The following is too good to
be credited simply to al ex.
change. We woulG like to
shake the authors hand. A few
evenings ago we saw a young
man at the livery stable hiring
zig for drive. We jocularly
remarked, Going to be kind to
your sweetheart" and the
young fellow responded some
what bashfully, "Yes, Sir"
Later we saw him with his
mother in the buggy. They
were in front of a soda fountain.
The young man called to us
and when we had spoken to his
mother, remarked: This is the
sweetheart that l was go.
ing to take for a drive" and he
looked as proud as a king. The
mothers eyes suddenly became
moist and the editors heart was
too full of emotion for speech.
With a "God bless them both"
we turned away and left, the
mother proud of her boy lover
and the son as happy in the
love of his mother as ever he
will be in the paradise of God.
Such love can never die.
