Odd Advice to Parents.

Surely it is a good plan, now and
again. to pose to children, while they
are still too young to find us out! They
are bored by impassive parents: they
love, to see US moved and to be sur.
prised by us; it gives them pleasure
to get a flash of dramatic feeling out
of US, like spark out of q heavy Ley
den jar. Let us be their actors and
play to their tiny gallery, setting be-
fore them the image of things as they
are "Oh. but we ought always to be
perfectly natural" you say. Indeed,
we ought not. Perfect naturalness is
sor brute beasts which have no under
standing. We ought to take the trou-
BILE to be performers for the children's
benefit, and the perfectly natural
parents are mostly they who believe
that their children are made for them.
not they for their children.

No Enchantment In Music.

Last night woman fiat dweller had
two concert tickets to give away. To
person after person living in an apart
ment house where she had many ao-
quaintances the tickets were proffered
and were declined with thanks. What
ais all those people, anyhow" ex-
claimed the woman in disgust. Have
they no music in their souls ?" "They
have" said friend, "but one of the
violinists who plays in that orchestra
lives in the building and you couldn't
hire one OF his neighbors to 60 to hear
him. Their case is by no means OK.
ceptional have tried to give away
concert tickets myself, and experience
has taught me ethat of all people in
New York who adjure concerts none
stay away quite SO religiously as those
who live next door to one of the per.
formers. York Times.

Washington, Jan. ga republican
SENATOR from the state Of Virginia
think of it.
OF course, It sounds almost out of
the question that the solid south should
be struck amidships by such politi-
cal blow. But there seems to be pos
sibility Of it.
It is the understanding in political
circles here that Congressman Camp
bell Bascom Slemp, republican, of the
Ninth Virginia district, will be a can
didate for the senate against Senator
Claude Augustus Swanson. whose term
will expire March 3, 1917.
The election will be by popular vote
next fall and an analysis of the situa-
ton shows that II Slemp is a candidate
there will be q struggle in the old do
minion Of most noteworthy sort.
Slemp, as was his father before him,
is the lone republican member from
Virginia. He comes from that district
in the southwest Of the state, which is
mountain stronghold OF republican,
ism. He has always been invincible in
the battle of politics and altho under
ordinary circumstances a republican
would have no show of the senate in
Virginia, the circumstances of this case
are entirely out of the ordinary.
One District Controls.
It Is pointed out that the Ninth Vir-
ginia district casts about 10000 votes
ais against from 5000 to 5000 votes in
each of the eastern congressional dis
tricts Of the state. Moreover, the
Eitth congressional district, the home
OF Senator Swanson, came within
ninety-one votes in 1908 of being car
ried by the republicans. Republicans
aver republican would have been
seated from that district at that time
had not a democratic house prevented.
In the Seventh district, the republicans
have high hopes Of electing young
John Paul. Norfolk and some of the
northern Virginia counties are showing
strong republican trend. Governor
Stuart, who u q democrat, is not with
the democratic machine that has a
strong grip on the state. Congress-
man Montague, Of the Third district, is
another opponent Of the machine in his
party. Under the circumstances, re-
publicans think the situation ripe for
&C master stroke Of politics. such as
would be the election of senator
chosen from their party.
Republicans calculate that Congress-
man Slemp could emerge from his
mountain fastness In a senatorial cam
paign with 10000 majority. II would
not be easy for Senator Swanson to
overcome this II the republicans make
as good showing in scattered coun-
ties as they have made recently. More
over, the Virginia republicans think the
republican party is on a rising tide of
strength and that the tide may sweep
tom to victory in the old dominion
'ahes fall.
