Waiting for Her Boy.

A few years ago, in one of tho
growing cities of New York State,
there was home into which tho
great sorrow of fathers death had
entered. The sons, OF whom there
were several, were of a nervous tenn
permanent, full of animation and on
posed to many temptations which
ondanger tho youth in largo cities.
The widowed mother realized the
vast importance of her responsibility,
and many time did she look up
ward toward the Heavenly Father
for divine aid in the guidance of her
fatherless boys. SHE made it rule
mover to retire for rest at night until
all her SONS were at home. But az
tho boys grew older this became a
severe tax both on her time and
health, often Keeping the faithful
mother watching until the midnight
' hour.
One of her boys displayed talent
for music and became a skilful VIC
linist. lie driftcd among the wrong
class of people aud was soon at balls
and parties that seldom dispersed
until the early hours of day.
Upon one occasion it was nearly
seven o'clock in the morning before
he went to his home. Entering the
house and opening the door of the
sitting room, he saw sight that
never can be cfiaced from his men,
ory.
In the old rocking chair sat his
aged mother fast asleep, but evil
IDENTIFY she had been weeping. Her
frilled cap, as white az snow, covered
her gray ha. the knitting had
fallen from her hands, while the tai
low from the candle had run over
the candlestick and down her dress.
Going up to her, the young man
exclaimed "Why, mother! What
arc you doing here ?"
His voice startled her, and, upon
the question being repeated, she at
tempted to rise, and pitcously, but
o 80 tcndcrly looking up into his
face, said: : 81 am waiting for my
boy"
The sad looks and those words,
so expressive of that long nights
anxiety, quite overcome the lad, and,
throwing Ills arms around hcr, nc
said: "Dear mother, you shall never
wait again like this for me-"
That resolution has never been
broken. But since then that mother
has passed into the world beyond,
where she still watches and waits
but not in sorrow, for her boy

PROSPEROUS PERU.

Lima, Peru, via GALVESTON, Texas, july
2S.-The speech of President Pierola at
the opening of the Peruvian Congress to-
day was notable and at its conclusion he
was loudly applauded by Congressman
and the public in the gallery. The Presi-
dent, on leaving the chamber, held an
ovation.
In the course of the speech, President
Pierola said that the national life of PER-,
was calm and prosperous and that the
foreign relations of the government were
friendly with the solitary exception of an
issue raised between Peru and the United
States, dating from 1885. With respect
to this, he said, Peru had been compelled
to accept arbitration under somewhat
vexatious conditions in order to avoid
rupture. Negotiations were also bro.

serted, respecting a modification of
tariffs. Without discussing the future the
exports for 1897 showed an increase of 80
per cent over the previous year, exceed

FROM THE WHITE RIBBoNERs.
They Like the Adjutant Generals Opposi-
ton to the Canteen.

Adjutant General Richards has received
letter from Corresponding Secretary
Sarah L. Cram of Biddeford, of the Maine
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
in which she thanked him, on behalf Of
the union, for his action in regard to the
matter of establishing a canteen at Fort
Knox. The letter read as follows:
Biddeford, Me-, July rs. 1885,
General Richards:
Dear Sir: Mrs. Stevens, our president of
the Maine W. G. L. u, who is now in
chicago, wrote, July 6, asking me to
voice the deep interest and concern of our
organization in the matter of establishing
canteen5. Mrs. Stevens letter was missent
and 1 away, therefore this delay.
The women all over the State have been
asking, ''What can we do to make camp
life safer for our boys?
There are pathetic letters from mothers
who dread the influence of the Few sur
roundings and associations more than the
danger of battle.
We are glad to know that you did not
favor the establishing of canteen at
Fort Knox. You have the gratitude of all
the white ribbon women for your stand
in this important matter.
We notice that General Miles in his gen.
eral orders says: "The history of all other
armies has demonstrated that in hon
climate abstinence from the use of intoxi-
eating drink is essential to continued
health and efficiency. Commanding
officers OF all grades and officers of the
medical staff are enjoined to restrict or
to entirely prohibit, the sale of such bey-
erages, il the welfare of the troops or the
interest of the service, require such ac.
tion."
This is very encouraging, and we are
unfeignedly glad when a commanding
officer Of our state takes decided stand
in the matter of prohibiting canteons.
Yours very truly.

were appointed, and the commission met

Among the British points was that relat-

the Great Lakes, which has since become
an established practice. The peace treaty
was finally agreed to Dec. "a, 1914.
During the Mexican war, while hostili-
ties were still in progress, the chief Jerk
Of the State Department, Nicholas First,
was sent to Mexico to open negotiations
for peace. He was instructed to demand
fornia. These terms were rejected by
Mexico. Thereupon the United States
recalled Trist. This caused much agita-
tion in Mexico, as it was feared the
United States would adopt very aggres-
sive steps, Trist had not acted on the
recall, but had remained in Mexico. He
succeeded as a result of the changed
feeling, in making treaty of peace,
known as the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, on Feb. 4, 184S-
At the close of the civil war there were
no peace negotiations or treaty in the

neighbors was Mime. Britton, with whom
the famous Observation-Disclosures formed
fast friendship. Mime. Britton spent
the summer at Nice, where she met several
English noblemen, among whom was
LORD Cholmondeley. The latter, on
learning that she was friend of Frank
Inns, asked for note of introduction to
him saying he would call and drink tea
with him at Passy. The letter was given,
and Franklin and Lord Cholmondeley
were brought together on friendly terms
His lordship stated that he was an init
mate friend of Lord Shelburne, who had
just become the ruling figure of the Brit

Franklin write letter to Lord Shell
burne, which Lord Cholmondeley under.
took to deliver in person. Acting on the
suggestion, Franklin wrote brief letter
expressing the wish that a general
peace'' might be brought about. But he
was careful to avoid betraying any
anxiety or hope that the peace would i'm
mediately take place. FRANKLIN felt sure
of his ground, as political conditions in
the United States were much disturbed.
The letter was welcome to Lord Shell

The peace negotiations after the war
of 1912 were more formal in character.
Soon after the war began President Madi-
SOD took the first step toward restoring
pace, and in a message to Congress on
Nov. 4, 1912, he said: "Anxious to bridge
