Scientific motherhood means more than
a casual thought can grasp. 1t means a
grander, nObler race, an altruiStic hu-
manity which shall fit the earth for the
SaviOr'S advent. 1t means the refOrma-
ton of the drunken, the redemption OF
the criminal, the repentance of the muir
derer. the abolition of aSylumS for blind,
dumb and insane. 1t is evident that Wo-
mans most imperative duty to the gov

types Of men and women and it is equally
evident that a scientific motherhood is
necessary. to the proper performance of
this duty
But all duty is reciprocal and it is the
duty of the government which seeks the
an opportunity for the attainment of this
scientific motherhood which will be
fraught with much good to the nation.
Scientific motherhood will give marked
impetus while restricted to a for
tunate few. 1t can be done through the
establishing by the government of a ma
tional training school for women, where
the women of the nation shall be trained
in the science of domeSticity and peace.

Davis had taken his bride with him
on a business trip. At Hamburg he
was mistaken by the moonshiners for
a revenue officer. The illicit distil-
lers besieged the couple in the little
Hamburg hotel. They battered down
the door, and, overpowering the hus
band, dragged Mrs. Davis, frightened
almost speechless. downstairs. Some
of the reputable citizens of the town re-
captured the young wife. The pair
were hastily conducted to a store
where they were barricaded in, and 20
armed men stood guard over them

king Tomrny's Rise and Fan.

King TOmnny's Rise and Fall.
Tommy was ruled by his father and mother,
Tommy was bossed by his older brother.
Tommy was tyrannized over each hour
By very small maid with the face of flower
But one day Tommy was given a wheel,
And he felt like king on a throne of steel.
Now a sudden rise from a serf to king
Has always proven a dangerous thing.
The people who come into power too quick
Go up like rocket and down like stick.
King Tom, before the frst day was done.
Was emperor, sultan and car in one.
He owned the pavement. He owned the street
He ran the officers off their beat.
He frightened the ooachmen out of their wits
AS he scorched right under their horses bits.
Pedestrians fed when they saw him approach.
He caused disaster to carriage and coach.
For he never turned out. and his pace never
slowed.
His bell was a signal to clear the road.
And would not repeat, indeed, not l.
What the trucknen said when his bike went
by.
King Tom only winked in their eyes, with q
grin,
Proud of lis power to make them sin.
And holder and holder each day he grew,
AND raster ana raster MS bicycle lew.
And he was certain he owned the earth
And all that was it from girth to girth.
And he always got of without hurt scratch.
Till all OF q sudden he met his match.
ReigninR one time in his usual splendor.
He came face to face with a cables fender.
He rang his bell for the right of way,
But biker may ring till his hair turns gray,
And cable its cousin, trolley,
Will pay no heed to that sort OF folly.
All that King Tom recalls of that day
Was riding into the milky way,
Where he saw all the stars in the heavens. Well,
There isn't much more of his reign to tell.
He gave his wheel to his brother Bill
And walks two crutches, and always will.
And he says as he looks at his wooden leg,
81 went up like rocket and down like peg"

monstrated against him so exposing
himself when there was no special
necessity for it. During the first
of the seven days fighting near
Richmond he was exposed to the
enemy's fire, and Gen. Lee ordered
him to quit the field. Some days
after when Gen. Lee appeared in
the cabinet, Mr.. Davis jocularly
said he had supposed he was COM
mander-in-chief, but that Gen. Lee
had ordered him from the field.
On the day of the battle between
Richmond and Petersburg saw Mr.,
Davis, in company with Gen. Beau
regard, under a brisk fire of cannon
and shrapshooters for a considerable
time, during which several persons
were hit, and one soldier boy stand
ing near the president had this arm
shot off by shell. At the request
of some of the officers l urged him
to leave the field, as his exposure
to the fire of the enemy was I'M
necessary. In the cabinet the next
morning, referring to my advice
that he should quit the field the even
ing before, he said he felt as / did,
that he could render no service there,
but added that sit would have been
an unpleasant thing to ride off under
fire."
President Davis had the chivalric
courage of a Richard Occur de Lion,
and the Roman virtue, constancy,
and love of liberty of Cato. God
bless his memory.

HOWARD Pulling for a Pardon.

MEMPHIS, May 4.-(Special. J
Rev. G. F. B. Howard, whose
trial and conviction in the United
States Court at Jackson, Tenn, was
heralded over two continents, is
making desperate attempt to induce
the present administration to pardon
him. He still has three years and
five months to serve.
Since his confinement in the peni-
Tertiary at Columbus, Ohio, he has
been the editor of prison paper, and
that has thrown him in communioa-
ton with many editors of the State.
Using that, with the fact that Mr..
Mckinley happened to be an Ohio
man, he has gotten hundreds of
strong letters to the President from
men of the Presidents own State.
Their letters are now in the hands
of Judge Hammond. All the letters
show that the writer's had heard of
only one side of the case, and that
the case was stated most adroitly by
Howard himself. Each of them
refers to the prosecution as having
been malicious, and states that there
was, and still is, doubt as to the guilt
of the convicted man.
