And the worst of it is that the
woman who gives another woman a
bad husband can never undo her
wrong. There is no place for her
for repentance, though she seek it
with prayers and tears. Her op-
portunity is gone with her sons
plastic childhood. Then she might
have trained him to make a good
husband when he was grown, but
after he reaches manageable age
it is too late.
There is nothing else on earth so
cynicaIIy humorous as that most of
the women of civilization are band
ed together in churches and altru-
istic societies to make the world
better and happier, and yet the one
thing that they could do to bring
on the millennium they never even
think of doing.
Every other sorrow in existence
is as nothing to the anguish caused
by unhappy marriages. That is the
very fountain of tears. the founda-
ton of the mountain of broken
hearts, yet women have within
their grasp the panacea for all of
this woe, and they do not use it.
1t is within the bounds of pos
sibility that there would be no
more unhappy marriages if moth
ers would only train UP their chill
dren to make good husbands and
wives. and when they fail to do
this they make themselves Access
series. before the crime not only Of
divorce, but for all the wretChed-
ness for which it is the inadequate
cure.
When man turns out to be fine
and brave and wonderful, and
achieves a great success, we like to
give much of the credit to his
mother, and tell how she inspired
him. and nodded his character, and
helped to make him what he is.
Let us not forget that the man
who is mean, and little, who is
twhing and worthless, who is a
failure. and who is a curse to all
who come in contact with him,
likewise had a mother. He is also

ence that nodded him. her weak

failure. Many a mother looking at

If You Get Mad, Chew a

It Is Easy to Calm Your Temper- You Don't Forget Al

One of our readers woman confesses that
with violent temper and wants to know what she do to
cure it.
High temper is usually temperamena-that to say it

in this world than o change ones TEMPERAMENT
OF all mperamenta qualities bad temper is perhaps the

This woman however, is the right road, SINCE SHE
RECOGNIZES THAT HER TEMPER IS BAD,
Most of imagine that have not bad tempers. We
subjected irritation than others, and
that we justified in getting mad
There certain ways of mechanically calming violent
temper. Our reader has perhaps heard of them.

is so great almost to cause temporary insanity.
If you put something in your mouth and chew it, you will
find quoting The of chewing activity of

Another very valuable plan always apologize every
body concerned after display of temper This is very apt
bore those who receive the apology but it makes the hot tenn
pered feel foolish and he will realize his temper
that he must be apoogizng his mind takes different

They encouraged belief by people
around them who give in to their whms out of dread of their

But, if when a woman watches
her son being married, she knows
that she has raised him up to be
undlsciplined and untaught; if she
knows that he has an unbridled
temper and a tongue that stabs like

if she knows that he viii make Of

THE son Of a woman who is
said to be worth seven million
dollars got married, and after
the manner of the sons of rich and
doting mothers conducted himself
in such way that his wife was
obliged to sue him for divorce.
Then the question of a support for
his wife and two children came up
and the young man protested that
he was poor; that he earned only
a small salary, and could pay but a
pittance of alimony.
But the judge-may his tribe in
crease this plea. and. in
awarding the wife and children
enough money to insure them a de-
cent living. said:
IF a woman brings up her son
in idleness. with the idea that he is
to inherit wealth, then what the
mother is worth is clearly admissi-
bic in determining what alimony
the son shall pay"
And SO mamma has got to go
down in her own pocket and pay
the alimony.
This is a righteous decision that
every just person will applaud. If
woman rears her son to be a waster
and a speuder. instead of thrifty
and INDUSTRIOUS, it is no more than
right that she should be forced to
support the wife and children she
has not fitted him to care for like a
decent man. 1t is her fault that
he is worthless, and it is not fair
that his family should eNpiate in
poverty his mothers crime.
As a cold, plain matter of fact,
every mother is responsiblerfor the
kind Of husband her daughter-iu-
law gets, and the tragedy or It Is
that when the daughter-in-law gets
a bad husband, it is only when it is
question of money that his moth

