WHEN DEATH IS PREFERABLE
Colombus Dispatch:

Colombus DispAtch:
A pathetic scene was witnessed at q
railroad station the other day when
a mother bade farewell to her son, as
he departed for a training camp. The
poor woman was almost overcome
with emotion. Her only boy was
turning his back upon the home. She
felt that she was telling him good-by
forever, and she SO stated to the man.
ly fellow who stood before her. "You
will never come back" she sighed.
"Oh, my boy; you will never come
back to me if you go to France!"
The young fellow took his mother in
his arms. He assured her that the
chances were he would return. "But,'
he said, "listen, mother: II die fight
ing in France, I shall be better of
than you will be here in this country
il Germany wins this war"
Mothers and fathers should read the
words of this brave boy. They should
have them impressed upon their minds
For not since the war started has any
man uttered greater philosophy. The
dead soldiers in France will be better
of than the living people of this
country if Germany wins! They will
at least be beyond the reach Of Prus-
sian military officer; they can nc
longer be kicked of the streets: they
will not have to stand with folded
arms and witness brute of an officer
outrage sister, strike a mother over
the head with sword, or zee baby
brother struck through with bayon-
ct. All these things have been wit
messed by the people of the countries
where the Germans rule. Aye, bet
ter dead hundred times, than to be
the slaves of the foulest military hier-
archy that has ever cursed the earth!
The writer of this has an only boy
in the war. He had rather see him
torn. to pieces by a shell upon the field
Of battle than to see a German army
officer enter his home.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
impossible to Learn Too Early the
Importance of Spending Ones
Money in Wise Manner.

Any fool is a good spender, but 1t
takes a wise man to save money.
That there are more fools than wise
men is proved by the fact that one
tenth of all the people who die in the
United States are buried in pauper's
graves.
With a population of 1O0,0OO.OO0
there are 100000 people in the Unit
ed States who would be hungry in ten
days after losing their jobs.
There are 100000 men with steady
jobs and little children dependent on
them who have not saved enough to
feed their own babies for two weeks.
There are 100000 "well-to-do'
men who could not pay their debts and
have enough left TO buy gallon OF
gasoline for the automobile they ride
in every day.
What is thrift? Industry earns,
economy manages, providence plans,
and frugality saves. Thrift embraces
all these.
Training in thrift should be part
of the curriculum of every school and
part of the training of every boy and
girl, every man and woman. Thrift
of mind, of time, and most or all OF
money, needs greater emphasis

Ideal Loan Shark.

Speaking of loan sharks wouldn't

pa is forced to borrow some of her
money with which to pay the gas bill,
she wants at least so cents interest on
each dollar, and besides she requires
a solemn oath that he will pay the
principal and interest Saturday, Claude
Callan writes in the Fort Worth Star
Telegram. When she finally agrees to
let him have the sum, she orders him
TO leave the room while she gets 1t.
She counts the money before she calls
him back into the room, but to be dou-
bIv sure she counts it again as she
hands it over to him, and she is lit

course. but she never makes the honest
mistake of getting a little too much.
Before placing it in his hand she mas

upon oath that he will return the mon

NOTHING GAINED BY RUSHING
Slow Practice in Learning Playing or
Singing viii Always Produce
the Best Results.

One can scarcely be too insistent on
the value of slow practice in playing
or singing. The student learns much
more quickly by slow practice than in
any other way, because the brain has
more time TO assimilate the impression
of the work done than If 1t Is gone over
rapidly.
It is a truism, that to learn fast the
student must go slow. Every teacher
of experience Is aware Of the fact, yet
many fail to impress the truth with
sufficient force on young people, and
the result is disappointment on both
sides.
1t is necessary to remind students
frequently of the Importance of slow
practice; they are forgetful, and 'get
through" their work rather than try to
understand it, because of matters more
exciting. But getting through quickly,
has the same result as getting rich
quickly, it often results in disaster.
If we desire to understand what we
read in literature, do we read it over
as quickly as possible? No, on the
contrary, each page has to be read
slowly, and repeated, before it is thor
oughly grasped and impressed on the
mind, and so 1t is with music. 1t is
we'll to remember the old axiom, "Slow
practice is golden, quick practice is
leaden."

How Town Was Named.

An interesting story is told as to the
origin of the name Moose Jaw" as ap-
piled to a town in Canada. Some 90
years ago, SO the story runs, a pioneer
with his team of oxen and prairie
schooner while passing along the
banks of Che river, was obliged TO
camp at this point in Saskatchewan
on account of an accident to his cart.
A spoke had fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart
He looked about for something to In
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busted herself
with the evening meal.
The pioneers child, while romping
around, found the jawbone of moose,
which she held up to her father, who
by this time almost despaired Of find
ing anything with which to repair his
cart. He was delighted to find that the
jawbone exactly fitted the place of the
missing spoke. The Indians thereafter
named this. district 1.-THE Place Where
the White Man Found the Moose Jaw
