Farmers In the Red River Valley are
I'm great distress because they have no
seed wheat for the spring sowing, and
200 of them recently held meeting, at
which they drew up a vigorous appeal
to the Minnesota Legislature for aid.
This condition of affairs is not due 10

GOSSIPING.

Has it ever occurred, we wonder, to the
great world OF mothers that they are
largely responsible for the reputation her
sex has for gossiping? Undoubtedly this
thought has never found place in their
mental economy, yet il they were to study
out the problem they would find that the
writer's premises are correct The innate
curiosity that is part of feminine nature
one upon the ways and manners of the
household in which the child has been
visiting Encouraged by the interest mani
tested in the recital the next time the
small daughter spends an hour away from
home she uses her eyes and ears to rare adj
vantage and is ready to even enlarge upon
the humdrum details in order to make her
audience more appreciative.
Then as time goes on and the child de-
velops into a ull-tledged gossip and pro-
badly mischeif-make the mother wonders
from whom she could have inherited OF
where she could have acquired such a
dreadful habit.
We will be charitable enough to support
that masculine gossips are made in the
same way for there are such creatures,
many Of them, and in them the trait seems
more reprehensible than when it appears
in the feminine make up, yet why should
it be so considered if it, along with other
keen instincts was fostered by the mother
when the mind was receptive ard ready to
be moulded to any form? All, mothers,
your responsibilities are many, your bur-
den great. The formation of character
that lies in your slender fingers is task
Of stupendous moment; therefore watch
carefully, lest through your own curiosity
you SOW the seeds of fault that is the
root and groundwork of many greater
| evils

THE SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH

The philosophers OF old spent their lives
in its quest, and did not find it. Simple
enough is the answer, according to "Sister
Frances" in the New Budget. 'For a
man, she says, cit is to love one woman
we'll" An old man need never become
older than his son in demeanor it he pre-
serves for his old wife all the first tender
ness and first enthusiasm OF his early love.
Such an affection is very different from that
with which old men regard their old wives,
feeling that springs mostly from duty and
partly from force of habit. 1t is the love
OF an old paterfamiliaS, and very different
from the love of a lover that in some finely
constituted natures lasts through half a
lifetime of welded life. And when the
husband remains lover all his life, it fol
lows that the wife remains young also. As
for the children, they lind their most con.
genial companions in such father aud such
a mother so that the advantage to every
member of the family is virtually priceless
"Frances" gives several instances of such
homes OF happiness. One of these was that
of friend who was enthusiastically proud
of his father, and the reason was apparent
when she had met the family. The sisters
We're charming, the brothers were pleasant
and full of fun, and the mother was a
sweet, bright old lady, who, though Il
chronic invalid, seemed perfectly contentcd
with the world, and with her share in it,
Then, when the father came home, it was
/ plain why the old lady was SO pretty and
the children so nice. The father, though
white haired, was still young man, and a
delightful one. To both the girls and boys
he was the best and most sympathetic com
panion and friend, and what could better
conduce to the perfect happiness OF such Il
household? That would depend greatly
on the woman many people would say
Not in Frances y opinion, at all events
for she says that "women in these cases
were just ordinary, pleasant old ladies, no
whit different from many we see neglected
by their husbands, or loved in perfunctory
way An ordinary man would have loved
them in an ordinary way, and would have
grown into an old fogy. These men had
the gift of loving, and found it to be the
gift Of perpetual youth-no less.

WHAT WE INHERIT

We are not to blame for. We cannot be
held responsible for the dispositions and
tendencies which we derive from our ances-
tors, nor are we responsible for the germs
OF disease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from former gene
rations. But we are responsible if we al
low these germs to develop into serious
diseases which will impair our usefulness
and destroy our happiness. We are re-
sponsible il we transmit to our descendants
the disease germs it is possible for us to
eradicate by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the one true blood purifier. This med
icine has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place of
disease.

afternoon. Hs used an iron rod instead

mite in tho rock that was To be blasted,
