MOTHERS TURN.
at is mothers turn to be taken care
of now?"
The speaker was winsOme young
girl, whose bright eyes, fresh color and
eager looks told of light hearted happi-
ness Just out of school, she had the
air of culture which is an added attrac-
ton to a blithe young face. 1t was
mothers turn now. Did she know
how my heart went out to her for her
unseltish wordsg Too many mothers
i'll their love for their daughters, en-
tirely overlook the idea that they them
selves need recreation. They do with
out all the easy, pretty and charming
things, and say nothing about it, and
the daughters do not think there isany
self denial involved. Jennie gets the
new dress and mother wears the old
one, turned upside down and wrong
side out. Lucy goes on the mountain
trip, and mother stays at home and
keeps house. Emily is tired of study
and must lie down in the afternoon;
but mother, though her back aches,
has no time for such indulgency. Girls,
take good care for your mothers. Coax
them to let you relieve them of some
of the harder duties which, for years,
they have patiently borne.
The launching of the new McDou-
gall ship today was undoubtedly the
most important and significant event
of that nature which will occur on the
lakes this season. The boat, called
'I02," embodies all of Capt. McDou-
gals ideas which were exemplifed in
the boat launched last year and added
thereto are some very important i'm
prOvements and notifications. This
boat can carry larger load of wheat
than any craft on the lakes. A hun
dred thousand bushels can be taken in
her. No other lake boat can take as
much and pass the Sault. Boats which
are fifty feet longer than the zoe" can
not take as much grain as she can by
one-fourth while the expense of navi-
eating the 'l02" is far below what it
costs TO navigate boats of the usual
pattern. The McDougall boats mark
an era in lake freight transportation

old John Hanks, the bovhood
friend and distant relative of Abraham
Lincoln, died at his farm near De-
catur, Ill, last week, aged eighty eight.
1t was on his farm and while in the
employ of Hanks that Lincoln became
noted as railsplitter, and it was old
John Hanks who, in 1860, introduced
the railsplitting feature into the ex-
element of the Lincoln campaign, fur
nishing rails from his farm split by
Lincoln. In that campaign Hanks,
heretofore strong democrat, spent
nearly $1,000 and gave a barbecue at
his farm, where he fed 5000 people
The affection existing between John
Hanks and Mr.. Lincoln continued
through their lifetime.
