Roses IN Legend and History.

When the captive Jews in Babylon
hung their harps upon the willows. the
air was sweet with the fragrance OF
growing roses: and upon returning to
their own land the exiles are said to
have carried with them seeds of the
flowers which had frightened their
captivity. Thus Syria became the
home of roses. Even the name of this
country is derived. according to some
philologists, from "Seri." meaning "a

Love Of Sleep.

John was a sleepy head. so celebrat-

known to wake up by what his family
called a natural process. so when he
went on to college il was only natural
that he should be presented with
alarm clocks from two of his nuner-
Gus aunts
one will he enough, dear" said his
mother. but John took them both.
He SET the alarm of one at the hour
of rising and placed It at the head of
his bead: the other he set Is minutes
later. and each night placed it at the
head OF the stairs outside of his lsnd-
lady's door Then he wrote ho,ne
an account Of how it worked.
As his alarm went on in the morn
ing his first thought was that the
clock on the stairs would make itself
heard in Is minutes. This aroused
him so fully that he was able to spring

1T is for the latter the fight is

SUNSHINE
BY STUART MAGICIAN

A little gold amidst the gray,
That's sunshine;
A little brightness on the way,
That's sunshine;
A little glimpsing of the blue,
A little widening of the view,
A little heaven breaking through,
That's sunshine.
A little looking for the light,
That's sunshine;
A little patience through the night
That's sunshine;
A little bowling of the will,
A little resting on the hill,
A little standing very still,
That's sunshine.
A little smiling through the tears
That's sunshine;
A little faith behind the fears,
That's sunshine;
A little folding of the hand,
A little yielding of demand,
A little grace to understand,
That's sunshine.

1t is not improbable, should the

Mothers, this is a little sermonet
for you. Its only excuse is the old
one, which as mother you know
80 well, your daughters welfare!
Every one knows more about
your business than you do your
self. One can almost hear you say
that with a bored, half quizzical
smile and glance around the fam
lily circle. Yes, they do; and the
world is woefully long on advice
and short on action. but the out
slider sees a few things the one on
the inside may miss.
Keep your hands off your daugh-
ter's life and force the rest of the
family to do the same.
Strange advice for the present
age when girls have too much lib
erty to use and abuse Perhaps il
Is. But there comes a time in ev-
cry girls life when she must do
her own living, walk erect, or she
will never ak at ali.
The best gift you can give your
girl Is self reliance.
She needs your supervision until
her character is formed, she will
need your sympathy and love and
womanly advice all her life long
But that need not hinder her from
bearing her own burdens, as ev-
cry man and woman worthy the
name must.
One Of the most beautiful memo.
rles have Is that of q mother who
never ''meddled."
She would advise or encourage;
comfort and console: but her faith
was perfect and she was not afraid
70 trust her daughters Judgment.

HOUSE CLEANING

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-
Aroused by reports that have been
sent broadcast that this city was
plague ridden, San Francisco has
began a fight for a. general clean
ing up which will be one of the
greatest in the history of any mu-

kinds are to take part. Rats will
be exterminated, sewers repaired
and relaid where necessary, and a
strict garbage ordinance will be en-
forced.
The work will be in charge of
Or. Rupert Blue, who was sent to
this city to take charge of the
fight against bubonic plague.
The city politics cleanup has
been going on for some time and
there is still material to work on.

caused more favorable talk and COM
