HIS GREATEST HELP.
The Best Thing Is to Have Had
 a Good Mother.

Noting the tendency of mothers to escape the care and responsibility ot training their own children, resorting to nurses, governesses, kindergartens, etc, Edward W. Box, in the November Ladies' Home Journal, vigorously con- 1 tends that woman should consider her God.given duties to her children vastly paramount to every "claim" that can be made upon her time. Ut is one of the most baleful tendencies of the times" writes MT. Box. "that young children are placed so much and so en- tirely in the hands of nurses and so far away from their mothers. l do not think that women exactly realize what the early teachings and influences of a mother mean to man when he reaches years of maturity. The time which a boy spends at his mothers knee IS never forgotten by the man. Our mo- rality is learned there. Our characters are formed there. We are most im- questionable when we are in stage of absolute dependence upon others What sort of a recollection is it for a man to look back upon line of nurses and governesses What moral stimu- lus does he receive from the recollection of mother inevitably reading some novel and resting with languid stupor with fan and smelling bottle !? What moral fiber is instilled into child who sees his mother only as she fits before him betwern morning calls, Iuncheons, meetings, teas, drives, dinners and theater-parties? What does boy learn at the knee of a nurse 2 Good ? Per haps. But just as often he learns that which is not good. Many a man has stood at the forks of the road in his life, broken hearted and perplexed, only to have his mothers words, ut tered to him when a child, come before him and point him the way. It is then that he realizes that the best thing in the world to man is to have had a good mother, watchfu ful, tender and anx- iOus as only mother can be where her child Is concerned. In those supreme moments the lesson taught-not by the nurse, not by stranger, not at the kindergarten, but at the mothers knee-becOmes precious recollection and benediction. It means then a mans salvation. And in that quiet moment a man thinks of a good mother as he never thinks of any other woman. look of tenderness comes into his eyes, feeling of softness creeps into his heart. and the attitude of his ear Hest infancy comes to him as uncon- sciousIy, he looks upward and breathes to himself the most precious of all words: Mother It remains for the mothers of to-day to determine how much that word vii! mean to the men of tomorrow.

 Group is terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item, The origin of croup is common cold. Children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup Is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain 8 Cough Remedy is freely given all ten- dency to croup will soon disappear.

SAGE ADVICE.

Ex-Governor Hughes, who has been there and knows all about it, discourses as follows in the editorial columns of a late number of hIs paper, the Tucson Star.
 To hose who are hungering after some of the federal pie, we would suggest that there is more money, more satisfaction and peace of mind in pursuing some industrial or professional busi' ness. Nothing so units man for the real en- joyment ot life as scrambling for office, for al best they cost more than they come to, and when you have got them there arc so many others who want to get them that at best they are little but vanity and vexation of spirit. Our advice is, let those who make office-holding their pro- fession assume the struggle alone, and you stay with your legitimate business. if you would en. joy peace of mind and the solid comforts of life
 The governor has had his full share of experience, and can bear testimony to the fact that uneasy lies the head that" is covered by federal commis. sion

A Puzzled Voter.
[San Francisco Post 1


 An old man In the Forty-third Assem- bly, district spent twenty minutes in a voters booth last Tuesday and then dropped his general ticket in the ballot box without mark on it. When ques- toned as to his reasons for his unusual act he explained:
 Well, didn't want to vote the Dem ocratic ticket because 1 believe in pro- lection; couldn't vote for Mckinley because I favor free silver, and that same reason kept me from voting for the Gold Democratic ticket, ProhIbi ton can never get my vote, so there l was"
 "Then why did you put in ballot at all? inquired bystander.
 "Well, was entitled to vote, and as Icouldn't make up my mind how to cast it I thought would leave it to the ele- tion officers and let them count it any way they please" l"
 sYes, but they can't count it at all. '' "They can't, eh? We'll, you don't know that board. I'll make small bet that they count it twice. And he got no takers.

The Atlantic & Pacific.
1Albubueraue Democrat

DeuOCTdLI
 Nothing is definitely known as to when the Atlantic & Pacific road will likely be sold, but if those who are in- terested in the property are wise, they will not be Tn any hurry about making a change, since the road is doing better under it's present management than it ever did before. Since Receiver Smith was put into possession of the road everything has been run on business principles, and it is no more than just to hun, and to the receivers agent, MT. Sweet, and the general superin ntendent, Mir. Wells, to say that there is not any, where in the United States to-day a railway that is better or more carefully managed than the Atlantic ..& Pacific. Tine expenses have been greatly re- duced. while the efficiency of the serY- Ice, instead of being impaired thereby, has been steadily improved. With the competent aud economical management that this property has at present, if the road ran through country that could give It even fair local traffic, it would be able to meet all it's obligations com fortably and pay dividends on It's stock. but when a railway 800 miles long gets business only at it's two ends and none between, it's managers have a "con- tract such as other railroad people know nothing of.
 The property is in good condition, and instead of running down, as is too fre- quently the case with bankrupt lnstitu- tions, is thoroughly kept up, and IS becoming more valuable every day.

GENERAL MILES recommendation of an increase of the army IS very gener- ally disapproved. Every public journal that has referred to the subject has con- demned tine proposition in very positive terms. In closing an article on the subject, the Denver Republican says :. "There should be a military force in every state to supplement the civil power of that state, but it should be under the state government. The prop CT thing tO do is to strengthen and inn prove the national guard. Doubtless 1t is natural for General Miles, regular army officer, to wish to see the regular army increased, but his view IS not in accordance with the best interests of the country"
