But many a parent with this will have no servant problem, for she will know that they who do the world's nessary work are the foundation stones of the social superstructure, and are absolutely essential to its stability and continuance. Therefore, the coming woman will not look down upon her hard handworking sister, for she will realize that the difference between them is very slight if eaeh does her duty conscientiously. Neither will she disdain the humble task herself, for the she will know lliatrlhe lowliest if done in the proper spirit, is ennobling; that there is nothing degrading where all is necessary; that it is not the work that degrades but the re W.

Its friends are shocked and heart- broken.

How is it possible that the child of good intentions and righteous parents has become a drunkard, a gambler, and sensual. It was never inspired to self denial. It is much harder fur some than others. Not that some children are naturally bad. Oh no.

There may be many incor-rigble parents. That's what makes bad children. There are but few incorrigble children, else Christ would not have loved them so. Selfish we all are. To learn not to be selfish and to give and give up, for the sake of others is the highest accomplishment of life, and it yeilds the sweetest returns.

When the Pope Attorney Gen eral Little, in exemqlilication of his name, declaired the law a failure and incapable of enforcement, every Republican in the state denounced him.
