 The world looks with exceeding dis favor on those who neglect or abuse mothers or motherhood. The severest condemnation follows neglect of ob- servance of the second great law. The man who abuses or neglects his moth CT is summed by all men. and in the estimation of the decent part of the community sinks to the level of the brute.
 For every unkindness given. thoughtlessly or otherwise, to Moth er." we are made some time to feel the sting of remorse and regret. It may not be until that bitter hour when we stand gazing at still form; when we look into a face which has be- come immobile; at eyes closed and from which the love light has faded: at hands no longer busy, and at lips bereft of tife power to frame words of love or to place the kiss of affection on beloved brows.
 It may not come until standing be- side a mound beneath which rests all that is mortal of one who came to earth an angel in disguise that we we heldsso lightly when ours to claim. but now vanished, is beyond all price.

THE VALE OF AVOCA.

There is not in this wide world a val ley so sweet AS that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet. Oh, the last ray of feeling and life must depart Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart! Yet it was not that nature had shed OCT the scene Her purest of crystal and brightest of green; Twas not the soft magic of streamlet or hill Oh. no; it was something more ex- quisite still. Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near, Who made every dear scene of en- chantment more dear And who felt how the best charms of nature improve When we see them reflected from looks that we love. Sweet vale of Avoca, how calm could l rest In thy bosom of shade with the friends I love best, Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease And our hearts, like thy waters. be mingled in peace.

WELCOME, PoMME-DE-TERRE.
France Will Now Get Busy With the
 Humble Irish Potato.

Presto! The America Hibernian po- tato will take a sea voyage and be transformed into the pomme-de terre, says the New York World
 It will leave Nav York "spud" and arrive at Havre an apple of the earth
 This has been poor year for the po tato in France, and French provision dealers are looking anxiously toward America for their winter supply of po- tatOes. If there are more than enough potatoes to go round in this country France will offer prices that will coax the surplus to her table; it will pay Americans to export them.
 It would seem that the members of the American chamber of commerce in Paris have an eye as sharp for the main chance as their brethren who re- main on this side of the water For some of the Yankees in the French capital recently persuaded the govern ment to remove all restrictions against the importation of American potatoes
 Certainly the white potato that al- ways wears the same old jacket here will not know itself after it passes through French hands and kitchens. A Long Island potato will masquerade in Paris as a pOmme-de- terre Alsacienne or Algerienne or Paysonne
 A Long Islander would not recognize it if it should come to him Tn Paris masquerading as a pomme- de-terre PolOnaise. The French cook will take that entirely respectable American pO- tato, slice it raw, bake it with chopped onions. sour cream, cheese and bread crumbs, sprinkle grated cheese on top, and-lo! the potato loses its character as happens too often in Paris. and be- comes pomme-d -de-terre Polonaise.
 Doubtless many potatoes which were lowly and humble in America, that nev- CT raised their eyes from the ground. will become so puffed up in the pres ence of Parisian gOurmets that they will be metamOrphOsed into pommes- de-terre souffies. A chef will get hold of a modest, unassuming Ameri- can-born potato soon after it arrives in Paris and is still raw. He will carve it in slices an eighth of an inch thick. fry it slowly until cooked. then plunge it into boiling grease until it is abso- lutely swollen with pride.
 There are half a thousand other dis guises that potatoes raised in America will take on in the sister republic, but it is too sad to dwell further on the fate that awaits them far, far from their native land.

MOTHER

The biggest and most comprehensive word in the world is Mother" Have you ever stopped to think hiw big it is? Outside of Deity, 1t is the biggest. most potential name man ever utters. It cOmpasses the whole world and it symbolizes all beauty.
 Mother" Your mother, my mother. The mother of all men.
 From the beginning to the end of life Mother" shapes the destinies of the children of men. In cradle days our world. In childhood and youth still our world. In manhood and womanhood-God pity us if anything less.
 As rule. the happiest men and women have been those who have allowed their thoughts of success and happiness to center in their mothers. They have realized that to achieve success would make Mother" proud and happy, because it would show her the fruit of her training. because it would be a Justification of her whole some life-that is reaching the very summit of ambition.
 No man has ever been greater than the mother who bore him, no matter how he may think about the matter. Shakespeare gave us immortal verse.

but Mary Arden gave us Shakespeare. Abraham Lincoln gave us a new chapter in the great book of human rights, but Nancy Hanks gave us Abraham Lincoln.
 So it has been with all the men and women who have adorned the pages of human history Down under the aspirations of men, down beneath their accomplishments their holy de- sires and their righteous inclinatiOns is the fundamental good of a mother a mother who may have been Hitter ate, obscure, hard working and sin cere. but the source from whence some brilliant daughter or son drew the supply that made them shine in the world.
 To the honor of the human race be 1t said that very few men who have reached the hilltops of success have failed to place the roses and laurels of love and recognition the brows of those who gave them their all.
 When Moses brought the tablets down from the mountains, the first law read to the people was one with regard to worshiping Deity. The sec ond placed upon the children of men the obligation of parental devotion. Thus was parenthood placed second only to Divinity itself.

