WE MOUNTAINEERING MOTHER.

young and tagging footsteps To the little
red schoolhouse wherein he might be
taught enough so that mother would
dare, after a time, to turn him loose in
the world without being scared to death
every day of her life for fear some calf
or other marauding and dangerous an
imal should come along and simply eat
him up because he looked like its
natural food.
/ have. under the circumstances above
noted, sometimes observed on mothers
face an expression which, translated by
one with a good eye for TRANSACTIONS,
might be construed to mean. well, for
the love of mercy, why won't they let a
person alone? 1 seem to feel as if they
seemed to think that I am not their
mother at all, but merely an infant in
arms and born lacking at that
And. moreover. I have been led to
suspect by means of certain remarks
dropped by mother from time to time
that the reason she is not setting these
children down, and setting them down
hard, is that she has come to have
sense enough to know that these things
are of no real Importance and one would
just as well let the young people have
their own way. 1t doesn't amount to
anything, anyhow.
Honestly. II seems a little queer TO me
that just because mother has been the
wife of father for forty years or so, has
had seven children whom she has reared
to useful citizenship, or as near it as
their general lack of sense would per-
NIT, and has for considerable period
been known as the leading light of the
local woman's club, the president OF
the ladies' aid society of her church. the
person who can be depended upon to get
the flowers for Easter when the inven-
tive faculties of every younger woman
in the congregation have come an awful
cropper; when she has for years been
household administrative not to be
excelled, though, of course, sometimes
equaled. In four counties or an entire
senatorial district: when she sandwiches
her Browning with her Bible and holds
up the work of the home missionary So
ciety with her original investigations
into the hidden meanings in the liter
airy paradoxes put forth by George Ber
nard Shawl say it seems a little queer
to me that she is. therefore. to be con-
sidered by juvenile generation to have
no sense at ALL
What We really need in our treatment
of mother. 1t seems to me. is less con-
descending consideration and trife
more polite manners.
Mother has been for many years a
person of Importance in her family
most likely. She has, il she amounts to
resort to a riotous household. If, because
of these years Of experience, she has be-
come a little weary. a bit willing to let
the reins drop from her hands for
while, or to hold them a trife Iooser
than usual, this Is no particular reason
for daughter to reach up and grab the
reins. give mother a shove out of the
drivers seat, whisk a whip over the
back Of the astonished household Dob
bin, and drive off on road that her par
ent never in all her life wanted to travel
by.
She would like, IL l may be permitted

ner, but when daughter undertakes
10 be a parent to a person IL becomes
perhaps d trife aggravating.
There is no doubt that the tendency
to take perfect and motherly care OF
ones mother had it's inception in a noble
motive, and it is equally certain that 1t
has met with sufficient encouragement
"a cause il to consider itself to be greatly
encouraged.
In its initial stages. waile tone OF
reverence and respect toward one eld-
ers had not as yet been drowned entire
ly by a loud shout for young blood in
business, the tendency showed few. il
any of the features which today render
il an amazement and, in fact, an amuse-
ment to new arrivals in this broad land
OF liberty from foreign lands, where the
original tone OF reverence is still in daily
use.
But among US years and years of
showing mother aside and letting her
do the dishes, of mother willingly step
ping aside and without remonstrance
doing the dishes, and of daughter being
reproved in our popular fireside pubiica-
mother do the dishes have led to the
curious assumption on the part OF the
public younger than mother That she
really doesn't know enough to do the
dishes anyway, poor thing, ana must
therefore be protected from the shocking
impositions likely to be practiced upon
her ignorance.
Who has not in her walks abroad be-
held a large and bewildered mother, with
an anxious expression of her eye. going
through the amazing experience of hav-
ing her life and the present shopping
expedition mapped out for her by daugh-
ter. who kindly pats her on the back
in condescending encouragement and de-
clares TO the parent who Is responsible
for her being, who guided her infant
steps for many and many year, and
with a spoon FED warm oread ana MIX
into her out-reachiug baby mouth. that
mother is doing very well indeed con-
sidering her ineXperience. but that she
mustn't undertake too much: and that
as for independent thought and strong
personal opinions and emphatic decisions,
she must depend for these upon
daughter because daughter is much
better fitted to decide for her than she
can possibly be to decide for herself.
Who has not noted a son saying to
mother. Now. mother, / know best about

and. besides that you are growing old,
and it is not to be expected that you
can know what you want or what is
really best for you SD well as do. You

TWO AVIATORS KILLED
 IN FRENCH MANEUVERS
One Army Officer Burned to
 Death In Air.

Two of the eight French army ofn- cers who left the town of Buc in aeroplal- ss for the maneuvers of the Seventh army corps, near Chalons sur Marne. have been killed.
 Lieutenant Jacques de Grailly was burned to death In his machine. which caught In midair.
 The other officer. Captain de Canine. was crushed to death under his heavy 1 motor after a fall with his machine from a great height
 From Nangis, where the accident to Captain de Canine occurred, comes the story that the right wing of his monoplane became detached from some unknown reason and the machine, which weighed 1,2OO pounds, plunged downward from height of about 600 feet. It landed in a ditch. Farmers found De Canine dead. The machine had crashed down with such violence that the aviator's head had been driven into the ground and crushed.
 The disaster to Lieutenant de Grailly. who was an officer of the Eighth cui- rassiers, was caused by the explosion of the fuel tank, the burning fluid be- ing scattered all over the machine. The aeroplane fell with its pilot at 'Rigny la Nonneuse, about twenty-five miles from Troyes, and was destroyed. | Captain de Canine ascended from the aerodrome at Buc with the inten- tion of making a long distance flight. He had taken hundreds of excursions in the air, and was regarded as one of the best airmen of the army. .sV,U"
