The Herald's
Daily Short Story
The Ambition OF a Mother

Dahlhoff was silent.
Mother and I had TO work hard
while 1 was a boy. / do not know
how we managed, but we did all the
same And we never had to return to
the poorhouse. Sometimes mother was
afraid of it and then 1 would say: No
mother. Just wait Some. day I will
be the mayor of Hyborg."
Mayor OF Hyborg,' Dahlhoff re-
peated.
Yes, of course just said it for fun,
but some how mother came to believe
it 1t seemed to her as if that alone
would wipe of the stain of the poor
house"
Il understand"
We'll, the time came when mother
could work no longer, and 1 started
this little store. 1 have been quite
successful and saved up a little money.
Sometimes 1 wanted to spend little
on mother, but she always said 1 must
keep the money to become mayor. She
cannot give up the thought and will die
happy only if 1 am elected. That is
why 1 want to become mayor. She has
been the best mother in the world to
me and it is my duty to make her
happy if 1 can. 1 should not like you
to repeat what / have told you, but I
wanted you to understand why 1 can
not withdraw"
Il understand" said Dahlhoff, may
the better man win"
mo. May 1 win said Fugl dole
fully. If it is a question of the better
man, am afraid 1 will lose
Gentlemen" said the retiring may
or, I'VE have met today for a trial cleo
tion of my successor. Has anyone a
candidate TO suggest.
The names of Fugl and Dahlhoff were
proposed and seconded. but Dahlhof
stood up and said: i thank you very
much, gentlemen, for proposing me for
the honorable office, but 1 must refuse
and in doing so 1 want TO endorse the
nomination of Mr.. Fugl."
The words created a sensation, but
the result was the unanimous nominal
ton of Fugl.
When the final election day came,
there was another surprise in the coun-
ell.
Gentlemen" said Fugl. before you
begin voting I want TO say that 1 re-
greet 1 cannot accept the honor for
several reasons, some of which you may
guess. I propose Mr.. Dahlhoff and
hope he will accapt.''
Dahlhoff did and was elected unani-
mously. When he had made his speech
Of thanks he took Fugl aside and said:
But your mother, Fugl?"
1T is all right, Dahlhoff. You treate
me like a gentleman. and 1 am glad
have been able Il act as I did. am
not the least sorry, because 1 am not
mayor now"
But your mother?'
Il found a way She would have
been proud to see me made mayor but
well. she is woman-and she is
still prouder to think that her boy,
born in Hyborg poorhouse. refused the
office of mayor OF Hyborg."

. o the devotees of the oldest game

" o the devotees of the oldest game
in the world, and the only one
which is played in every civilized
nation, the invention of wireless teleg-
raphy is a boon to mankind largely be-
cause it furnishes another means of
carrying on chess tournaments at sea
as well as on land and on opposite sides
OF the ocean. 1t was only a few days
ago that the press associations of the
world announced a chess game which
was played on two ocean liners cross
ing in opposite directions.
This use of the wireless is not sur
prise to those familiar with the history
of the most remarkable and scientific
game ever Conceived by man, for every
invention of a new means for rapid
transference of information between
distant points has been utilized by the
chess player. Matches are said to have
been played by correspondence between
Frederick the Great of Germany and
Noltaire, when a swift courier service
between Potsdam and Paris was in
augurated to carry the news of the
next move" With the Improvement in
post roads. contests between the cham
pions Of Edinburgh and London were
inaugurated as early as 1926 and the
first chess game by telegraph was play
ed between players in Washington and
Baltimore in 1914, in the very infancy
of the Morse telegraph. Cable matches
between the United States and England
came with the laying of the first cable
and these continue to the present day.

Chess By Cable and Wireless.
The practicability of chess by cable,
telegraph and wireless is due largely to
the great Syrian player, Stamina, of
A1eppo, who invented the present sys-
tenn of notation. From this region of
the world we are indebted also for our
problems in chess as Mutasim Billan,
son Of Haroun-al-Raschid of Arabian
Nights fame, was the man who first
gave the world its ''chestnuts' to crack.

German ruler learned the secret he
threw the contrivance in the attic of
his Potsdam castle where it remained
until Napoleon came to Berlin in 1906
Then an expert mechanic refitted ii and
the emperor of the French was defeated

After this the autonaton was taken

Paul Murphy the Greatest.
Paul Murphy, an American born in
New Orleans in 1887, is generally re-
garded as the greatest chess genius the
world has ever seen He defeated the
greatest masters of America and then
made a triumphal tour of all the chess

IN chess history are Philidor, who is re-

schemes Of the greatest chess minds:
Ruy Lopez, the player who introduced
into the game the casting the king"

argued that the moves made by players
are their property and they should not

Five Thousand Babies Starving.

Five thousand babies starving. This
is the report of the citizens strike COM

pleted a thorough investigation of the
conditions in the families Of the strik-

This is the penalty of a labor war.
Can such a thing be possible in a
Christian country?
When We read of the many, luxurious
fetes being held over the country. the
carnivals. the lavish entertainments, the

that these helpless families become So

beyond the pale Of human sympathy.
Such people must live in Chicago. If
they can permit such a state of affairs
to go unrelieved.
Last week day was observed by ma
tional proclamation 1t was day OF
thanksgiving. What had the mothers OF
these little ones TO be thankful for?
Could they look into the pinched
faces, the sinking eyes, the colorless
cheeks, hear the plaintive wall for food
and feel in their hearts that there is
above a just God, who looks after the
helpless; a Christ who said. Suffer lit
tie children to come unto me?"
Is this not one reason why religion is
losing it's hold? Would it not be better
if our great ecclesiastical organizations
did just a little more missionary work
at home, instead of trying to baptize
Chinese, Japanese and Africans, TO
make Christians of them?
