The rows had beautiful bulges in them.
Some bulged to the right and some to
| the left, and some started across the
yard and then headed for the alley
fence. Mrs. Bowser came out and
looked at them and asked:
Ibid you take. picturesqueness into
account in setting out your sprouts?"
"Have you any fault to findY he re-
Piled
"Why, no, but 1t seems to me-
'Never mind how it seems to you.
If you have any stockings to darn, now
is the time to do it."
The work was now completed, but
Mr.. Bowser fingered to feast his eyes
on that bed. He had done it all him
self. He had done 1t without any of
Mrs. Bowser's advice. without doubt
1t was the only onion bed on the block.
There might be others, but they were
far, far away. Even at that they were
onion beds without picturesqueness or
bulges. He was called to dinner, but
he could not tear himself away. He
was called again, but still, like Mary's
little lamb, he fingered near. By a
heroic effort, however, he finally tore
himself away and entered the house
and made ready for the meal.

Destroyed by Dogs.
Just then was heard the barking and
growing of dogs on the street outside.
1t seemed to be a fight between half
dozen CANNES, but the noise presently
receded. Then it was heard again at
the back of the house, but only by the
cook, and she took no particular note
of it for a minute. Then as she went
to the open kitchen door she uttered
a yell
"What in thunder ails that woman
now?" demanded Mr. Bowser as he
half rose up.
"She must have burned her hand"
The words were still on Mrs. Bow
ser's lips when the cook burst into the
dining room with the cry of:
"Oh, sir, dogs, dogs, dogs"
"Where? What? What dogsT
The terrified woman pointed to the
back yard and could make no reply.
Mr.. Bowser ran out to see for him
self. and he saw. There were seven
Or eight dogs fighting on his onion bed.

Mother love, which, as Tennyson
says, runs through all the world. is
limitless.
1t is as spontaneous, as exhaustless
as the love of God.
An exchange tells the story Of an
Indian mother down on the Texas
coast who, with her children, faced
starvation. The mother searched ev-
erywhere along the shore for food
Finally she could walk no more.
Then this poor mother cut a strip of
flesh from her own body, which she
used as a bait to tempt the crabs!
And thus she fed her babes until help
came to her.
Mother love demanded the pound of
there would have been no Sinking had
the flesh been taken nearest the moth
er's heart.
Motherhood pays its debts to the last
farthing.
Not long ago the newspapers told the
story of how Mrs. Ella Macarthur jour
neyed on foot 1000 miles, drawing a
little express wagon, that she might
keep her children together and reach
some relatives in the north.
1t was the only way the mother
knew, and she gladly undertook the
Journey. 1t was a true heroic-only
one Of the many in the annals of moth
er love.
Love for her unborn child leads the
future mother down into the valley
and shadow Of death-willingly, cheer
fully, hopefully-and love leads her to
offer herself through all the years q
living sacrifice for that child
1t matters not whether the mother
be rich or poor.
Against the protest of her physicians
the daughter Of Queen Victoria i'm
pulsively kissed her child who was
dying Of diphtheria The mother died
because OF II, but she could not deny
the dying request Of her little one for
a kiss.
Mother love gives all.
For the love Of her Maynard boy
Mrs. Thaw poured out the devotion Of
a mothers heart and unstintedly gave
her money to save that boy from the
gallows
Mother love stops short only at
working miracles.

tted Adam that he could not be around

MEN AND MARRIAGE.
Marriage puts a man up against the
reality of life.
And makes or mars him.
II he takes up the burden Of family
life and carries 1t like a man" 1t puts
new power into his life.
Ever see an oriental woman carry a
great jar of water on her head? What
power and poise and grace In her
movements! The burden does it. 1t
makes her figure straight and her mo-
tons supple.
And so Of the family load.
He who takes up the support Of a
family finds that the doing Of it keeps
him straight and well poised.
Marriage has made a shy man self
reliant, a selfish man generous, an in
dolent man ambitious, self centered
, man self sacrificing.
Marriage is the acid test
1t puts responsibility on a mans
shoulders, and responsibility, rightly
assumed, develops character.
Here is man who, unmarried, is
content to live in comparative comfort
without much exertion. He takes life
easy. He may have gifts, but is with
out ambition. The man marries, and
1t begins to dawn on him that increas-
ing demands make larger income a
necessity.
The new demand is dynamic.
The man bestirs himself. He works
hard. He increases his income. And
in doing so he discovers new powers
in himself. Marriage has developed
him.
The dependence of a family upon
him wakes up every fiber in manly
man. He is made stronger In every
way. And
Aside from the financial require
ments, the trials and troubles of fam
lily life bring out in him traits of self |
denial and long suffering and devotion
little suspected.
Especially does the birth of children |
in his family draw out and give ex-
preston to all that is strongest and
best in a husband and father.
The bachelor is not so.
He is apt to live selfish life. He is
apt to be cold and cautious. He is apt
to be heart calloused by the hardening
and REFRESHING of what is best in his
nature.
Moral?
The moral Of these observations lies
Ia the appreciation Of them.
