A Memorial to Elijah KELLOGG.
From the Providence .Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
The movement for placing a memorial
tablet to Rev. Elijah Kellogg on the
a Of a building Of Bowdoin college is
one that will appeal to thousands of
the readers Of his stories for boys.
Thirty or 40 years ago there were few
American youths who we're not deeply
interested in his series of books on
college life and the careers of his young
heroes after they left Bow6oin.
His sketches Of Professor Cleveland
We're peculiarly interesting and impress
sive. and, besides telling his stories
well, Nh. Kellogg had the happy faculty
or lmpressing upon the reader the inn
portance of conscientious endeavor and
right living without a suggestion of
gratuitous lecturing. His boy friends
thus received wholesome instruction
while following the adventures of
Henry Morton, James Trafton and their
associates in '"The Whispering Pine"
and others of the college series. His
Elm island stories likewise appealed to
younger readers, and the exploits of the
hardy pioneers in the wilderness dur
ing n Indian wars furnished another
theme which enhanced the authors
popularity.
ReY. Elijah Kellogg graduated from
Bowdoin in the class of 1910, and it is
most fitting that a tablet should occupy

h is not so much of a girl as she was.
And the mother, who vas middle-aged.
seems verging upon old age now. And
always waiting on her daughter.
Is it some time going to be the other
around? Is the daughter going to
repay the mothers devotion by taking
Jealous care of her in her ole age? How
can she ever do that when her mother
does everything for her now? All these
services. these constant. untiring, de-
voted services. are uniting the girl to
take care of herself. to ray nothing of
taking care of anybody else.
A day is going to ON when the
slavey mother will be in a very bad fix.
When she becomes feeble she may as
well get out of the world. Our state
of society a no place for old people.
There is no fireside nook for them.
Fireside hooks are obsolete. Tender
respect for TIE aged is pretty much OBJ
solete. Perhaps the slavey mother will.
find refuge in an old woman's homo
somewhere. But that girl in the rosy
kimono. tanning herself on the couch
there. is never going to be a slavey
mother herself. You mny be sure Of
that.

SLAVE TO DAUGHTER
FOND MOTHERS FATE
Pitiable Revolution When Age
Waits on Youth and Par
ents Live Unhonored.
From the New York Mail.

You have probably seen her a good
many times in this town-the slavey
mother. She is a meek woman. some
times little, sometimes big and stout.
She is middle-aged, verging to old.
She has q daughter, for whose sake
h wears out her life.
That is a good example of her-the
in the fiat across the court.
Evidently the two women who live In
that fiat are not rich, or they would
1t is even possible that h daughter
has employment, for she is absent from
the house u good deal. But when h
is at home is there a moment when
her plain, middle-aged mother is not
engaged in some service for her?
The girl zones in and puts on a XII
mono. Then she lies down on the
couch and fan herself or reads a
magazine. Did you see the mother re-
10Y some sewing from the couch be-
fore the girl came in and place the
cushions in a comfortable pile in the
corner?
Now that the daughter has come.
and has been made comfortable. the
mother disappears from the room. 1t
is easy to see hat she is preparing a
meal out in the kitchen The girl shifts
herself on the couch. She fans her
self; she takes up a newspaper. But
by and by you can near her say, yes,
mother"-rather languidly, with a little
querulous infection-and she rises to
go out and eat the meal that her moth
err has prepared.
Afterward the mother will come in
and perform various little services for
the daughter. She washes the girls
hair and when it is dry combs and
dresses it very lovingly. The rosy gar
ment which the older woman has been
working on all the afternoon is perfect
ly sure to appear on the girls back in
a few days.
You can see the older woman bring
ing in parcels. You do not see the girl
bring in parcels. The mother does the
shopping and marketing, as we'll as
the cooking, the sweeping and the sew
ing. She is not only h~ousekeeper to he1
daughter, but lady's maid as well.
Manifestly she holds the girl in great
affection. If you were to pity her she
would resent it. Very likely life has nc
dearer Joy to her than this continual
service of her daughter. She does not
want anything better to do. Perhaps
1t is all right. But there Is a slight
fault finding streak in the q~uerulous
infection Of the girls voice. And alst

brilliant ball ever given in this city

Princess Kapurtala of India, whose
jewels are estimated as being worth
81, 900, 1000.
The affair was known as the jewel

at the gorgeous function were the very

by the fortunate guests in attendance

Religious Neurasthenia.
From the Battle Greek Ide,

FfUH tHe BattIe Greek idea.
The venerable Bishop Vincent, of Chau-
tallqua fame once remarked in a public
address, Some people think they nave

mad a bilious attack Such persons are
generally religious Inconsistencies.
Their creed is a neurasthenic theology
and their religion a fine sort of pessimism.
They discern on every storm cloud the
face of an angry Providence and inter-
pref every calamity personal or national,
These unhappy souls live under a perpet.
ual hadow because of their perverted
idas of life here and hereafter.
A religious neurasthenic may be In part
a product of wrong education. The NOR

persons are by no means held by a few
individuals but are widely current in GER