The


NF the morality" of gambling
" nothing need be said. All
affirm is that it is simply alb
surd to enter on a habit where
success is defeat and to win Is ca
lamity.
The successful amateur gambler
graduates into professional-he
has to, for business men shun him.
No man who plays cards for
money can keep his position long.
The fact is, none of us has a sur
plus Of brains, and If we are going
to succeed in business all the power
we have to our credit Is demanded.
The man who can play cards at
night and do business in the day
time hasn't yet been born.
Life is a bank account with so
much divine energy at your dispo-
sal. What are you going to do with
it? If you draw your checks for
this, you can not draw for that.
Take your choice. And, above all,
do not draw on the Bank of Futu-
rity by breathing bad air. keeping
bad hours and bad company.
The man who succeeds in bust
ness is the one who goes to bed
before 10 o'clock at night, and only
one thing is he Jealous of, and that
is outdoor exercise.
Gambling robs a man Of rest,
and the keen edge OF life is lost
in shuffling the pasteboards. All
he gives to his employer or the
world Is the discard. Outside Of his
play he is weak, inernc1ent per-
son, and his weakness is very apt
to manifest itself in burdening his
friends.
The curse Of gambling does not
fall on the gambler alone any more
than the drunkard alone suffers for
his fault. Suffering falls upon
every one within the radius of the
gambler.
If your gambler is on a salary,
he very often comes around for his
wages before pay day, then he gets
to discounting his salary to a mon
ey shark; then, if he can, he will
borrow" his pay before he earns 1t,
without first consulting you. He in
tends to pay it back-oh, yes!
He wins and pays it back This
encourages him to borrow more the
next time. He takes more in order

to win more He is now obliged to
play heavily because his debts are
accommodating. 1t is an old story,
and dozens of men in prison can tell
you all about 1t.
To do business with gamblers
leads, as a rule, to disappointment,
because with gamblers the idea
of reciprocity, mutually and CO.
operation, except TO skin some
body, does not exist.
From betting to beggardom Is
only one step. No man can play
the pasteboards or the races con-
tinually and win. Mechanically
he is bound to lose at last And
of all fools the biggest is the man
who bets on sure thing"
John Madden has followed the
business for a quarter of a CEN
fury and says: ct quit betting
years ago and if I ever bet again
it will be because the disease has
gotten the better Of my business
judgment"
The bookmaker gets it all-he
has but to wait and the whole
thing is his. 1t is just like the
game where the dealer takes care
of all the bets and gives the first
booster an ace in the hole. If the
boosters do not get the Give ones"
money the dealer will. He gets
all the others have, as sure as
death, If they continue to play.
Do not imagine that all gam
bling is done in the cities. Man
made the cities, God the country,
but the devil made the small
towns" Hardly a village in
America is free from the scourge.
Gambling means blurred vision,
weak muscles, shaky nerves. Loss

\ S yon great in his supreme condition

So does my love absorb each vain ambition,
Each outside purpose which my life has known.
Stars not shine that vast orbd splendor;
They content to feed his flames of fire
And my heart is satisfied to render
It's strength, its all, to meet thy strong desire
AS in forest when dead leaves are falling
From all save some perennial green tree
SO one by one l find all pleasures paling
That not linked with enjoyed by thee
And all the homage that the world may profer

And think of it thing to offer
And sacrifice to Love- at thy dear feet
| love myself because thou art my lover
My name seems dear since uttered by thy voice;
Yet argus-eyed, [ watch and would discover
Each blemish in the object of thy choice
I codly sit in judgment on each error;
To my souls gaze l hold each fault of me,
Until my pride is lost in abject terror,
Lest become inadequate to thee.
Like some swift-rushing and sea-seelng river
Which gathers force the farther on it goes
SO does the current of my love forever
Find added strength and beauty as it flows

The more receive, the more remains to win

Will life be long enough to love thee in
