FREEDOM OF YOUNti (ilkl.S.
Twenty-five years ago it was
considered very bad lusie, to say
the least, for ladies to walk the
streets at night unattended. Bui
the times are changed ! Now little
girls and big girls promenade the
streets, go into the stores and ice
cream saloons and even attend
shows with no chaperon or person
of mature years. If there come
no worse results, we believe that
such liberties allowed girls will not
only engender in them a distaste
for home, but that in their days of
womanhood the word home may
mean to them simply a boarding
and lodging house. Hut other
and far worse results are apt to
follow in the wake of unrestrained
freedom of young people to go
and come as they choose. Let
parents consider these tilings.

LUCKY FIND
WOULD YOU ONLY GOME BACK!
KAI.HII M. THOMSON, IN Till: CIIUISIIAN IIEKM.U.
NX'ould you only come back, little fellow, to me,
From the land where your spirit forever is free,
You might muss up my collar, and rumple my shirt,
You might deni every Hoor with the point of your top
And through your small fingers might fill me with dirt,
I should nevermore peevishly tell you to stop.
Would you only come back, little fellow, to me
Would you heed when I call you, and harken the plea
You might load down your pockets with rocks every day
You might spatter your best Sunday garments, my lad;
And though you should throw all my trinkets away,
I should strive to be kind, and should scorn lo "gel mad."
Would you only come back, little fellow, to me,
From that Home where you romp with the angels in glee,
You might scratch up the furniture, mark on the wall,
And deface every volume you found in my den,
You might litter the parlor and shout in the hall,
But I, never should scold you, ah, never again.
Could you only come back, little fellow, to me
Could you kneel as you used to, once more at my knee
I should hold your heart close, to atone for my loss,
And shoutd bid you to pray the dear God, who is good,
To forgive your poor daddy for having been cross;
And I feel that if you asked it, my boy, that He would !

Good by ff to (lowering lanes of green,
Thai blossomed in the radiant noons,
And frilled thir fragrance o'er a fcenc
That live in dreams of olden Junes;
Farewell lo health of anire hue,
But not good bye, Dear Heart, to you.
Good-bye to waving field of grain,
That crown a land of oil and corn;
Good bye to blended sun and rain,
With bow more brilliant than the niorn-
Farewcll to skies of sunny blue,
But still, Dear Heart the thought of you.
Good-bye to song of gondolier,
Borne down the stream to sunset brim;
The sweetest cadence of the year,
Lost in the twilight's distant rim;
Farewell to roses budding new;
But still, Sweetheart my rose, in you.
Good-bye 10 starlit rambles wide,
Through fragrant paths of Love's Lane-
The ebb and tlow of young Love's tide,
It's undertow of quiet pain;
Good bye to smiles and tears so true,
But ne'er good-bye, Sweetheart, to you.

HAPPINESS.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon one day
last winter met a friend and ex
pressed admiration for a tie he was
wearing. The next morning the
ex-speaker found on his desk a
package containing a tie, a dupli
cate of the one his friend had been
wearing, with a note to the effect
that, as Mr. Cannon had admired
the tie so much, the donor begged
permission to send one to him.
"Uncle Joe," pleased at this ev
idence of friendship w rote him a
note of thanks, and at the close
added: "I also admired the hand
some automobile you came up in."
As yet there has been no re
sponse to this last hint.
NATURALLY.
"Now, Johnny," said the teach
, "if you had six pennies and
Charlie had four, and you took
his and put them to yours, what
would that make ?"

Happiness ought to be contagi- j
ous and to make it so the good
ihings of life must be shared. Not
merely with our family but with
our neighbors and acquaintances,
our townsmen, and "the strangers
within our gates." We should use
our blessings, not put them up in
lavender leaves, or camphor balls
to keep but scatter them broad
cast, share them with others. If
we have blooming roses, share
them; if we have line grapes on
our vines, share them; if we have
beautiful pictures, invite people in
to see them; if we have helpful
thoughts give them away. This
generous method of living will
bear a rich harvest not pertain
ing in a like return but :n placing
the donor on a higher plane of
thought and giving him a broader
view of life and its obligations

TOO MUCH MATERIAL.
"Clothe women with the bal
lot!" exclaims Senator Sheppard,
of Texas. "Wouldn't you like to
see woman w earing a ballot?"
Considering the present style
so popular in certain states or ex
panding the ballot to unheard-of-proportions
and the prevalent
"skimping" of material used in
making dre??e? cut low t both
ends, we rather think that a gen
eral clothing of women with the
ballot will be impossible unless we
return to the days of hoopskirts.
STEADFASTNESS.
Many a man fails in life not be
cause he lacks ability or enthusi
asm, or a general desire to get on
in the world, but because he lacks
steadfastness of purpose.
Some men have to marry for
money or get some other kind of a
job.
