Importance of Keeping Promises.
By EDITH LOCHRIDGE REID.
To the child a promt? Is as ser :
ous and binding as a ■promi-'-orv n.iioj
to a banker. Not all notes are pairi^
it must be admitted; n ither are all!
promises kept thaw* are made by!
mothers. Sometimes a child got>
noisy at a club %r public meeting,
an# In order to re/tore peace, moth-!
er whispers that if Johnny will k< pj
Eltfll be can have a nice big box c.'
candy alfter»Tard3. So although it is
mighty hard work lor the tot to ton 1
trol his energy, he does manage to
calm down and behave with th
thought of this unusual reward. Then
tho moetting is finally over, it in late1
and when Johnny begins to clamorj
for paymcnll due as promised, mother j
dodges her obligation by saying tht'
it is near supper time an 1 she must
get home, and there isn't ajj.v store
near-by, where candy can be pur
chased and won't Johnny PLEASE
be satisfic'd if she’ll ,promt" to pop
him some corn while sh gets sup-,
per. 13 it any 'wonder that Johnny 1
sit.3 down on the sidewalk and w:ri (
and kicks his heels anil makes a
scene? No doubt passers by remark
whalt an ugly disposition that child
has and Ihow hard it must be to
manage him Now this mother made
two mistakes. First, she never
should have made a promise that was
really a hrilbe3. Probably little son
twias too small to take to such a
long meeting and remain quiet. Hut
bribe or no bribe, once she had
promised to got that box of caddy
she should have done so if the family
had nothing hut sandwiches for sup,
per, (because she wn3 trailing a candy
slbop.
Another thoughtless mistake moth
ers make is keeping promises half
heartedly. Mary comes out in the
kitchen just as mother 4s kneading
hr-ad and begs for a story. "Run
along a little while, dear, and when
I'm not so busy we’ll read a n!c i
l nr '.ary.” So Mary in all good
faith plays quietly and contentedly |
on the 1 rength of this promise, an i
after what seems ages to her, she
once more approaches mother, who
i". now at the sowing machine. "Oh,
I’m > anxious to finish this dress,
and as soon as 1 do I'll nead you a
story If you're very, very good tintil!
then,” says mother. Then a caller
comes and afltor that it's meal time
again and Mary's confidence in prom
ises goes nickering. She stamps her
li'tltlo foot and pouts, so mother says,
“Well, if you're going to act naughty
and worry mother, I'll read; bring
your book here.” Then without any
spirit of sympathy or enjoyment she
reads the shortest .story she can find
in order to appease Mary's tantrum,
and she considers she has kept her
promise.
So our first thought as mothers
must be not to make too m iny pro- j
mises. Belter a surprise now and
then, than a promise broken. And!
second, once a promise is made,;
never fail to fulfill it, not from the!
viewpoint of mother and her interest,
but entirely from the child's attitude
of expectancy. It is difficult and in
convenient at times, but not nearly
ns difficult as it is to regain ,thu
lost confidence of the child, for if
it li ero is a key wo’•cl in successful
discipline it is CONFIDENCE.
BRADLEY TELLS STORY
OF KELLOGG'S MULE
THAT UNCOVERED.MINE
The San Fran; ico Bulletin of May
33 contains the following account bv
Fred W. Bradley of 'the discovery
elf the Bunker HIM and Sullivan Mine
by Noah Kellogg's mule, which was
printed with a picture of Mr. Brad
ley :
“Taint no idle yarn or fairy tali
about Noah Kellogg's nmle winning
Kellogg $750,000 '.
"A restless kick and pawing uncov
ered a rich silver and lead mine in
the Cocur d'Alene country of North
ern Idaho.
“Fred W. Bradley, the mining en
gineer in the Crocker building and
president of the Bunlter 1 i'll and
Sullivan Mine in (ho Coour d’Alene
country, said today that Kellogg’s
mule did that very thing.
“ ‘It is (ns true as Is the tact that
I'm talking to you now,' said Brad
lev today.
“William H. Crocker, the local
hanker, and Ogden Mills and Mrs.
I Whdtela'w Held, widow of the late
| Ambassador Whttelaw Reid, both of
I New York, are Bradley's partners in

