months, and the opinion generally ex-
pressed, before the case was called for trial,
was that she deserved the maximum.

German mothers must expect great deal
from their daughters if the following account
can be considered as expressing the general
sentiment. II was written by German ma
tron and published in a publication for house
wives. Tho duties of a 17-year-old girl arc
thus laid down: At a. m. she is reused, and
by 7:30 she must be ready for breakfast her
self and have helped the younger children
get ready to go 70 school. After break fast,
until 10 o'clock, she does homework making
her own bed and putting in order the en-
tire house; cleaning and dusting wherever is
is necessary. Three days in the week she
spends the hours between 10 and 70 at the
dressmsker's, learning to make her clothes.
The other three days she practices on the piano
and studies English during these hours. Twice
a week she has her music lesson from - until
1. At I:30, the midday meal being over, she
helps in the work of clearing up and putting
away the food. Then she is allowed to have
fun-reading or playing dominoes with her
father-until 2:30. For an hour and a half,
until o'clock, she is expected to sew; then the
family have light luncheon which they call
coffee" Perhaps after this she goes out with
the family for little walk being home again
her. He gives her some esubjeet-literary. geo.
graphical or historical-and she writes down all
she knows about it without consulting any refer.
ence books. This over in time to help prepare
the o'clock supper; that meal finished, she
sews or embroiders erochets during the long
evening" while the members of the family take
turns in reading aloud some book. At 9
promptly the young lady is sent to bed, and
her day is completed. This schedule seems to
allow no time for accidental needs that may
arise, for individual tastes, and there hardly
seems time even to get from one duty to the
other. How long this discipline is kept up, or
whether it is lightened when there are two
daughters of nearly the same age, is not stated
by this energetic mother. The account is in
teresting to compare with the duties of IL
year old daughter here.

A MEMORIAL.
BY WILL P. CHAMBERLAIN. RIcHLAND, o. D.

Whenever the season of flowers
Returns in the smiles of May.
We think of the yoiceless loved on %
Who willingly marched away;
Away from the weeping mother,
The wife, and sweetheart true,
Down TO the fields of turmoil,
TO die for the beautiful blue.
We picture the age-bent father
Turning. with heart aflame,
From the clasp of the noble boy
His eyes shall not see again;
We hear the sound of voices,
But, oh, how sad they seem,
For on the warp of valor
A woof of tear-d drops gleam.
In silent, covered trenches
Brave souls await their God,
No marble slab is craven,
No rounded. graceful sod;
Perchanee, in starless midnight
Whose deeds NO annals tell,
They passed the unanswering picSet,
The eternal corps to swell.
Thave no word or music
To tell how / adore
The manhood and the spirit
OF those that are no more;
They ope'd their loyal bosoms
To the cruel shot and thrust,
They sleep In unknown places,
And their frames are unknown dust.

Hard, indeed, had been her struggles for work,
for bread, for shelter for herself and her
mother. From one occupation to another she
had been forced: nurse, waitress, teacher, store
girl, she had been doing faithful, earnest work,

feeling always haunting dread lest even the
scant pittances she received might be with
drawn, and they be forced to become the re-
cipients of charity.
