The Uses of chaf.
(Spectator.)

On the whole, as we have said, school
chaff does good, though we do not recon-
mend it quite on the same principle as
that on which the stern old country squire
recommended, or rather insisted upon, a
cold bath every morning for his children.
If they can't stand IT, he said, they're
not fit to be my sons, and 1 won't have
them School chaff is wholesome in
most cases. but it may cramp what
should not be cramped. As to the chaff
which man gives and gets at a univer-
stty, however, we do not think there can
be two opinions 1t must do good, and it
has not the opportunity of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay themselves
open to receive it; the quiet man who
wishes to read or to think apart need
hardly ever come into contact with his
fellows unless he so chooses.

mMv Dearest of Mothersp,

MY dearest of mothers l heard
the words repeated in soft tones by my
next door neighbor at an inland farm
house where we were sojourning, MY
dearest of mothers" My friend was a
widow, and her son, an affeetionate,
talented fellow, was an engineer in
Idaho. In one of his late letters he
had said at the close: And now, my
dearest of mothers, goodbye" Did he
guess, l wonder, how the little petting
phrase would please the heart that
loved him so? Did he think that she
would say it over softly to herself as
she sat alone in her room?
The home days were over. The
babies, with their sweet ways, their joy
giving and their trouble making had
grown to noisy boys, then to self-as-
sorting men; they were out in the
world making their way; brains busy,
thoughts absorbed, hearts full; yet here
was one who remembered the mother
still in middle life, loving and needing
love the same as when her boys were
her very own in the dear child's home.
He wrote her long letters describing
his adventurous, changeable life; the
strange companions by whom he was
surrounded; the wondrous scenery of
the wild western world. 1t was all in.
tenSely enjoyed; put Detter tnan ali
were the love. phrases that showed the
sons affectionate heart. / wonder if
the boys know how dear they are to
their mothers, and low little atten-
ton, little gifts, tender words, flying
visits cheer and warm the hearts that
have borne the test of years and sor-
rows?
Life is a little chilly to the mothers
whose homes are things of the past.
Even if they remain in the old home,
the rooms seem very bare and silent
after the children are gone. 1t is as if
summer had flown, with its nests and
bird songs. and autumn winds were
blowing. Then the love of the sons
and daughters is like sunshine or warm
fires to the hearts that sadly miss
them. Let us hope there. are many
sons who write, MY dearest of moth

WHEN THE BOYS ASLEEP.

You wouldn't think to look at him a-layin
thar so meek,
With his chubby hands both folded un.
derneath his sun-burnt cheek;
You wouldn't think to see the peace his
sleepin' features take
Jest what holly terror he kin be when
he's awake!
bet if you could get a peep beneath
those lashes now
YOU find a spark o. mischief lurkin' in
his eyes somehow;
An those curved lips that's nodded like a
cherubs, soft and sweet,
They're yearnin' jest to give a whoop
that would lift you off your feet.
Look at his ragged little coat a-hangin'
on that chair
Thar amt thing belongs to him that
don't show signs of wear.
Jest see them rusty little shoes, with
both the toes stumped out;
They give sort o idea of the way he
gifts about!
Somehow it don't feel natural for the
house to be so still;
It's full of empty spaces that it takes his
voice to fill:
An | kinder miss the racket an the pat
ter of his feet,
An the litter that / growl about-things
look a heap too neat.
It's curious how little scamp like that
can take part
In all your thoughts an fancies till he
fills a feller's heart
With the rattle an the prattle that you
learn to love somehow,
Till you're lonesome when you miss it
Sh!-Great Scottl he's waking now.

TRY IT.

You can't stand for five minutes
without moving, if you are blindfolded.
You can't crush an egg when placed
iengthwise between your hands; that
is, if the egg is sound and has the or
binary shell of hens egg.
You can't get out of a chair without
bending your body forward or putting
your feet under it; that is, if you are
sitting squarely on the edge of it
You can't break a match if the
match is laid across the nail of the
middle finger of either hand and
pressed upon by the first and third fin
gers of that hand, despite its seeming
SO easy at first sight.-Health.

serious thought the youngster replied
that she did not ''kerzactly know"
Why explained her father, "a CEN
tpede with chilblains!"
That the humor sank deep into the
child's mind was amusingly evidenced
week later. Taken to the Natural
history museum. Dolly stood in awed
wonder before the ostrich exhibit while
her elder read aloud the description
appended.
Upon hearing that an ostrich pos
sessed six stomachs. quick as a flash
Dolly interrupted excitedly:
Now 1 can tell papa what's worse

GODS ARMY.

Gods army marches at the dawn,
While you, his idlers, slumber on,
Or, waking, sink to rest more sweet,
Lulled by the tramping of their feet.
His army numbers old and young;
And children march its ranks among
Whose fairy-tales are all unread,
And lullabies unsungi

Gods tireless army tills your fields
And then to you the harvest yields;
They rear your palaces, and raise
To lesser heroes shafts of praise.
The fragrant scent of your kerchief
throws
Distilled beneath the hands of those
Who never saw a lilac bloom,
Or plucked a growing rose.
Gods weary army builds your roads;
Gods patient horses drag your loads;
Gods children weave the lustrous, fair,
Embroidered texture that you wear.
All, hands that guide the brilliant
thread
The gay tints on their looms out
spread
Are all the colors woven in
Lives gray and dull as lead.
Gods throne beyond his azure wall
Is set; and still he watches all:
And when crisis sharp demands
A steady brain and heart and hands
He passes by his idlers dumb,
And always calls his heroes from
The weary toilers of the world!
And from the ranks they comet

LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

Ny Dear Aunt Busy: 1 have not
written to you for very long time.
see that you have another question for
us all to answer. 1 like my friends to
be "spunky" I think this is the very
best kind of character. I hope you will
agree with me Aunt Busy. Goodbye.
Your loving nephew,
PATRICK HOGAN.
Glad to hear from you, dear boy, but
yes, indeed, but-Aunt Busy has to
give you a little lecture. Now, you dear
fellow, do you really mean that you
like for your friends to be "spunky?"
Now, to old Aunt Busy this word
''spunky'' means having a most
wretched temper, temper that would
be TO person like a bunch of fire
crackers held in the hand, with one
cracker on fire, and the rest ready to
catch fire. Temper is an awful curse
in the life of any one. OF course, one
should always have spirit" but dear
boy, it is better 20 have too little spirit
than too much.
Take this little lecture, dear, in the
best spirit from one who knows the
world very well. indeed; from one who
has learned by sad and bitter expert
ence the folly of being 'spunky" Re-
member that the Great Master was
ever "meek and humble of heart"

A Successful Excursion.

of entertainment of the very successful
excursion to Dayton, Wednesday, as
we'll as the general membership of the
Christian church under whose auspices
it was conducted. wish to express
their gratitude for the wonderful pat
ronage and especially for the splendid
conduct of so large a crowd. We sp-
preciate the fact that not the slightest
misconduct of single soul has marred q
moments pleasure of any one on either
of our splendid excursions, and financial
ly this will help us to wipe out indebt-
edness which needed our immediate at
tention without leAving any cash on
hands.
To the REPUBLICAN, we express our
sincere thanks for its generous an
nOuncement.
