CHILD TRAINING
Blessed Are the TactfuI
Bv iMrs. Lydia Lion Rohertl

By Mrs. Lydia Lion Roberts
 Two boys went up to a house and sat down on the steps, shuffling their muddy feet and dragging heavy cart back and forth on the path. It was not their house nor even their own neighborhood, yet they had taken noisy possession. Present. ly man opened the door, watched them quietly a moment and then said pleasant ly, How do you do? Won't you come in ?''
 The boys looked up in abashed sur prise, sheepishly got up and hurried away without 3 word. The man smiled and closed the door.
 The man could have shouted, scolded, threatened or abused the trespassers with doubtless unpleasant results before the boys went away. Because he was pleas ant and tactful the annoyance ceased at once and the incident was closed We admire diplomacy; we sigh when we meet untactful persons who rub up the wrong way. A person may be good and yet lack soothing balm of tactfu1.. ness. We realize this between older peo-. pie but I wonder why we do not prac. tice 1t more with children? Too often we are careless and blunt, hurting sensitive little feelings and often making 1t twice as hard for children to be good and kind because we are so untactful.
 On pretty suburban street there were ten boys who played together, and prob lerns of property rights often came up. Every time a mother approached the boys in friendly, reasonable spirit, the boys responded and there was no trouble. One day a mother looked out of the window to see two boys fighting furiously over her smooth back lawn, while an admiring crowd of playmates gathered near. She l thought minute and then went out and 1 stepped up to the antagonists, and said good naturedly, q don't like to have my pretty lawn torn up. so would you boys

Great Mems Love Letters
Rousseau to Lady ceciIs Hobart.

Jean Jacques Rousseau's last love forms one of the most fonant.c episodes in his life, concerning which nothing Was known until a few years ago. when the French historian, R. Chantelauze, dis covered in a bookstall, the manuscript of a letter by Rousseau, written to Lady Ceeile Hobart and dated ITO, when Rousseau was nearly sixty years of age.
 Rousseau appears to have met this lady in England at the time he was writ ing his confessions. She hal drs@ won his affection by her admiration of his works and in the course of i,is long and hyper-sentimental letter ne renarl.s.>
 Why is t that I have never felt any other true love but that for the pre- duets of my own fancy? Wherein lies the reason, Cecile? In these fancied beings themselves they made me dissatisfied with everything else. For forty years have carried in my mind the image 1 adore I love her with a constarcy, an ecstacy inexpressible. I had no hope Of ever meeting her had given up the eager search for her, when you appeared before
 me It was folly, infatuatioa. if you like, that made me surrender for mos ment to your sight; but I could not but say to myself, There she is No other woman ever inspired that thought in me. And stranger still is it that could hear you speak without changing my opinion. what the ideal of my heart thought you spoke 1t to my ears"
 What an exceptionally strange mixture of passion and sentiment was this fa- n1oas French philosopher Ills whole life was full of changes of temperament and
 eceent1acities and there is little doubt that for the last ten or fifteen years of his life he9was not wholly sane.
 The love affairs of Rousseau were many and varied as numerous. When he
 was hardly more than boy he was sent to live with Madame de Warens, a pret- ty widow of Annecy. with whom he fell in loye-cr was it the widow who fell in love with him. and he was too weak to discourage her advances?
 He left De Warens frequently during 1 the few years that followed. but was always glad to get back to hAr shelter

rnr REAnING wREcK.

That there would be an inquiry into the facts surrounding the fast express on the Philadelphia & Reading road was in- evitable. From the reports which have been given 1t would appear that the re- sponsibifity will not be difficult to estab- fish but there should be gathering of ali the facts for the purpose of guarding against anything of the kind in the fu- ture aa vel as dealing with those nov concernedzeasss s4sxesgas5
 While it Is shown that the flyer was switched to the wrong track in mistake for another train, the claim is that this train and the one 1t was mistaken for were clearly marked had the proper att tention been given to the designations. Likewise is 1t maintained that in the throwing of the switch the engineer of the express was warned to slow down. Whether he actualiy go. the warning In time to do anything may never ha known. Death has made the taking of his testimony impossible and he cannot tell why lie was taking the switch at full speed, which was the reason for the train leav- ing the rails. when al such time even though his train was being sent onto the wrong track he should have responded to warning signals and slowed down.
 is another instance which has dem onstrated the benefit of steel cars and it has also emphasized the fact that if the system had been equipped with auto rnatic train controls the mistake on the part of the towerman and the failure to see, or the disregard of the warning by the engineer would have been nullif1ed.
 By the investigations underway this situation should be the more clearly brought to light.

Stories That Recall Others
An Auto Story.

One young man recently went for an auto trip in Preston accompanied by three other companions of his own age. On his return he was describing the route taken by the party and the fath- CT expressed great surprise that a ma chine could have been driven over such a road, as he had travelled it a few days previous in a surrey and the wagon had to be sent to the repair shop as the re- suit. When the young man told the following:
 Well, the auto was coming along pretty good till we hit mud hole. and then she stopped. I got out to look her over and I saw she never would move while she was in the mud. There. was only one thing to do-get the little car on dry land. That was few feet away so said, Fellows, get out and lend me a hand
 And we picked up that car, set 1t out of the mud on a dry spot and con- tinued on our way. But no more ruts and mudholes for us"
 An Intellectual Penalty. It was the established custom in the school if a pupil came in late he must remain similar length of time after school.
 One day after the bell had rune ir came one of the smallest lads, who had the reputation of being the meekest and mildest pupil in the room. No ons thought he would be a victim of the enforcement of the rule.
 As soon as he had taken his seat tho teacher said: William, you came in late | and you must stay five minutes aftei school this afternoon. He is a bit deai and he didn't hear so she repeated It and while he didn't understand that tim, he released from the way others looket at him that she was talking to him. Thereupon he went to the desk and she told him again. That time he heard and his reply was 70, that's all right
