1 tXGEUJEHT PAPERS ARE READ TO CLUB MRS. C. E. LEONARD AND MRS. TRANK SOUTHWORTH TALK OP SUNSHINE CIRCLES AND PHILLIPS BROOKS WETH MRS. BLAIN Saturday Club Members Have Plea ant and P rofitable meeting In "lie Discussion of Notable Characters. The Saturday Club met with' Mrs. Blain. Two papers of unusual ex cellence were presented by Mrs. Frank Southworth and Mrs. C. R. Leonard. Mrs. ßouthvroHh presented the work cf Cynthia. stover Alden, the founder of the International Sunshine Society. This organization is not a charitable one in the com mon meaning of the word, but an CTjranized effort to make the world just a little better aid brighter. It3 creed is found in the little poem which begins, "If one has done yon a kindness, Pass it along, pass it along." The song of the society is the well known one, "Gather up the sun-beams, That lie along your path." The good accomplished where "Sunshine Circles" exist is won derful not only in the material help extended but in the little, sweet acts that help and encourage. In one town the Circle keeps the sick supplied with bouquets'; another circle looks after the wants and pleasures of the "Shut-ins." and at Christmas time provide a doll to the little girl whose soul longs for a doll. Mrs. Alden 's rreatest work has been the establishing of homes for blind babies where they are cared for from infan-y until arrived at the age of admission to the State Institutions fo the Blind. There are "but two Sunshine Cir cles in Indiana one at Indianapolis, and the other at Terre Haute. So there is a great field for work in this line in .Indiana. Added inter est was given to this subject from the fact that Mrs. Southworth had written to Mrs. Alden, who personal ly sent the pictures used to illus trate the subject,, Mrs. Southworth also read two letters which she had received from the State organizers of. Sunshine Circles.

Bowell truant' officer. The board thought Mr. Bowell had done so faithfully what they wanted done that they 'all wanted him to con tinue the work. ChtJdronr Orj7 m FLETCHER T IfAM MEN CAN'T UNDERSTAND "B Jove," said the first man, but women are curious crea tures, and the more you study them, the less you understand them. "After a man has been married 20 or 30 years, he begins to find this out, and that a woman doesn't work from cause to effect, but from effect to cause. Then he gives up trying to guess the riddle, and accepts his wife as she is, because she is as she is. 'Dut his past experiences do not throw any light on the present, or. il luminate the future, or erect any guile posts that keep him from mak ing mistakes, and stumbling into the pitfalls of matrimony. "Perhaps one of the reasons why there Is so much divorce is -because men , nver get a real tip on . how to manage women. They always blunder, even when their intentions are best. "Now take a woman's attitude on the gift Question for instance. That is one of the great mysteries of feminine psychology with which the mere mas culine intellect is utterly unable to cope, although millions of men collide with it every day of the year, and do their hun.ble best to solve it. "Of course, it doesn't take a man long to find out, after he Is married, that all sorts of anniversaries are sa cred with a woman, and that her ideal of a perfect husband is a man who always bobs up with a present on her birthday, aid who never forgets to end her a bunch of flowers and a box of candy on the anniversary of the day he first saw her, and the auspic ious day when she promised to be hie. "If a man will observe an anniver sary without growling, and act as if he really enjoyed it, his wife- accounts it unto him fur righteousness. If he will remember an anniversary him self, and not hive to be reminded of it, it is like the mantle of charity that covers a multitude of sins; and she will forgive him for pretty nearly anything else that he does in the way of sidestepping, for the sake of this virtue that Is so unaccountably dear to her. "No man can cunprehend the why or the whereforeness of this feminine worship of anniversaries; but, having once grasped the fct that he can make his wife happy by bestowing upon her a posie or trinket, a man is a poor sort of a husband who will not take the trouble to mark off his wife's; fete days on the calendar, and appro priately observe them. "That sounds easy, but I find that the carrying out of the program i3 be set with unexpected complications, among which I am dead certain to come to grief. "For in 'buying your wife a presenr there are almost insuperable difficul ties because, in the flnt place, it must be a surprise; and, In the second place, it must be exactly what the ants; and, in the third place, it must be something that yon can't possibly afford; and, in the fourth place, ü must square with hex Idea of rigid economy. "And to fulfill all ot these qualities requires more of a mind reader than the average man is. "I sieak with feeling on the sub ject, for I have just been through a harrowing experience. "My wife's birthday was approach ing, -and the portentous problem oi her birthday present loomed largo on the hortzon. With deep guile I list ened