RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF I I k. 'S BOYS MD GIRLS A Little Talk on the Appreciation of Their Efforts. SHOULD KEEP THE CREATIONS It Is tho Pleasant "How Nice" That Makes All the Difference to the Hearts of the Children. By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERQ. An ouch child's iiiiiuu wus culled he Hepped forward uml received lrom the kindergarten the result of his ef forts ut "nmkltiK something" 'ir some ember ol the home. The children weio guy mid they were uiitlclptitlni; the Joy of kIvIiij;. It was .. nlousure to wutch them, Hut when (5euevlee's name wuh culled u new note was struck, "i'tcuse, Miss White," she said, "my mother does not want me to bother her uny more with the thliiRs I make." And Miss White laid (Jenevleve's calendar aside. It Is not dllllcult to see the point of view expressed In (Jenevleve's plain tive abueuatlon. There Is really no room for all these things ..t home. We have all the calendars t nil blot ters and picture frames and shaving pads that we really need. And as for ornaments, these things are not par ticularly beautiful, utid If they are, as may sometimes happen, they do not harmonize with the scheme of things already Installed, and, besides, they gather dust, and there are few homes that have not already too many dust catchers. We can well understand that (Jenevleve's mother was weary of calendars and bookmarks. Hut Miss White Is also weary of calendars and bookmarks. Where one mother has had half a dozen she has iad hundreds. She manages to smile, however, In spite of the clutter and In spite of the obvious monotony through a curious trick of the mind which It would be well for f!enevleve's mother and other mothers to learn. The trick Is this: Instead of dealing with calendars and bookmarks, she fixes her mind upon the efforts of the tots, she sees trial and tribulation, she sees wonder nnd experiments, where the ret of us see only crude Imitations of tulips or apple blos soms. Notwithstanding the high rentnla we have to pny It ought to he pos sible for every mother to keep each child's tokenH of struggle nnd con quest for some time nt least. For nothing Is more important to the child than that his meager nnd un successful attempts nt mastering his material surroundings should receive generous encouragement. And while much Is gnlned by having someone stnnd by nnd cheer him when he fal ters, that Is not enough. The prod uct, poor though It lie. Is the symbol of an Idea, an Inspiration, nnd de serves tho courtesy of serious and dignified attention from parents and other elders The calendar Is as wor thy of a place on the wall as any thing you enn buy nt the store, for by honoring It you teach the child that his efforts are not wasted. As for taste In cnlendnrs, lenvo that to the years. Of course It Is not necessury to display all of tho child's creations or to convert the home Into an Indus trial museum. It Is, In fact, the lut est trophy that curries the greatest Interest, nnd the latest may be mado Could Get No Satisfaction Out of the Paper Stars. to displace Its predecessor, each ef fort thus receiving Its due share of attention and appreciation. Where there are several children It should be possible to provide large paper en velopes and boxes In which these early treasures may be kept. Kvery mother knows that young children can be u nuisance and In the way Just when they are trying to help with some "work." The number of peas that the baby can shell or the area that the child can sweep will contribute little to lightening the day's work. Hut the value of the contribu tion is not to be measured thus. It Is to be measured In good will, In ap plication and In the satisfaction that comes or should come from having made u worthy effor.t nt doing some thing useful. We should therefore not belittle the achievement or muko the child feel that his assistance Is worthless. The child works In the spirit of the artist. He Is not seeking material re wards; he wants the satisfaction of doing someUiing that has meaning and he wants appreciation. Without these he will become either u shirker, shun nlng nil effort or a perfunctory grind, laboring under compulsion of A MM one kind or another. It Is therefore, ucccssurj not only that opportunities be furnWhed for doing various kinds of work, but