Like everything else worth while.
table-talk is not learned in a week. nor
in a year There is no better place than
the family table for the daily practice Of
this most effective social accomplish
ment.
Children should be encouraged to
speak of the interesting events Of the
day at school. or on the way between
homo and school. The parents and the
older brothers and sisters may relate
amusing anecdotes from their reading or
from, tho interchange OF talk with ac-
uuaintances during the day. In a house
where table-talk is something brighter
and better than complaints or gossip.
the family Is happier In health and in
spirits. and the young people become
prof,clant in n social art more generally
annreciated than any other branch of
mus,c-for surely the human voice ra-

No matter how remote fulhllment seems
1t matters not the drought or storm

Small hope Of promise for the harves

Have we the faith amid the parchins

To glimpse the small. green blades up

And smile secure through driving wind,
In simple trust. too deep of root to fail,
Then believe that somehow, soon 0,

There comes reward to dreamer.soul,

There dawn his golden fields Of bendlnr

OIL CHAMBER KEEPS
HAMMER HANDLE FIT

A good hammer handle Is highly
priced by good workman, and
various methods have been used to
keep the handle In proper condi-
tion. says Motor. One Of the best
consists OF drilling one-quarter-
inch hole In the handle and filling
II with oil. The hole should be plug
ged and the plug fastened with a
screw or wood pin. The depth OF
tho hole depends upon the shape OF
the handle, but II should not be
drilled far enough into the small
part to weaken II. The oil tends
to keep the handle from splitting
and gives II more or less flexibil-
ity.
