MISSIONARY MEETING.
Methodist Ladies Hold Interesting
Meeting Tuesday.
The Woman's Missionary society
of the Methodist church had a splendid
meeting at lthe church on Tuesday
afternoon. Fourteen members
and three visitors were present. The
officers were in attendance. It is always
a splendid thing to have our
officers in their places. Visitors are
warmly welcomed. If there was a
single 'thing not just as it should
have been surely it is this: Not all
the members remembered to meet
with us. Every member is needed
whether we feel this way about it or
not. No perfeon can fill your place!
Not a one! But we are glad for the
right good attendance we had.
The subject for our meeting was,
"Adolescent youth, our opportunity*."
The president read some verses
from St. Luke, which tell us of the
child Christ /who questioned in the
temple, and was obedient to his parents.
Prayer was offered and a song
was sung. A member read "A true
story of city missions," which showed
us our duty as a church to girls
in general, but to working girls in
particular. An article "Child labor
in North and South Carolina" and a
poem "Whir of the wheels" was read
also.

Dodging the Beaten Path.
Congressman Robert L. Doughton,
of North Carolina, smiled the other
evening when the conTOrsation at a
smoker turned to reversing the order
of things. He said he was reminded
of the case of Bowers, relates the
Newr York Times.
Bowers met a benevolent party on
a railroad train one day, and as the
acquaintance ripened a bit he began
to spread before the other the history
of his life.
"When I was clerk in a grocery
store," remarked BOwers, among
other things, "I received only 9 a
week, and like many other young
men I fell in with bad companions
Kooron tn camhlp T "
auu u^au tw "I
see," interrupted the benevolent
party, sadly, "you were tempted
and took money which did not
belong to you."
"Oh, no," cheerily responded Bowers.
"In less than a month I won
enough money to buy the grocery."

,
Children Overtrained.
Josephine Dodge Daskan Bacon
has undertaken to give her readers
something a little more substantial
than mere fiction. Moved by the necessity
for protest against what she
calls "pathetic rot" in child culture,
Mrs. Bacon?who is a mother as well "
as a writer?tells the public frankly
that children are fussed with and
fussed over entirely too much. "Many
modern theorists," she says, in the
' New York Times, "believe that a
} child's mind is an empty space which
' they must constantly try to fill.
' What dangerous nonsense that is!"
Then she continues:
"This constant prying into a child's
mind is a ruinous thing. A child
' has his own rights; he should be allowed
/his own individuality. The
modern American-woman has a fatal
fondness for analogy?that is why
> she is so fond of Maeterlinck. Some
one tells her that a child's mind is
like a garden in which she must
plant beautiful flowers, and she
seizes the idea with tremendous en
thusiasm. If on? of my children had
a mind like a garden I wouldn't let
it come any nearer me than the
laundry. I haven't the remotest
idea what my children do with a
great deal of their time. They go
aiway somewhere and yell. They
have a' perfect right to do so, just as
grownup people have a perfect right
to play bridge or read 'Robert Chambers'
novels."
If we will stop our "prying" long
enough to think about it, we shall
very likely see a good deal of truth*
in what Mrs. Bacon says. Children
nowadays, it must be confessed, are
hedged about with "Do's" and
"Don'ts" to an extent that leaves
them little latitude for initiative of
their own. As a result, Mrs. Bacon
says, the modern American child is
appallingly lacking in initiative. It -
- sbp
IS UYT7X liailiCU, UT&1U1V/IVU| wuw
charges, and finally over-Montesorried.
It ought to be let alone more.
There is too much supervision, too
much restriction. The consequence
, is seen in the fact that its capacity
' for independent thought is much less
. than it used to be. And as for selfreliance,
children lack it as much as
/
they lack initiative.
Of course, Mrs. Bacon is probably
indulging in the feminine fondness
for hyperbole. Things are not so
bad as she thinks, or says, they are.
But the grain of truth is in the ut- ,
terance nevertheless. Children, as
she says, are entitled to more independence?to
all, indeed, that they
I can use to their advantage. And
they are, as she charges, "too much
studied and supervised and directed."
Lengthening the apron string is not ;
a bad thing to try now and then.
Meaning Defined.
"What is the. difference," asked
the teacher, "between caution and
cowardice?"

afraid."

