Life on the front had its whimscali-

tells of beautiful red rose on his

State Tribune, beside an Austrian
shell with bit of scenery painted on
It. which served as a paper-weight.
Then there are incidents that excite
the "risibles" and afford needed d.

Home can be made Paradise or
it can be made a hell. 1t all de-
ponds upon the conduct of those
who dwell there. It's God-given
purpose is to nurture the ideals Of
the young and point the way to-
ward higher and better things. 1t
should not be made the epitome of
ultra sentimentalism any more
than it should be made the abiding
place of hatred. 1t is "a place of
all places for the soberness of
thought and the communion of
hearts which is necessary for the
admonition of the young. We can
make it attractive or repugnant
1t is an exception when we see a
child anxious to get away from
home that is home in the true sense
of the word. 1t the natural bless
ings of peace, content and helpful
ness are permitted to reign, home
will bind the hearts of all the house
hold with an invisible yet indisso-
luble chain. But il malice, sus-
picion and jealousy creep In as
green-eyed monsters to barter with
their eternal trio, home will lose
its charm and the fettered spirits
will long for greater freedom else
where in the wide world.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1919-07-23

Kindness is the MIX of Paradise
and Love is the honeydew of life.
The poet says, And thou on honey
dew hast fed and drunk the milk
of Paradise" All of us can taste
the honeyed morsel and sip the
fabulous cup of Kubla Kahn, more
rare than the Falernian wines and
more sweet than the vintage of
Burgundy. II we but will It. The
power of kindness and the reaches
Of human love cannot be measured.
They are as illimitable as the uni
verse, as expansive as the curtain
ed dome of heaven. Yet the lowli-
est can learn them and through
them, soar upward to the highest
star.
Home is the most sacred place
on earth. No creature liveth,
great or small, but loves and longs
for home. A dog with his kennel
destroyed, a bird with her nest
torn down, a man in the afterglow
of life set adrift on the varying
tides of fortune, are each alike
pathetic. The instructive cravings
Of the human heart are most of all !
In the haven whence
we fly when the storm-clouds gath
er and the night, somber and dark,
comes down. The homeless being
Is the greatest misfit in the world.
Like the wandering Jew, he lie
without a welcoming light to book.
On lin on through the night All
life is artificial to him. 1t is a
natter of dollars and cents and NOT
If tenderness and kindness. He
Knows no place where he is cared
or because of his sake alone; it all
depends on his money. God pity
he homeless man!
