The Countess MarianE, pale and rigid.

cries Of delight breaking from his lips,
a horrid spectacle that fascinated the
observers

Weston, the Walker.

Over forty years ago. when young
man Edward Weston walked from New
York City to Chicago and it was con-
sidered wonderful feat. To-day, al
though seventy one years old, he is
making another long walk, this time
from New York City to San Francisco
in 100 days. He is now about half way
and is doing eplendidly. He spent Sum
daysiB Topeka and walked the seventy
three miles Monday to Junction City,
and was in Salina Wednesday morning.
He walks about three miles an hour
but at times increases it to four. The
Weston stride is rather short with the
weight of body slightly forward which
makes the walk seem slightly stumb
ling and loose kneed but readily con-
ceded to be as easy and untiripg as
possible. He follows the railroad track
it being the most direct and walks in
the middle of the track. He feels con-
fident he will reach the coast on time.

Last Sunday, May 9th w0s
Mothers Day."

The idea of ''Mother's Day" was
conceived by Miss Anna Jarvis, of
Philadelphia.
1t contemplates an observance on the
second Sunday in May, in every part
OF the world, of the love and reverance
which all men and women owe to their
mothers. 1t is the one holiday the
whole world can observe as one nation.
A noble mother is the one diety the
whole world worships in unison, as
noble motherhood belongs to every
creed, CLINE, country and class. 1t can
give to the best and to the worst of US
one holy day in the year if we have no
other in our lives.
The white carnation is Mothers Day
flower. Everyone possible was asked
TO observe the day by wearing and
distributing white carnations. Its
whiteness stands for purity; its form,
beauty; its fragrance, love; its wide
field of growth, charity; its lasting
qualities, faithfulness-al a true moth
er's virtues,
The wearing of the white Mothers
Day flower made heart speak to heart
throughout the world. 1t lit the flame
of brotherhood in the heart of stranger
and foe, for in Mother Love all hearts
are fashioned alike -
