Over and under, and in and out,
The swift little needle flies;
For always between her and idleness
The mending basket lies;
And the patient hands, though weary,
Work lovingly on and ON
At tasks that never are nnished;
For mending is never done.
She takes mp the fathers stocking,
And skilfuliy knits In the heel,
And smooths the seam with tender touch.
That he may no roughness feel;
And her thoughts to her merry girihood
And her early wifehood 60,
And she smiles At the nrst pair OF stockings
She knit % long ago.
Then she speaks TO the little maiden
Learning to knit At her side,
And tells her about those stockings,
Uneven and shapeless and wide
~ had to ravel them out, my dear;
Don't be discouraged, but try,
And after while you'll learn to knit
As swift and even as IT,
She takes up q little white apron,
And thinks of the woful face
OF her darling when she came crying:
"oh, mamma! I've torn my lace"
So she mended the child's pet apron;
Then took up tiny shoe,
And fastened stitch that was broken,
And tied the ribbon Of blue.
The maiden has wearied Of working
And gone away to her play;
The sun in the west 10 sinking
At the close Of the quiet day,
Now the mothers hands are resting,
Still holding stocking Of red,
And her thoughts in the twilight shadow
To the far-on future have fed.
10! where will the little feet wander
Before they have time to restf
Where will the bright heads be pillowed
When the mothers loving breast
II under the Springs violets,
And under the Summer grass,
When over her fall the Autumn leaves,
| And the storms Of Winter passs''
And . prayer from her heart she utters:
"God bless them, my dear ones all!
o! may it be many, many years
Ere sorrow TO them befalli"
To her work from the mending basket
She turns with . heart at rest;
For she knows that to husband and childrel
She 10 always the FIRST and best.

Dear N. B. Friends:

Dear n. B. Friends:
This poem was saved by Aunt Sue
nearly thirty years ago, and now she has
sent it to rs, and it will not only awaken
many memories in the minds OF the older
nieces, but We hope it will help some Of
the mothers who ct the present time have
an intimate acquaintance with the mend
ing basket, to view its contents with .
little more patience.
I have personally known . few good
souls who seemed to love to mends but
they were not, and never had been, moth
ers. have heard Of mothers making lit
tie companies of 'smsnders" in . neigh
borhood, each taking some Of her own
mending along, and spending an hour or
two together while they worked, thus
having their minds more pleasantly occu-
pied during the mending process than as
though they each, singly and alone, viewed
each rent and hole, and were dismayed at
the SCENERY.
If one could get sight at all the mend
ing baskets in the country (mine included),
she or he might conclude that many .
woman's motto was: 'sNever too late to
mend"

We'll, to be frank it's nothing but an ad If you read the adver. tisenents in your paper finish this. If you don { you might just as well stop right here.
 We promised last week to, give you something different. We'll, here it is: We have NOT bad forty years of experience. That is one of the claims of superiority--in fact the strongest one that an op- ponent is making Now do you think that man who his been in business for forty years, and still has nothing good to say of that business more than to state the length of time he has devoted to it can boast of a very great degree of success?
 Instead of forty years of experi- ence' we offer as a point of superb ority faculty composed of eigth young men. only, one of whom who his seen even forty years of life; every one of whom is thoroughly prepared for his particular line of work, and every one of them chuck full of enthusiasm and love for his work Which is the most sensible claim?
 This is just the introductory. We are going to print series of articles. telling how an up-to-date commercial school is conducted in every department. Follow them. You will find them interesting, and in the meantime investigate, The San Bernardino Business College and Civil Service Institute. We give a complete course in Spanish with every scholarship, and our Spanish teacher spent eighteen years in Gautamanla.
