NNDERGARDEN HELPS
FOR THE PARENTS

It is NO wonder that during infancy
and early childhood life's lessons are
so difficult for the small beginner
when the laws which govern them
must seem to him Just or unjust, con-
sistent or inconsistent, according ia
the knowledge or the caprice of the
adult administering them.
One of the first lessons which the
little child should learn is the proper
care of his own possessions and re.
spect for those Of others, and a moth.
er has the first opportunity to incu.
late this important life lesson.
Since one of the strongest instincts
of the child is to initiate, there seems
no more logical way to teach this les.
son than by example. If a mother
teaches her child not to touch the ar.
ticles on her desk or dressing table
without her permission, then has she
the right to dispose of his toys with.
out his permission?
The writer recalls an instance where
a mother secretly put away a dol
which had been given to her little
girl, and, for no reason except that
the :hlld alreadv had a number Of
dolls AMI this particular one was "tot
beautifully dressed to be played witt
until :th" child was older"
Another common way of disregard
ing chilaren's rights is to force then
TO give up some new or m~uch-prizet
possession. For .amn1o q 1if%1. -,
of six, who was delighted with tht
gift of a dolls fan, was obliged b,
her mother to hand it to her scream
ing haby in order to quiet him. Ii
his excitement h. 500 crushed thu
tiny toy, his screams increased. ant
his little sister was broken-hearted,
Nor had the unjust and short-siehtet
mother saved" the scene" which the
had hoped to avert.
In each of these cases the chile
should have been consulted and he

Sheriff Merritt's Legacy to Shelter Indi-
gent Travellers -"Pi p" the War Hero

Sheriff Fred, as everybody through
out the length. breadth, dinClcs and
dolls OF Wcstchester called him, was
stepped in Dickens lore As Il true
disciple Of the Master Writer he had
the good nature OF Mr.. Pickwick, the
jollity OF Mark Tapley and the tender
ness of Tom Pinch. He lived n Dick
ensesque existence, quoted Dickens
constantly. and his friends declare that
had custom permitted he would havo
dressed like one of the Chceryblo
brothers, for those were his favorite
characters. One of his hobbies was 70
pick Dickens characters from among
tie tradcsmcn. Ills chief complaint
was that he could find no law stationer
to fit Snagsbys niche and LAY down
another half crown"
But perhaps It IS just as we'll" he
often remarked. "for II boy was TO
die here as little Joe died, we'll. I
wouldn't stand that sort OF thing,
that's ALL"
OF course the big blacksmith who
hammered and clinked at his forge on
the outskirts of the town was 40

to the Sheriff that the maker of horse

annoyanceS of official cares.
But like the Pip" for whom no WIS

Great Expectations which many
townspeople predicted for him. He at

rust corrupt.
When war was declared the lad had
lust passed that great event-the frs

deeply worried. his parents distraught
while tho whole town felt uneasy.
Then came the news that dreamy eyed
Pip had told a white lie (Which isn't
lie at all, but the noblest words that
can pass the lips OF any one) and had
boosted his age bit to join tho army.

weary days OF waiting. First 1t was

for the dread roll which cast its

arated from the mainland by n fairly
deep channel as is shown by tho pres
encc everywhere OF ice cakes which
must draw at least twelve or fifteen
feet of water.
This L. but one OF the many in
stances of which I am aware that
show the excellence OF the work OF
John Rae, q man exact and truthful
and in his methods OF travel a genera
ton ahead of his time. for while his
countrymen were still using tho lin
many ways absurd) methods of travel
which handicapped them 80 greatly
and led to so much needless suffering
and to so many deplorable tragedies,
he had put into effect the only sound
principle OF the travellcr-that Of
doing in Rome as the Romans do,
which in tho Arctic means using
methods OF travel which the forces OF
evolution have taught to the jewellers
OF Icy lands. instead OF methods which
men, some of them ingenious and
energetic, have evolve! from their
Inner consciousness and from the
limited experience Of half a dozen
years.
1t is a striking thing that John Fac
wintered in Repulse Bay using only
the food and fuel which nature has
provided at Repulse Bay. and that he
did this within n decade OF the time
when Sir John Franklin's entire conf
pany of able bodied Englishmen,
equipped quite as well as Rae's party,
starved helplessly and died to the last
man in a country as we'll supplied with
food and fuel as was that where Rao
spent his winter in comfort
That the country where Franklln's
men starved Is sufficiently provided
with means OF subsistence is shown by
the fact that 1t was peopled by Eskimo
both before and after that great trag-
edy. At tho very time when these
Englishmen were dying OF hunger
there were living all about them
Eskimo families who were taking care
OF their aged and bringing up their
children in comparative plenty, I'm
aided by the rifles and other excellent
implements which the Establishment had
In abundance.
When We parted with Or. Anderson
and Capt. Bernard 1 had told them Il
was our intention to proceed to Banks
Island and spend tho summer there.
1t was arranged that tho Teddy Bear
would come along whenever the leo

the neighborhood Of Nelson Head, but

lie delighted in routing distress in odd,
mysterious ways and many who wero
benefited never knew the kind hand
that had helped them.
Toward the latter end OF his life he
contided to special friends his project
for building the refuge for "indlgcut
transien;s." That was what he always
called poverty stricken. lonely down
and outs. IT was his way o' sparing
their feelings and what lingering pride
was left
There Is $1,000 set aside specially for
the building uf the shelter, but it is un-
derstood that further arrangements
have been made for maIptenance. A
number of Westchester citizens have
become interested and have volun-
teered that in case funds fail to pro-
vide free lodgings and entertainment"
they will sec that the cupboard never

"tho next morning. The plan is be-
Ing considered. Another wishes TO
sponsor an endless supply Of stout
stockings. a third is willing TO Issue
orders for the selling and hceling of
boots and shoes.
These and many similar pledges of
assistance were sources of great JOY to
tho Sheriff as he neared the final goal.
And he took great pleasure In telling
his crouies so.
TT all goes tn prove what Dickens
sought 10 teach -- there Is far moro

feebly totted down the parting instruc-

Mr.. Goslington on Excess Talk

ttT 7 Is my opinion said Mr.. Cos
lington, that beggars talk
too much. For instance. this
morning I met man who asked me
for a nickel with which to buy cup
of coffee. AS I was reaching for the
nickel he kept right ON talking, telling
me among other things that he hadn't
had anything 10 eat for three days,
which knew Of course was false, and
which detraCtcd verys much from my
pleasure In giving.
81 am an easy mark. Perhaps as
grow older shall grow harder, but as
! feel about II now would rather give
to n dozen frauds than take "A chance
Of missing one man who was hungry.
Still, don't like the fraud to DO too
obvious; and am sure there must be
many prospective givers who. when
the beggar keeps on with that surplus
talk, rescind their original determine
ton to give and keep their money in
their pocket. Surely yuu would think
the beEgar would learn wisdom and
talk less wouldn't YOU?
But the begga is not the only man.
How often do we hear II said OF some
Banquet speaker that he Is good
talker but he tllks too much! This
may seem harsh way OF putting 1t,
