MY MOTHERS CHAMBER.

MY MOTHERS CHAMBER.
Sitting i'll my mothers chamber,
And the twilight curtains fall,
While sacred spell OF silence
Casts her mantle over all.
Many sad and pleasing fancy
Fits across my busy brain
Thoughts of mother-O, SO tender!
Weave theirsmystic spell again.
Sitting Ill my mothers chamber,
And the moonlight's pearly beam
Llngers on each sacred treasure
Like sweet and tender dream.
Many years have waned and faded,
But my heart has not grown cold,
For / love and think of mother
With the tender love of old.
MEMORY GEMS.
All along the path of duty flowers o.
happiness bloom thick and fair-they
crowd the wayside.
Mothers words will 1inger and comfort
us long after the snowy bloom has faded
from memory.

LEFT BY WILL.
BY FRANK LEE BENEDICT.

Concluded from last week.
Before Elsie could find voice to
explain, her mother said,
Mrs. Conyers, it is past tc:1
O'Clock. AS your wards tutor is
doubtless fatigued, it would be a
kindness on your part to have him
shown to his room, where he can
finish his mirth at his leisure"
"Oh, mamma, this is Lester
Warne!" cried Elsie. "This is the
boy we have been expectingl Oh,
Mr.. Warne, mamma ordered q
huge rocking-horse for you last
week, and "a Shetland pony; you
shall ride them both tomorrow"
"With pleasure said he; "and
you shall wear the beautiful gold

| did not know what to buy for an
elderly lady, and so I hit on
those" "
When Mrs. harrington was at
last made to comprehend the truth,
she was shocked and mortified; but
the absurdity of the thing was too
much even for her grandeur, and
she laughed more heartily than
anybody had seen her do in twenty
years.
"Mr. Montagu, the lawyer, will
be up tomorrow" Mrs. harrington
said; she will know how to man
age. Of course, Elsie must resign
her-ha, ha a!-the guardianship al
once"
"Not bit of itl' cried Warne
resolutely. II don't believe sht
can. She has accepted the trust
she is my guardian, and must stay
so for year yet. I do not reaci

fve-that is in my fathers will

All laughed again.

The next day Mr.. Montagu, Il
e, lawyer, arrived, according to a
rangement. The absurdity of tt
- business was too much at first eve
for his legal composure.
' After q long conversation, t
matter was definitely settled. M
Montagu decided that to attem
rs any changes would only give add
publicity to the business, and pr
haps be the means of exposi
ts' Mrs. Conyers to unpleasant
marks. She could perfectly W
sign the checks whereby "l

and, as far as their neighbors W,
D concerned, it would be easy enou
to make them suppose that M
Darlington was the guardian, Il
is, if it was found necessary toi

Elsie or her mother were of

JOHN L. In BOSTON POLITICS
Good Campaign Document.
Santa clara Nave


Santa Clara News.
The ca ndidacy of John L. Sullivan for the
Mayoralty of the city OF B ,ston is causing
comment all over the country, and the blue
bloods of the Hub are said to be considera ply
agitated over the possibility that he may be
elected. He is making Il vigorous canvass and
has the support of large and active element
that constitutes q power in politics. His entry
in the political arena is the outcome of
slight given to him by Mayor Joshua Quincy
in refusing TO shake hands with him at d pub
lie reception.
Sullivan declared that he would get his re-
venge by running for Mayor for the purpose
OF beating Quincy. Friends have rallied 10
his support III such numbers that it Is posi-
BILE he may be elected. The article published
in THE CALL Sunday, in which Sullivan out
lined mis- policy if elected, reads very we'll,
and, outside of its flavor of the prize ring. is
very good campaign document and is likely
to appeal strongly to the prof etariate. The
government of the large cities is now SO no.
toriOusly corrupt and i'm beetle in many re-
spects that it would seem as if no greater dis
grace could be heaped upon them. Viewed
in this light, Mr.. Sullivan's election should
not be regarded as very serious Calamity.

Chicago Chronicle,

Dr. Arehinard OF New Orleans is the most
recent bacillus discoverer. He has segregated
the germ of yellow fever. This will no doubt
be hailed as a scientific triumph by medical
gentlemen who pass their time peering into
microscopes, but its utility will not be appar-
ent TO the layman. Pasteur's iscoveries of
the baci.li of various diseases have contrlbu-
ted little or nothing toward the prevention or
the cure or those diseases. What is needed is
the discovery not Of the cause, but OF the cure
for bacterial infections. The search for bacilli

England creamery brought lower prices than

quality of the products; the difference was in
the size OF the packages. With closer study
of English tastes American butter, which on
