HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST

Wait Outside the Camp
Grounds.

While the mobilization of a certain
Illinois regiment was under way w0m-

friends of the Guardsmen flocked 10
the camp in such numbers that neces-
sary work was hampered. Thereupon
1t Is reported the colonel issued or
ders that only one woman should be
allowed TO visit each member of the
regiment.
One OF the Guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approached the
camp In company with his mother, q
sister and his hancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered:
you can take in only one. It's up
to you to choose"
The young man looked for mo-
ment at the three, and then said,
another"

this is done mother will never get

that the young Guardsman will make
q worse husband than if he had chosen
his sweetheart. A man who can APP
preciate his mother may be expected
to take good care Of his wife.
