The Westminster Gazette, one of the
best known and most conservative
journals in England, made use of q
strange expression in an editorial the
other day.
The editorial was a call for LOYALTY
and patriotism in the hour of Eng
lands aching need
"The disturbers of unity are cow
ards. We can frighten them ont OF
their miserable wits if we play the
man and woman and play it now.
Let us remember our fathers who
begat us"
Just one little year ago the West
minister Gazette would have said:
LET us play the man-and play it
now"
There would rave been no woman
in that or any other editorial of like
nature in any other English periodi-
cal of any sort.
What's happening to the world?
Why has 1t taken us so long to ad-
nit that women are a part and an
important part of the human race
And what is it that is forcing us to
admit it now?
1t has been the fashion for cen
turies to call women pretty towards
and to glory, in sort of absurd
fashion, quite rs much in their COW
ardice as in their beauty.
Yet every man in his own life has
known of more than one woman who
is anything in the world but a COW
ard. Any dentist, picked out at ran
dom in any office building will tell
you that it is easier to pull a tooth
for nine different women than for
one man. Any doctor of general prac-
tice, chosen from any street in any
city the world around, will tell you
that women bear pain better than
men.
They die with less fear, and almost
any boy who has been through a crisis
of any sort i'm his own family will
bear witness that at the crucial mo-
ment it was mother who held up her
head and said bravely: Wen have
TO face it somehow. Let's face it
now. together!"
When the house burned down and
all the furniture was destroyed, it
was not mother who went out and
got drunk, to forget.

While his mother was sick the doc

boy he had been and how all the
people in the village were blaming
him because he did so little to help his
mother
James stood with hanging head and
downcast eyes while the doctor was
talking. He thought of the night his
mother had asked him to take home
the work and he had refused and
many other things. for while his
! mother had been so i'll he had seen
what n good mother she had been to
him and how ungrateful he had been

and happiness.

James never again let his mother
work for him, and for many years
she did not need to work at all out

James was able to support both of

his thoughtlessness. &c 1916

James father was dead and his
mother had TO work very hard to
support herself and James. But James
did not think OF his mother and
how hard she worked; he thought
only of himself and his pleasure.
"I want some new skates this win
ter" he said, one morning. Cant
! you give me the money today,
mother?"
So his mother gave him the money
and James had his skates; but he
did not know that his mother sewed
without a fire every day that week
until it was time for him to come
from school and then she had it only
while he was at home.
James," said his mother one night
when he came in from play, 81 wish
you would eat your supper and take
that bundle of sewing home; my head
aches and I have some work that
must be finished before I go to bed

"Oh, don't want to carry bundles" :"
said James "None of the other boys
at school has to carry bundles. They
make fun Of me and call me bun
die boy. Can't you take it tomor-
row."
OF course, James mother should
have talked to him and told him how
, wrong his ideas were. but she loved
him so much she could not bear that
he should be unhappy, and when he
told her the boys made fun of him
she said no more.
After supper she cleared the table
and then put on her bonnet and took
the work home. James sat by the
table reading when she returned, but
no did not notice how pale she was
when she sat down beside him and
began to sew.

and went to bed and it was long
