MOTHERS, W ' We were forcibly struck the othe** day by the truth of a^ remark made by a man who at the time was under serious difficulty over the crop that had sprung up from the wild oats he had sown when a boy. A little friend of. his was pouting over some chastisement. When he gently remarked "Take all your corrections kindly and be thankful to any one who cares enough for you to tell you of your j ? mistakes or warn you when you first begin to go astray. For," "he continued sadly, "the more corrections you receive and profit by when young, the less you will receive from the world when older." A truer statement was never uttered. What a responsibility, then, upon parents. Will it pay to close our eyes to the fact? All our corrections should be made with an eye to the future-as well as the present. There should be a principle involved. Let our children see that it is our duty to punish them sometimes, never a pleasure. In our desire that their young lives be full of joy and gladness, will it be wise to refrain from imparting to them a knowledge of the strener realities of life? Will it pay to allow them to go untaught? We must teach them so Judiciously the difference between the trend upward and the trend downward, that of their own accord they will eschew those pleasures of a doubtful nature. We cannot guard our boys and girls too closely. Many a fair flower languishes and dies before its time. It will not pay to close our eyes to the signs around us, thinking our boys and girls proof against these influences. Above all things, teach the girls to be natural. Do not allow them to get into these simpering giggling, foolish ways that so many young misses appear to think smart, and yet do not cause them to feel that you desire to put 'old heads on young shoulders." Far from it. Let young people be young people still, but the WHY ARK Alili CLOWNS HAD? One of the Riirnuiii nod l?aily Contingent Explains. (From The New Work Jurnal of Commerce) Every day at least 50 sour-faced men may be seen entering Madison Square Garden by twos and Ur^es to take the parts in the Bar urn and Baily cirucus which is housed there. They are the clowns, the men who make all the fun for the children and who act as if they had not a care in the world. One of them, caught off duty yesterday was asked the reason replied that being gay was work for said that beings gay was work for them. "My only form of relaxation is to be sad," he said "Anyway, you never saw a clown really smile. His grin Is painted on his face. And many times it is very fortunate for his Tepulatton as a funmaker that it is. I think a clown is just like the wandering minstrel of old. He has to make the rounds of the oval, doing his stunts again and again and trv ing to catch the eyes of the people In the audience. A thetrtcal comedian has his audience penned up before hint, and they either have to watch or go to sleep, but our audiences bave plenty of other things to look at and you-ve got to work to catch their attention". But that the clowns do get the attention, pariculary of the children, is admitted by the cirucus owners, who go down deep in their pockets to buy the fun. The older patrons can appreciate the skill or daring displayed in the rings, but the waves of glee are inspired by the clowns, who work hard for them. The clown is the busiest man in the whole circus. His performance is Continuous from the time the band strikes up until he has ridden the finish ot his burlesque of the animal race, made up, perhaps, as a monkey or dodo. He rehearses rehearses every morning to keep in pratice and to keep up with the times. When he Isn't rehearsing or performing his own arts, he is likely to be found serving as the hind legs of the trick donkey, or the front legs of the educated giraffe. And when he is doing none of these he la scratching his head in a wistful pursuit of some new idea that will please the ringmaster and bring down the house.

Nothing is of greater importance than the choice of friends. If your companions make you unhappy and discontented, if they rouse what is I wrong ana resenttui in your nature, shun them as you would a hateful pestilence. If your companions help you to look at life hopefully, to labor cheerfully, and await results patient ly; If they inspire you with bright sweet thoughts and aspirations for whatsoever things are pure and no. hie, if they help you to live and to grow up to what is best in you. then 'grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel." The most of our farmer folks are plain livers; their homes are without modern-impiovements, and the boys and girls who got out of such homes to where all their actions are timed by the ringing of a bell, where electric lights and steam heat and hot and cold baths with all the other attractions and conveniences that abound, at once can see the great discrepancy between that and tlieii home life, and dissatisfaction is at once implanted. They want some easier, cleaner and speedier way ol making money than farming, and sc get their kind parents to use the lit tie they have laid up for age, it: training them for doctors, lawyers professors, cashiers, etc. The coun try has many farmers who have beer iniproveri8hed and their last dayi made destitute by children they un wisely tried to help on to businesi prosperity.

