IF MOTHER WOULD LISTEN.

AIf mother would listen to me. dears.
She would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hours rest,
And sometimes a trip to town.
And It shoulde't be all for the children,
The fuu and the cheer and the play.
With the patient droop OF the tired mouth
And the Mother has had her day"
True. mother hashad her day. dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the house
As busy as Il bee.
When She rocked you all o sleep, dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out, and did without,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come. dears,
Her hair is growing white;
And her eyes are gaining the far away look
That peers beyoad the night.
One of these days in the morning
Mother will not be here,
She will fade away into silence
The mother so true and dear.
Then what will you do in the daylight
And what in the glooming lin?
And father tired and lonesome then,
Pray, what will you do for him?
If you want TO keep your mother
You must make her rest today;
Must give her "A share of the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And if mothers would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her. gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet
And ruffels as white as milk.
And she'd let you do the t~rotting,
While she set still in her chair;
That mother should have it hard all through
1t strikes me isn't fair.

People have almost forgotten by
this time that there ever was a
leak in the statistical bureau Of the
Department of Agriculture, but
there was, nevertheless, a year, or
nearer two years ago. 1t resulted
in the self exile of John Hyde, the
statistician of the Department., to
England where he has been ever
since. Several men are supposed
to have made fortunes out of the
illicitly obtained advance infor-
nation, and at last one of them is
being brought to trial. He is Ed
win s. Holmes, former assistant
chief of the Bureau of Statistics,
and the man who is accused Of
having divulged the crop infor-
nation to two New York brokers
for speculative purposes. The

SO CONSTITUTED.

There are some people SO con-
stituted that they go straight for
the pleasant things as a bee pitch
es for a clover top as soon as he is
out of the hive. They like every
thing. If they go to a concert
they find at least one voice that
suits them, wondering how God
could put so much melody into a
single throat. They enjoy the
spring, they love the summer, they
luxurate in autumn, they praise
the winter. They are. pleased un-
der any and all circumstances.
They are the people you like to
have for customers if you are a
merchant, for clients if you are a
lawyer, for patients if you are a
doctor, but you don't very often
get them on the sick list for they
can cure almost any kind of dis
ease, eve q "brain storm with o
bottle of laughter, ito be shaken

same bluff overlooking the great
Missi ssippi river. The one a
see nothing but a winding sheet of
water obliged to follow down an
incline on the earth's surface, and
therefore of no interest to him.
The other, spellbound and with
awe and admiration for the won
derful works of nature, beholds a
mighty river, as in it's careless
power and majectic beauty it rolls
ever onward toward the sea. So
we saw the ripple of the water here
and there as it played around the
hidden rock, we thought of the
pilot who, when ask if he knew
where all the dangerous rocks and
shoals were along the deep river,
replied: "No, but | know where
the deep water is and If we keep
the boat in the deep water we
shall be safe and need not worry
much about where the rocks are"
AS we unused we thought there
was a lesson in this. 1t said to us
not to tool away our lives paddl-
in G along the shores of the River
of Time, probing around trying to
find all the rocks. We believe
many lives are wrecked, not as
much by the storms of life as by
drifting with the tide and striking
these rocks and coming in con-
tact with the hidden sins and dan
gers along the shore. Push out
on the deep water, head your bark
up the stream, none but lazy, in
dolent people drift with the tide.
Lay hold upon the promises Of
God and pull against the current
and as the years roll by as c~easeless
as the flow OF this mighty river we
shall be able to look back with
peace and consolation upon a life
well spent in the service of God
and humanity and by and by how
sweet will come the welcome words
"Well done, good and faithful
servant"

The war Department has just
concluded the test of a military
balloon in Washington, one of ten
that is already in the hands of the
army. This one is entirely Of
American manufacture and Is by
1900 cubic feet the biggest that
has ever been tried in this country.
The balloon was inflated with
illuminating gas and q start was
made from Washington this week.
The day was favorable and in a
little W. four hours q flight was
made from this city toHarrisburg,
Pa. 1t was not a record breaking
performance, but was travelling
about as fast as a railroad train.
The travellers were j. q. Mccoy,
a civilian and an amateur aeron-
aut; Capt. De Forrest Chandler Of
the Army Signal Corps, and Leo
Stevens of New York, the maker
of the balloon. The most Interest,"
ing thing about the trip was that
IL proved that this country could
produce al good, ifnot better bali
looms than have been imported
from France. Several more are to
be bought. The government has
appropriated for q regular balloon
station and training school 81

The world would be mmch bet
ter than it if people would live to
their obituary notices.

