Maud In a cemetery in one of Washington's suburbs there is a grave which is almost a national shrine, for the man whose bones are interred there was the author of Home, Sweet Home. The name of John Howard Payne is known whereveivthe English language is spoken, and it will be remembered as long as one American remains on earth. His homely little ballad has no particular merit, as either a poetical or musical conception, but deep down in the heart of every human being is a sacred ideal of hopie. Too ' bad that the1 real thing doesnt always come up to the ideal; that it is common to find a home which is neither sweet nor happy. Is yours? Of course, disappointment or bereavement jcmne to every one sooner or later. Over these things we have no control, and each home has its Individual problems, but after all there are only two kinds of troubles the sort that can be acted upon and dispersed by changing certain conditions, and the other kind that is beyond our power to change. Let us put Owen Wister's motto over I am an old our chimney piece; I have had many troubles. man. Most of them never happened, then pitch into the things we can control and let tomorrow' take care of the rest. Did you ever hear of Fitzroy Aloy-siu- s Jones? Probably not. He is 13, the pitcher for the neighborhood baseball team, has carroty hair and nose. many freckles on his The kids call him Fits. . When the spring began to stir tfle flshworms in the warm earth Fits began to beg to go up to grandpas In the country, but father was obdurate. Fits had to stay in school. Did he sit around and grouch? Did he feel sorry 'for himself and sulk? Im wasting perfectly good space to tell you that he did not. He went to the corner grocer and wheedled him out of a barrel. In every Btave of that barrel he bored four holes along its length. They were equidistant, and thus the barrel was but a framework of holes. He lined that barrel bottom and sides with straw, then took his little wagon on Saturday and hauled load after load of woods earth from a woodland a mile and a half away. In every hole in the sides of that barrel he placed a strawberry plant and on the open top he planted more 120 plants in all. Then he dug a colony of and put them in also. He said they would keep the earth stirred up in a way useful for both drainage and irrigation.. Every afternoon Fits sprayed the barrel gently with the hose, and every morning he turned it around so that each side would get the sun. Thats all, except that he supplied the family with the finest berries you ever saw and sold them to father fof top prices. tip-till- fish-wor- Whenever you get sorry for yourself and feel that conditions are hopeless, remember Fits. He wanted to farm. He had no place to do It in except a back yard about as big as a prayer rug, and that was concrete In his- owh words, it was a rotten prospect," but that didnt stop Fits, because Instead of sitting on the back steps and worrying about what a hard life his father made him lead, or grouching around, he got busy. Every time his neighbor goes out on his back steps he laughs at himselh Every time be sees that barrel he discounts the little poem about opportunity knocking but once at the door and never coming bask unless some one answers the bell. The worthwhile things of life grow out of necessities, and it may be that the difficulties in our home life are opportunities for us to grow if we are really worth while. There is a strange tendency in most of us to keep our good manners for acquaintances and strangers and to display our irritability and selfishness in the home circle. Qf course, home should be a place where w feel free from restraint, ' where we can say what we really think and do what we want to do, but isnt it strange we should ever want to say or do what will hurt or annoy those whom we love best? If there is discord in your home, maybe you have been overexercising this tendency. Parents should not hesitate to correct childrens faults or refuse them pleasures which would be harmful deed where children, are tught po-t- o them, but it is a rare home and forbearance by example. We should at least be as courteous to our little children whose training is in our hands as we are to the stranger or friend who may be with us for a moment and then pass out of our life. Another thing which grown-u- p members of any home should cultivate is the gentle art of letting each other alone. You may love the members ot,your family devotedly; you may be willing and ready at all times to sacrifice your own comfort and pleasure for them, but if your love is unreasonable or exacting, if you nag and criticize and Interfere in things which really do not matter one way or the other, you need search no further for the discordant note. It is not reasonable to expect nor Is it necessary that all should, have the same tastes, care for the same books or amusements, or choose the same friends. But each should respect the others right to. choose for himself. Dont worry. At least, if you must stew, dont boil over and make everyone else miserable. The way some people anticipate trouble you might suppose worry a Jure cure for it.
