One mother, who has a brood of seven children, including two daughters, 15 and 17 years old, each earning 34 a week, sald: “With this income to de- pend on, I can stay’ at home, make thelr clothes, and keep them well pro- vided for. I used to have te go out to work and then there was no one to mind them. I was nearly worried ok, feuring that they were getting in bad company or getting in accidents. The children are all so good, but it takes & mother to watch them all the Wwhether they are little or big. I y was at the point of sending one or two to some home. Wouldn't that have been too bad? It would have broken up the family forever, Now they can keep on golng to school and come home to their mother every night” It is pre- dicted that $75,000 to $150,000 will be spent in 1912 under the new law. Judge Pinckney has objected to funds pald to mothers being called a pension fund. “No worthy mother, because she is poor and is aided, should be called a pensioner, Poverty alone should mnot be suficient reason for separating a good mother from her children. It is the duty of the state and city to sup- ply funds to keep all children at home if they have a worthy and fit mother.” THE WAYS OF THE DETECTIVE. The work of a detective is always mystifying to the general reader and he does mot see how such success is achieved. When the detective tells his own story it is seen his business is chiefly sharp scanning and accurate work. He cannot make a move that excites suspicion and he must be wary of his tongue. His lieutenants must be equal to himself in movement and secrecy. The detectives who alded William J. Burns of Chicago place the guilt, now confessed, for dynamite outrages are given full credit by him for the ‘sleuthing” which has made him fa- mous. A dozen times a false move on their part would spolied ths intricate net he wove succesafuly and Burns has Insisted on sharing the credit with his men. When it was planned to arrest Jim McNamara and McManigle in Toledo, they seated themselves, suitcases and all, in a rail- road coach loaded with women and children, .although their suitcases con- tained enough dynamite to blow every- body into bits, Raymond Burns, a son, and his men, saw that a blunder might cause an explosion, and they coolly changed the plan, waiting until they arrived at Detroit before making the arrests. When the trail had been picked up and men were set to follow- ing them, they had an unseen body- guard night and day. “And there's the trick that solves most of the de- tective mysterles in these days—the ‘tailing’,” Burns said in his narrative in MecClure’s Magazine. s what good palming is to sleight of hand. the thing the operative has to n before he can move on a case at He has to learn to follow a man on the street, in railroad trains, on strest cars, in hotels, picking him up and dropping him and picking him up again, without ever really losing sight of him and without ever being seen or suspected himself. We kept track of McManigle and Jim McNamara in.that way for months. Our men even fol- lowed them on a hunting trip, and ‘roped’ them, as we say—made friends with them and camped and hunted with them. McManigle has told us since that they never saw a sign of any one shadowing them. And they were always ‘testing’ themselves. They would turn a corner and then hide and watch to see if any one was follow- ing. They would go long distances on unfrequented streets, watching behind them. They would jump on a street car and ride a while and get off and £o in another direction in another car, and watch all the time to see if any one got on or off after them.” SYSTEmMS. ‘their EDITORIAL NOTE!

The first thing to do is to get your mind off vourself, for be- coming salf-centered results in becom- ing mentally blind—to be obscured by mental darkness.

