a YOUNG man writes me letter
~ in which he asks me TO say
4 something to the lazy, selfish
girls who read novels on the parlOr
sofa while their mothers cook dinner
in the kitchen
This young man says that his HCther
is a frail delicate, little old woman
while his sister is a great. big. strong,
husky girl of IS; yet the girl leaves
the mother to do every bit OF house
work while she amuses herself. The
brother has pointed out in vain TO his
sister that it is her duty to help her
mother. He can't make any impression
by his words on her castiron selfish
ness; and so he asks for the assistance
of the press.
But what's the use Of wasting advice
on that sort Of girl, or that sort of
mother? Personally. I decline to shed
any tears over mothers whose children
are mean, and hateful, and inconsider-
ate to them, because. in every case. it is
absolutely the mothers fault. II
mother raises up a girl TO be a spoiled,
vain, lazy, selfish. little beast, she de-
serves to suffer from it. And she does.
1t Is Up to Every Mother.
1t is up to every mother to decide
just how her children shall treat her.
If from the time they are old enough
to understand anything at all. she ex-
acts respect and obedience, and defer
ence from them, and teaches them that
they must make some return to her for
all the love and care she has Civ
en- them. she will never have cause to
complain of undutiful children. Her
children will cherish her, and honor
her, and try to lift the burdens from
her old shoulders
On the other hand. if mother makes a
she must expect to be trampled on and
kicked about as is wont of doormats.
II she encourages selfishness and 1azi-
ness in her children. and makes them
feel that they have a right to the best
Of everything and to indulge them
selves in whatever they want. she has
no right to look for them to become
-abnegating angels. las you SOW,
so shall you reap is law that never
fails in the rearing of children.
The problem, however. of the daugh-
ter who spends her. time in manicuring
her finger nails while her mother gets
more callouses on her hands. at the
cook stove or the wash tub. is only too
common; and it is one of the most pa
thetic in life.
There are thousands OF homes, in
which girls never lift finger to help
their mothers. They hear mother get
ting up early. to prepare breakfast
for father and the boys. and they turn
over and take another snoOze. It never
even occurs to them to hustle out and
prepare the morning meal and let
por old mother lie abed and rest her
weary bones.

weeks they had rot spoken to one an

Duval was working in the offices OF
Grandiean & Co., and Burien was the
foreman Of the lumberyard- The latter
had worked his way up from the bot

heavily built fellow who despfsed Inc
The foreman's face flushed, he
clenched his big fists and stepped
closer.

Both turned towards the man who
calmly stepped between them.

His voice was threatening. Georges
felt Ill at ease. He was no coward
and did not want to run away, but
what chance did he have in fight
with a brute like Burien?
At dinner time Joseph Tarrant, who
lived close by, went home.
"Burien and young Duval were just

said.

but stopped short.
Take your choice between them,
and if you want to follow my advice,

The young girl looked at him dis
painfully.

"Duval is too little Of a man to suit

Duval and Burien did not meet dur
ing the afternoon. and the former grew
rather nervous as s o'clock approached.
The side gate, which was used very
little, was behind the big warehouse
and led into a quiet street. Jeanne
sometimes waited for her father there,
and Burien no doubt had thought Of
this and wanted to show off before the
girl.
The clock struck 8. Duval put away
his books and crossed the lumber yard.
Burien was waiting for him.

 CH|LD'S HOSPITAL Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night-Numerous
 Donations Offered

Another enthusiastic meeting was held last night at the parish hall of the Church of the Advent in the intes- est of the proposed children's charity hospital for Birmingham. Reports showed that the response of citizens interested had been even more cordial and generous than had been anticipated

Palmer was elected treasurer pro tenn and he will receive any contributions toward the project. His address is Protective Life Insurance company care postoffice box 324.
 A number of leading physicians were present last night to lend their en- couragement and indorsement to the movement. The meeting was presided over by the Rev. Raimunds de Ovies. Besides cash donations, one man has offered to furnish half of the bt1s with which to open the hospital.
 It is proposed to Aart fe> modest scale, getting far enough out so that the patients can have an abundance oi fresh air and sunshine. For this pur- pose house will probably be rented at the start and suggestions as to a suitable place will be gladly received by those in charge.
 It was decided last night to postpone the selection of the oSicNrs and board of governors for another week.

PROUTY MAKES
 MAIDEN SPEECH

Washington, April 20.-Offering an amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill which provides for placing on the free list manufactured articles to compen- sate the agricultural interests of the coun- try Representative Prouty of Iowa made his maiden speech in the House today in opposition to the proposed agreement as submitted by the ways and means com nittee.
 This treaty" said MT Prouty, mot only compels the farmer to sell his products in competition with Canada. but compels him to buy in a protracted market. That is unfair to the farmer. Representing, as I do, a farmer constituency, I should rather like to see it tried on somebody else first,
 Must all these experiments be tried on the farmer? l think it is time to try them on somebody eise.'
 MT. Prouty said there were some things in the proposed farmers free list bill of fered by the democrats for which he would vote, but there were some things in it which he must oppose.
 This bill," he continued, which they have designated as the farmers free list bill puts on the free list beef, veal, nut ton, lambs. pork and all kinds of meat This would throw the American farmer into direct competlt pn, not merely with Canada, but with Mexico, Argentina and other countries south of us, where every one knows animals are raised for less than half of the cost in the United States"
 MT. Prouty's amendment would include flour, packing products and many other manufactured articles.
