OPPOSES ONE MAN SYSTEM
Writer Tells of Danger in Allow
ing Nobody to Work but
Father.

Kindly disposed persons who are in
terested in the prevention of eternal
consequences should take note of the
fact that our most priced institution,
the family, has gone far enough in It's
exploitation of fathers earning abil-
ity. Only within the last half century
or so has It been the practice for one
lone member of the family to grab
enough of the worlds goods to support
all the others in idleness and social
hilarity. 1t hasn't been long since
mother and the boys regularly took
a hand in getting, and occasionally
ever the girls helped out a little.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the one-man system of support is
only an experiment. 1t is subject to
change without notice, and without
quarter. Honest, simple-minded folk,
and all others, are warned that there
will doubtless be a little weeping and
crashing Of teeth when the break
ONE If we don't take care there
may be considerably more than a little,
dreams may have to be resorted to,
says a writer in Judge.
Some of the more excitable friends
of man say that it is high time that
our ions and daughters be provided
with something other than advantages,
and that they be taught to expect
something besides allowances and
patrlmonies. Alarmists are foresee-
ing all sorts of dire conditions-a race
of spineless dependents, trying to col
lect the living that some fool has
said the world owes them not being
the least of such conditions. AL
though it will not be so bad as that,
we may with propriety start a mod
est preparation, by making it a fell
ony for parents to provide their chill
dren with nothing but advantages. We
may thus in some alleviate
the misery of tomorrow.

Garden

The day when we came unexpected
ly on stark and staring iron deer OF no
particular artistic value in our own
and our neighbors' gardens has, for
t~unately, almost passed, But garden
statuary is not amiss If it be OF the
right sort. A charming fountain in
n of the small parks of New York
city is of just the sort that a bit of
garden statuary should be. 1t is Just
at the edge of one of the park paths
and yet 1t possesses an unexpected.
fairylike charm. A child faun crouches
comfortably under a bowlder and over
the edge of the bowlder appears the
friendly face of a sprawling bear cub,
clinging fiat with all fours to the
rocks surface and looking down on
this strange little playfellow. There
is true beauty in the modelling Of this
fountain, and 1t has, moreover, Just
the sentiment and feeling to make 1t
suitable to the out-of-doors.

hands touched at times and it gave
him a tingle and a thrill.
Finally the lady had the clothes In

been riddled by this time"
But, consciously flustered by the
bright, smiling eyes of the woman, the
professor jammed his hat down over
his head and started on his self,ap-
pointed quest.
He kept looking aloft as he went
down the road, but there was no sign
of the missing sheet, Before he real
lied it he was in the woods. 1t began
to rain, but the professor was a per-

Aha! I've found it."
He had come to a fringe of bushes
beyond which lay a mucky stretch.
Twenty feet out, caught on a clump of
reeds and trailing in the muddy slime,
was a sheet-the sheet, Of course!
The professor had low shoes. He
thought Of the lady In whose behalf he
was laboring and became reckless, ex-
periencing a keen sense of .chiValric
devotion. He waded and sank In the
DOGGY soil, but he got the sheet. 1t

the town laundry. I'll have 1t done up
nicely and send tier, no, I'll take II
back myself. 1t may entertain her to
know how far the wind carried it."
Several people stared broadly at the
wet, muddy and disordered professor.
He reached the laundry. The sheet
would be all ready for him that eve
ming. he was informed.
1t was a few minutes after eight that
evening when the professor reached
the Briggs cottage. 1t had warmed his
heart every time that day he had
thought Of the winsome lady. His
ardor cooled as he neared the house,
Its front was shaded and dark. A light

around the Side of the house and
peered in.

