The love Of a mother for her child all the world
recognizes one OF the most beautiful things
earth.
But when It interferes with, dwarfs the love

And yet I think that is just what happens in

causes OF matrimonial unhappiness

he does for their mother but the mother who
cares more for her babies than she does for their

Erench Police Doos.

The Paris police dogs are constant
~ demonstrating their great use.
Their latest achievement is the cap
ture of an ex-convict who was leaving
a house in the Rue de la Chapelle. He
struck passing policeman, the blow
being so we'll aimed that the man fell.
Rising, he pursued the fugitive and
kept him in sight. Two other police
men, accompanied by their dog, saw
the fugitiVe-a fleet runner. The dog
was sent after the suspect, and over
took him. A desperate struggle fol
lowed, and the dog released his grip,
but only to take another more effect
lively. He seized the man by the
throat, threw him to the ground, and
kept him until the police took charge
OF the rseidiViste.

The Old Remedy.

Thus says Uncle Walt" Mason,
the poet philosopher, concerning the
"dawdlers -
"You may hear Jemima crying;
she is sobb;ng. she is signing. for her
life seems fiat and empty, and she
yearns for higher things: she would
win a reputation that would cover all
creation; and her mother from the
woodshed all the coal and kindling
brings. Little Willie is disguised,
for his golden dreams are busted, and
he finds the world he lives in is the
dreariest of bores; he is gazing from the
easement in a sort of self abasement,
while his daddy spades the garden
and is doing other chores This old
world is gay and festive, aud the
dreamers who grow FESTIVE, saying
it's cheap delusion, built to bother
and to irk. might forget their woe
and wailing, and reproaches unavail-,
ing. s.if they'd shed their outer gar
ments and get down to earnest work.
Dreams are idle, dreams are hazy and
the girl is simply lazy who goes
round the house yearning when she
ought to sweep the floor; and the lily
fingered Willie seems too blamed
absurd and silly, when, because,
he missed connections, he is sure the
worlds bore"

Prof. Thomas Jameson of Aber-

to orthodox science by insisting that
plants take their nitrogen from leaves
and not from roots. He does not him
self show how they do this, but de-
mands to know how it is that SO many
air plants and lichens that have little

then the botany books will have to be

DELIGHTS OF THE CITY LIFE
How Pleasant to Have Everything
Brought to Your Door at No In
convenience to You!

The rear door opened with a jerk
and closed with bang that shook the
house. Heavy footsteps resounded;
there was a crash and then more foot
steps, another bang and all was still.
The householder sighed YEARLY
and dozed off again. At first he
thought it must be a cyclone at
least but this was because he had
been asleep. He recognized it in
the light of awakened faculties as the
iceman.
After awhile he stretched his arms
above his head and consulted the
alarm clock that stood on the table
beside him. There was plenty Of
time, and he dozed OFF again
Another bang of the rear door, more
footsteps, another slam as Of drop
ping lid, more footsteps, another bang
and then stiffness. Now what? Oh,
yes, the milkman.
A ponderous knocking came on the
door and the householder arose in his
night clothes to see what manner of
trouble it might be, for his wife was
away and he was keeping bachelor
hall.
1t was the breadman. AS the house
holder dressed another knocking
brought the grocery's order man.
Before he had shaved a ring at
the doorbell indicated another com
mercial visitor. This one was the
laundry man.
Hurriedly the householder COM
pleted his toilet, but not quite soon
enough to escape a little girl selling
soap in order to get set of silver
plated teaspoons, a negro who had de-
cided the grass needed cutting and q
vegetable peddler who had strawber-
ries to sell at bargain rates.
Then the householder locked the
door and hurried to the car, deciding
to take all his meals down town and
maybe sleep at hotel.
He looked back and saw a disap-
pointed looking man coming out of
his gate carrying a package that sug-
gested sample books. And as he wait
ed for the car he saw the washerwom-
an with a basket of clothes go in, but
he did not return.-Galveston News.