attentively to her conversation to see if she would not drop some hint as to something she par.iculan wanted. Being a good wifn, and wish ing to help me out, due discoursed con cerning dinner rings, from which I in ferred that one of those soup plate af fairs was the deLire of her heart. "To my consternation I found out that it took four hundred good hard plunks to buy even a fairly nice one I could ill afford to epend so much money, but I reflected on what a sood industrious, economical wif my Mar; was, and how often she had worn hei old suit in order that I might have a new one, and how uncomplaining anc generous she had been about every thing, and so I dug down into my lit tle bank account and came across with the price of a good risg from one of the best stores. "Well, the gift was a howling suc cess at first My 'wife got up In the night to take another look at It. She 6howed it to her family, and all the neighbors, and was as happy over it as a kid with a red sled. "That lasted about two days. "Then she begaa worrying about something. She wanted to know, the price of the ring, and though heaven knows I should have known better, 1 let her worin It out of me that I had paid four hundred dollars for it at Stiff inay'g; "Then Wow! Bloody murder! Four, hundred dollars! The very Idea! She had seen' one Just like it at a marked down bargain sale of jew elry, la a department store, that they only asked two hundred tof. "Four hundred dollars, for. a ring, and people In our circumstances. We will land In the poorhouse sure? etc., etc., etc V and then a flood of tears. "l give you my word my wife criec" for a week, and I cursed myself for a fool for spending my 1 hard-earned money and producing weeps where 1 had thought to bring Joy. . v "She thought I had done a most Idiotic thing, but she wouldn't have had me not do it for the world.

POTHER'S FOR SCHOOLS I'D CHURCHES INTERNATIONAL OBSERVANCE ASKED 3Y STATE SUPERIN TENDENT FOR MAY 7 SCHOOLS MAY 5. WHITE CARNATIONS Appropriate Flower Chosen To Commemorate Love of Mother Sentiment Should bo Strength ened In Children The second Sunday of May has been set asida or the international Observance of Mother's Day. The schools are requested to observe the Day on Friday preceeding this date. The purpose of this day is to honoi and uplift motherhood. The badire is a white carnation, " mother's' own favorite flower, or the national colors. Every tender sentiment that leads to noble action, should be nurtured, carefully in annation accused of commercialism. Each boy and girl should be admonished to make this Day so full of love and joy for mother, that she can never forget it, and to make it so overflowing with unselfish deeds and practical helpful ness that ether mothers, bereft, ii! or unfortunate, may have a share in the abundant joy. Instill in the minds of the boys and girls of the land that on this Day, at least, motherhood sits enthroned, and the wise and the brave and the good of all lands bow before her throne to do her reverence and to acknowledge their obligations. On no day should the Nation's Flag float out more triumphantly thai on Mother's Day when Mother eome3 into her own. Let teachers strive faithfully to direct beautiflly the sentiment and ideals of the Day into wholesome and practical channels. Lead boys end girls to realize that "mother's" honor and happiness will be in pro portion to their own work and ac hievements, beginnings with the re cord for the day and ending in chivalrous respect and gentle consid eration for all womankind. Extend the ideals of Mother's Day to in clude all the ideals oi the world. Charles A. Greathouse, Supt. Department of Public Instruction, April 18, 1911. Cattle Raising in India. The superintendent of the Indian CI Til Veterinary Department throws a little. light on the native methods of cattle raising. The native .living on a meal of rice, with a few heTba as seasoning, expects his cattle will in like manner pick up what they can in the way of pasture about the vil lage or its adjacent lands, so that he never troubles himself to grow green food or prepare dry fodder for them; the Bixae plant which supplies him with grain feeds his cattle also with Its straw.. In most towns and villages cattle are driven out at all seasons to grazea-broad, and in the dry sea son they more frequently lick the dust only and return home as empty a& when they started to receive perhaps a few hau drills of straw or rubbish, just sufficient to sustain life. Many of the beasts, too, are worth leas, being too. weedy even to put in the lightest plough, and they are aU lowed to exist aiu eat up the rations cf the mora profitable ones. Un doubtedly religious sentiment among the vast majority of the people la averse to destroying cattle, as aoons the mutes tha boll has always bn considered to be acred, and iadmd is worshipped usdsr the name of Nua di, it hartag formed . the vehicle of their dalty Ohlra daring his prerin atfcaa. A ninda would consider it a grievous sin to kill useless cattle, henee it is that the terrible rpecimens referred to are . allowed to. exist and est tby? food which should 'go to the workers.

