SLEEP BRAKES IN OilDEIt
AT THE approach to every danger
ous turn of a state road Is n sign
which reads:
I GO SLOW.
The automoblllst who has keen
wenso und good brakes heeds the warn-
lug. Ilo gets around the turn with-
out unythlng happening to hltn.
Tho speed maniac, or the man whoso
braked ure out of order, keeps right
on. And wo usually read of one or
both In the accident columns of the
newspupcrs, sooner or later.
Tho road we all must take is pretty
well marked with warnings, although
It takes experlenco to read some of
them.
If wo hnvo the brako called will
power, nnu keep It in trim, we nuvo
nothing to fear from the dangerous
places.
If our judgment Is bad und our will
power likely to glvo way wo never get
whore wo uro going, except In u very
badly damaged condition.
Theru Is no occasion for such great
hurry that the warning signs must be
over-run.
On tho road to wealth, and especial
ly the road to pleasure, tho wurnlngs
are very abundant.
Yet thousands and thousands of
people run past them every day, with
tho usual disastrous results.
Thoro lav little enough time In the
avcrugo llfo. Wo must all work rap
Idly If we ure to get u good lifetime's
work accomplished In tho working
years that uro allotted us.
But we cun ulways slow down at the
risky corner, provided wo keep our
will power In condition, und use the i
Judgment that ought to be a part of
our mnkc-up.
Tho ''too much play" turn In tho
road Is more dangerous than tho "too
much work" corner, but It Is well to
slow up at both of them.
i Then tho "overindulgence" nnd "Into
jhour" spots cull for ulmost n halt.
Head ull tho signs nnd observe them.
It Is delightful to speed along the
road und feel that we shall got where
two uro going In Jig time. v

THE GARDEN INVISIBLE
QINCE tho first memorable day In
which you ventured forth with a
fluttering consciousness of your won

world that It could never hope to
make permanent progress without
lyour help, you have, let It bo said,
iwith duo allowances, been digging,
planting, raking und watering In tho
'garden Invisible.
And this is your garden, your very
own.
Everybody In this stonu-troubled
isphere has one, so you aro no excep
tion. The sunbeams play hldo and
'ecok, nnd tho storms bent at regular
'Intervals, ns tho gods will. And
Btrango to say, you curry tjds garden

But muny Bpeeders who do not seo

NOD-A-VILLE
TO THE qunlnt old town of Nod-a-Vllle,
Out there In tho Sundown West;
Just over tho crest of Slumber Hill,
Where the evening chudos He cool and
still,
And the birds have gone to rest
To a quaint old house on Quiet Street,
Deep shaded by Sleepy Tree,
While the sighing breeze sings low nnd
sweet
My babies three with me.
DIck-e-Dum marches with nlr sedate,
And Murgy-ree -hulf-past two
Waddles along with n queer-toed gnlt,
Worried for fear thnt she may bo lute,
And the dark blot out the view.
But Charlotte May brand-new you
know
She couldn't climb Slumber Hill
So she rides a kneo the Journey
through,
And the only comment she makes la
"goo-goo,"
On the yuy to Nod-a-Vllle.
i
In the quaint old house they, softly
creep
As the sun sinks In the west;
And kneeling there In the silence deep
They whisper thejr "lay mo down to
sleep," j
And In God's strong arms rest.
O. Nod-n-VIlIel Through all the night
May nngels wntch o'er thee;
And when the morning has dawned
clear, bright
Send back their faces rosy alight
My bnbles three to me.

MY CHILDREN'S WORTH.
By Mrs. Charles t. Kelly,

carrying with It a cash prize of $100.
My neighbor has prospered. His
home is tho last word In modern
architecture and equipment. It is hla
hobby. He loves every board nnd
block nnd nnll In it. He surrounds
it with grnssy plots nnd shrubs and
flowers, and adorns It inside nnd out
according to his sense of nrtlstlc
grace nnd beauty. Not only Is his
homo u source of pride nnd satisfac
tion to ray neighbor, but by its beauty
nnd grnce nnd general attractiveness
it sheds distinction and adds to the
aluo of the property round about it.
Now, my home Is a modest affair.
It needs paint nnd tho roof does not
cover It as well us the mortgage.
What is meant for a grassy plot
shows bnro patches like the exposed
portions of n little boy's trousers.
And. Instead of grnceful, flowering
vines, my house Is overrun by llttlo
rosy ramblers who clamber about
scraping off tho paint and leaving
muddy streaks in their wake. There
nrc five of them, and all the hard
work, sacrifice nnd enro they menn
to mo Is ns nothing compared to the
pride I have In their elenr eyes, clean
minds nnd sturdy bodies. To the hope
hold In their future tho present
struggle to keep them clothed, housed
nnd fed Is n smnll uffalr. They repre
sent my family estate. To them I
hope to leave an inheritance of
character and courage. And to tho
world I shall bequeath, not largo sums
for charity, schools or hospitals, but
a family of men and women equipped
to take up the problems of life.
But when my neighbor begins to
talk about taxes I have an uneasy
feeling that, according to his way of
looking at It, I should have drowned
these dimpled babes before their oyes
were open. Ilo has It figured out to
a penny how much It Is costing him
to educate one of my children. Now,
I am paying taxes, too, but for nine
months of tho year my children nre
under the 'supervision of trnined
teachers, men and women of unques
tioned character nnd high Ideals. It
doesn't seem to me that they are re
ceiving exorbitant wage. But my
neighbor hns no. children'. To hlra
school is just n building thnt cost
too much' in tho first place. Is costing ;
too much in the upkeep nnd doesn't
glvo back a profit to the town.
I believe my neighbor is wrong.
My children have a monetary value
to tho town. For their needs my
earnings ure spent. I buy from him
such things ns he hns to sell, thereby
adding to his riches. I go farther.
I am not raising pigs for profit, nor
cattle "for the mart, but raw material .
for th.o nation of tomorrow. They
are not mine alone. They bolong to
my neighbor as well. It is to his in
terest as well as mine that thoy be
come fit nnd useful citizens. As they
are trained, as they are educated,
they will develop. Tho community
has a part In that development. My
neighbor has no more right to spread
propaganda for cheap schools, a nig
gardly system that will dwarf the
future of my children, than I have
to throw trash in his front yard.
