The Man Who Denied His Mother.

The Man Who Denied His Mother.
The name of man came up the
other day in some way during con-
yersation. Then another man told a
story. They had been at the same
school. The man of who the story is
told was great athlete. AS strong
man he excelled His way thru COL
lege was mostly paid by exhibitions
of strength and athletic feats on
vaudeville stages, etc. Among one
of his stunts was the lifting of a
steer free from the ground with one
hand and his picture taken in this
attitude brought him a fine sum
when sold to beef extract firm to
be used as it's trade mark, says the
Marshalltown Times Republican.
Somebody saw him talking to an
old Jewish woman one day, type
of the ghetto. He was asked of her
identity. He said she was an old
woman whom he had employed. La
ter it was found that she was his
mother. She had done all she could
for him and had come miles to see
him because he was her son. And
the strong man who could lift an OK
was weak enough to deny the mo-
Their who bore him. So when men
who know him think of him, that is
what they think Of first. Not his
strength and the distinction he gain
ed through the mighty muscles he
inherited from his humble parents
but the Judas weakness that denied
his mother.
Listen if there is on earth or any
where else a highest loyalty ii is
that owed by a boy to his mother
Beyond his duty Of affection and 10y
atty to all others is that sanctity of
tenderness from her son due to her.
No weakness compares with that
which forgets mother, no strength
compensates for any neglect of her.
Men know all this. They learn it
sometimes in the sharp school of un-
awaiting regret.
Obedience, love, protection, kind
ness, loyalty, respect and venerva-
ton are due the mother from her
son. Don't forget it. Don't neglect
her. If there is any one thing that
is the limit Of the contemplate dis
respect from son to his mother is
the lowest. Help her. You are not
too good or too strong to lend a
hand at any of her labors. Make her
happy; she has given her strength
to keep you strong and glad. Stick
to her in happiness and sorrow
Stay by her whatever befalls in good
or evil repute, under any circum-
stances and to the last hour Of her
life. For that is the essence of duty
and the crown of manliness-to stay
by your mother.

Baseball For Prisoners.

When the American Prison Asso-
citation, in session at Indianapolis,
got to talking about baseball for
prisoners, they did not perhaps
realize how much copy they would
be making for newspaper paragra-
pliers. The editor can think Off
hand of two or three squibs that
would amuse his readers, and add
sparkle to the PAPER.
The original idea of a prison was
a place where a man was shut up,
that he might mediate on his sins,
and resolve to live a better life.
About the only recreation was meet
ing Sundays to sing gospel songs,
while the chaplain gave them adj
vice that would be excellent if they
would follow it.
But it's a pretty hard proposition
to get an abnormal man to become
a normal one, if during the process
he has to live a life that is also alb
normal in every particular. You
can't get a strong healthy plant by
growing it in a cellar where SUM-
shine never penetrates. 1t will be
pale and sickly.
Modern ideas of prison manage
ment are tending away from the
nj ir,oi 1.-two idna &c
more that of separation from the
rest of the world. The theory is
that these people have proved their
unftness to mingle freely with their
fellows. Therefore let them be
separated until they learn better.
Meanwhile the life should be as
nearly normal as it can be without
making it attractive to the idle and
lazy.
If you work along that theory,
the idea of baseball and other games
in prisons does not seem SO absurd.
A hearty contest once in a while
might do a world of good in better
ment to physical health, in check
| ing the inroads of despair on the
struggling soul, in making attrac-
tive the pursuits that accompany a
| life of honest work The privilege
of playing such games might well
be used as reward, to be given to
men who show an ambition to learn
useful trades, and to fit themselves
for a self respecting life of honest
industry.

A Garden and a Mich Cow.

In peace prepare for war. While
the weather is making ice in defiance
of the pessmistic predictions of an
ice famine the seed catalogues are
suggesting fresh lettuce and early
radishes and green peas. Get ready
town Times-Republican.
Every family should have a gar
den. A good garden and a mich COW
is the closest approach to indepen-
dence permitted the town dweller. 1t
isn't altogether easy to have a good
garden but it is the most sensible
and profitable employment of odd
time. The labor expended on sum-
mer garden gives the biggest returns
in pleasure and economy.
The amount of truck that may be
raised on an intensely cultivated back
half of an ordinary lot, and the
equivalent in cash if bought at the
grocery store are astonishing. The
saving will carry very considerable
life insurance policy. The man with
a good garden may have the finest
vegetables for his table if he choos-
es and with the saving he accomplish
es with little time and labor carry
an endowment policy which would
pay him $4,000 at the end of ten
years. Imagine a profit of $4,000
from the half of $50 foot lot in ten
years. What would farm land which
should show such profit sell at per
acre?
Add good mich COW to the gar
| den and apply the added saving on
loan payment policy. Figure hon
estly the cost of milk for nine months
a year to the family. Add to this
the milk that may be sold in excess of
the home needs. Subtract the cost
of the cows keep and a fair inter-
est on the money invested in the COW.
Put all the remainder into endow-
ment life or into building and loan
stock and see where you are at the
end of ten years.
Thrift, thrift, Horatio," there is
no thrift like garden and a good
mich cow

HOW CHILDREN GROW

Children grow by nourishment-not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
DEMONSTRATING blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them SCOTS
Emulsion whichis pure medicinal nourish-
ment. 1t sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. SCOTS is growing food for
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.