Tue first memorial which strikes the eyes of a traveler when he ar rives at Jerusalem, says a French vis itor who has recently returned to parts is the new church of the Ger mans on Mount Zion. It is built on land given by Abdul Hamid to the German emperor. Its architecture and vast proportions are admired by al! who tea the building. The church will be served by German BeuedictinesH and it is to be consecrated next year. It is said, in the presence of Prince Eitel, 2 representing the Kaiser. Aft erward the Prince will take 3art In the opening of the sanitarium, also German, which is near by. At the other extremity of the town near the Damascus gate, German buildings are increasing. The hospice and hostelry are finished. The orphanage, with chapel, is in contemplation. This will be under the charge of the Lazarists of Cologne, whose funds have contrib uted millions of marks for charitable purposes in the Holy Land. In short, it is Germany which holds the supre macy in Jerusalem, and that supre macy is not hidden. London Globe. So Like His Famous Father. Once a month there appears upon the streets of Washington a man who bears a striking resemblance to Gen eral Robert E. Lee. The man is General George Washington Custis Lee, a son of the leader of the Con federaie Army, who serreo as a ma jor general in the Confederate Army. General Lee'a regular visits to Washington are not for the pur pose of renewing old acquaintances. He always has a mission. As soon as he leaves the train the old soldier walks to the Ebbltts Hous barber shop. A negro barber greets fcim courteously, the general steps into the chair and has his hair cut. After leaving the barber shop he steps across the street to the law office of his son Robert E. Lee, where be remains for a few minutes. He then takes an early afternoon train back to his home In Fairfax County. General Lee is president emeritus of Washington and Lee University, o wuitn nis iamer also was president The striking resemblance vto hi? famous father was illustrated by thp sculptor wto was selected to desigr the statue of General Lee which now stands in Statuary Hall at the Capi tol. The sculptor had an eicellen death mask of the Confederate gen eral, but sotaewhpt puzzled about the size of the hancs until he wag in formed that General George Wash ington Custis Lee was the living Image of his father. The sculptoi thereupon took an Impression of th hands of the son. Washington Star.

Very few farmers, however, have any knowl edge of what their cows are doing. Most of tbe farmers judge of the qual ity of their cows from the amount of milk each one gives. If she gives a large mess of milk she is usually "the best cow on the farm," and if a 6mall mess she is not a "very good cow." This is an unscientific way" of judging of the Individual cow or the herd. To help farmers upon a higher plane of dairying has been a study of the Min nesota Detriment of Agriculture for several years. Through a long series of experiments the department has found that the testing of individual cows, weighing their milk and testing It is practical and necessary if one la to breed up his herd intelligently. The department now recommends the or ganization of co-operative cow test ing associations in any neighborhood where a sufficient number of cows Is kept. This is not a hard natter to do. Let fifteen or twenty farmers join together in a neighborly way and eign an agreement to stand by each other for a year, agreeing to pay $1.00 or a $1.50 per year per cow for some one who shall make it his duty to ap pear at each farm once a month for a year, at milking time, see the cows milked, weigh their milk, test it, and make a record ot each cow's work and leave It with her owner. In this way a practical man thoroughly ac quainted with the work can be em ploy ecU to give his experience to the dairyman at so low a cost as to make his employment a necessity to every owner of a considerable number ol cows. Some may eay they can't afford :be cost. A few non-paying cows will In a year cost more than the expense of haying the herd tested for a similar period. If a cow isn't worth the feed and care she -requires the farmer should know it. If 'she Is a paying cow he should know it and breed her to a sire of pronounced qualities and thus build up hia herd ! to ä standard of excellence and profit. Good dairy cows are seldom in the inarket. Peo pleas arule do not sell such , cows, or if . so they sell at an exhorbltant price few farmers can afford to pay. So the really practical and economi cal way to . get a paying herd Is to breed up to It from sires of such ex- Hcellence as to leave no question as to tne. dairy merit or tneir onspnng, oe? ginning - with the best cows in - tb herd, as mothers and discarding thosi of inferior quality. - The tester, can visit one herd one day and then the farmer 'can take him. to the next, and eo on until h has gone the rounds of .the neighbor hood once each month. At the end 01 the year each farmer will have ä re cord showing a losing or winning game on the part "of each cow, be sides' having been educated in varioui branches cf the Industry. A limited number of cow testing associations have been organized In Minnesota and the farmers are pleased with the ; suits. Chfldron cry FOR FLFTCIIEirS U LJ U U I1 .