IX FARM WORK. We live too much to ourselves. ! Brother Farmer. We don't make enough use of our social opportunities?our opportunities for cooperation. fellowship, comradeship, in every form of farm life and work. I)r. T. N. Carver brought out this idea very strikingly when he said recently: "It is not 'the hard work or the exposure or even the poverty of the farmer or his wife which makes farm life so unattractive to so many of our people. It is the lack of team work. I have never known men and women, particularly young men and ! women of our race, to shrink from I uaiusuip u iney couui teel the touch I if elbows and have the sense of com i radeship which the soldier has. Our 1 boys and girls as well as the men, and women of the'farm should develop team work. They should get together and work together for a coin , mon cause as the soldiers. Touch el-; ( bows with your neighbors, and get he sense of comhadeehip as soldiers ,! do." And Dr. Carver is right. We don'* cooperate enough in either our social life or in cur actual farm labor. Two or three men working together side . by side will do more and do it more happily than will the same men , where each man works by himself. > Why shouldn't we think more, there ( fore, about the question suggested for discussian in Local Farmers' t Unions this month: "Cannot We as Neighbors Join Together More With Teams, Hands and Machinery ip t 1 Doing This year's Work?" , j Fellowship in work in unmistaka. | lily one of the things most sorely , needed on the farm; and the lack j of this fellowship largely accounts , for the greater attractiveness of 3 "public work" to so many people. If _ 1 farmers with adjoining farms would t join together more in breaking land planting crops, chopping cotton, cul? tivattng corn, don't you believe we j should all be happier and find farming more profitable and satisfying1 A little glimpse of the practical ap1 olication of this idea was given by a * I Horry County, S. C.. correspondent ; some time ago. who wrote us: "Puhlie works have taken the Negro out ^ of our rural regions, so jolly red v faced boys and girls exchange work j in the strawberry and tobacco seasons and it all gets done " ' The unfortunate fact seems to be that in recent years we arc having e less rather than more fellowship, j comradeship, cooperation In farm work. When the writer was at work ^ on a Southern farm the neighbors x all got together for log rollings in spring, wheat and oat tliressing in j summer, corn shucking and hog j i killings in fall, and "house raisings' in winter whenever a neighbor wished to put up a new building, while we ! had neighborhood meetings to help out sick neighbors as occasion re-1 quired In between times, to say noth. ing of quiltings for the women folk 3 and purely social meetings.

BENNETT-TER Sir William tells the following amusing story to prove the importance of medical men being very evplieit in their derections to their patients. A young foreigner who consulted a doctor about his health was advised by the medico "todrink hot water an hour before breakfast every morning." The patient went away promising to do as he was tola, but a few days yuter he returned and complained that he felt much worse. "That's cruious!" said the doctor. "did you do as I told you and drink the water an hour before break fast every morning?" "I did my best, sir,'" was the reply: "But I couldn't keep it up for more than ten minutes at a time!"? Pearson's. .. < v THK I N KNOWN DKAD. "I do not wish to rise among pale| faces. I wish to be surrounded by red men." That was the dying equest | of the old Iroquis chief. "1 wish but a place to pillow my head on the bos1 om of my mother state,' was a similar request by Gen. Wade Hampton. It is but a natural instinct for persons to wish to die surrounded by loved ones and to be buried close o them in death, as In life. This arises from the human instinctive belief in the immortality of me soui. rue mummies and sepulch res of Egypt, the catacombs of Rome the burying places of the American Indians, our own family graveyards, these all prove the veneration in all times for the bodies of the dead. And the body is but the temple the temporary tenement of the soul. What must be the sorrow of Euro pean mothers over the countless unknown dead made by this terrible | war? They are mothers, and mother hood and mother love is the same the world over. Those long scar? on the 1 bosom of nature are the wounds under which lie the bones of hundrels of thousands of boys, young men ar.-l fathers, all murdered in the pagan cause of aggression, of the butchery Wf many that a few may be given power and wealth. There are more dead from this war than was the total enlistment in the Confederate army for four years. We mourn for those who occupy "unknown graves on the battlefields of Virginia." We have a special feel ing of sadness and pity when we visit our cemeteries, in some places in this state, and there see in the Con. I federate enclosure numbers of head-1 stones marked "Unknown." But we should not mourn for their sail I | state. Pericles, the famous old Greek ! warrior, said In his renownel funer-1 ' al oration. "The whole earth is the tomb of illustrious men."
