Says This Wise Old Owl:


 Reading of those five little chil- dren who pcrished in the blizzard few days ago out in Colorado makes me think how fortunate we are to live where We do. We are free from floods, blizzards. volcanos ard the like, that cause so much misery and hardship. Think what sorrow was brought to the homes of those little chil-. dren who froze to death and the numerous other children now down with pneumonia who are dangerously i'll. Yes. we're for tunate here in Waterbury. Now about our special which we are offering at this store tomorrow.

bond as faithfully as II It were . bond
in business which is q guarantee OF
good faith. The dictionary defines q
bond as IAN obligation In writing under
SEAL" If one must be literal, this Is
just what q marriage contract Is.
The home IS founded on q more
precious thing than IS business, which
is purely commercial; but no business
of any kind can be successful unless Il
keeps the unity of the spirit In the
bond of peace" The spirit of business
partnership is Incorporation for the ben
eft of the concern. Unless the partners
work peacefully together the business
is a failure.
They win not always agree. but their
diSagreements must be amicable, the
kinds which spring from varying view
points. It is very often because part
ners see things from different angles
and discuss them without rancor that
the conferences help the success Of the
business. Each one has some ideas Of
his own to contribute, and the combina-
ton of these ideas spells better buS1-
ness, greater success.
The resemblance of q successful home
to such a business is easy to see. The
common interest-the prospecting Of the
homes akin to the prosperity OF a
business, although not reckoned in ex-
actly the same specie. Varying temper
aments and points of view have to
come under the blending influence Of
this common interest, wherein each
contributes a quota of individuality,
plus ideas, some Of which are widely
divergent.
1t is in the combination of these
ideas and the amicable cooperation Of
these personalities that success Is as
sured in home life. In the whole wide
universe there is nothing more beau
tiful than happy home life.

could hardly be seen from the ground.
Really, my dear. it Is a much better
tree than this. Won't you come with
me and look at it?"
Mrs. Redshoulder could hardly refuse
to do this. so rather grudgingly she
consented and followed Redshoulder to
the big pine. "There!" cried he, tri-
umphantly. Have you ever seen Q
finer tree for a nest?"
YES" replied Mrs. Redshoulder
shortly. 1.-THE tree where we are going
to build"
Then began a long argument. Mrs.
RedShoulder pointed out that the
branches of that pine came so near the
ground that it could be very easily
climbed, whereas it was q long way I'D
to the first branches Of the tree Of her
choice. Redshoulder pointed out that
this pine was in more secluded place
than the other tree and that a nest
could be better hidden. So it went
back and forth. Each was right, for
both trees were suited to their needs.
At last Redshoulder gave In. He
usually did.
Lets not quarrel" said he. After
all, you are the one to be suited. You
are the one who win have to use 1t, so
we'll take your tree. Just the same, I
think this tree is a better one"
Mrs. Redshoulder spread her wings.
Come on" said she. We've got a lot
Of work to do"

For two days Redshoulder and Mrs.
Redshoulder were busy people. They
were, indeed. Never had the Green
Forest been more thoroughly inspected.
They were looking for the best place to
build that new nest they must build
because Hooty the Owl had possession
of their old nest.
There is one thing certain and that
Is we do not want to be close neigh

Redshoulder.

Redshoulder. 81 don't think they would

"Of course" said Mrs. Redshoulder,
eve don't want to be too deep in the
Green Forest. We want to be far
enough in to be secluded, but handy to
our hunting grounds on the Green
Meadows"
To this Redshoulder agreed, and
during the next two days there wasn't
a tree for some distance around that
wasn't carefully looked over by one or
the other or both. Some of the time
they separated, looking In different
places, and some Of the time they did
their looking together. 1t was Red

he looked it over the better he liked it.

OUR CHILDREN
Fire.

Fire.
All children delight In IRE. The fumes
have q charm for them that few other
elements have. Indeed the love Of .
blazing fire Is In ali Of US and there Is
no harm in It, but much satisfaction.
Little children who do not comprehend
| the danger are likely to give their
mothers q bit OF trouble for . few
years, but with understanding comes
caution and few children do harm to
themselves or to others with fire.
There are children who IN the early
years delight in getting hold Of matches
and starting little fires. That is serious.
They have no understanding of the
danger and 30 are source Of constant
worry. just what to do with them y
problem. Some things we know VIII
not help.
Burning o child's fingers win not
prevent him from playing with matches
another time. In this particular the
burned child does not dread the flre.
The instinct to light fire, the impulse
to do 1t now, comes upon this hre-
loving creature and he makes his con-
tribution to the fire god once more.
Scolding and screaming and calling
in the fireman to talk to him does no
good either. That sort of dramatic
scene seems to strengthen his desire to
see the flames mount and soon he does
1t again. What will help?
Sometimes, If the child is q normal
minded child, it helps If he is allowed
to set the fire In the proper place under
supervision. If his mother says, you
wait until it is time to light the stove
and I VIII let you strike the match and
set the fame going and show you where
to put the dead match We have to
be very careful because fire Is SO dan
gerouS, but III stand by and watch so
you'll be quite safe"
II there is an open fire in the house
that helps. The child can sit by the
| fire. can be taught to feed it properly,
under set conditions and always under
| supervision. It seems that prolonged
experience with setting fires and
watching them trains the child to un-
derstanding and caution.
All matches should be kept in tin
box and out of sight. There should be
| no suggestion to lead to setting fires In
unusual places. SO all rubbish, dead
matches. and I've ones, must be kept
out of sight cleared away, properly
cared for always. The less talk about
/ the child's tendency before him, the
better Talking keeps the idea alive
If you have a child who habitually
sets fires in unusual and dangerous
places-in his bed. in the closet, in
the garage and the like-have him ex-
amined by a child expert with all
| promptness. Sometimes we can help
such children by discovering their mo-
tive in setting the fires. One child did
| 1t TO center the attention of the family
| upon himself. Another did 1t TO get
| even with somebody who had hurt his
| feelings. Another did 1t because his
nerves were overstrained due to severe
Illness In infancy. Some Just did II
and nobody could discover why. Nor
NAL children cease to make fires In

