For
Mothers

We mothers get so tired, says Fran
ces Ingersoll In recent article.
We wonder if life is all to be like
this. if we must always worry over
Johnny's shoes, or fathers coat, or
the winters coal, or where the rent
money is coming from-and then the
wrinkles and toll worn hands and
care furrows hurt so much rse
when we are tired. Life seems so nctle
worth while when we look back upon
those things we meant to do and to
be and we think how far we have
failed in the realization. Life to us
seems such a sordid thing beside the
"other woman's."
But when twilight comes, when the
restless boyish feet are still, when
mischievous little hands are quiet,
when baby lips drowsily murmur
"dood night, muvver," as little arms
slip from about our neck-then, then
we know that the other woman whose
life is all ease and silken luxury
would give it all for just one such
twilight hour, would give all her
priceless jewels for-just once-to feel
encircling baby arms about her neck,
and we know we are rich beyond COM

MS Hud assies will grow, because

opportunities, than are ours.
And as we put away the little mud
dy shoes and fold up the mussed little
garments the care and worry and fret
are all forgot. and we lie down in
peace, thanking God for the humble
toll and sowing that will bear such
golden harvest on the by and by"

A Riot of Ink.

Canon Nicholl used to tell how on
one occasion he had visited the famous
house of the Thrales in that suburb
of London where Dr. johnson was at
home. johnson" said the canon in
recalling his visit. had occupied two
rooms, and these were left as he last
used them. The sight was an extraor-

over the floor and even on the walls.

Sophia is the mother of Love, Hope

popular in Germany except that the
