A CERTAIN YOUNG WIDOW

She is modest. but not bashful,
Free and easy. but not bold
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young, yet not too old.
Half inviting. half repulsive.
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all its arts,
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When TO sigh and when to smile,
Oh, A maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while!
Are YOU sad? How very serious
VIII her handsome face become!
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless. fearful. dumb,
Are YOU mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding. will ring out,
She can lure and catch. and play you
As an angler does trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty.
Who have grown so sage and wise,
Young trihuvians of twenty.
With the lovelight in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But | know a youthful widow,
Who could win and fool you all!

Show him YOU appreciate
What he does: and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
LAYS him low.

To do honor to his name
And to place the wreath of fame

For the things you have to say
Nav assist him on his way;

Life is hard enough. at best:
But the love that is expressed
Makes 1t seem a pathway blest
To our feet:
And the troubles that we share
Seem the easier to bear
Smile upon your neighbours care.
As YOU greet.
Rough and stony are our ways:
Dark and dreary are our days;
But another's love and praise
Make them sweet
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has fed,
If it know.

Our poor praise; where it has gone
Loves eternal. golden dawn

But unto our brother here
That poor praise is very dear,
If you've any word of cheer

When the daughter of the house re-
turns from the academy she is some
times inclined to forget that there are
serious duties awaiting her 1t is then
that the wise mother brings her to a
different point of view.
The girl had been very clever in her
studies and had been at home only a
few days. when she said to her mother:

One Duty of Parents. Urgent. Too

An English bishop has just, been
giving some sound advice to the par
ents under his Jurisdiction. He realizes
that moral poison can be absorbed in
reading vile books and periodicals. He
reminds his people that writer's of
books and editors of papers often un-
scrupulously pander to depraved tastes.
and thus. whilst they are the cause of
much sinful pleasure to their readers.
teach the young in particular that lust
full excitement is no harm. Parents
have most serious duty not to allow
books and newspapers indiscriminately
in the house, and trades people are
bound not to sell what is really bad.
We would suggest, says the bishop.
that when daily newspapers have the
honesty and courage to resist the temp
tation to insert reports of sensational
trials which reveal immortality, people
who are eager for the purity of the
press should not only read, but recon-
mend those journals to their friends.
The warning of this jealous bishop
should be needed by young and old.
It is moral suicide to fill the mind with
knowledge which cannot be forgotten,
and can be fruitful only in evils.

Much of the unhappiness, not to say
misery, of life is due directly or indi-
rectly to the cooking, and in probably
nine cases in ten poor cooking is due
to the fact that the mistress of the
household is grossly ignorant of the
culinary art. Not knowing how the
kitchen should be conducted. or how
any dish should be prepared, she is at
the mercy of the cooks carelessness,
slovenliness or dishonesty. Young
women should learn the art of cook
ing a good meal 1t is an accomplish
ment as well as protection.

The Wearing of Wells.

There is an inclination to give these
up on very dressy occasions. You
hardly ever see them at luncheon par
ties, and with big hats they are hardly
the thing, but of course a great deal
depends on the way the hair is dressed.
As long as we had tousled fringes a
veil was necessity; now the arrange
ment of the hair is more severe in
front. thereby giving a loophole to es-
cape. The low chignon is often twisted
round with soft ribbons even in the
daytime, and catarogns are certainly
coming in again.

Double DUTY.

Parents may sometimes be tyrants,
children sometimes rebel, but home
life would never be failure if Thack-
eray's doctrine of the double duty
were, recognized: Honor thy father
and mother and honor thy son and
daughter" AS the same kindly philos-
apher, so often miscaIled cynic said ::
1t is only in later days, perhaps, when
the treasures of love are spent and the
kind hand cold which ministered them,
that we remember how tender it was
how soft to soothe how eager to shield.
how ready to support and caress."

Hints For Mothers.

Children should be taught to sing
simple and sweet songs about the
house.
A baby should never be frightened
by stories told by an ignorant and
thoughtless nurse.
A child will be naturally polite and
thoughtful if the mother is also care
full about her please and thank
YOU"
A child may be made gentle or rough
according to the manners and actions
of those about him, for his greatest de-
sire is to initiate

pleasure of any kind might not break

trust ssssts for penalties, 70 the exclu-
sion og the attorney general, was af-
eusd In the district court here Men-
day. The motion wax made ~ District
Attorney Warren Moore, who con-
tended that he Is given authority an
der the law to represent the state TO
the exclusion Of the attorney general
In the cases now pending in the dis
trict court here against the Master
Plumbers association and the com
press companies, which we're insti-
tuted by Attorney General Bell. MIR.
Moore based his contention on the de-
cision in the case of State of Texas
VS.. Moore, 57S Texas, in whica the
court held that the district attorney
was entitled 10 represent the state
when suit was brought against tax col
lectors.
The attorney general opposed the mo-
ton In behalf OF the state. He took
the position in his argument that the
attorney general Is entitled TO repre-
sent the state In such cases to the
exclusion of the district attorney.
The law provides that quits brought
to forfeit charters shall be prosecuted
exclusively by the attorney general,
but the district attorney insists that
inasmuch as the suits against the
compress companies are for penalties
In addition TO forfeiture OF charter.
they should be given charge Of the
prosecution and be entitled to the law
full fee of 25 per cent OF all penalties
collected.
Judge Morris has the matter under
advisement.
