Queen Elizabeth was magnificent In
al her entertainments and EJeral with
her favorites, but she was extraorGi-
nariIy tight-fisted when it came to ex-
penditures for the army or navy or n
making grants that would affect her
treasury.
Sir Roger VIII IS, a va - Welsh
commander, came to her one day with
q petition she was determined not to
grant. However, e did not wish to
refuse him directly, and sought for
some excuse to turn him away. Her
olfactory nerves being delicate, she OBJ
served that his boots were of rough,
untanned leather, so she exclaimed:
"Phew, Williams How your b. 5
stink"
"Tut. madam" replied the Welsh
man, cit is my suit that stinks, MT my
bootsl"
Her generals and admirals always
were quarreling with her because she
declined expenditures for expeditions
or curtailed them so much that the
Vc>tu. we're seriously crippled.
Philip II of Spain made solemn vow
''to avenge the destruction Of the Ar
mazda on Elizabeth If he were reduced
to pawn the last candleStick on his
domestic altar" Lord Admiral Howard
and the Earl Of Essex persuaded her
after much argument, to anticipate
Philips designs by sending out an ex-
petition against him. It was success
full, and great spoils we're obtainei
which were divided between the COM
manders and the men. When Eliza
beth learned that no Stare had been
held for her, she informed Essex and

SANE OR INSANE

Methinks no criminal Is sane, al
though the law may hold him so; a
man with an unblemished brain won't
willfully go hunting woe. And woe is
all the sinner gets, when he has pulled
two crimes or three; for years in some
foul cell he sweats, or haply mounts
the gallows-tree. A man who held an
ancient grudge but recently went forth
Judge, and then to jail was rushed
away. To play an evil trick like this,
he left a pleasant home behind, where
he might well have lived in bliss, had
he but owned q normal mind. He left
q wife who loved him well, and divers
children fair to see: he left them for
a frowsy cell, and worse, perhaps, the
gallows-tree. He left his priceless
photograph and countless records good
to hear, the books DER which he used
to laugh or peradventure shed a tear.
He left his good old easy chair, in
which he sat on tranquil nights and
heard great speakers on the air-he
left all sorts of sane delights. He sac
rificed for foolish hate the cheerful
nights of glee and song, to go and shoot
him wrong. Now men of science test
his brain by asking questions all the
day, to figure out II he is sane or II
his wits are flown away. Whatever
these wise men decide, hold he's
crazy as a bat; a fellows mental force
has died who goes and pulls a stunt
like that. No man who has lick of
sense will quit the pleasant paths of
peace to perpetrate rank offense that
gets him wrong with the police. No
man is sane who will forsake his hearth
and home to wade in crime, in peni-
tential gloom to wake, and spend the
gray years serving time.

When boys and girls reach the later
teens they are likely to want to 60
their way without question. They like
to say, I'm going to the show tonight,
I'm going to be away Sunday" OF
course, the first thing you want to ask
is. where are you going?" and the
next, who is going with you?"
The adolescent boy and girl dislike
being questioned like that. It Is not
that they are doing things that they
are ashamed of, but that their tnde-
pendence, their power of taking care
of themselves is being doubted. Doubt
1t though you may, 1t Is better to keep
your doubts to yourself.
Once a child has reached the later
teens he is adult in feeling. His per-
sonality Is strong in its first growth.
The child Is heady with individuality.
His will, his desires, his pride are all
very strong, and< anything that seems
to thwart them is painful and grievous.
The child must grow up and this feel
ing Of independence, this demonstra-
ton Of self-direction, this expression
of personal likes and dislikes are the
indications of the last stage OF growth,
the first stage of maturity.
Do nothing to wound the child's
pride. Do not attempt to assert author
lty. and, above all, do not nag and
weep. It will do no good to attempt
to bind an adolescent. If he does not
wish to tell you where he Is going and
you press him to do so he will lie to
you. That is far worse than keeping
his business to himself. Really, that
is what he Is trying to do. 1t Is o
new experience to him, and II allowed
to have it to the full he will soon feel
the need of human understanding and
sympathy and turn to you for them.
If you have estranged him by COM
marld and pleading and tears, he will
not turn to you.
What can you do If you see the chill

etbook has had a chance to recuperate
somewhat from the obstetrical fee"
As things ought to be, $125 Is Q fair
fee and the doctor should be entitled
to that reasonable fee whether he holds
himself out as a common gardn prac-
titioner or o hifalut1n specialist. As
things are, the obstetrician probably
allowed his assistant" to keep $50 for
his share and kept the other SIS for
himself.
Fifty dollars, as things are, Is q rea-
| Sonable base fee or minimum charge
for attendance in confinement When
ever anybody pays more than that, the
chances are he is wasting good money.
Obstetricians are quite essential In
some cases I mean specialists, real
specialists, doctors who practice obstet-
RIGS exclusively.
When an obstetrician is required he
Is sorely needed, and then he is jus
titled in demanding 81 900 or whatever
the patient is able to pay for his serv-
ice. I believe no such specialist Is
needed unless or until the family doc
tor requests his service, advice or help.

