bowed twice, Papa bowed thrice,
and being as lean as the worthy
baron was fat, he could bow just
twice as far in half the time.

with his all fair ease, looking
down at her upturned face, and
she answering him with that air
of distinction, of whimsical appeal
and caressing which she could
use.
Virgil was watching them also.
l saw the dumb usefulness of the
man who had given his youth to
fighting years and had, along the
way, forgotten something that
might have made them fairer. He
did not dance; he declined both
the baron's studied opportunities
and Laure's testing glances.
Presently I saw the baron sig
nal the girl, shrug that indicat-
ed Williams. And she seemed to
hesitate, watching across her fan;
and then, at a more decided and
silent request from the old man,
she slipped across to Virgil. She
tapped his sleeves, with a smile.
He turned. startled at the mani
fest invitation.
"Ah, II you won't dance with
me, come try the sherbet ami

POORLY PAID PEOPLE.

A newspaper man, a preacher and a
school teacher are the three poorest
paid professions, according to news
paper comment which has arisen in
Georgia, especially as far as the Au-
.gusta Chronicle and Editor John F.
Shannon, of the Commerce News, are
concerned.
AS for US, we must insist that the
newspaper man comes first in service
rendered-of its kind, and last in the
amount of pay. The following editor
ial from the Augusta Chronicle is in

Editor Shannon, of The Commerce

termine whether money is the basis of
success or not 1t is on the contrary,

MOTHERS DAY.

Next Sunday, May 14th, will be OBJ
served all over the country as Moth
er's Day."
This is beautiful custom that has
come into practice in the past few
years, and which grows in popularity
and observance each year. And to our
mind there is no day that we observe
that is more beautiful in thought OF
more consecrated in the doing than
this day, for what is more fitting than
that we should one day in each year
pay tribute to the mothers of the
country.
The custom is to wear white earn,
ton or a white flower of some kind in
honor of mother. The same general
plan will be followed, but in some In
stances new innovations will be re.
sorted to and the practice will be more
resorted to this year than heretofore
In many places in addition to the
regular methods of observance special
services will be held that will appeal
most directly to men and they will be
urged to attend these services. Both
Sunday schools and churches will ex-
ert every effort to secure extra large
attendances on this day. The schools
will use every effort to secure large
attendance of mothers, but added
beauty and strength will be given the
occasion where large numbers of men
can be had to swell the congregations
thus adding honor and dignity to the
spirit that prompts the days observ.
ance.
AS another special feature of the
day it is suggested that all persons
who find themselves away from home
should be urged to enter into the zest
and spirit Of the occasion by wearing
a flower in honor of the mother from
whom they are absent or who may be
dead, and to those living it is suggested
they make it a point to write letter
o. send telegram so that it will reach
them on this day.
1t is beautiful thought and should
be appropriated by those away from
their mothers. Mother will be pelased
and you will be the happier for having
shown your love and appreciation in
thus remembering her.

men we have learned that duty comes
first, regardless of reward; but we
did feel bit inclined to contrast the
work and talents of some of the good
newspaper men that we have known
with that of other men in other call
iags, to show that the newspaper pro-
fession, as a whole, is not even ade-
quately compensated with little
or no opportunity for its members to
lay up for rainy day, or for the even
ing of life.
I'VE think Editor Shannon rather
admits the point as to the weekly edi-
tors-even IL he does miss it a mile as
to those engaged in the daily field
when he says:
From experience and observation
I'VE know that all country editors were
doomed to fill paupers grave but
honestly we did think that the editors
of the great dailies fare better. The
average country editor thinks he is
coming gold, if he can get from eight
to ten dollars a page for advertising,
while the dailies scoop in from one to
two hundred per page
But, as for all that, it is true, as
Brother Shannon suggests that the
average newspaper makes larger
contributions to the good of the COM
muity than do many men who own
large fortunes" Yet the newspaper
man is not alone in this unrewarded
public service; for as Editor Shannon
points out, there are others in the same
boat-the preacher and the school
teacher. Neither of them working for
money, but for the good of mankind
and the glory of God. OF them, he
says:
'"This was especially true of the
ministers who lived half hundred
years ago-lived in the saddle and
preached every day in the week, re-
ceiving less than 5000 a year. They
lived poor and died poor, so far as this
worlds goods are concerned, and yet
they were rich in experience and in
fruitfulness and will live in the hearts
and lives of the people they served so
faithfully, long after they have been
dead. The school teacher is another
example. Where can a faithful. efic-
lent school teacher be found who has
made money? And who is it, what
class Of people on earth render a
greater service, more valuable ser
vice? And yet, with all their poverty,
the lives of faithful ministers and eff
icent school teachers have been sue
cAssful lives. The same is true of the
conscientious, competent newspaper
man. He fills sphere that no other
class of men occupy. He does a work
that no other man or agency can do.
He is a power for good in his COM
munity if he is an ideal newspaper
man. These three, the minister, the
teacher, and the editor are all in a
class to themselves. They are indis-
pensible to the public good, and yet
they live poor and die poor. The
preacher cleaves to his work because
he is called of God. The teacher be-
cause he, in most instances, is better
capacitated for that service than any
other The editor sticks to his Job be-
