Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin 8. Pm.
Ter In the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the inagi-
nation Of child Is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real to
child as fact.
1.-THE cure for lies inspired by imagi-
nation" he asserted, "ls the education
Of the child's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. As his error
Is mental. not normal, his cure must
be mental. It would be grave error
Of training to attempt to suppress his
Imagination as cure for his untruths.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
II should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.

the most progressive farmers In West
srn. Canada. They have had their
sups-and-downs." and know what It

vered, and are now In an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
Interesting one. Coming In from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river. through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen. but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money. with which they bought
more horses. and some provisions.
When they reached Battiefo.d they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river.
and this they had to borrow. II was
In 1905 that they fled on homesteads,
having to sell q shotgun for ten dol.
lars In order to get suficient money to
do %. Frank Lawrence says:
"since that time We have acquired
altogether . section and q half Of
land, In addition to renting another
three quarters Of Q section. II We
had to sell out now we could probably
realise about $4,000. and have made
oil this since We came here. We got
crops In this district Of from 80 to
- bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 70 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 1.700
sheep. 70 cattle and 90 horses. Of which
Q number are registered Clydes."