though many times the man does help
his wife when she Is overbusy with her
tasks
The husband, through Ahe imperative
nature of business life, gets himself adj
justed to the duplex features of the new
home life much more quickly than the
wife. She misses the sole devotion paid
her during courtship, and frets that
business concerns are so absorbing that
they distract her husbands attention.
It is right here that trouble some
times arises. The wife insists that the
husband pay her the same loverlike de-
votion, both in little membranes and
in conversation. She misses the repeat
ed assurance that he loves her and his
eagerneSs to hear her tell him she loves
him. Then the wife frequently makes
the mistake of asking her husband con-
tinually, do you love me?"
At first he Is quick to respond and
affirm his love- After a little while he
finds the question irksome and is less
ready with protestations of affection,
and by and by he resents the question
with its hint of lack on his part. Some
times it goes even further, and the hus-
band, being constantly questioned by his
wife, begins to question himself. Then
the seed of discomfort begins to Sprout
The young married woman should
from the first understand that marriage
is not all romance. Trust must be an
underlying principle, not to be ques-
toned by either husband or wife. Keep
faith with this trust and it will tide
over what might otherwise prove trou-
blesome times.

The Beby.

Messrs Henry and George recently
dramatized the old parable of the chap
who paid the doctor. They did Il per-
fectly, but still couldn't get more than
q wistful smile out of 1t. A very young
doctor in a small village writes this lit
tie sermon:
MY brother. who has an office job
in and whose salary is about the
average for his class Of work, was mar
ried two years ago. Six months ago the
first baby arrived. 1 was not in this
part of the country at the time, and he
therefore did not consult me as to the
selection of an obstetrician. Feeling.
as many young married men do, that
he wanted the best for his wife, he
went to one of the leading obstetricians
of the city, whose price was too high
for consideration. He did engage the
services of this mans assistant for the
sum of SIPS. When the event took
place the young assistant insisted on
the affair being held in a hospital.
which added enough to bring the total
cost of the baby up to $500.
THE proud father, however, did not
lose heart until the baby was months
old. At that time the baby showed
some constipation and was taken to
the doctor. The young obstetrical as
sistant who had been paid the $125
was very polite and even suggested that
prune juice might relieve the baby,
but as he was not a pediatrician he
preferred not to handle the situation.
but referred them TO a man who he
assured them was first-claSs pedia-
trician and would be glad to serve them.
At this stage the proud father consult

spoke plainly. AS a result he now has

are few left nowadays, even In the

But she

was to side with her son. But she
realized she must be fair.
She had to watch lest she be gentler
and more loving to her own baby than
to Joan, and thus make the little girl
jealous and unhappy. After all, she
took the place of Joan's mother and
must give her as much love as If she
were her own.
It is so easy, Nancy found, to make
a child Jealous. And jealousy brings
many evils in its train-lying teasing,
tormenting, sulking actual hating.
She trained herself to be impartial,
to listen when the children played to-
gether and to be as ready to detect
faults in her own son as in her niece.
And at that. she found her son was no
angel At times she was sure he In
herited those traits from his fathers
family. And then she giggled at her
own absurdity. Fairness and sense Of
humor are two necessities If a mother

~ URPLE shadows of the early
IN Winter evening were closing
- in on Bethlehem. Lights
~ glowed from the houses that
lined the crooked streets. The smoke
of busy hearth-hres rose straight and
white OIL the still air. And in the
largest inn the stir and hustle of the
close of day was at its height.
One upper room only was dark and
silent where Sarah, the wife of
Nathan, the innkeeper, knelt beside
the body of her child. She was quiet
now, for her stormy violence of grief
had left her exhausted, and her face
was as pale and her hands nearly as
cold as those of the motionless little
form on which her dark eyes were
fixed with aching intensity, albeit she
could barely distinguish it in the
deepening gloom.
Sarah would have no one with her.
She had rejected in the bitterness of
her woe all offers of companionship.
Il am quite WE'LL" she had replied to
the timid knocks of her maids upon
the closed door. "If I need you will

alone in his little Office behind the
main room of the inn, could be of no
help. Nathan's loss and hers had
