AN UNHAPPY MOTHER.

In an article in the August Woman's
Home Companion, Marion Harland
writes about the care of old people.
She makes the point that it is unwise
to relieve old people of all RESPONSE
bility. especially if they have led ac-
tive lives.
Following is a story illustrating her
contentious:
Another prosperous man took his
sixty fiveyear-o mother to his
home, and was m ght'ly applauded for
the deed. she had had pretty
tough time bringing up a family of
six children and nursing an invalid
husband for five or six years before
he died. She was a good energetic
woman capable" in the best Yam
kee sense of the word and deserved
the best her rich son could do for
her.
"Thus her little world of observers
and advisers.
mo direct attempt was made in
the new home to interfere with her
ideas and habits. Her amiable daugh-
ter-in-law and affectionate son lined
the nest with satin, and fed her upon
the finest of the wheat and upon hon
ey from the rock. 'Grandma's' will
was law in all that concerned herself,
81 spent a few days in the house
when she had made her home with
her son and his family ten years. She
was a querulous, suspicious, senile
wreck of her once bonny and blithe
self. She almost literally rusted in
the armchai from which she seldom
stirred all day long. The sharp eyes
retained something OF the old fire, but
it was baleful gleam, forever follow
ing movements of the companions
she detested and distrusted. From
the outset she had had no sympathy
with Their feelings and pursuits. She
reminded me of a spider crouched
in a corner of her web, ready to dart

The late Clara Barton, head of the
American Red Cross, was a Christian
in perhaps the best sense-the prac-
tical and unselfish sense.
Miss Barton, in au interview in
New York about the tenement house
laws, once said to a reporter:
"Pd neglect church, I'd neglect re-
ligion to have our vile and unwhole-
some slums all swept away"
She paused, then added:

At their convention in Portland the
Oregon bull moosers proved them
selves a timid lot. They

congressional and coun-
y tickets will not be named, although
the colonel has been insisting that a
complete party be formed and a full
ticket placed in the field.
1t is evident that Messrs. Coe, DEN
mis-, Kellaher ct al are fearful of the
outcome this fall. They want to be
with the new party yet still retain
their membership in the g. o. p. as a
precautionary step. They are willing
to follow the bull moose but reserve
the right to turn back if the trail be-
comes too rough. They have launch
ed the boat but keep it roped to the
shore, fearing to risk themselves upon
the deep.
That is what the conventions atti-
tude means and it confirms the East
Oregonian's impression of the bull
moose leadership in Oregon. There
are good men among them, but most
of the "leaders" are politicians OF
the get-there-easy class. They are
not really supporting Roosevelt from
principle but because they thought he
could win When he shows signs of
losing they quickly begin to hedge.
AS pointed out some time since, one
Of the weak features about the col

many generals who are fair weather
soldiers. They are willing to whoop
it up strong while everything goes
well but when the column begins to
meet reverses they are the sort to
step aside and claim they are merely

Can an army like that stand up un-

CENTURY PLANTS BLOOMING

Ocala has two century plants that
are throwing up their long, gigantic
stems, somewhat resembling Celopat-
ras needle, and will soon be in full
bloom.
One of these plants is at the home
of Mr.. Frank Drake, near the golf
links, and the other is at the home
of Mr.. Frank Harris, the editor of
this paper.
The bloom stem sometimes reaches
a height of forty feet. 1t is then two
or three months before the flower
withers and the stem perishes.
1t is called a century plant under
the popular delusion that the plant
only blooms once in a century In
higher attitudes it is sometimes one
hundred years in performing this
function: when this is done the plant
mas performed the purposes of its
creation, and dies.
+ In warmer climates it blooms with
in ten or twenty years In our latl-
tude they reach their maturity in the
latter number of years.
The proper name of the plant is
the agave or maguey, and is some
times called the American aloe.
We make no use of the plant in
this country but in Mexico and South
America it is esteemed very highly.
By incisions made into its stem the
sap is drawn and converted into
puluue. the famous drink of the Mex
leans, and from that again is distilled

From an extract of its leaves balls
are manufactured, which can be made
to lather, with water, like soap, and
from the center of the stem, split Ion
gitudinally, a substitute is obtained
for a hone or razor strop, which, ow-
ing to the particles of silica speedily

thread is made from the fibres of the
leaves, and the dried flower stems
constitute a thatch which is perfectly
impervious to rain.

NABoBS CAN BE HEROES

A survey of the list of the passen-
gers of the Titanic reveals that a
large number of men who went down
with the vessel were men of the
extremely wealthy class. That many
refused to accept their lives at the
sacrifice of the women, not only of
their class, but those of the second
cabin and steerage as well, is UNI
doubtedly true They were men OF
the same heroic mold as the common
people, and accepted their fate like
men.
1t is told that John Jacob Astor, one
of the richest men in America, gave
up his seat in one of the lifeboats to
woman, and went to his death calm
ly smoking cigarette. He gave up
life, wife and fortune that others
might live, and thereby covered the
name of Aston with an imperishable
renown, that not all the others of the
ancient family since the beginnings
of its fortunes have been able to give
| it.
We will have a kindlier, gentler
feeling for the wealthy of America
after we realize what some OF them
did in the way of real sacrifice in the
last great Miami Her

NOT A PENNY FOR GOOD ROADS

ings.
! 1t does not spend a penny for the
Improvement nor for the building of
our roads.
Not dreadnaughts of the sea, not
frowning fortresses, but good, smooth
surfaced roads, should be the boast
and pride of our nation.
Bad roads not only tax our pocket
books, but they tax our patience and
lnfiict cruelty to men and animals.
Jogging along over miserable roads
in hot, dusty weather in fly time, is a
picture of desperation, desolation and
despair, and is enough to make hui
name people weep. Where is the So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
animals?
The consumer is the one who must
pay the cost attaching to the neces-
saries of life from the time they leave
the fields to the time they reach the
consumers home.
The difference between the cost OF
hauling foodstuffs to market over bad
roads is heavy tax upon the CON
sumers of the land, and ought to be
made an unnecessary tax. Good roads
would mean the abolition of this tax
which cuts into the producers profits
so potentially.
Yet the government does not spend
a penny year for bodybuilding.
Bad roads throughout the country
is the rule. good roads the exception
1t is not so in the older countries
Europe is distancing us in good
roads building.
The government has spent two
thirds of billion of dollars for river
and harbor Improvements, and yet
permits her highways to remain al
most impossible. We cry out in very
shame.
The government is spending a bill
lion or more for the Panama canal,
but upon the million or more poor
wagon roads in which millions of her
population are interested she pays no
heed and appropriates not dollar.
We take that back.
The government is spending money
in the construction of roads. The
government is spending five million
dollars to build good roads in the
Philippine Islands and Porto Rico.
The engineers are spending more
than three millions in Alaska and
Panama.
That is all right. This paper is
glad of it, but is it treating the native
crackers right? The yeomanry who
have made this nation what it is?
