OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

I doubt IL sacrifices are generally APP

person who thoroughly understands
generous impulse or act. but the great
majority accepts them as a matter Of
course. Mind you. I am not advocating
a policy of selnshness. but I would adj
wise care I'm counting discomfort. The
son or daughter for whom a mother has
sacrificed herself never gives her the
respect for her own rights.
In a small city where she had made a
good living and accumulated something
for the future is living a mother who
lost all interest in life when prison doors
closed upon her only son. He was way
ward as a boy and worse as he grew
older. but his mother never expected the
habit of pilfering from her to lead him
into theft from others who saw no reason
for leniency Time and again she paid
for his misdeeds, tin her purse was empty
then came the theft which landed him
IN prison and broke her spirit so COM
pletely that she passively accepted the
fate OF a public charge. She would have
been better off In every way had she
left him TO pay the price but that would
not have been mother-lilSe. even though
she knew that the boy regarded her as
O weak fool whom he could bleed as long
as she had penny.

herself proper clothes TO keep a son or
daughter weu-dressed and free 10 enjoy

other day. a pleasure-loving woman
grudged the price Of a maids services
and installed her mother in the kitchen.
There the latter. who was able-bodied

while her daughter entertained guests
from morning TN night. A few intimate
friends knew Of the relationship between
the two women, but they were told that
mother preferred that kind Of a lie
The others knew nothing more than the
fact Of competent person IN the kitchen.
I know that this mother might have
been respected at least had she main
tanned some degree OF dignity Her daugh-
ter would probably have given her an
honored place IN the family had the elder
woman been willing 10 do her share and
no more. Dignity is bound 20 be respected

Bv 7. NJ. SULLIVAN.

Your enemies may malign, and
the poisoned tongue of SANDER may
tarnish your reputation. but you
only can harm your character.
Economy is a better safe deposit
than bank vaults.
Bad habits grow with but little
cultivation, whereas good ones re-
quire constant tillage.
Nature may extend the period Of
liquidation. but she never discounts
the bills we owe her.
Idleuess never causes the horn
Of plenty TO overflow.
Be slow to believe that which
would impeach the honor Of a
friend, but quick 10 refute false
accusations.
The arrows OF remorse never
pierce the mind conscious of the
purity and rectitude Of its own
thoughts.
Do not hearken TO the insidious
voice OF temptation. nor yield to
the siren Of evil advice.
Weak men shun responsibility,
but strong men seek It.
AS the ivy entwines the oak, so
do poverty and misery encompass

now IL is followed by that OF a blast Of
simple hot air 1t is the velocity that
gives the polishing power The articles
70 be treated are placed in a basket in
n centrifugal machine driven at a very
high speed. and heated air is blown from
pipe through the basket. a high polish
is thus produced very rapidly. Nickel

are made bright in a few minutes. Wet
metal fresh from the bath needs no
preliminary drying. for the current Of air
dries and polishes at the same moment.
It is only necessary to so pack the arti-
cles that the air reaches them on all
