In the olden days father came home

Mother joined him on the front steps

family tucked away at ten, In the
winter they sat grouped about the
sitting room lamp, father reading his
paper, mother doing the the family
darning, the children busy with their
school lessons. They lived a simple,
normal life Tuesday, of course, was
like Wednesday, and Thursday was
always like every other day, but they
were happy, healthy, and contented.
Nowadays father hurries home, bolts
his dinner, and rushes of TO be in time
for the FIRST show at the movies.
Mother Is often at his heels and may
have to do the dishes after the show, or
else wait till the second show On
nights when they do not 90 to the
movies, they are off TO bridge parties,

1t is human to become discouraged
after failure. Ones self confidence is
weak ened and ones pride is hurt. 1t
is easy to get the feeling that success
was not intended for you If you al
low that feeling to gain a hold on you,
you are lost. In many instances sue
cess does not arrive until late in life
because people are slow in finding the
thing for which they are really fitted,
That is one Of the chief dangers
parents encounter in deciding their
childrens' futures for them. Instead Of
letting a child's natural bent settle the
question, they make doctors or lawyers
or merchants out of them according TO
their own tastes in the matter That
accounts for about eighty per cent Of
the failures in the world The other
twenty per cent comes from lack Of
courage and slick-to-it-iycncss in the
face of failure.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
IF HE SHOULD COME
Nv Edward Markham


If Jesus should tramp the streets to-
night,
Storm-beaten and hungry for bread
Seeking a room and candle light
And a clean though humble bed,
Who would welcome the Workman in,
Though He came with painting
breath,
His hands all bruised and His gar
ments thin
This Workman from Nazareth?
Would rich folks hurry to bind His
bruise
And shelter His stricken form?
Would they take God in with His
muddy shoes
Out of the pitiless storm?
Are they not too busy wreathng their
flowers
Or heaping their golden store
Too busy chasing the bubble hours
For the poor mans God at the door?
And if He should come where church
men bow,
Forgetting the greater sin,
Would he pause with a light on His
wounded brow,
Would He turn and enter in?
And what would lie think of their
creedS so dim,
OF their weak upifted hands,
OF their foolish prayers going up to
him
Out of thousand lands?
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1922-08-24

We, all of us, have spells of think
ing that we are rather abused, that
life hasn't given us a fair chance and
a lot of other vain imaginings. The
best cure for this is to visit the slums
in some city and find out how those
children get their start. They never
see green field; they only get an oc-
casional peck at the blue sky between
the canyons of the tenement houses
The best play house they have is the
iire-eScape, Their feet are hardened
by rough pavements and cobhle stones
and the only green things they see are
the flowers in the florist windows or the
vegetables on the truck drivers cart.
Consider your own boyhood? How
does it compare with this. Beyond a
doubt you had whole fields to run i'm
and plenty of wholesome fresh coun-
try air to breathe. You could lie on
your back by the hour and build cas-
ties in the clouds. Evil was thing
unknown to you until you were old
enough to meet it with the teachings
of a good mother
After all those blessings, you feel
that you have not had fair start in
life. Compared with the poor little
city chaps you should be one of the
kings of the earth.
Adversely is sometimes fine thing
to bring out the stuff that is in you
but the wrong kind of living condi-
tions is not necessarily a form of adj
versity and they have never been
known to bring forth anything good.
Children raised in the slums who be-
come useful and conscientious citizens
are so in spite of their conditions and
not because of them, They deserve ten
times the credit that their country
brother should have and in case of
failure, about one-tenth as much
blame

unwisdom of tn" Woncr law seems idle. in

and marketed in vast quantities is now
available to the multitude 1t is cheap. 1t
is so!d in corner shops and in saloons. 1t is
being turned out by the gallon in private
houses or by the barrel in hidden places. It
is distributed from private homes.
What the prohibition enforcers can do
about it is mystery. But in the ordinary
unbiased view it seems that if we arc ever
to have actual prohibition the authorities
must begin with III" candid admission that
laws made thus far haven't eliminated
whisky. They have merely forced it below
