CLOSE 10 THE HEART.

A few states have a Mothers day for the purpose of honoring not only individual mothers, but motherhood in general; and next Sunday is the day observed in Pennsylvania, Nebraska and elsewhere for this purpose.
 Concerning the origin of this day, the California Voice says:
 About three years ago an appreci- ative daughter desired to commemo- rate the anniversary of her mothers death. It was not only the thought of laying some flowers on mothers grave, but it occurred to her that it would be a beautiful tribute to all mothers. the living as well as the dead, If their children, on a given day, would unite in the simple wearing of a white flow CT and thus make Mothers day uni- versal The papers everywhere caught up the idea and in two years it swept over not only all of North America, but was heartily welcomed in other lands. The purpose of Mothers day, as conceived by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, U. s. A., with whom 1t originated, is a day in which all lands as one nation may unite in honor of mother. The second Sunday in May of each year is proposed as the day when mother Is to be especially re- mennbered and universal motherhood is exalted jn the esteem of every man, woman and child. The plan is to make it not only a sentimental observance but as far as possible to clothe it with the sanctity and dynamic power that comes from concerted action. The wearing of a white carnation, or other white flower, the beautiful emblem of truth and purity, will be fhal evil dence that the wearer loves to honor his mother living, or her memory If dead"
 This appeals to people of refined sentiments everywhere, and there is no reason why it should not be acted upon by individuals anywhere. who feel that such a day is a blessing to the living as well as a memory of the dead. Az day set apart for special service this should come close to the human heart, for absent sons on that day honor it and themselves by writ ing home letter to mother.

TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WHAT WOMEN DO

"Our little girl has curls," Higgins remarked. Not the ke-believe kind that mothers sometimes twist up, but the regulation tight curls that won't come straight DO matter hoy you pull them"
 "Our Buster has ink-black hair" Dwyer said. You don't know how very striking 1t is in a 3 year old"
 ''Dorothea-we call her Dot for short -is getting mischievous. Not dis agreeably so, of course. Yesterday she came running to my wife crying ''Phone. phone! Plank bad baby! Of course we knew something was wrong and followed where she led. Well, by love if we didn't find that she had un-- hooked the telephone receiver and had been unable to get it back!

She's been so infatuated with the rub Der plant and our two sickly ferns in the flat. What do you suppose she did to kill the geranium? Why, you know that little midget watered 1t with hot water.

FALSE STATEMENTS.

Too often inferences get abroad as facts and sometimes they do much damage. Since Admiral Sperry's bat tleships have all been overhauled some imaginative person has announced that the strain of the voyage practically wrecked them, but The Army and Navy Journal corrects this misstate- ment and says: "The ships will look very different when they come out of the yards on June IS, but the changes will not have been made because the cruise around the world wrecked them"
 The cost of the trip has been esti- mated as from S25,O00OOO to s5o,o0O,- 900, but now the actual cost is stated to have been a million andfa half. and this seems to be a reasonable price for the fame 1t gave the navy and the country in all parts of the earth.
 The exaggerating habit Is bad one and it is too freely indulged in by newspaper correspondents who so oft en entertain us so thoroughly with what they do not know.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Deserved Tribute.

Mir. Editor: I want to tell you of the pleasure I had in reading my Courier of April 27 concerning the "banquet for Mir. Oat," on the 18th anniversary Of his connection with The Bulletin; what a nice time you had, and what a token of appreciation was given him. I anne sure he deserved it, and 1 want to join my good wishes and congratu- iations with yours, with besh wishes for a long and successful life among you.
 I was in The Courier family before Mir. Oat began his work with you; in fact. it's SO long ago that 1t became a regular visitor to our family that cannot recall just when I became a subscriber All that is said in the article concerning the paper is true. It's a newspaper in the best sense of the word. for in 1t a patron may read of the doings in the world, from every quarter of the globe. and can be in touch with all the important affairs of everyday life. We prize 1t here, more than I can express in written words.
 And the gift you presented to the manager; how much of good will there was in it. how great a token of real appreciation and friendship, how fraught with good will, and will be to him a reminder of days gone-yes, and of service in days to come. How very rare such occasions are, and how many flowers are put upon the caskets of the faithful that ought to have been given when the person was alive! O. the cheer of a. good word; the sun shine of appreciation; the saying of Well done" to those we know have done their best. Were there more of this spirit, what a different world this would be-yes. and man would stand closer to his fellow man.

A MISCARRIAGE OF JUsTIcE.

Major General Leonard Wood who, 1t is expected will honor Norwich with his presence on the 250th anniversary. has just shown his mettle in the Capt. Rex Vanden Caport case, in which be sharply rebukes the officers who tried him. The officer was charged with presenting a fraudulent claim against the government for mileage and with conduct unbecominge an off, cer and gentleman. The court found him not guilty on these charges, but guilty of conduct to the prejudice of military discipline. The sentence was that he be reprimanded. Gen. eral Wood says that the opinion Of the court amounts to a declaration that tho presentation of false certif- cates is not inconsistent with the hon. orable status of an officer and a gen. tleman. As the reviewing authority he disapproves the findings and sen tence, and he expresses the opinion that the case will stand as a fla grant instance of the miscarriage of justice.
 General Wood does not mince mat ters and to the case applies the right label. It will stand on record as he has branded 1t.

ARBoR DAY.

What shall we do on Arnor day, April Tth?
 Everybody cannot plant tree or a shrub, but those who cannot might lend their energies to preserving some of the pretty trees and shrubs which they have.
 In a number of states, Arbor day has resolved itself into a beautifying day-the day for setting out shrubs and early Towering plants in the bor- ders and for having a general clean Up of the premises.
 As Arbor day broadens out in prac- ticahty, it is easy to observe that 1t is 6 useful day-a day completely ded- icated to making grounds attractive and yards wholesome.
 Arbor day here in Connecticut is also Bird day, when we may give a protective thought to our insect-de- stroying friends who fill the day with melody.

A southern Kansas woman remem- bered after she got to church that she had left a roaEt in the oven and forgot to turn out the gas. She borrowed a pencil and wrote on a slip of paper: Please go home and turn off the gas. :. Her husband was usher and she had another woman hand 1t to him as he went up the aisle.--But that stupid in- dividual didn't look at 1t, and in spite of all her agonizing attempts to get his attention he marched up and gave 1t to the preacher, who had a very be- wildered look on his face when he pro- ceeded to read the announcements Kansas City Journal.
