There is a type of young woman
who glories in the number of scalps
she can collect, and who follows this
pleasing pursuit with an ardor that
would be worthy Of better cause.
No scientist in the realm of zoology
has set forth his specimens with
keener enthusiasm and trimphantly
attached their individual labels with a
greater pride than does the scapl-col
lector add up her victims and detaIi
them in catalogue.

scientific collectors, loves to examine
her specimens, to keep them on view,
and to parade them for the benefit of
sight-seers. Other girls may cultivate

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE KINGS SCHEME.

Once upon time there was king
who wanted to take a long journey,
and he wished to leave his vast wealth
in gold with some one who would
guard it and at the same time send to-
him such amounts as he should need,
for it would be very inconvenient to
carry about so much gold.
SO he chose from his servants one
named Kali, and told him of his plan.
Guard this room WELL" said the king,
"for in here is all my gold, and when
] return | will reward you"
The king set out upon mis- journey
and Kali guarded the gold, sending
each time the amount his master re-
quested When at last his master had
been gone a year Kali thought he had
guarded the gold so long that he
would not wait for his master to re-
turn, but help himself to the gold. So
he took away as much as he could
carry each night and hid it in cave
in the woods.
Another year passed and al last the
gold was almost gone, and when his
master sent to him for more Kali sent
word to his master that some one must
have worked a magic spell upon the
gold for it was nearly all gone, and
his master came lfurrying home only
to find himself poor man, for, as
Kali had said, there remained but a
small quantity of the gold.
81 have guarded the gold well" Kal
told the king; 81 have slept here, ant

Kali told him, but he pretended tina

CHILD IN SICKNESS
AND IN HEALTH.
BY Louise E. Hogan.

Mothers very much need to encour-
age the love for the child that frees
the child, instead of the love which
binds and kills initiative. Children
need to develop self-reliance, obedi-
ence and all good habits at very
early age. They respond quickly to
treatment which produces it. They
quickly gain power of decision, if al
lowed chance.
Since there can be no hard-and-fast
rule for training children under I, the
mother must be the method. Hence
the need of mother training as well as
child training. This is what well
known educational specialist recos-
nizes when hand in hand with the