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men, sent by their communities to con-
cert measures for securing their rights as Eng
lishmen," became convinced that these could not
be obtained save by ceasing to be British sub
jects" and declaring themselves American citl-
zens."
Let us look behind the formal phrases of the
immortal Declaration to the faith of these men
and of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the justice of their cause and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed in themselves; In their ability TO
do right and justice. They believed In the COM
petence of stalwart manhood to govern itself and
TO provide for the common welfare. They be-
leved they could make better arrangements In
government than men had made before them.
They believed in themselves, in their people, In
America.
Americans of late have done n great deal Of
fault-finding with America. There is not so much
now as a year or two ago. The spectacle across
the Atlantic tends to hush 1t, and to give new
point to the saying that "other countries" are
what make Americans so proud of their own.
In the light of that spectacle and of our own

Plain David Brown was used to plain
and homely things. He a repressed
and homely himself. except when his
great soul spoke forth. There were
occasions where, in his lectures at
the town college where he was a pro
fessor of metaphysics. the plain simple
face was transformed under the influ-
encc Of eloquence and enthusiasm.
It was a windy day-in fact. taking
his customary stroll and forced to hold
on his broad brimmed hat. David cast
his weather-wise eyes across the sky
and discerned hurricane conditions.
"Ill get back to the college" de-
cidcd David. but Just then he noticed
that the Dale place, a cottage that had
, been for some time without a tenant,
showed signs of life and activity. He
had heard that a widow with two
small children. a Mrs. Briggs. had pur-
chased the place.
That must be Mrs. Briggs now"
ruminated the professor, who took note
of everything going on usually.
She was hanging up her washing and
It raj 4 big one. She was young-look-
ing. handsome and alert as she moved
among the luttering garments.
"Oh, dear mel" challenged the pro-
fessor as he turned to regain shelter.
There was a roar, a ripping, tearing
sound. Down to earth swooped a
mighty wind. The lady grasped at a
string Of clothes torn loose at both
ends, Then, holding the grouped mass
in her arms, petrified she saw the sec
ond line of clothes wrenched from
place and go sailing aloft and then
make a dive.

fessOr about the shoulders, Just escap-
ing a plunge into the mud and mire of

Pupils should have Individual gar
dens. Give each child a plot n nave
the responsibility his alone II only q
single plant can be grown on tnat
plot, or use a pot plant, advises Tue
Washington Star. Let the child see
the result of his care or neglect. lhls
cannot be accomplished where several
children work in the same plot or care
for the same plant. Not many grown
people, IL they are really good garden
ers. would care to have each OF the
neighbors come in and take a hand at
his garden. Individual work stimulates
the interest and pride in the work, en-
courages skill and Judgment that Is
entirely lost by collective work and
at the same time develops the idea Of
responsibility.
Limited space necessitates the use
Of only compact, low-growing plants.
In vegetables, r%adishes, lettuce, beans,
beets and similar plants.
The children should do all the work,
preparing the land, planting the seed
and caring for the plants, the teacher
explaining each step. Bulletin 21S OF
the department of agriculture de-
scribes the work and it is sent free on
application.
From Washington southwark seeds
may be planted in the open ground,
but in the North the seeds should be
sown in boxes and kept growing until
the middle of May to the first of June,
according to the latitude, when they
can be planted in their permanent To-
cations.
Towering plants that are good for
the purpose are ageratum, nasturtium,
petunia, California poppy, zinnia and
p~ortulaca.

OF GREAT MOMENT in HISTORY.

The declaration of American independence was
of unequaled moment in history. AS the result
of that fact, the United States of America has
risen to a greatness which has changed the face
of the world. In a little less than seven score
of years 1t has changed us from a nation of@peo-
pie scattered thinly along the coast of the At
lantic, to a nation of over a hundred millions of
people stretching over the whole continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. and even into the
lands beyond the seas. Moreover, In wealth and
in material energy, as In numbers. 1t now far sur
passes the mother country from which 1t sprang.

H HOME TOWN

Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame,
Some seek skies always sunny.
AND some depart in shame.
I care not what the reason
Men travel East or West.
Or what the month or season,
The home town is the best.
The home town rs the glad town
Where something real abides,
IT'S not the money mad town
That all its spirit hides.
Though strangers scof and flout It
And even jeer its name,
1t has a charm about 1t
No other town can claim.
The home town skies seem bluel
Than skies hat stretch away.
TIL home town friends seem truer
And kinder through the day,
And whether glum or CHEEKY
Light hearted or depressed
Or struggle fit or weary
1 like the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
To distant towns to live,
OF some things I am fonder
Thar all they have to give.
The gold of distant places
Could not repay me quite
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright.

however, the membership had changed slightly, so
that the "signers' were not Identical with the
body of delegates who had declared for independ

time that Hancock, making his great familiar sig
