 Boys. if you'll give me back the valve I'll give you everything I've got and bring you some more tomorrow" he said After considerable parleying they consented to let him have his valve, but not before they had taken every tool he had on the train except one pick, a shovel and hammer. The next day when he came back he brought enough tools to stock up for the year.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE
 TO MOTHERHOOD BY
 DIR. JOHN $. FOSTER

up the flesh thereof instead In com menting upon this passage quaint Matthew Henry says: Eyes being made after Adam and out of him puts an honor upon her sex as In the glory of the man. If man is the head she is the crown to her husband. The man was dust re- fined; the woman was dust double re- fined-one remove further from the earth. She was made of rib out of the side of Adam Not made out of his head to top him; not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him; under his arm to be protected; and near his heart to be be- loved'
 Now, that the woman has been ere ated, let us further trace the beautifully simple story of the outgoings of the mans heart for his hepmeet For this reason, because of the glory of the pur- pose of the helpmeet's existence, her equality with her lover, For this reason shall man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they twain shall be flesh The language suggests the old, old story ever new, ever invested with heaven s benedictons of the lover pouring out his affection for his beloved. The scene of the first love story is the garden of Eden All the love stories since have been re- productions of that first disclosure of love the man pledging his love and strength to the honoring and loving and protecting and reverencing of the woman of h1s choice It is his lips that have spoken the first words. Her love Is encased with in her own breast until challenged by him who counts her worthy of his best It is his solicitations that lead her out from the calm love of her home to build the new home in the pride of husband affection. Has your attention ever been attracted by the frequency with when the husband is admonished in the Scrip lures to love his wife? No such specific commands are noted in regard to the wife not that she is relieved of this op- ligation but that the principle upon which the home is buided may be cease lessly recognized and honored on the part of him whose utterances of love led to the laying of the foundations of the new home.
 When the Child Comes
 "Now when there comes into the family circle the child in whose veins flows the blood of both father and mother and it reaches the age of ob- servation and meditation there is pre- scented to it's vision an example a deferential homage and bourne in upon | it's ears as a living testimony a spon- taneous tribute to the worth of mother and wife that tend to the highest en- | thronement of mother as her lawfui | place in child life. Is it not to be eN- pected that the true wife occupying
 .he first place in the husbands es- teem should by him be led into first 1 place in the child's esteem? The place that mother occupies is hers by ulVlhe right, by the exercise of neither mere sentiment nor passion but the express
 sion of a principle of life inwrousht l Into our very being.
 "Has the mother through experience

demonstrated her right to the position assigned her by her Lord? The testi- mony of this day and the abiding af- feetion of the world are given her not because by divine appointment she oc. cupies a lofty sphere. but because her character and her conduct have nobly met the high task her Maker bestowe1 upon her.
 But this day has deeper meaning to us than the mere eulogizing of a mothers love It will lose it's fragrance and be robbed of its charm if the les sons of motherhood are not vitalized in life
 ITO the mother herself may it not be said that God designed her to be his chief helper in the rearing of char acter. The place of honor is the moth CTS place. Like all places of honor 1t has it's responsibilities. How can The mother who grasps the dignity con ferred upon her by the Lord, and who is conscious of the strength of the tie which binds her child to herself re- frain from erecting in the home the family altar to the glory of God9 The atmosphere of every home should be distinctively religious. Under no oth er conditions are the functions of moth- erhood fully realized The primary pur- pose of the mother is the spiritual eou- cation of her children. The intimacy of the relation between the two t1- gether with the long years of tutelage find their meaning in spiritual attain ments.
 Altars In the Home
 "In every mothers home there is at altar. Sometimes it is the altar of i'm difference at which the child bows and then enters life to be negligent of the interests both of God and man. Sor,e- times it is the altar of fashion and at that altar with ceaseless devotion nj ght and day exclusive homage is paid the fleeting things of life while the grac $ of the soul-purity of heart spiritual- ity of desire, unceasing love of holi- ness. growing interest in religious shemes-are utterly ignored. Some times it is the altar of wealth erect cd in the home. Rowing at that altar the atmosphere created tends to the development only of a spirit of worldly acquisition that discerns no value in the strengthening of the royal qual- ities of the soul.

house on an alley near the corner Of
King and Beretania streets, was found
with two bullet wounds in his head.
Both bullets ranged downward
through the brain and lodged in the
neck. That the shots were fired at
close range was proved by powder
