Boys and Girly' Newspaper Service Qopyright, 1919, by ¥ E Millar it with the second A Questionable Item. An eight-year old boy from Bath Road draws the editor's attention to a short line item which appeared in the Whig of December 9th. While looking for the School News his eve fell on this little item which read, "Some people sin a lot of times by telling the truth." He drew his mo- ther's attention to it, as it appeared to be distinctly contrary to what she had taught him a few days previous- ly. She had given him a lesson on this subject in the following way. "T is for try to be patient and good, R for right and justice and have them we should; : U is for using them in a just cause; i | : i | | { thing to tell the truth and that any- T ig those who went to duty's call; H is for how we shall master them all (our secret enemies). The moral is to {rust in God and do the right, for this boy had been told by his mother that truth is the light and that the light of the world Is Jesus, so that it cannot be a sin to tell the truth. This little correspondent puts o difficult question before your school editor. The item in question was one used to fill up a column, and while it did not appear in the school page Space, though on the same page, it evidently has been the subject of much interest in at least one home, The meaning of it appears to be that there are times when it is better to keep silent than to tell the truth about some things; that there are times when it would be a harmful thing harmful is sinful StL, would nbt like to say anything which would in any way hurt the simple faith of this little boy, and he 1s in- deed to be congratulated on having a mother who goes to such pains to train him in the first and best prin- ciples of true living. ---------- ~_SC THE ew ------ FRIDAY, DECFM _--y | The Do-Nothing Family. { .

(From Goldsmith's Deserted Village.) The little village of Auburn is sup- posed by many to be the Irish village of Lissoy. The poet describes it as being replete with every charm which ture could confer upon \ utiful season of spring seemed delighted to shed aver it its refresh- ing brightness and summer, for it passed slowly even reluctantly away. This village was especially dear to the writer for being the. place of his birth. All associated with it brought up mémories of his happy- youth Even in hie old age, he loves to pic ture the fair village as it was to him during his childhood. His e, a neat little Queen Ann cottage,-in its quaintness and sim- pilcity formed the middle of the land- scape. On each side sloped off the well-worked verdant fields. In front rippled a frolicksome little brook. which hastened on to the busy mill. In the distance on a small green '|eminence was plainly visible a pretty | well-kept church, the pride of the humble villagers. ------------------ Auburn in Its Desolation.

He also employed his time by frolicking with the children, for with them he for- got his heavy debts, and it was gene- rally after these gambols that he wrote such charming letters to his uncle. But when day grew weary and be- 8an to wrap her maitle of velvet all spangled with gold about her, and when the gentle Zyphyrs grew to be stormy winds, then it was that poor "Goldy" realited that he had no home in these strange lands, and in the solemn gloom his mind oft re- verted to the emerald bowers of "Sweet Auburn," and as he gazed in- BY GRANT M. HYDE "Browns are on the same telephone line with us, Dad, for I can hear Jack taiki sometimes, but our one doesn't ring when theirs does. Why?" "It's because of a new goin of selective ringing for party lines whic was recently invented. Most cities have it now to replace the old tem in which each party had a di erent number of rings. To understand this selective system, you must know what goes on inside a telephone. : "Trace the wires in the drawing, which is a diagram rather than an exact picture of the inside of a tele- phone. The whole business, you see, depends upon whether the receiver is hung up, for the receiver hook is the switch that separates the bell circuit from the talking circuit. That's why central cannot call us when the re- ceiver is down. "When central wishes to ring our phone, or call us, she presses a button which turns current into our line. The current comes in at A, runs the wire to D, then along the hook to E, then up the wire to the bell at M, then back out again at B to the outside line. When I take down the receiver, to the pitchy gloom, more vividly did the scenes of Wis childhood reappear, and he would then take out his flute, perhaps to keep him company, strike up some joyous air, and would soon have a crowd of admirers about him, all anxious to share with him their humble hospitality. Although this idle journey did Goldsmith little or no good, yet = gave' us The Traveller, which eritics have pronounced to be as "pure as crystal," and we may take a moral lesson from his jdle wanderings-- and althdugh the "rolling stone gath- ers no moss'--yet in his hears, Charity grew and blossomed, and in the hands of Genius his literary tal- ents bloomed forth fresh and green. ---Cathering Keenan, Form II. A Sunset. Fatigued both in mind and body, I sauntered out to the lake shore. The trees in the park were at peace. There | was not the slightest breeze to dis- turb their many colored dresses. It was early fall, and there were tiny ripples on the water. I sat on a rock near the shore and rested my ruffled brain by watching the small waves. A beautiful stream of light on the water attracted my attention, and I looked up to behold the west- ern sky clad in a glorious sunset. There were islands in the distance, and the sunset, now a huge red ball, sank behind one of them. The rose, pink, purple and reflec- tions on the sky were almost indes-. cribable. 1 was fascinated with the beauty, and wondered how many were contemplating the scene in the same manner. The same sunset lowered over the graves of our poor soldiers on Flanders fields, on the heart-broken- ed people in other parts of the world, who were victims of the terrible war. An invalid would surely be comfort ed by a sight of it, and oh! "how many stories that sun could tell." The scene seemed to breathe but rest .and peace, and as I wandered back to my home these words of the poet came singing in my ears: { And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away." ----Bea Fowler, Form I.

This lady is old, and may not be able to come to another parade like you." Then the little girl reasoned. "Well, I have tried so hard to get my seat, I do degerve it." ~~ Before long she could no ger sit still, and inally went up and said to the old ady, "Please take my place.
