For men only


natural mother in ten million de-
velopes and the world stands aghast.
A mother lives not for herself but for
her offspring. Her children are the
legacy of pain and the fruitage OF
suffering. She descends into the
shadowy realm of Death that they
may have life. For them she endureS
all things, suffers all things and the
while rejoices with exceeding great
Joy if such enduring and such suffer-
ing strews their pathway with flowers.
A mother will obliterate herself that
her children may gain prominence.
She will toll to exhaustion that they
may recreate in idle abandon. She
will clothe herself in rags that they
may be arrayed in purple and fine
linen. She will starve herself that
they may be filled to plethora. She
would, were it possible, enter to the
hottest depths of hell, with triumphant
tread, and its keenest tOrtures to her
would be superlatiye bliss if thereby
she could be assured her children
could forever sing songs with the
saints in glory. A mothers love is
higher than heavens Hottest mountain
peaks, deeper than the darkest
abysses of dispair, longer than the
ideas OF time and wider than the ocean
of eternity. A child deprived OF
mothers love is deprived of the
choicest, sweetest blessing God ever
vouchsafed to the children of men.

quarter corner, their husbands would
get divorce from every mothers
daughter of them.
"A drunken woman can't be any
sillier than a drunken man.
When man boasts that his wife
never insists on having the last word
it is not very shrewd guess to say
he married a mute.
Farmers wives are seldom
troubled with the ''servant grip pro-
blem.
When girl firmly decides to be
an old maid nothing will change her
mind except marriage proposal.
"A woman always prefers a groal-
ing husband to grovelling one.
"A dollar honestly earned is never
tainted.
If every father always trod the
paths of rectitude there would be
mighty few bad boys.
Matches may be made in heaven
but matchmaking mamma isn't
always an angel.
1t is no sign girl can't swim
because { ang man is holding her
up while she tries to float on the water.
The best way to Judge the char
acter of young lady is to get her
kid brothers estimate of her.
You can never tell Just how
looks until you see her in
loose wrapper, and her hair done up
in curl papers.
That freckled faced kid who when
his Sunday school teacher asked him
