WORDS TO MOTHERS.
Always Require Their Daughters
TO Be Adopts in Homework.

Special to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Minn., Sept. What
mortals we are! how we see the way
we must go. yet we hesitate and move
not on, because the ground before is
hallowed and sanetified by dead
mothers love; she who loved us with
an unselfish and an undying love, went
| down into her grave while we were yet
young! She had eOunSeled and adj
vised. had given many a glimpse into
her heart OF hearts of what she wished
her child TO become as the years went
by and she should grow up into woman
hood: but il was all a rOse-cOlOred pict-
IRE of life to be lived in the years to
come.
Oh. little mother mine, if | lift the veil
before the Utmost sanctuary OF my

and it was not required of me. There
was always plenty of girls looking for a
home and work to earn their living. so
was not taught that most of all neces-
SaTy accomplishment of life. Mothers
of to-day, with your daughters at home
with you. ask you TO heed my request.
Teach your daughters to be
GOOD HoUSEKEEPERS.
and you may rest assured that one
source of happiness is theirs for all
what your circumstances may be or the
future has in store for them, they
will never regret the fact
ii the whirligig of time may
throw them on the barren sands OF
pOverty's domain and leave them desti-
tute they will have that accomplish
ment and that happiness will stand by
them still. Do not think no circum-
stances can arise to bring such crisis
in their lives. Teach them kindly. low
ngly and very patiently that it is
necessary they should know how work
Shonld be done. teach them from their
childhood TO do little light work until
they become interested in if. and then
your labor of love will be light.
and let her have charge of your
household and direct its affairs.
never indulge your children in idle
hours day after day as weeks go by, but
provide some light employment, if it is
ONLY DRESSING DOLLS
for the baby in its crib. Diversity the
work for her and never let her grow
weary of anything you wish her to do.
unless circumstances are sucn you can
not vary her employment as you wish,
but teach her patience under all of her
childish difficulties. and let her see that
many time and often she will be
forced to do many diSagreeable things
that must be done by patient diligence
and great care.
This may be very weariSOme to you.
but it is your duty to train that child
in the way she should go and will have
to 90 for aught that YOU can tell or
learn of the future. You will be com
PEELED to do good many diSagreeable !
things and maybe suffer painfully, but |
it is the burden of our mothers love and |
nature. \ burden we are compelled to /
bear and let us bear it as patiently as
we can and do our work faithfully unto |
the end. l have more TO say on this i
subject and l hope mothers will be |
patient with me for a time
