Says one of our exchanges what
man does not reverence the name OF
mother. To her he owes his all, she
cared for him when a helpless infant
guiding his toddlIng footsteps and
taught his baby lips to lisp prayer.
If when passing from the mothers
care, a boy still keeps her image in
his heart. he is prepared for the bat
ties of life. He will never become SO
desperate or SO depraved but that her
love will bring out all that is noble in
him. Young man heed the advice of
your mother and never be disobedieHt
to her wishes. Then later when the
declining years of life come. when you
stand tottering figure with silvery
hair and dim ewes, looking toward
the everlasting shore. you will have
no cause TO lisp a prayer of vain regret

Yes, said the dealer. you did buy
that kind Of a set for $50. but you did

The rancher said he believed he did

"If you'll bring me that same amount Of
