DEMOCRATS TALK III OVER.
Supporters OF Harrington and Lee
Equally Confident of Victory I'm
Primary Fight. :.

The meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee Wednesday
at the Rennert, Baltimore, was pleas
antly brief and -perfunctory. The
selection of September IL as the date
man Murray Vandiver was authoriz-
ed to name the date Of the State con
ventiOn, and the number OF delegates
to the convention from each OF the
counties and legislative districts was
ordered to be equal to the delegation
Of each unit in the Legislature. After
ward, there was the usual luncheon.
The real business of the party PEG
pie was to ascertain the conditions
In the Gubernatorial fight between
Senator Blair Lee and Comptroller
Emerson G. Harrington.
After it was all over, most OF them
probably knew as little as before.
The Smith Harrington people were
absolutely sure that the fight was
over; that they had from So votes to
80 votes outside or Baltimore and that
they would carry at least two dis
tricts in Baltimore the Lee-Preston
people were absolutely sure that they
had 10 votes outside OF Baltimore.
Singularly, there was much less
than the usual bluff about the asser-
tons OF the respective sides. There
seems to be no doubt that the lead
ers of each element really believe
they will win decisively.
The Smith-Harrington people were
jubilant over the evidences that there
is a strong anti-Lee movement in
Baltimore And the truth iS that
there were more city men about the
Rennert lobby opposed to the city or
ganization and able to make their OPP
position count than has been usual
1t looked, too, as if the city organi-
cation leaders realized that they had
more of fight than ordinarily.

I'm the Old sBob. Nelson Days.

What sleep can do, when sleep comes
so
TO lay Its finger, soft and slow
Upon the eyes that looked I'm ours
Way-ofr somewhere I'm lands OF flowers
That memory still keeps fresh and
dear!
What sleep can do! That 1T should
fall
Upon such eyes as his at all
But, falling, all may all its sweet
Unto his dreamless soul repeat
The grace, the fondness and the
praise,
That memory whispers through life's
tear,
When We think Of the old Bob" Nell
son days!
Good cohorts of the old machine
Ere motor cars came on the scene,
And cyclers out In Sunday hordes
Made that dear day which IS the
Lords
a day of pilgrimage wheel
Up hill and down and over fords,
To Ridgeville, where with hearts
They knew they'd dine with Uncle
Bob
All, messmates of that table groaning
With all the food I'm life worth owning
Take with me in this hours sad spell
The comfort of last FAREWELL
What sleep can do! Ah, birds, sing on,
To choir him to blue heavens OF dawn
Not bread, but kindness, his STAFF!
What sunshine Is his wholesome
Taught
What generous spirit Ia his heart
A host who stood unmatched, apart,
Just taking for his share or things
The thought that he had pleased
kings
Content in sharing all he had
TO make the friends be made feel glad
Oh, comrade of the long-lost days,
Not yours the ears to hear this praise,
But ours the lips to sing it ere
The dusty shades OF memory fall,
AS from each Borrowing eye a tear!
Oh sleepl but not beyond recall:
To those who still down AT our ways
Dream OF the old Bob" Nelson days!

Att Were Busy.

"a physician started a modern in
sane asylum, says the New York SUN,
and set aside one ward especially for
the crazy motorists and chauffeurs.
Taking a friend through the building
he pointed out with particular pride
the automobile ward and called at
tention to its elegant furnishings and
equipment.
But" said the friend, 1.-THE place is
empty; L don't see any our numerous
patients"
"Oh, they are all under the cots

the physician.

Br'er Fox and the Bunny,

Once upon time there was a hen
who, In order to be exclusive OF her
friends Of the barnyard, built her nest
up the road in a thicket under the
fence and started in to raise brood
Of chicks.
Everything worked fine. but one
moonlight night there came sudden
stop. for down the road came q fox.
nosing from side to side. till all Of u
sudden he spied in the moonlight In the
grass the head of Mother Hen on her
eggs. Quick as fash he grabbed her
by the neck and dragged her of the
nest, and away up the lane he went.
Sooth to say. 1t looked bad for the eggs
in the nest But up from the barn In
the lane came looping along, nosing
from side to side, little brown bunny.
when suddenly he lighted on the vacant
nest. Creeping closer. be took in the
situation. the warm nest and nobody
home. Instead Of destroying them the
dear little fellow just placed his warm
body on the eggs and took the place
of the poor mother. kept them warm
all night. and the next morning. which
was Easter morn. he brought forth a
brood Of chicks.

