The Little Cherubs whispered:
Who comes TO be our guest
With dust upon his garments hem
And stains upon his hreast?"
Then spake the Eldest Angel.
Most lovely is the stain
The tears OF those he comforted
Who may not weep again"
The Little Cherbus whispered.
What strange new soul is be
Who cometh with a burden here
And bears u tendtfly?"
Then spake the Eldest ANGEL:

FOUR ENTER PLEAS
OF NOT GUILTY
Attorneys Appear for Packers
Indicted in New Jersey.

New York, March 12-Former State
Senator William e. Edwards appeared
before Judges Blair and Carey In the
special sessions court in Jersey City
and entered pleas of not guilty on
behalf of four Of the corporations
which were recently indicted by the
Hudson county grand jury as result
Of the investigation as to high prices
of food. The corporations were in
dicted for conspiracy In restraint OF
trade.
Senator Edwards said he appeared
on behalf of the National Packing
company, Morris & Co.. Swift & Co.
and Armour & Co. He reserved the
right to withdraw the plea and demur
to the indictment.
It was decided that inasmuch as II
would be almost impossible to hold q
corporation in any specific amount OF
bail no bond would be required from
the indicted meat concerns.
Prosecutor Garven said he could not
ask the court to fix a date for trial
- several OF the individuals and cor
porations indicted had not yet entered
pleas.

Fraudulent Insurance Games Worked
In Many Cities.

frduouIent insurance 6dmee worked
In Many Cities.
st. Paul, March 12.-John A. Harti-
gan, state insurance commissioner, has
secured possession of evidence which
leads him to believe that the fraud
ulent insurance game worked In this
city and Minneapolis is national in
scope. He bases this conclusion on
the fact that blanks used in applying
for the insurance, in the names of the
persons who have been used as the
dupes, are the same as those used in
certain cases In Chicago and other
cities.
Mr.. Hartigan has turned all the evi-
dence In his possession to T. J. Nc
Dermott, attorney for the Independent
Foresters, who will investigate for the
Foresters of the country.
1t is believed that the frauds have
been practiced in every state In the
Union, involving millions Of dollars OF
false insurance, little of which has,
however, been paid.

Hope to Bring About Settlement
Of Big Strike

Philadelphia, March 12--Another ef
fort to find some method by which
the struggle between the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company and the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees can be end
ed is to be made by the United Busi
ness Mems association. This body
represents thirty-two bodies of bust
ness organizations with $4,000 mem
bers.
It is expected that strong and rep
resentative committee will be appoint
ed to take steps to bring the two war
ring sides together. The meeting, II
was said, would take the ground that
the general public has some rights in
the present situation. A powerful de-
mand was planned to end the struggle
quickly.
Among the plans, which, 1t is said
will be presented at the peace meet
ing, will be an appeal to the big banks
and bankers of the city to bring about
settlement of the strike. 1t will be
suggested that the bankers alone have
the power to force speedy adjust
ment. The executive committee be
lieves that if the bankers consent to
act the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company will have no other alterna
tive than to agree to programme oi
Cancellation, as the company is large
borrower of money. and would natural

Mr.. Ballinger, according to Mr.. Da-

that the lands SO withdrawn should be

clared that the withdrawal had been
in direct violation of law and could
not be sustained No written orders,
however, were ever issued

the latter had made these restora

century appears a picture of a man
wearing a helmet, to which is fastened
a leather tub 1oated on the surface

WORK OF THE
MOTHERS CLUB.
*%+@~44%@@4* 4%**%****@*
BY W. T. DUMAS.

Last September Mothers Club was
organized in Marietta-the first, so far
as I know, in the history Of the town.
Mrs. l.. B. Robson was elected presi-
dent and Mrs. D. G. Cole secretary.
There were some fifteen or twenty
charter members in all These devot-
ed women-devoted to the interests OF
their own children and those OF the
communicative met frem time to
time and discussed social needs and
matters pertaining to the welfare of the
public schools.
They have not contented themselves,
however with discussions merely.
They have done things of practical and
permanent value. Among these may
mention the paying of the tuition OF
number of nonresident children so as
to give them the benefit of our public
schools; the furnishing of books and
clothing to INDECENT children within
the city limits who were unable to at
tend school on account of the lack of
these necessities. They have set out
on the school grounds twelve beautiful
young naples which will furnish shade
to children now in school and to MANY
yet unborn. At present they are hay
ing the sloping, rough, eroded play
ground on the side nearest Atlanta
street torn up by great plows and sod
ded with bermuda.
These are some of the things they
have accomplished, although the or
ganization is not yet one year old and
their number mere handful. They
will do more along various lines. They
should be encouraged in the work by
every one in the community, especial
ly by the mothers. The best encour-
agement that can be given them is the
interest and the presence of other moth
ers. Why should there be only fifteen
or twenty women in the club? Do only
fifteen or twenty mothers in Marietta
care for these things? Do they think
club whose object is to promote the
welfare of the children of the town not
worth while? How does it compare
in value with those clubs whose only
object is amusement? Will not the
ladies of Marietta-one hundred of
them, at least-cast in their lot with
these philanthropic, thinking women?
AS to what may be accomplished by
a concerted effort on the part of moth
ers everywhere, quote from a recent
issue of an educational journal:
mothers organized in every ma
ton to study the physical, mental
and moral growth of children, to
study food values, sanitation and
good home-making, to study COM
munity conditions, affecting chill
dren, with the purpose of making
them wholesome and helpful, is
the fundamental step that will ele-
vate the standards of marriage,
parenthood and home life, and
raise the physical and moral tone
of the race"
