Fortune for Humor

Persons who are accustomed to snih at the earnings of artists will learn through the death of MT. Henry -Silkr of London and Punch, that the creator of comics that cause a passing laugh earns more than the "old masters '
 MT. Silver is believed to be the first funny man. to leave more than G1,00o,0o0 ts5, 0o0o). His closest friends had no idea he possessed such wealth.
 MT. Slver's first contribution to Punch appeared in 1S4s. and from 1857 to 1870 he was a member of the famous table. He left to the proprietors of Punch all his Punch drawings, bequeathed about G125,- 900 to various English charities, provided a life annuity of e500 for Ellen Brown, who "so faithfully nursed, my late dear wife. and has lately been in attendance on |me,f' and after making other provisions directed that the residue of his estate Is to be divided among individuals-Mr. Ar thur George Watson of Wadhurst, Sussex; Mir. Henry Alfred White of Tokenhouse Buildings, E., C., and Mir Walter George Guillenmard late of Harrow, each of whom will apparently receive, after tho duties have been paid, about f2OO,ooO
 The estate duty is 15 per cent and as the bequests are to people not related to the deceased, legacy duty will be levied on almost the whole estate at the maximum rate of 10 per cent. The state will thus receive in duties nearly G300, 600.

To Observe Mothers Day

There will hardly be a town or city In this countrys great expanse that will not observe Mothers Day today. The day will be celebrated by the singing of spe- cial hymns, by the holding of special ser vices and by the distribution of flowers in the Sunday schools and at the churches.
 Hosts of people will observe Mothers Day by wearing white carnation, sym bolizing purity, beauty and fragrance the attributes. of a true mother The wearing of the white carnation, those back of the Mothers Day movement say, will be flial evidence that the wearer loves to honor his mother living or her
 memory if dead.
 Governors of various states have 1se'
 aside today as Mothers Day, and in sev-
 eral cities the mayors have issued special proclamatlons indorsing the purpose and recommending the general celebration oi | the day. Tn South Dakota a proclama- ton has been issued urging all to poin in i the celebrations bE wearing a white flower.
 Tn his prneiamation last year Governor Vesey of South Dakota said: "The fitness or the observance of this day appeals to fa1l social, fraternal, civil, military and religious organizations of a mothers love. no less than to the one who has derived the elements of a noble character from the maternal care bestowed in childhood. Probaly never before was a movement inaugurated which in such a short time attained national recognition"
 i The National Purity Federation of Phil adelphia, which has prepared a program to be carried out in all churches and Sun day schools on Mothers Day, Is taking an | active part In the movement to have the day observed as a national holiday. The 1 Federation claims that Mothers Day af- lords opportunity for us as a nation to pay tribute to our countrywomen, who are pioneers, coonists and as "best citi- zens" In war and peace, rendered to their country noble and valiant service through their sufferings, privations and heroism
 After all the credit for starting this great movement must be given to woman The idea of Mothers Day" was first con- ceved by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel- phia, a young girl, who was desirous of lcommemorating her mothers death. Ii
 was not only the thought of laying some flowers on her mothers grave but it oc- lcurred to her that it would be beautiful tribute to all mothers-the living as wei as the dead-if their children on a SC, day would unite in the simple wearing oi a white flower, and thus make "Mothers Day" universal. This was but few year. ago.
 The newspapers caught up the idea, ant in two years it swept over not only all o
 North America. but was welcomed il other lands. The purpose of Mothers Day. as conceived by Miss Jarvis. is day in which all lands as one nation ma, unite in honor of mother. It is the plar of those interested in the movement tt make this years celebration of Mothers Day. not only a sentimental observance but, as far as possible, to clothe it witt the sanctity and dynamic power tha comes from concerted action.

 Another messenger shortly arrived with an enormous pair of overshoes. also filled with packages, while still another brought a raincoat with the pockets and sleeves filled with gifts, funny ones, ridiculous neckties, socks of all kinds and colors, pajamas, handkerchiefs, stickpins and collar buttons.
 The girl guests had. too, surprise in store for the men. Another peal at the bell admitted a girl flashily gowned, who insisted upon getting into the room. For minute her presence caused real con sternation until the chaperone unmasked the visitor who proved to be the younger sister of one of the girls. From her large bag she produced shower of advice to husbands got up by the girls of the party. There were also sealed envelopes for each of the men in which were found rhymed verses on the curse of being a bachelor. Altogether the affaii was a great success.
