The young man and the girl Of his

WHAT CHILDREN READ

DEoPLE would not worry so much
about what they call the modern
child" If they only stopped To
think that fathers and mothers, IN
Giles and aunts, of every generation
had their doubts as TO the new genera
ton
In fact. Adam and Eve were, in all
probability, the only proud parents In
all history who never said, children
did not do such things when we were
young"
The very latest discovery that has
been made about the little boys and
girls of America is that their taste
In reading is quite different from that
OF their elders at the same age.
Ii appears that they are finding
rather dull some OF the things that
appealed to the youngsters of former
days, and are demanding more excite
ment than is good for them.
Ii is well, in thinking about such a
subject, always TO remember that Older
people have a weakness for consider
ing any such change in taste as for the
worse.
That is the compliment that matur-
ity pays to itself
The great trouble is that we don't
remember what we really cared for
when we were small
Many of the things that we were
supposed 20 enjoy we didn't really like
until we grew up. Others that were
forced on us for our good were spoiled
for us forever
Children have no sense OF subtlety,
or irony. This is natural.
They read Alice in Wonderland"
or "Gulliver's Travels" or THE Ara
bian Nights" for the straight story,
not for any secondary meaning that
is beyond them.
A clever American woman suggests
that the children, especially in a big
family, should be encouraged TO write
stories of wild adventure for each
other.
This is not so impossible or far
fetched as II seems.
\ good example came to light re-
Gently in the case of the children of
Theodore Roosevelt.

ERNESTINE.

TRNESIINE has an origin of lofty
= dignity. She is one of the Eagle"
names. Like many Of the fem
mime names connected with mythol-
Ogy, the eagle occupied position of
great respect and even alteration
among the ancients, and his name,
with various sufFixes and prehxeS. fur
nished many of the cognomens then in
vogue.
In Scotland the word for eagle was
"erne" and the name was found in all
countries where there were mountains,
the homeland of the king of birds.
Arnridur, or Arneidur, was the first
Of the eagle ladies. She was said TO
be the daughter of Asbiorn, of the
Hebrides. who was sold to an Ice
lander named Katell Thymr. This
lady had the good fortune to find a
quantity of silver sufficient for her
ransom beneath the roots of a tree, but
she decided TO remain the wife of
Thymr and goes down in history as
one of the famous women of Iceland.

Flivver King Turns Railroad Wizard

Henry Ford went on record as
the top-notch ignoramus of big
business. Lately, he also went on
record as the best little railroad
doctor in these United States.
In the six dull months of this
bluenosed year Ford yanked the
Detroit & Toledo Railroad out of
a yawning deficit and gave it a fly
ing start with 81 POI, ,25g surplus
and net operating income of S567,-
6IS. Where the road before hand
led 200 cars in "a hours, Ford
steamed up to I,2oo cars in ~
hours. Besides. he ordered the
operating officials out of their pri-
vate cars and made them take reg
ular service or walk. And on top
OF all these innovation he manage d
to reduce the train schedule fully
two hours!
Did the Flivver King do these
things by reducing wages and lay
ing off men' He did not. Clumsy,
oldfashioned subterfuge of this
stripe only appeals TO "regular"
railroad men.
Did he accept the wage scale of
the labor unions? He did not. He
did better than that. He raised
his wages over the union scale,
and not only disposed of all labor
troubles and chickering's by this

The Seasons.

Often we meet people who say
they don't like summer, others
who don't like winter, occasionally
some one who don't like autumn,
and once in awhile some one doeSn I
| like spring. Seldom will anyone
[ admit-or boast-that he likes all
the seasons equally. And yet if a
man were to keep a record OF the
days in the year that simply from
the point OF view OF weather and
physical comfort he enjoyed, there
would probably be no season that
would establish a decisive claim to
his favor. And if there was such,
it would almost certainly not be
spring.
People are generally governed
by their likes or dislikes of the
seasons by the extremes rather
than by the average of weather
displayed. Persons of cheerful
and optimistic spirit are likely to
remember a season by its shining
days rather than by the stormy
onces; and persons are easily affect
ed bv adverse circumstances take
their strongest impressions of a
season from those days when it is
at its worst. By that reasoning it
might appear that such persons all
seasons are equally bad. and that
to others all are equally good.
But impressions are relative; and
anyone who shudders and shivers
in cold weather is pretty sure 10
prefer summer, however, hot it may
be, and one really suffers from heat
is likely to think that winter is the
best time of the year.
The law of compensation that
Emerson preached applies in our
attitude toward the seasons. If we
did not have foggy and windy and
rainy days, we should not appreci-
ate nearly so much as we do the
sunshine and blue sky and soft
breezes. If we never looked out
into utter blackness of night, with
blasts of wind and snow beating
against the panes, we should not
look up at the moon and stars and
silent spaces of the heavens with
quite the same love OF their beauty.
Even the most wonderful things in
nature might grow stale in our
eyes II there were no contrast in
the circumstances of their appear
