VOL. VIII.— THIS, II UNO THE 0111! By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS It is interesting' to note how oui i earliest understanding of a word stays with us. When I was young the word trouble stood in my mind for some wrong or evil done by one person or persons to others, and not for any affliction sent by Providence. A pa rent was troubled by misconduct or the part of his children. To say that a man was in trouble meant to me that he had violated some law of the land or of morality; while to say it of a young woman definitely implied that she had lost her most priceless pos session—her chasity. Trouble meant shame and disgrace. And to this day I find myself hesi tating before saying that anyone has “seen trouble.” Sorrow, grief, misfor tune. bereavement, all may come; but as long as we are not in trouble we can hold up our heads. Miss Perkins, our Secretary of La bor, seems to have put her feet into something besides shoes in discussing the revolution that would ensue were the South shod. It is amusing to read the various reactions of Southerners which grade from amusement to deep resentment. Putting shoes on the South might not cause a revolution, but one it safe in saying that at this season of the year, it would cause numberless re bellions. Nell Battle Lewis in Sunday’s New; and Observer said that one of child hood’s most precious memories is of going barefoot and feeling warm sand between the toes. Another fond memory with some ol us is that of walking in the soft, black thick, unbelievably slippery mud that is left in lowgrounds by a freshet Its smooth squishy warmth can nevei he forgotten, though coupled with ii are recollections of unexpected falls brtTgirig ruination to clothes am strong disapproval from these in au thority. As a child I never heard a preachei mention Paul's “laying aside every weight” as a preparation to running a race that mv fancy did not at once pic ture him as taking off hi> wintei shoes. Last week I noticed in a manufac turer’s ad that good jar rings would Ik priced five cents a dozen this summer l went into a Zebulon store to buy some that 1 di.l not actually need tha’ day, because 1 wanted t<> see if oui merchants were up t<> date on prices And, there they wen —good, thick guaranteed rings at five cents a dozen just as the ad said.

By MADAME ROCHE Help children in their moral development without let ting- them see it, that they may have the illusion of acting- alone. i Talk to them of an imaginary ladder whose summit is perfection and on which they must climb at least one rung each day. Find out their exact needs—do not put their coats on I them when you are cold, but when they are cold and when it is cold weather. Be frank and loyal. Reproach them scarcely at all when they confess of their own accord, even praise them for it. Betray no weakness. Be infinitely tender and infinite ly firm. Make use of their very faults for correcting- them. Never be their servant. Be their aid, their friend, their mother. 1 1 have known mothers who loved their sons so blindly that they would have been guilty of any cowardice for their sake. Respect their growing personality, separate their small lives from yours. Young and old should not live alike. But do not let them encroach; each mem ber of the family should remain in his place. Help them to develop; do not keep them children and weak for the satisfaction of dominating. 1 hey should he kind toward all, but especially toward the less fortunate—more polite, more deferential, more indulgent and more tactful. Do not keep them too confined, let them see the vast world; they must have a chance to compare, even to run risks; prepare them against the day when they must leave you.—Selected by a subscriber.

Asses All— At the beginning of things, when the world was young, the donkey was esteemed by all the tribes as the wis est ot animals. A certain -lieik owned a great herd ot these sagacious beasts, which was the pride anil joy of his life. Othei sheiks came from ail around to listen and marvel at the wisdom of the herd. At such a time came even the Pro phet himself most learned and wise of all the son- of the East. With much 1 glowing pride this sheik led him out to it- herd andsaid: "Behold, O Prophet! he wist and talented a.-ses; converse with them, te-' them, and see if verily, they are riot wiser than forty trees lull of owls.” "Then the Prophet addressed th< ■ms. “Let us test thy wisdom.” h> -aid. “Answer me this question: ‘What would an a- require for a three days' journey?’ ” And they counseled among th"in -elves and made reply: "For a three days’ journey.

"Very good,” quoth the Prophet "that -i.undetri like a fail and propel n re," Whereupon the Sheik brok« into loud chuckle- and -aid: "Did I not tell you they an- pa--dug wise?" The Prophet answered: "Wait." and he again addressed the asses, “1 have a three days’ journey to make but I will not give thee six bundles of hay and three bags of date- for making it. I>'t him who will go for less stand forth.” And behold they all stood forth and began to talk at once. One t#>uld g» for six bundles of hay and one hag of dates, until finally on- long-mred .- I .—s agreed to go tor in<* bundle of hay only. Then spoke the Prophet: "Fool,’ quoth he, "you cannot even live foi three day- on one bundle of hay. much less profit for the journey."
