WHERE MOTHERS FAIL.
Fall Short Of the Ideal Mother Be
cause They Lack Dignity.

TOO many mothers do not realize
that there are any problems in their
rela tionship with their grown dauGn-
ters," says Temple Bailey, in the 'Wo'
mans Home Companion THE train
ing of little children is discussed as an
all-important topic. Why should not
the delicate questions which must arise
in every household where two or more
women of strong personality live in
constant and close contact receive just
as careful consideration? 1t is after the
school days that the troubles begin
The mother who has chung to her little
girl fails to recognize the needs of the
growing woman, and is hurt by any
independent action on the part OF the
daughter; while the daughter, in her
eagerness to grasp at the best IN the
new life, forgets the difference winch
is due to the mother. Out of these con-
ditions small clashings ensue, to END
too often in complete discord. 1t Is
Just at this time that the mother must
bring her love and diplomacy to Dear
She must endeavor to know her daugh-
ter's nature, and to understand its pos
sibilities and limitations. She will hnd
that her problems are not the problems
of her mother nor of her grandmother,
for the girl of to-day is not like the
girl of yesterday, and she must be
studied from a different standpoint
The most unpleasant of all things
American is the dominant daughter
Brilliant, restless and disconnected, she
demands all things as her right rather
than as a privilege. The time-honored
tale of the mother at the waSh-tuD
and the daughter at the piano is verl-
fed in the mental attitude of many
households. There are two things that
the mother of such daughter should
cultivate quiet dignity which Shall
force the girls respect, and sympa-
thy which shall win her heart. She
must be interested in that which inter-
ests the younger mind. And she must
not be dominated. Her self assertion
need not and should not be radical, but
she must be queen of her own house
hold, yielding her scepter to none, and
especially not to her inexperienced
daughter"

The Wedding In squawville.


We'd weddin' up at Squawville, an I
want to tell you, son,
That it antied up a lot of unadulterated
fun,
Fur the racket was new one to the jes-
tice, an he swore
He had never corrugated of two lovin'
hearts afore.
He could make wise analysis of any
pint of law,
He could stand the loud bombardment of
Denver lawyers jaw,
He confessed his lack of savoy fur to ell
gineer the play.
Twas a husky pair from Jack Creek,
Broncho Billy was the man,
An the gal was OF Zeke Duncan's purity
daughter Mary Ann
An they come to camp attended by a
lot o. country folk
Fur to see 'em off a-wearin' of the double
hymen yoke.
Fur about an hour the jestice circulated
round to see
What the right an proper modus 'oper-
andy ort to be;
But US fellers wasn't posted in that tender
line of sport
So he said he would conduct it as COM
mon case In court.
Give the Constable a warrant, an he
yanked 'em up to taw
To be dealt with in accordance with the
statutory law,
An the court was called to order, an the
prisoners arraigned,
An the cause O. their detention was Off
cally explained
Both the parties pleaded guilty of a mu-
tual intent
Fur to buck the, world together, an as
proper punishment
Uncle Billy passed the sentence aeon
dennin' them fur life
To the bonds of matermony, with it's in
cidental strife.
Then the jestice TUX occasion fur to say
the little game
Mightnt be in strict accordance with the
law, but jest the same
1t d hold EN- fur the present, an it they
should ever feel
That he hadn't done 'em jestice, he would
grant EN- an appeal.
Then he stated that the statutes granted
him the privilege
Fur to kiss the fair defendant, an II she
would please obleege
By workin' up a quicker of her lips he'd
make the play
In a dignified, judicial, an he hoped a
pleasin' way.
With a smile he thought seraphic he re-
moved his half-chewed quid,
An toward the blushin' female in gal
liant manner slid
With his eager lips in quicker, but instead
They received visitati ton from the bride
groom's burly fist.
The conclusion neatly floored him, an he
settled down beneath
The judicial OF pine table. spittin' out his
shattered teeth
(Which the same was artifciaD an he
laid too dead to skin
Till a drink O. barbwire Kicker brought
him back to airth ag'in.
Sich contempt o. court perceedin's made

An he swore he would divorce 'em as per

That life sentence was suspended that

An he'd cut the Cord an cable with the

Fur the groom as per instructions, an

An in less than half second they had

A THOUSAND YEARS AGO.


In the course of an expert account OF
1.-The Churches of Auvergne' IN the
August Century" Mrs. Schuyler van
Rensselaer, revives one of the most
famous scenes in French history-tne
preaching of the first crusade by Peter
the Hermit at the Council of Clermont-
Thanks to its holy patroness and her
miraculous statue, the little cnurch OF
Notre Dame du Port. and not the CATH
edral which SO far outranked 1t in sta
ton, size and title, was the heaftn-
stone of the religious and civic life Oh
Clermont 1t was one of the cnlef
stronsholds of mariolatry in France.
Annually thousands of pilgrims sought
the loW-browed, semi-circular and COL
umned crypt where the ancient statue
stood: and when, in days of peculiar
neriI. it was carried through the streets,
fhe hands that were to touch 1t, and
the priests and laymen who were to
form it's escort, were first solemnly
blessed in the cathedral church.
Many interesting and significant
events were witnessed by the church of
Notre Dame du Port; but one of them
so overshadows the rest that we are
apt to forget them all in its favor.
the year 1905, when the present church
of Notre Dame du Port was fresh and
fair from the hands of it's builders rich
with carving and gorgeous with color,
a great ecclesiastical council assembled.
Thirteen Archbishops were gathered to-
gether, 205 Cardinals. Bishops and Alb

many foreign lands. and such compa-

"Will you be kind enough to take
that sack off the seat?" said a gentle
man who got into a train.
mo, sir, l don't propose to do any
thing of the sort" replied the traveller,
who was sitting on the other side of
the seat.
do you say that you are going to let
that sack stay there?''
Yes, sir, / do

guard.

Cofeyville's Hero.

The people of Coffeyville will erect a
monument to Captain D. s. Elliott. who
was killed in the battle of Manila. Cap,
tain Elliott ran a newspaper in Coffey-
vile, and was a good man then. as he
was the day he died. Yet the people
of the town execrated him, and when
ever a prominent citizen of the town
spoke of Elliott he shifted, and when
Elliott asked for support the man who
put a So advertisement in his paper
wanted to control the papers policy
Instead of rallying to Elliott's support
to make good paper. the Coffeyville
people took their job work to Job offices
and the very lawyers who jewed Elliott
down to 80 per cent. of legal rates on
every little Sheriff sale notice will swell
up with windy oratory at the dedica-
ton of the monument. Coffeyville
starved Elliott to death, and the words
on his monument should read:
