ISSUES AN ULTIMATUM
City Gives Western Union One Month
20 Remove sPOles From Fourth ST..

The promised ultimatum to the Western
Union Telegraph company was approved
officially by the board Of city coEhmts-
sioners at q meeting in the city hall this
morning. The admonition sent out by the
city gives the telegraph company just one
month In which to remove the unsightly
poles from along the great white way on
East Fourth street from Kansas avenue
to Holiday.
The city and the Western Union have
been dickering for months. First one
promise and then another came to the
city hall from the officials of the tele-
graph corporation. Meanwhile the tax
payers and property owners along the ex-
'pensive white way la1nented and groaned.
They threatened the city hall with vio-
lence. The promises OF the telegraph con-
Germ held forth no aims to them.
In a recent conference, officials of the
Western. Union said they would place
their wires out of the way and remove
the poles. Tie city demands that the
wires be placed in conduits. Thirty days
of grace and the ely will organize chop
ping gang and descend upon the forest.

The Glory of Motherhood
BY Rev. Alexan der, c. Stevens, in St. Paul Dispatch

soul. A new .womanliness crowned
her brow and shone from her eyes,
The child died. But the light re.,
mains. Gods angel has been earth
visiting.
So sacred is life giving that it is
an open question If even unhallowed
motherhood should be torn from its
own. Shame may not kill mother
love, once it ZONES. Strange that It's
coming sometimes Is by the way Of
an unholy Calvary. God, who for
gives, makes love greater than dis
grace. Motherhood is divine. It has
a secret joy that follows pain.
Catherine Booth Clibborn arraigns
wifehood that refuses to enter the or
| dained course of motherhood. In adj
dressing the National Purity Congress
she said: II want to speak about the
| glory of motherhood. I have thought
of having a stage and being an act
ress to show the glory of motherhood,
and bringing on my ten children. /
cannot understand America and Eng
land going down the same road as
France. No, we don't want children;
we won't have children.
"Oh, the paltry, Insignificant, self
ish, abominable reasons some women
give. | said to woman, Why
don't you want another child?' oh
well, you see,' she replied, I hold to
my figure And she said, how do you
keep your fgure?' i don't think /
should have considered it a great
calamity ] made answer, IF | had
lost it.
ooh, the blessing the joy, the
sweetness, the glory of bringing up
a child. If / were a young woman
! and you would put up 5000, 900 on
one side, and a child on the other l
would say, Give me the child to love
me- There is capital in a child. No
one knows what there is in a child.
What makes it go?" The secret
of the clock may be easily told. Two
minutes Of selling time and a few dol
lars will place a dial in another win
dow with full explanation Of the
working principle. It is an advertis-
ing device at best.
The motive of living things, for
whom time is measured, Is a law of
progress by sacrifice The Godward
reach is for our hands that they may
point the hour of life and love on
the dial Of every day affairs. He who
seeks to save himself alone will never
know the secret of a time keeping
| that wearies not In we'll doing.

What makes it go?" On a clock
face in a store window is this ques-
ton. All that appears beside is the
plain glass dial with the progressing
hands.
The passenger on a street car read
the words and later called the phone
number of the place to inquire: But
what does make it go?' He was in
formed that the movement is a scret.
No mechanical or electric device con
tributes to the action of the dial.
The persistent Yankee asked: But
would it go for me if l placed it in
my store window out in the country?"
The reply was, ut will go anywhere"
The possessor of the magic clock
told his q%uestioner that "it is very
simple when once you know"
So with everything. The title
phenomenon" which WE give to the
unexplained is of something quite
simple when we know.
Wizard Burbank is miracle working
in the garden. For each gift he
brings we exclaim: How could this
become?" 1t is a genesis law that
has a perpetual decree unfailing then
and nov and saying: Herbs yielding
seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit af.
ter their kind, wherein is the seed
thereof"
There must also be counted the rev.
erent man Burbank who holds seed
and fruit for development before a
willing God and in a living soil. Then
the secret is learned that the life
processes go on forever. We are in
the midst OF creation.
The mightiest element in the world
