this week in small way. The Repub-

John Sharpe Williams came to the res

to save this loyal fold darkey for sem
timenta1 reasons; for his devotion and
loyalty to his old master" and threw
in some beautiful stuff about the IN
worthiness of a man bereft of the
spirit of loyalty and devotion. That
as all the senate wanted; there was
no real desire to fire the superannn-

merely wanted the Democrats to go on
record as favoring the retention of
these men. The trick worked. Next
day. the Republicans came in with
recommendation that new position of
assistant sergeant at arms De created
and it was created and a Republican
favorite placed in the job; there was mo
complaint from the Democrats; some
more minor employes-men who hao

superannuated ones had they been
dropped-were then appointed to new
positions-official feeders of squirrels

real meaning and value of love
Especially in the treatment of thos,
who offer themselves most fully
and freely to us are we often I'M
generous and ungrateful. Is any
mother ever repaid for the years Of
patient devotion she gives to hel
childrenH She, of course, gives in
the right spirit, looking for no re-
ward, but we should receive in the
right spirit by giving generously
in return of our time, our thought,
our tenderness.
It's only mother; anything
will do for her." If the words
are not often actually expressed,
the thought is too often acted up
on. And yet, if we stop to think,
common decency tells US that only
the best is good enough for mother
that her devotion, which sur
passes all other love, is deserving
of the deepest respect and affection,
and that to forget her is the
blackest and basest crime that man
can commit. Mothers are love in
carnate, and because love is the
highest thing a man may know,
and the most precious gift a man
or woman may receive, he who
disregards or wounds it is the
lowest and most despicable of
created things.
Have we not all seen young girls
wounding the very soul of love by
aisregarding a mothers counsel
and by refusing to share the
burden of housekeeping with the
tired mother? Have we not known
young men who wrung the mothers
heart by rudeness or by dissipation
Or by neglect?
