If a married man dreams he’s
a batchelor it’s a sure sign he
will meet with disappointment
when he wakes up.—Chicago
News.
The attorney General of Mis¬
souri has ruled the Lord’s pray¬
er and Bible reading out of the
schools of thit state, as being
contrary to the law, He says
the statutes forbid any and all
forms of religious worships in
schools, and he holds that recit¬
ing the prayer and reading the
Bible are forms of religious ex¬
ercise.—Savaunah News.
Here is a story that fits cur
rent events;
A little negro was mail carrier
on a small route in Georgia,
He managed to give offence to
a big bully, who threatened to
horsewhip him. “I’m only
little niger," * he called oat, -but
if you hits me you hits de Unit¬
ed States,” That is the way
with dipomatists who say nasty
things about American Presi¬
dent.—New York World.
Our industrious farmers are

this the best crop year in many
years.

A polieceman of Macon claims
that the negro washwoman of

white patrons between the time
they take them to wash and

It is amusing to watch an el
lection in Douglasviile. and hear
the many funny things that are
said, Monday an old darkey who
had been caught in the float,
came out from the noils, and
landing on the ground at the
foot of the steps, a broad smile
played across his wrinkle-wreath
edface, and he exclaimed; - ‘i
wanted to vote fur Mr. L'psher
mighty bad, but dat fo’ dollars
wus much fur me.”
Don’t Reprove At Bedtime
To send children happy to bed
should be one of the mother's
most ordinary tasks. No little
one should dread the bedtime
hour,nor fear the dark, nor be
allowed to go to rest under a
sense of disgrace or alienation
from hou hold love, What
ever the cl Id’s daytime naugh¬
tiness may have been, at night¬
fall he should be forgiven, and
go to rest with the mtober’s kiss
on her lips and her tender voice
in his ears.
Hardly anything can be worse
for a young child than to be
scolded or punished at bedtime
The mother does well to be a lit¬
tle blind at some things, remem
bering that a good deal of chil¬
dish culpability is superficial
only, and washes off almost as
easily as does the dirt which the
evenmgbath .... removes tom e the *t
skin.
Tne main thing wi th children
is to have them well started
with good principals, which
will carry through life. Obedi¬
ence, truth, unselfishness, puri¬
ty are essentials and these can
all be loviugly cultivated - and
will flourish iu the right home
atmoTphere -
When the nursery brood is
undressed and in bed, the lights
turned law, the room quiet for
the night, the mother, or nurse,
or elder sister, or the kind aun¬
tie, who is still found in some
fortunate houses, bo i Id have - a
fund of stories on which to draw
for t ie small listerne-s’ phasure
before they embark on the train
for dreamland.
Imagination is very active in
little children, and occasionally
one meets a mother who does
not understand the chid’s world
having forgotton her own early
days and their illustrations, or
who is afraid that fancies and
imageries will lead her
child into deceit. While
most exact and rigid
ness should be practiced in our
dealings with children, and they
themselves should be taught to
shun equivocation and
form of lying, stiff we need
fear to let imagination give them
pleasure.
They early learn to discrimi¬
nate between the false and the;
true—or, perhaps it would be
better to say, that they learn to
find the truth wrapped iu the
husk of the story. The same
j stories, with variations, have
in all ages and climes been
taught to children, and they
have their origin in fhe needs
and the heart of the race. Ohi|
dren thrive on .•dories and are
the better able to grasp other
literture if eayiy fed on these - —