AMBASSADOR IX TROUBLE.
Recall' of Austrian Minister is Requested
by the U. S.
Washington, September 9.?Ambassador
Penfield, at Vienna, has
been instructed to inform the Austro-Hungarian
government that Dr.
Constantin Dumba no longer is acceptable
as an envoy to the United
States and to ask for his recall.
.Secretary Lansing formally announced
th? action tonight. - It was
the answer of^the American, government
to Dr. Dumba's explanation of
his intercepted letter to Vienna out
lining plans for handicapping American
plants making war supplies for
the allies.
Ambassador Penfield was instructed
by cable yesterday to deliver the
following note to the foreign office:
"Mr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador at Washington,
has admitted that he proposed
to his government plans to instigate
strikes in American manufacturing
plants engaged in the production
of munitions of war. The information
reached this government
through a copy of a letter of the ambassador
to his government. The
bearer was an American citizen named
Archibald, who was traveling under
ah American passport. The ambassador
has admitted that he employed
Archibald to bear official dispatches
from him to his government.
"By reason of the admitted purpose
and intent of Mt. Dumba to conspire
to cripple legitimate industries
of the people of the United States and
to Interrupt their legitimate trade,
and by reason of the flagrant violation
*<6f diplomatic propriety in employing
an American citizen, protected
by an American passport, as a
secret bearer of official dispatches
through the lines of the enemy of
Austria-Hungary, the president di
9 14
recta me to inform your excellency
that Mr. Dumba is no longer acceptable
to the government of the United
States as the- ambassador of his imperial
majesty at Washington.
. "Believing that the imperial and
royal government will realize that!
the government of the United States
has no alternative but to request the
recall of Mr. Dumba on account of
his improper conduct, the government
of the United States expresses
its deep regret that this course has
become necessary, and assures the
imperial and royal government that
it sincerely desires to continue the
cordial and friendly relations which
exist between the United States and
Austria-Hungary."
Going to Headquarters.
Karl Fred Bondy answered the
-telephone. An excited woman was
on the line, says the New York Railway
Employers' Magazine. "Is
this the New York Railways?"
she asked.
"Is the general manager there?"
"This is his office, madam."
"Well, you know how warm it was
this morning, and then how terribly
cold it turned shortly afterward?"
"Yes, madam."
"Well, my daughter, Nora, went
down town early this morning and
she wore only a light waist and skirt.
You know how the people keep the
car windows open in the summer
time, and I'm afraid she'll catch her
death of cold coming home. Can't
you issue an order to have all the car,
windows closed today?"
Warned in Time.
Former President Taft tells this
story himself:
"There is a lad of my acquaintance
in New Haven who used to bite his
nails. 'See here,' said the nurse to
him one^day, 'If you keep biting your
nails like that, do you know what
will happen to you.'
" 'No,' said the youngster, 'What?'
" 'You'll swell up like a balloon
and burst.' ^
"The boy believed his nurse. *He
stopped biting his nails at once,
about a month after the discontinuance
of the habit he encountered me
at luncheon. He surveyed me with
stern disapproval. Then he walked
over and said to me, accusingly:
" 'You bite your nails?' "
Ireland's splendid police system,
the Royal Irish constabulary, numbering
over 11,000, does not utilize
a single typewriting machine as far
as is known. All communications
from the constabulary offices
throughout Ireland, whether addressed
to other police officers or to outside
correspondents, are written by
hand. In other respects the organization
is thoroughly modern and excellently
equipped.

A FREAK CALF.
Calf, Less Than Year Old, is Milked
> Regularly.
1
Mrs. H. J. Lynch, from out on the
creek, tells us that she has a calf not
yet seven months old which is giving
more than a quart of milk twice a
day. It seems that when she would
go to milk the cow her little daugh- '
I ter thought to imitate her and played
milking the calf. After a time the
little girl spoke of how much milk *
she got from the calf. They tried
not milking the calf one night and
by the next morning the calf was
bellowing to be milked just as loudly
as the cow. Many people have
v<
been out to see the calf milked. One
day last week two or three automobiles
full went out. The calf is half
jersey and half holstein and the
j cream from her milk is as yellow as v
j gold. Suppose somebody else try the
experiment.?Lake City News.
* Advertising Necessary. * .

A distinguished and level-headed
man
who knew what he was saying,'
.
once said, "Advertising is to business
what steam is to machinery." That
" he was right every shrewd and sue- .
cessful business man knows, for it is
through advertising he wins success:
) But in almost every town there are
merchants who seem to prefer a very
low head of steam, and not unoften
no steam at all. And the funny ,' \
thing about it is that they don't seem ? ; ^
to see why their competitors who advertise
freely and attractively get the C
customers and make money while
5 they drag on far in the rear.? , . *
