but as the subject had had little pre-

were passed. Mrs. Lee Monroe gave
1t as her opinion that too much time
was given to the study of higher math-
ematlcs and too little time to funda-
mental branches that would fit the

Mrs. Monroe told the women of an
artlcle she had seen, written by a Chi

knew nothing about various cuts of

buying. Too many women, he thought.

gested that the women of Topeka
should have an opportunity to learn
the art Of buying meat, and she
thought it might be a good plan to
ask Mr.. Wolff to allow them to witness
the cutting up of a beef animal The
women present were all satisfied that
they We're not ignorant of the meat

Does that suggest to you whose BIRTH
day it is today?
1t is unlikely that the United States will
ever celebrate Abraham Lncoln's birthday
as national holiday. But that does not
go entirely unobserved. Even if we do not
close our shops and schools we can do our
martyred president honor in some less for
mai way. And as 1 have been reading
the records of his life it has seemed to
me that we could do it in no better way
than by making the twelfth of February
a sort of Mothers day.
1t does not seem to me that 1 ever read
the plography Of a man who cared so
edged their debt to their moth aaano but

And 1t does not seem to me that any
other man 1 have ever read about had
such a deep interest in other people,
When he went to William Scott. the
sleeping sentinel and talked to him
about his fault and .pardoned him he did
not forget to ask about his mother
Then he asked me about mother, and
how she looked says Scott, in telling

and show it to him. He said how thank

lived, and how, If he was in my place he
would try to make her proud mother,
and never cause her sorrow tear"
A mothers plea for her son was almost
always irresistible to him. Again and
again he granted the older women who
came to plead for their sons favors he
did not give to younger and more attrac-
tive women.
Quite. often, because of his cares of
state. Abraham Lincoln did not have time
for dinner or supper, but when his atten-
ton was called to the fact that one
mother had lost five sons in the war he
had time to write the following letter
which, well known as it is, I am going
| to quote bodily because I love it so.
Dear Madam:-I have been shown in
the files of the war department state

holiday would make the twelfth of Feb
ruary a day on which they did special
honor to their mothers, in which they
