Any boy Or girl enjoys being told {:
"You make the least work of any
roomer we ever had.\ You must have
had a good mother"
People judge fathers and mothers
by their children. In some cases
this is unjust but if unacquainted
with the parents it is the only way
the world can judge them.
A woman upon being introduced TO
q mother, said: 81 am very glad in
deed to meet you. know your SONS
and I have often wondered what the
mother of such boys could be like"
A Boston woman said to n who
had been in her family: "Tell your
mother if she ever comes east I
would be glad to have her come to
my home. I would like to become
acquainted with the mother of such

live right lives. From the time they

verse in Isaiah, 'And all thy children

We mothers sometimes think if
we were situated differently we
could do so much more for our chill
dren. IF we had a better house we
could make a more attractive home /;
if we had more money we could give
them a better education. Surely
none of us have less than Lincoln's
mother had. The house does not
make the home. If boys and girls
have good strong bodies-if we have
fed and cared for them properly
they can have agood education with
out much money. Many of the
teachers to-day are self-educated
men and women.
Most of us do not expect or desire
that our children should occupy
exalted positions, but we do hope
they will do honest faithful work
wherever God places them When
our ordinary boys and girls do their
everyday work work well we are and
we have a right to be thankful, joy

RESULT OF A BAD IMPRESSION.

Several years ago a father was
visiting his son at an Eastern col
lege. In the evening four students
dropped into the room where father
and son were staying, and n of the
boys confessed with some embarrass-
ment that he had "skipped"a reoita-
ton that morning.
81 wouldn't let a little thing like
that bother me-" exclaimeda certain
student, whom we will call John.
The father of Johns friend looked
at John sharply, and took a mental
estimate of his character on the
basis of that remark. The father
happened to be an official of a large
railway corporation. Some years
later, in the course of events, John
was a candidate for a desirable posi-
ton with that railway, and was in a
fair way to gain it. He had made a
good record after leaving college as
a young railway man, his recommen-
dation for the position in question
was high, and he seemed in every
way qualified. The decision rested
with the father of his friend.
That gentleman told his fellow
directors that that he could not con-
sistently give the young man the
place, as he had once heard him
make a remark indicating untrust-
worthiness. John failed to secure
the position, and all because of a re-
mark he had made in thoughtless-
ness.
It does not help the matter to cry
u~nfairness, injustice. He alone was
responsible for the impression he
had given.-Young Peoples Weekly.

THE MOTHERS RESPONSIBILITY.

Not long ago a woman who has no
children said to me: "My sister is
growing old. She has five daughters
and she waits on them all. They
never know where anything is. From
the oldest, who is past t~wenty-one,
to the youngest, who is ten, it is
Mamma, where is this? Where is
that?' Instead of having the daugh-
tiers do for her she does for them"
Children grow up and some of
them go out from the home either to
school or to work. Until they can
have a home of their own they must
live in a boarding house, or with a
family, unless they room in a hall
and take their meals at q club or
restaurant. They T much better
cared for if they are considerate and
thoughtful. Such small matters as
cleaning the shoes SO as not 60 carry
mud into the house, keeping books,

FOR A BOYS BUILDING AT THE ST. LOUIS
EXPOSITION.

The Sprague Publishing Company,
Detroit, Michigan, publishers of
''The American Boy" have filed a
formal request with the management
of the st. Louis Exposition that a
boys building be made one of the
features of the Worlds Exposition
for 1908. They are backing up this
request by every means possible, and
they ask for the support in this I'M
dertaking of the boys and their
friends. In general, the plan is to
have a building that shall accommo-
date exhibits of boy invention and
enterprise, and shall have an assem-
bly, hall in which there may bea boys
congress-, conventions of men and
women workers in behalf of boys,
and meetings of associations of anna
tours, State and National. The pro-
ject is a unique one and, if carried
through, will add greatly to the
popular interest in the Exposition.

NOBILITY.

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in dreaming
Of great things TO do by and by

And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kindly as kind

And nothing so royal as truth.

The car service on the Abercorn-Bsr-

At Duffy and Abercorn a wash out made
wet transfer necessary. At Bull and
Fortieth streets an extra transfer in the
rain was necessitated. Gers going out
Abercorn were held at Bull and Fortieth
until the arrival OF Barnard street cars
sometimes fifteen minutes; then passen-
gers were transferred. Just why this
was. since Barnard street has a double
track, no one seemed to explain. The
passengers couldn't understand. and. of
course, kicked. Some or the conductors
would transfer passengers at Fortieth
street to the Whitaker street line, while
Others would not. There seemed TO be
some misunderstanding about the trans
fer system between the Abercorn-Ba Barnard
belt and the Whitaker street lines.

Money Orders Cnshed Only at Offices
on which They're Drawn.
A difference in the Interpretation OF a
law, by the Attorney General of the Unit
ed States. from that previously adopted
by the Postoffice Department. has stop
ped the practice which permitted money
orders to be cashed at any money order
postofflce in the country. Hereafter. by
an order from the department, recently
issued. money orders may be cashed only
at the office upon which they are drawn
The former ruling as to the effect Of
the law and the practice based upon It
had been in effect since last July and
had been a source of great convenience
TO the public. With the ruling in opera
ton every postal money order was in ef-
fect certified check and every postofIice
a bank at which II could be cashed. II
will be regretted that the Interpretation
placed on the law by the Attorney Cen
eral has stopped the practice and its re-
sulting conveniences.

A Prominent Lawyer Says.

Mr. A. B. Girardeau, City-Dear Sir: I
take pleasure in recommending Johnson's
Chill and Fever Tonic. am thoroughly
convinced that it is a specific for the fe-
vers with which we are afflicted in this
country. An actual experience in my own
family shows how it works. One Of my
children had fever, and the physician
came to see her twenty-eight days While
she was sick my wife and another child
developed the fever. In these two last
cases my wife used Johnson's Chill and
Fever Tonic promptly and broke the fever
in twenty-four hours. We have never had
it fail to stop the fever when used accord
ing to directions. Yours very truly, w. B.
Stubbs.-ad.

BLACK-AND-T HOUSES.
A Number OF Them Raided by City
Detectives.


Business in police circles yesterday was
lively enough to make up for the stagna-
ton of the day before Nearly thirty
prisoners had been brought in, on va
rious charges, up to midnight. The most
interesting of these were captured an a
known as the BLACK and Tan Houses"
that is those resorts of the tenderloin dis
trfct that are occupied by both white
and colored women. and are also fire.
quented by white and negro men.
In the first house raided, in York street
lane. Matte Jones. the proprietress, and
a white woman, jamie Carter, were ar
rested, and also two negro men, Henry
Jones and Taylor Adams. When arrested
the Carter woman had with her a very
young baby. AT the second house, Matte
Lewis, colored and Freda Herman, white.
were arrested. 1t is the intention of the
police TO break up all such houses, and
IT is therefore probable that other raids
will be made latter. Only recently the
Recorder sent a woman to the gang for
thirty days for being an inmate of such
a place, and II is not improbable that
sentences of equal severity will be melted
out to those taken in last nights raids.
William Smith, alias Joe Simmons. col
ored, was arrested by Detective J. ].
Murphy on two charges of burglary.
Smith is alleged to have stolen a lot of
articles from the schooner Chauncey
Burke Tuesday night. and also later. to
have broken into a tool house at Barnard
and Thirty-fourth streets, and taken
from il a lot of tools. Most of the stolen
articles have been recovered

the others negroes. william Singleton,
colored. was arrested by Patrolman

charged with pointing a pistol at another

with minor offenses.
