THE MEMORY OF BROTHERHOOD.

Throughout the land to-day men Will
wear white flowers in memory Of their
mothers. This is & beautiful tribute
and shows how the modern world
makes for itself new feast days on
which to celebrate what it holds most
dear And as in all ccremonials
founded upon elemental things, many
good thoughts will flow from Its OBJ
scrvance, IN ADDITION to the sentiment
Of affection and filial loyalty inspired.
For men, in remembering the universal
beauty OF motherhood. will be drawn
closer TO each other by the unvoiced
knowledge of n universal brotherhood.
Anglo SaNons are not given to sur
face feelings. and they are stern indi-
yidualists. SO whatever arouSes IN them
a common emotion and brings home to
their hearts sentiment of reverence
for a natural bond has as fine fruit q
consciousness Of interdependence and
a common cause However cold and
remote man mev be, and however
forEetful of his simple humanity, the
thought that all men share with him
the noble sense of iilial love must make
him kinder and more charitable. These
holidays that bring the race together
before single altar mean much in
spreading sweetness and light TO lessen
the strife OF classes and OF nations.
He who is bent on outreaching and
crushing another may we'll pause at the
thought OF what pangs his act brings
TO the heart Of a mother who loves
as does his own.
Tls world should be better for
Mothers, Day. Its recolleot!ons bring
home lost ideals and dead hopes and
inst;l fresh courage And not least of
its gifts should be the thought that IN
the highest duty 10 be paid for the love
of q mother is somewhere hidden
jus, and generous love for the brother
hood OF her sons.

1t is showing the heroism OF the

ROBBERS MAKE RICH HAUL ON
 SANTAFE ROAD
Secure $2O,O0O In Gold, and After Beating Messenger Into InsensibiIty, Drop from Moving Train Near Bakersfield, Cal.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

BAKERSFIELD, CaIy, Dec. g. Twenty thousand in gold was the haul of two robbers who held up an express car on the Sunset west ern train between Bakersfield and Taft. Cal. tonight. The money was consigned to the First National bank of Taft by the First National bank of Bakersfield and was not placed in the express car safe
 When the train arrived at Taft railroad men were forced to break down the door of the express car In a corner, covered with mailsacks, they found NJ ". Hamby. the ex- press messengers. who was just <re- gaining consciousness. Hamby was apparently only stunned. and phyi- clans declare he is not seriously hurt He could provide but few details of the robbery. He appeared to be still suffering from the effects or a blow and was rather incoherent
 Officials of the First National bank here confirmed the fact that $20,OOO had been shipped to Taft and have been notified of the theft of the gold The Sunset Western is a branch of the Santa Fe, which runs into the Midway oil fields The train lefI here at 6 o'clock and the robbery occurred between S:3o and o'clock No stops are made between Mari copa and Taft, and the robbers must have dropped from the train while it was going Several posses lief, here for the scene of the robbery and others are searching in the vi cinity of Maricopa and Taft
