A CROWD OF CHILDREN.

Out from under the flaming chande-
liers and off from the imported carpets
and down the granite there is coming a
great crowd of children in this dav un-
trained, saucy, incompetent for all prac-
teal duties of life, ready to be caught in
the first whirl of crime and senSu hty
Indolent and unfaithful mothers will
make indolent and uniaithiul children.
You cannot expect neatness and order
in house where the daughters see moth
ing but slatternliness and upside down
ativeness in their parents. Who are the
industrious men in all our occupations
and professions? Who are they who are
building the walls, timing the roofs,
weaving the carpets, making the laws
governing the nations, making the earth
to quake, and heave and roar and rattle
with the tread of gigantic enterprises?
Who are they? For the most part they
are descended from industrious mothers,
who in the old homestead used to spin
their own yarn and weave their own car
pets and plat their own door mats and
flag their own chairs and do their own
work The stalwart men and the influ.
ential women of this day, ninety nine out
of every hundred of them came from
such an iluStrious ancestry Of hard
knuckles and homespun.

on his mind They openly state that all
talk Of combinations comes from the
friends of other candidates and not from
his friends
The ProgreSsiveS will hold big confer
ence in Baltimore on March 26h and out
line plans for their State campaign. From
present indications, all hopes of fising or
amalgamating the Progressive and Re-
publican parties have Disappeared The
Republicans at first were inclined to favor
fusion. but they are now much opposed to
it and the Progressive leaders are Just as
hostile to il as they were when the ANAL
gamation plan was first suggested by
Frank A Munsev The Progressives de-
clare that they will. in addition to nom-
mating full state, city and county tickets,
also put in the race candidates for both
the long and short United States Senator
ial terms. This is pleasing news to Dem
ocrats, as it means that the Democrats
will control the next legislature by an
overwhelming majority and also elect
their state and local tickets. Former
United States Senator George l.. We'll
lington and former United States Attor-
ney General Charles / Bonaparte are be-
ing doomed by the Progressive as United
States Senatorial candidates. 1t is believ-
ed that both Messrs Wellington and
Bonaparte are ready to make the fight. if
they are the choice OF the Progressive
State Central Committee.

trict, near Wolisville. the construction of

ing themselves with the conditions.
The taxpayers adjoining the Greek
Road" from Myersville to Wolisville,
and the residents of Myersville are max
ing earnest effort to secure the pike and
had over seventy signers to their petl-
ton
They are willing to meet the commits
Sioncrs half way in the matter OF con-
structing the pike and say they will pay
so per cent of the cost of construction
and material. This stand was taken by
the residents of that section on last at
urday.
The bri &c that spans the Double Pipe
Creek near Smithsburg, is jointly owned
by Carroll and Frederick counties. As
soon As possible the commissioners of the
two counties will inspect the bridge TO

Woods woman hearing. and held her
subject to an autopsy to be made

who was summoned said the wound was
made by sharp knife. The wound, he
said while over the heat, did not enter
that organ. He said the blow from the
brick on the mead may have caused death,
and the autopsy must be held 70 deter
mine this. The three woman implicated

The prevailing idea Of the times is 10
make everything as pleasant as possible
for the children And the principle
seems almost unquestiohable. 1t would
seem a little short OF barbarous to be
otherwise But some good things are
often spollt by OVERRIDING, and it may be
that We are OVERRIDING things IN our at
tempt to make everything pleasant and
agreeable Tor the young and rising gener-
aiion. In the home, in the school and in
tine church our whole study NAV be 10
please the child and to make the way
easy. But when the household pet
passes into the business world. then the
way is not made easy Grim difficulties
confront it on every hand and nothing
but pluck, patience and perseverance
will overcome them But the child that
has always been entertained and helped
along an easy way'is not likely to pos
sess these important qualities. There is
no surer way of making anarchists than
to pei and pamper the young and rising
generation until it must take care OF
itself

THE AGED CHRISTIAN MOTHER.

To us it is beautiful sight to see an
aged Christian mother baSking in the
sunset of life that has been nobly lived
We visit her at her home. There she
sils-the old christian mother-ripe for
heaven Her eve sight is almost gone,
but the splendors of the Celestial City
kndle up her vision. The CAV light Of
heavens morn has struck through the
gray locks which are folded back over the,
wrinkled temples. She stQopS very
much now under the burden OF care that
she used to carrv for her children. She
sits at the home today too old to find
her way to the house OF God. but while
she sits there, all Of the past comes back
t. her, and the children that forty years
sgo trooped around her arm chair with
their little griefs and sorrows and also
their ioys-those children are gone
now. Some have been caught up into
the better realm, where they shall never
die. and others are ont in the broad
world attesing the eXcellenCy of Chris
tian's mothers love and doctrine Her
last days are full of peace, and are
calmer and sweeter, and her spirit will
become calmer and sweeter until The
gates Of life shall lift and let the worn
out pilgrim into eternal spring tide and
youth. where the limbs never ache and
the. eyes never grow dim, and the staff
Of the exhausted aud decrepit pilgrim
shall become the palm of the immortal
athlete.
