And il is reported by the Rotterdam

that AT the present rate Of shipment

were shipped from Rotterdam and
Hamburg for the benefit Of the natives
Of tropical West Africa, in the name OF
philanthropy and for the cause Of civ.

vile stun for goods which the natives

A Mothers Story
BY Itta Ellen Fellner

THE afternoon sun sinking TO rest
in the west cast for a moment its
brilliant and departing rays upon n
solitary farmhouse in the Berkshire
hills. then the bright glows faded away;
the sun disappeared behind the noun
tain, and il was soft, beautiful twi-
light. 1t was May, and the spring had

in absolute contentment. 1t was a
pleasure To breathe that delicious coun-
try air. II was a pleasure to live on this
glorious evening. even IL ones horizon
was narrowed to the limits of a farm
among the hills.
Two women come out of the farm
house and sit down upon the porch in
the twilight. They are mother and
daughter. The mother has an earnest,
thoughtful look in her face. which is
fair still. although her hair is snowy
white. The girl is beautiful truly, and
her mother is very fond and proud Of
her. The mother sits in large arm
chair and her daughter on the steps at
her feet. As the mother tenderly
strokes the abundant tresses upon her
fair young daughters head she qucs-
tons her very earnestly.
All around the farmhouse there is
peace and quiet, the silence broken
only by the mothers sweet, calm voice
as She addresses her daughter thus: so
