STORIES IN PASSING.

The little mother sat in her pew at
church, somewhat tired from the length
OF the service. The light stealing through
the stained windows overhead dropped
in blue and red patches on her gown.
but she did not notice this. She was
lost in the thought OF her two boys away
at college. She was thinking OF them

ming Of the service, but dropping off to
sleep during the sermon, each with a
curly head against her shoulder and q
chubby hand grasping hers as il they
feared to lose her.
In the midst OF these thoughts she
was conscious Of some one leaning over
from behind and placing a newspaper
clipping in her lap. She took it up and
glanced over the contents with dreamy
mind. Then as she read she grew hor-
rified.
The clipping. a part graph from an
Omaha paper, was not long one. But
it was in regard to foot-bsll-to the
make up OF the university team for the
coming year. James. her son. had played
the game for two years but she never
could be reconciled to it. The clipping
spoke Of . new rule to be followed in
choosing members that spring for the
coming season. The rule-ehe scarcely
comprehended it for moment-was
"that every candidate to show his grit
was to drink gallon Of whiskey at one
sitting before he would be allowed to
play" Then the full significance of it
all came upon her. Oh. the shame. the
horror OF it! And she a member OF the
w. G. T. U. and teaching q Sunday
School class in this very church! How
could she ever hold up her head again.
And as she read further, her cheek
blanched with horror. The paragraph
went on to state that James, her great,
strong hearted boy, who had been al
ways 30 fortunate in playing had tried
for place again. and had died 10 the
drinking Of the liquor. The thought of
it crazed her. But though stunned by
the shock she arose, and regardless Of
sermon or audience, fled out the door
and on toward her he nae. His father
she must find his father-and they

ran into the house and through all the
rooms but he was not there. She fed
out and around the house. but she could
not find him or anyone to help her. She
felt as If she must drop to the ground
overcome by exhaustion and grief.
Suddenly something broke in on her
mieery and disturbed her. 1t was the
congregation standing up for the last
hymn. And mechanically she also arose.
The sun streamed through the stsined
windows a. before The choir filled the
church with song. And outside the
birds in the trees took up the refrain.

lage improvement society of Lincoln has
made considerable progress in two ways
and by far the most important and last
ing can not be seen by the casual pssser-
by. The grounds surrounding several
schools Of the city, notably the capital
and park have been sodded and planted
with flowers. But the second result
preserves and makes Of consequence the
first; the children have been taught that
the grounds are theirs and that they
are responsible for their neatness and
beau'y. They have learned the civic
responsibility OF each citizen to the
community OF which each one is a unit.
The children look upon a boy who
throws hand bills in The streets as law
breaker and disturber Of public order.
