Mr. George E. Hunt Is a Maldstona
farmer, who writes a Canadian Got
.eminent agent as follows: It was tbt
jflrst week In November, 1907, when wa
arrived here. There was very llttls
snow or cold weather until after tbt
"holldnjs, then the snow and cold In
crenaod, but to no great extent I think
the coldest I heard of was 30 degrees
;bclow lsero, but that degree of cold
(Would not be felt here any more than 10
degrees below iero would be back boms
In Michigan, owing to the beautiful,
fivy atmosphere of this country. There
came a good thaw every month that
at.'ttled the snow, the fields soon became
bare and on the 12th of April I com
menced ploughing. The snow was then
all gone and summer at band. This
last reason was something more than
an average year around here with flat
crops gathered from a large acreage.
In parts the crops were less than av
erage, but generally sneaking they were
above It. The price of wheat was quite
'good. Some flue yields sold at $1.10
per bushel, while some were marketed
at much less, but hardly any went be
low about 60 cents a bushel.
I Oats started on the market at S3
cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents
and flax from 00 cents to $1 a bushel.
' As this was my first year In this
couutry, It was a hard year for my
horses owing to their being Ha stern
horses and 'not used to the Western
cllmnte, but thoy will soon get dl
mntizocl. The soil on my farm Is a black loam
bout one foot lu thickness. Below
that we find about six feet of clay and
below that again gravel and sand, with
an abundance of excellent water. Tbla
was tbe condition of the ground as I
found It when I dug a well. I can say
that the water Is as sweet and as free
from alkali and Impurities as I ever
aw.
: My opinion Is that tbe man who
comes here with a little means can do
Bo better than Invest $500 or $1,000 In

and small lakes and sloughs will afford

tle. The bluffs witb a few bay or
straw sheds will make sufficient shelter
for tbem. There Is no need to worry
bout the market for cattle, as there
ia already a great call for stock of all

