The problem Is a difficult one and

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

/ Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am happy
but as fate will have it my heart is
broken and my love dreams shattered.
Here is the reason:
Not long ago met the most won
derful heart-breaker in this world.
say heart-breaker because I find
am not the only girl who has broken
heart because of him. My but he was
handsome! Tall and a blonde. The
other evening I saw him down town
and he didn't even speak.
This is his game-he gets a girl
to love him and then he throws her
down. 1 have been able to forget all
the other young men I have loved,
but this will linger forever. I took
a trip so as to forget my love for him,
but absence only made my love
stronger. I feel as if would be better
off dead. Please advise me what is
the best thing to do. He is twenty
two and I am eighteen
WAITING
Put your trust in the healing power
of time You think you will never
love again, but time will soften your
wound I feel confident that a year
from now you will be just as2deeply in
love with some one else.
1t does not seem to me you should
have expected much from the young
man. At the age of twenty-five he
could hardly be expected to marry
and unless he asked you to marry
him you should not have permitted
him to make love to you I do not
admire the type of man you describe
the heartbreaker. but don't al
ways blame him. He is permitted to
make love to almost every girl he
meets At first he thinks her love
means lot

JUST FOLKS
THE CARVING KNIFE
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

OsAIA ANH hNAE
when I was but a little lad, my father
carved what meat we had,
With grace and skill he'd cut and slice
the roast Of beef or veal,
With dexterous hand he'd WELD the blade
no false or awkward move he made.
And deftly he could whet the knife upon
his shining steel,
But now and then I'd hear him say
What wornan's used this blade of mine
for cutting wire Or tin ?"
And on this special point he'd harp: "a
carving weapon must be sharp.
Or one can never cut a roast and have
the slices thin"
or bread or boards or anything.
Hands off my carving blade he'd cry,
and yet grieve to say,
spite e on n All Ms rs bsa dnf IN grim the
They used his sacred carving knife a
dozen times a day.
They'd use that knife for cutting soap,
old carpets. leather belts and rope,
They'd use ii too. for pulling tacks and
leave it dulled and nicked,
And every time a meal began, my father
But vain was every oath he swore and
every kick he kicked
Now like my good old dad stand, and
take the carving knife in hand
And rua my thumb along its edge and
find it dulled and nicked,
And like my good old dad l vow, some
day there'n be healthy row,
But I'm as gnsuecessful as my father
when he kicked
The maid, the youngsters and the wife, still
take that sacred carving knife
And use it as a handy tool on wood or
lead or stone,
In spite Of all L do or say, the blade Is
cannot get the women folks to leave
that knife alone.

stole to the cottage. let herself In with
her key and turned on the electric
light in the living room-for they had
even had the electric meter installed
and sat down in an armchair to gaze
and the vacant corner. How well she
remembered the day she and Charles
had bought that armchair, and how
happy they had been in the selecting
of it. She sighed, fixed her eyes upon
the corner and pictured to herself how
hideous that gilt mahogany pedestal
would look there and how sweet that
triangular table.
1t was about a week after this and
figure might have been seen stealing
thru the obscurity toward the unoc-
cupied cottage. 1t was Charles Cor
bin, and he bore in his arms an awk-
ward burden wrapped in burlap. He
let himself into the front hall and
opened the living room door. The
room was a blaze of light which the
closed blinds and drawn curtains had
prevented him from noticing from the
outside There was a. little scream OF
surprise and alarm and there stood
Marian Clay with one hand on a gilt
mahogany pedestal which she had just
placed in the heretofore vacant corner.

his ungainly burden SO suddenly
that part of the wrappings came off.

mately stood in the corner is a Ques-

them did, that is sure, for Marian and

misdeeds, and probably interfered
with in their own practices by his in
tegrity, conspired to destroy him. The
plot was simple, and apparently sue
cessfuL- They knew that they could
count upon the kings vanity and upon
Daniels religious loyalty. So the
courtiers flattered the king into is
suing a decree that for thirty days
nobody should make any petition to
God or. man, except tok the king him
self, under penalty of being thrown
to the lions. And, of course, Daniel
went right on praying to Jehovah, as
the plotters had expected. He was the
sort of man whose religion could be
depended upon, regardless of the
weather.
1t was the vain king who was caught
in this device, rather than Daniel. To
the lions the old Hebrew went; and,
as Moody used to say, he took the
shaggiest of them all for a pillow,
and went to. sleep with serene con-
science. Far otherwise with the king.
After a sleepless conscience whipped
night he hastily sought the lions den
with contrite cries of 20 Daniel, serv-
ant of the living God, is thy God,
whom thou servest continually, able to
deliver thee from the hons?"
Doubtless it was a startled monarch
who heard the clear, untroubled tones
of the condemned man reply in the
conventional royal salutation, as un-
senting some official clay documents
to receive the impress of his majesty's
seal.
Fod had shut the lions mouths-as
every other disciple of his since long
before the days of Daniel knows he
can and does do. He keepeth the
feet of his saints" BY wonderful
providences the Lord has preserved
the lives of his children in peril and
in trial. This, our childhood faith,
has unlimited evidence to support it.
The ground of our peace is that Our
times are in His hand"
Not always tho are the lions mouths
shut. We recall the Christian martyrs
of the Roman Coliseum. Either way
God is doing what. he knows to be
best for those who trust him. Some
times as in Daniels case he turns the
savage beast into a lamb; at other
times he gives the Christian grace to
die triumphantly by the lions tooth
and claw. Both ways bear witness to
his sovereignty. Behold hoy these
Christians die!" was a cry that won
many to life by way of death. Daniel
was Daniel, Gods true man and wit
ness whether the lions devoured or
ignored him.

Eery mother should be a diplomat.
Instead of which she is generally a
COW in a china shop.
She yearns to have her children
confidential with her Their most cas-
ual acquaintance knows more of their
inner lives than she does. She feels
that she has a right ito guide their
lives. They accept any strangers ad-
vice sooner than they do hers. She
gives her very life in devotion to them,
and they. repay her love with i'm
patience.
No complaint is oftener on a
mothers lips than that she can't man
age her children. The reason is that
she doesn't go about It in the right
way. The old strong arm method of
coercing a child along the straight and
narrow way has passed away, and the
ma jority of mothers have not had wis
dom enough to know, that you must
deal with the modern child in the
modern way.
That means that the mother who
wishes to control her children must
do it by diplomacy instead of by force.
She must lead instead of drive. She
must beguile them into the ways of
righteousness instead of scourging
them into it. She must stimulate in
stead of terrorize.
OF course the idea of using any
diplomacy in dealing with their chill
dren is a startling one to most women,
They feel that they have a perfect
right to say what they please to the
members of their family, when and
where they please, and that it is ask
ing too much of them to expect them
to spare the sensibilities Fof a mere
infant.
Therefore, mother has no hesita-
ton in correcting Johnny before peo-
pie, or betraying Mary's secret, or
holding Sallie up to ridicule, and then
she wonders why it is that her chill
dren are not confidential with her
and that they keep out of her pres
ence as much as possible.
1t is a strange thing that a woman
can bear a child, and watch its daily
development without ever taking the
trouble to find out what is the key to
it's character. She leaves others to
find out the combination by which
her own child can be worked, and
then weeps because a strangers in
fluence is more potent than hers.
