Yale Wooden Mills.

On Monday of this week the Yale
Wooden Mills began running both day
and night. This change became neces
sary on account of the increase in
orders on hand for goods for next fall
and winter wear.
The regular force employed was IS
hands. About so or 60 are added and
are divided into two shifts, working
100 hours each week. The day crew
works days of 10 hours each and the
night crew nights of IL hours each.
Twelve hundred yards of double
width cloth are manufactured each
day of % hours or 700 yards per week.
Four miles of cloth every week.
TO show how we'll known and pOpu
lar our mill is, we might say that most
of the extra help engaged are exper-
fenced men, coming long distances,
representing the following states:-
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connect
cut, Georgia, Kentucky and Indiana.
some OF the men are married with
families, which will add to the pop
ulation of our city and increase the
trade of the merchants.
The Expositor would like to see
more institutions of this kind located
in our city.

A HEETY BABE.

A lot of fuss was made over the
birth of d princess to the royal house
of Holland.
News dispatches tell how the heralds
accompanied by trumpeters clad in the
ancient Dutch dress, made the rounds
Of the ancient city, halting in the prin-
cipal squares, and then, after flourish
of the trumpets, made this proclama-
ton:
Fellow Citizens-With great joy we
announce the news that her majesty
by the grace of God has been delivered
of princess Long live the queen.
Long live the Princess of Orange."
So anxious were the people over the
announced advent of an heir to the
few Hollanders slept that night.
Whereat some people in this country
smiled.
Why SO much anxiety over one child:
But
When one realizes that the birth OF
Prince Henry in 1901, would have
passed the throne at her death to a
German prince that is different.
The Germans understood the signi-
fcance Of the birth of this baby. AnG
when the representatives of the Ger
man emperor conveyed TO Queen Will
helmina the assurances of Germany S
well wishes over the birth of the child
it was purely formal and without any
heart in the words.
Germany is just as anxious for the
control Of the mouth of the river Rhine
as were we Americans in an early day
for the control of the mouth of the
Mississippi
The Germans note with envy now
the prosperous Dutch cities of Amster-
dam and Rotterdam fatten commercial
" on the enormous traffic originating
on the Rhine river
And they keenly realize that if Queen
Wilhelmina should die childless her
nearest kin on the fathers side would
be German prince. And he would be
king Of the Netherlands.
And
On their side the Dutch fear absorp-
tion by Germany. They are afraid Of
the heavy taxes and the military sery-
ice.
A literal prophecy faced by the Dutch
on the night of April 80. 1909, and its
fulfillment was that "a little child
shall lead them
This royal baby was doubtless just
as red and just as ugly as any other
newborn kid and cried as Justify.

MOTHERS DAY.
Mother is queen of the May.
In many places. especially in the
west, Mothers day. which is coming
to be national event, was observed
for the first time.
In some of the cities churches were
given over to the celebration of the
day. ReverentiaI tributes in the way
of sermons, addresses and exercises
were given to the mothers of America.
The emblematic flower OF tts- lay
is the white carnatioB.
Which is significant
Because the carnation was first cul-
$ivated as a flower 1000 years ago, the
very period wheD the emancipation of
woman was begun.
1t is fitting that one day should be
hood. What gracious history! From
the little mother of Columbus. who in
spired the voyages of the first Amer
dcan, down through the days of the
pilgrim mothers and the mothers of
the Revolution to the days of our own
mothers, courage and purity and faith
fulness have characterized the moth
-ers of Columbia.
However
Reference is not here made to those
American women who detract from
the dignity of womanhood by prefer
ring to rear lap dogs rather than chill
'adren, but to those real women, help
meets of American men and noble
mothers of American youth.
All hail to motherhood!
The Saviour of the world in the
crucial hour of his agony on the cross
turned from his suTerings and the mo-
znentous issues Of his great life mis-
sion to say to John, "Son, behold thy
grother. On that fateful day on Cal
vary was motherhood forever blessed
And Christian civilization does not
forget
Because civilization is beginning to
rsee and know that pure and strong
mothers are fundamental to all the
hopes for the advancement of the race
And yet
How ungracious and stupid are we
today in our maltreatment and neglect
of mothers. Oftentimes more atten-
ton is given to the care of brute moth
ers for breeding purposes than to
human mothers during their child bear
ing period
Is it not so?
We must change from such stupid
lty into appreciation of motherhood
not only for the sake of the mother
out for the child and the race.
The time is coming when the WON
an willing to become mother, whether
rich or poor, shall be honored above

