The HANDING Of Pictures.

A woman bought three pictures In a
Fifth avenue art store.
"Shall | send some one up to hang
them?" asked the dealer.
II don't KNOW" hesltated the wo-
man. who had already exceeded her al
lowance In buying the pictures. "How
much extra will 1t cOstT'

"In the case Of any important sale

TO The MOTHER
OF BOYS
BY ZELMA TRAVERS

| want to talk to all mothers who
have sons. Not only to the joyous
young. but the mother whose hands
have tOiled, whose eyes have wept
blood, whose heart has been broken,
let me say a little word. And this
little word is about the boy.
1t does not matter if he is just
beginning to lisp his first prayer
at your knee. if he is strutting
about in the new pair of trousers
fashioned by your loving and deft
fingers, or whether he is taking a
surreptitious puff al the forbidden
cigarette, he is going to be man
some day and it depends upon you,
his mother. whether he is to be an
honorable and respected citizen or
failure or perhaps something far
worse.
A child moves by instinct until
the reason asserts itself. Have you
ever noticed how quickly an animal
discovers whom it is to disregard
whom it dare not disobey? 1t is the
same with the child who is nothing
more than an animal until the mind
and soul begin to bloom into in
telligence and knowledge.
You may be poor, over worked
unable to give your boy a college
education. These things do not
matter for if you have been a friend
and companion to your son, he will
rise up in his stalwart manhood and
| take the burden from your bent
shoulders. 1t is the education Of
the heart and mind that counts
and no woman is too poor to give
that wonderful treasure to her boy
When the son gets beyond you
don't send him to his father. Take
him and talk and try to understand
the mystery of the life that yol
have brought into the world. b.
gentle and firm and command re
spect for your word.
1t is the mothers duty to make ;

FROM YE ANNALS OF We
CHIVAlRY

Lived there by the reaches of the
Wabasshe stalwart knighte
yclept Sir Fairbankes, of goodly
prowess and much worldly goods.
And exc by his arts he had won
much advancement, so that it came
to pass that he was vice regent 81

him great homage. inasmuch as ye
barons held the lande in bondage
and profited much by the rede OF
Sir Fairbankes. For we Sir Fair
bankes was a foxy olde guy, and
that is no idle dreame.
II.
And there abode in the realm also
We courtly Knighte Sir Byll Tafte,
not so fond of strife as of peace. but
puissant in war withal. so that he
was high in the council of the SOW
reign and sent forth to strange
lands and peoples to hand out ye
choice line of cOmmandes of We
monarch as the deputy Wielder OF
We Bigge Stick. SO thta Sir Tafte
his fame grew wide and also his
knightly frame and his advance
ment was all to the merrie, and
much.
All the while ambition quickened
in the crafty innards of ye Sir FAIR
bankes. and he set his spear upon
the prize of We kingdom, even upon
We succession to We kingship. And
thereto kidnapeth most knavishlee
We fair maid Indiana and maketh
her captive in his tower on ye
bankes of We Wabasshe with many
a stout retainer and alarms
round about. For ye fair maid was
of royal influence and greatly es-
teemed, yet was heart whole, hav-
ing not yet met her true knighte.
And it came to pass that ye Sir
Byll Tafte, coming home from We

more than I cent per pound and
as low as y cent is paid. That fig
ures as low as $3.50 for bale, and
possible as high as S. per bale.
An ordinary bale of cotton
should bring more than $50 when
the price is close around l0c per
pound.
1t has been estimated that more
than 200.000 bales of cotton have
gone to the bad here this season.
Those are regarded as low figures.
Figured at S45 per bale, it would
mean nearly S10000000 in cash
value which farmers. factors and
buyers have lost in this district.
Yet the outside world has hardly
heard a whimper from the south
this season There have been
very few failures in any direction
and only the other day the first cot
ton factor to assign in Memphis was

To avoid the possibility of an
other such season, the railroads

It is an undisputable fact that in the thirteenth century Stavoren was a wealthy and powerful commercial city; however, due partly to the port becoming choked with sand, and part Fly to. the irruptlon of the zuyder Zee in 1277, it rapidly lost it's importance. and at the present time what is left of it only affords shelter to about 800 souls.
