When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec

men of Mr.. Wilson cry what would

Is Mr.. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Tart
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead Of crying
"What would you have doner They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record Of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path Of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all In the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did mo- pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
NullDulEu I'LL ltDu'liulC Nhtih oitNs
he entered office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful In his
use Of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
%rhetoricjan, he was not a fiatterer, he
was not "too proud to fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks MIR,
Hughes Is making upon the record OF
the Administration by asking him
"What would you do?" they are un'
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor OF New
York. II was then that he first SAID
"public office shall not be a private
snap under my administration" ant
made performance square with prom
Use. There is this about Mr.. Hughes
that makes him so different from Mr.
Wilson: "Hughes means what III
says" So It Is that the campaign Il
really a contest of character between
two men. with sincerity as the differ
entiatlng and deciding factor.

eating apron that ever covered dainty
ruftles or Dickens suits, and when

matter the making OF such an apron
can be she will hasten to fashion one
for the lttlest girl or boy in the
nursery. A Turkish towel or a simple
huck affair can he turned with snip
of the scissors and Il few stitches into
a comfortable, easily managed apron.
At about two-thirds of the length of

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.

The Boy Scouts of America is an or
ganization for giving the boys OF
America a real good time. There is Il
lot of study in the work of Scoutcraft,
but it happens that because its leaders
know the boy. all the study is just fun.
Boy scouts learn I'LL the wholesome
outdoor sports. first aid and rescue
work. camping. boating. photography,
wireless, botany. forestry. how to
make tents and shelters. how to build
canoes and yachtS-all the things Il
normal boy ycarns to do. The work is
made valuable by competent direction.
The grownups in the scout work are
and have to be he kind of men who
make chums OF the boys. Every ef-
fort is made to do the boy good and
safeguard him against harm. 1t is as
easy to belong to the boy scouts as it
is to belong to a gang and it's Il lot
more fun.

Pantomime Performances,

Most rantomime characters We're
originally borrowed from the Italians
The first real English pantomime was
produced at Il theater in LincOln'S Inn
Fields in 1920. 1t WaS called "IIarle-
Uuin Executed" and its subtitle was
"A New Italian Comic Scene Between
Il Scaramouchc, Il Harlequin, a Coun-
try Farmer. His Wife and Others"
The performance W;l> very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances WAS completely altered,
chiefly because of the genius Of the
famous Grimalai. who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Girl
Mll,li first appeared ut SndlerS Wells

The Founding of Frankfort.

The beautiful German commercial
city of Frankfort on the Main is said
to have had Il curious origin.
When the Emperor Charlemagne
contended with the S:Xons the for
tunes OF war We're often against him.
On one occasion he was forced to retire
along the banks of the Main. At the
time there was thick fog, and he was
unable to lind his ship or amy place
where his army could cross.
He was almost in despair when a
doe, carrying Il young One splang from
Il tllicket in alarm. leapeu into the
stream and SWAN over. Charlemagne
followed the example and crossed at
the same place. The fog concealed the
army, which escaped detection.
When the emperor reached the shore
he stuck his spear into the earth and
exclaimed:
Here shall city arise, to be called
FranllenfOrd"'
In consequence of crossing the
stream he OVerthrew the SuXons He

Concerning the problem of what has
been termed the ''impossiIle church,"

Il new outlet for its Christian service

Because of this three New York cler-

"\llE map OF Europe mas been

been any historical record.
There have been times when
cliangos have been expected that have
not occurred. One thing is noticeable
no nation in Europe has thrown off

Sixty years ago Hungary was in Il
position of antagonism to Austria.
Louis kossuth came to the United
States, which was in those days the
mecca cf all peoples who desired to he

IL revolution against the other wing OF
the dual empire. He was treated liber-

4 In and Out of the Children's Playroom
"GU|L7Y OR INNOCENT"

The game called guilty or innocent"
is interesting.
One of the company gets himself up
to represent the old man of the woods;
mails such as lion, tiger, leopard, and
so on.
The players seat themselves around
the room. and the old man. standing in
the center. tells them that some one of
their number has committed Il crime
and he is about to question them in or
der that he may discover the guilty one.
He then begins, "\ow. Mr.. Lion.
where have you been hunting, and
what have you eaten today
Il l'lntel in the forest and caught
an antelope
Then YOU are twice guilty and must
pay two forfeits.' says the old man.
and the lion must pay his forfeit with
out being told the crime he has COM
mitted
The old man passes on to Il polar
bear, "Where did you hunt, and what
have YOU eaten:' he asked.
II hunted in the water and had a
fine fish to eat
The polar bear is pronounced inno-
cent. The real game is that no animal
may bring in the letter 20 either i'll
his hunting ground or the food he eats.
Forest and "antelope" both have an
80" in them. so the lion has to pay
two forfeits. Whereas water and
fish having no "o,' the bear was de-
clarc,l innocent.
The great fun is for the old man to
keep the secret of guilty or "inno-
cent" to himself. but even if the other
players know the secret it is very diff
licult not to make 4 slip. as the an
sWers must Ie given promptly.
When the game is over the players
must pay for their forfcits in amy way

And q second misfortune followed i'm

The Happy Policy Of Keeping Things

Sometimes women are not RESPONSE

to make life wretched for others in in
Vulnerable little ways. You have prob
ably been to a shiftless home where
affairs are allowed to run themselves,
just as if they could.
Nothing is in it's place. so that need
ed trit1es must often be renewed be-
cause the ones on hand can never be
found There is no health. in such Il
home. no repOse. no dignity. Goou
housekeepers abominate bad ones and
rarely put down the failings of the de-
fective woman to inability in domestic
matters. No excuses are made for the
atrocious housekeeper who is besides Il
wife and mother, for it is a woman S
business to know how to keep home.
The young daughters and sons OF
such establishments get a taste OF bet
ter kept homes as they go about and
soon become ashamed of their own. If
they grow up to its ways unconscious
of its discomfort and inelegance there
must come Il time when they will be
reduced to the society of persons be-
meath them. as the saying is.