If so, happy you.
Either you are trying to copy some

TAKE YOUR wIFE.s ADVICE.

II yeu contemplate some Important
step without having consulted your
wife-don't,
Her intuitive insight may be worth
more than your deliberate reasoning.
Some one has said:
When a man has toiled step by
step up a fight of stairs he will be
sure to find Il woman at the top. but
she will not be able to tell how she
got there :
A, man comes up to a conclusion by
the slow steps Of deliberate logic In
stinctively the woman reaches it by q
single bound.
Especially is the normal, average
woman quick to see the right or wrong
involved in a proposition. She jumps
over subtle distinctions and eVasive
phrasing and lands On the firm ground
of eternal righteousness.
Ethically every woman is seer.
And especially clear are the eyes of
a wife in any matter involving the
welfare or the good name of her fam
lily.
So, when in doubt. consult your wife.
A wife's Judgment is usually good
in matters of business. Especially is
she to be trusted where insight into
human nature is required. She will
give you valuable counsel in the Sc
lection of partner or an important
agent or representative.
Make your wife a close confidant in
all things. especially if she is a wom-
an of character and not one Of the
social butterflies whose chief desire is
to show herself.
Your wife's counsel may sometimes
seem to be wrong, but events are apt
to justify it.
There was Victoria Colona. a strong
character of history Her husband
was loyal friend of the great Charles
V. At one time the former was Of
fered the crown of Naples if he would
join the league against Charles.
Though strongly tempted. he asked his
Wife's advice, and she bade him spurn
the proposal.
Not every wife would have refused
to be queen.
But most wives would
Because the project meant base be
trayal and treachery. and the true
heart of woman is turned against
such baseness.
You should seek your wife's advice
because she is your best friend and a
competent and honest counselor
Make her a full partner
Take no important step of any sort
without a conference with her. She
will help to clear away difficulties and
may be able to suggest ways and
means that might not occur to you
And she will be glad to share your
confidence.

for youth new faces, new ideas, new

If. for instance, you cultivate only
the old memories, brooding over them
In the chimney corner. excluding the
memories of yesterday and last week.
your mind will form the trick of fol-
lowing the old channels, and you will
come to live on the old memories ex-

and dissolution.
If you withdraw yourself from the

only when you must. you will sooE

world alone for ever so short a time
and it will let you alone for good and
all.
Or
If you are inhospitable to new ideas
your attention to the things Of current
interest will soon grow caiioused. The
mind grows by what it feeds on.
Or
Cease from your earnest endeavors,
'retire from business" make no plans,
indulge no hopes of future accomplish
ments. What can you expect? You
will age rapidly. both in body and i'll

But if you keep a youthful soul by
means of new memories, faces. ideas,

in the background, but you will have
sympathy for the young and toler-
ance
You will not say, as so many elderly
persons are apt to say:
Well, people did things differently
when | was young. Manners and Gus
toms were better in the good old
days"
Rather you will ask yourself if you
really did do better in your day and
whether. after ALL the world is not
growing better.
Above all. if you would keep young
in spirit be careful your temper does
not grow intracta BILE. Do not become
irascible as you grow older The man
Hesitation Of temper in an elderly per-
son is not only very unbecoming, but it
is dangerous to him who INDUCES it.
You should have learned to control
your feelings. You should have learned
how to cultivate the virtues of pa

charity.
And. if SO. you will realize the truth
of the Scripture that while ''the outer
man decays, the inner man is renewed
