LITTLE MOTHERS COMPLAINT.

If dolls were real babies, it wouldn't
be so bad,
For they could show they thank me
for all the care I've had;
My mother says a baby's smile has
helped her over many mile.
'Twould help if dolls could dress them
selves,
And help me mend this shirt,
Instead of sitting there quite dumb
and looking bad and pert;
My mother says I'm very bright, I al
ways put my clothes on right.
Maybe you think l 'speck too much of
Mammie and Mig and Mag,
Because 1 see the faults of each, we'll,
don't like to brag,
But they were born the year was,
right on the Christmas tree.
1t looks as if they ought to have just
as much sense as ME!

EDUCATION IN THE HOME.

Very much of the earliest education,
that which is acquired in the home,
through the medium of imitation. The
child begins to copy the sights and
sounds about him. Thus the first
words are learned. During the entire
period of his childhood, he initiates
the language and manners and emo
tions of older ones about him. If he
lives among people whose language
is correct and agreeable, and whose
manners are pleasant, behavior gen.
tie, and kind, he will unconsciously
acquire similar ways.
If kindness and consideration for
each other are the rule in the home,
these qualities will impress themselves
upon the child. Good manners are a
valuable asset to every person, but
good manners have their origin in fine
qualities of mind and heart. Men
who as children heard profane lam
guage daily in the home, today use it,
however well educated they may be.
Untidy, shiftless, thriftless examples
in the home, turn out men and WON
en- stamped with undesirable and
harmful qualities. 1t is very clear
that parents have an enormous re-
sponsibility toward the children they
rear.
Not only is the child affected, but
the community in which he lives, and
in fact the nation, for the nation is
made up of individuals. The refine.
ment and prosperity of any nation
never rises above it's home life.

THE PLOUGHERS

Sunset and silence! A man; around
him earth savage, earth broken;
Beside him two 'horses-a plough!
Earth savage, earth broken, the
brutes, the dawn man there in the
sunset,
And the Plough that is twin to the
Sword, that is founder of cities!
"Brute-tamer, plough-maker, earth
breaker! Can'st hear? There are
ages between us.
rs it praying you are as you stand
there alone in the sunset?
Surely our sky-born gods can be
naught to you, earth child and earth
master?
Surely your thoughts are of Pan, or
of Wotan, or Dana?
"Yet, why give thought to the gods ?
Has Pan led your brutes where they
stumble?
HAS Dana numbed pain of the child
bed, or Wotan put hands to your
plough?
What matter your foolish reply! o,
man, standing lone and bowed earth
ward, =.
"Y our task is day near it's close.
Give thanks to the night-giving
God"
Slowly the darkness falls, the broken
lands blend with the savage;
The brute-tamer stands by the brutes,
heads breadth only above them.
A heads breadth? Ay,, but therein is
r1ehell's depth, and the height up to
heaven,
And the thrones of the gods and their
halls, their chariots, puppies and
splendors. -.

BETTY AND THE PUMP.

Betty gathered up the water bucket
and went out to the WELL There was
a pout on her lips, and frown on
her forehead.
Il hate to pump this old pump"
she said out loud. slamming the han
die of the bucket over the spout.
There was a merry laugh, and Betty
looked up to see her little friend, Co
comeback, sitting on the top of the
pump, laughing at her.
"Well, l do, just the same" she
pouted.
wonder what you'd do if you lived
where they didn't have pumps to

fore Betty knew what was happening,
she was whisked through the air and
dropped down on strange island.
"This is the island of Corsica" said
Gocomeback. tits rather small, for
you can almost see the whole island
right from this point"
ut surely is small" laughed Betty.
Several mules with barrels strapped
on their backs, their masters walking
beside them, filed up the mountain
side.
"Pirates!" exclaimed Betty, moving
closer to Gocomeback.
Pirates nothing" laughed Gocome-
back They're watercarriers. Most
of the water used for washing and
cooking has to be carried from wells,
streams or springs, and these men
make their living carrying water"
Where do they get it?' laughed
Betty, now that she was sure the dir
ty-faced men were not pirates.
Down by the stream is a spring, -
replied Gocomeback. Its about the
only water round here fit to drink"
They walked through the dirty
streets lined with low shacks. All the
windows and curtains were dirty;
even the people who peeked through
them at Betty and Gocomeback were
grimy-faced and frowsie-headed.
sGuess waters SO hard to get they
don't like to waste it for cleaning
purposes whispered Betty.
Toward them, laughing and chatting
merrily, came several young girls, all
balancing a pail of water on their
heads, their bright-colored shawls and
gay gowns flashing in the sunshine.
| "All the women of the island do
all the water-carrying when they can't
afford to pay the water man to bring
their water" whispered Gocomeback
"On their heads, that way! I'd be
sure to stumble and spill it all!'
laughed Betty.

