Dayse Mayme Honors Mother
(Atchison Glohe)


(Atchison Globe)
Saturday was Mothers day
and there are few who are so
busy they didn't observe it.
But Daysey Wayne Appleton
was not in that number; NO,
not she! Daysey Mayme arose
early, and putting on her best
clothes, ate a breakfast that
mother had prepared, and then
leaving the dishes for mother
to do walked to,the greenhouse,
where she invested in a dozen
snow white carnations. "some
may wear only one" said Day.

ers can't be honored too highly
and will wear a dczen." Dsysey
Wayne paraded the streets
till noon, when she went home.
ate a dinner mother had pre-
pared, grumbling because it
didn't suit her. and then after
telling mother how to iron her
shirtwaists, went off to take a
nap, leaving mother TO wash
the dishes. Daysey Mayme
felt guilty after awakening.
She had slept two full hours of
a day that should have been
spent in honoring mother. She
got up hurriedly and dressed
and left the house again, wear
ing her dozen snow white car
nations, and to every friend on
whom she called that afternoon
she told how sweet, how up
lifting and how noble it was to
set aside a Mothers day, and
how she intended to observe it
as long as she lived. Daysey
Wayne was invited out to sup
per, and when she got home at
10 that night mother was still
ironing shirtwaists. "Dear
mother is Slow" said Daysey
Mayme to herself in her mirror
"but she is a good woman, and
| am glad l honored her all
day." Then she went to bed,
satisfied that one good days
work was done.

should lend his church for the purpose
of giving the clergy of the district a
