Do Not Neglect the Mother.

Girls, do ySu pet yeur mothers or
do you cake for granted all the endear-
ing tenderness that Is bestowed upon
you, with never a thought of making
any return? Unless you are in the
habit of making much of that dear
woman whose child you are. it would
be well for you to begin at once, for
''mether" will not always be with you,
and in those lonely. heart hungry days
in the future you will wish that you
had been more demenstrative
Mothers never are too old to appre-
ciate the gentleness of kheir children;
they are never SO busy as to slight a
'caress. nor ever so taken up with the
cares and responsibilities of household
life that they will not enter fully snto
the joys, sorrows and plans of their
children. if only that loving confidence
is offered them.
Daughters budding into womanhood
do not be so engrossed in your own
bright visions that you cannot spare
time for mother. Her eyes will glad
den with happiness over any little at
tention; her heart will overflow at a
caress given and your own great re-
ward will come in the memory of the
fond glance and kindling eye when the
opportunity for aheetionate display on
your part has passed away forever.
There is nothing that can sting so
bitterly as the recollection of what we
might have been too some dear one.
Do not let this gnawing bitterness have
a chance to seize your soul. bat while
the dearest frIend you viii ever have is
with you. fill her life and your own with
present and future JOY by petting her
until even her mother heart feels con
tent. Philadelphia Times. 90

DELAWARE S1AD FISHING.
Arrangements Being Made For the Season
Which is Near at Hand.

Local fishermen are making prepara-
tions for the shad season which is Near
at hand. The men will start out about
the middle of March.
The greater number of the fisher
men have selected their fishing ground
for the season and anticipate good
catches. Some will go to Rays Ditch
below Smyrna and fish in the Delaware
Bay, while others will stay nearer
home. Films Point, n. j., is ano-
the popular fishing resort.
The rock fishermen at Blackbird
flats and Bombay Hook Bar are com
planning that they have been unable TO
hsh their shore nets on account of the
great quantity of ice in the river
which chills the water. The air is
also too cold for rock fishing. With a
warm spell of weather, following the
recent cold snap, however, they saw
rain will come, warm and freshen mn
the water, resulting in the fish hugging
the shore in search of food. This will
be the fisherman's opportunity.
While they say the shad season is
likely to be short, it is expected to he

GOOD GROWING OUT OF EVIL.
Some Good May Yet Come of the Smasher's
Crusade -Disgraceful Saloon Business.

IL ala not require a ''joint-smash-
lng" crusade. or any other displav Of
vicious folly, to demonstrate the fraud-
ulent character of prohibition which
does not prohibit, and which. in a
wide experience of half century, has
not prohibited in any one of the dozen
or more States wherein it has been
tested. All the world knew if as a
fraud years before the Nation woman
seized her hatchet and went ont
a-smashing. But the apathy with
which the great moral evil of boous
prohibition has come to be viewad
has been dispelled by the hatchet epi-
sode, and although "two wrongs do
not make right" it often happens
that one wrong is made the excuse for
another, the situation is favorable for
the accomplishment of substantial re-
form.
The disgraceful saloon business of
Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont disgraceful because boldly
defiant of law, might have gone on
and, if possible became more disgrace.
ful but for the wild antics of the smash
ers.
Now, however, there is an awaken
ing of public sentiment that promises
TO see the finish of the prohibition
fraud and the ills of which it is the
fruitful parent. The press of the coun-
try, with here and there an exception.
is demanding the abandonment of pro-
hlbition. Even the Outlook, the relig-
ious weekly founded by Henry Ward
Beecher, and now edited by Lyman
Abbott, says the net result of prohibi-
ton In Kansas appears to be lawless
liquor traffic, and lynch law exc
cuted by lawless women, instead of a
liquor traffic regulated by law which
can be and is enforced by law officers" "
And the outlook cheerfully looks for
, the early repeal of the prohibitorv
law and the substitution of some more
rational and practical system in its
place.
