LOVE NOT ENOUGH.

Love cannot make mother a
good mother. 1t will make her
well intentioned. but it will not
give her the knowledge Of what
her children need. 1t will not
give her the ability to train her
children as they should be train
ed. The thing we need is to
arouse the mothers and induce
them to study their children, to
know them and not to bring
them up simply by chance. If
we can only arouse the mothers
to see that they can prevent
crime, that in their hands lies
the future of the world, we will
accomplish the greatest thing
attaina BILE. Mothers must be
taught that as they SOW so shall
their children reap. The mother
can inculcate in her children les
sons that never will be eradicat-
ed. She can make them good or
she can make them bad.-Mrs.
Frederick Scheff.

WORK AND THOUGHT.

We want one man to be al
ways thinking and another to
be always working, and we call
the one a gentleman and the
other an operative, whereas the
workman ought often to be
thinking and the thinker often
to be working, and both should
be gentlemen in the best sense.

BLESSED SLEEP.

Now blessings light on him
that first invented this same
sleep! 1t covers a man all over,
thoughts and all, like a cloak.
1t is meat for the hungry, drink
for the thirsty. heat for the cold
and cold for the hot. 1t is the
current coin that purchases all
the pleasures of the world cheap
and the balance that sets the
king and the shepherd, the fool
and the wise man even.-Miguel
de Cervantes.

True obedience neither pro-

1T is NOT DEATH.
They never fall who die
In "a great cause; the block may
soak their gore.
Their heads may sodden in the
sun. their limbs
Be strung to city gates and cas-
tie walls.
But still their spirits walk
abroad, though years
Elapse and others share as dark
a doom.
They but augment the deep and
swelling thoughts
That overpower all others and
conduct
The world at last to freedom.

Sheckard is not built according to

comes to judging ball to hairline

as his baseball record shows. Coupled
with his ability to swat safely when
