FATHER AND MOTHER.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.


The school childen of Oak Park. a
suburb of Chicago, were recently asked
to vote, the issue being, .eWho is the
best and greatest person who ever
| lived?'
A partial statement of the result is
given as follows: Lincoln, II; Wash
ington, IL; Mckinley. 6; Roosevelt, 4;
King Arthur, 8; Joan of Arc, 8; MY
Father" 3; my Mother" 8; King Solo,
mon, l.
Here is an interesting revelation Of
| the child mind.
The first thing that strikes one is the
overwhelming patriotic trend of the
children. Another thing is the entire
absence of the commercial spirit. There
is no millionaire or captain of industry
on the list.
1t may be stated that those childen
who voted for their fathers and
mothers voted their real sentiments.
The other votes are the reflection of
adult opinion.
t.My father"
Blessings on the head of the children
who cast that BALLOT The normal child
Is the one who thinks its father the
greatest and best man. If the child
thinks otherwise there is something
| the matter with 1t or with the father
The father has every advantage In
fhof from ho GV~c<
to him. He only needs to be q firm
but gracious sovereign to be always
| the king. There are those of US who
have gray threads in our hair who yet
believe that father is the grandest
and noblest man we have ever known.
'My mother"
Those votes came naturally. They
voiced a real conviction. On second
thought every child would have writ
ten mother on his ticket. You will
sometimes find a person who does not
| love his father. Rare are those, chill
Lren or adult, who do not revere the
mother. Lord Byrons are scarce.
| Mother is queen who rules by divine
light. Her scepter is compelling love.
At the mention of her sacred name the
bolts to every heart are unbarred. In
her name devils are cast out She lures
to heaven and points the way
Father and mother-king and queen
Of the kingdom of love!
| Oh. hearts grown sore and weary
with the buffets of the world, We have
bent the knee to many liege lord and
lady-false sovereigns-in your time,
but the mid and gentle reign of
father and mother" is from ever
lasting unto everlasting.

this IS ny BIRD BIRTHDAY"
John w. Gates.

John w. Gates. whose successful
speculations and big financial deals
have made him well known to all
readers of newspapers, was born on a
farm in DuPage county, Illinois. May
IS, 1855. and received his education in
the country schools near his home. He
began business life as a proprietor of
a small hardware store at Turner
Junction, Ill, and later at Wheaton,
Ill, became travelling salesman for
Colonel Isaac Ellwood, the pioneer
manufacturer of the barbed wire fence.
Mr.. Gates introduced the use of barbed
wire in Texas and later established
himself at st. Louis as a manufac-
.turer of barbed wire on his own ac-
count. The company which he origin
ally organized he combined with other
wire factories and in 1898 he reaped a
handsome profit by selling the eonsoli-
dated company to the Federal Steel
company. He also organized the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company and
merged it into the giant United States
SSteel corporation. Since severing his
active connection with the steel com
panies Mr.. Gates has been identified
with numerous big deals that involved
large transactions in railway and In
,dustrial securities. Recently he has
given much of his attention to plans
for development of the town of Port
Arthur. Texas.
