The Mother and Her Boy.

There is food for serious thought
and the formation of good resolutions
on the part of the young man who is
about to close his school days and
take up the burdens of business life
in the following tribute offered to
mother by William ]. Bryan in an ad
dress at commencement day exercises
at the Nebraska state university June
Is, 1905:
ASK the mother who holds in her
arms her boy, what her ideal is con-
corning him and she will tell you that
she desires that his heart may be 50
pure that it could be laid upon a pillow
and not leave a stain; that his am
bition may be so holy that it could be
whispered in an angels ear; and that
his life may be so clean that his
mother, his sister, his wife. his child
could read a record of it's every
thought and act without a blush. But
ask her if she will require this per.
lection in her son before she showers
her love upon him, and she will an
swer no. She will tell you that she
will make him as good as she can; that
she will follow his footsteps with 4
daily prayer; that in whatever land
he wanderS her blessing will abide
with him; and that when he dies she
will hope, hope, yet hope that the
world will be better that he has lived
The growing boy who is still under
the watchful care of mother can also
profit by bearing in mind these truth.
full words of Mr.. Bryan, while the man
who has long since left home can take
an invoice of his acts both public and
private and in striking balance can
soon determine whether or not he has
yet demonstrated that the world is
better because he has liNed. If a
blank is drawn, resolve TO put the bal
ance on the right side before it is too
late.
