Talking Back.
Contradicting is the Latin of it.
Some boys and girls have a bad
habit of doing this. The habit
grows upon them till they become
quite unconscious of it. What-
ever is said to them by parent or
teacher, in the way of require-
ment, advice, expostulation, re-
proof, these boys or girls have
some defence or objection to
make. What they ought to do,
is to receive admonition in silence,
or else with a thoughtfully spoken
assent.
There are children that never
seem to regard a direction from
father or mother as binding on
them if they can only think of
something to say against it. And
generally they can. The direc-
tion must be repeated, or they
consider themselves free because
they have talked back.
Boys and girls, don't "talk
back." It is a miserable habit.
Ask your friends if you do it; for
if you do, it is probable you are
not aware of it. So ask to be re-
minded when you talk back.
Then say nothing in reply to the
reminder except "thank you,"
and bite your lips in silence.
Make your lips bleed rather than
"talk back." — Selected.
A Noble Gift.

Superintendent Stahmann of
Missouri tells of a recent gift of
$5,000, unconditionally given as
the beginning of a large fund to
purchase or build a suitable Re-

Dependent Children, do this good

Certain People May Read It.
The following seems to have
had its origin with the Ohio
Children's Home Society, and
came to us thro' the organ of the
Iowa Children's Home Society,
and we thought some of the peo-
ple here might join us in reading
it.
"Very g<x>d people occasionally
misconstrue our best efforts.
This Society, like all other human
endeavor, is liable to error. It is
now, as it ever has been, impos-
sible to find officers and workers
that are infallible. The banker
may resolve to cash no checks
but what are good. And the
grocer.vman that he will trust no
customer but what is good. And
the child-placer that he will give
children to good families only,
and yet, like the banker and the
grocer, he will after a term of
years' experience find that he has
been deceived, upon the advice
of friends. There will be bad
paper on the banker's hands, bad
accounts on the grocer's books
and unsatisfactory placements.
The consolation in favor of the
child-placer is that he may cor-
rect his error by replacement,
which we do when the evidence
shows that by so doing we would
act in the best interests of the
child."
Oklahoma Children's Home
Society is expecting some good
friends to the cause and work
here, to make a similar or larger
"If you want to have good
habits when you are old, form
them while you are young, and
let them be growing strong all
the while you live."