Work is the slogan of Nature: -ud to those who work with confidence and faith gain power and every good thing that goes with it. It has been divinely decreed that man’ Fest doing in this world shall be hi best enjoyment. There is too much posthumeus ac- miration in this world. Men do not find out what nice wives they have until after they have died; and wo- men cannot praise ico much husbands they were not famous for praising when they were alive. How much better it is for partners to let one another know they are appreciated now, What good does it do when the parson_calls with his condolenc say when he says: “You have a real helpmate, brother,” “She was more than that to me, for she was 2 right arm for forty years!” How it would heve gladdcned the heart that is still to have heard such words of unsought praise. we good men and women are migaty economical of the fine phrases which are in our minds and which we are too prone to let oth- er ears hear than the ones they would have been most appreciated by and to ‘whom they would really have been in- spiration and joy. Under cur men- made laws we expect too much as a matter of course from one another, and forget the little courtesies which hearten souls nd delight them. It is not strange that mortals get dis- irited and that partners come o dis- trist _one arother under our seliish and chilly clvilized methods. We all feel that there has b great change in the climate since we were children; but when we sift the idea there appears to be no doubt that the difference is in us, not in the cli- mate. A youth recently called my at- tention to the fact that the snow was not so deep now as when he was a k!d; but you notice he Is mow more than twice as tall and the relative dif- ference of things to him has changed. The representatives of every genera- tion always notice the difference in the depth of the snow and the intensi- ty of the cold, etc., between juvenility and age; and have been doing so from time immemorial. If we understood the cycles of time, doubtless, we should find_that they run about as even as clockwork, So that it may not get too wet or too dry, Nature alternates her rainfalls and zives vs two wet vears and three dry ones; ard then alter- nates to three wet and two dry; and when the earth is getting too sour she withholds the rains to give opportun- ity for the moisture to evaporate and the earth to sweeten up; and we are distressed by the drouth as an afflic- tion when it is not possible to get along without it. We mortals find fault with a great many beneficial con- ditions. Ah, yes, we mortals are great. but very few of vs arc \ersatile. The emi- nent scholzr cannot command the re- spect of a froutiersman _because he Rasn't & good pair of legs under him and cannot cook for himself a square meal. The able preacher who Ppro- fesses to save others cannot command the respect of the fisherman along the coast if in an exigency he cannot swim and save himself. A lawyer who can tie Lia opponent all up in verblage and egal precedents cannot tie a knot that would hold a dog: and an editor who is capable of telling the authorities how fo Tun a town, a state, or the government, couldn’t run a motorcy- cle forty feet. Did you ever sit down and think how many things there are you cannot do, and how dependent you are on others? I know that I can reither, sow, reap, grind nor spin. Can't play a violin, shoe a horse, milk a cow, or doctor & cat; do not know how to lay a walk, prune a tree, or make & gum-drop; there are more than torty knots I do not know how to tie and ten tfimes that number I cannot untie. Quite lkely vou are In the same box. I am inclined to think the world's best man is the one who can do most practical things: but he doeen’t get set upon a pedestal. Why? We have been trying all the fall to clean up the garden: but we notice that it declines to remain in the form we would have it. How the little weeds have multiplied ever since the products were taken in: and Nature ttercrop trying to restore which through cultivation has been taken out of the koil the past season: and which must bo restored in order that the garden may do well; fand some of those hardy weeds will be in flower in January, and be ready to seed the whole garden in the Spring. The purpose of weeds is not to make cultivators of the soil mentally and physically industrious, but fo restore to earth what it Sorely needs. The garden is always a busy place, and the very earth has five thousand times as many bacteria at work in the soll for its betterment as there are ants scav- engering upon it. There is no doubt this 1& a living earth upon which we dwell; and we are all t0o ignorant of the forces which are employed by Na- ture to c the esarth habitable and| productive for man. The garden works while We sleep and 18 in a way as busy in winter as in summer. Nature is always forging ahead. December brings us the shortest days and the coldest nights; the dreariest landscapes and the sweetest promise. As Edna Dean Proctor expresses it: “When suns are low nnd nighis are long and winde bring wild alarm, through the darkness comes the Queen of the Year in all her peeriess charms —December, fair &hd - holly-crowned, with the Christ-child in her arma” And to the ancients December brought wel % have e’ Very uncertain o ihose who must go afoot businoss affairs or in scarch of exer- and-then, and With a merry shout pick themselves np and go on their way till chance brings them another tumble.

Our winter “wardrobe is incomplete, and_so s Sheut. tho house 1n prepara changes al use in - Ton for winter ~are mot complete and now nobody knows when they will be finished. All these negligences and sins of omission are brought to our notice Dy the first snowfall.

