A popular magazine kindly sets forth a page of "Gifts de Luxe for the House” and furthermore will do the Christmas shopping for the far-away customers if they so desire. The women are fairly crazy over one that appears to be a long tilet of veal, with fruits and vegetables garnishing and overbowing the ends. The description says: "Sumptuously lovely is the long pillow at the hot tom of the page, ami isn't it a pre»‘v‘ gift to set before even a queen on Christmas morning? It is of apnle green taffeta with taceta fruits in ripe autumn purples and blues overflowing the ends and gold tassels to finish it.

APPEAL IS MADE (CONTINUKD FRUM PAG» ONE) for deportment and for scholarship. Now If your children are taking music lessons, how careful you would be to get them off in time; but what is the ability to drum on a piano compared with the fixed determination, based upon the reasons why, that they will never let brain poisons have .dominion over them? When it is time to go to school how careful you are to get them started, but how much less important is arithmetic than the solving of the problem of a life kept pure in the midst of temptation; and how much less useful is geography which bounds a state than that which locates on the chart of life the malestrom of moderation and Niagara of drunkenness, while it marks out the sure, safe “water way" of total abstinence? You may say, "I can teach them all this ut home." Happy it is for them If you do, but in your busy life it is doubtful if you have become such an expert in this teaching as our modern methods and facilities have enabled the modern juvenile temperance teacher to be. Besides there is a mutual strength and helpfulness, a cheery esprit de corps in the association of children banded together with a common aim to fight a common enemy, such as no isolated training can impart. Line upon line, precept upon precept, graven on the brain and worked into the warp and woof of character in its formative period, wil build strong foundations for the "little soldiers newly mustered in;” this is their discipline, their drill, and their preparation for the battle. You would not expet them to master the music lesson without patient teaching and constant repetition: why should you expect them to master themselves and their temptations in any other way? Nor is their batt e. alas! a conflict of the future. It surrounds them every hour. It is set in array by the boy whose seat is beside tjiat of. your boy behind the desk at school, and who takes out a bunch of cigarettes or a plug of sugary tobacco and whispers. “You shall have some at recess.” The battle comes in the oaths and unclean words of the play ground; in the invitation to treat on cider or beer; in the disguised alcohol and tobacco flavors of the candy-shop conveniently located near by; in the nameless habits taught to pure boys and girls by the children of unguarded homes; in the vile pictures ami literature that are as a pestilence walking at noonday. The school, whether public or private, to which you send your children, is as dangerous a battle-ground as will ever demand of them that forewarning and forearming which the Loyal Legion is organized on purpose to afford. Someone has said, “If you aim at nothing, you will be sure to hit it." Alas, how many mothers, failing to

aid at definite results in the habits of their children, have wept bitter but idle tears when It was everlastingly too late. And here come our juvenile temperance workers, raised up by God's good providence to aid and abet the home folks in the training of the young, and to act the part of foster parents to thousands worse than motherless. Will you not at least give to these noble and unselfish friends who offer you their time and talents without money and without price, the tribute of your appreciative confidence and that hearty co-opera-tion through which alone they can succeed ? "God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers,” is a golden sentence in "Ben Hur." The meaning is that God never comes so near a tempted life as when the mother stands on guard. Beloved, as a teacher I have had. in the past, two thousand of your children under my care. Suffer me then to come to you with loving seriousness and to plead for your help in our earnest efforts to teach the children of the present, surrounded by the pitfalls that result from treacherous social customs and cowardly laws, to “Choose where two paths meet, the narrow, not the broad. As their thoughtless little feet enter life’s dusty road.” The superintendent of the local branch of the loyal Temperence Legion urges all members to be present at the meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock.
