A FATHERS TALK TO A
CARELESS DAUGHTER.
Eli Perkins

Eli Perkins
Il want to speak to you of your
mother. 1t may be that you have
noticed a careworn look upon her
face lately. Of course it has not
been brought there by any act of
yours, still it is your duty to chase
it away. 1 want you to get up in
the morning and get breakfast,
and when your mother comes and
expresses her surprise, 60 right to
her and kiss her in the mouth.
You can't imagine how, it will
BRIGHTEN her dear face.
Besides you owe her a kiss or
two. Away back when you we're
a little girl, she kissed you when
no one else was tempted to by
your fever-tainted breath and swo-
len face. You we're not as attrac-
tive then as you are now. And
through those years of childish
sunshine and shadows, she was al
ways ready to cure by the magic
of mothers kiss, the little dirty,
chubby hands, whenever they were
injured in those rough skirmishes
with the old world.
And the midnight kiss with
which she routed 80 many bad
dreams, as she leaned above your
restless pillow, have all been on
interest those long years. Of
course she is not SO pretty and
kissable as you are; but if you had
done your share of the work du-
ring the last ten years the con-
trast would not be 80 marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet, if you were sick,
that face would appear more beau
tiful than an angels. as it lowered
over you, watching every opportu-
nifty to minister to your comfort,
and every one of the wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets
of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face.
She will leave you some day.
These burdens, if not lifted from
her shoulders, will break her
down. Those rough, hard hands,
that have done so many things for
you, will be crossed upon her life
less breast. Those neglected lips,
that gave you your first baby kiss,
will be closed; and those sad, tired
eyes will have opened in eternity,
and then you will appreciate your
mother, but it will be too late. -
