II value, though, to fellow gents would not amount to fifty cents, He never helped a human sou since he acquired his bulging roll; ho never lets u dime get loose on any pretext or excuse unless he knows that it wi earn another dime and then re turn. He judges all men by the r wads: the millionaires ran with the gods, and men who havo no pile of kale to Jasper seem both cheap niu. stale. He kicks at every forward move; he hates to see the town improve because he fears that better times may tax him for his sacred dimes. Ho never thinks of aught but cash; all other things to him seem trash: the only books ho reads are those which tell of how a fortune trrows: tho only pictures which appeal to his old heart of rusty steel, arc those which on bank notes nro seenwhich decorate the good long green.

An Appeal The County Superintendent has received an appeal from tho Oregon State Federation of Wo men's Clubs, asking him to tel their hoHiiital committee about any crippled children in this county who could be aided by a state-wide organization to fur nisli freo medical treatment o tho most modern scientific kirn in all cases where tho family income is not Huilicicnt for ox pensive consultation with spec ialists. The federation, wnicii in eludes a hundred women's clubs in all parts of the state, asks anyone who knows of a little victim of an accident, of spina meningitis.of infantile paralysis, of tuberculosis in the bones or joints, or any other crippling cause, to write the details ot the case to Mrs. Millie It. Trumbull Secretary Child Wolfaro Com mission, 250J Third street, Portland. Oregon. Tho club women maintain that these little cripples, besides be ing tho most pitiful ot all cases of helplessness, and besides be ing entirely without organized assistance in contrast with tho irrcat state institutions which care for the deaf, the blind, the feoblo minded and even the delinquent, nro also tho most curablo if treated in time, ami tho most ablo when so tivatoi to make good, strong, usefu citizens instead ot charges on public charity all their lives. An Excellent Paper Papor read by Mrs. S. Turrell at tho Mothers' meeting Mon day afternoon, which will bo found to bo unusually interest ing: Whilo there may bo children with strong natural tendencies to truthfulness and candor which defectivo training can never wholly eradicate, and perhaps a row who uro naturally untruth ful, wo must admit that, with the majority of them at leost, very much depends on early training and whilo wo know that many parents fully realizo this and are carefully leading their littlo ones m the right way. there nro others who are. unconsciously, teaching lessons in untruthfulness which will never bo forgotten. If a mother will practice deception in deal ing with her baby, sho should not be surprised if ho puts tho lessons thus taught him to prac tical uso a littlo later on. How can ho understand that it is wrong for him to slip uwuy un noticed after promising to re main at home If she has dealt Let US be YOUR bankers N-IB Our Bank is a NATIONAL Bank, operating under a charter, granted us by the United States Government, to do a Banking business.

JOHNS, OREGON with him in llko manner when he has objected to being left? If it is riirht for mother, how can it be wrong for him? Many children aro frightened into being untruthful. A child naturally considers his mother mm It I a haven 01 reiuge, a ncing wno can make everything come right, and happy, indeed, is the one who can always come fearlessly to her with his troubles, whether brought about through some fault of his own or through ac cident; but what of the one who comes to confess some little fault, expecting sympathy and guidance, but Is met instead with angry reproach or punish ment! Will he come next time and tell mother all about it, or will ho try to devise means whereby to deceive her, and perhaps finally resort to down right falsehood In order to ca- cape punishment? Especially should wo guard against frightening children in to obedience with stories of what will happen them if they fail to obey. Imagine, if you can, the leeiings ot a timid, nervous child on going to ncd by himself after hearing some dreadful story which he, in his innocence, believes to bo true; and when ho finds ho has been deceived who can blame him if he has small regard for the truth? Other children are led into untruthfulness by a too vivid imagination. Thoy do not mean to lie. hut it seems impos sible for them to relate the most trivial event without adding to it until truth is lost sight of in I he effort to make an interest ing story. One writer says that this quality is often indicative of peculiar mental ability ami should bo conserved by direction into legitimate channels, bhe says ono way is to havo the child write in a diary her im aginative version of events, at the same time insisting that her verbal statements concern ing tho samo events shall be absolutely accurate. In order, then, to teach our children truthfulness, wo must, from tho very beginning, bo absolutely truthful ourselves, not only with them, but with others. Hut when tho tendency to lie is there, then what is to io dono? Thoy say there is great power in suggestion, that wo should always expect the truth, nor by severity make it too hard to tell, and nine times out of ten wo will get it. When. towever, you nro suro a no lias been told, patiently talk it over with tho child until full con fession has been obtained : then et not tho punishment be too severe; let him understand that s the lio for which ho is be ing punished rather than tho unit tho lie was meant to hide: and do not bo afraid to give him duo praiso for his courage in confessing. It will help him when temptation comes again. And in tho menntimo children should bo taught to suppress unpleasant truths, especially about the personal appearance of others. It is hard enough for an unfortunato child to bear deformity or whatever his de ed may be without boing con- stantly reminded of it by thomihtless children who have never been taught to respect tho feelings of others.
