a RE you teaching ycuc children
n to form good habits while they
Nothing is more important.
Good habits are a crutch to lean on;
a prop to weakness; a brace to the
wobbly; an understudy of all the
cardinal <irtues, and an ever-present
help in times of trouble.
It is a bromide to say that we
are all victims of our habits, but it is
one of the eternal truths whose i'm
portance we cannot overestimate.
For we don't often really reason out
our course of action in life. We
are mostly guided by our impulses,
and these are simply the sum of our
habits.
We are courteous, and polite, and
considerate to those about us, or we
are rude, and brusque, and oVerpear-
ing according to whether we ac-
quired the habits of good manners
ingly.
Inasmuch, then, as habit functions
automatically in us, and, to large
extent, takes the place of both in
telligence and conscience, how. vital
that children should have cultivated
in them this mysterious faculty that
will be good angel to them, guild
ing them into the right road, and
steering them away from the pit
For the habit of modesty has kept
more girls pure, the habit of self
control has kept more boys sober and
moral than all the ten command
ments.
The right habit is a guarantee of
success.

the secret of his achievements. 81

My father instilled that into me from
the cradle" he replied.
IF it was a game, I had to play it
out to the end. If I began a book
1 had to read it through. If I start
ed to a place I had to go to it,: No
dertoolz had to see it through. That
habit became So ingrained in me
that I can't break it. I have got to
and SO I hold on, and work on 1 after
other people get discouraged and
quit, and nine times out of ten just
that last final squirt of effort is the
one thing needed to carry me on
to the goal"
This mans tip is worth taking.
Try it on. your little Johnny the
next time he starts to build a block
house, and gets it half done, and
drops that for his marbles, and dis
cards them in two minutes for his
choo-choo train.
And what is laziness but a bad
habit? What is industry but a good
habit?
Teach your child to wohk while it
is young, fill in it's days with some
useful employment, and it will form
a habit of industry that is I'M
breakable, and makes idleness in
tolerable.
Any child that cannot have the
habit of industry fastened on it for
life by the time it is ten years old
has need of the nearest hook worm

directing direct it's " energies in the right
channel, and parents certainly nave
committed the objectionable SIN
against their sons and daughters>if
they fail to do this, and let them
grow UP to hate work instead of low
ing it.
Do you desire your children to be-
come rich and prosperous? If so,
you have only to cultivate the habit
of thrift in them while they are
young. Wasting money is a bad
habit just as saving is a good habit.
And the one means poverty, and the
other means riches Teach children
they will know enough not to throw
away their dollars.
Saving can be made just as inter
eSting to children as spending as
was proven during the war when
thousands of girls and boys put the
money they had been throwing away
on candy and soda water into thrift
stamps and so formed, let us hope,
habit of thrift that will make their
whole future happy and more pros
porous.
Teach children habits of accuracy,
to do whatever they do properly
The difference between highly paid
work and poorly paid work is the
difference in the quality of the work
The difference between the man with
the man with the one thousand dol
lar wage is the difference between
efficiency and inefficiency.
1t takes just as much labor to
cook a mean dinner as a good one.
The girl who spells every other
word wrong, and makes a failure of
her letters pounds the typewriter
just as many hours a day as the
private secretary does. So the peo-

that goes to the accuracy that can
be depended upon.
Doing things slap-dashed1y, hit
or-miss, any old way, is nothing but
bad habit, just as doing them prop
erly is a good habit. Cultivate in
and the love of turning out good
job for the jobs sake and you have
put the guide to success in their
hands.
For the whole world is on a still
hunt for efficient people whose work
can be relied upon-dressmaker
who can fit, stenographers who can
spell, carpenters whose work holds
together, doctors who don't guess
what ails you,, lawyers. whose adj
advice is sound. and when we find
them we pay them joyfully what
ever they ask, and sing their praise
in the market place.
Teach children habits of order and
prOnpIn6SS. I0dGA CIl6m the ndDlL
of self control Peach them the
habit of smiling instead of whining,
and you will have given them an
armor that will be proof against the
sings and arrows of outrageous
fortune, and that will enable them
to win out in the battle of life.
1t isn't enough to break children
of bad habits. You must fortify
them with good habits that they
will instincttvely. fall back upon in
the crisis of their fate.

An American traveller testifies to
the cleanliness of the Japanese. He
had made his way into a tea house
in a remote Japanese village and
was half famished. A geisha girl
ushered him into a spotless, airy
room and brought him a cup of
unsweetened tea.
AS he could speak no Japanese, he
tried to explain by signs that he
wanted full meal, but the girl,
though she smiled politely, failed to
understand. So the traveller thought
he would resort to another means.
He took out his note book and pen
Gil, drew a fish and an egg, and
handed the drawing to the geisha.
This time she laughed delightedly,
clapped her hands, and ran from the
room. The traveller was pleased. He
waited contentedly for his meal. Five
or ten minutes passed. Then the
door opened and two attendants stag
gered in with a portable bath, brim-
full of hot water, and a cake of
soap"

Three men are necessary to every

FREAK TRIPLE PLAY Is MADE
One Pulled Off Between TWO Teams
at ST. Mary's, Kan, Was Most
Peculiar Ever Seen.

Triple plays are hard to make in a
baseball game and they are of rare
occurrence during a playing season,
but one was pulled off in a game be-
tween ST. Mary's college of st. Mary's,
Kan, and the ChilicoccO Indians that
will go down in the annals of the ma
tiOnal pastime as one of the most pc
culiar plays ever staged on a ball field.
The side in the field did not touch the
ball after it left the hands of the
pitcher. A st. Mary's batter hit the
ball into the air toward short with the
bases loaded and was declared out as
it was an infeld fly. The wind car
ried the sphere toward second as it
descended and it hit the runner there,
who was called out for being hit by
batted ball. The ball next rolled to-
ward first and the runner, there, dis
gusted at the luck of his teammates,
picked up the leather and hurled it
out of the park. He was promptly
called out by the umpire.

HURST'S GIFT OF REPARTEE
Late Lamented Umpire Had a Little
Way All His Own of Settling
All Queries.

When Tim Hurst was in the land Of
the living and was umpiring he often
settled queries in a way all his own.
No umpire ever lived who had Tins
gift of humor or quick repartee.
Once he received a question that
read something like this: suppose
an imaginary wire stretches from the
batter's shoulder to the mound and
from the batter's knees to the same
place. Rules state that a ball delivered
between those places and across the
plate is a strike.
"Now, suppose a ball should be
thrown that, if it hit the wire, half of
the sphere would be above the wire
and half below, what would you call
it?"
Hurst wrote Over on the bottom
of the page, he always did that with
queries, and penned these laconic
words, II never call them as close as
that"

Here's an unusual theory concerning

He says:
"AleX looks better than in 1915, and
that's saying plenty. He has more
speed, his curves are breaking better,
and his physical condition is good.
But Alexis control is not as good as
it used to be. Instead of being han
dicap to him it really makes him more
effective. l know this sounds funny,

ship which was hOtly contested by the
Detroit Tigers. A few years later he
dropped to the minors, but built up
such an impressive record there that
he was recalled by the Pirates three
years ago. Today, he is the best
