Mother put on her Sunday best.

And white-straw bonnet neatly tied
With strings Of faded brown;
We woke before the ROSTERS crowed
And started in the dew

Was captain Of the crew.

To want a college course:
l parted with the pasture lot
And sold the sorrel horse.
We sent him every dollar saved,
And made seedy pair
In garments that had long outlived
Their days of useful wear.
The surging throng closed up in front,
We could not see our son,
But soon mighty cheer went up
And told us Jim had won.
The crowd took up the college yell
And sent it to the skies,
And college colorS everywhere
Shook out their brilliant dyes.
He stepped ashore looked up and saw
His mothers wrinkled face.
And hurried to her through the ranks
OF broadcloth. silk and lace.
He never gave single glance
Toward the pretty girls.
But kissed her on the withered lips,
And kissed her silver curls.
His sunburnt face was glorified
With proud and happy smiles:
He did not mind because her hat
Was years behind the styles,
But led her out before his friends
A figure quaint and prim
In stiff. old-fashioned lilac silk

extremes are when he is called on to Off

the funeral comes his mission is one Of
mitigation of sorrow and of inspiration
for grieving ones. At the other extreme
is the wedding, when his participation

He was officiating at a funeral when
message came to him at the stricken
home from his wife to hurry home; "A
couple were waiting there for him to

and he figured out plenty Of time be-
tween the solemn words closing the rites
at the funeral and those to take place
at the grave to hurry to his home. per-
form the ceremony and catch street

married the couple after the bride had
delayed him in the effort to adjust her
bangs for the important event, and
rushed for the street car. 1t wasn't

barn and every team was out. At that
moment he would have foregone the fee
he had just earned for horse. He per-
spiringly told his plight to young man
who was driving by in buggy, and the
young fellow took him flying to the GEM
