Nowhere is woman's character
more clearly shown, or her talents
given more scope for cultivation than
in home making, and in no sphere is
the true woman more content and hap
pier than in housekeeping. Home is
indeed the dearest place" ON earth
when rightly made, and the memory of
which remains with us until death,
and will do more to protect and re-
strain its inmates than the grandest
and most eloquent sermons from the
most gifted minister and orators. In
short, home is the kindergarten OF all
Christian work and influence. the
starting point Of all beautiful thoughts
and deeds.

Who Wrote the Constitution

1t is generally understood that
James Madison was the chief author
OF the Constitution of the United
States. Beyond a doubt the great in
strument was the joint product Of the
entire convention, but from the best
accounts Madison was the man who

sage it lost by vote of IA to Al. The
outcome was the result of an unfortu-
nate combination OF circumstances.
Several friendly members had been
called home and had neglected to pair
on the bill. Two or three votes were
changed from positive to negative
One member, Mr.. Otto OF Milwaukee
explained that he believed the amend.
ment providing for the vote in April,
1920, was unconstitutional since he
considered the April election not a
general election" as provided in 1.-The
state constitution. On the other hand,
assertion is made, the supreme court
has in a number of instances decided
that the spring election is a general
election. Effort may be made to Sc
cure reconsideration OF the measure.

THE PLEASURE CAME TOO LATE.
The farmer sat in the circle of light
shed by the lamp on the reading
table. His brow was wrinkled as he
ran over the figures in his bank book
with a stubby leadpencil. While he
figured, his wife sewed steadily and the
old clock on the mantel counted the
seconds under its breath.
AT length the man placed his spec
tacles in their case, put his clasped
hands about one knee, smiled slowly
and said, 1.-THE last payment on the
Dawkins farm has been paid, Jimmy, an
I've got a rightIsmart balance left ia
the bank. That last bunch OF shoats
l sold brought more money than
thought they would"
For time he sat evidently waiting
for his wife to make some remark,
but her needle clicked steadily along
hem while her eyes appeared glued
to her work. The farmer leaned for
ward, touched his wife upon her knee
and continued, Don't you remember
jimmy, ever so long ago, 1 told you
that just as soon as the Dawkins place
was paid for you an l would take a
trip, great big trip, anywhere you
wanted to go2"
"Yes," the woman answered without
taking her eyes from the hem, "yes,

fifteen years ago that you said wed

is not necessary to be rich and live in
a stately mansion with gilded walls
and carpeted floors, to be happy, for
happiness depends on theimind, and il
is better to live quietly in little three

with.

some pretty serious snags in the
shape of dairy and food agents who
have had no hesitancy in condemn
ing food found stored beyond the
legal limit. In number of instances
the agents rooted out foods which
had been stored in out-of-the-way
places and ordered the packages out
lawed, notifying the owners that if
they attempted to sell they would
be prosecuted to the fullest extent
of the law.
One report from Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties to Dairy and
Food Commissioner James Foust
showed that State agent had out
lawed eleven whole carcasses which
had been stored by supposed spec
ulator. Mr.. Foust ordered an in
quiry and found that other instances
were known where food had been
stored beyond the legal limit in that
section.
Commissioner Foust has given in
