That is pathetic story recorded
of the boy whom Judge Lindsey, of
Denver, sought to induce to attend
school regularly. The boy seemed
proof against every attempt until
one day he went into the judges
office with a receipted bill in his
hand. The bill explained the reason
for the boys apparent stubborness.
1t was a receipt for fifty dollars. the
cost of a monument which the boy
lad erected over the grave of his
mOthOr as a token Of affection for
her. The boy was then ready to at
tend school. We mention this not
as an excuse for boys to absent
themselves from school, but as a
beautiful instance of gratitude, af-
lection and reverence. There is
every hope for boy that thus
treasurers the memory Of his
another. Incidentally it points in
the way of contrast to one great de-
feet IN our American l1fe-that of
sufficient reverence for parents.

Michael Sullivan was the first mate
OF the lake freighter Mansfield. At
least, he had been up to few hours
ago. At present he was tout of a job. ="
A prouder, a happier, and it may be
added better mate never took cap
tain's orders than Michael Sullivan
that morning. He had shortly before
become engaged to the captain 5
daughter. The captain had uncere-
moniously cast him adrift in both
cases.
The catastrophe to the Mansfield
had happened on this wise: The Mas
sassoit ore-docks at Greysolon con-
sisted of three long and narrow slips.
Loading steamers are sometimes re-
quired to change from one slip to an
other.
That duty in the absence OF the
captain devolved upon the mate.
Coming up the channel, endeavor-
ing to make the slip beyond that in
which the Mansfield lay, was a large
freighter. The Nottingham, disre-
garding the three warning whistles,
came swiftly on. A collision appeared
inevitable. Unless the way Of the
Mansfield were checked, she would be
run down hard. Quick as flash Sui

Would Pension Mothers.

Pensions for mothers are adyocat-
ed by a prominent society woman,
who has seized upon the idea OF az
English writer She argues especial
" in behalf of the wives of workmen
the kind of woman who. on a wage
Of sometimes less than eight dollars
a week, has reared a large family.
without the mother, where would
the nation be?" she asks. Yet what
is the nation doing for the mothers
Of America? Surely these women
above all others should be able to
look forward to a period of rest after
Sighting the battle of life. With a
state pension how much lighter would
be the burdens of the workingman's
wife! What an influence for good
would she be in her old age to the
rising generation, instead of being
as at present a drag on the energies
OF her offspring-young people who
ought to be able to give all their time
and devotion to their own families"

WATCH THE LARGE AFFAIRS.
Business Man Makes Mistake in De-
ing Smothered in Detail.

When you are so buried in the de-
Gail of your business that you cannot
get clear, sharp view of your affairs
in all their relations, you are in dan
ger of failure. No great general ever
TsKes gun and goes with his soldiers
into the thick Of the fight, where he
would be go stunned by the noises,
and SO blinded by the smoke of bat
tie that he could not watch the move
ments OF the enemy, could not see
where his own troops needed rein
fOrcements, or how to hurl his forces
on the weakest place in the enemy's
ranks. He must go where he can
watch every movement of the armies.
III you are going TO be a general in
business, you must keep where you
can get a clear view of your affairs
and know what is going on every
where. While you are buried in de-
tail, your business may be in a dan
gerOus position, from which you could
extricate il if you knew the exact SIT
'VatiOn. Many a man fails in trying to
be a general and a private at the
same ED0A-Success.

WESTWOOD

Standard and registered Bay stallion
Is hands high weighs 1850 lbs. Sired
by Cedarwood 2:2415; 1st dam by
Mambrino SwIgert 2:3O; End dam by
Dick West, Westwood ranks among
the best sires that has even been in
Grant county. His colts have plenty
of size and are good individuals, they
are very toppy and good actors and of
a good disposition; they have also
proven themselves to be good sellers
and have size enough to make good
farm or carriage horses. People that
patroniZed him when he was here be-
fore have been very anxious to have
him returned to this locality and for
that reason we purchased this horse at
great expense to give the public a
chance once more to use the horse,
which they had the misfortune to
lose the use of for few years. But
now he is back here to stay. We
th1nK we deserve a liberal patronage
to this grand son of Cedarwood. Call
and see him before going elsewhere.
He will make the season as follows:
North Andover. Mondays.
Albert Sprague's, BeetOwn, Tuesday
and Wednesdays.
Dyers' Livery, Lancaster, Friday
and Saturdays.
$1,000 to insure live colt. We viii