that the first awkward at tempts be appreciated In a way that will lead to further effort. And this Is Just as true of attempts nt singing or Invention Invention of a song or story, for example as It Is of at tempts at making some object or drawing that others may handle or exhibit. While this doctrine of appreciation does not permit us to belittle the child's efforts, It still leaves us free to help tho child with criticisms cal culated to enable Kim to Increase his work. Hut we should call attention to such defects only us he Is In a posi tion to remedy himself, and without too much effort. If the doll's dress la too long, It's a simple mutter to cut It down. Hut If It's too short we note (lint It's a very nice dress, and thlnkl we'll make the next one a little long- er. The repeated emphasis on defects of design or execution may have the effect of Improving the child's taste or, Judgment ; but they are more likely toi discourage all effort. ! A child that sees too clearly the shortcomings of his efforts will refuse, to do anything at all. This was the case with fotir ear-old Herbert, whoso, sense of form was so far abend of his The Children Anticipated the Joy of Giving. muscular control that he could get no satisfaction out of the paper stars he cut out himself, and so refused, uf'tiit fitui nf tn nf InttitiliJ tt tii j;;"" - " "'"" '" " When little Allan's mother fulled to recognize the child's drawing H that of a "lamp" she was wise enough to take to herself the blame "How stupid of me I" For, after all, you can recognize even the lamp If you are told what It Is supposed to be. And so the burden of keeping keen the edge of effort rests upon us. Hut don't let the child become conceited. THEY COULDN'T RESIST HIM Young Man 8urely Had a Taking Way With the Ladles, If You Let Him Tell It "Oh, I make friends with people whenever i like," he had explained, "and they never object. They like It. They all like It." "And you speuk to strange young ladles?" "The last one I spoke to was In London Inst month. I was standing on the steps of u house In Piccadilly, watching some visiting potentates drive by, when the door opened, nnd out came the prettiest girl I ever saw In my life. She stood for a moment looking up nnd down the street, and I said to her: 'Do ou know who thnt tierce, fat man In the last carriage Is tho one who looks like n walrus?' She said : 'Oh, that's my Uncle Ethel liert.' " "Rut that was tho nd of It," Mary broke In "you didn't go on talking to her?" "The end of It," Krujer Hohbs had concluded, taking off his glove and of fering u slim bony hand "the end was that we had tea at an A. H. C. shop, and she said she was sorry she was engaged to marry her cousin, whose name, 1 think, was Lionel." From "Krujer Hohbs," by Marjory Morten, in Century Magazine. Serum to Save Drowning Persons. Experiments are being made with a serum which Is said to have been used with success in restoring cases of asphyxiation and drowning In ani mals several hours after life has been to all appearances extinct. There ap pears to be one drawback In the re sult thus far, however, In that In many Instances there have been serious alter effects such us high blood press ure or hardening of the arteries. If the serum Is to be perfected, as up pears to be likely, the physicians are of the opinion that It can be Injected several hours after the accident and icstore life. In one cuse the scrum was used on an animal that hud been apparently dead from drowning for it period of four hours. The animal was brought back to life, though It died later from blood pressure. War and the Weather. If the north Atlantic skippers who think that the bnd weather from which they have been suffering Is due to tho concussion of the bombardment In Eu rope would compare notes with their colleagues In the West India und Ca ribbean trade they might take u broad er view of the meteorological dis turbances. The storms which have been raging In the north Atlantic, the bny of Hlscay and tho Mediterranean started In thu tropics and had already paid respects to our coast before cross ing over to add to Europe's troubles. Tho skepticism of tho scientists In re gard to tho connection between wur and weather Is well founded. As for the sun spots, all that can tie snld at present Is that they ure under muh plclon.

