THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHAT is ITS WORTH?

1t is trite saying that one does
not get something for nothing in this
life, at least not often. When this
does happen the thing one gets has
rather a doubtful value. The worth
of most of our possessions is reckoned
by their cost The money we earn al
ways has a Significance different from
that of the money given to us out
right The person who inherits "a
large sum of money nearly always
spends it more foolishly and reckless
ly than the person who, by slow and
careful effort, gathered together the
money left to the one who spends
lit foolishly. | dare say that every one
of you have heard it said of some one
who was working hard and saving
money carefully for his children:
His children will make that money
fly when they get it.
Not long ago a girl ! know received
a gift of twenty-five dollars. When
asked what she meant to do with the
money she said:
ooh, am going to spend it freely.
It has come so easy that | feel that
can spend it more freely than if | had
to earn it,
Many young people take just that
attitude toward money they have not
earned. Everything that comes to
them that they have not earned has
less value that the things they have
to work for. That is as true of ones
pleasure as it is of ones money. Many
a poor working girl having but two
weeks vacation a year gets far more
pleasure out of those two weeks than
some girls get out of an entire sum-
mer vacation that has cost them moth
ing. They get more out of the mem
DRY of the vacation when it has come
to an end. They Tive it over" in their
memories when they go back to the
store or the factory or the Office.

THE LOVE MiTTENs.

Aunt Josephine is coming! Good!
Good" exclaimed Mary and Harold
when the postman brought the letter
"She always tells us lovely stories
out of her mouth" said Harold. Be
sides, Aunt Josephine lived in the
country, with the COWS and the hens
and the sheep, and her stories were
truly stories
The children could hardly wait un
til the time for Aunt Josephine S
train, and when she arrived at last
how eagerly they watched her while
she unpacked her trunk!
To Mary she brought a pair OF
warm brown mittens that she had
made herself. As she handed them
to Mary she said, with every
stitch auntie knitted in thoughts OF
love, and wondered where Mary would
wear these mittens, and thought how
carefully she would keep and treas
ure them
To Harold she gave beautiful reins
for his play horse. When | was
knitting Them she said, Il gathered
the colors of the rainbow red, or
ange, yellow, green, blue, indigo ond
violet-so that the boys might be re.
minded of the beautiful colors that
the sunshine has given us to enjoy
The next morning was cold and
crisp. Mary begged to wear her new
mittens to school. Mother told her
that she could wear them, but that
she must be most careful not to lose
them Mary meant to be careful, of
course, but she was so eager to get
home and see Aunt Josephine that
in some way she lost one of the nit
tens on the way. She came in cry
ing as if her heart would break. She
was surely like the naughty kitten
who lost her mitten and could not
have any pie. What II Aunt lose

The Public Schools.

Unfortunately, the reorganization of
the Public School System proceeded
along wholly irreligious lines. Not
content with merely ignoring religious
instruction, the pedagogic organiza-
ton grew into violent socialistic
i-Catholic body, which increased
with the number of schools estab.
lished. An idea may be had of the
possibilities in this direction by the
number of primary schools existing
during the rule of Diaz, which totaled
nearly twelve thousand. The several
professional schools established dur
ing his rule served also as active cen
tiers of atheistic and socialistic propa
ganda not officially, but by the person
al efforts of many of the teachers. Ir
this manner was Mexico inoculatet
with virus that now finds her sicl

Porfirio Diaz.
In 1876 Porfirio Diaz came into
power, served four years and retired
before the election of the unsavoury
Gonzalez. Diaz was again elected
in 1884 and served until 1910. The
marvellous material advancement of
Mexico under his rule is sufficient
eulogy. Opportunity for employment
increased to point that repeated
plans were advanced for the sys-
tematic importation of foreign work
ers. There was great scarcity of Ia
borers in Mexico. Wages increased
from dollar a week to dollar a
day and more, while the price of corn,
the great food staple, remained about
the same. A marked improvement
was observed in the appearance of the
people, because they became better
fed and better clothed. The public
debt was placed on a sound basis and
real credit established something
independent Mexico had not known
before and she has not known since.
And when Porfirio Diaz babe goodbye
to Mexico he left over eighty million
pesos in the treasury, phenomenon
altogether unique, in Latin-American
political history

Ground for cabbage planting is