mule first uncoverel.
“There is new smelted at the mine,

FAIR BOARD
LAYS PLANS
FOR EXHIBIT
Investigation Being Made for
Suitable Quarters—Farm
ers Plan Big Exhibit.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Southeastern Alaska Fair this
week, plans were la'id for prepara
tion of the premium list of 191:3.
The question of quarters for the
Fa'lr was discussed and an investi
gation is being made as to a suit
able location. It is expected con
siderable more space than that used
last year, will be necessary for the
exhibition this fall.
Essays, submitted to the Hoard by
the schools of Southeastern Alaska
on "Advantages to He Gained by
Southeastern Alaska from Holding
an Annual Fair,” were taken up
but no definite action was taken
because the schools were given until
May 31 last to mail the essays.
On account of the large expense,!
the Board deemed it inadvisable to|
make any inducements to tbe pro-'
position made by a letter from the
Pacific-Alaska Exhibition Co., of I
Vancouver, B. 0., in which the com-1
pany proposed to bring a company!
of 4(1 people and approximately 60 '
tons of freight, including a merry-j
go-round and ferris wheel, to Ju -1
neau for the fair. The company
would supply three shows under
canvas and also a s-axaphone band
and dance orchestra.
Several friers from farmers in
Southeastern Alaska stated that
they are planting crops this season
for exhibition purposes.
A number of applications were
read and discussed, for concessions
ta the Fair but no definite arrange
ments were made regarding the
handling of conceseions for the
present.

'/.'ALTER S JOSEPMSOM AT SUCCESSFUL. TEST
A ten-year-old girl turned a
■mall valve and lifted into the air
■ 11,600-pound truck in a second's
time before the Long Isltnd City,
N. Y„ Courthouse, recently.
It was the first public deanon
ftration of a new device for storing
and releasing portable power. An
•Id force in nature had been har
. (leased in a new way to adapt it to
■cores of uses for everybody. It
was aaid to be probably the first
I time in history that so great a •
volume of immediately available j
Stored energy had been bottled up
as a convenient public utility.
' A famous mechanical engineer,
Walter 8. Josepbson of New York, I
working day and r.igl t for tbe last j
two years, bad made the miracles i
possible.
Tbs small steel bottle the little 1
girl held ip her hand eonta'ned a
potential lifting power of 80,000
Alter tile truck had been lifted
the crowd saw seven-year-old
Howard Josephson lift a heavy
touring car. Connecting the ateel
bottle with a tube he inflated a tire j
from flat in three seconds, and a i
little later used the contents of the
steel bottle to chill and carbonate
water in a single operation.
The demonstrations, it was aaid,
were but the prelude to the almost
innumerable uses to which it is ex
pected the stored power will be put.
If a man is pinioned under a itreet
car. it was stated, the car can be as
readily lifted as the truck, by a
policeman, molorman or car con
ductor at almost a moment’s notice,
extricating the victim.
“Our experiments today were
only preliminary," said Mr. Joaepb
son, later in his mechanical labora
tory at Hunter's Point. “We have
been able to bottle the power of a
highly expansible liquid in a amall
steel flask that a man can tun
about inhia pocket wherayar hal
(toes, without connection with a
main source of power. And he can
use the power whenever he wants
and as much or aa little of it jes he
desires. He can carry it to the top
of the mountain or to the heart of
a desert and use it aa readily as in
workshop or foundry. He can store
it away Jor several years if need
be andaraw on it when needed.
“We are developing our power
containers with a view to their re
frigeratlve possibilities. We have a
soda water device to chill and car.
bonate water in the home and ex
pect it will be possible to make soda
water for less than one cent a glass
In the home. We ' aye Ijeen asked
to make experiments for the re
frigeration of fruit cars and aspect
ihortly to have a car at our dlspoa