The Sunshine
of the Family
.-
CIIAPTER XVIII. (Continued.)
Misftle had plenty of rood sense, and
f no longer stifled it; her conscience
told her that she. would never have sin
fed so grievously ngninst her father if Eva
md not undermined her principles by her
flattery and playful words of ndvice to be
Independent and assert herself.
A veil had fallen from lier eyes; she
no longer saw Eva's conduct In the same
light, and as she grew better, and Eva
rmifflit opportunities td lie with her. the
disillusion became more complete. Missle
found herself wondering over her own In
fatuation. Had Eva always been so loud
n lier imnners, so tinfillnl in her behavior
to her mother, so unkind to Anna? Missle
it first grew critical and then reproachful.
.Strange to any, Eva accepted her rebukes
very meekly evidently her affection for
Missie was sincere In Its way, for she
(rifc some pains to please her, and even
tried to break herself of her faults. I'ut
for lier unlucky engagement with Captain
Harper there was every probability that
Missie might have Influenced her for
good ; but her approaching marriage aoon
drove all salutary reflection away.
As Misaie's violent infatuation for her
friend cooled, she turned more and more
to Alison for sympathy; and here at leaat
she did not find herself disappointed Ali
aon returned her affection warmly.
Missie was a little exacting aa an In
valid, for aha was still separated from
her fatUer, and, alaa! there waa still
cause to be anxious for him.
Dr. Greenwood never told Alison what
be had feared : but after a few daya,
when he and another doctor had consult
ed together over the case, he told her
and Roger that there waa certainly aome
i&rgree of mischief In connection with the
spine; It would be many months per
haps a year or two before he could
rise from hia couch.
"We certainly hope for his complete
recovery in the future," he continued, re
assuringly, aa Alison turned pale and
Roger looked unhappy. "Another Inch
and he would never have moved his limbs
again ; but now things art not so bad.
Mr. Merle will aave his books, and they
will go far jt eonaole him In his enforced
lnac.kj.'
Dr. Greenwood waa right in bis con
ecture; Mr. Merit took the tidings very
quietly.
"I told you your broad shoulders were
made for something," he said, looking at
hia son with a smile., He and Alison bad
tome to bid him good-night
The nurse had not been dismissed,
though it waa already arranged that
Uoger should take ber place In bis fath
er's drearing room.
"I shall have to leave rhe mill In your
hands. Greenwood gives ma no hope of
being fit for business for tha next year
r two."
"I will do everything I can, father,"
returned Roger, sorrowfully "but I feel
awfully cut np about It all."
"There la no need for that, my hoy,'
returned Mr. Merle."" "I should not won
Jer If you do better at buainees than I,
Roger. Perhaps this will be less a trial
to me than you suppose. I do not deny,
at course, that it is a trial ; tut still,
with my books and children I shall try
to be content."
"We shall do everything In our power
jo ease your mind," returned Roger,
bravely. Rut he aaid no more, and short
ly afterward left the room, leaving hia
father and Alison together.
"Roger feels this dreadfully," ahe said,
inxious that her father nhouh! not mis
inderstand his son's lack of worda.
"Yes, my dear, 1 know he doea," re
turned Mr. Merle, with a sigh. "I am
fortunate to have such a son. To think,"
le added, with emotion, "that I could
tvef have been so blind aa to believe that
rillaln'a Innuendo against him and now
the whole busiuess is in hia hands."
"You can trust him fully, papa."
"Yes, better than I can trust myself.
Alison; that boy la true aa ateel, and
hill not fail me. I wish 1 bad found
(t out before. I remember your aunt
hlana once saying to me that 'if I stud
ied my children aa well aa I did my
looks I should be rewanled for my pains.'
15 y the byt, Alison, what doea your aunt
lay to all thla unlucky accident?"
"We have not heard from her," re
lumed Alison, In, a low voice. "Roger
wrote the very next day after Uie acd
(ent, and I wrote the next day; but wa
lave had no reply."
"That Is very unlike Diana," observed
Mr. Merle, In a surprised tone.
"Roger say that ahe can not have re
reived our letters, papa; you aee she la
in Switzerland, uad perhaps ahe baa
evlnted from tlie proposed routes that Is
Just her way ; If ahe takea a fancy to a
place ahe will atay there for a day or
Iwo, and then ahe doea not get her letter
for daya. If w do not hear from ber
oon. Roger think I had better writ to
Mr. Moore. It doea eem so strange"
ker 1 eyea filling with tear "that Aunt
01 ahould not know how unhappy w
save been."
"1 believe you are fretting after her,
Alison you art quite thin and fragile
looking."
Rut Alison denied thla with a great
deal of unnecessary energy. Sh waa
only a little tired; but now Mabel waa
getting better ahe would be able to have
S walk sometime.
"Rut you must not talk any more.
papa," she finished ; "you are looking
rather exhausted. Nurse Meyrlck will
be her directly ; may I read to you a
little until the come?"
Mr. Merle shook hia head aadly.
"My dear, I should like It of all things'
but you know Ir. Greenwood ha for
bidden any kind of study for the next
few weeka, and I never cared much for
worka of fiction, except Sir Walter Scott."
"I meant a chapter or two out of the
Rible before you went to sleep," re
turned Alison, blushing with timidity.
A sudden shadow passed over Mr.
Merle s face.
"I did not understand you, ray dear,"
he aaid, with a little effort. "Well, child,
do aa you like that aort of reading can
not hurt one."
Alison felt the permission was accord
td rather ungraciously, but still ahe dared
not refuse to avail beraelf of it Sha
brought the Rlble Aunt Diana's elft
and aat down quietly by her father's side.
Tha volet trembled a littlt as sht read,
but aba did not know how tweet it sound
ed in bar father's ear. Once wheu alia
looked up she found hit eyea fixed on her
race, and stopped involuntarily.
"Shall I leave off, papa?"
"Yes. that will do for tonight! von
may read to tut to-morrow. You are se
like your mother, Alison; eh waa fond
of her nfble, too. Yon art a good girl,
aa iui trttr car.
Tivir dear mamma. Flow hard If must
he for you, papc. to lie there missing
her."
"Ah!" he said, arertlng his face, "It
la a lifelong loss. I think Ir never knew
any one no good not eren Diana could
eommr with her. Do you know you
reminded me so mmi of her that day
when you wanted me to go to church.
Child, your reproachful eyet quite haunt
ed me. Ah, well! If ever I get well "
He paused with a algh.
"You will come with ua then, papa,"
she said, softly.
"I hope so, Alison, but I fenr It will
he a long time before I have the chance.
When a man has looked death in the face,
as I have, who might have been hurried
Into eternity without a moment's prepara
tion, he thinks a little more seriously
about things. I hcrpe I am grateful for
being spared 1 think I am. You shall
come and read to me every night If you
like, my dear; it Is a grand book, the
Rible."
Alison's heart was too full to onswer
him, but as Nurse Meyrlck carne Into
the room at that moment ahe leaned over
and kissed his forehead.
"Good-night, dear papa; I hope you
will sleep well."
"Good-night," he answered, cheerfully,
"and give my lore to Missie."
Alison felt strangely happy as she left