livan's hand sought the automatic sig
nal from the bridge forward to the
engine room aft. He heaved a sigh of
relief when the answering bell came
from the engine room indicating that
the signal had been understood.
In establishment he discovered that
the way OF the Mansfield was not
checked. She was going faster than
ever! In furious haste he gave the
engineer the full speed astern signal
on the whistle, but it was too late.
Just as the engine started to drive
ahea1, the sharp PROV of the Noting
ham smashed into the stern of the
Mansfield and crumpled it up like
pasteboard. The Mansfield was at last
brought up against the dock and
dashed there till the damage could be
ascertained.
Sullivan, wild with wrath, ran down
the gangway toward the engine room.
At the entrance he was met by the
first engineer-the chief also being
ashore.
Way didn't you go ahead?" roared
the deck OHlcer.
1T is my fault" admitted the en-
gineer. when you rang l misread
your order, crossed it, in fact, and
gave her full speed astern."
You'll lose your license for it, too"
Sullivan" exclaimed the engineer,
pleading, desperately, don't tell him.
I've got a wife and children. I've had
awful bad luck during the year with
sickness, and I'm heavily in debt.
Won't you help me?"
do you mean that l should take the
blame?"
The engineer hesitated.
1.-The captain is fond of you," he NUT
tered. You are engaged to his daugh-
ter. 1t won't mean much to you, but
it would mean death to me and mine,
and"
Sullivan turned on his heel and left
him.
Now Sullivan had two things to do.
One was to see Marion Houston before
her father, and the other was to try
to hold fast that position as shipmas-
ter that had been promised him in
Cleveland.
Before ne left the ship he inter
viewed the first engineer.
i've saved you. Thompson" he
said.
WAS the old man mad?"
Mad! I'm fired. And what's more,
he told me he wouldn't have me for
his son-in-law."
Look here, Sullivan" said Thomp-
son, this is too much. I'll go to that
man and tell him the truth"
Don't you say word. It's all done
now. I'll tell you what you can do,
though. Just give me little state
ment of the affair admitting that you
crossed my signal. I'm going to use it
to get ship. 1t won't be allowed to
interfere with you, and the old man
shall never know it"
sullivan" said Thompson grateful
ly, I'll never forget this"
That interview was easy. The one
with Marion Houston was more diff
cult.
Marion" he began. Il am dismissed
from the Mansfield in disgrace.

PONCE DE Icons SPRING.
Woman Has Refused to Sell the Prop
erty for $4,000.

There are ten acres of ground sur
rounding the spot where Ponce de
Leon, on his second visit to what is
now st. Augustine, discovered youth.
History tells that he failed to locate
it on his first visit from Spain to this
section, but that on second trip, in
1913, he was more successful. The
property, called Neptune springs, is
owned by widow, swho, with her
daughter, stands at the Old-fashioned
well affair, and sells the water to tour
lists who visit her in great numbers
The water is tire pureSt kind of lithta
cool and pleasant to the taste. Re
Gently she was offered $45, 1000 for Nep-
tune springs, which has other good
springs aside from Ponce on it. 1t is
located a short distance from the
ruins of the old stone wall and gates
of the city of st. Augustine, used
when this was a province of Spain and
when a Spanish governor general oc-
cupied as a residence the building
now used by Uncle Sam as post Of
fee. Not far away are the ruins of
the old Spanish Fort Marion, wrecked
and ruined by shell from the gunners
who fought under the stars and
stripes Ponce de Icons find is now
we'll within the confines of the city
The widow thought it too valy:able to
dispose, of. So she refused the offer
of $4,000 and goes on ladling out
water from POnce's well as though
she had not tossed aside SMALL f"-
tune.
