so TIRED

A woman 81 years old took her own
life in Chicago recently, leaving to hel
sorrowing family this only explanation;
II am SO tired, SO tired-there is sc
much to do" She had finished hel
task before she sought death. Hel
home had been made clean and neat.
A heavy washing had been dried,
ironsd and laid out in neat orderly
piles. Then she had gone to the attic
Of the little home and with her own
tired hands bad welcomed death.
This is a sad lesson to the living who
may still have a tired mother in the
household, bearing the heavy burdens
uncomplainingly, and should be dear
to those whom she cares for so faith
fully. She should be given every help
possible, from the strongest sons and
daughters who are ~neglecting the
home duties that they might perform,
leaving them for the tired mother
to do. II am so tired, SO tired
there is so much to do" Too
many a good mother feels it az she
goes on and on bearing the burdens.
Too many well grown children forget
it as they seek pleasure and pastime
and constantly add to the burdens Of
the mother, which should be tighten
ed as the years go by.
The above appeared in a recent is
sue of the Chicago Drover's Journal.
We can but wonder If there are any
mothers in the homes this paper
visits, who are saying, II am so
tired, so tired" Young lady, cut
this out and paste it in front OF your
mirror, so you may see it many times
each day. II there is a tired mother
in the home each member Of the family
circle is knowing to the fact. Too
many of our young people fail in show
ing cOnsiderate attention, and too Of
ten do not fully appreciate the self
sacrificing love and benign presence of
mother. Like the air and the sunlight,
she and her tender ministries are re-
ceived and looked upon as a matter OF
fact. When she is at rest In the
home Of the soul this .th0ughtless
negligence will cost them many a
tear. The time will come when the

FEBRUARY %.

EACcpUlnk OUly ClTlSUIndS, no DlrUn'
day iSaS universally observed in Amer
lea as February %. Such men as
George Washington, like new stars,
appear only nee in a century. At d
time when we most needed a leader
Washington appeared like a pole-Star
in a clear sky to direct our statesmen.
His administration will ever hold a
high place in the political region.
Like the milky way, it will ever
whiten its portion of the political
hemisphere. They who are the last
to inhabit the globe will see through
the telescope Of history the virtues OF
George Washington, the Father OF
his Country" 1t is an old but true
saying that he "he was first in war,
first in peace and first in the hearts of
his countrymen." While his military
fame exciteS the wonder Of mankind.
it is his civil magiStracy that leaves
an example for the instruction Of man
kind. Great generals have arisen in
every age Of the world. In times Of
wal they rise by the force Of the
whirlwind, high enough to ride in it
and direct the storm. Like meteOrS
they shove off with a Splendor on the
black wal clouds. Heroes multiply in
every long wal and their ranks have
SO thickened that they are becoming
as undiStinguiShed as the brave men,
who fought under them. But not so
with George Washington. Men of all
parties, creedS and religion will W
revere his memory. His remains
we're deposited in Il family vault on
his own estate, on the banks of the
Potomac, where they still lie entomb-
ed. AS we have just celebrated the
birthday OF this greatest of great
men, it seems a fitting time for moth
erS to inStill into the lives and char
acterS Of their sons the noble traits
that endeared Washington to every
American.

1t is Of no consequence how good a
man is abroad il he is really mean at
home.
Don't teach your children that it is
a shame to wear worn and patched
clothes il you are not able to afford
better, but that it is no honor in
wearing new n that are not paid
for. A poet said, Remember, that
rags may cover a boy who will some
day be the great worlds joy"
Sympathy and encouragement are
the spurs to greater deeds. One
grain of sympathy can be compared
to a grain of mustard seed, but
one seed planted and replanted will
be enough to finally spread over the
field. A living seed once fell
from a flying birds beak into the Gre
vice of a rock. 1t grew and multiplied
until finally it burst the rock in
twain. This is a scientific fact, real
Be not selfish with your
words of encouragement and sympathy.
There is nothing SO Cheap" and yet
nothing car be more valuable.

He has for sixty years been farming

Once he was spry upon his feet. but

he was leading to water knocked him
down he found it hard to regain his
balance. The -dolstein retired a few
PAGES, scalped the turf, lowered his head
and was ready - charge the helpless
farmer 1t was in the middle OF a ten
acre lot and no human aid was nigh.
Just as the last snort had been given
by the king Of the meadow there was a
swift fash of dull gray and curled
horns. Something struck that bull right
in the middle of the forehead. backed
away. made a swift detour and came al
him again from tho rear. The Holstein
ran like a creature possessed Of ma3y
devils. He was pursued by what looked
like a moving blurr. Then his front
legs nearly collapsed under him.
Freelove got to his feet as quickly as
he could and gained the refuge of the
road. There he saw a frightened bull
believing and lodging about a yard In
advance of Dan1, a Dorset ram, which
had gained entrance through a break
in the fence and had gone to the rescue
OF his master. The bull finally sought
refuge at the top Of large heap o.
stones, up which the ram could not
charge. The Dorset was finally called
away from the scene OF hostiiities-
