course, has hers IN the cousins and
other kin whom she visits on her.
Thursday, n the shops, or the bank
to which her steps tend, either to de.
post her wages or: to purchase some
thing she longs for. Let the mother
plan little SO that her afternoon out
maysnot lack an object. If she reside
in a suburb there may be an excur-
sion to town or, if in town, she may
resort to the home of a suburban ac-
quaintance. The prime necessity is that
she shall go somewhere and not be
ashamed or afraid to go for her personal
gain and not for the good Of, her family.

There occur exigencies when a mother
requires much more than single week
~ afternoon. Not long ago was talk
ing with a mother who was arranging
for leave Of absence from her home
that should extend over half ear. She
was going with her husband on pro-
longed trip In which many weeks would
be spent on the ocean and many places
visited in two hemispheres. In order to
do this she would be obliged to leave a
family of little children at home, but
they would be under the care of grand
mother and an aunt and every item for
their comfort and safety was thought OF
in minuteness.
The rest will have to be left,'' said
the mother, t'tG the guardianship of {,
watchful Providence. shall mother
them far better when I come back to
them, rejuvenated, than I am mother
ing them now
This talk is plea for the mothers oc-
casional leave of absence. 1t is less a
plea for the mother than with her. She
herself is usually the main obstacle in
the way of her own vacations. She
plans holidays for others and takes none
herself. Mothers in general are much
too unselfish. 1t is their beautiful weak
ness to be strong for others and sanity
to the end of their days. Yet a weakness
it is, and those who honor and prize them
should do their best to cure them Of It
and make them thoughtful for their own
well-being.

A Close Call.

Grand Rapids-With his foot firmly
caught in a frog, in the Swan river
yards, Joseph Devine, a brakeman, saw
an engine bearing down upon him, yes
terday. .
I'm a goner, boys" he shouted to
his companions, as he made last des-
perate effort to wrench his foot loose.
The engine was shunting string Of
cars backward and the engineer did
not see the man on the track His last
violent struggle, however, tore the laces
from his shoe and he was enabled to
slip his foot out just as the first of the
cars struck the place where he had
been held as in a wise. Beyond a
sprained ankle he suffered no injury.
Railroad men say it was one of the
narrowest escapes ever seen here.
