Help

Nv neighbor, Snlilax. was in trou.
bic, he had two broken limbs; and
to him went old Mrs. Bubble, with
tracts md helpful hymns. And to
his home went many neighbors, q
good, kind-hearted crew, to hope
he'd soon resume his labors, and be
as good as new. The village opti.
mist proceeded to his dire couch OF
pain, and turned some sunshine
loose and pleaded that he would
smile again. The brethren of his
lodge were present at every crucia
hour, to make the sick room sweet
and pleasant as any maiden's bower
And; l alone refrained from calling
upon that tortured guy. though SYM
pathetic tears were falling, at; times
from either eye. And people said
Your heart is hardened, you visit
not the sick; believe us, you will
not be pardoned for such an evil
trick. You hear your neighbor
Smilax yelling until his lafynx
cracks, and yet you visit not his
dwelling to ask him how he stacks.
You carry him no pies of custard
no bowls of wholesome soup, you
pack no sandwiches, with mustard,
to Smilax in his coop" But when
the invalid was better, and feeling
pert and smart, he said to me. "Oh,
donnerwetter, l thank you from my
heart! When sickness laid its
shadow DER me, and made me wilt
and droop, you, you alone refused to
bore ME with sermons and with
soup"

Children in Homes as Long
as Possible.

Parents Should Prepare Selves fol
Duties, She Says.

against him and deplored the existing
aw which permits a child to be held
n the house of detention almost in
definitely-withoutt the Juvenile Court
having any power to intercede.
Need OF Good Homes.
She explained that the majority OF
the cases of delinquency could be
traced directly to lack of the proper
statements that about SO per cent of
LII delinquents come from broken
homes
She deplored the lack of knowledge
of the average couple at the time of
marriage. and of the responsibilities
that they are contracting.
"Fhe two greatest professions" she
said, ARE those of being father and
a mother, and young people practi-
cally never have any training for
these. the greatest of all professions"

vention of juvenile delinquency, and
