I'm these modern days, when the
outcome of false philosophy has
proven the fatal results of infldelity
to all of supernatural doctrine, the
lesson is brought home with over
whelming force that there is no
greater catastrophe than emotional
ism uncontrolled by the fixed doctrines
of right reason. 1t is not that the
spirit of this university is opposed
to the necessary and inevitable
changes in the concrete application of
economic and scientific discovery, but
rather in approaching the problems of
life we should observe the precedents
of preceding generations, holding in
the language of Lord Bacon that an

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
FOR THE "BoYs' TO READ.

One day six or eight boys were
standing on the street corner. An
electric car was coming at full speed.
Presently one boy said:
who's afraid to run across the
track in front of that carr"
Il amt scared to" said Jimmy.
Bet ANTI"
II dare you to-!
Jimmy was one of these chaps who
never take dare" and what did he
do but race into the street right in
front of the big, swift-moving car.
The motorman screamed for Jimmy
to go back, but Jimmy wasn't going
to be "bluffed' and on he went. The
heel of his shoe caught on the farther
rail, and the result was that Jimmy
went home minus one leg.
Now do you think any one called
Jimmy brave? To tell the actual
truth, big, outspoken groceryman,
who stood in front of the store and
saw the occurrence, said:
"The boy was silly to cross the track
just because the other boys dared him
to-"
This was harsh but not unfair judg
ment. Jimmy was, to say the least
very silly to risk his life rather than
take dare"

ooh, goody-goody, you know; the
sort that talks and talks about what
one ought to do and what one ought
not to do"
But she never said word about
what l or anyone else should do. 1t
was not that type of sermon at all.
1t was her kind and eonsiderate deeds
all along the way that I am referring
to. Listen! First, she stopped at the
little news stand on the. corner and
left post card to pay for one the
woman had let her have when she
was in great rush to catch the post
and found she hadn't any change.
She took pains to stamp it, although
the one she had received had not
been stamped. The woman said, oh,
you are too kind but she looked
pleased. 1t was a graceful thing to
do, wasn't it? ] am sure she does not
find too many who ever go any further
than paying up to the letter.
"Going little farther, we met the
MasherWoman's boy, and nothing
would do but she must give him an
apple out of the bag of fruit she had
for her luncheon. Then we stopped at
her seamstress to pay for a blouse.
When the woman said it was dollar,
Cousin Maggie took out a dollar and
half, saying that was little enough
for such good work. The woman
thanked her with tears streaming
down her cheeks. If more were like

hard for honest, struggling workers to
get along.

"TREATINGv MOTHER.

It happened when Mrs. Scott was
visiting the friend of her girlhood days,
who was now Winnie's mother, AS
the two women started out together to
luncheon given for Mrs. Scott by
another girlhood friend, Winnies
mother said laughingly:
"This is the first time I've gone out
to social affair for-oh, for ages!"
"Why, what is the matter?" cried
Mrs. Scott. "You were always SO pop
ular, and had so many friends, and
how you did love a good time! Have
you changed?"
'Not bit, but-well, you know how
it is in a small place like Bloomdale.
We share our good times with our
daughters, and our receptions, and
parties and picnics include the
youngsters. I'm so glad it is that way,
too-we are lots happier all together,
the young and the not-so-young! But
Winnie and | can't very well be away

81 see! But why don't you take

times?''

Loyalty. but you know how mothers
are! l like to see Winnie with her
friends. She is SO popular-everyone
loves Winnie
Mrs. Scott kept her eyes open, and
she saw many things. She realized
almost at once that Winnie was in
deed charming girl, deserving of the
love that was showered upon her. But
well, her very popularity drew so
many around her that perhaps one
could not wonder that Winnie's moth
er was crowded little to one side.
But Mrs. Scott, loving Winnie more
every day of her visit, determined
that something must be done.
The. second day of Mrs. Scots
visit, Winnie's mother had accom-
panied her friend to q lawn party.
After that, Winnie was Mrs. Scots
companion. One evening, returning
from a social gathering, they found
Winnies mother and the boys wait
ing up for them, playing dominoes
around the big table.

"Oh, lovely exclaimed Mrs. Scott.

evening
"She always is, put in one of the
boys, enthusiastically.

thoughtfully. Il could not keep from

gathering was quite perfect it you
were not there? 1t seems that the
mantle of popularity is settled in
your family"
Winnie had paused, her chocolate
cup just touching her lips. She was
looking at her mother as if fascinated.
'You should have been at the re-
ception with us the other day, Win
ME-" went on Mrs. Scott lightly. "You
would have laughed! When saw DR..
Lee carrying sandwiches to your
mother, and Judge Bowles running
after ices for her-while a constant
crowd circled around herI remem-
bered the old days, and thought,
she is just the same; she hasn't
changed How you did enjoy those
old social gatherings-and you do still,
| see."
Winnie still held the cup to her lips,
but did not drink. Her eyes were
deep, unfathomable. And Mrs. Scott
feared that her effort was wasted.
But in the morning, two days later,
when Winnie's mother was looking
with critical eyes at Winnie's pink
dress, Winnie took it gently from her.
I'm not going this afternoon, moth
er," she said. I'll stay with the tads,
and you go with Mrs. Scott"
Her mother objected. Winnie in
sisted. Finally her mother brought
out the old argument:
81 won't enjoy it a bit, Winnie, if
you are not there. You know how
love to see you with your friends!"
"Yes," said Winnie dryly, my popu-
larity has cheated you out of many
good times, mother mine. We've put
entirely too much emphasis on me
and my friends, and none at all on
you and yours"
"But l won't enjoy it." protested
Winnies mother.
So presently Winnie went upstairs,
and came down with her purse in her
hand. She went to the phone and
called number. Presently she asked:
May | speak to Halter"
| And then little latter she said:
rs this Hattie? Are you going to
be busy this afternoon? Oh, that is
nice. Can you come over and look
after the little ones while mother and
/ are away? We will be gone until
about five-thirty, and you must come
early to look after them while we get
ready. How much will you charge?
Then she paused a moment, and
then said:
Fifty cents? Very well. And we
will probably want you at least once
a week, sometimes afternoons, some
times evenings. Mother won't trust
the little ones to any one but you
We know You so well, and you arc
such a good hand with the children
and so trustworthy"
But when she rang off, her mother
said:
ooh, Winnie, we really can't afford
it. 1t would be lovely, but
And Winnie looked at her mother
and noted her shining eyes. Winnie's
own were soft and dewy.
ITS my treat, mother. she laughed
as she added: Every time we get
her, I shall pay for it. I've piled q

IMPAcTIoN IN WORK HORSES
Animals Are Turned Out to Old

By DIR. l. Il. NEWSoN, Colorado Eek
pertinent Station.)
This Is the time OF the year when
fmpaction of the bowels is most COM
mon to work horses. The animals
having little to do are turned out to
an old straw stack or coarse alfalfa
and allowed to shift for themselves.
Owing to the cold weather they drink
little water and the coarse food not
being properly moistened clogs the
intestines. This is more liable to be
the case II the teeth are not in first
class condition. for then the food is
not finely ground in the mouth. Look
ing after the teeth and giving an oc-
easional bran mash will materially
reduce impactions,
