A Letter to Mnther

Sunday is mothers day, and every man or boy away from home is ex- pected to write to his mother. There are some mothers with missing sons who will watch in vain for the post man. To them this letter is addressed. It is what their own boys would write. My Dear Mother:-
 When l was a little boy and was soiled by play or was hurt, I came to you, sure of the love that would ease my heart or the kiss that would cure my pain. Now the world has stained me. l am hurt in habit and in fame. and turn to you as sure of love and comfort as was the little boy who sob bed his troubles at your knee.
 l have not done the best with the life you gave me. I have done bad things. and good things too often I have neg lected but never, no matter what my temptation or my fault, have forgot ten your love and how much I owe to it.
 My silence must have pained you. I can see you in the old home waiting word of your absent boy, hoping against hope for his welfare, and sure In your perfect mother faith that your son must be brave and goo 1. The long, long waiting has hurt you and 1t hurts me, too. Do you think any man forgets his mother? It is not so. When he lets himself drop out of her life 1t is be- cause he knows that news of him will be even worse than the agony of wait ing. The pain 1t gives me to pain my mother is one of the things, and the bitterest one, that make up the price pay for my way of life.
 You must not take to yourself any

Ponders opened the door of Eatons office.

 That's ell right. Come In. Como right in," urged Eaton. Let mo mako you acquainted with MT. Smoother. MT. Smoother, shake hands with Mir Ponders. Ponders is my next-door neighbor here. He's always running in. One of those neighbors who Just men joined in his chuckle at this sally and shook hands as instructed.
 Well, I must be going. Mir. Eaton" said the visitor, folding some papers, placing them in a long, flat pocket book and snapping an elastic band around it. Glad to have met you, Mir. Ponders. See you again on my way back, MT. Eaton"
 Friend of yours 2" asked Ponders, with a glance at the door when 1t had closed. He narrowed his eyes with an expression of extreme shrewdness as, leaning back in his chair, he regarded Eaton.
 Well, not exactly. I never met him before. Chambers sent him in to see me. You know Chambers? This young fellows on his way to New York to see 8 bunch of capitalists about a scheme he's trying to get started. He can't say much about it until he sees them, but it's a good thing"
 Look here, Eaton, don't you let him get you into anything" Ponders lean- ed forward his elbows on the arms of his chair and his hands clasped in front of him, while he fixed Eaton with a keen eye.
 Why not? Know anything about him?"
 Never saw him or heard of him be- fore.r replied Ponders, impressively. But I don't like his face. I never was fooled in a mans face yet, and I tell you I-don't-iike his face" He end ed with an emphatic thump upon his knee.

A MEANS OF REPUTATION.

Municipal dishonesty is not always regarded in the same light as personal dishonesty, although it deserves to be, and where it is complete the conditions are so bad that there is no redress.
 In writing of municipal bonds the editor of the Springfield Republican called attention to rare example of repudiation of municipal obligations, as follows:
 Eastern investors in $20,000 of bonds of the town of Ulysses in Kan sas have just learned that the town has completed it's moving and that all that remans for them to close in up- on Is some bare prairie land worth about $S an acre. All the buildings formerly standing on it are now locat- ed just over the line in another town having been so hastily moved as to escape injunction proceedings that were being instituted by the bondhold- CTS. To the uninterested this is all very funny, though 1t is anything but that Some part, at least, of that town ought to be moving into jail in- stead of over the line"
 The men who prompted the move ment are surely criminal and might not by association be of any benefit to the other occupants of jail. There are men practicing selfish and dishon- orable methods in life who would de- moralize Jail in month.

WHY PEOPLE SLEEP IN MEETING

It has taken a French scientist to discover that people sleep in meet ing not because of the dullness of the sermon, but because of the close att teption paid to the sermon and the preacher which concentration produces self -hypnotism. As a correction of the dull sermon effect this may be re- ceived with favor by those who preach and those who are tried by the sleep ing habit; but it is more probable that overwork and under ventilation play a large part in making part of the sitters in the pews nod during Sunday services.
 Passing from cool, pure air into a close. warm room always has pro- duced state of drowsiness and all ways will whether it be the home or the church. The man who mods in church is not always an embarrass- ment to the pulpit for many time the nod has been interpreted as an approving and encouraging sign.
 Really, is there any reason why the sleepers should apologize or be apolo- gized for?

TOO HIGH A PLANE.

Cuba, through the trend of its pres ident and congress, is showing that 1t is confirmed in its native methods and does not take to the plans laid cut for 1t by General Magoon. The chance game seems to be the national game there, as baseball is here.
 Cuba does not propose to issue bonds for sixteen and half millions, and to make a permanent debt with a per- manent interest account, as does this and other nations. She prefers a great national lottery scheme for rais- ing revenue and the prospect Is that such scheme will be legailzed by law and will soon be in operation there to the disgust of Uncle Sam, through whose malls the Cubans will not be aI- lowed to do business.
 Laws fayoring cockhghting and bet ting are popular and liable to pass In fact Cuba appears to have learned nothing of value from the American occupation and government of the is- land and is bound back to the old demoralizing ways.
 The hope of Cuba is in the Ameri can settlers who go there to develop the island, which might become one of the richest island governments of the world.

COSTING TEN MILLIONS A DAY.

Congress does not move upon the tariff measure as if the cost of the revision to the country was as esti- mated, S1000o00O a day. It was at one time believed that the 3Oth of May would witness the passage of the bill. but concerning this at present, even our congressman are entertaining doubts.
 Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island de- livered himself in the senate last week of the following approvable sentiment:
 T am for protection for the prod ucts of every section of this country, north, south, east and west. I am particularly glad to see the senators from the south favoring protection for their section. I care not what you may call it, protection or encourage ment of industries. I want to do ev- erything can while here to make the south, like other sections of this country, blossom with prosperity"
 The American Economist regards this brief speech with favor and says:
 Such proclamation Is worth many millions of dollars to the industry, the labor and the business of the United States. Its value cannot be overesti- mated.
 Tt means return of confidence and certainty to men whose wage pay ments and purchases of raw materials amount to far more than $10,00O,00O a day
 Tt means larger credits at the hanks.
 Tt means better times for every body in every part of the country"

CIRCULATION
PROFESSIONAL MAYORS.

It has dawned upon certain class of cItizens of Boston that municipal government might be improved in that city by the privilege of selecting from the mayors of the state who have shown extraordinary ability for can- didates for mayors in the metropolis and regards 1t upon a par with the big corporations which call mana ger of great repute to its service re- gardless of his location, or of e su- perintendent of schools.
 The Ansonia Sentinel thinks that theoretically 1t might be as wise to go outside for a mayor as 1t is to go elsewhere for a school superintendent or for teachers Ansonia tried the ex- pertinent of going to another town for a road supervisor, with good results, and in other matters, also, the city not infrequently seeks outside talent. The city is not in position to hunt elsewhere for a mayor, even if it would; it is, however. in a position to profit from expert advice along mayoralty lines"
 Perhaps our contemporary has not noticed the liberties taken by the politicians in the selection of men for city positions. Often the majority of city fathers are not natives, frequent ly they have not lived in town a dozen years, and generally in all-round abil- ity they are inferior to men who have always dwelt in the place. Politics makes strange combinations as well as strange bedfellows. The average city government Is usually below the average business talent of the same number of men selected from business ranks. Why? The people some day may find 1t profitable to recognize and elect a professional mayor.
