Much Of the young child's conduct
results from purely instructive i'm
pulses. So every child will lie under
suitable provocation, without thereby
indicating a streak of untruthfulness;
or Louise may do just what she is told
not to do without yielding altogether
to the demon Of unrighteousness.
A woman recently asked: "Do you
believe in the spiritual interpretation
of child nature, or in tbe scientific in

that there is conflict between scien-
tific truth and spiritual truth. 1t is

The scientists have shown that the
ability to choose ones actions, and the
consciousness of purpose and of conse-
quences, develop very slowly in the
childs mind. Until there is conscious
ness Of right and wrong, and until the
child is quite able to choose what he
does and what he does not do, 1t Is
useless to speak Of the moral quality
Of his acts, no matter what their ac-

PLANT THAT MAKES TCE"
Habits of the Frost Weed Have Long
Proved a Puzzle to Bot
anists.

Late in autumn, after producing two
sets of blooms, the frost weed becomes
miniature Ice factory and forms
crystals of "ice" about the cracked
bark Of the root. On each little brok-
en- rootlet there appear cakes of '1ce,"
exactly right In size for the refriger-
ator Of fairy queen. AS yet no bot
anlst has been able to discover the
secret of the plants ice-making.
The ice appears often long before
Ice is formed on the ponds, and can
be found by digging up the deeply set
rootlets.
Two blooming seasons is another
popularity Of the plant. Early In
June II sends out a wealth of golden
yellow blossoms, having FIVE petals
each and set at intervals upon the
thickly leaved stem.
Then late in August the plant flow
ers again. producing blooms Identical
with those of the earlier season.

When all the facts In the case are
considered one Is tempted to suspect
that Louise was actuated by the imp

and Louise had only moved the chair.
It is still the usual thing to look
upon children as embodiments of one
or the other of the two conflicting

IF vs. think that a child is either an
angel or a devil, and that our chief
concern In life Is to adore these of the
second.
One thing that modern studies In
child nature has taught us is that
young children are>neither virtuous nor
wicked; they are not moral, and they
are not Immoral" They do many
things that are quite acceptable to
older people, and even pleasing. And
they do many things that are decided.

harmonic with our notion of what
ought to be done.
To say that child's conduct is un.
moral does not take from him the pos
sibility of spiritual development. On
the contrary, the assumption that the
child is a moral being would seem to
leave nothing for growth. The sense
of righteousness and the feeling Of
guilt are not born in the child; they
have to be achieved through trial and
suffering.

Reunion of Florida Veterans.

Tampa, Fla, Oct, 12-Preparations
are being made to entertain 500 Con-
federate Veterans, a large number Of
Sons and Daughters of the Confeder-
acy and 5000 visitors during the an
nual reunion of Florida Confederate
Veterans in this city October II, 18
and 10. Free lodgings will be pro-
vided for at least 300 of the Veterans.
Headquarters for the Veterans will be
at the Hillsboro Hotel, those of the
Sons at the Bay View, and headquar-
ters for the Daughters at the DeSoto.
These are all modern, up-to-date ho-
tells, and in addition there are large
number of smaller hotels ready to
handle guests.
Five hundred special badges have
been ordered for the Veterans and
Sons of Veterans and large number
for the Daughters. Moving picture
theaters have promised to admit all
Veterans free and an effort is being
made to have the street car lines fur
nish them with free transportation
about the city, using their Confeder-
ate crosses as credentials. A splen-
did time is guaranteed all the Veter
ans attending, Tampans being wide
awake to the opportunity given them
to establish their reputation as good
hosts.
An interesting and highly pleasing
program has been arranged for the re-
union period, including business and
social sessions. Many entertainment
features will be added. The business
sessions will be held in the handsome
new City Hall.
