Dear Mrs. Thompson. I married a
first marriage. This son was given
TO his mother by law. His mother took
care of him for couple of years, then
somehow she could not support him
properly, so she applied to the town
for aid. The town wrote to the boy
father and he wrote them that he
would support the boy. Then they
sent the boy to us.
His father and 1 were good to him.
He is 16 years old now and his mother
wants him back. 1 want him to go
back to his mother, and always tell
him to respect his mother.
She writes nice letters to him. But
he just laughs al her letters and says
he is not going back He is working
out now and keeps all of his money
and spends it for foolish things. If
his father told his employer to hold
the money so his father could get it,
the boy says he'll quit his job.
Now, Mrs. Thompson, 1 feel like
writing 10 his mother and telling her
that her boy is working now. I wish
so much that he would go to his moth
er and help her. because she needs
his help. She has a farm Or would
you advise me to write to the town
officers that sent him here (his moth
er lives in another town now?
This boy has an aunt, who also has
farm. He goes to her place every
Sunday and stays there, also all Mon
day, when he ought to be back to his
work She lets him neglect his work
when she knows his father doesn't
want him to. This aunt expects to
move to a big city and tells him he
can go along Can she take him if
father doesn't care, but the boy be-
longs to his mother by law. Is that
aunt doing right?
LOYAL MOTHER.
Talk with the boy seriously. Try to
arouse some feeling for his mother
Tell him that she needs him and that
it's the part of a real man to help her.
Your husband could take up the mat
ter with the court which gave the boy
70 his mother and see what the law
says in the matter. l do not know
whether c. not it would compel the
boy to go back now.
1t is not right for the aunt to spoil
the boy. He should understand that
he has duties to perform, as well as
pleasure. A visit to- the city might do
him some good. though it is just as
apt to do him harm. 1t depends upon
what strength of character the boy

Workers to Compel Peace

pared to advocate an international
federation of working men, including
farmers, pledged to this one thing:
That in the event of war, except pure
~ in self defense. they will not serve
IN the army or prepare any material
or equipment or sustenance for the
soldiers, and if it comes to the worst
they will call a strike, paralyZing all
the industries and shutting up all the

not marry, because your husband

THE COURSE OF SCOTLAND.

The nine of diamonds is designat-
ed "the curse of Scotland" One Of
the most plausible suggestions as to
the origin of the term is that in the
game Of "Comette," introduced by
Queen Mary, it is the great winning
card, and the game was the curse of
Scotland, because it was the ruin of
so many families. Other suggestions
are these: 2. The word "curse" is a
corruption of "cross," and the nine
Of diamonds is so arranged as to
form st. Andrews cross, but as
the nine of hearts would do as well
this explanation must be abandoned.
8. Some say it was the card on
which the Butcher Duke" wrote
his cruel order after the battle of
Culloden, but the term must have
been in vogue at the period, as the
ladies nicknamed Justice Clerk
Ormistone "The Nine of Diamonds"
(1715). 4. Similarly we must re-
ject the suggestion that it refers to
the arms of Dalrymple, earl of Star,
viz, cor on a satire azure, nine loz-
enges of the first" The earl was
