IAUGHIN' ALONG.

Jes' laughin' along,
Through the heat of the day,
With a sigh for the wrong,
That | see on the way
But a smile for the true
And a song for the sweet,
And a glad howdy-do
For the friends that l meet.
Jes' laughin' along,
To the evening of rest,
Though I'm not very strong,
Still I'm doing my best,
An I'm bearin' my cares
without whinin' or frettin',
Givin' thanks in my prayers
For the joys that I'm gettin'.
Jes' laughin' along,
Findin' joy in the roses,
The Tilt of the song,
An the rest when day closes.
With sad hours for weepin',
An glad hours for play,
Contentedly keepin'
In step on the way.

DEFINITION OF LIFE.

Harper's Magazine for June con-
tanned the following little verse which
gives a definition of Life:
Life is an echo far away,
OF singing spheres and dreams un-
known,
We are the caverns, where delay
Fragments of specious voice and
tone.
Memory sits upon a throne
OF the shadowy gold of yesterday
Stringing the beads of shell and
bone
Life is an echo far away

An Aristocratic Bank.

All the clerks at Coutts' bank in Lon
don. where the king and members Of
the royal family have accounts, must
be clean shaven and wear frock coats
during banking hours. No bank in the
world has so many aristocratic Gus
toners as Coutts'. Practically every
member of the house of lords banks at
the famous house in the Strand, and
no other English bank has so many
foreign aristocrats on its books.

WOULD PENSION ALL U. S. MOTHERS

That each woman who bears
child shall receive a pension of $25
is one of the provisions Of a bill
which Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey,
the dean of the Washington College
of Law-the only exclusively women's
law school in the country-is advo-
eating before congress.
Mrs. Mussey's bill contains a num-
Der of unique prCaisions, all putting
a premium on motherhood. She
would provide the mother not only
with $25 for every child born, but
would have the government allow
mothers $3.50 week for three
months before and three months
after the birth of child. In addition
to this a woman forty-fve years old
with six children should also get a
pension, the amount not yet being
named.
Mrs. Mussey, in discussing her
BILL said that much Of the blame for
the white slave traffic in this country
could be laid to the failure of mothers