her father's room; It seemed to her as
though they were coming closer to earh
other. 'There had been a look In her
father's eye and a raresaing tone in his
voles that told her that ahe waa becom
ing very dear to him. She said to hersplf
in her young gladness that Providence
had accepted her sacrifice her father's
heart was no longer closed to her, and
Mabel was beginning to love her. "Ask
and It shall he given to you," waa abun
dantly realized In her caso so true it Is
that love begeta love, that the Divine seed
of charity sown broadcast, even over bar
ren hearts, will atill yield aome thirty
fold, some sixty-fold, some hundred-fold.
Alison's tranquil rest that night waa
only a preparation for a moat trying day.
Missie had left her bed for the couch
that afternoon. When Alison had placed
her comfortably, the had gone down
stairs for a few minutes to apeak to
Anna, leaving Mis Leigh in charge. Anna
detained her longer than uaual ahe had
ao much to say on the subject of Eva's
approaching marriage, and while Alison
was still talking and listening, Miss Ieigh
hurried down stair with a very pale face.
"I wish you would ome," she said. In
much agitation ; "Mabel Is so very hys
terical I can do nothing with her. Per
haps I have been incautious, but she ques
tioned me so closely as to what the phy-
aicians said about her father that I could
not avoid telling her."
"Oh, dear, what a pity. I meant to
have told her myself when she waa bet
ter," ohaerved Aliaon, somewhat reproach
fully.
Miss Leigh's tact was often at fault,
and she had chosen an unlucky moment
for breaking the news to Missie just
when she was weary with tha fatigue of
dressing.
Aliaon found her in a sad state sob
bing bitterly, with her head hidden In
the pillows and for a long time ahe re
fused to allow Aliaon to raise her Into
a more comfortable position. To her re
lief, Roger entered the room and asked
immediately, In his downright manner,
what was the matter, aad why Missie
wna making herself 111.
This brought on a fret burst.
"Oh, Roger! what shall I do? Poor
papa !"
"It la poor Mabel, I think," observed
Roger, kindly, and he raised the sobbing
lft tie figure In hi arms and brought the
wet face into view. "I declare, child,
you are a perfect Niobe. Allie, what are
we to do with her?"
"He will not get up for months per
haps for years and it Is all my fault !"
cried Mlsaie, passionately.
"Perhaps so, my dear, but do you aup
pone all theae showers of tears will do
father any good?"
"I must cry I ought to cry when I
am ao unhappy," returned Missie, Impa
tiently, and trying to free herself.
"No, my dear, no," was Roger's quiet
answer; "you have given us all so much
trouble that you ought to spare ua any
noisy repentance; the beat thing yon
can do tor ut all la to get aa well and
happy aa yon can, and help to nurse
father."
CHAPTER XIX.
Mlaale left off crying and stared at
Roger. He told Alison afterward that
those half-drowned blue eyea made him
feel quite bad but then Roger waa such
a toft-hearted fellow.
"Yon do not understand," she aaid at
last, very slowly.
"My (tear little eister," ha aaid, tak
ing her hand, "I do understand, and ao
does Alison, and we are both agreed on
thla point. Repentance la apt to be trou
blesome If h be carried beyond due bounds
and, in fact, It can degenerate Into
selahnesa and you are really very aelf
iah alwut this."
"Oh, Roger!" exclaimed Alison, a lit
tle thocked at thla plain speaking. Rut
Roger knew what he was about; he was
determined, aa ha aaid quaintly, "to aeal
up the fountain of Miaaie'a tears."
"Ia bt not unkind?" returned poor
Misale, plteousiy. "He calls me eollwli,
Just becauae I am ao aorry about papa."
"Wa tr all aorry, Mabel," returned
her brother, serloualy, "though we do
not go about the house westing the floors
with our team, like medin-val sinner. I
declare It makes one quite damp to come
near you It la really bad for your health,
my dear."
"Now you are laughing at me," ahe
replied, pettishly.
"True, and that la the unklndeat cut
of alt. I It not? Rut I am not laugh
ing vhen I talk about your selfishness;
you see you are Just going against Uie
wise old proverb, 'Never cry over spilled
milk.' The mischief is done, my dear,
but every one in tbe bonne has forgiven
you for llng the caue of it, and now
you must forgive yourself'."
"Oh, I can not," she said. "I shall be
miserable until papa ia well."
There apeaka aeltishness," he return
ed, quickly. "My dear Mabel, why think
shout yourself at all? why not think how
tired Alison looks, and how you niav
spare her? I am mire a cheerful word
from you would do her no end of good."
Missie seemed struck by his words.
She looked at her aister rather scrutinix
Ingly. Certainly Alison did look pale,
and there were dark ring round her
eyes. Roger aaw bis advantnge, aud
went on.
"You have no idea how people in a
house act and react on each other a
depressing person Is like a perpetual fog.
I think I aliall coin that aiwech aa a
proverb. You know I am a bit of a
philosopher Roger the aago- itmt aounda
well."
Miaaie'a lii curved Into a tmiile; a
little dimple came Into view.
"Come, thal'a about the real article
a little more, and wa ahall have a rain
bow affect," observed Roger In a delighted
ton. "Now, wa bav the whole thing la
working order. Yon have dona wrong
and. bean sorry for It good " wltk an
Impreanlv paise; "new you ;:re going t
do heifer, and not think about youmelf
at all, but how yon are to make ns all
happier. Good again. Thirdly and lastly,
you are to turn over a new leaf and cul
tivate cheerfulness and that sort f
thing."
"I will try," sighed Missie, raising bar
face to be kissed, "hut It will be dread
fully hard."
"Most things are hard," was the philo
sophical reply; "but we shall never do
much good in the world by sitting in the
dust and casting ashes on ourselves that
sort of thing doean't seem to belong te
the present dispensation."
"No, It Is 'I,et the dead bury their
dead,' now," observed Alison, In a movd
voire. "Now. Roger, you may leave Mis
sie to me; she is tired out, and I am
going to read her to sleep."
"Rut I am not sleepy," replied Missie,
reluctant to let Roger go, but it showed
her new submission to Alison that she
made no further protest only aa Alison
rend, Missie lay quiet, with a softened
look in her eyes. Y'ea, ahe would try
and bear it ; they should not be any longer
troubled.
"Tbank you, dear," she said presently,
as she noticed how Alison's voice flag
ged ; "the look is very pretty, but I want
yon to leave off now and take a turn in
the garden. Do please, Alison, it is such
a lovely evening, and It will do you so
much good. Poppie can come to me, ahe
is a good girl and does not tire me."
"Are you aure, Mabel dear, that yet)
con spare me?" asked Alison, anxiously.
"Quite sure," was Missie's snswer, an4
then Alison consented to leave her. Sht
was conscious that her strength waa fair
ing her a little; the close confinement and
anxiety for the last fortnight were trying
to her constitution ; broken rest at night
often followed the long day's work. Sht
was pining, too, for a wod from her dear
est friend. She hod written two days ago
to Mr. Moore, questioning him about Miss
Carrington's movements, but had received
no snswer from the confidential aervant
who acted as the blind man's amanuensis,
and, in spite of her efforts to be cheerful,
Rhe was feeling dull and deserted.