 The time will probably come when crimes will not occupy a front page position in the. newspapers of this country Publishers have featured shocking events, as they believed, in response to a popular demand but doubt has arisen as to the existence of such a demand. The Christian Science Monitor has done much to set publishers to thinking. The re- markable success of that journal which by the way does not obtrude the doc Urine of Christian Science upon its readers has been most remarkable. The Monitor prints no stories Of crime. illness or shocking disasters, or other incidents calculated to dis turb a proper mental attitude and yet it is a newspaper which is rap idly growing in favor outside the membership of the Church of Christ, Scientist, as well as within it.. At a late meeting of newspaper pub- fishers in Chicago, this subject was considered and there was manifested a country wide disposition to pander no longer to the morbid taste of read CTS or, rather to readers of morbid taste.

us to this realization of our need. We

who can convince men OF sin. The
natural heart is deceitful above

and there Is nothing in which the in

strange power Of exaggeratlng our

NO EXCUSE THIS TINE.

Weather conditions are altogether
favorable and there is no excuse for
the voters not going to their respec-
tive precincts today and registering.
There are for hours yet in which
TO register. as the polling places will
remain open until 9 o'clock tonight.
This is a duty We need scarcely
urge on all good citizens.
The quadrennial real estate assess
ment will be made next year, based on
the valuations returned by the spe-
cial commission. which has been
working with the block map for sew
eral months. The city administra-
ton. as Is well known, has publishes
a program OF public improvement
and economical use OF the city's
funds. TO accomplish which will re-
quire the cooperation of a general
council in sympathy with the aims of
the administration. The general
council elected in November will Ak
the tax rate for the year upon the
new real estate valuations. This
work is important and will require
the careful consideration of a bust
nesslike general council.
Another mayoralty election Is
coming a year hence, and this work
must be done without reference to
its effect on the political fortunes of
any OF those taking part in 1t. II a
general council is elected. whose
leaders are turning everything to ac-
count to discredit the present ad-
ministration and make possible the
election of one of their number
mayor, the taxpayers will suffer.
The citizens must look to this in
the election; but first they must reg
lister and this evening affords them
the last chance.
Even a sick man can get out a day
Nike this and perform so slight a duty
as asking for a registration certifi-
cate.
Remember. IL you don't register
today. you cant vote in November.

congress; which speaks something
for the party in power.
There ~ only one way. We. who
consider ourselves consumers, can
place ourselves on an equality with
the special interests. no matter what
party is in power. and that is by the
work of a commission OF experts en-
ployed by the government to acquire
all the data necessary for the proper
framing of a tariff. The editor Of the
State Journal may favor free trade
and we may favor Protective tariff
but II either of us approaches the act

ly, we are going TO be taken advant-
age of, or make fatal blunders in
our work. That IS too obvious for
even a politician to deny.

DR.. Torrey Talks About Personal Work.


vince them OF sin in any power OF
our own.
DR.. Torrey related numerous In
starces TO demonstrate how the Holy
Spirit works after men had failed TO
convict OF sin.
Notice" he said. "of which sin II
is the Holy Spirit eonvinces men
the sin OF unbelief in Jesus Christ.
'Of sin because they believe not In
me. said Jesus. The one thing that
the Eternal God demands OF men 4
that they believe on Him whom He
hath sent. Gohn vi. 80
I'm regard 10 the comparatively
minor moralities OF life. there Is a
wide difference among men; but the
thief who rejects Christ and the hon
est man who rejects Christ are alike
condemned at the great point OF what
they do with Gods Son. and this H.
the point that the Holy Spirit presses
home. The s'n OF unbelief II the
most dihicult sin OF all sins OF which
to convince men. The average un-
believer does not look upon his un-
belief az sin. Many an unbeliever
ooks upon his unbellef as mark OF
Intellectual superiority.
"But the Holy Spirit. not only con
victs Of s.n, He convicts in respect OF
Righteousness. The world at large
today claims to believe In the right
eousness OF Christ. but It does not
really believe in the righteousness Of
Christ because Il has no adequate
conception OF the righteousness OF
Christ. The righteousness which the
word attributes to Christ. is not the
righteousness which God attributes
10 CiriEt: but a poor human right
.eo-sness. perhaps, a little better than
our own.
THE Holy Spirit also convlcts the
world OF Judgment. There is great
need today that the world be con
WINGED OF judgment. Judgment is a
doctrine that has fallen to the back
ground. that has indeed. almost
sunken out OF sight. II is not popu-
lar today to speak about judgment,
or retribution. or hell"
Personal Work.
There Is one more thing ! wish &c
say before close. and that Is that
though II is the Holy Spirit who con-
victs men of sin. He does II through
US. That comes out In the first
verses I read. John 10: 7. s Never
theless | tell you the truth; Il Is ex-
pedient for you that I go away; for
II ! go not away. the Comforter will
not come to you: but II | depart,
VIII send Him unto you. And when
He Is come, He will reproye the
world OF sin, and of Righteousness.
and of Judgment" This tells us that
the Holy Spirit comes to the be-
lever and that when He comes to
the believer, He convlcts the world
through the believer OF sin.
As far as the Bible reveals. the
Holy Spirit has no way of getting at
unsaved men and women except
through the agency OF men and
women who are already saved. Read
the conversion in the Acts OF the
Apostles. Every one OF them was
through human instrumentality,
Take for example. the conversion OF
Saul of Tarsus II there was ever a
conversion, 1t was that
of Saul of Tarsus.
The glorfied Jesus appeared so
him on the road to Damascus but
nevertheless, Saul Of Tarsus was not
faved until a man was brought on
the scene of action. and though the

fession of Christ. Take the case OF
Cornelius. II there was ever a
