The Handy Man.

There is an almost universal opinion
that every girl should be brought up to
be capable in the domestic arts, to be,
in short, good housekeeper; but it is
generally deemed of less Importance
that every boy should be brought UP
to be handy man about the house.
Even among the families of those who
lay most stress upon the value of edu-
cation there are many who do not re-
gard incapacity to "ix things" as
serious matter. If boy stands well
in his classes at school, his parents are
likely to excuse a certain incompe-
tence on his part in dealing with Jobs
that require some practical knowledge
and manual dexterity. They may even
feel that it is the natural attribute of
one who is destined to large intel
lectual achievement 1t is a foolish
notion, OF course, but many people are
foolish about their children.
Just as virtually every girl learns
to sew and knit and cook, so every
boy ought to learn to do simple jobs in
painting and carpentry work, to II md
broken windows, to thaw frozen pipes
and put in new washers where faucets
are dripping, and to repair electric
bells that are out OF order-to say
nothing of managing the furnace" and
knowing how to start fire in the
kitchen stove. In short, the boy should
qualify himself to become a house
holder just as his sister qualities her
self to become a housekeeper.

Hidden Dangers.

One winter evening I met a friend
near the drug store. Near where we
stood telephone pole sent I lone
snadow across the sidewalk. A. We
talked, a man who was PASSING ne
stumbled and almost fell. He was
scarcely out of sight when a woman
with a basket stumbled al the same
place. Other passers-by stumbled
mere TOO So many, indeed. that finally
We stopped to examine the sidewalk
we found that the workmen repair-
ing the walk had lifted some of N,
bricks and put them back carelessly
One brick, hidden in the shadow of hc
role, stool three quarters of an inc,
ABOVE the others. We pushed il down
level with the rest
AS | walked home thought of the
people who had stumbled over II,
brick. The sidewalk had looked
smooth and safe enough to them. =
the treacherous brick was there, con-
cealed in the shadow. How many hi
Den dangers, | reflected, there are IN
life! We need to be constantly on or
guard, especially when the way seems
smooth. In politics. in business. il
our relations with our friends and our
families, even in the work we under
take to do for God, there are hidden
unsuSpected temptations stumbling
blocks in our path.
The worst stumbling block of all is
the weakness Of our own character
you are trustworthy, not for what Won
achieved in moments of strength and
exultation, but for what you prove IN
DC IN the moment of sudden, strong
temptation directed at your weakest
point A chain is no stronger than its
weakest link.
The character of no man is without
weaknesses. Those weaknesses are
the shadows that stretch across our
way, and in them hide our dangerous
temptations. Watch the shadows then
Erect and safe you may walk the stree,
from end to end and stumble at last on
the. treacherous brick in the shadows
of your own door.

Will Have Nursery at Church.

In order to relieve mothers of
younger children of some of the care
of their children and make it possible
for them to attend the Sunday morn
ing church services at Christ Reform
ed Church in Martinsburg the Young
Woman's Missionary Auxiliary of the
church began on Sunday plan where
by the parents with children who are
not old enough to stay through the ser
vice without restlessness may bring
the children to the beginners room
in the chapel and leave them there
for the period of the service in charge
Of members of the Auxiliary, and then
call for them after the service. The
children will be entertained with
games or readings adapted to their age,
and will always be under the care
Of responsible and mature guardians.
The innovation, which is the first ap-
plication in Martinsburg of an idea
which has been employed in other
communities, is designed specifically
to solve the problem of those parents
who feel that they must stay at home
with their younger children on Sun
day mornings

A Habit Forming Animal.

After lS, says the late Prof. Vim.

or dress, table manners, habit of
speech, gestures and postures are
nearly always fastened on for good and

for most people, the tissues of the
body and brain begin to harden. The
paths Of nervous discharge along the

Youth is the Golden Age for i'm
planting Lies best habits. Habits
are both good and bad, useful and
harmful. 1t is the business of So

TO il that the profitable habits are
started during the Golden Age, and
that the Improbable ones are not al

and yield to persistent impressions
from 10 to 20. Before ten, in most
children the personality submit
more to control of superior personal
tiles as parents and teachers. Be-
tween 10 and 20, the dangerous,
swiftly changing adolescent period, the
youth assumes new dignities and new
emotions.
If there are any good habits that
should be fixed for life let all the
forces of human socity concentrate on
their formation during early youth.
1t is not sufficient to drive out bad ha-
bits; good ones must be implanted in
their rlace.
Favorable habits are: regular bath
ing, personal neatness, evenings at

NEGRO TALLY TRIED
FOR SHOOTING
Shot Frank Merritt on Night of Nov.
eIaber l3, Fined $1,000 and
Bound Over to Grand Jury

The negro, James Tally, who on
the night of Sunday, November 18th
shot another negro, Frank Mer-
ritt, three times was tried before
Mayor DOty Tuesday afternoon and
was fined $4,000 on the charge of
carrying pistol and was bound over
to await the action of the grand
jury on the charge of shooting with
intent to kill. His bond was fixed
at $500. and, failing to make same.
he was carried TO Jail. The grand
jury meets in January.
1t viii be recalled that the shoot
ing was the result of a difficulty over
the affections Of a daughter of Ham.
Eloise Anderson by name. The tes-
timony at the trial developed the
fact that Tally chad a date" that ev-
ening with Eloise for dinner" at
a cafe and that Merritt succeeded in
taking the date from Tally after thew
had eaten. Tally then met the couple
at the corner of First and Line
Streets and opened fire. Merritt was
wounded three times and it was
thought at first that he might die.
However, he is rapidly recovering and
was present at the trial Tuesday.

THOMAS AT WASHING
TON CITY CONFERENCE
Grenada Citizen Called to Washing
ton to Confer With War Finance
Corporation.

Grenada has had many distinctions
to come to her through her public
men as well as THROUGH the heroism
and valOr OF her soldiers during the
stress Of war, but there is none that
has gone so directly to the very core
OF affairs that touch the lives of al
most every class of citizenship as the
calling OF MIR. j. I. Thomas, president
OF the Grenada Bank, to Washington
City by the War Finance Corporation
Tor conference on matters touching
the material and business welfare OF
Mississippi and the South on Novem-
Der goth. There is perhaps no bank
er IN the South who is in better touch
with the real conditions that con-
front this section than Mr.. J. T.
Thomas. Mr.. Thomas has shown
keen interest in the welfare and de-
velopment of Mississippi for years
and was prepared to carry a practi-
cal message to the Washington au-
thorlties and to lay before that body
of tinanciers the real needs of this
section. If something really practi-
cal grows out of the Washington con-
terence for Mississippi, much of the
credit vii lbe due to Mr.. Thomas.
1t Will be recalled that the War
Finance Corporation was creature
OF the Wilson administration created
to help tide over conditions follow
ing the war. 1t was suspended few
months before President Wilson re-
tired from office, but soon after the
Harding administration came into
power, it asked to have it revived,
and it has been financing many big
projects, which, according to the
Judgment of many, has had much to
10 with steadying the finances of the
COUNTRY and of helping the business
eel its way back towards the day
light of soberness and sanity.
Mr. Thomas was accompanied by
few other Mississippi gentlemen to

THE DEATH OF AN

Mrs. O'Bryant was 50 years of age
and was reared within a few miles of

a daughter of Mr.. Ephriam Robin

with the Methodist church and had
endeavored to live the life of one who
realizes the goodness of God and hu-
