INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She ls Ever
Model Of Behavior to the
Children.

II is hard for young mother, who
has not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She Is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, so are her sons
and daughters. II a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er. who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and does not consider 1t nee
essary to be one woman In the draw
ing room and an entirely different per-
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits Of. speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great. rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them kind word and a pleasant
smile. For true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world Of tomorrow.

BY DONALD ALLEN
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press

On entering the village postofilce
that afternoon Miss Kitty Havens be-
held stranger. She knew 1t was a
stranger because he didn't look bit
like Deacon Thompson or Elder Steb-
bins. She judged his age to be twen-
ty-five. She judged he was fiye-feet'
something tall. She was going to
Judge whether he was good looking or
not when he turned his back TO her
and walked out.
AN i'll bred mani" said Miss Kitty
to herself
The next thing was a conversation
between two small boys. They spoke
OF the ice going out of the river and
one OF them asserted that the suck
ers were running Ito beat the band"
Any one could catch barrel of them
In half an hour. Miss Kitty decided
to go fishing the very next afternoon.
Down by the old sawmill was the
place. and she wouldn't have to take
any boy with her to bait her hook.
Miss Kitty Havens was an orphan
who had been brought up" by her
Uncle Elijah and Aunt Mary. Nine
teen years old, fair looking, and most
of the villagers would look after her
as she walked along the streets and
cay something about somebody being
"smarter'n whip" That was the
highest Of praise. They couldn't have
got off anything better after thinking
over it for a week.
Uncle Lille, the suckers are run
ning," announced the girl when she
reached home.
Well, let em run was the quaint
reply.
But I'm going fishing tomorrow.
We'll. don't fall in and get
drownded.'

Managing a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! II is an art SO subtle, so elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments of 1t. Sisters mine, let
us reason together. says Woman's
Life. In every human being there Is
"a spark of the divine; It is yours to
fan that spark into fiame--that is
managing a man-it is to get the very
best out OF him there Is to have, and
not two women in ten can do il.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see TO II that We are
worthy OF 1t. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost OF their own divinity. There is
room for more than one unselfish per-
son in family.

There's only one good place at the

Uncle Lie hunted up pole and line
and dug bait. and next afternoon at
two o'clock Miss Kitty was at the

They are thicker than feas down
there, and you orter see that fellow

What fellow" was asked.
why, the feller who's stoppin' al
the tavern. He's got the best place
and he's hangin' right to II like a
hog!'
SO the stranger was there, was he?
And he's got the best place and was
sticking to it? Well. he would get a

course, bus there are other ways OF
Earring a man. a fixed look and a
toss of the head has done 1t times out
OF mind.
Yes: he was there. lie sat on the
beam. and he was using a patent pole
and reel. That alone will provoke ire
in any villagers breast. The way to
haul I'D a fish is to haul him, instead
of turning the handle OF a coffee mill
for fifteen minutes.
Miss Kitty walked right up TO the
stranger. He didn't even turn his

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II az
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion OF the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with
great International Exposition IN
which all the nations OF the world
may participate: and the question OF
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at it's ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor OF hold
ing tRis Exposition, and both cities
have Sguaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
TO finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy OF the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be great ed
ucational movement. It's success as
such. however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
tion who can secure its educational
advantages, this In turn, depends up
on its location. as the time in travel
Ing 70 and from the Exposition, and
the Cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans IS 500 miles from the
center of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius OF 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
SeP Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius of / 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,o00,000
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average OF 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 40 OF our
principal cities with combined
population of 10000, 900. Averaging
800 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with COM
bined population OF Just 100000.
The average distance Of all these
