screeching noise as if from the sudden
application of brakes; but the train
swept past him. His heart sank as he
watched it go toward the place where
the telegraph pole had fallen
In the heat of his excitement John

one of the wooden ties holding down
the rails. The blow dazed him and,
for moments or minutes, he lay in the
snow hardly knowing what had hapd-
pened. Then he managed to stand up

To his joy the train had come to a
full stop! Several men were coming to-
ward him. When they were within
speaking distance, one of the men-the
engineer-called cut, Il want to thank
you, my boy! You have performed a

what Is your address?"
John, still flushed with excitement,
answered the questions.

II himself from school today
4 L without permission" A truant.
Immediately visions Of bad as
sociationS. bad habits, dangerous ad-
ventures fill the mind and one is afraid
for the child.
Fear often makes for anger. The
two are closely connected. When the
truant returns to his home he is usually
met by angry parents, angry because
they are afraid that some dreadful
thing is about to overtake their child.
They think they are angry because
this child has brought trouble upon
himself and endangered his peace and
happiness They are really afraid for
the child's safety and their fear con-
ceals itself behind justifiable anger.
Fear juStifieS much that is not justif1-
able at all.
The truant stayed out of school for
some pressing reason. He did not de-
liberately scheme to get himself into
bad company or otherwise endanger
himself. He ran away from something
that was too much for him to face.
Very likely it had been bothering him
and pressure until he could stand 1t no
longer. Then he ran away from it..
Asked why he played truant, he says
he doesn't know. More than likely he
is telling the truth. We have to search
for the cause ourselves and, having
found it, remove it. Then the de-
sire for freedom from school pressure
will not drive the child to escape.
He will be satisfied to go on with
his work. All healthy, happy chill
dren want to go to school and want
to succeed there.
There are many causes for truancy
Improper grading Is one. A child
may be graded too high or too low.
Poor health is common cause. A
sick body cannot endure the pressure
of school day after day. An unsym-
pathetic teacher drives children out
of school. An unhappy, uncomforta-
BILE home will make children so un-
easy that their minds cannot be held
on school work and the resulting strug-
gle is too much for them, SO that they
run away. There are many, many
causes and they vary with the indi-
vidual child.
If your child fell SICK say with the
measles, you might be frightened, but
you would check your anger, knowing
he was not to blame. He didn't ask
for the measles. Look at his truancy
in the same way. The cause for his
truancy lies outside himself and is be-
yond bis control. He does not plan
his course of study, select his teacher
and administer the routine. That has
to be done for him and in doing some
where there is a mistake. An error.
1t must be found and corrected In the
same spirit that one finds what causes
his illness and applies the remedies.
Search the child's school program,
examine his mental life, look for his
desires, abilities and purposes. Adjust
his home routine if it needs adjusting.
Then adjust his school life so that 1t Is
possible for him to succeed. That is
what he is searching for. success. He
has been failing to reach the standard
he has set for himself.
His standard may be wrong and II
that is so you will find it out when
you are studying to discover the cause
Of his truancy. The whole matter must
be treated as a case of mental distress.
Not as rebellions and disobedience and
willful waywardness. School and home
and society have duty here.

If doubled they would definitely lose the
hand by giving the opponents 200 which
they could get in no other way. West
now makes his move-three hearts. He
believes the opponents can make three
diamonds, ITO points, and feels that his
weak hand fits his partners heart over

chance that they will not lose more
than 100 points in three hearts even if
doubled. Now North decides that his
hand is good enough to bid four dia-
monds. He judges that he cannot de-
feat three hearts or anyway not for
more than 100 points, while 1t is prob
able that he can make four diamonds

that he will be doubled; and minus 100

Hearts are led twice. North ruffs and
leads the ace of trumps, having no

He believes from the bidding that the

Therefore, he strips the hands to avoid
losing more than one club trick. He

lead up to the queen Of clubs, or give
declarer a ruff in one hand and a dis
card from the other. Thus the contract
is safely made. Had the trump king

er in order to avoid giving a ruff and
discard would have had to give declarer

by leading through his queen-ten. Ac-

WINTERTIME
BIZ d. o. PEATTK.
Star Gazing.

TT WINTER holds out any consoia-
ton for the nature lover, who sees
his beloved shop Of the flowers and
i Summer birds bang down its shut
ters, 1t Is the beauty OF the Winter
stars. They are not only more brilliant
in seeming than the stars seen through
the hot, misty atmosphere of August,
but the number of first-magnitude stars
visible in the Winter months Is rather
till after o'clock before the sky Is
dark enough to bring out the fainter
stars. In November and December, 1t
is dark enough from in the evening
on. to see the heavens in all their
brilliance.
Learning the names Of the stars Is
rather like learning the names OF
flowers or birds. It is easy enough to
ask some one who knows, but 1t Is a
great deal more fun to study them out
for yourself, to identify them from a
star map. And, indeeG If you don't
work them out yourself, you will never
remember the stars. Some one tells
you that that Is Aldebaran; you crane
to see where the other Is pointing, but
even so you probably don't see the star
he means; or II you do, you feel that
when you've seen one star, you've seen
them all.
No, the only way to do is to get a
little star map, preferably IL Of them
one for each month. At first, all will
seem confusion, but very soon big con-
stellations like the Dipper and Orion
will become apparent; from them you
can find all the other consultations;
then you learn to know the most i'm
portant stars in them.
One has to remember that a star
map, though north is printed at the top
and south at the bottom, has east on
the left hand side Of the map and west
on the other, exactly opposite from
ground maps. 1t is obvious that this
mirror Image plan is necessary, for in
facing up, things reverse themselves, as
compared with looking down upon
mapped land. Also, most star maps
are made to be read about in the
evening. II you go out at 5 o'clock
in December, you must turn to the star
map for November. If, however, you
are star-gazing at midnight, you must
look on the map Of January, and so on.
Star-gazing has long been a syno-
nym for irresponsible and idealistic
idleness. AS matter OF fact, the as

he stared at where the window always
had been. There was no glass there.
He was looking right into the room with
nothing between him and the inside.
You see the window was wide open.

had come for, the breakfast he had

ably can be concluded by early Spring
Speaker Rainey is more explicit. He
thinks it will be possible to adjorn by
April IS, certainly not later than May l. .
What both hope to avoid is a session
dragging into the Summer months, a
delay which would open a forum for
political debates
Nothing, it is agreed, would please the
Republicans more than to have some
thing like that happen. AS members of
the minority party it is not unlikely
that they will seek every possible oppor-
tunity to build up issues and make ma
terials for the 1884 congressional elec-
tions.
The strategy of Rainey and the DEM
ocratic leaders in the house would seem
to indicate they are keeping this in
mind and are preparing for such an
eventuality.
