THE GOOD MOTHER" OFTEN BAD.

The so-called "gOod mother" is
too frequently really a bad one. She
makes of her children monsters of
selfshness, and never ends her vol
untary slavery to them. So far as
she is concerned, as a mother finds
her chief joy in being ''tromped on"
by her boys and girls, no one need
complain but the trouble is it ruins
the children. They grow up into
selfish, i'll bred, d~ictatorial men and
women, without self-control, disci-
pline of mind or body, and utterly
ignorant of that flower of courtesy
Which each human being should
wear forever, fresh and fadeless,
making the wearisome places of hu-
man life endurable by its charm.
The most beautiful girlin the world,
if she thinks of herself alone, and
shows it by bad manners, a appeal
only to few.-Ada G. Sweet, in Wo-
mans Home Companion.

AUNT N LETTER.

I hope that all of my girls read
the leading article On u page of
last weeks Progressive Farmer,
"What Constitutes a Lady," It was
a splendid talk on a subject of inter
est to every worthy girl. If you have
not yet read it, do not longer delay
doing so. Your brother ought to
read the extracts from Mr.. Wallace's
Letters to the Farm Boy" in the
issue Of November 18th. I am glad
that Careless Tom gave it such close
attention and that he has given US
his opinions regarding some Of the
subjects Mr.. Wallace discussed. You
may not be able to attend the cOun-
try's finest institutions of learning,
you may not be able to dress in the
height of style, you may never
have what are known as the luxuries
of life, but whatever your station
and whatever your means, tits within
your power to be the true lady out
lined by Mrs. Farley, or the good
man who is, as DR.. Wallace says,
1.-The golden harvest, the ripened
fruitage, Of creation"
Mrs. Ringgold is also with US this
week and 1 am sure you will enjoy
her letter. AUNT JENNIE.

n CHANGING SEASONS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE This is such
>. lovely day. The landscape is
nainted in such enchanting colors
bv the lavish hand of Nature, and
the temptation to spend a while in
the woods has so won me that ind
myself seated upon a large pine log
in the forest, with pencil and tablet
in hand, and surrounded by the most
pleasant scenery. (What mind but
that of an Advise Being could con-
ceive. and what hand ave that of
Omnipotence could paint, such a pic
ture as the autumn woods presently
AS I write the gentle west-wind
rushing softly among the boughs,
makes the crimson and scarlet leaves
tremble as if in fear of falling, while
the golden foliage of the poplar,
sweet gum, and hickory seem to
cling more firmly to the mother twig,
as if realizing that their term of life
is becoming exceeding short. But
the whispering zephyrs pass and
leave them still waving their ban
ners alOft.
All, proud little leaves! You may
we'll revel in your gorgeous beauty,
for it will be only a few short days
at most, ere the boisterOus north
wind will come down from his place
among the glaciers of the north.
With a mighty blast of his war
trumphet, rallying all his forces OF
frost and snow, he will make a Wig
orous charge upon the struggling col
umns of summer and autumn, put
ting them completely to rout, and
setting up the rule Of his king, the
Winter.
Before the march of the north
wind all those trees which are now
proudly Haunting their brilliant
robes, will, with a bow Of submis-
sion, surrender their cherished leaves
to be hurled headlong to earth, there
to lie sere, crushed and forgotten
among the myriads of generations
that have gone before them. Then,
with gray, bare limbs, and head
erect, they will bravely endure the
rigorous reign of winter.
But the stately pine, which is con-
tent to wear his simple suit of green
the whole year round, will continue
to his emerald boughs far
above all other trees, bidding defiance
to winter with his chilling, blighting
forces, and proclaining his rights as
monarch of the forest.
Truly, the changing seasons
should be to poor, frail humanity a
solemn reminder of the shortness
and uncertainty of life. And bear
ing in mind thewords of the inspired
writer that ssthe time is short" we
should seek to improve every moment
Of time and seize every moment of
doing good. JENNA RINGGOLD.

ROOSEVELT ON r. E. LEE.

Il wish to call the attention of the
Veterans readers to one of the
noblest tributes to Lee and his armv
which I ever read. It occurs in the
Life of Thomas II. Benton pages
81; 80, by Theodore Roosevelt, in the
American Statesmen Series. The
author is speaking of the influences
which formed Benton's character.
among them the militant spirit of his
native South and he is then led to
mention that influence in making
the Southern ARMY and its great
commander. He says: No mar
who is not willing to bear arms and
to fight for his rights can give a good
reasOn why he should be entitled to
the privileges of living in d free com
munity. The decline of the militant
spirit in the Northeast during the
first half of this century was much
to be regretted. To it is due more
than to any other cause the IN
doubted average individual inferior
ity Of the Northern compared with
the Southern troOps-at any rate, at
the beginning of the great war Of the
Rebellion. The SouthernerS, by their
whole mode of living, their habits,
and their love of outdoor sports,
kept up their warlike spirit, while in
the North the sO-called upper classes
developed along the lines Of a
wealthy and timidly bourgeois
type, measuring everything by a
mercantile standard Ga peculiarly de-
basing one, if taken purely by itself,
and submitting to be ruled in local
affairs by low, foreign mobs, and IN
national matters by their arrogant
Southern kinsmen. The militant
spirit of these last certainly stood
them in good stead in the civil war
The world has never seen better sol
diers than those who followed Lee,
and their leader will undoubtedly
rank, without any exception, as the
very greatest of all the captains that
the English-speakipg peoples have
brought forth and this although
the last and chief of his antagonists
may himself claim to stand as the
full equal of Marlborough or Yelling
ton. REV. J. Fl. McNeily, in the
Confederate Veteran.

Mrs. Henry had given birth to a baby
on Saturday night, but that the child
died a few hours afterward, being

that her baby just threw back Its
head and died" when he left the child

Party sentiment Plainly shown.

There is no doubt that many Repub-
licans in Delaware would rejoice over
the adoption of any plan of party
harmony that would involve no sacri-
fee of honest principle and that would
not surrender the party absolutely to
the domination of those influences that
have proved SO degrading and disgrace
full for the past three campaigns.
But the plan Of harmony proposed
by the Union Republican State Central
Committee does not promise to secure
this desired result. On the contrary,
it is designed to commit the entire
Republican organization Of the State
to these degrading influences, and con-
sign its control absolutely to those
whose manipulations have brought
these conditions about.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
honest Republicans and honest Repub-
lican newspapers are repudiating these
Union Republican propositions with
the utmost yigor, and without waiting
for them to come before their regularly
constituted party tribunal. Their open,
outspoken attitude, however, is con.
vincing expression OF honest Republi.
can sentiment. 1t clearly shows what
the honest Republican voters of the
State think about the Union Republi
can scheme of harmony. 1t is not q
scheme of harmony; it is scheme o.
party slavery, and slavery of the mos
ignominious kind.
When the Regular Republican Statt
Central Committee comes together fo
the purpose of formally passing upor
these harmony propositions, its mem
bers will not lack convincing ex
preston of honest party sentiment fo
| their guidance.
