MIR. RoosEvEIrs INFLUENCE.

The Worlds Work for August in
rchearsing the political situation pays
this tribute to Theodore Roosevelt:
THE issues of the campaign are much
the better for the coloners activities.
The largest single awakening force
has been Theodore Roosevelt. For
his awakening activity the American
public should be grateful to him.
Paradoxical as 1t may seem. Mr..
Hughes's nomination was largely due
to his most serious opponent, for the
Republican party had either to take
Colonel Roosevelt himself, or nomi-
nate an independent and able candi-
date, or accept Colonel Roosevelt's op-
position and with it certain defeat.
The Republican nomination in Chi
cago is much the better for the COL
onel's participation in the general pro-
ceedings"

SIDE TALK
Her Friends ca Advice.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


A letter friend is in a queer guam
dairy. She is the mother of two boys,
whom she has tried to bring up to
the best of her ability. Some
friends CD have offered this startling
criticism-"that, playing with the boys
as we do and all mingling together,
we will lose our influence over them"
Can you equal it?
Who has more influence over the
boy who spends his time away from
home-his boy companions or his par
ents? We all know the answer to
that, and a sad answer it often is
Who, then, is going to have the
greatest influence with these boys?
Their companions, of course, who are
in this case those who love them best.
But 1 didn't take up the subject to
prove a point which is practically an
axiom interfering friends to the con-
Introduction to the picture of her home
life, which my letter friend has given
me.
Here it is:
II have two boys, IL and IA years
of age. They are great home-loving
boys. The older one is a great reader
We have always tried to give him the
best of bokos; his father reads the
same books and magazines he reads
to try to keep up with his reading.
Nearly every day some of his boy
companions come home from school
with him; they take the afternoon up
in reading.
1.-THE other one also brings his
companions home with him; they in
dulge in games such as rock, check
ers and many other house games
They play the piano, cornet, violin and
bugle; both being scout boys, of course
they love a bugle.
We have always tried as best we
could to make their home as pleasant
as possible. although we only have a
little bungalow.
Their father and I have always
been more companions than parents.
1t is not that we forbid them to run
the streets, but they stay in because
they say we have a better time at
home. People sometimes ask why 1
allow the boys to bring their company
home in all kinds of weather in mud
and snow. Well, they are always
self that with a little trouble 1 can
clean the druggets, and 1 know where
the boys are and that they are happy
which makes me happy.
After the boys leave, my boys are
looking forward to the night coming
of their father. and after supper they
all play rock until about 10 o'clock"
Then follows the question 1 quoted
She signs her appeal, AN anxious
mother" 1 don't think she needs to
be. On the contrary, I think she
might have written her experience for
the benefit of other mothers and with
the one alteration that the boys ought
to have little more fresh air and go
to bed little earlier). she might have
called it The Experience of a Per
fectly Successful Mother."-(Copy-
right by George Matthew Adams)

around Verdun constitute the last of
the major offensives that Germany
will be able to make no matter how
long the European struggle may con-
tinue. Germany is now on the defen-
sive on all the battle fronts, and the
Allies are claiming that their drives
and pushes have not yet reached their
maximum force. incidentally, the
riotous demonstrations of enthusiasm
in Berlin and other big German CEN
tiers of a couple or so months ago over
the capture of Verdun by the soldiers
of the kaiser. and the opening again
of the way for the Germans to march
to Paris, were decidedly premature.

In view of the fact that it was the
esteemed pastor of an Emporia church
Who landed a 55-pound catfish cut of

story may be accepted as true and
there is no need to take the weight of
the fish with a grain of salt or two.
But it might be, of course, that some
nnorthodox and less ethical friend
weighed the fish. And with a fish

One little lone round raindrop sat
on the tip, tip edge of a great, Dig ram
cloud and looked over the edge at the
world below. He saw forests and nv
ers and cities and plains; and some,
times when the mother cloud dropped
very low he even caught glimpse or
boys and girls, who looked curiously
like tiny, tiny spiders, they were so far
away.
II wish 1 could see more" said the
one little lone round raindrop all to
himself. II wish 1 could go down
there and see for myself all the won

of-that's what 1 wishi"
Better not wish" whispered Mother
Cloud kindly; better be glad for what

ground will be all wet and the chill
dren will have to go into the houses
and they won't like that-not a little
biti"
So the one little lone round raindrop
didn't wish any more-or If he did. he
didn't say anything about it.
But he kept on looking, and looking,
and looking at the wonderful sights
below.
And the great big winds blew; and
the great big cloud sailed across the
sky so hurry-scurry fast that there
was always something new to see.
Suddenly the cloud dropped lower.
and what do you suppose that one lit
tie lone round raindrop saw? You'd
never guess
He saw a playground full of chill

he was SO excited he forgot all about
being careful not to fall and all that
He called to all the other raindrops,

Then of course all the other rain

QUAKER MEDITATIoNs.

It's all right to give the devil his
due, but don't over-pay him.
Many a mans knowledge of tools
is limited to the use of a corkscrew.
Might doesn't make right, unless
you happen to be on the winning side.
The man with an iron will shouldn't
allow it to get rusty from lack of use.
1t is better to get the reputation Of
being as quick as lightning than as
slow as thunder.
It is better to throw your whole
soul into your work than to merely
put your foot in it.
Before casting your bread upon the

an evangelist working out in Missouri
recently established what would ap-
pear to be a reasonable claim for this
honor by stealing blind mans wife,
after he had converted her. However,
as he was only sent to Jail for ninety
days and fined 800 for the offense,
the court evidently considered it moth
ing more than petit larceny. which was
likely a reasonable Judgment in that

much.
