For the Mother.

What does girl owe her mothers
To manifest an interest in whatever affects or
amuses her.
To seek the mothers comfort and pleasure III all
things before ones own, says the New York Sun.
Not to forget. though she may be old and wrin-
kled. she still loves pretty things.
Frequently to make her simple gifts, and be sure
that they are appropriate and tasteful.
To remember that she is still girl at heart, so
far as delicate little attentions are concerned.
To give her full confidence and avoid meriting
her disapproval.
To If: the many burdens from shoulders that
have grovsn stopped perhaps in waiting upon her
girls and in working for them.
Never by word or deed TO signify that the daugh-
ter's world and hers differ, that feels the
mother is out of date.
To study her tastes and habits her likes and dis
likes. and cater to them in unobtrusive way.
To bear patiently with all her peculiarities and
infrmities which after all may be the result of
life of care and toll.
To defer to her opinions even If they do seem
antiquated and not obtrusivey to possess the WIS
dom of ones college education.
To do ones best in keeping the mother youthful
in appearance as we'll in spirit by overseeing her
costume and the little details of her toilet.
Not to shock her by turning into rdlcule her re-
icious preiudices if they happen to be at variance
with ones own advanced views.
To introduce her to ones friends and enlist her
sympathies in ones projects hopes and plans thaV

What Do Our Boys Read?

Catholic fathers and mothers, how often do you
stop to ask yourselves this question?
Do you know what your boy is reading Have
you asked him the name of the book in which he
seemed so thoroughly absorbedl Have you ever
looked it over to see what it contains!
We fear that too often Catholic parents will
be forced to confess their neglect of this essential
duty. Think for moment of the moral tenden-
cies of this age of ours. We know the history of
crime that is being daily recorded in each of
large cities; and it is this history of crime which
is the source of much of the material found in the
chapters of many of modern novels Are you
anxious to have your children feed their minds upon
these husks that are unfit for swines Perhaps you
have not read these books yourself. SO much the
better But this cannot serve as your defense.
eursory glance at the chapters bearing the most
suggestive titles will give you insight into the
worth Of the book; while, if this is not pos
sible there are those to whom you always refer,
not the least among whom is your confessor.
Every book which your boy brings into the house
should be first submitted to you for inspection,
and the slightest doubt to its moral soundness
should be sufficient to cause you to forbid the
reading of it, at least until you have made in
quries. paper cover does not condemn book:
but Iool; very carefully at the printed that
paper cover. and see whether the condemnation of
the book is written there Then go a steu farther.

Donts for Working Girls.

Don't go to public dances,
Don't go to Saturday night dances.
Don't miss your prayers in the morning.
Don't read yellow journals going to and coming
from work Don't read them at any time. Improve
your mind-don't help its diseases.
Don't be late for work.
Don't give less labor than is due for what you
receive.
Don't give your employer chance to be a bene-
factor. Rather beg your bread Take favor from
any man and you on most treacherous ground.
Don't permit the least bit of familiarity from
your employer whether he be married or unmarried.
Your life is worthless if you do. You there to
work not to start honeymoon
Don't Give to eat, but eat to live" You cannot
stand the indiscretion of eating nothing but candy
and ice cream and tea for lunch.
Don't break into conversation It's far better
to be poor and polite than rich and impoite
Don't be jealous. 1t will hurt you not the one
of whom you jealous.
Don't miss your Sunday morning Mass or month
ly confession for all the money in creation.

At the Close of Day.

A little man, in garments gray,
Goes through the land at the close of day,
And in each trembling, wrinkled hand
He holds bag of glistening sand.
From whence he comes, or near or far,
The children always wondering are;
He travels at a rapid pace,
And no one ever sees his face.
But come he does and scatters sand;
One moment only does he stand,
Quick through the lamp lit room it fes;
They feel it in their blinking eyes.
And hardly have they rubbed them twice
Before mamma says, in a trice,
BE off now children, up the stairs,
Now wash your hands and say your prayers"
90 little man, so queer and gray!
Why do you Gomez" the children say.
"How very queer the sand must be,
That we can feel but never see~

seeds of evil that are being scattered broadcast over

Does your boy read the detailed stories of crime

Ben Bolt.

Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,
Sweet Alice whose hair was so brown,
Who wept with delight when you gave her smile.
And trembled with fear at your frown?
In the old church yard in the valley, Ben Bolt
In a corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted slab of the granite so gray,
And Alice lies under the stone.
Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt,
Which stood at the foot of the HILL
Together we've lain in the MONDAY shade,
And listened to Appleton's mill.
The mill-whee has fallen to pieces, Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tumbled in,
And quiet which crawls round the walls you gaze
Has FOLLOWED the olden din
Do you mind the cabin of logs, Ben Bolt,
At the edge of the painless wood
And the button-ball tree with its motley limbs
Which nigh by the doorstep stood2
The cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt,
The tree you would seek in vain;
And where once the lords of the forests waved
Grows grass and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt
With the master so cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the running brook,
Where the children went to SWIM
Grass grows on the masters grave, Ben Bolt,
The spring of the brook is dry
And of all the boys who were schoolmates then
There are only you and l.
There is change in the things loved, Ben Bolt
They have changed from the old to the new,
But feel in the depth of my spirit the truth,
There never was change in you.
Twelve months twenty have past Ben Bolt,
Since first we were friends-yet - hail
Thy presence blessing, thy friendship a truth,
Ben Bolt of the salt-sea gale.

