A Mothers Love.

heavens above and is not to be com
pared with earthly things. This fact
has many times been exemplified, and
the extreme hardships undergone re-

err OF the two Dunawas boys who were
hanged at this place recently, was only
another substantiating instance OF
this assertion. After learning that
the principal chief had refused to par
don her boys or commute the death
sentence the old lady was wild with
grief and determined to 90 to the chief
in person and make last appeal to
him for their lives. The distance
from Mrs. Sixkiller's home in Going
Snake district to Chief Mayes's resi-
dence on Grand River is not less than
ninety miles. Although an aged and
feeble woman OF 40 years she made
this long journey afoot and alone.
And all in vain!
Her pleadings with the stern old
chief came to naught, and the heart
broken mother was back at this place
the day before the hanging so that she
might be with her doomed boys dur,
ing their last hours on earth.
When she left her home Mrs Six

when she arrived in Tahlequah hei

she was in an utterly exhausted con

THE tendency of late, in the con-
struction of warships, has been in the
direction Of ponderousness. The
building of iron-clad vessels, as nearly
impregnable as they could be made
and float has necessitated also the
making Of guns of corresponding size
and power. The principle that light
ness, swiftness and dexterity are bet
ter equipments for fighting than bulk
and weight seems to have been lost

lenses. there has been discussion

Royalty In Wigs.

1t seems that the hair on the heads
OF royal ladies turns gray quite like
that OF ordinary mortals. This
discovery arises from discussion
over the guardianship Of the Princess
OF Wales, whom everybody here has
grown accustomed to think OF as
possessing the trick OF perpetual
youth. Mr.. Labouchere has, however,
pointed out that she wears wig,
and it appears that this is constructed
by an artistoffabulous craftsmanship,
whose identity is a profound state
secret. The ex-Queen Isabella is said,
however, to have obtained his address
by fra,kly throwing herself on the
mercy OF the gentle-hearted Princess,
with the result that her iron-gray

placed by jaunty, short, chestnut
curls. Moved by envy OF these, the

Once or twice a week take a "speeder"

should bear in mind: never leave your
race on the river, that is, never row
six races a week before the day OF the
race comes. 1t stands to reason that
no man can row as hard as he Is able,
each day, and be in better condition
the day OF the race than when he began
training.

THE wise tendency of our age is to
liberality Of opinion. The time has
gone by when boy or young girl
must smuggle story-book into his or
her bedroom, and awake in the gray
dawn to devour it. Those phillipics
pronounced by Puritanical parents
against any books of lighter character
than Pilgrims Progress. are become
with other expressions perhaps more
or less needful to their times. things
of the past. To-day we hear quite to
the contrary. People are accused,
and in many instances justly, of read.
ing nothing but what is termed
.Iight" literature. In either case
there is perhaps too much of the posi-
tive. To forbid young people the cul.
ture and knowledge OF human nature
which may be gained from a we'll
written novel is severely blameable.
To allow young people to devote THEN
whole course OF reading to authors o.
modern romance is censurable neglect.

No COLLEGE undertakes to furnish
brains to its students. Its functions
are to train such brains as young men
bring with them. No college can make
a man of ability of youth who has
no ability. and indeed no college can
even educate man without his own
effort. Every man who is educated at
all is self-educated. Schools and col
leges are valuable aids to him in the
work of self-education, but it is he
and not they who must do that work.
