As Mother Used to Do.

He criticised her puddings, and
found fault with her cake,
He wished she'd make such biscuits
a. his mother used to make,
She didn't wash the dishes and she
didn't make stew,
Nor even mend his stockings as his
mother used to do.
His mother had six children, but by
night her work was done,
His wife was always drudging, and
yet had only one;
His mother always was well dressed;
his wife could be SO, too,
III she would only manage, a. his
mother used to do.
All, we'll, she wasn't perfect, but she
tried to do her best,
Until at length she thought her time
had come to take rest,
And so one day when he the same
harangue went through,
She turned and boxed his ears just
ID his mother used to do

an indirect way, as the man who is sent
out to convert the heather to OUT way

Every automobile that Is driven to-

cause the automobile has made new

thousands who would otherwise be idle
or working intermittently at various
things.
Automobiles have made life brighter
for a good many of US. They have

whole the possessor OF a machine is
good sort, as generous as the space
in his equipage He is as courteous
as any occupant of a carriage ever was,

perhaps, to the fact that he may have

He's a pretty good sort of mission.

to fall. During the latter period of
his term of office, his recommended
tons were ignored by congress, and
he In turn ignored the legislation of
the peoples representatives.
AS a peacemaker, Mr.. Taft has
proved to be a great failure from the
very start. The whole country was
shocked by the Ballinger Pinchot con-
troversy, with the result that today
the republican party is hopelessly
split asunder.
The democrats came into majority
In the house, and, notwithstanding
all prophecy TO the contrary, they are
working together in superb harmony.
They have passed more constructive
legislation during their comparatively
brief tenure than perhaps the country
ever before witnessed in a like period
Were it not for the outrageous abuse
of the vetoing power on the part of
the executive the country would at
present be enjoying relief from ex.
cessive tariffc and many other evils
that we are obliged to suffer.
Without doubt Governor Wilson
will be able to bring about the much
needed reforms because he will have
the undivided support of a democratic
congress.

Mrs. Stanford was q widow thir-

her complexion was fiorid. her eye was
a soft brown, and altogether she was
goodly to look upon by a man who had
passed twoscore years and five.
Walter Washburn had offered him.
self to Mrs. Stanford, but that lady,
though she admired him for his sal
wart form and his prowess-for he
had distinguished himself in the In
dian wars in the colony-was not mind

not possessed of worldly goods. So
she d,S-led Mr.. Washburn's offer,
with many thanks, for the honor he
would have conferred upon her.
Now, the widow had a daughter,