Old-time housekeepers set Thanks- giving as the limit, before which time the house must be set to rights, but modern ways are not so rigid, and much is now left undone which they felt must be attended to. Then 80 many now spend the winter in a mild- er climate than New Englazd can Turmisn. Only today I heard an old gentleman say that this was an un- wise plan. He greatly questioned the advantage of changing one’s residence from motives of comfort and pleasure. He belleved we needed the varlety afforded by remaining in New Eng- land during the winter. The keen piercing winds of winter are a much- needed tonic to most of us, he thought, and in his opinion the change from summer to winter should be met bravely by all and would have an ad- vantage to most beyond anything found in a milder clime during the ‘winter months. Old Mrs. Wheeler was one of New England’s notable housckeepers who drove her work and was never driven by it. Her preserving and pickling was always successful and done at the proper time, her fall sewing was al- ways completed before any of her neighbors had theirs done, while for the fall house-cleaning she would consider it a great tramsgression to have any of it left over to finish af- ter Thanksgiving. Then she went to her son John in the city at the first owfall and there remained tiil the pproach of the next 3 But this season found her somewhat disposed to spend the winter in her own home. Bo she secured the ser- vices of Huldah Price as help and companion, and determined to try the experience of a winter in the quiet country village, where the houses were set at neighborly distances, though they seemed somewhat scattered to those Mving in a closely-built city. “Now the letters are brought to our door,” she explained, “and the tel- phone is in almost every home, there is less discomfort in wintering here, and with a shed full of firewood, and my weil-stocked cellar, I am sure there will be very little unpleasant expe- rience, and Huldah is a host in her- self. ‘Then, too, I want one winter with the folks here, at the church and social doings. I am going to try it, anyway. o it was settled in_ spite of pro- tests from John and his wife, who wanted her with them for the coming season. Huldah proved herself everything delightful and a faithful attendant, and her homely philosophy brightefied up many a gloomy hour, for dullness could not exist under the same roof with her. Thanksgiving came and went and yet no snow. Mild weather followed and a green Christmas was predicted with doleful prophecies from many. These did not include Huldah, who flouted at all such forebodings, and met them all with a merry laugh for a merry Christmas. The New Year found them still awaiting the first smowfall, and Mrs, Wheeler fe that her deci n was a just one, and she had certainly enjoyed her village life to the utmost degree. _ But tl an old saying that “Winter n r melts in the sky,” and February brought them snow in abun- dance. Deep, and_without drifts, it spread over the flelds its spotiess blanket of white, such as is never seen by che dwellers in city streets. How beautiful it appeared in its purity! the Halcyon days, two weeks of tran- quillity and peace, seven preceding and seven succeeding, the shortest day ot the year, so they began on the 14th of December and continued until, the 28th.

There is no doubt that the average idea of a good sermon is the sermon which scorches the other fel- low and has considerable amusement in it for him. The self-centerad man Wwho has imprinted on his soul: “1 am not the man!” enjoys almost any ser- mon, and says they are all good, He is the exception, not the rule: solit is not surprising that the man in the pulpit finds ¥ _very difficult to com- ¢ meet the expectations of his ." I have long suspected that the paragon of goodness, with plenty ot lucre and concelt, is the greatest trial the man in the pulpit has: because his strong convictions and views of piety | soon take @& tyrannical shape towar: all who do not see things through his eyes, which are the least reliable pair of optica to view the future through.

The Apostle Paul said that he had learned to “giory in tribulations also”; but very few of the rest of us hav reached that stage of moral courage. Most of us dread, and, as far as pos- sible, we avoid those troubles and op- positions of which life is full. We are not enamored of that experience called “a hard time” It is for the purpose of finding & good word to say for trouble that I am writing this article. - If 1 should pretend, my reader, that personally 1 iike being battered and twisted about, and should undertake to commend to you the happiness at- tendant upon such proceedings, vou would set me down as a cad, and rightly. I enjoy ease and success at least as well as most men. But that a life may be too full of ease, too pracidly unruffied for its own #ood, I am, withal, firmly persuaded. A little opposition is not a bad thing for a man. An occasional snag_in his pathway will not hurt him. But for the friction of its wheels on the track the locomotive practically would stand still. Apd many a man is prac- tically at a_standstill ra effective work in the 2ause his way has been polished too smooth. The fact is that we mortals are very often helped by being hindered., The dominant races are those that have had to fight for it. The New England- er, in almest perpetuai conflict with nature, wrests a living from a niggard soll and a stormy ocean. The Pata- an reclines under a tree and plucks his food from its lowest branches. But the Patagonian plays no large part in the story of ths march of civiliza- tion. Ten thousand lotus eaters in as many years would never build the Panama canal or tunnel the East riv- er. See what opposition has done for the leaders of men! Consider how they have been hammered into moral fors as a tool is fashioned on an anvil! Washington's greatness was developed not only by the assaults of his British foes, but by the stupid oppositions of the Continental congress, Grant's mil- itary genius shons to its limit only under the superiative strategy of his great antagonist, Lee.

The reason you and I need to ponder theso great mouls Is because their ex- perlence 18 duplicated In our own, Each | one of us is pretty sure to come upon a line of oppositions proportionate to his strength.
