MILDRED sHkpHERp--Grade VIII.
 Mothers are, as usually said, the best friends we have. l know one mother, who dearly loves her children, one of which Is usually away but still kept in her mothers heart. When boys go away they are not forgotten, but are re memhered forever. Mothers always stop to think of how they shall do this for one and lhs, for the other, but some. times children are forgetful and angry when that dear friend asks them to do little tasks which would take only one or two minutes 10 perform.
 If any of us should lose that dear friend we could never find another would sacraiice so many things to make our life happy and successfui As our own mothers do.
 Little do we think of how they work and.toil to make us happy and they would work harder if they knew we were not happy. do not think that l need to say any more because those that have mother know what they are and those who have not miss very precious and dear friend.

 do not think We could do without mothers. If there were no mothers we would have no one to get us out of treu- ble. No one to help us with our lessons. No one to helpus when We are hurt. No one to make our clothes. No one to tell us what 10 do. They are patient when We tease. They play with us when We are sick. They make us all sorts of good things for Us. They read to us when we are tired. They are kind. When we are hurt they help us. So 1 guess we couldn't get along very well without mothers. They also mend our clothes when we tear them. When we are cold they give us something To make us warm. They come our har in the morning. They make our candy and cake and all kind of things We like. They sharpen our pencils when they are broken. Some mothers have 10 work very hard for their living and are very brave. Some mothers have 10 fight for their children.

 Boys' Girls, Do you appreciate your mothers? Without mothers many boys and girls would keep late hours and form bad habits. Without mothers children would be failure in all things. If mother goes away we miss her and race and run where mother would not permit, if she knew. Suppose mother did find out, then what would happen? All you boys and girls know some chil- dren are inclined 10 he saucy to their mothers. This, of course, hurts moth CTS feelings and makes her sad.
 If mother left you, you would soon be a neglected child. The best of care comes from mother. She cooks, washes, mends our clothes, and teaches Us how to do our part in life.
 Now, boys and girls be good to mo- ther. Suppose mother scolds. Never mind, she knows what Is right and will teach you that and nothing else.

SANTA CLAUS IN
A RIOT

young riot was precipated on
Orondo avenue yesterday evening by
an announcement that Santa Claus
would hit the ground there some time
| during the afternoon AS soon as
school was out the children began
to gather in front of the GrottO and
in less than an hour the racket that
they made was heard all over town
Many persons thought fire was on
and some were trying to locate the
football game. Every boy and girl in
town was there, including quite a
number who left school 80 years ago
Traffic was demoralized and no eff
forts were made to keep the street
open. Bill Simmons was on the job
trying to keep a lane open between
the store and the street, but he
might as well have tried to hold back
the Columbia. Sometimes. over the
road and din Bills voice could be
heard: Get back, you little kids"
But the little kids just flowed like
water. Nothing but steam shovel
could have kept them back. Nearly
all the boys were fighting, one time
or another, and two little fellows,
with sensational tastes. undertook to
fight up in theair' standing on scat
fold one inch vide. A policeman did
some heroic work getting them down
and the fight was continued safely
on the ground. Finally Santa Clans
came and tried 20 drive his hnckskin
reindeer up to the store and do a
chimney act, but the children stamp
ed ed the reindeer off down Wenat-
chez avenue and Santa had to circle
the block several times to get them
under control. Candy was flying out
o. the sled all the time. and the riot
got so serious a man wasn't safe on
theS treet

THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE )
~~~~~~N~~/

The desire of knowledge is wholly
praiseworthy ambition. but it should
be gratifed by reflection as well as by
experiment. The first electric telegraph
In Persia was put in operation by the
English government, and I. S. Ander-
son was sent out as superintendent of
the line in the earlier years of its ser
vice. At that time the Persians knew
nothing of electricity. In his book,
MY Wanderings in Persia" Mr.. Ander-
son tells how one inquisitive citizen OF
that land gained his first impression OF
this wonderful force in nature. The
occasion offered was the bringing of an
invitation to a marriage feast at the
house of the local governor.
The old governor himself brought the
Invitation. He was accompanied by a
few of the principal villagers, whose
black eyes beamed with curiosity as
they wandered from one object to an
other in my cozy little bungalow An
English clock, my rifle, and a few pic
lures hanging on the mud walls were
themes of hushed conversation. A
large medicine chest and the tele-
graphic apparatus were, to their af-
frighted minds objects Of mystic
majesty
One, more courageous than the rest,
yet with apparent tlmidity, crossed the
room to where the apparatus stood, and
cautiously examined the screws and
brass work of the battery connections.
Emboldened by success, he ventured
with both hands to prosecute his search
after knowledge more mtnutely. For
some time he did not happen to touch
more than one terminal. At last, how
ever thinking probably that he had be-
come considerably advanced in the sci
ence of electricity, he grasped with both
hands the two screws from which flows
the electric current, A sudden yell
from the pursuer of knowledge and a
burst of laughter from me were the
next items of the Program.
The man, rather crestfallen, resumed
his seat, and In an awestricxen tone
told his companions of the numerous
stars which he had seen and of the ter
rible bite which he had received at the
moment when he touched those curious
bits of brass.
In vain did | endeavor to convince
them that the "blte" was nothing more
than the combined action Of two metals
immersed in 4 fluid. The one who was
4 victim 10 his own inquisitive mind
iirmly believes to this day that the bat
terry box is tenanted by eenil, in whom
he perSlans have great credulity.
