PAY Tributes TO
MOTHERS OF LAND

Mothers day was generally observ-
ed in the city yesterday and special
services in honor of mother were held
in many of the churches. Sens and
daughters joined in honoring their
mothers and the pastors preached
sermons that were of interest to the
mothers of the land and in them
spoke Of the part the mothers of the
land play in the making Of the ma
ton. The movement for the general
observance of Mothers day was be-
gun six years ago by Miss Anna Jar
Wis in commemorative of the death of
her mother. The daughter then took
up the work of making the observance
of the day general, that the mothers
might have paid to them the tribute
that is their due. The movement at
once became very popular and spe-
cial day is now set aside each year
in which the mothers of the land are
eXtolled for their love and kindness.

If Lion Pulls and Horse Pulls.

If lion and a strong horse were to
pull in opposite directions the horse
would pull the lion backward With
comparative ease. But if the lion were
hitched behind the horse and facing in
the same direction and were allowed to
exert his strength in backing he could
easily pull the horse down upon his
launches or drag him across the ring.
so much greater is his strength when
-zertcd backward from the hind legs
