CHEER OF THE OLD HOME
Something Which Every Man and
Womaa Should Be Able to Look
Back Upon.

1t would be a blessing If we parents
could just reflect that It may be that
the only cheer in life which our chill
dren will get Is the cheer of the old
home, writes Frank w. Gunsaulus.
They are hurrying out into the world
which has no time to make them
happy. If they are fortunate, as the
world says, they will probably have
homes, where old-fashioned and romp-
ing cheerfulness would skin its shins
against the furniture or break the
Louis XIV. cha'~. Blessed old days,
and most wholesome to look back
upon, are those when the hearty laugh.
Of father would not split the lace cur
tains, and when mother could have
two big, healthy children upon her
lap while she was sitting down, with
safety to all parties, in her rocker. No
coin on earth costs so little to mint
and goes so far in paying life's heavy
expenses as Good Cheer. Pessimlsts
are made before children are ten
years of age. and pessimism comes
when cEild cannot turn a golden
laugh into ready cash for life's poverty
and It's relief. We talk about the cru
city of fathers depriving child
of sufficient clothing. It Is too bad
but a child's toes would better be
ruddy and his ears tingle with cold
than to have a home with winter in
the atmosphere and the ssmiles all
freezing to death.
No child is prepared for the SUI
premely serious things of life who
cannot laugh away all the goblins and
ghosts and break with the shining
wand of Good Cheer the circle drawn
around him by any giant.

CLING TO OLD DESIGNATIONS
Sporting Language That Was Used In
the Middle Ages Is Still Good
Form Today.

Much Of the language used In vari-
GUS sports is our inheritance from the
middle ages. Different kinds of beasts
when in companies were distinguished
by their own particular epithet, which
was supposed to be in some manner
descriptive of the habits of the ami
mails. To use the wrong form of these
words subjected the would-be sports
man TO ridicule.
Many Of these terms have passed
away, but some OF them are still re-
tained. This list from the middle
ages is still good usage today. A pride
of lions." 'lope" OF leopards, herd"
of harts and of all sorts OF deer; q
"bevy" Of roses. "sloth" OF bears. q
singular" of boars. a "sounder" OF
wild swine. route" of wolves. a
"harras" of horses, ray" OF colts,
a stud" Of mares, pace" OF asses,
q barren" of mules, team" of oxen,i
a drove" of kline, flock of sheep.
"trite" Of goats, "skulk" of foxes,
a down" of hares, a next" of rab-
bits, a "clowder" of cats, a "shrewd-
ness" Of apes and Tabor" of moles.
Also Of animals when they retired
to rest, a hart was said to be thar
bored" roebuck "bedded," a hare
formed" rabbit "set." Two grey
hounds were called brace" but two
barriers were called Couple" There
was also mute" Of hounds for q
number, a kennel" of raches. 'lit-
ter" Of whelps and "cowardice" of
ours.
This kind Of descriptive phraseology
was not confined to birds and beasts,
but was extended to the human spe-
cies and the various propensities, ma
lures and callings.

ordinance which prohibits hens from
running at large within a mile and

was apparently a joke when It was

Mothers DAY
next SUNDAY
OBSERVANCE or THE DAY HAS
GROWN INTO NATIONAL GUS
TOM AND WILL sE OBSERVED
IN FARGo-WHITE cARNATIoN
APPROPRIATE.

Mothers day win be generally OBJ
served throughout the country next
Sunday, the day designated by the
governors of various states in procla-
nations to the people. The appro~
pirate emblem of the day is the white
carnation.
The observance of the day has
grown into a national custom in only
the last four years, as the idea was
originated just four years ago, in 1908,
by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia,
who paid a tribute to the memory of
her own mother on the anniversary of
the death of her beloved parent. At
the time Miss Jarvis publicly stated
that she felt that placing flowers on
the grave of a departed mother was
insufficient tribute to a mothers love,
and she advocated that all mothers,
living or deceased, should be honored
by their children for whom they made
many countless sacrifices by the wear.
ing of a carnation.
A white carnation was designated by
Miss Jarvis for this occasion, but since
then some have striven to improve on
the idea, which is one now of national
scope, by having the white flower
worn as the emblem of a departed
mother and a red flower denote that
the parent is living. 1t has been the
general consensus Of opinion, how
ever, that the white flower alone is
sufficient as q token Of homage in
either case.
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
Taylor has issued a proclamation re-
questing appropriate Mothers day ex-
ercises to be held in the public schools
throughout the state tomorrow, May
10.
In all churches and at the taber-
nacle the national custom and day
will be appropriately observed and
tributes to maternal solieitude, the
greatest thing in the world, will
doubtless be expressed by all the min
listers Of the city and the leading pulpit
orators throughout the country.

A PLAYGROUND
Residents of Fifth Ward Asitatins for
Block Of Land Set Apart
for Children.

The plan is being agitated for Sc
curing a block of land in the Fifth
ward for a playground for the children
This part of the city has no park and
it would seem as If something of this
nature was needed in this popuIous and
rapidly growing part Of the city. Va
cant lots r used by the children of
that ward for various games, but many
times these are not convenient and are
also objected to by those having ad-
joining property.
1t il reported that the residents OF
the ward and the aldermen are decid-
eddy in favor of having an official
playground and having 1t under proper
control; this makes it more desirable
for both the children and more ac-
ceptable to the parents. The project
seems to be one which should be car
ried through.

that the Bible by a great many people
was thought to be doubtful as to ORR
gin. Aside from the fact that no mod
ern writer or any writer since the time
of the disciples has produced a book
superior to the Bible, some OF the an
cient authorities remain and the gen.
eology Of the Bible can be traced back
to persons who personally knew the
disciples and left records OF their
knowledge.
The speaker went on to tell of the
three versions Of the Bible which are
still in existence, one is at the vatican
in Rome and is treasured as one Of
their most sacred possessions. The
Greek version is treasured at st. Pet
ersburg and the other is in a British
museum.
Rev. Mr.. Sunday gave a compre-
hensive history Of the Bible and
through the medium of old statistics
proved that the Bible and it's teach
ings are God given and should be &C
cepted as such.
