Mother.


Who is it knows just what to do
When things 90 wrong and life looks
blue?
Who is it sings amid her care
And smiles when shadows bring despair?
Who is it through her changclcss day
Exchanging goes her faithful way?
Who is it keeps the light. the home,
Still sweet howr'cr her loved may roam?
Mother,
Who is it bears her little ills
With patience as the Master wills:
VINO is it comes. who is it goes,
When others suffer. like the rose,
With soft compassion, tender wilcs,
Dear touch Of hand and charm of smiles
That bring back comfort, cheer and rest
To burning brow and aching breast!
Mother!
Who is it reads upon his" face
The care that business leaves. the trace
OF all-day worry, hard wrought grind,
Who is it brings his chair, his pipe.
And leans with lips where love sits ripe
To pour upon his troubled day
The comfort of her woman's way?
Mother!
Who is it, when the gray wolves knock,
Guards with her soul her little flock?
Who is it nurses, rcars and tends,
Heals little wounds and knits and mends
Who is it takes her own joy less
In grandeur than in tenderness,
Long giving up through long-drawn years
Without one sign of sob or tears2
Mother!
Who is it earns as well as she
A little right to rest and glee?
A little seashore now and then.
With other wives of other men?
A little mountain, lake or brook,
A little sunshine and a book;
A little quiet hour of cheer,
With work all donc and conscience clear :?
Mother.
Who is it wins the crown she wears
When love lays wreaths upon gray hairs,
And JOY IN wings of softest sieam
Leads home her little ships of dream?
Who is it, though she goes not down
Each day to business in the town,
Still lifts her burden, tolls her share.
Ful6lls her trust and meets her care?
Mother!
All, mock her not with rules unseen
OF garish eyes-a honcspun queen,
A sovereign round whose scepter sweet
The liegemen of the hearthstone meet:
A monarch who has made the earth
A greener mold, of greater worth.
And brifded in the hearts of time
The altar fires of faith sublime
Mother!
Baltimore Sun.

NeelleSvDrk Notes.

Shelves for small supplies and Il box
lining, as well as knee board, will be
fourd very useful in the sewing Don
Among the daintiest petticoats worn
by baby with the first short dresses are
those devoid of ruffies. Above the hem
stitched hem are little clusters of en-
broidered flowers.
Ii selecting Innings for Il jacket it is
well to consider whether the garment
will be worn over ~light-colored waists +;
If so. it is by far wiser to have Il light
lining than a dark one.
The fancy vests which are being
worn are often made with no back
the fronts are connected by a strap Of
elastic at The waist line. This makes
coat without difficulty.
Narrow velvet bands are now used
at the top Of fragile collars, headed
with high ruching. 1t is found Il good
support for the collar. besides adding
much to the neck fixture. Satin bands
may he used in the same manner.
a very good trimming for the cuffs,
collar and tie of a very fine linen, is to
work the edges with narrow scallops.
and make a border edge of pin-head
dots. each the size of an ordinary pin
head. This can be made In Il white
French knot. If a color is desired then
use tan or blue.

ought to take an extra think or two
before he makes any more statements
Of that kind. The round-Shouldered,
flat-chested, tiat-footed beauty Of Eur
opean society may be his ideal, but the
American man knows his own mind,
and his taste doesn't run TO that sort.
European titles seem to have a fatal
fascination for sundry empty-headed
and empty-heartcd American girls, but
you don't see American men prowling
about Europe hunting for wives.
The American man doesn't marry IA
woman merely to get his housekeeping
done for nothing. He marries n bright.
beautiful American girl to be his COM
Danion in life. He doesn't regard his
wife as a chattel. He likes her bril-
liancy, and likes to be envied because
she is his. He doesn't want n senti-
mental. sickly nope, but a strong, able
wife. with a sound body as well as n
sound mind. Guess again, Judge Ce-
derstrom. You're away wrong.-Chi-
cago Journal.

