Children and I;espcct.

Don't let your children make slave

and daughters to reverence you in

their love and trust and friendship.
Nothing is more pitilul than TO see
the way some grown-up children treat
their mothers. mothers who have

that her rank was in nowise a point

distinction and difference. as the his
tory of the garment will show. The
original cost OF the robe was $40. 600,
one fourth of which sum was put into
the embroidery alone.
The robe is made with a train 81
feet long and so heavy with its ermine
lining and gold embroidery that. so
it is said. 10 pages at least would be re-

scattered lavishly over the entire gar

the long train are bordered with the

THE SALVATION ARMY LOAN.
Practical Plan to Provide for Poor of
Big Cities.

Big Cities.
The floating of an issue OF Sl50,000
thirty-year. per cent gold bonds by
he Salvation army. in furtherance OF
its Western colonization project, calls
public attention to what is without
doubt the most practical and the most
rational plan TO provide for the poor
OF the great cities that has been at
tempted in this country. Like every
philanthropical enterprise of this
character. the Salvation army coloni-
ration scheme has its business as
poets as we'll as its humanitarian side.
Projects of this character fall in their
humanitarian purpose unless they can
be successfully financed. The bonds
about to be issued are TO be secured
by a mortgage upon the colonization
lands of the Salvation army. which
now have an estimated value of $780,
600. That the investment in the bonds
is regarded as good one. not only
from financial point of view, but
from the standpoint of sane. practi-
cal and worthy scheme for lifting up

can be no question about the social

also indicated by the fact that there
are now on file applications from over
1000 families, now residing in large
cities. who are anxious to secure the
privilege Of settling on a model farm
in any of the three colonies that are to
be established. The project is far
reaching in its industrial, civil and hu-
