DULlED BY MONEY-GRUBBING
, Writer'S Criticisms Of the Relations Of
Most Mlddle-class Fathers to
Their Families.

Someone has said that the great
est effort OF civilization up to date has
been attaching man to the family"
writes Mary Ware bennett in the Cen
fury. Very likely. but in many ways
the attachment has been bad for him
and bad for the family. 1t has devel-
oped in him a pernicicus type OF pride
which had led him to deem women and
children as possessions-a pride no
less false when sugar-coated with SEN
timental or chivalrous talk OF the my
wife. or mother. my sister. my chill
dren" variety.
Mems families have been for the
most part either a source OF this false
pride or else a milestone round their
necks; sometimes both. Most middle
class men are hopelessly dulled and
stupefied by mere grubbing to get the
family bills paid. In the "wage-slave"
class, both the men and the women
share the same stupid fate the women
always getting the worst of 1t. how
ever. for childbearing is added to their
other labors. Men have been apt to
assume that their responsibilities to
women and children were wholly dis
charged by merely paying over cash,
without much personal service. Both
men and women have meant well. but
the men have been rather stupidity
selfish and the women stupidity un-
selfish.

"Good-by to my dream OF dreamsl"
sighed Vance Edison. sadly.
He stood at the window Of the plain
house he called home. Its bewildering
attachment was the radiant garden.
There the captivating scene fascinated
his vision.
A lovely girl OF nineteen sat on
rustic bench between a golden-haired
little maid OF four and a rosy-cheeked
lad two years her senior. The little
ones were adjusting a wreath made
up OF pansies and forgetmenots
across her rare fiaxen hair-a happy,
laughing trio, and yet 1t made Vance
Edison's heart ache. for in the COM
bination lay his distraction.
The young lady was Nella Burt, the
daughter OF a widow. his neIt-door
neighbor. Both she and her invalid
mother had found a true friend in the
young college professor. His life was
very simple and humble, yet bright
and merry were the hours they spent
In the garden that was the pride and
glory OF the place.
Then the father OF the two chill
drep came along. He was an uncle OF
Edison, a sea-faring man. He had
been compelled to give up his ship on
account of failing health. He had
taken his motherless children from an
asylum where they had been placed.
He had come to Edison's home. car

Alasi before another sunrise a seiz-
ure attacked the old salt. The little

son cared for them tenderly.
He said nothing to anybody concern

Woman,s Original Plan.

An unusual course OF reading was
devised by an original woman to while
away the tedium of conSalescence.
She determined to look up every un-

book she read, to read up on every
subject mentioned OF which she was
ignorant, and to read every book
whose title might appear IN the book

How to Pronounce "LL.n

as to the correct pronunciation of Eng

our language offers no obstacles equal

the confidence of the peasants by
summoning representatives from all
parts OF the country.
One OF the mobiles was selected to
explain to the peasants the value OF
united effort, but he had difficulty in
making them understand.
Finally he said to an old man who
was acting as spokesman for the peas
ants:

The man tried to lift 1t, but failed.
The noble directed another man to
go to the assistance of the first. The
two tugged at the stone. but were
unable to move 1t. A third peasant,
then a fourth. and finally u fifth was
sent to their aid. and by combined
effort the stone was lifted. Said the
noble:

"Shoo-shool" suddenly aroused
him.
Nella uttered the somewhat star
Ting cries. She had sprang from the
side OF the children, nearly upsetting
them. Edison saw her run up to the
vines that half covered the side of the
house. She was welding fan as
weapon. There was the fiutter of
bright winged bird driven into sudden
flight.
Then Nella was down on her knees;
Edison saw her Lift a small squirming
object from the ground.

sweet sympathetic tones. The

His curiosity and interest aroused.
Edison hurried to the front door, and
thence into the garden.

showed a beetleahaped bug lying in
the palm OF her hand. It was an un-

One of the greatest successes in

so rapidly that W. l., Gokay, the popu
