TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Has Drawn Is
Not Without Some Points Of
Worthiness.

Miss Venus is a lovely girl; not
one time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not n word
has she uttered. Just think, she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless RACES. She
has to stand a bunch of CUFF from Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
once m back and grills the
heather layman. When some low.
brow Of brutal mien starts merrily to
panning and says her face is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning or hat he has a waitress
friend who jerks a coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on figger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sim
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes-
tai; 0, Venus is a winner. She's on
the job both day and night, she hears
man knock or flatter and women not
of classic mold get madden thar a
halter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no
hands fan her. She is a lesson in
herself-a fruit for daily picking. Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking.-G. S.. in

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Arc Only Different, No
Matter What Sentimental
Writers May Assert.

The popular" writer who bewails
what he to be the fact that
the "oldfashioned" mother is no more
Is liable to defeat his own purpose If
that be intoxicating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is a danger which even the
cumulative theory Of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother of the past, of course,
was different from the mother of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions of life then and now,
but since her daughter Is the mother
of the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and g~randmothers GER
tainly could not have vanished. 1t
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their receipts and examples and pass
ed on to say SO. And, of course, this
he comes very lear doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentimen-
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike. and
II they were it would simply be be-
cause of the present generation being
SO much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand
still.

The Shadow of Science,

1t is hard 10 believe hat a shadow
is probably the origin of all astrono-
mical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured it's shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the san and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
OF the year. 1t is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnonon is a lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
srace of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land of constant sun
shine a shadow was the . primitive
c~hronometer. 1t was also the prim-
tive foot rule.

8A Lesson for DIPLOMATS.

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in

"a the John Hay Memorial library at

Il was prudent as we'll. l remember,
IA an argument about a certain inter

warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.

he said that we might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents
THE little girl frowned.
Well she whispered, you needn't

a Deadly Error.

DR.. W. B. Cannon OF Harvard, dis.
cussing anti-viylsection literature at a
dinner in New York, said with a
smile:
This literature, in part at least. is
as fiagrantly as the medical
department conducted by a young col
lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam
pie reply in this department ran:

A poor old cast-doWn hobo started
to knock the paint off of a back door
the other morning, and when he ear
fully told the lady who appeared that
he had a sick wife at home and a
dozen hungry kids, she gave him a
couple of homemade biscuits. Daintily
the hobo handled them, and once
psore he glanced up wistfully.

In Memoriam

Miss Lora Wyman, daughter of the
late Jesse and Mary Il. (Conkey) Wy
man, died at the home of her brother,
Oscar Wyman in West Arlington May
26th.
Miss Wyman was born in Sandgate
September 10, 1885 where she still
resided in the house where she was
born with her mother, and sisters,
Mrs. George Bentley and family and
Miss L. May Wyman She was a
member of the NJ E. church and also
of the Epworth league with whose
young people she was a favorite as
was attested at her funeral by their
attendance, also by the abundance of
flowers. Two of them Robert McDur
fee and Harry Hayes, brought from
Troy beautiful wreath, gifts of love
and esteem from the Epworth League
Others also gave flowers and sym
pathy to the sorrowing ones who af-
ter doing all that love, time and mon
ey could devise after three weeks of
suffering by their loved one, resign
ed into the keeping of Saviour who
enables them to say as she did"God
knows best" While i'll she said, still
hoping to be spared Il have work
to do" And as God saw better than
human eyes can, perhaps He saw
that other hands might be streng
thened and that greater good would
come from the loss of this sister and
that taking her words for their mot
to, she being dead would yet speak
and thus a greater influence be
hrought into this Dlace through them
while they are hoping and waiting
for the reuniting. May God soften
their hearts, taking their hands and
leading all the sorrowing ones into
His peace. All their friends and the
writer sympathize with the mother
and the brother and sisters.
Be strong, my soul,
Thy loved ones go,
Within the veil.
Gods thine cen so;
Be strong.