DESPONDENT HOQ A SUICIDE.
life Without Mud Waan't Worth
Living, So He Died.
"1 see that a meluncholy mule com
mitted suicide over In Kansas City,
Kan., the other day," said tbe old cus
tomer, as related by tho Kansas City
Journal. "Thoy seem to think that'
wonderful, but I've seen things that
bent Jumping over au embankment la
a fit of despondency."
"When I wus n kid on a farm out
In Northern Kansas we had a pig which
the hired man's wife raised from the
time It was big enough to squeal. She
kept It In tbe yard, which was fenced
In, and never allowed Jerry, as she
called him, to get muddy. She had an
Idea that It wns merely habit, not an
inborn trait, that made pigs wallow lu
the nivtd.
"But her dope was wrong. As soon
ns Jerry got bl enough to have ideas
of his own he wanted mud. When it
would rain he would try as hard as be
could to break tiirongh the fence or
Jump over so as to get out In the mud
dy rond. Tho yard was well sodded,
and nt first he couldn't find any mud
spots In his Inclosure.
"Finally, though, he discovered that
If ho dug down lu the ground he would
find dirt, and one morning we found
that he had dug up tbe sod near the
pump and had a mud hole. We couldu't
Imagine how he got the water, but
watched him the next nljclit ,und found
that with nlmotft human Intelligence he
pumped the water himself Into a bucket
that was kept standing near and then
tipped over the bucket. The pump waa
arranged so If thero was no bucket un
der the Kpout the water would run into
u drain.
. "How did he pump it? Pushed the
handle up with bin iuso and down with
his front feet. We stopp!d that by put
ting him In a clean pen with a floor In
It. But Jerry had had one mud hath
nnd ho longed for more. He would
numn most plteousiy at night and we
wanted to let him out with tho other
pigs, bui the hired man's wife threat
ened to quit if we did. 8he thought
ns much of Jerry as she did of her
children, nnd ehe couldn't bear the
thought of having him dirty, enjoying
himself with the other pigs.
".lorry began to grow itvn. He for
tuerly hud a cheerful Ux.k In his eye,
but now thero wns no longer the health
ful. Joyous glitter when I came around
with his fo.Ml. He actually begun to
get pale and he wouldn't oat much.
"He dclilierarcly planned suicide.
Mfe without mnd wasn't worth living.
First we caught hint trying to cut his
throat with Ills front feet. We cut his
too nails aud made them harmless.
Then he tried to drown himself by
sticking his head In n pull of water, but
through ror.i of habit ho drank up
all the water before he was drowned.
"That gave him nn Idea, and he tried
to drink himself to death, but we never
gave li 1 ut enough water at one time.
And still the hired man's wife couldn't
bear to let htm out with the common
herd. Itogllke. he never thought of
starving himself to death, although
worry cut down his appetite consider
ably. "Finally he accomplished the desired
end. We found him lifeless In his
spotless pen one morning. We called
the family doctor the hired man's
wife would not stand for a veterinari
an. He examined Jerry and found that
he had died from lack of respiration.
Jerry had held his breath until he suf
focated." And the old customer wiped
a tear from his left eye and sadly
thought of the pig who couldn't live
without mud.

