Sledge OE I The Discontinuance of the Use of : Whiskey at Harn Raisings j Christiana Dickson, the wife of ! one of the first settlers of Erie ; county, Pa., was a small, blue- eyed, low-voiced woman, exireme ly timid, hut she had u horror of drunkenness, says an exchange. She lived in the days when the use of liquor was universal, liui when her sons were bom, she re solved to put a stop to whiskey- drinking, in her home. Her hus band being absent, her brothers called for the help of the neigh bors, according to custom, lo put up a barn, needed on her farm. They all assembled and went to work, whilst she prepared a great dinner. After an hour or two, whiskey was asked for. She re fused to provide it. Her brothers, and, at last, an elder in the church, came to rea son with her, to tell her that she would be accused of meanness. Without a word the little woman went to the barn, and baring her head, stepped upon a log and spoke to them : "My neighbors," said she, "this is a strange thing. Three of you are my brothers, three of you are my friends. I have prepared for you the best dinner in my power. If you refuse to raise the barn without liquor, so be it. But I would rather see the limbers rotted where ihey lie than 10 give you whiskey." The men angrily went home, the little woman returned to the house and for hours cried as though her heart would break. But the next day every man came back, went heartily to work, en joyed her good dinner, and said not a word about whiskey. This led to the discontinuance of the use of whiskey at barn-rais ings in the country. Her sons grew up strong, vigorous men, and did good work in helping to civilize and Christianize the world; their descendants are all of a high type of intellectual and moral men and women. If she had yielded this little point, they might have become, like many of their neigh bors drunkards. M A N l' F ACTl! I!

Over the river they beckon to me Loved ones who've crossed to the farther side; The gleam of their snowy robes I see, But their voices are drowned in the rushing tide. There's one with ringlets of sunny gold, And eyes, the reflection of heaven's own blue; He crossed in the twilight, gray and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal view, We saw not the angels who met him there; The gates of the city we could not see; Over the river, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome me ! Over the river, the boatman pale Carried another the household pel; Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale Darling Minnie ! I see her yet, She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands, And fearlessly entered the phantom bark; We watched it glide from the silver sands, And all our sunshine grew strangely dark. We know she is safe on the farther side, Where all the ransomed angels be; Over the river, the mystic river, My childhood's idol is waiting for me. For none return from .hose quiet shores, Who cross with the boatman cold and pale; We hear the dip of the golden oars, And catch a gleam of the snowy sail And lo ! they have passed from our yearning heart They cross the stream, and are gone for aye; We may not sunder the veil apart, That hides from our vision the gates of day. We only know that their barks no more May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea; Yet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore, They watch, and beckon, and wail for me. LITTLE BY LITTLE. Little by little the time goes by Short, if you sing through it, long, if you sigh, Little by little an hour a day, Gone with the years that have vanished away, Little by little the race is run; Trouble and wailing and toil are done ! Little by liitle the skies grow clear; Little by little the sun comes near; Little by little the days smile out, Gladder and brighter on pain and doubt; Little by little the seed we sow Into a beautiful yield will grow. Little by little the world grows strong, Fighting the buttle of Right and Wrong; Little by little the Wrong gives way Little by little the Right has sway, Little by little all longing souls Struggle up near the shining goals. Little by little the good in man Blossoms to beauty, for human ken; Little by little the angels see Prophecies better of good to be; Little by little the God of all Lifts the world nearer the pleading call. COOD-CHILDREN STREET. There's a dear little home in Good-Children Street My heart turneth Fondly today Where tinkle of tongues and patter of feet Make sweetest of music at play; Where the sunshine oF love illumes each face And warms every heart in the old fashioned place. For dear little children go romping about With dollies and tin tops and drums, And, my ! how they Frolic and scamper and shout Till bedtime too speedily comes ! Oh, days they are golden and days they are fleet With little folks living in Good-Children Street. But, when Falleth night over river and town, Those linle Folks vanish from sight, And an angel all white from the sky cometh down And guardcth the babes through the night, And singeth her lullabies tender and sweet To the dear little children in Good-Children Street. Though elsewhere the world be o'erburdened with care, Though poverty fall to my lot, Though toil and vexation be always my share. What care I they trouble me not ! This thought maketh life ever joyous and sweet: There's a dear little home in Good-Children Street. EuNGt-NE Field. MEN TO MARRY. Fcom "Truining the Uirl," by W. A Mck'eever, (Maimillian).

Louli, Ml.auurt One of our boy friends suys his mother is the best friend he has besides being his mother. "Dad's pretty clever," he says, "but moni nier's my chum.' We often think how fortunate thai boy is His dearest friend is his nioiliei, ;md no one has to guess tli.it she is a woman of ideal type. "Me and maw's just like this," be said, clos ing both hands together. "She's always giving me what she knows I like to eat, and mor'n that we've got a date to go to the Bijou every Thursday night. Maw told me one of her secrets, and that is thai she beats the grocery bill out of enough every week to take us kids to the movies. I've got a kid brother and a cute little sister, and maw's just as much their Iriend as she is mine, but so long's she does n't get too gay and honey those i kids mor'n she does me, I'm goa j anna stand in with her " ! I here is a mother who has a I line on the kids instead of a rod. 1 She does not slip away from them ! and see the picture show by her ; self that is on Thursday night. That is their night off, and each i one of them knows three big men President Wilson, Jim Howard, and Percy Wells. Thai is a true bill. Don't lose I . sight of the idea that mother can i make herself the best Friend of her j i children. She can get their conti- dence as no one else can. Chil 1 drcn who are scolded and sent to bed, so mother can hsve all the fun herself, grow up with the idea that the only time they will ever have is when they can get big enough to climb out the window so they can see what's going on down town. While dad's busy worrying about making the living, there is on mother's shoulders the tremendous responsibility of mak ing herself the friend of the chil dren so they won't place where the boys and girls are compelled to stay till they get to thinking home is some sort of horrid place. It is a poor home from which a girl hopes to escape when some sort of beau takes a notion to claim her, or the boys long for the time when they can get out and be "a man among men." The chummy mother is worth her weight in gold, and when the declining years come apace, her children will be her companions in the day that solace is worth more to her than the gold reserve in the United States Treas uryWashington Star.
