Love-making on Shipboard. I By Harriet Quimby. the promenader on the ocean steamer, the first day out, la | _ _l>l m iuc ueueui on uis amusemeiu Dy a cursory siuay or I WW I deck-chair occupants, the latter are being diverted by an lnvenLmjbjJ tory of the promenader's physical and sartorial attractions?and IS^SjwSI . they are quits. Quite aside from the scenery and novelties which IbSmiJ the steamer will reach presently is the favorite amusement in which all indulge?that of watching the budding and gradual development of the little romances which are as much a part of a cruising steam- ( er^s life as is the throb of its engines. Not infrequently a month of combined companionship, such as the decks of a Hamburg cruiser affords, results in serious heart entanglements. This may be the reason why so many rich but not especially fascinating misses, and so many poor but apparently eligible youths, both matrimonially inclined, are to be found enjoying the impromptu friendships of ship life. If one is endowed with a sense of humor, the mental tonic < may be felt from the first day, with no other exertion than observing life's \ wuitay presented on aecK.?Leslie's Weekly. \ & ' &F & ! Fathers As Boarders In Their Own Hornet* c By Dr. Madison C. Peters. I learn to love is the great business of life. Edmund Burke said that every care vanished the moment he entered his own door; t t took flight at the smiles which greeted him from those he loved geggggii and who loved him. KtCW&ffll Home was intended to be a place wherein to grow; not ^ IgaBBf merely to eat anil sleep?to rest when you get tired, to be nursed when you are sick, to entertain one's friends or gather one's ^ treasures. Honfe was intended to be a place where heart speaks to heart. 1 Unless married people are so sympathetic that they grow closer together { the never-ceasing round of companionship may cause abrupt, impolite behavior. ? Fathers seem to forget that they have duties, too?they come and go as though they were merely boarders in their own houses. Fathers plead the demands of business.. But what business so important ! as the duty a man owes to his own family? No worldly success can atone for { failure there. i No worldly treasures can compensate for the loss of your own jewels. 1 But men are busy, pressing plans, gathering money, chasing honors, building up a name?while their children grow away from them. ] Homes there are where the sceptre is iron, where affection is rpnressed where e child is never kissed after the baby days are passed, and where confidence is a stranger. Childhood, with its opportunities, comes only once?what is done to stamp 1 it with beauty must be done quickly. 1 No matter how wise the mother may be or however well her part be done that does not free the father from his shnrc of the responsibility. Duties can- < not be transferred. j Socrates wondered how men who were so careful of the training of a colt , were indifferent to the education of their children. Yet men give more thought to raising cattle and building up business than to the training of their children. ^ou cannot do everything?something must be neglected?but to let the 1 home duties be crowded out is a fatal mistake. i The father who is too stately and dignified to play with his baby or help ( the little ones in their games not only lacks one of the finest elements of greatness, but fails in one of his duties to his children. You owe it to your children, as one of their inalienable rights, to make them happy. 1 The richest heritage you con give 7our child Is a tender memory of a hapov home. I.et your love flow out and pour itself down without stint into the ' young heart; and so you will brighten the davs when your children have gone out from the sheltering home, and the memories will be safeguarded in time of temptation and a conscious help amid life's stern realities. J Mrs. Alexander in the glow of fame and fortune sighed for the little moui> ta!n cot among the hills of "Dark Tyrone" in Ireland: "Mine was a lonely mountain cot Girt round with berried rowan trees? i Oh. for one burst on that hill's face I'A -I..- - .V . ? ... u s>*c- a muusana aays UKe tnese." 1 A thousand days of luxury and learning, of silken slotn and gorgeous i greatness, of envious ease and dazzling dignity, of gilded glory and flaunting < fame?all for just one short hour on a shamrock hill in old Tyrone! Th" hisrhest ideal of home is a secluded spot where loving hearts dwell, and dedicated to improvement. It is not a school of staid solemnity ar.d rigid discipline, where virtue Is a 1 task and progress a necessity, but an easy exercise where obedience is a 1 pleasure, discipline a joy, and improvement a self-wrought delight. 1 & m m Justice Always H^s % Struggle for Life i F?v J oil n K. Le Baron. 1 in his advice to 'Cromwell, sounded the keynote of char- ' Wacter?"Be just and fear not." Justice is the noblest word in the English language. That it j a?? is so little in evidence, sometimes even in its own courts, merely goes to prove that the millennium has not yet been sighted. > ISSmJ Judge Cleland, of Chicago, bemoans the fact that the law la ( based on the principle of revenge. He says: "The science of justice should teach us that charity and reformation should | take the nlace Of revenae nnrl ruin " It Is well that Justice Is blindfolded, or she would certainly blush for the ] wholesale injustice dispensed by some of the corrupt political "justices" who preside In our minor courts. A recent article in one of the monthly magazines by George Kibbe Turner ' forcefully sets forth the political evils and frightful lack of justice that char- ' acterize our public court3. I Yet, in epite of all these influences, justice, in time, generally gets a hear- I login no way is justice more beautifully exemplified than in instances where j i contemporaneous men of note, rising above all prejudices, pay tribute to the'r fellow men. ! Such an instance was Jefferson's saying of Monroe: "His soul mieht be turned wrong side outward without discovering a blemish to the world." Or Grant's tribute to Sheridan, whom he declared "one of the great sol- 3 41ers of '.he world, fit for the highest commands." : Or the same magnanimous general's estimate of Sherman, whom he pronounced "cne of the great men in our country's history," adding, "as a general 1 know of no man I would put above him." The famous march to the sea was Grant's scheme, but after its successful ' accomplishment he wrote: "The whole glory belongs to Sherman." ? Grant was always generously Just. ] One of the grea'est injustices which ever hlotted the pages of American i history was the RoBton Massacre of 1770, when, as John Hancock forcefully 1 expressed It, "drowsy Justice. Intoxicatc-d bv the poisonous draught prepared < for her cup. still nods upon her rotten seat." I Justice has ever had to fight for its laurels. In the original draft of the Declaration of Indenendenee there -was a strong i clause prohibitive of the slave trade, but the selfish interests of South Caro- , Una and Georgia succeeded l-i having it stricken out. Jv?3tlce was defeated in the interests of personal gain. Greed has always been the arch enemy of justice. This is as true in our commercial life as |p our political affairs. ' The commercial octopus seeks to throttle honest labor, and honest labor ceases to he hcnost when it permits its greed to blind it to all sense of justice i If men could rise above themselves to a plane of absolute justice the labor < problem would solve Itself. No cause can be rightly settled that denies justice to both sides. When Daniel Wehster was a young lawyer he discovered a poor woman . ter.'lng a plunk from his front yard. He followed her, at a safe distance, wntil he saw her enter her own desolate home. The plank was used for fuel. ' The ne*t morning a load of wood was delivered at that door.

Wylie, county treasurer, who manipulated the adding machine and rendered valuable help otherwise has computed the number of agricultural liens in force in Chester county this year, as recorded 011 the books in the clerk of Court's office. The number of such papers to date, exclusive of the great number that are never recorded, is 2,287, and the amount of indebtedness contracted by the parties who have given these liens is $472,969.54, though in many cases, and, in fact, the majority of cases, it is stated in the lieu that the lien may be extended to a certain other figure, which is named. Mr. Cornwell concludes that tUe amount given as the total of all liens in Chester county may safely be increased by one-half, to give the exact amount of moneys and supplies advanced 011 the lien system. The amended amount will be in the neighborhood of $709,454.21, making with what is advanced on unrecorded liens and chat tie mortgages ubout one million dollars in the way of crop credits for Chester county outside of open accounts.
