MOTHERS RIGHTS.


We hear and read less about "wom-
ems rights than we did decade ago;
perhaps its champions have become
discouraged, and probably the rank
and file of women are not interested
in the subject or have devoted their
enthusiasm to the very much more
practical and beneficial mission-that
of championing the cause of the over
worked, patient, self-denying mother,
and arousing asentimentamong young
people of both sexes that will prevent
them from accepting the toll and self
sacrifice of their mothers to the ex-
tent they do. We hope SO, says Ameri-
can Queen We all have or have had
mothers, and as we look back over our
childhood and youth cannot most OF
us reproach ourselves with having
thoughtlessly accepted constant ser
vice and advantages at the expense OF
our mothers, and perhaps fathers,
too? How much comfort and pleasure
father and mother might have enjoyed
with the money that was spent trying
to make a musician out of an absolutely
unmusical girl or sending boy off on
long, expensive vacations every year.
Most young people think of their pa
rents chiefly as the source of material
supply and patient service. They don't
think that they can go without any
thing so that mother may have new
dress or vacation; and mother never
complains, but when she does achieve
a new gown doesn't she look we'll and
happy in it, and doesn't she enjoy 60
ing to an entertainment as well as
ever?
So, girls and boys. don't let mother
toll in the kitchen or the sewing room
day after day; get her out on some pre-.
text or another. Tell her you don't
want and won't have all those tucks
and frills on your gown unless she has
them on hers; tell her you simply must
be chaperoned to the concert; tell her
anything that will get her away from
the worries and toll of the house and
give her little fun. Share all your
joys just as far as they will let you
with father and mother, and above all,
don't ever think of them or refer to
them as "old." Keep-yonr parents
young as long as you can, and then
home and your world will be a bright
and happy place. ~ Is ss7 i

The body temperature of insects,

rest the temperature is near that of
the surrounding air, but that it rises

temperature endurance of insects
proves to be. about the same as that of
plants. The species tried were i'm

A new twilled cloth for winter cos
tunes resembles the weave of French
ivicuna, says the New York Post. -
An old fad which, seems likely to
come in favor again this season is the
application of fur on lace, both in tiny
bands, which are very effective, and
likewise in bits and patches outlining
or covering the form of one of the de-
signs in the lace. s
Crepe de chine grows constantly in
favor for evening wear. Liberty fab

A Filler in
the NOisy&
By PHILIP MANILA.

I'm APPLICABLE stood with long
ii face while the train from the
county seat pulled into Fullerville.
1t was the day of the opening of
the Posey county fair and Fullerville
was all excitement. A big crowd
stood on the depot platform to see
the silver cornet band from the coun-
ty seat disembark. Also to watch
the detraining of Hon. Joshua
Griggscom, who was to be the orator
of the day, and other notables who
were expected on the train.
Jim Applegate alone of all Fullerville
took no interest in the arrival either
of the silver cornet band or Hon
Joshua Griggscom. He only sat on a
cracker box in front of Bascom's
grocery store and chewed sullenly on
wisps of straw that he pulled now
and then from a bale that lay by him.
Neither did the prospect of the
grand parade to the fair grounds
which was to take place in two hours
awaken any responsive thrills in his

was giving him most uneasiness.
For in his minds eye Jim APPLICABLE
saw Sam Upper riding on bay
horse in the front of the procession.
Sam Upper, with a great red sash
around his waist, big blue badge,
with the words assistant marshal on

coat.
"She won't look at me all day
long," sighed Jim to himself. "She
won't see nobuddy but tibet gull

Jim Applegate sat and chewed the
straws and the end of his own bitter
reflection. Jim would have repeated

Fair" only Jim had never heard OF
Mr.. Gilbert or his songs. But he re-
allied that the spectacle of his rival
in sash and gold lettered badge
would result in making him pow
erful magnet that would draw to him
the smiles of all the girls, including
Sue Norton, the belle of Fullerville.
AN me in nothin' but my ole Sum
day cloes," sighed Jim. "An' him a
galavantin' around with Sue a-hang-
in on his arm. Wish I was dead"
Jim's attention was disturbed by
an earnest colloquy which was TAX
ing place in front of him between
the silver cornet band and the drum
major. They stood alone in front of
the grocery store, their red coats
and gold braid rejecting back the
bright rays Of the morning sun and
almost striking blind the admiring
eyes of the half hundred residents of
Fullerville, who stood at a proper
distance gazing in open-mouthed
wonder at the respondent beings be-
fore them.
Were strictly up against it," the
bandmaster said. "We contracted to
bring "a men, and Lubbock got sick
and couldn't come. and 1 know this
committee down here well enough
to feel sure that they'll roar like a
pack of Siberian bloodhounds for not
fulfilling our contract"
IF we could just pick up filler in
the noise somewhere" said the drum
major. anybody would do"
Say, mister" said Jim Applegate,
suddenly, what is filler in the
noisy?"
The leader turned to him. "Why."
he said, ''it's a man who puts on the
uniform and marches with the band.
but who can't play the instrument
he holds to his mouth. Just pretends
to, you know. He goes along to fiji
the number of the band up to the
number of men contracted for"
whats the matter with me?''
asked Jim. 81 play French horn
some. Not well, o. course, but peo-
pie here know that I've taken lessons
an they wouldn't be so all fired
s'prised to see me in the band"
you're the man." said the leader.
"Come on and get into your uniform,
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1902-12-27

and remember that all you've got to
do Is to hold the horn up to your
mouth and go through the motions,
but if you blow a single note I'll
shoot you dead on the spot"
Jim put on the gorgeous band suit
with much the same emotions that
inspired Cinderella when she attired
herself in the silks and satins that
her fairy godmother gave her for q
ball dress. He had good figure, and
the uniform fitted him well.
Down the street came the process
sion. 81
"That's him, that's him." shouted
a lot of voices as the assistant mar
shall rode proudly along with the
ends of his red sash flying CALAMITY
in the wind. 'Hello, Sam; howd'y.
SAM"
Sam bowed like field marshal Of
France, and then swelled up like .
turkey gobbler as the prettiest girl
in the crowd stepped out two or
three feet and tossed him rose,
which he caught and pinned above
his badge. Then he turned and
bowed low to the girl, and Sue Nor
ton felt that it was the proudest day
in her life.
The marshal passed on down the
street, and then all eyes were turned
on the next great center of interest,
the real sensation of the day, the
Silver Cornet band from the county
seat. They swung down the street
playing one of Sousa's marches.
Reminds me of tibet ole pome in
the fifth reader" remarked Jason
Lowing. "Thet one that tells about
the Syrriens came down like wolf
on Their fold and Their cohorts were
stremin' with silver and gold" 6o
The girls were waving their handker-
chiefs as the band passed. Sue Norton
alone was still looking down the street
towards the Haunting red sash of the
assistant marshal.
Suddenly she heard some one say:
"Why, it amt nobody else but Jim
Apologize. And he's playin' in the ST.
yer Cornet band. Yes, it's Jim, sure
enough" f
1t was moment of great excite
ment. People could not believe the evil
dence of their own eyes. Jim Apple