"Do you think you nro benefited by

"No," niihwered Mr. Slrlus Rarker.

TUMULT IN THE SEA.

A sailing ship rounding Cnpe Horn
was caught In a dead calm, something
almost unprecedented In that stormy
latitude. The sky was Aimed with n
light haze, ami the sea was flat and
lead colored. About 10 o'clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fish poles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with a clatter. It was like
striking a rock, only the shock was
less pronounced at first, but Increased
In violence during the thirty seconds
It lasted. The sea heaved Id oily
swells with a strange, hoarse murmur,
and It continued to be agitated after
the tremors censed.
Half an hour later fish by the thous
ands began to rise to the surface until
It was covered with them. Fortv-
seven whales were counted, many cow-
nsn ruily eight feet across, sharks
without number aud seals bv the hun

witn ttio rorce of some terrific marine
upheaval, nnd when struck with n
pole by one of the sailors showed only
iaini signs or lire, in twenty mln
Mtes after the first fish arose to rh
surface they liegnn to drop out of sight
like pieces of lead. Whether they were
stunned and, on recovering, Immediate
ly dived enenth the waves In a pnnlc,
or wnetner they died from the shock
and, instead of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques
tions too deep for the skipper, but half
a dozen of tho smaller fish hauled
abonrd by the cook for dinner wer
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued twenty-four hours longer be-
rore tne ocenn resumed Its usual nsnect
and a wind from the southeast per
mitted the ship to continue Itu course.

