How to Keep Our
Children at Home.
Some parents make the mis-
take of not doing things to keep
tth«ir children interested in
home. Our experience has been
that a child will not tire of home
life and the association of par-
ents and brothers and sisters if
proper effort is made to provide
things to occupy his mind One
day last week for instance, we
bought our daughter a new bed-
room suite. It wasn't the most
expensive one we could find and
yet it caused her to be perfectly
satisfied with home for a full af-
ternoon. A new rug of her se-
lection kept her at home for an
hour the following day, and our
eon spent several hours in the
house the day we bought him a
desk. He was in the house a
little longer when we put a fine
new mirror in bis room. He
l v
seemed to take to it as soon as
he saw it. These are simple lit-
tle things that any parent can
lo. Just a few new articles
jought every duy will keep the
children interested in their
inuie—Claud Callan in Pitts
burg Gazette.

An Editor's JNew
Year Resolutions.
Editor Homer M. Price of the
Marshall News makes some good
resolutions:
"I have made only a few reso-
lutions for the New Year and
most of these are "don'ts". I'm
not going to hear any jazz music
this year if I can help it. I'm not
going to eat tiny carrots or oli-
ves or spinach, voluntarily. I'm
notg'oing to drink any liquor un
less at least six good doctors re-
commend it. I'm not going
bareheaded on the streets. I'm
not going to smoke too much if
I can help it. I'm not goiug to
argue with anybody about B,ap
tism and 1 won't hear any speak
er discuss it if I can get out of the
house. I'm not going to run for
any office although this is elec
tion year. I'm uot goiug to tell
candidates whether I'm going to
vote for them or not. I'm not
going to do any fly Unhing. I
won't ride in au auto where the
driver thinks he is in such a bur
ry that he wants to run over 30
miles an hour and prefer to go
with those who think 10 or 2t)
fast enough. I shall not go up
in any airplane unless Charles
Lindbergh is the aviator. I shall
try to keep my chickens at home
so my neighbors can raise flow-
ers for me to look at. I shall
own no dog so long as I live in a
city. I shall not advise any par
ent bow to raise children aud if
any of my neigh born, husbands
and wives get to fighting, I'm
not going to take sides—I'm go-
ing to call the police. If I can't
be good I'm going to try to be
cautious. I'm not going to buv
gold bricks and shall not offer
any for sale. I do uot waut to
strike oil, for if I had a million I
would be worried for fear some
guy would yet it awav from me.
I do not delude myself into think-
ing if I had lots of money I would
give it away. I would probably
hang on to it likg the rest of
them. If I bad a million and
gave itway I would likely do
more harm than good. I don't
expect to reform the world and
l'cn not certain it needs reform-
ing. I shall not complain at the
way the women folks dress, if
they'll only put covering on the
little girl's knees and legs during
the cold weather. I shall take
no cold baths during winter and
shall not lie by claiming I do. I
shall wear suspenders and there-
by save valuable time that oth-
ers lose puiling up their 'britches'
into proper positiou. I shall
have little advice to give and
shall only give that Upon re-
quest. 1 shall try very hard not
to inflict any hard luck storieB
on my friends. And as we say in
the Methodist church, I shall try
to be at all times in "love and
charity with my neighbors." 1
hope I shall not get all I want
this year, but only those things
that will be good for me."
, The amount of electrical pow-
er produced by public utility
plants of Texas this year is show-
ing an increase of 20 per cent
over last year. This is one in-
fallible measure of the states

Character Shown by
Manner of Laughing*
"People who laugh heartily
may be trusted," said a student
of psychology recently. "These
people laugh with the eyes and
the whole body as well as the vo-
cal cords, and ohey are usually
generous and sympathetic.
"Laughter is a sure indication
of character. The man who
laughs in his throat, with an al-
most straight face, for example,
is generally shrewd and cautious,
and not always over scrupulous
in bis methods.
"Inside laughter*, whose shak-
ing (-boulders express their mirth
are good natured, and make ex-
cellent parents, while those who
laugh without a smile are hard-
hearted and cruel. People with
little jerky laughs are often of
shallow character, and are una-
ble to withstand temptation.
They are, however, often mental-
ly brilliant.
"People who laugh explosively
and loudly are uot the hearty,
bluff creatures they are generally
believed to be.
"The large hearted souls are
those who laugh but rarely, but
whose jov is reflected in eyes, lips
and fuce."—Ex.

Rafles Becomes Detective.
If every criminal had the good
sense of the principal character
in "The Return of Anthony
Trent," Wyndham Mertin's in
genious mystery-detective story,
there soon would be no more
crime. In this case the super-
criminal, although he was able
to avoid the clutches of the law
and to make his operations prof
itable in a monetary sense, came
to the realization that he was on
the wrong track: that he was
wasting his life, his talents and
ultimately would pay the penal-
ty. So he turned about and
took the other course—enlisted
on the side of justice and be
came au amateur detective. His
adventures were no less thrilling
than they were while pursuing
the old life aud the outcome was
decidedly more satisfactory to
him. Don't fail to read "The
Return of Anthony Trent, our
new serial iu The Cass County
Sun.
