think my mama wants me-" This
was the stock phrase George always
used when as boy he was beaten at
marbles, or later on at croquet. Even
when he grew to the tennis age he
still always escaped whenever he
found games were not going his way.
Some duty called him. some one
needed to see him. or he had an er-
rand to do that would not wait.
Georges excuses always seemed so
plausible that as a small chap he got
away with them" When the group
of children with whom he played
grew somewhat older, they teased him.
1t angered them to have their play
interrupted just as it reached its
highest tension. Gradually they
learned. however. that it was just as
well to let him go. for If he remained
he was sure to be grouchy. What
fun is there in having a good time, or
pretending to. when one of the COM
pany is out of sorts?

self left out of the plans for sports,
or games. whether they were his
favorite tennis or auction bridge, at
which he was fine player; or quoitS.
or golf, over which he was enthus-
iastic. Whatever 1t was, he was
seldom asked to take a hand or make
up a set.

naturally, since he enjoyed them. This
from his point of view.
The worst of it is,' heard one OF
the group say. that George is really
such an awfully nice fellow. He's
handsome and thoughtful, and we'd
like him a lot, if only he would be a
good sport"
That was the trouble George
wasn't a good sport. How do you
suppose he will get along in life? For
being a good sport somehow implies
that you know how to take the buff
fets as well as the pleasures as they
come along, and make the best of
whatever happens.
Learning to Be a Good Loser.
Your mother let you beat her that
game" one lad protested to another
in my hearing recently. 1t was a
game of dominoes that evoked the
comment, the truth of which certainly
could not be denied. But the next
game the mother won. Then it was
that you realized why she had let
her son succeed the time before. If
he lost. he was sulky and peevish.
However. the mother handled the
small son well. If occasionally she
did let him win easily, on the others
she let him gain poise, something laid
down in the rules of dominoes. Pa.
tiently and tactfully she was teaching
him to be a good sport. He was a
difficult pupil. but she would make

Tom Hughes owed Sam Little a
debt of $500, which the latter de,
SPARED of ever getting repaid.
Meeting Little one day, Hughes Of
fered to pay $50 in discharge of the
debt. Thinking that the rest was
hopeless. Little consented.
Before paying the amount, how
ever, Hughes declared that he wanted
a receipt to show that the arrange
ment was final. Accordingly, the fol
lowing paper was drawn up:
Received of Tom Hughes, $50. In
full payment of debt Of 5000 due me.
The consideration of the above $50 IL
that Tom Hughes is to be released en-
tirely from the debt"
The paper having been signed by
Little, Hughes paid over the amount
agreed upon.
Later on, however. Little found
that il he could get a judgment
against Hughes for the $3.50 balance
he would be able to collect. There
upon, he filed suit.
Hughes only defense was the re-
ceint Little had given him, which he
presented in court.
DESPITE the receipt, judgment for
the balance was rendered against
Hughes, in conformity with the fol
lowing:
"It is a familiar principle of law
that a payment of part of debt in
discharge of the whole will not bar
recovery of the balance unpaid. The
rule is based upon the principle that
there is no consideration for the prom

The Eating Muscle.

Throughout the length of the all
mentary canal the thickness of the
canal wall consists mainly of in
voluntary muscle, one layer of the
muscle f1bers being circular or spiral,
another layer being lengthwise in ar
rangement. All of this alimentary
muscle is under the control of the
autonomic or involuntary c'sympa-
thetic'0 nervous mechanism right up
to and including some of the muscles
of swallowing. and hence not directly
Influenced by the will.
From the great relative amount of
this muscle in the alimentary tube.
1t is evident that movement of the
tube and manipulation of the contents
must be an important part of the
digestive process. And from the fact
that the action of this vast digestive
muscle equipment is entirely con-
trolled by the unconscious portion of
the nervous mechanism, it should be
obvious that nature did not intend to
leave any part of the digestive process
to the control, regulation or inter-
ference of the viii. Even the masti-
cation and insalivation of food in the
mouth. though largely under con-
scious control, is normally an auto
matte process, and probably it is wise
in eating to keep ones mind on any
other pleasant subject than chewing.
Horace Fletcher's teachings We're,
unfortunately. not based on sound
hysiology-Fletcher knew nothing of
physiology-and such physical bene-
fits as Fletcher himself avowedly
gained from practicing the peculiar
tenets of his creed may be ascribed
rather to temperance than to meas
ured mastication.
The special function of the eating
muscle is peristalsis, a forbidding
name, perhaps, but jolly good thing
for health. Once the swallowing i'm

Love-.

When you tell people who have
troublesome children-and all healthy
children are troublesome some time or
other-that love is the only safe
principle to train children upon, they
either snort loudly or look at you
pityingly. They think that love
means softness.
Love means anything but softness
when applied to the upbringing of
children. When we love people we
put all our wishes, all our feelings
aside and do what we know to be
best for the beloved ones happiness.
II you loved a child would you
stand back and see him heading
straight into danger without warning
him? Would you stand still and
wiring your hands helplessly while he
ran merrily on TO ruin? Not unless
YOU were paralvzed hand and foot.
You'd stop him IL you had to tie him
to you.
But if Needless child asks for
something you know Is not good for
him what do you do? You say "No." "
Then he cries affectingly and you
can't stand it, "Well. well. I'll let
you go this once. But don't ask me
again"
lie won't ask again, because he
will take for granted that he can
do il. In his deep mind he reasons:
"If it had been very bad, IL it had
been really dangerous. he would not
have let me do it, no matter how
much ] cried" Next time he does
it without asking, and if he is cues
toned about it. says in pretended as
tonishment "Why. you let me-
It is very difficult to hold child
to his duty and see him weeping
about IT, IT is so easy to step ir

spirit and allow his to go free.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri
,opYriRht. 1921

Will it go free? Don't you know
that each heart must know its own
bitterness, create its own happiness?
Don't you know that each time you
allow a child to do what you know
he ought not to do you have showed
him one step nearer failure. one step
away from success? Would love do
that?
Love suffers long and Is kind" 4"
Why Is it we forget the part about
the suffering and remember only the
kindness? 1t must be because we
like to be kind. 1t makes us feel
so warm and comfortable. How
much right have we to the comfort
that must in the end be pain and
grief to child? Measured by love,
we have none at all.
If we love child the right way
we place his interest first. We will
not teach him something today that
he must unlearn with tears and
heartache tomorrow. We will not
indulge him today in what we
know must bring him shame on an
other occasion. We will not encour-
age him in weakness when we know
that it will betray him on a day when
he most needs to be strong.
If we truly love him we will think
long and earnestly upon the course to
take with this child, and then we
will do what we ought to do for his
good. We will suffer love.
