Work.

Say, young man, there is one thing you
cannot do. You can't make success in
life unless you work Better men than
you have tried it and failed You can't
loaf around street corners and saloons,
smoke cigars, tell fool stories, drink whiskey
and sponge on some one else without max
ing failure in life. You must learn
trade or get into some honest business. If
you don't you will be a chronic loafer, de-
spised by all, producing nothing-simply
making yourself a burden on your parents
or on the State. There is no place in the
world today for loafers. The ripe fruit is
all at the top of the tree. You must climb
it. If you wait for it to fall to your feet
you will never get it. Smarter men will
jump up and pluck it all. Move. Do
something, no matter how small 1t will
be a starter. Help yourself and Others will
help you. There is no royal path to sue
cess. Toll, grit, endurance are the
requisites. Wake up and see what you
can do,

MOTHERS ROOM.
BY II. X. porwIS.

The bright shechinah of the home
The mothers room.
How shall the spot in years to come
With memories bloom.
With treasured, living thoughts that come,
Ofspring-tide sweet
The running back TO mothers room
ofchildren's feet.
Remembered walls, so thickly hung
With scenes that last;
The glowing atmosphere pulsates
With speech long past:
The door, inviting. stands ajar;
Softly we tread,
Lingering in reverent, silent prayer
Beside her bed
How many tears and childish grieis
Have ended there.
How many youthful, hindering sins
Been covered, where
Her loving arms elung fondly round
The wayward one;
For only in her room was found
The conflict done.
How swim the speeding years fleet by.
Till plighted troth
Reveals to mothers anxious eye
Her dear ones worth.
Love breaks the circle round her chair,
AS maidens go
To be a sacred presence where
Their lives o'erflow.
Approaching manhood fills the place
In passing years
UncOnseiously her gentle face
Reveals her fears
As one by one to calls respond.
Seeking the field
Where he alone must lift the tool
His arm shall WELD.
Full soon she sits alone and waits
The glad return.
Alas. they're passed beyond the gates
Ofchildhood's home
They'll run no more with smiles and tears
To mothers place;
But in the bustling. crowded years
They'll see her face.
The patient, long remembered face,
The silvered hair
Framing the sweet eyes earnest grace
VIII meet them there.
Toward Mecca IS shrine, as pilgrims bent,
They'll seek the spot
Searching with longing eyes, intent,
But find her not.

lightning Doesn't Strike Indians.

In the course of his New Haven, Ct,
lecture, Rev. Thomas s. Dana, an educated
Indian, made this singular statement
"The Indians never cook anything in the
house. They always cook outside, giving
as their only reason that if they cook in
side the steam will collect in their clothing
and draw the lightning. Whether this
is truth or not | do not know, but | do
know this No Indian wigwam has been
struck by lightning since dawn Of history,
and no Indian has been killed with light
ning for more than 100 years. 1t seems
quite possible that Indian wigwams are
seldom or never struck by lightnings bnt
why whole race should be exempt wher7
ever they roam simply because their low
habitations don't attract the iorked fury
is. to say The least, something remarkable-
