WOLF Run.

AOLF RUN, May 10-Another
hn memorial day has slowly fad
from our vision but it leavesa last
remembrance of fond loving
ther. One Of the most noblest
Is Governor Hatfield ever did was
q designate a day known as Mothers
DAY in our beautiful little mountain
State. A beautiful program Of
songs, recetations and select readings
was rendered to the memory of our
cherished mothers at the Baptist
church near Huffman, Sunday after
noon, a large crowd was present and
helped to observe that day above all
days Mothers Day" Some of those
present had seen a dear old mother
pass out upon the silent trail, and all
wore the white earnation In memory
of one so dear. In nearly all cases
mothers love and inspirations is
never regarded until she has crossed
the great mystic river into the great
beyond. From the dawn Of history
down to the present time, great men
have acknowledged the boundless
debt they eve TO angel mother, for
their greatness. Mother is the
sweetest and most angelic person
that ever graced this fair land of
ours# Abraham Lincoln said the day
he became president of the United
States, "All am or ever hope to
be owe to my angel mother" Think
this over gentle reader, and consider
whether you have been treating
mother right.

Popular Poverty.

Katie, aged seven, was the only child of Mir. and Mrs. Jones. One day, when the new minister called, Katie. upon her own invitation, went into the par Tor to entertain him until her mother came down stairs. As she approached the parlor door, Mrs. Jones heard the minister ask Katie how many children her mother had, and was very much surprised to hear her little daughter reply "six."
 Her mother wisely made no comment upon the startling reply of the child, but sent her out to play, and when the minister's visit was over she asked Katie why she had told him that her mother had six children, and was more dumfounded than ever when Katie said, Because. I did not want the strange gentleman to know that you were so poor that you didn't have but one child. d."-National Monthly.

What fatigues and annoys us is not our work, but the mental fric- tion. nervous strain. muscular tension. emotional wear and tear which we all low to accompany our work. A real man is always machine while on the job, never machine at any other time. Recipe for efficiency: Be a plodder by day and poet by night.

 John Bull.

"John Bull," a popular epithet for An Englishman, as personification of what is supposed to be the English type, is derived from prose political satire by Dr. John Arbuthnot, who used the name in his History of John BulT' Q712, reprinted complete in "Popes Miscellanies" in 172S). The subject of that history is the Spanish succession during the reigns of Queen Anne and Louis XIV" Queen Anne is Mrs. Bull.''
 John Bulls mother" is the church of England, and "John Bulls sister Peg" is the Scotch nation, represented as in love with Jack (Calvin. The de- scription of Bull is so close to the familiar figure in the pages of Punch that a sentence or two may be quoted: Bull in the main was an honest and plain dealing fellow, choleric, bold and of a very inconsistent temper. He dreaded not old Lewis GIouis XIV0, either at back sword, single falchion or cudgel play, but then he was very apt to quarrel with his best friends, especially if they pretended to govern him. If you 1attered him you might lead him as child"

Tho Panama Canal.

The Panama canal was suggested for the isthmus of Panama as early as 152O by Angel Saavedra, but for q long time all such suggestions met with determined opposition from Spain, which made it a capital offense to seek or make known any improve ment on the existing route from Porto Bello to Panama. More recently Louis Napoleon, when a prisoner at Ham, spent much time considering the practicability of such a scheme It was not. however, until the Cali fornia gold rush of 1S49 that any ac- curate knowledge of the typographical conditions was obtained, and even then thirty more years elapsed before the actual site was chosen by an inter. national body and the work begun.

VALDEZ GIRL TAKES
 WRONG MEDICINE

 Kewoen of this city. Realizing in
 stantly that something was wrong
 Mrs. Kewoen called to her mother
 Mrs. Boyle, and an antidote was promptly given. Dr. Dalton was call ed and alcohol and whites of eggs were given in large quantities so that the young woman was soon out of danger. The accident happened al midnight and no lights were on in the bed room so that the mistake of taking the poison instead of the cough medicine was easily made. Mrs. kewoen is resting easy today and is said to be out of all danger

Sleep and Poetry.

An exchange recommends the read ing of fAe, soul felt poem before re- tiring for the nights rest. It tends to compose the soul and put it in har- mony with the truth and goodness of things. A novel will not do that, nor
 a newspaper, nor anything that sets
 the mind in fihtter Reading poem one of the good old kind that gets into the heart and has nice time
 there-is like floating down quiet
 stream. past the fragrance of flowers
 and the songs of the birds. Never had
 that experience. eh! How very shift less, indeed.
 Did you ever try reading Snow bound" on an evening when the snow was piling up the silence deep and white!' Well, try it. Whittier will
 give one something for any evening. Tennyson's "Idyls" are a little more
 argent, but they are as tranquilizing as a gentle arm around you. Words worth is great, but takes too much thought; Browning, too, and Lowell, but Longfellow not so much. But as easy as smiling is the humorous kind,
 like Riley. But there are hundreds of poems floating about as sweet as q bush of roses. Take them in and read
 them before going to bed. A good one will last week. Like song, they improve with age.-Columbus Journal.