Points
for
Mothers
The Mothers Authority.

Obedience that cannot be secured
without many repetitions, loud tones or
q threatening manner Is Of little value.
A prompt response to simple request
IL Of great value in securing an obedi-
ent habit of mind. For instance. If you
say. MARY, please close the door,"
Mary may do so Immediately without
waiting to finish something she may be
doing at the same time, or she may
dawdle along and wait for a repetition
Of the order and finally say. "Yes,
when ! get this DONE" or something
like 1t. In the child who responds
quickly Is seen one already on the
path to trained and instant obedience,
without servility. simply showing the
recognition of simple orders. most
valuable point in the education Of little
children.
In the other a careless habit of mind
Is noted, lax recognition Of the moth
er's authority. which should be held
always, in gentle ways. and which
must be recognized at first. In every
way. Abbott says in his Gentle Meas
ures In the Management Of the Young"
that there are three ways the mother
governs the child-first. by maneuver-
ing and artif1ce; second, by reason and
affection. and. third. by authority. He
also says that Of the three methods the
last is the only one which can be fol-
lowed either with comfort to the par
ent or safety to the child, and this
method can be brought effectually into
operation by gentle measures. 1t is,
indeed, true that the Importance Of
tact and skill in the training Of the
young and of cultivating their reason
and securing their affection cannot be
overrated. But the influences secured
by these means form at the best but
sandy foundation for fillal obedience to
rest upon. The foundation must he .
gentle but frm authority.

The Eqa and Easter.

A province Of the ancients is that
Everything springs from the egg"
Many writers assert that the custom
Of exchanging eggs was borrowed from
the Jewish use of eggs during the feast
of the Passover.
Others say that 1t Is traceable to the
fourth century. when the church pro-
hibited eggs during Lent. This gave
an abundance of eggs at Eastertide.

children. decorating them to make them
more attractive.
In Italy. 1t Is believed that scarlet
Easter egg. carried about the person
during the year will bring good luck.
The farmers believed that the land
over which an egg had been rolled
yielded plentiful harvests.

aahies Should Sleep Alone.

From the very dawn Of his precious
life the baby should sleep alone in his
own crib.
From the viewpoint of hygiene 1t is
the only plan. and it is. moreover. the
only possible way Of insuring comfort
able rest for either child or mother.
When the means are lacking at the
time Of baDy's arrival to provide a
bona tide crib very good one may be
improvised out OF an old fashioned
clothes basket. which has the advan.
taye Of being easily transported from
one room to another.
1t should be fitted from top to bot.
tom with n detachable lining Of white
null or dotted Swiss shirred over pale
blue cambria. The mattress should be
quite four inches thick and made to flt
the bottom Of the basket. and 1t should
lie well protected with rubber sheet.
Over this-nOt under it-should be
smoothly spread the usual white sheet
made preferably from piece of an
old sheet Of soft linen. and over this
again should come the washable pad
OF stOckinette.
There is no need of an upper sheet
as the baby will be wrapped in soft,
warm blanket before being laid In his
snug little nest. nor should pillow be
used, as he will be infinitely better off
without one
The cOverlet should be light Of
weight. but well wadded. with three
or four thicknesses of silkollne over
the cotton filling. Down filings should
never be used for baby's pillows or
coverlets. as the particles Of down.
filtering through the covers, will al
most certainly find their way into the
nostrils and mouth and thence into the
lungs and air passages.

letics and who was as enthusiastic as
he along these lines?
Where also could one find twenty
years ago the woman who played ten
mis- with her daughter, taught her to
golf and swim as well as sew and ac-
companied her to dances. not as a staid
chaperon. but as one who enjoyed dane
ing too?
And yet this type Of modern mother
exists in hordes today. She is no Gu
riosity. but a reality, who Is gaining the
companionship as well as the love of
the children she has brought into the
world. And who shall say that she
has not made of motherhood more
humane. a more understanding profess
sion than her dear old fashioned prede-
cessors who rocked the cradle and