A Sermon for Today
"Stand Before Kings"
ny REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Ss~N@A0 @NANAN 4AAA91s
"Seest thou man diligent in business2
He shall stand before kings; he shall
not stand before mean men."-Prov.
| xxii29.
When Benjamin Franklin was q lad,
his father taught him to make this
proverb his motto. In later years
Franklin testified that the constant
keeping Of this proverb before him
had helped him to reach the place
where he had literally stood before
several of the kings of earth. In all
cases, when men follow the ideal set
| forth, they never fail to stand before
kings in the sense Solomon meant, If
not literally.
A new president was recently elected
to head one of our nationally known
corporations. According to the story
announcing his election, he started in
with the concern at the bottom as an
office boy; but by diligent application
to business, meanwhile using his spare
time to increase his general education,
he had worked his way to the highest
position in the organization. There
was nothing startling about this story.
It was simply repetition Of the same
old story We always read of men who
attain great success and eninence.
that occupy the top places in the
business world? Who are the men that
head the trades and professions? Who
are the high-ranking men in state.
craft? Who are the men standing
before kings in the world Of art, Of
letters, of religion, Of science?
It Is not by mere chance or accident
that they are where they are. They
are not there because they never had
any hindrances and difficulties to
meet. They are there as the result Of
patient plodding and conscientious de-
votion to duty. They are there be-
cause, in the hours most young men
| devote to pleasure and amusement,
they applied themselves TO study and
self REINFORCEMENT, that they might
broaden their lives and make them.
selves more acceptable and useful In
society generally, as well as increase
their efficiency in their chosen voca-
ton. Not any exceptional favor Of
fortune, but exceptional perseverance,
is the secret OF their success and king
~ recognition.
An old Story-yes. But it Is not
out of date, no more so than when
Solomon noted it in his proverb.
Young men WHO think it is. will be
out of date themselves sooner than it
wiz be. Substantial openings and i'm
perial recognition never come to the
man who thinks more of amusement
than Of business or who depends upon
the magic OF good luck to get ahead
in the world. OF the diligent man
alone can it be said, He shall stand
before kings"

find that what holds good in other
offices is not true in law Office. There
are many lawyers who do not like their
woman employees to go out with clients,
| with fellow lawyers or even with the
young men in the Office. I don't know
why this feeling should exist in a legal

but apparently lawyers are more careful
about the proprieties and harder to
change to new-fashioned ideas than
other people.
Lawyers are perhaps the most con-
sentative people in the world as a
group. Everything in the law is done
by precedent; that is, you do thing
because it was done 100 years ago some
where in England, or you don't do it
because is wasn't done SO years ago in
massachusetts,.
This attitude of mind is very COM
mon among lawyers. Naturally, then,
they think their stenographers ought
not to go out with clients because IS

out with customer.

said.
Scornful Of proceedings, Simmons
arrived at the jail this morning and
first refused to talk with his wife
when The Times reporter was
present. He showed the reporter
downstairs and was warned by
Deputy Sheriff Irving Beatty.
kissing his wife and inquiring as
to her welfare, she complained of
the heat in her little cellroom.
Simmons left the Jail to buy fan,
unaware that jail rules will prevent
its installation.
Charles Tyndall, Greenfield at
torney, is expected to demand Mrs.
Simmons release today.
Drug stores in Lebanon, Green
field and Indianapolis are being
checked in an effort to determine
the source and buyer of the poison.
Mrs. Simmons admitted that she
had placed two toothpicks in ap-
proximately half of the sandwiches
and one toothpick in the others.
She said she did that to insure the
sandwiches holding.
Investigators have been working
on the theory that the poisoner
might have placed the additional
toothpicks on the sandwiches to
identify those containing poison
from those that were edible.
Simmons was brought with his
wife from Hancock county, but was
not held by authorities. He was
taken to the picnic park of this city
and questioned again as to his own
and his wife's acts at the picnic.
Prior to the questioning of Mrs.
Simmons, her husband was permit
ted to visit with her in a cell in the
hospital ward Of the Jail.
The couple sang THE Old Rugged
Cross" and other hymns as they sat
on the prison bed. He consoled his
wife and patted her hand.
