MANNERS

The lack of pleasant manners,
which is really the lack of kind
ness, is due to bad example or
to the double standard of man
ners of the parents. Bad example
in the home Is more common
than is usually supposed; very.
few parents are courteous to-
their children every day; they
form habits Of speech which are
rough and abrupt. In many
homes the soft. courteous tones
are reserved for friends and visi-
tors. and the children are keen
eyed in detecting the double
standard of manners. "Hush!"
said my little friend to her broth
er as they came near the open
door Of their home, mamma has
company, that's her voice and
company words. One set Of man
ners for home people and one for
visitors is the most fertile cause
Of the child's imprudence: he
cannot explain it, but he feels
the injustice and rebels. Parents
who practice the double standard
are often embarrassed when chill
dren display to the outside world
the element that characterize the
more intimate family life. A little
six year old miss. said in the
presence of her mothers guests:
"Oh, shut your mouth. i am
ashamed of you,' said the moth
er, you are naughty to speak SO
before the ladies'" We'll, you
say that to me, and | can, if you
can," was the reply. You cannot
demand more of children than
you give, and it is impossible to
pull a wire and have them as.
sumo manners foreign to their
everyday life. The element hard.
est to combat in child life is the
lack Of proper home training. II
is time we are taking a searching
look at the way we are training
our children. Hope Hammond
says: I'm the hurry Of modern
life, parents are not living close
enough to their children. They
do not patiently bend their owr
llittle twigs in the ways they wish
them to grow; frequently they
are not even the best examples
for their little ones to emulate
and without acknowledging their
own faults, they leave their chill
dren's characters to be nodded
bv the teachers and the schools
Old-time courtliness and gracious
ness of manner have been disap
pearing before the brusque ways
of our modern life. Family ties
are dissolving, and it seems te
me, we are leaving behind US
the sweetest thing that this
old world has given us-fellow.

deepest sense, is a relation be.

all | could get out of him was a
handshake and $3.03 for a ticket
to Duluth. But | don't blame
him. the fault was all my own,

the time to chew the rag. with
him.

come. We need all the improve

about the county ditch? | am
very much interested in that,
and ANXIOUS to learn just where
it will be dug, because, you know,
maybe if it does come, it will cut
right across my Cherry Grove
and that would not be so CHEEKY
Talk about being busy, why
there is no end to it here. We dc
more business in a month thar

This month the tickets alone
run above 1000 dollars.
We are 8 men in the depot
which is open day and night
every day in the year. And
like the work, that is really the
best part Of it.
So, as far as the job goes ar
not sorry | came up here.
| But the surroundings are not
50 pleasant as in Askov, nor have
we as yet formed any acquain

is rather void. During these
