The other day. out in North Dakota,
young man was caught in the helm
Gus offense Of stealing n ride on a
freight train.
Taken into court by the railroad de-
tective that had captured him. he ex-
planned that he had to travel to anoth-
er town in the hope Of getting work
that he had no money TO buy a ticket,
and that he thought TO travel without
cost by slipping into a freight train.
There wasn't any doubt about his
not having the price Of "A ticket Search
failed to reveal on his person the color
of a single coin. Asked what he had
done with his money, he said that he
had sent it all to his mother.
And they laughed at his story.
Then this letter turned up, address,
ed to the young man who stood before
the bar Of justice:
My Dear Son:
Your letter with the $50 came like
a godsend to us. l have paid the rent
and now will not have to move. With
the balance I bought new dress for
Jennie, and am sending her to school.
God bless you, my son, for your kind
ness TO your mother.
Whereupon the judge promptly dis
missed the case
You can forgive a good deal to a
young man who is able to earn let
ter like that Certainly you could for
give him for stealing a ride TO a place
where he hoped to get work and earn
more money. There is a limit, Of
course, TO what you would forgive but
fortunately you are not asked, in this
case, 20 test that limit.
Maybe that young man is a bit care
less about his habits. II he hadn't
been he would probably have had
steady job and could have sent money
to his mother without leaving himself
pennlless. But, careless though he
might be about some things, he re-
membered his mother, and reached 10
the bottom Of his pocket to relieve her
distress.
There are boys. sad to say, who are
careless even about their mothers.
They are far away, and distance helps
them forget that their mothers are in
need. Others, too, forget that a moth
er's greatest need. far greater than her
need OF money, is that her boy shall
remember her and let her know that
he thinks of her and loves her. Many
a mother is waiting for a letter from
n boy who 81 wrapped up in himself
and his pleasures that he forgets TO
send IL. When she passes away. he
will remember. and his heart will be
sore with the knowledge that he could
have made her happy by writing to her
regularly. But now he forgets

that Notwithstanding Patrick Bronte's

a tender regard for every one who WIS

in one OF these letters that Charlotte

Getting a House Rent Free.

The Rotherhithe case Of houses
without owners recalls an interesting
instance within the personal knowl-
edge OF an old resident of Walworth.
For a quarter of century good
house was occupied there by family
who were never troubled by the rent
collector. They paid the rates and
kept their secret.
But 1t got out at last and they were
called on for payment of the rent
and all the arrears. This alarmed
them and they skipped by the light
of the moon" The disturber of their
peace then quietly took possession,
and he had no more right to the place
than had the victims Of his bluff

Prussians Oppose Cremation.

The lower house OF the prussian
Diete, after vigorous debate, recently
voted down resolution to permit
cremation in Prussia. The main argu-
ment against the measure was that
burial has an ancient christian tradi-
ton authorized by Christ and his
apostles Of the early church, and that
II cremation were introduced 4 serious
blow would be struck against the
christian doctrine Of the resurrection
Of the body. In favor OF cremation It
was urged that graveyards wore un-
hygienic and unaesthetic, and OPP
posed to modern conditions.
