Special Letter to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, Jan. Al am
firm believer in this: ''Their works do
live after Them" and how can it be
otherwise? A mother in Israel has gone
away on that journey from which none
return to tell US of the great beyond.
But she has left monument to her
memory in the children that gathered
around her grave at Carrolton.
OH Jan. 2, when Mrs. Cath
crime Healy was laid away
athies of the community were with
them, and more so with her son who
was coming home from Sioux City to
make her long visit, and bringing with
him his gift to her. And she lying
dead. 1t seemed impossible for him to
submit to Him who doeth all things
well'' and be reconciled to the inevita-
BILE. Her daughter Miss Bridget
Healy. known to many as Sister
Winnefred, an accomplished teacher in
the Sisters" school at st. Paul.
came home. but received a summons to
return at once, and was compelled to
take the train just as the funeral cor
tege came into town, and could not at
tend the last services rendered to her
mother. The sympathies of all were
with her. Every child of this woman
occupies prominent position, and they
are all educated men and women, so
that this dead mother

or ostentation. Has she not done well
IN her duty and life work. In their
lives so far they have honored her. If
every mother will try and do her duty
as well, then, indeed, may this nation
rise above all others. Although of
foreign birth, she has given US
the benefit of her life and example.
1t is the mothers, we are told, that
mould public opinion by their teaching,
precept and example, and sometimes
the blame rests on her shoulders when
the father is the one to be condemned.
But was it not old Adam that shirked
the responsibility of the sin he had
committed by saying: 1.-The woman
Thou gavest me. she tempted me and
did eat" But it is to be hoped that in
time this saying, and laying all the

any, will rest where it properly belongs.
And | hope and shall believe that in
time all the womenof these United
States of America will be true to them
selves and by all good and earnest en-
deavor rise above aud beyond the re-
uuirements of fashions fOllies, and be-
come superior in all that pertains to the
giddy round of pleasure, as we see it
enacted at present. That day may be
distant, but there is strong undercur-
rent which may bring in that day of
grace, and give us all new insight into
our duties to ourselves and own fell
low traveller along the thorny pain
which leads up the mountain side of a
life worth living and worth living for.
That should be the sole aim of every
mother-to train her children up to a
higher and better life, to make them
see that though they be only one indi.
vidually, yet they help to make up the
whole of the community, and that, too.
for good or ill; and each one will be
judged according to their deeds, whether
they wish it or not: each is responsible,
and can not throw the blame on any
other person. Mothers, help the good
time along!