WHAT IS IT ALL2"

What is it all, when all is told?
This ceaseless striving for fame or gold,
The feeting JOY or bitter tears,
We are only here for a fe wshort years.
Nothing our own but the silent past,
Joyful or painful nothing can last:
Each pathway leads to the silent fold;
Oh! what is it all, when all is told!
What is it all?-Just passing through,
A cross for me, and cross for you.
Ours seems heavy, while others seem light,
But God, in the end, makes all things right.
He tempers the wind with loving care,
Knows the burden that each can bear;
Then turns ifes gray to heavenly gold;
OF! that is all. when all is told.

Little Lady Wide-Awake.

Little Lady Wide-Awake,
Ere the dawn begins to break,
Opens up her eyes, and then
Won't go back to sleep again.
Can't be frightened, can't be coaxed,
Can't be bribed and can't be hoaxed;
Let the world say what it may,
Wide-awake she's bound to stay.
We're she but content to lie
Silent, cen as you and |;
Were she one that would remain
Quiet meath the Counterpart
Why, her serfs at least could stay
Sleeping till the dawn of day;
But when she herself's astir,
All her serfs must wait on her.
Little Lady Wide-Awake!
Little lady, for thy sake,
Eyes reluctant all must ope,
Hands reluctant, all must grope;
Minds reluctant must come back
Ger the drowsy, dreamy track;
All must be alert to show
That their duty well they know.
Your commands they all must take,
Little Lady Wide-Awake.

Nov. l3,--Robert Clyatt. a camp foreman during the construc- tion of the Florida East Coast Rail- road. testified in today's hearing of the so-called peonage cases that it was difieult to get iaborers owing to re- chain gang" but the statement was or- dered stricken from the records by the court.
 The witness said that EIuff, one of the men on trial for conspiracy, told him that arrangements had been made with the Miami authorities for the re- turn of men who ran away from camp. Clyatt said he had taken care of about 100 men in Jacksonville. who came from Eabbia's labor agency in New York to work on the East Coast Rail- road
 Numerous objections were made by the defendants counsel to, this testi- mony and the court said that it had no bearing on the conspiracy charge
 eff the jury should return verdict of guilty on such testimony" said the court. T would deem it my duty to set 1t aside"
 After hearing the testimony of sev- era1 more witnesses Judge Hough said the Government had failed utterly to establish prima facie case of con- -spiracy.
 He abruptly adjourned court and ad- vised the Government prosecutor to have some material witness on hand for the next session.

 This statement was made to-day by Chief of Detectives oBrien after he had seen Miss Otis. who was pale and hysterical, calling constantly for her mother.
 Mrs. sarah Otis. Miss otis's mother was interviewed by telephone at Mauston, Wis, to-day. With reference to the statement made by detectives who made the arrest that Mrs. Otis was to be murdered by hired thug upon her return to Chicago Saturday night, Mrs. Otis declared that she had not intended to come to Chicago on that day. had made no plans. in fact. and had not been urged by her daugh- ter to come.
 Macs last letter." said Mrs. Otis. twas quite as usual and made no ref erence to my coming home. She was a cheerful, normal girl and I am sure that she is the victim of some pre- posterous mistake. I gave her money some times, but she seldom seemed to need it. She was sick great deal last summer and I wanted her to stop work, but she did not care to follow my advice. We never had any trou- ble for she was good girl and loving daughter."
 It was in this interview that Mrs. Otis learned of her daughters arrest and she expressed her intention of coming at once to Chicago to the girls aid,
 Miss Otis is alleged 2 to have ap- preached Robert c. Stoeipman. a pri- vate detective, with a proposition to do away with her mother for q con sideration of 3100 to bind the bargain and $200O when the deed had been accomplished. selpman informed the city police and detective Mackey was detailed to assume the role of thug, willing and competent to do job which would have no hospital pre- Jude" Every arrangement had been completed with the thugs" last night and Miss Otis is said to have paid over the sI00 to bind tho bargain.
 The following receipt was taken from her after her arrest: Received of Mae L. Otis. $40 East Forty Sixth Place $I00; balance due S2.400. (signed)
 Robert H. Stelpman."
 It is also alleged that Miss Otis gave stelpman a promissary note for the s2, 400 payable after she had collected her mothers small fortune. Following Gne ue41Nery or lnls note the IhlnBs made known their true identity and the arrest was made.
 The prisoners first visitor to-day was Miss Anna Sturvinga, a cashier of a restaurant near the Rock Island Sta ton. Miss Stuvinga declared that she had persuaded her employer to lend Miss Otis the s100 said to have been paid over by the latter to the de- tectives.
 Later Captain o'Brien ordered the prisoner brought to his office, where
