We give all our attention TO con-
stantiy destroying evils. In fact many
times we cause all evil to assume
greater proportions than 1t would 9TH
erwise, simply because we make such
a fuss over 1t. What we should do is
build up good institutions and in time
the evil ones will die out for want Of
attention. Let our reformers change

pay to it the worse 1t becomes.

OF art and music. life and song.
In BabyIo the music plays,
While all night long the dancers

To cymbal, drum, and saxaphone:
The swarming dancers interweaye
Like savage hOrdes ut tribal ritrss
They shuttle by in seething drove.
They make small words OF this ant

And palter at their maudlin loves.
Yet, when the brain sick dark has
gone.

That, beyond roaring Babylon,
The fruits OF earth and labor grow.

Unhindered by the builded height
Where pleasure spins her golden top

A great many parents make a sad
mistake in not commanding the re-
spect of their children. In their zeal
TO keep young and active, many OF
them seem to think 1t necessary TO
surrender their dignity. but such is
not the case. II Is unfortunately a
rare thing now to see children accord
to their parents the obedience and re-
spect our grandparents demanded.
Mother" and Father" have been
changed to the old man and the
old woman"
Parents wishes and commands are
disregarded as lightly as though they
had never been given. But the child
can hardly be blamed for this new at
titude. Most children are the result OF
their rearing. IL the rearing has been
faulty, the result Is not very pleasing
And this is in the hand OF the parents
II they fall down on their jobs, on
their heads is the punishment.
Rearing children is a mighty serious
business and the sooner this fact Il
appreciated the better. In some un-
enlightned countries parents bring
children into the world and consider
their responsibility ended as far as
that child is concerned. 1t grows ur
the best IL can. But we scarcely ex-
pect that sort OF thing in America
though we often find 1t.

Miss Banks said Perry evidently
