fouclled For Her.

In a certain mountain town lived a
little boy Of four, who was very much
frightened at the thought Of a bear--in
Tact, 1t was the only animal or thing
he was afraid of-and his mother in
trying to keep him from running into
the street and playing in the irri-
eating bitches, and wandering away
to a little unkept park, told him lie
must not go, for there were bears
there. This frightened William and
the following day he sat on the door
step in very quiet and thought ul
mood. When asked by the village
clergyman, who was passing by, why
he did not go out and play, William
replied: II must not 20 out of the
gate, for there are bears in the roads
and down in the park. T" The minister
laughingy replied, "No, there's no
bears anywhere around,' but William
insisted that there were, as his ma
MI had told him that there we're.
The minister said, Lets go in and
ask mamma about it, and mamma
had to acknowledge that she had simply
told William that to keep him from
running away from home. When
alone with the little boy the mother
said, William, mamma is sorry that
she told you story about the bears,
and l guess we had better ask God to
forgive her, whcreupon William said i,
Mamma, you had better let me ak
God, for may be He wouldn't believe
you. "-Lippincotts Magazine.

Spartan Mothers or Japan.

All London is interested in the
wife Of the Japanese ambassador 10
Great Britain. She is the typical
Japanese mother-gentle, affection
ate, enduring and loyal, but, like all
other mothers in Japan, regardless Of
caste, she believes her life and the
life of every male child belongs to the
Government. The Viscountess Haya-
shi has one son. lie is not q soldier.
and has spent most Of his % years of
life in England, but if the call reach
ed him tomorrow he would abandon
all he has and all he expects to have
to respond to it. To the Ame rcan
wife and mother the devotion of the
women Of Japan to their country is
almost terrifying. Their prayers are
for male children, and the birth of
son is made the occasion Of great re-
joicipg, and on the ninth day after
the boy is born he solemnly is dedi-
Gated to the service of the Emperor.
A. mother who did not urge her son to
war in times Of war would be dis

"Girt on your sword" is her admoni-
ton, "and 50 forth to meet the enemy

A letter from Austin, Texas.
says that Mrs. Hetty Green's son Ed
ward is to engage in poultry raising
near Terrill, where he has bought
large ranch, in which he will place
10000 Leghorn fowls. He has already
bought 4,500 fowls from Norther IN

of competent force. Mr.. Green
figures that each hen will represent
enough money in the course of a year
by her eggs to pay all expenses at
tendant on keeping her, and net him
81 clear profit, which will make his
annual profit off the farm $4,000.
He has been assured he can get q
