The Home Circle
In these days of degeneracy
and lack of gallantry, every
parent should insist on knowing
the whereabouts of daughters
after eight o'clock at night. Too
many nirla there are who are
permiuted to roam the streets at
their own free will at almost any
time of night, and who ultimately
oome to some bad end. We are
not a croaker, neither do we
believe in taking away the free-
dom, to a reasonable degree,
from the girls and boys, but we
do believe there would be fewer
heartaches, fewer broken homes
and more purity and womanliness
in the world did every parent
keep the child off the streets at
unseemly hours.
Many an unwise parent works
hard and lives sparingly all his
life for the purpose of giving his
childred a good start in the
world, as it is called. Starting
a young man out with money
left by his relatives is like tying
a bladder under the arm of one
who can not swim. Ten to one
he loses the bladder and goes to
to the bottom. Teach him to
swim and he won't need the
bladder. Give your child a good
education. See that hid morals
are pure, his mind cultivated
and his whole natuie subservient
to the laws that govern man and
you will give what will be of more
value than the Indies. You
have given him a start no misfor-
tunes can deprive him of. The
earlier you teach him to depend
upon himself the better.
There is no greater token of
Tespect and affection than an
invitation to enter the real heart
and home life of a family. And
yet how seldom do we offer our-
selves the relaxation and our
friends and neighbors the
pleasure of such an invitation!
Is a guest coming? Straightway
we set to work to clean house
from garret to cellar; we cook
and bake and stew and fuss and
sigh and work as though some
terrible calamity were about to
befall us, instead of that whioh
should be the most delightful
anticipation, the visit of a friend.
If the house is clean and fair
enough for our nearest and
dearest, why not for our friend?
If dinner is ample for the family,
why not for an added guest?
And will not the day and the
visit be more delightful for both
hostess and guest, if the fare is
plain and the faoes at the table
bright and fresh, not wearied
and flushed as with an added
burden instead of an added
pleasure? Can we not learn to
offer ourselves siecerely and
simply, just ad we are, in our
everyday clothes and manners,
to those who come to us. Let
social intercourse be frank and
frequent and friendly. Let us
be honest and genuine and fine
and courteous in our daily lives,
so when the friend oomes he
will find us untroubled and
serene, ad we always are, ready
to receive the good thought, the
story, the laugh, and to give him
our very selves in return, our
best in conversation, and ap-
preciation, and that will make
the humblest dinner a feast for
kings.
Men with the rod in the sohool
room are out of demand. Teanh-
ers with tenderness, appealing
to the divinest instincts and the
noblest reasons, are the school-
masters called for. Tne gentle
woman has found a piaoe beside
the gentle man for the education
of the gentle child.

Heavy enough to protect the sole of the foot, yet absolutely
flexible, thus giving freedom and perfect ease to all muscles while
walking.
You can roll these shoes up like a ball, but you can't
injure their soles or shape.
The leather in these soles is pure oak tannage; free from
all injurious matter and requires half a year for tanning.
You'll never know what genuine foot comfort really means
until you wear a pair of Peters' "Foot Comfort" Shoes.
«T. LOUIS.
Parable of the Tobacco
Seed.
One of our town girls hands us
the following with the request
that we publish it for the boys to
read, and that reading it they
mav be made wise hereby:
Then shall the kingdom of
Satan be likened unto a grain of
tobacco seed, which, though ex-
ceedingly small, being cast into
the ground, grew and became a
great plant, and spread its leaves I
rank and broad, so that vile |
worms formed a habitation there-1
on.
And it came to pass in the
course of time that the sons of
men looked upon it and thought
it beautiful. To make them look
big and manly, the lads put
fourth their hands and did chew
thereof; and some it made sick,
and others to vomit most filthily.
And it further came to pass that
they who chewed it became weak
and unmanly, and said: "We
are enslaved and can't cease
ohewing it" And the mouths
of all, who were enslaved beoame
foul, and they were seized with a
violent spitting, and did spit
even in the ladies parlors and in
the house of the Lord of hosts,
and the saints of the Most High
were greatly plagued thereby.
And in the course of time it
oame also to pass that others
snuffed it, and they were taken
suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze with great and mighty
sneezes, insomuch that their eyes
filled with tears, and they did look
exceedingly silly. And yet oth-
ers cunningly wrought the leaves
thereof into rolls, and did set fire
to the end thereof, and did look
very grave and calf-like, sucking
it, and the smoke of their torment
ascended up forever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof
became a great and mighty busi-
ness in the earth, and the
merchantmen waxed rich by the
commeroe thereof. And it oame
to pass that the saints of the
Most High defiled themselves.
And even the poor, who could
not buy shoes, nor bread, nor
books for their little ones, spent
their money for it, and the Lord
was greatly displeased therewith
and said, "Wherefore this waste;
and why do these little ones lack
bread and shoes and books?
Turn your attention to ohange
this wicked evil which has grown
in your midst in a gospel land.
Turn now your fields into corn
and wheat, and defile not your-
selves any more, and God will
bless you and cause the smile of
his countenance to shine on you."
But with one acoord they all ex-
claimed, "We cannot oeaee
chewing and snuffing and puff-
ing. We are slaves to the evil
plague.

Looking Back.
You will find as you look back
upon your life, that the moments
that stand out—the moments
when you have really lived—are
the moments when you have
done things in a spirit of love.
As memory scans the past, above
and beyond all the transitory
pleasures of life there leap for-
ward those supreme hours when
you have been enabled to do un-
noticed kindnesses to those
round about you, things too tri-
fling to speak about, but which
you feel have entered into your
eternal life.—Henry Drummond.

Rev. J. H. Hayes, of Colllnsvllle,
Texas, says: "I, feel like doing all I
can to make the merit of Doan's Kid
nev Pills known. Three years ago I
gave a statement for publicalion giv-
ing the details of my experience with
this remedy, and now I willingly con-
firm all I then said. I was bothered
for a long time by a constant, dull
ache In my back. This became so
severe that I could scarcely get
around. The kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage, highly color-
ed and tilled with sediment. Having
Doan's Kidney Pills brought to my
notice, I procured a box at the City
Drug Store and began the use. They
did me more good than anything else
I had previously taken and soon my
trouble was a thing of the past. 1
have reuommended Doan's Kidney Pills
to several of my friends and in each
case where they have been used, the
best of results have followed."
