oh, what so true. 50 pure, so good,
AS love and pride OF mOtnerhoodY
The tender watching and the care
That have 10 likeness anywhere?
What men, most bold. would fear 10 do,
A mothers heart VIII carry through;
Love Is too strong 10 think on death,
A child is more than living breath.
A mothers love is fond and wise,
Her soul is in her babys eyes;
To her the laugh that shakes its throat
Is sweetor than the tlrostle's note.
Her life Is in the child she bears,
Nor withers with the waste Of years.
Though promise may in failure die,
IT'S love that makes her weep and sigh.
Her love indeed, outlives her days,
Her children treasure up her praise;,
And though no more they see her face,
Her name retains its native grace.

SENATOR PROCTOR.
Pen Sketch Of the Statesman at TIE Head oJ
the Marble Trust.

4 20 HftttfN ~ Htf NtNtfaNtNH 0t tt' Aff0N ~
the Marble Trust
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-W. Z. Cur
tbs in Chicago Record; While the sen.
ator from Virginia was talking SenR-
tor Proctor, wandered around in an
aimless way from the standpoint Of
he galleries, but his indifference was
all assumed. No one man on either
hemisphere has done more than Sena-
tor Proctor to bring on the war unless
1t be General Weyler and the unknown
individual who touched the button
at fred the mine In Havana harbor.
Mr. Proctor's statement regarding the
condition OF affairs in Cuba has had a
greater effect upon the pubic mind
than any utterance OF 9 president of
the United States or any sermon or
speech or book for years, although it
was entirely unsensatioDal and merely
plain, straightforward, homely. state
ment OF facts. The senator appreci.
ates this as much as any one and is
rather proud OF it, and he has taken a
very advanced position on the skir-
mish line with reference to Cuba.
Senator Proctor does not go to the
White house as much as he did for
merly. While he is not persona non
grRta exactly, he is now using his in.
fiuence against the presidents policy,
and therefore desires to avoid dis
cussion. Until he went TO Cuba Sena-
tor Proctor used to visit the White
house every morning, He was almost
always the first man on deck, and
asked more favors than any other SEN
ator. The president felt under obli-
cations TO him because of his work in
the early campaign. 1t was he who
turned the tide in New England for
McKinley's nomination against Reed
and captured the Vermont delegation.
Senator Proctor is a man of peculiar
characteristics; genuine Yankee,
shrewd, calculating, alert and, despite
his modest and unassuming manner,
always manages tn get front seat.
They call him famiharly the tomb
stone senator" because he k in the
marble business and has a contract for
furnishing headstones for soldiers's
cemeteries. He is also president of the
marble trust. When he entered the
cabinet of President Harrison he
assigned this contract to another frm,
but recovered IL when he left the war
department for the senate.
