from Thomas l.. Church. mayor of
Toronto, to Mayor Hylan.

the Niagara river to Tonawanda,
through the Barge canal to Troy and

The trip took him twenty days,

but she won out in the end. Chill
dren, even though they are very
young, get an idea that step
mother is an ogre (and some of
them are), but at the same time
children are much to blame. They
are led to think all sorts of
things by what others tell them.
Consequently the stepmother has

might be able to to rule the girl

for every little thing she does
wrong-that is not any way to
raise children. Scolding is SIM

wash the dishes right, stay there
with her if she has to do them
five or six times until she sees it
is useless to do any way but the
right way. Besides, do not put
SO much work on her. Give her
certain duties to- perform, and
when she has done them to your
satisfaction, let her have some
time to play. Do not always be
calling her to do task, but map
out certain things and see that
she does them well. You will
have a hard time, but you can
gain their love if you will try.

school teacher, died in her band box
apartment at 1915 Amsterdam ave-
nue.. Miss Bemis was forty-five years
old and she had been teaching in the
New York public schools for many
years. She died of gas asphyxiation
and the police theory is that she
committed suicide, arrived at be
cause it is very unlikely that four
gas jets on a cooking stove and
fifth on a lighting fixture could have
been opened simultaneously, by acct

For twenty-four years Miss Bemis
had lived only for other folks chill
dren. Her tender love for her classes
did not halt when the clock marked
the dismissal hour. She took them
for little trolley trips into the coun-
try and collected flowers and butter
flies with them.
A year ago Miss Bemis resigned.
She had been troubled with increas-
ing deafness, which made it difficult
for her to teach. Doctors told her it
might be cured, if she would rest
for a long time. SO she retired from
the classroom and took to visiting
doctors and trying cures; but she
did not let go of her children. They
visited her every week, droves Of

SWitchman a Suicide,
Worried Over Wreck

HARTFORD, Conn.-Peter CASTOR
quay, railroad switchman who was
in an accident in the yards of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad here, committed suicide re-
Gently.
Inquiry made by the, coroner's Of
flee indicated that the man had wor-
that an effort was being made to fix
the responsibility upon him At the
0ffiee of Division Superintendent
Mitchell it was stated that CASTOR
quay did not return to work after
the wreck, and nothing was heard
of him until word of his death was
received.
The wreck cost the life of Engin-
eer Ralph Gray, of Springfield,
Mass, and injured several others.
Joab treacherously slew him to
avenge his brothers. death. David
was the chief mourner at his funeral
and thus again by his treatment of
a former foe won the hearts of those
who had opposed him.
Finally the other tribes were con-
WINGED that David was no foe, but
their friend, and the Amounted of
Jehovah to be their king. So they
gathered at Hebron to annoint him,
First, that he was bone of their bone
he had always been that, but they
had to be convinced that he was not
against them; second, that he it was
who had led them out to victory
against the Philistines-and surely
they needed such a leader now; third,
that he was the Amounted of the
Lord-why didn't they think of this
seven and a half years before? That
one reason was enough, regardless of
the others, and should have been put
first. They tackled it on like some
people do their religion, while it
should have been their supreme and
prime and sufficient reason.
But they Amounted David king
over all Israel, and thus David real
lied Gods plan for him by waiting
on God.
David has a message for each of
us today, as a result of his life up
to this point. If any one thing was
characteristic of him, it was his mis-
trust in himself, and his trust in
God. He made mistakes when he for
got it; he did exploits as long Is he
realized it. SO then heed the words
of his wise son when he said Trust
in Jehovah with all thine heart; and
lean not upon thine own understand
ing. In all thy ways acknowledge
Him, and He shall direct thy paths"
