MOTHERS LOT IS TO WAIT
Life In Homebur0 Has lts Joys and Sorrows, With the Latter
 Predominatinp.

It's mighty hard to be mother of sons in Homeburg. l worked in the post office for a year once-handed out mail-and l got to know Just ex- actly what most of the mothers in town wanted. I could please them with a new magazine and mystity them with a circular or d business letter But if wanted to light them up until they took the shadows out of the corners as they went out l would give them letter from a son, way off somewhere making good. The best of them didn't write any too often. Once a week is pretty regular l suppose, from the other end, but you should see the mother begin to come in hun gry again the second day after her letter came And when a boy came home successful and prosperous, and his proud mother towed him down Main street 1t used to go to my heart to see the wistful looks of the woman friends There is hardly a family in Homeburg of the right age which hasn't q grownup son off at war some where - fighting failure It's grand when they win. but hate to think of some boys who haven't come back George Fitch in the American Maga- zine

Apropos of Gov Hays recent action in trimming the state appropriations the Ark ansas Democrat of Tuesday gives us a rousng editorial on economy in the wrong place. The opening para graph of the article reads as follows:
 Ideas of economy differ among of flee holders. as well as among ndlVld- uals. Some count It economy to spend q dollar in order to save dlme, some believe the spending of nothing. which means the saving of nothing also, k economy Some men believe that the spending of dollar in order to bring back two or three, or even more, Is economy.
 ''rhe latter class of men have been those who have builded cities and towns, who have erected great build ,ngs which have been dedicated to progress Their influences have been felt throughout the land, and men not only of their age have been benefited, but those of succeeding generations. They are the typical American busi- uess men. whose foresight and intell- gence have wrought this miracle of civilization which has placed the United States in the position of a world power m less than one hundred years.
 It Is fact that many people are too short sighted to discern the difference between wise and foolish economy. IL is not the amount of money expended which should be considered, but rather the returns which the investment will bring Penny wise and poand fool ssh applies too truly to many pubic officers. as we'll as private business in stitutions The ability to wisely spend money and gather good returns k what marks the successful man Of today, whether in private or public life. Any community. state or town. Is fortunate to have in it's positions of trust those men who are capable and progressive enough to wisely spend that the pres ent and future generations may profit thereby. Economical efficiency Is a good motto. but never economy at the expense of efficiency

Dust Clouds Armies Make.

An army on the march along dry roads naturally throws up very heavy dust clouds. To those who haven't been trained one dust cloud looks very much like another. but to a soldier these dust clouds tell a very clear story.
 The dust clouds thrown up by in fantry. for example hangs in a low. thick cloud The longer the cloud the more men underneath it, and a scout can. by this means. make fair ly accurate guess of the number Of men on the march.
 Cavalry on the march sends up q dust cloud that is much higher and thinner than that of infantry. The most distinctive of these dust clouds, however. Is that made by wagons and heavy guns The dust rises in little groups of clouds, quite different from the long clouds of cavalry and in fantry
 So even when unable to see the actual cause of the dust, scout can tell many miles away what kind of force IS passing along road

NOT AN IMPRESSIVE MONARCH
Napoleon ili, In Appearance, Isft Much to Be Desired, According
 to John Hay.

Short and stocky, he moves with a queer sidelong gait, like gouty crab; a man so wooden looking that you would expect his voice to come rasping out like a watchman's rattle. A complexion like crude tallow- marked for death whenever death wants him-to be taken some tune in half an hour, or left, neglected by the skeleton king, for years. perhaps, if properly coddled The mustache and imperial which the world knows, but ragged and bristly, concealing the mouth entirely. is moving a little ner- vously as the lips twitch Eyes sleep fly watChful-furtive, stealthy, rather ignoble. like servants looking out ot dirty windows and saving nobody at home" and lying as they say il. And withal d wonderful phlegm. He stands there as still and impressive as if carved in oak for a ships figurehead- He looks not unlike one Of those rude. inartistic statues Ills legs are too short, his body too long. He never looks well but on throne or on a horse as kings ought.-From the Diary of John Hay, Edited by w K Thayer for Harper's Magazine.

WHAT WILL We
DO WITH BOYS?

A man usually considers that the
only way he can show his patriotism
is to unite with one of the political
parties While this is not decried, at
the same time one may be patriotic
and still not be deeply interested in
politics.
Abraham Lincoln said: "No IL
brary is complete without two GER
tain books-the Bible and Shake
speare; hardly a quotation used in
literature that is not taken from one
Of these works."
Lincoln was very much interested
in politics but he did not let it take
his attention from the study of the
Bible as we'll as other good works
of literature.
One of the leading topics of dis
cussion at the present is caused by
the distribution of the new illustrated
Bible by The Pioneer. Everybody
wants to know how it is possible to
present such magnificent volume
on the terms explained in the certifi-
cate printed on another pages of to-
days issue. There is no secret about
it.
The only possible way to do it is
by taking advantage of quantity pro-
duction as it was necessary for the
publishers to do in supplying the
demand created by leading newspa-
pers throughout the country. There
are many editions of other Bibles, all
good in their way, but none of them
contain the beautiful pictures print
ed in with the type and each one
illustrating a particular subject. In
addition to these wonderful pictures
are numerous full-page color plates
from the famous Tissot collection.
These, together with copious margin
references, educational helps, SELF
pronouncing text and colored maps
make this volume of rare educa-
tional value.
While the SIS volume is by far the
most magnificent work of it's kind
ever printed, there is also 50 VOL
ume, exactly the same except for the
binding which is in silk cloth. These
two bindings are also furnished in
the Catholic edition in which the il
Illustrations consist of full-page plates
and maps, approved by the Church,
without the Tissot collection and
text pictures
Look for the educational certificate
printed on another page of today's
issue and clip it without delay.

At one time Ostend was a great fort.
ress looking out over the North sea
through her menacing loophole upon
the sails of Vikings. A century ago
Byron made his memorable flight, not
from. but to Ostend, in terror of van
dial bailiffs who were laying siege to
his mansion in Piccadilly. The poet
made the journey to Dover in his mag
niticent $500 coach, but had to wait
until storm abated before the mail

Disgrace To Maryland

Well authenticated reports inform
US that on June 9, at the dedication of
the new building at Springfield State
Hospital, known as the John Huber
Psycopathic building, the luncheon
was adorned with whisky punch
bowl. 1t is reported that at least ten
gallons of whisky were carried into
the dry county of Carroll in fragrant
violation of law, at the dedication of
a building which is to be used, in part
at least. for the treatment of alcohol
les and others whose mentality has
been disordered by the use of stimu-
lants.
We understand that among the visi-
tors on this occasion were number of
distinguished physicians from other
institutions outside the state and nu-
merous officials of the State of Mary
land. Is it any wonder that the liquor
interest should bend its energies to
the breaking dowE of laws passed in
the effort to prohibit or regulate the
liquor traffic when officials of the state
whose signatures are attached to said
laws, wilfully and flagrantly violate
the law themselves?
1t Is well known that this whisky
punch was served at this function and
that some of the guests drank too
freely. What sad commentary on
the purposes for which this institu-
ton was built ard on the further fact
that a large percentage of the in
mates at Springfield are there by
reason of drink.-EX.