HOMECOMING OF THE CHILD.

Do you send your child out each
day, to school or to play, happily,
trustingly, lovingly? Is he glad to
go, but gladder still to return? asks
Nelia G. White. What sort of home
coming does he have? Aren't we,
mothers, too apt to make that home
coming full of seedlings for hardness.
or nagging over table department, or
rushing the children off to bed so we
may have the evening to ourselves?
Those things seem of small impor-
lance, but wouldn't it be of more last
ing value to us and to our children If,
instead, we made of that Homecoming
a happy summary of the days affairs?
There is no child who is not glad
to tell what he has been doing all day.
If he has been at school there are
often little difficulties, little vexations
that the teacher has not had time to
satisfactorily explain or smooth out.
A word or two from mother may make
1t all clear and right. And if he has
been at play there will be so many
things to tell. 1t is while out at play
that the child becomes acquainted
with the fascinating realm of out-of-
doors. Flowers, birds, trees, bees and
butterflies-he may become closer &C
quainted with them all through the
retelling of his experiences among
them. Wouldn't he be more interest
ed in insect life if he knew the life
history of the butterfly or of the ant
with it's almost human arrangement
of home and work? Wouldn't he find
more satisfaction in the fields if he
knew that there were weeds that ate
bugs and some that lived on other
plants, like selfish folks? And wouldn't
you like to have him so form the hab-
it of telling you things that he goes on
telling them, even after he passes out
of childhood? Wouldn't you like to
be the one he always comes back to
for understanding, encouragement
and intelligent enlargement of his
small ideas?
And isn't it in this deep abiding
faith in mother and father, and in
the intimate comradeship with the
outside world, that the faith in God is
born? Perhaps, in childhood, the con-
nection between the Creator of the
Universe and white-fringed, gold
en-hearted daisy may not be overly
clear, but if the connection is made at
all, if the child sees the manifesto
tions in his own soul, then, as you
help him to weave, his daily expert
ences fashion themselves into life
pattern that he will not be ashamed
to show to himself or his Creator at
the twilight hour" of life.

Annabel had been describing differ

year at college, giving word pictures
of the faculty and her new friends,
including her roommate, Alice Dix.
Dixie isn't SO very pretty, and she's
just an ordinary student" said she.
Good, you know, but not brilliant. She
dresses well, but there's no particular
style about her, so that you'd notice
her in crowd. She hasn't great
deal of money, either; someway, she's
in everything that's going on and
easily the most popular girl in the
class"

AUTHOR OF HOLY NIGHT

At Obendorf, little village of Salz,
burg, a monument has been erected
to the memory of Father Joseph Mahr,
whose beautiful and touching hymn,
silent Night, Holy Night" is now
heard round the world each Christmas
tide. The shaft is not so much a
tribute to his fame-for his few sweet
stanzas have insuredi that-as an ad-
ditional token of the affection with
which the townsfolk still regard him.
1t was Christmas, 1918, that Father
Mahr, then curate at Obendorf, wrote
the words that have since softened
millions of hearts in all lands. When
he had finished his verses he was
eager for music to go with them.
There was little time to get a score,
for it was already Christmas Eve. He
went to the village of Arnsdorf, where
lived his frierd, Franz Gruber, who
was teacher CT music and organist
at Obendorf.
At Father Mahr's request, Gruber
composed the plaintive melody which
is now so familiar. The organ at
Obendorf had been destroyed by an
overflow of the River Salzach, and
when the score had been completed by
Gruber, the hymn was sung for the
first time to the accompaniment of a
guitar.
Reason for PIaintive Note.
That note of sweet pathos in Cru
ber's music has an explanation. He
and his good wife that Christmas
Eve were still mourning the loss OF
their little child. The fathers feel
ings are here and there mingled in
the music with the joyous strains OF
welcome to the Saviour of the world
Such was the origin of that simple
but wonderful song of Christmas time
No one could have imagined that from
so humble beginning it was destined
TO win the world and find favor not
alone with Catholics but also with
those of all other creeds. One per
son seems, however, to have under
stood it's worth and foreseen its fame

allow the kings servants to do the
same to them. AS his mother put
him to bed in another room, Louis
repeated with much emphasis, "Nev-
er will let such a. bad book touch

Soon after, the father was called to
renounce his faith. He paid for his
refusal with his head. The following
day, the mother and little Louis were
informed that they, too, must die.
They rejoiced at this good news and
gave thanks to God for this great

Then came Louis turn. On being
asked, do you not fear death?" the
child replied: ooh, no, I do not fear it

the victims placed face to face. The
executioner thrust his lance to kill
Louis, but it glanced off, Fearing that
this might cause the child to waver,
