To Hother.

Although have gone far away,
Although I've gone somewhat astray,
Forgot, neglected, made delay,
But never forgot thee, Mother.
When with bright hopes the heart beats high
When friend bids friend last goodbye.
Perchance tear may d. the eye
That tear will fall for tee, Mother!
When the world looks all serene
When it is all joyous dream,
And of its best we sup the cream,
Then. too. think of thee, Mother!
When misfortune. in its many forms,
Weights us down with briars and thorns
And subjects us to sneers and scorns-
would be close to thee, Mother!
When camped by natures rugged stream,
Where Indians prowl and night owls scream.
Wearied, fall asleep and dream
OF Scotland home and thee, Mother.

The Texas Girl.

Chivalry used to be described as q
southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men Of the north
are unchivalrous it Is quite possible
that in the south women are still re.
garded with a greater degree of formal
reverence than elsewhere. A native Of
Texas describes with enthusiasm the
women Of his state and shows why they
cannot fail to excite admiration. "They
are" he declares, sweet, polite, gra-
aious and courageous; they do moi curse
or swear; they do not use slang, and are
not drunkards. Most Of them ride well
On horseback and can use the six shooter,
but do not want to take away a mans
Job Of position" Could a more engage
ing picture be drawn? These lovely
compounds of sweetness and strength
know their power. but do not abuse it
They may resent injury In the most ef-
fective fashion, but they are not mean.
They will hesitate before shooting o
man who has a family dependent upon
him. They are no mere amazons. The
fact that they do not curse and swear
shows that they possess also the gentler
domestic virtues. Those who are in
search OF the ideal girl should purchase
a ticket fsr Texas. Providence Jour-

Edwin McIntyre, who lives a hermi,

Pilton r. Baker was shot, has a queer
hobby. One of the prettiest and best
pieces OF road in Maine passes in front
Of his retreat. 1t has been built by Mr..
Mcintyre, who for the last 23 years has
been picking up the rocks and stones
near his home and pounding them into
pebbles, which he has put in the high
way. In 23 years time he has pounded
SOC, 900 stones and made them ready for
road use. The town authorities, reoog-
MIXING the value Of the work, for years
have compensated the man by giving
him his road tax. He estimates that he
has placed on the road 90 cords of these
manufactured stones. Other towns might