The first duty of a man is to his
home, to his wife and to his chill
dren, if he is so fortunate as to
have them. AS a husband and
father should be the light and JOY
of the household. To the children
he should be their counselor and
friend, their strength for duty their
encouragement to excellence, their
comfort and help in all that pre-
pares for usefulness and makes
home attractive to all.

The parlor as a parlor will soon
be a thing of the past. The very
name seems to suggest stiffness
and lack of comfort. The new
houses, even the most modern
ones, will have the best room, the
one in which the whole family
gathers, a warm sunny place, a
home room in the truest sense.
The next generation will not waste
npace on parlors. Perhaps a little
library, for privacy, will also be
indispensable to many. This
CHEEKY room of the future will hold
the piano, the general books, the
pictures, work baskets and every
thing that serves to make home a
haven Of rest for loyal hearts.
Speed the day.

HUGHES BOOM IN INDIANA.
Fairbanks Opponents Plan to Make
Governor States Second Choice.

INDIANAPOLIS. July Friends of Vice
President Fairbanks are exercised over
what seems to be a movement throughout
the state in favor of Gov. Hughes Of New
York for the presidency. and 1t Is being
engineered with SO much skill that 1t IS
battling the Fairbanks managers.
1t is not claimed that a movement is in
progress to wrest the Indiana delegation
from Fairbanks, but simply to create a
sentiment in favor of the New York gov
ernor that shall manifest itself among the
people rather than among the politicians.
and thus influence the delegates from In
diana in reaching a second choice before the
balloting begins in the national conven-
ton.
Within the last ten days something like
definiteness has been given to the move
ment by direct overtures to Representative
James Watson to become the candidate of
the party for governor 1t is known that
Mr. Fairbanks. who Is encountering op-
position both in the eighth and tenth dis
tricts. has been quietly at work through
his managers trying to make an arrange
ment by which the party candidate for
governor can be selected from one Of these
districts and the anti-Cremer men can have
full swing in the selection of the congress
sional candidate In the eighth. BY this
arrangement it has been hoped to secure
delegates for Fairbanks to the national
convention without a contest, but the
friends of Gov. Hughes are trying to offset
the Fairbanks quest for harmony by bring
ing Watson into the race for governor.

GENEROUS, DECLARES AokI
PRAISES REDUCTION OF DEMAND
oN CHINA.
Eoesnt Regard the Act as Prejudieial
to the Interest Of
Japan.

Baron Aoki. the Japanese ambassador,
has given out q statement for publication in
which he declares that Japan Is glad to
hear that this country intends to reduce It's
indemnity demands on China: reaffirms the
'open door, policy Of Japan as to the Chi
nese empire, and declares with warmth
that he has never had the least nisunder-
standing with President Roosevelt or the
State Department.
When the announcement was made q few
days ago that this country would relieve
China from the payment Of millions of the
Boxer indemnity it was reported that other
countries to which she was indebted. fnclud-
ing Japan. would be piaued. possibly. at the
thought of losing their hold on China, which
would soon be able to pay its debts 1t was
also suggested that the gift of SO much
money to China by the United States was
In effect bid for commercial iavors. and.
following so closely on the gift of money
and -four in relief of the famine sufferers
in China, 1t might be expected that this
country would profit largely through the
friendly sentiment which would spread
throughout the empire and counterfeit the
effect of the boycott
Ambassador Aoki was asked whether he
the cancellation of part Of the Chinese in
demnity by this country was pretudicial to
tapans commercial interests. He declared
with emphasis that he did not think so.
II think" he said ut Is great gener-
osity Of the American people and President
Roosevelt. 1t does not make any differ
ence whatever to Japan, and 1t makes
good impression. China owes US an In
demnity Of $4,000. OOO. and she has fifty
nine years to pay it. She is able to pay it.
We have no care for that. and we shall
in; anybody can go in No nation should
be preferred and none shall be preferred.
All shall be treated alike and impartially.
That is according to the principle laid down
by Mr.. John Hay.
"Of course, the Chinese minister Is nat
urally very much delighted over the deter
mination to return the larger part Of the
indemnity. 1t was gracious thing for
your government to give him such good
news to take home with him, for even II
Congress should not approve of the gift 1t
Is a gracious thing of the President and the
Secretary Of State to suggest that 1t be
made"
