MOTHERS LETTERS

A prisoners regard for the spirit
of his mother is one of the most
contents of Good Words,
the Atlanta federal penitentiary peri
odical.
The story is entitlef"A Packet of
Letters" and its author is unnamed.
"In looking backward" it reads.
there Is often bitter sweet joy,
however much the motto of the pres
ent day calls us to press forward.
What a charm the packet Of letters
contains. The scent of the rich red
roses of a happy day clings around
those filaments Of paper. Radiant
memories of tender association per-
fume the faded writing.
"As you open one, surging thoughts
come rushing down the chasm Of an
unbridged past, forming link with
the present. In moment, at a
glance, the joys and sorrows and all
the shifting changes. of sunlight and
shadow on the written page are a
part of you. They speak of emotions
as deep as the we'll of life itself.
Memory wakes with all her busy
train
How we'll you recall the day when
you shone in the eyes of a mother as
you told her of triumph and read
to her what others had said in praise
Of your character and ability. How
well do you remember how supremely
first to her was that reference to
your character. Will you ever for
get the love light in those eyes now
perhaps, it may belong since
closed on earthly scenes? Such words
were only for a mothers heart to
feast upon. None but mother could
take such darling delight in them.
"All the noblest and best within
you rises responsive to that mothers
hope and faith and love for her boy
Her prayers for you are gloried with
the light of her sacrificing love
Again, in her devotion, she crowns
you king among men, What love
it is, believing naught but good, hop
ing the best, enduring all things
without murmur for her boys sake
"Ah, my friend, what an inherit
ance blesses that storm wrecked lif,
of yours! How secure your future i
you follow her beckonings as wheI
boy you rushed to her knee. TIL,
stars in their course CLEAN WELDON,
for you. The truest in life is yours
The mother spirit never ceases t,
watch over you."s

TOWARD THE LAST ,OF>THE
EPIDEMIC

1t was a hot, thick day near the
end of summer, and she had stopped
the baby carriage in the shade of a
warehouse where breeze was stir
ring and far enough around the cor
neB to escape dust from traffic in the
big street. Baby brother was so
plump and clean that he shone like a
new tin pan, his pillow and covers
were older than he apparently, but
quite as spotless. The coarse netting
that screened his infant slumbers
had been mended and washed and
darned again and was tucked secure
ly in to defy all roaming insects. Big
sister sat on little folding chair
alongside in all the dignity that nine
years and much scrubbing could mus
ter, and gave the rest Of her atten-
ton to needlework. If there are
guardian angels, she was one. II
care, courage and watching love can
ward off human ills, her brother was
surely safe.-Collier's

THE THEATRE PARTY

A theatre party is group COM
posed Of two types of people; those
who have seen the play an absurd
number of times and those who
would give anything not to see it.
The performance selected is usual
a musical comedy. This has come to
mean nowadays an entertainment
having no music and which Is not
comic.
The chief characteristics Of the
ater party are two suffering chaper-
ons, one of either sex, number of
young ladies who constantly inter
rupt the dialogue of the play, and an
equal number of young men, some of
whom read the programs, yawn or
sleep, while others flirt with the
chorus.
When attending musical show it
is modish to keep time with the or
chestra by tapping smartly the back
of the seat in front of you. Frequent
ly many of the party have seen the
performance before and know the
music fairly we'll. 1t is de rigueur in
this case to join in the choruses OF
the various songs and effectually
drown the voices Of the actors.

FROM PERSIA TO KANSAS

It's a long way from Persia to
Kansas, nearly half way around the
world, even as the crow flies. Yet
this is the distance alfalfa travelled
from Persia, the place Of its birth, to
Kansas, the place of its most effectu-
al fruition. It's a long time from
500 B. G. to 1859 A. d. Yet this is
the time that elapsed from the date
of the earliest extant record of al
falfa to the date of the plants first
entrance into Kansas,
1t was in the land of Media, we'll
watered, fertile, and wealthy coun-
try in what Is now northern Persia,
that alfalfa had its ancient home.
The first word of the botanical name
of the plant, Medicago saliva, is a
Renaissance of the ancient land of
the Modes, of whom we read so much
in the Old Testament Scriptures in
secular history. The word "sativa"
means cultivated. In England, where
words last longer than in the United
States, the name purple medic, 4"
suggesting both the origin and the
color of the flower of the plant, is
commonly applied to alfalfa.
Alfalfa played in its travels the
part of the leisurely tourist, who
travels about the world, stopping
now here, now there, as his health or
fancy may suggest. Alfalfa zig
Jagged across Asia to Europe, into
Africa, then back TO Europe again,
and up and down and across North
and South America. 1t tarried for
centuries in some countries, such as
Greece and Spain, before proceeding
again on its way. Occasionally 1t lost
ground by venturing into a region OF
unfriendly soil and climate, such as
New York, or into country, such as
Mexico, where the people. did not
know how to treat it. Sometimes the
seed was carried by men, at Other
times by birds, while in other cases
the way it made its journey is un
known.
Alfalfa finally reached Kansas
where it found the conditions more
suitable, perhaps, than in any othel
land it had visited in its more thai
twenty centuries of wandering. In
Goed, SO successful has the plant beer
crown IN this state that many per
sons who have not read history care
fully have not unnaturally drawn tn,
inference that alfalfa originated il
