Patience.

The best things usually require the
most patience for their development.
A tent may be put up in an hour, but
q strong and stately building calls for
long and careful work. We have
need of patience not only with others,
but also with ourselves in the build
ing Of character into what we would
have it.

Study in Strenuth,

The muscles have their periods Of
development and decline. The lifting
power of a youth of seventeen is $50
pounds; in his twentieth year this
increases to 800 pounds, and in the
;hirtieth year it reaches 365 pounds.
BY the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds; at fifty the figure is
$50 pounds.

Fixing the Allowance.

tant item to which children frequently
pay little heed"
The allowance should provide
little margin to encourage careful buy
ing and saving possibilities. 1t should
not necessitate so much care or
thought as to burden the growing
yOungster. 1t should never, under nor
NAL circumstances, be "helped out"
by irregular gifts or expected to cover
other than the recognized items. The
allowance, with It's purchasing respOn-
sibilities, should be increased gradu-
ally, steadily. BY the time high school
Is reached the boy or girl should be

CANINE HEROES HAD TO DIE
Dire Necessity Forced the Monks OF
st. Bernard to Put Their Dogs
to Death.

All but six Of the famous st. Ber-
nard dogs kept by the monks Of that
ancient monastery in the Alps have
been killed. Shortage of meat caused
by the war led to this massacre.
The st. Bernard pass Is Of histori-
cal renown. 1t connects the valleys Of
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. 1t
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands of years ago. In medieval times
the pass served the armies Of conquer
ors and the bands of mercenaries. Ma
poleOn crossed the Alps at this point
In 1900.
The great monastery was built In
the middle Of the sixteenth century. It
was maintained for the relief of trav-
elers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
st. Bernard dogs were used to find the
frozen victims Of enc storms in the
snewdrifts. They were specially train
ed for this work of relief and carried
the first aid to the injured in little
basket attached to their collars. These
dogs rescued thousands of human be-
ings, many of whom were Of historical
prominence. And for the first time In
the history of this famous monastery
the dogs had to be slaughtered for want
of food. At other times report of this
sort would create profound interest in
Paris, but at present the human race
is thinking Of its own necessities and
cares less about dog heroes living more
than 800 feet above the surface of
the sea.

Now, though John Brand could not
realize in his experience of the big
things of life, how very real to Polly
was her disappointment in this in
stance, he did realize the unself1sh-

"Oh! I would not think of adding

Around the Westerner's heart crept
a comforting glow. 1t was as though
after long search he had come upon

who listened with Difference.

ALLOWANCE TO CHILD
is ROAD To ECONOMY
Home Economics Expert Says
Way Is to Teach Youth Early
Proper Apportioning
OF an Income.

"The best and most natural way OF
beginning true national economy, wise
spending and wise saving" says
Ruth Wardell, head of the home Geo.
Monies department of the University
OF Iowa, and who last summer started
a home economics department in
Cleveland (OhiO) bank, sis by giving
the children an allowance. The lesson
of properly apportioning an income
thus is early learned"
Miss Wardell favors the allowance
arrangement at very early age, say
at six or seven. 1t may then be very
small, and out of it the budding citi-
zen may be expected to provide only
school pencils, tablets, etc. The pur-
chase of school books provides log
ical next step; little later some per-
sonal belongings, such as shoes, may
be added.

Justice Rosenberg

1t seems that Justice NJ. B. Rosen-
berry has had rough road to travel
to get on the ten-year term. He was
appointed to the supreme bench to
succeed the late John Barnes in Feb,
1916. In the spring election of 1917,
there was an election to fill out the
unexpired term, and in the contest he
defeated Charles H. Crownha art, of
Superior by an overwhelming major
ity. His term expires on the first Mon
day of January, 1920, and this spring,
Justice Rosenberg finds it necessary
TO again enter the contest, but this
time, if elected and all here hope he
will be-he will hold the position for
ten years. During the two years in
which Justice Rosenberg has been q
member of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin, he has demonstrated that he
is eminently qualified for the very high
position. After service of one year
on the supreme bench, his record as
an able jurist had become so well
known that he easily defeated his
opponent, who was a man of statewide
reputation. In this election he has the
advantage of longer service and of
being better known in the state. He
deserves another overwhelming en-
dorsement at the hands of the people
this spring.

The child's allowance, it may be
added, should be for necessities mainly,
with but fair and modest margin for
personal luxuries and pleasures. 1t
should always be recognized as allow
ing for regular proportion of saw
ings, preferably invested in govern
mental securities. 1t should be care
fully adjusted, rigidly adhered to on
both sides of the bargain. Such re-
spect and observance not only will
teach the child good economic habits,
but will abolish many too frequent an
noyances for the financial head of the
family.
Each child given an allowance will
understand that this sum, with his
support and other parental provisions,
represents his fair share of the fam
zen, he must not ask nor expect to ex-
coed it. An adequate allowance sys-
tenn, moreover, will obviate the evil
habit of crying or pleading for special