Name for New Inventions.
F.very now Invention excites the word
amkers. A few years ago the adoption
of the electric chair lu place of the
gallows for the killing of criminals
called forth the 111 formed "electrocute"
and "electrocution." After Roentgen
made his discovery, dozens of attempts
were made to construct a word from
Greek roots to express the process and
the result ; but popular common sense
discarded them all, and Roentgen's own
tentative "X-ray" Is all that has a vig
orous survival.
And now Marconi's device for tele
graphing without wires Is greatly exer
cising those who would add to nn al
ready overloaded vocabulary. "FiiH.jr.i
phy," "undlgrnphy." "teleradiography,"
and other still wre compounds nre
suggested. The fact Is overlooked that
"telegraphy" docs not signify the use
of wires, nnd Is therefore applicable
to the wireless system; so thut tho
simple "wireless telegraphy" Is exactly
accurate.

Hides hill and woods, the river, and tht

Delayed, all friends shut out, the houae

Around the radiant firelace, Inclosed
In a tumultuous rivacy of storm.
Come, aee the north wind's masonry.
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with rejected
roof
Round every windward stake, or tree,
or door,
Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild
work
So fanciful, so savage, naught cart he
For number or proportion. Mockingly
On coop or kennel he hang Parian
wreaths;
A swanlike form Invests t',ie hidden
thorn ;
Fills us the farmer' lane, from wall tt

Mauger the farmer's signs; and at tbt
gate
A tapering turret overtops the work.
And wheu his hours are numbered, and
the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished
Art
To mimic in alow structures, atone by
stone,
Built in an age, tho mad wind's night

The frolic architecture of the auow.

V I.ur (J Down to Sleep.
We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest;
Whether to wake and weep ,
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave Is cool and low
Have we found life so fair
That we should dread to go? ,
We've kissed love' sweet, red Hps,
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found.
But they who love us best.
When we are under ground,
Will laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take;
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast, sweet Death,
If so it neenieth beat
To Him who gave us breath
That we hhoulil go to rest.
We lay us down to sleep;
Our weary eyes we close;
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more, He knows.

DOS'T RIDICULE YOUR BOY.
Let lllm Fallow the tiaetal Tendency
Mat are Mar Have Implanted.
Many a boy has gone to bed lu tears
bt cause his futher criticised or de
nounced his effort nt playing the violin;
made fun of a simple little composition
ov story which ho wrote; discouraged
his attempt to make some little uie
chaulcal device, or threw a wet blauKet
on his dreams, laughing at Ills predic
tion of what be would do in tin? future.
A man who has recently .nine luto
great prominence in his profession says
that when, tremblingly, he told his
father what he wanted to be, he was
told that a padded cell was the only
place for a boy with such crazy Ideas,
and that he wns forced for years to do
that which God had forbidden in every
fiber of his being, nnd against which
every drop of blood In him protested.
The father who has made up his
mind that his son must continue hU
business and keep his estate- Intact, Is
not lu a position to decide on the boy's
bent his special aptitude, lie Is pre
judiced nt the very outset.
The reason why there are so many
mediocre men and women in the world,
and so many failures. Is because they
never found their right places.
Everywhere we seen men nnd women,
capable of much better things, who
were discouraged and diverted from
tlieir natural bent when young. Their
own families did not take stock in
them; they laughed at their young uui
iiltlons. and strangled their aspirations,
either by harsh treatment, or, what Is
even worse, ridicule; and their teachers
did not undeisland them.
You cannot read the sealed message
which God has wrapped up In your boy
or girl, aud you should regard It lis sa
cred. You should respect the dreams
of future greatness of your son, be
cause the Creator may have Intended
him Tor u grnnd and far reaching mis
sion. You cannot tell what Is going on
In his mind; you cannot tell what pos
slblllties Hre locked In his brain. He
may be perfectly conscious ut this mo
ment that he was Intended for a much
higher place In the world th i i you iim
occupying yourself, und to denounce
him, to scoff nt his dreams, to laugh at
his predictions for the future may be a
source of great humiliation to yoq
some day. II may also work Incalcula
ble Injury to your boy. A thousand
times better strike him with your
hand than blast his hopes by ridicule or
by a cruel, chilling, cutting word.

The tip question has become such a
nuisance in Mexico city that some time
ago tbe government of the federal dis

nately the public prefers to tip all
these people rather than to hear them
selves called by the far from sweet
names that such people apply to non