Deep Interest at taches to eery detail lending up to Paul's l-lt to Home. Theiefore let the teacher trace Paul's Jouiney from .Mlleta to Jerusalem, which occupied about four weeks, and took place In the early part of the jeur A. I. fi7. 1. The Arrival (vv 17 'J(l). The Spirit revealed to the disciples and to proph ets thnt If Paul went to this elty ho would be In great danger, ami the Spirit was not foi bidding but only leaching him for he knew Paul had n great work to do In Jerusalem, and that he only could do It. I'.er, where Paul went he "searched for" (v 7) disciples, with whom he tarried and whom ho enlightened In the way of truth. Arriving In Jerusalem, he ap pears tn tunc made his Imtno wllh Mnason, outside of the crowded elty, thus being less exposed to danger and finding a place of rest. At a public reception (v. IS) Paul reports of his work, and no doubt he laid his strong est emphasis on what Cod had wrought through him. among the churches of Asia. The leaders of tho Jerusalem church received Ihe gifts Paul brought from Ihe ttcutllo churches, glorified (Sod for what ho h id accomplished, but saw clearly that, to accomplish bis .statesiumillko purpose, something must be done to make clear that the false reports as to Paul's teaching were discredited (vv. 20-U2). They therefore resorted to diplomacy (vv. 'iVJU). To tho ninny thousands of Jews gathered on this festival occasion In the city, some of whom were zealous for tho law, they declared first that Paul taught nil the Jews which were among the Oentlles not to forsake Moses; second, that he had not taught them not to walk after tho customs of Moses. Tho fncts were Paul obeyed tho Jewish ceremonlul lnws person ally, nn n matter of race, not hs a condition of salvation. II. The Arrest (vv. 27-fin). Paul's attempt nt conciliation resulted not In penco but In more discord. Every tnio servant of Ood Is sure to be mis represented, nnd It will not do nlvvnys to attempt to set straight all tho lies thnt nro told about him. Ood will tnke care of the lies and of our repu tations. Most of the chnrges thnt men even Christians, bring ngulnst one another are based upon "sup position" (v. 20). It wns not u new experlenco for Paul to be mobbed. An tho maddened Jews dragged him out of the temple he must have recalled tho treatment of Stephen In which he, himself, had had n hand (7:57. 58). How frequent It Is that wo, ourselves, nro In duo time treated In the snmo way In which we have trented others (Gal. 0:7). It was tho Intention of the Jews to hill Paul at onco without n trial (20:0, 10). They fancied thoy were doing Clod's service (John 10:2). This lesson Is a striking example of tho utter folly nnd wickedness of mob law. Paul's time had not yet come, nnd all the mobs on earth could not kill him until Ood permitted It. III. The Arraignment (vv. 37-40). Tidings of the riot canio to the chief captain, cqulvnlent to our colonel (Acts 23:20). Pnul wns bound with two chnlns, one from each of his arms to n soldier, secured, yet left free to walk with his guards, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Agnbus (v. 21). Mobs usunlly have great respect for sol diers, for they nro Inwardly covvnrdly. No sooner wns Paul on the stairs which led to the top of the fortress than the mob, afraid that they wero nbout to be balked of their vengeance, made n mad rush at him. with. cries of "Kill him; kill hlini" and Paul., unable In his fettered condition to steady himself, was carried off his feet and hurried off In the name path his Master had trod (John HI -If.) and he was again to hear that cry. (Ch. 22-22). During all thin tumult Paul had but one thought, how ho might witness for his Master, ntuT bring some of his blinded accusers to a saving knowledge of Christ. Thus It was that he asked for the prlvllego of speaking, and most courteously did ho mnke his request. H spoke to the cnptaln In the Creek tongue, not In Hebrew, and great was tho surprlso of the captain, Practical Application. When we nro attacked, no mntter for what cause, If wo confidently look for dellveranco nnd exerelso self-control, flod will tntye care of ns. Such conduct Is disconcerting to our enemies. Diplomacy U often dnngcrous nnd misunderstood. Circumstantial evidence Is never of great value. Thero Is, however, n desirable form of diplomacy ob when Paul nddressed the soldiers In his native tongue. Paul's prlnclplo wns In essentials, firmness; In non-essentials, liberty.
