This is the policy which many wlsa mothers have now adopted in dial tig with t In 1 1- children. There is no moih r who wants a chil l with a broken, vacillating will which has In en aeipilrrd by brute force; nor s-hmild any right-minded mother think of her ch.'M as a n bel Just became the stir of Individuality which cmnpih him to assert himse lf seems lo her unrea sonable. 8o it Is, but It la alsio Indicative of the awakening of hla intelligent e, which meds to be trained with tact end deli cacy. The. despotic nvdher slaps her baby's lingers In order to bring his will und -r subjection to her own. It hurts ber to do so. and It breaks the baby's heart. Luter, when babyhood is past, she switches him ti) teach hlra to be obedient 8trauge t say, even this is not always tfflutl, any more than is the rawhlds on the hone. This is Ihe rule of law under an autocrat. but the mother who rules by love knows that first of all she must be able to con trol herself. She' thinks it Is absurd to meet temper with temper, for that will surely fun the spark to a flame. She knows, too, that it will be best for her not to show resentment when the child Ii disobedient. Coiuwquf ntly, she keeps her self well In hand and stops lo think before she acta. This mother's children will oher ber from love, not fear, and will develop aturally and harmoniously. They wi I no( only love, but reect her, because In justice does not enter into her dealings with thrra. When she auks them not to do this or that they ob y bemuse they have formed the habit of yielding gracefully. Tney know It is useless to nuax. A conversation held between two little glrla illustrates the point: 'Come over In my yard to play," said G-aee. "Can't." replied Jennie. "Why?" "Hera use mamma says I must stay in my own yard today." "Well, why don't you teae her tense her hiird?" "Thot wouldn't do any good, so It Isn't any use." replied Jennie.

Human nature Im nn open book to children and some of Its pages ore unerringly read by them. Vacillation and want of firmness in enforcing obedience "We founu the rogues up the road to the mountain," aaid the uzebashi, "and, of course, e or-enetl fire on them.

I dt-ployttl my men to either side In a seml-clrcle, remaining in the middle myself wllh the bugler. My men mx1 aa they advanced, and none of the insurgents showed their heads above the rucks. They held tlwir titles up and fired without sighting, exiioKmg only their bauds. "Suddenly a young man si-rang inio full view up on the rocks.

The insurgent's bullet had gone through his head, shattering the bugle, just as he was about to blow. "Auulbtr Insurgent now stepped up be side the first, a hunchback, and he tired. A sergeant braide me fell. They each tired twice again, and a man fell each time. Then the two daredevils rose, bowed, jumped bark, and the whole bund es caped." "And what do you think?" adds the writer. "After the uzebashi l-ft me I went home and found that rogue of n grandson if mine there your nephew, Tassa and he II was who shot the bugler." New York Macedonians tell another sUiry about this same Taase. The people of llailug call it the "story of young Tas:-a ami old Tasse. " It btx-aioe kttowu lo the people that an ulU man, a JtulgarUu, was a Turkish spy, are quickly seen and taken advantage of, ami a mother that can be teased Into or teased out of anything by her child will tint he obeyed. A child slimilil imt be hampered by too many rules, "limit's" should he sparingly used. Too many of them bewilder and tho child ceases to respect them. Arguing a iolnt of obedience with a child is a mistake, it leads to a loss of nerve fuicc iisiu the part of the mother and Is of no bcurTH to the child. 11 usually results In tin: discomliliire of Ihe former and the latter has its own way. Obedience first, tlun a quiet explanation, will gain the re sj.is t of the child and make it much easier upou subsequent ot cusion when one is pitted iilialtist the other. When a child becomes convinced tliat it must oIm y it will tin so, how cheerfully and willingly depends a great deal upon how early its training has begun and how much lessct Its caretaker may have in spired. A sensitive child grows restive, un der too much espionage. There Is a differ ence between watching and watchfulness. A child will try tu elude the former and generally succeed, while it will not resent the latter, for it should nut be conscious of It, except us part of the love which sur rounds it. it is not necessary for the home to lie run like a public institution, where Iron Inflexi bility regulates the lives of its Inmates. It is the soft answer tliat tumrth away wrath, the gentle hand and the loving heart, which will not yield to the unreason able demands, that conquers. Must children are tender-hearted who tliey love, and the thought that they ure paining the mother by disobedience will often keep Uiem from covert acts, when a certainty of punishment would be power less as a deterrent. Children like to have things explained to them, and sometimes a victory can be gained for the time being by diverting the mind of the most stubborn and disobedient cl.ild; but when its teiiqier lias had ttmo to cool, and its nerves are quiet, then tha subject can tie reverted to and tilings made plain and tlx' why explained. Mary's new pet kilten was chrbftened mind and was continually unking why la this and why was that, until she tired everyone out with her queries. Her mother tried In vain to stem the tide of verbal In vestigation, but at last hit upon a plan which she thought would prove efficacious. Mary's new u t kllen wns t hrlslened "Why," and the reason was carefully ex plained to tae child, who seeaiod to under stand. For it da- or two tht-i-c was quite n diminution in the number of questions, but one mornfns; she burst out with, "Mamma, why is Why's name why?" A loving. Insistent demand for obedience, If persisted In, will change a fractbais, ill tempered child into one who will tit least lie possible to live with in pence. If it does not entirely niter its nature., but the ef fort must be constant No intermittent en deavor will answer. A child soon loses all respect for n mot tier who sternly insists Mion strict obedience one day and who for gets all about it the next. All tills would indicate that mueh rests with the mother as to whether or not the pew idea of obedience is inculcated in her children. MilS.

Hut no one dared to undertake tlie task, for the spy was always gaurded by a Turkish soldier, and seldom left tho town. Finally, young Tasse volunteered hia services. For many days Tasse watched the old Bulgarian's bouse, whose name also was Tasse. One day. the voting insurgent saw him emerge heavily armed with a box in his hand which the younger man knew contained military rejiorts. Military headquarters were a mile out of town. Young Tasse watched the spy nnd his bodyguard s-t out. then he got his Mi user, which he bid in a neighboring yard, und set off on a parallel course to thut taken by old Tasse. In the smiller Macedonian towns the back garden i of the people houses open Into each other. Hy going through rows of these Iwck yards young Tasse was nut t-en.
