MOTHERS WAY OF RESTING.

I often marvel why 1t was I gave so little
thought
To all the helpful lessons which my pa
tient mother taught
NOW older grown, and she has gone,
often long to tell
Her how they all come back to me; each
one remembered well.
For in the work and cares of life that
come from day TO day
1 find l stop to ask myself What was
my mothers way?'
There never seemed to be with her a
drudgery of life; Nt hN
She got along so quietly with all its cares
and strife
She always sang about her work, and
mid perplexing things,
The farmhouse walls re-echoed, Rise, my
soul, and stretch thy wings"
i never hear old Amsterdam but that I
think how oft
1t bore my mothers soul from earth to
unseen things aloft.
When sitting in her rocking chair, her lap
with mending piled,
She used to say: II want to rest. now

1 learned by heart about ''the hills" and
lifting up my eyes"
Those pastures green" and waters still''
the Shepherds love supplies;
And all about abiding meath the shadow
of His wing"
For God our refuge Is, our strength" I
read in everything.
Sometimes I hurried through the psalm,
taking but little heed
And then her thanks. so kindly said, en-
couraged me to read
Some of the words that Jesus spoke, for
that was mothers way
To read from psalms and gospels both
upon the busiest day;
For at such times she needed a much
longer rest: and so,
While but child. learned her favorite
passages to know.
Those precious words of quiet come to my
soul, now |,
A busy woman, full Of work, my daily
duties ply.
I sing her hymns when fretted with my
ceaseless rounds of care;
i repeat the psalms and gospels when In
my sewing-chair.

am each day
That my mothers way Of resting was
such helpful way.

minced across the room to Janet with
a stately firt of her short petticoats

PAUL MoRToN'S VIEWS.
He Speaks of the Future Of the Railroad
Rnsiness in the United States.

In his recent able and instructive ad-
dress before the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce. Mr.. Paul Morton, second
vice president of the Atchlson, Iopeha
& Santa Fe Railroad Company, predict
ed that one of three things is likely TO
come to pass in the railroad business OF
this country, says Joseph Nimino, Jr''
in the Railway Age. First, that pool
ing by the railroads will be permitted
by act of congress; or, second, that uni
fication of ownership will come; or
third. that the government will take
over the railroads of the country and
operate them" There is another posi-
Bile result. which Mr.. Morton does not
mention. | refer to the possibility that
the railroads of the country, While SUD-
ject to corporate ownership and man
agement, may fall under the absolute
administrative control of the interstate
commerce commission.

At about lunch time last Tuesday
noon Contractors George G. Smith and
John Carpenter had close call from
being suffocated by smoke in the Good
Hope mine, says the Bland Herald.
About thirty sticks of dynamite had
become frozen, We're placed in an oven
to thaw out, and for some unaccount-
able reason the stuff ignited and
burned. In a very short time the tun-
nels and drifts were filled with smoke,
and the men did not notice that any
thing was wrong while working at the
breast of drift until the flame from
their candles was extinguished. They
at once started for the mouth of the
tunnel which was distance of several
hundred feet, and when they reached
that point they were nearly overcome
by the smoke. Had they remained in
the mine a few minutes longer they
could not have escaped so fortunately,
but as it is they are now rejoicing over
their good duck.

RUSSIA WILL STAY
IN MANCHURIA.
A Note to be Addressed to the
Powers to Affirm Its Po-
sition.
A PROTEST BY MERCHANTS.
They Are Opposed to the Proposition to
Pay the Chinese Indemnity by Raising
the Tariff on Goods Imported Into
China.

PelSin. April 5.-The members Oh tne
Russian legation here profess TO KNOW
nothing on the Manchurian question
The feeling of the other legations IS
that Russia is bound to do something
or lose prestige with the other powers.
RUSSIA WILL STAY IN MANCHu-
RIA.
Paris April 5.--It is understood mere
that in consequence of China's retusal
to sign the Manchurian agreement
Russia. is about to send a circular to the
powers. explaining that, owing to tHe
unsettled conditions in Manchuria, her
troops will continue to occupy that ter
rtory until order is established.
MERCHANTS PROTEST.
Shanghai, April 5.-The China asso-
citation has cabled to London protest
against the proposal to pay the Chinese
indemnity by an increase of tariff.
RUSSIA WILLING TO WAIT.
st. Petersburg, April 5.-The Russian
government concludes lengthy state
ment respecting the Manchurian agree
ment in these words: while the Rus
sian government maintains its present
organization in Manchuria, to preserve
order in the vicinity of the broad from
tiers of Russia, and remains faithful TO
its original and oft-repeated political
program, it will quietly await the fur-
ther course of events
RUSSIA BLAMES THE POWERS.
st. Petersburg. April 5.-Russia
blames the powers for China's refusal
to accept the conditions for the evac-
uation of Manchuria, and calmly says
she is in no hurry, and can await
events. The unbiased opinion here is
that Russia occupies an impregnable
diplomatic position, from which nobody
can dislodge her. AS far as can be seen
the Japanese threats have not caused
any excitement here.
ASSURANCES BY RUSSIA.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The United
States government has received a COM
munication from the government OF
Russia of unusual Importance on condi-
tions in China particularly those relat-
ing to Manchuria. Secretary Hay re-
CelVeQ the llolii SO'AA'
Cassini last night, and communicated
it to the president Although the terms
of the Russian communication are
withheld, it is known that Russia takes
occasion to give strong assurances OF
her dtsinterested purposes throughout
her dealings with China. AS to Man.
churia, it is stated that Russia's course
has never varied in the determination
to leave that province as an integral
part of China, and to retire the Russian
troops as rapidly as safety will permit.
Assurances Of definite and satisfac-
tory character are now given as to the
execution of these purposes. The belief
is held in official quarters that the as
surances of Russia are so sweeping a.
to completely to avert the threateneo
crisis in Manchuria.