WEALTHY MAN SHINES SHOES.
ohionn Worth 100000 stin sticks to

I'VE
Old Trnde-Cooka for Vacation.
If you had $4,000 slowed comfort
ably away in a bank, would you shine
shoes at 10 cents n clip seven days. year
in and year out? 1t is not very likely
you would, but that is just what Al
Shartle, one of the unique fnancierS or
Dayton, is doing, and. moreover, he Is
happy and can be induced to quit MS
Job, says the Ohio State Journal. The
only time Shartle gives up his "Shine
box is during the autumn. when, ac'
companied by his brother, he makes the
rounds Of the country fairs Of Ohio.
This week he is at the State fair, con-
Quoting a restaurant under the grand
stand. This is his vacation. 1t gives
him a rest from bending over the mud
dy boot and at the same time he IS
adding to his fortune and having a good
time, which mea something to a fel-
low who Is making thousands Of dol
lars, 10 cents at a time.
Shartle began his ~moneymaking ca.
reer in Dayton in 1867, when he diScOv-
cred hat there was more money in pol
fishing Il pair of shoes at 10 cents than
in cooking meals for which some m
else obtained the profit. He had been
a coOk in his youth. When he changed
his trade business was small at first,
but gradually he increased it, until At
the present time his clientele is SutH-
cient to keep him busy all day-every
day.
When Shartle shines your shoes they
reflect your face and the heavens above.
Most of his trade is confined to Office
buildings and large stores. Moncymak-
ing is q habit with him. He likes it.
He says he does not care to amaSs n
big fortune like some OF the money
kings of the country, but he wants Ia
get what he an. When asked why he
continued to shine shoes after becoming
well to do, he replied, ITO make an
other fortune" Shartle will not tell
wnat he is worth, but it is stated in
his home city that he has $1,000 for
every a Of his life. He is 81 years
old. His money is invested in real cs-
tate, from which he receives a good re
turn. He was never known to SpecI-
late.
Shartle Is married. and his wife ell
te1tains frequently. Her wardrobe is
in strong contrast to the simple things
which satisfy him. The Shartle home
Is mere thai comfortable and has been
the scene Of many a gay gathering.

THE HELPLESS U

There is q sort of woman whom al
women despise and most men adore
and that is the bit of fluff who can
do anything for herself-when there is
n man around.
She is not always a pretty woman
II she were. women would forgive her
She is not always a little woman. Ii
she were. Women could stand her.
But sometimes she is old and big and
fat-but helpless. Helpless, too, IN
maddening ways. She can't get up a
fight of steps alone, or over a muddy
crossing. She never can swim, so she
requires all the men on the beach to
pull her up when h falls down in
the water. Then she generally wceps
and does kittenish things that make
other women long to slap her.
The men may regard her as a nui-
sance, but they bear with her and wait

Did you ever take the trouble 10
watch one Of these women? A small.
rather pretty woman. l mcan, who was
of the helpless variety?
She watches men as Il cat watches Il
mouse-hole. She never gets helpless
when there are only women about: She
can stir around quite nimbly when she
has to-. But wait until the mouse
pushes his first whiskcr out of his hole !;
wait until she can see Il little black

tells her will resolve itself into a man.
Presto! Both her shoe laces come un-
tied, she drops her handkerchief. and

RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS.

Charge OF Covvnrdics n slnnder-De-
fent of u Ferret.
Tell Il man that he hasn't the pluck
of a rabbit and il he doesn't disproyc it
by hitting you he is certain at any rate
to be extremely annoyed. says Pearson's
Weekly.
Yet the taunt is a libel on the rabbit.
A doe rabbit will fight like fury in
defense of her young. She win charge
like a battering ram and use those long
sharp incisors of hers to capital pur-
pose.
An old buck rabbit is not to be light,
y tackled by weasel, stoat or even fer
ret. On the sandcd floor of q small
public house near Chestnut a ferret Of
long experience was matched with an
old lop-eared buck, the property of the
landlord.
The ferret made straight for the rab-
bits throat, but the latter was in the
cir before master ferret could rea III
him, and leaping clean over the ferret's
head let out with those powerful hint
legs of his Il kick which hurled the
ferret bodily against the wainscot.
Twice the ferret returned to the ATTACK
and twice he missed his grip and went
hurting through the air.
The third repulse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and could
not be persuaded to stand up for q
fourth round.

Casualties Expected.

During n Of Speaker Cannon's BIT
ter political fights in his district In ILL
ro;s. the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things,
friends OF Uncle Joe were summarily
dismissed from positions they held in
the public service. Some Of his friends
became alarmed at this, and one Of
them called on the Speaker at his resi-
dence. and said somewhat excitedly:
"Joe, Smith and Jones have lost their
positions in the postoffice. What are we
going to do about it,"
Uncle Joe took another pun at his
cigar and then aswered, with a benev-
client smile. Nothing. II you go into
a battle, you have got to expect to have
some dead and wounded"
