Tribute, to Fitch L. Allen at First Church Prayer Mestins-A Good Man Widely Mourned Summer Homes to be opened-Rebert Albert Able to Leave Hospital.

 The subject of the Thursday even ing prayer meeting at the First Con- gregational church was drawn from parts of the first, second and third chapters of Ephesians, and these pass ages were descriptive of the life of Fitch L. Allen, who was an almost constant attendant upon this midweeiz meeting. Mir. Allen built his life up- on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief Cornerstone. By faith Christ dwelt in his heart and SO he was able to comprehend with all saints that love of Christ which passeth knowl- edge.
 Not since the death of A. W. DicIxey .Gt,, So.. nsa1~naS LIFE people lost a friend who was almost like one of each home circle so that the grief on the street where he lived. the church where he Forshipped, is allied to the sorrow in his own loved home.

THE ORDINARY WOMAN.

The husband Of the ordinary woman
has not the gift of making money. He
works hard but is poor manager and
the wolf never gets far from his door.
The good wife sews, cooks and mends
for the man who does not even give
her kind word for pay. One has most
tWthfully said that for each of her
children she trod the Gythsemane of
woman, only to go through that slavery
of motherhood which the woman en-
dures who is too poor to hire compe-
| tent nurses. For years and years she
never knew what il was to have a
single nights unbroken sleep. The
small hours OF the morning found her
walking the floor with a sick babe,
1 or putting water to thirsty little lips.
There was no rest for her day and
night. There was always child in
her arms or clinging to her skirts. Of
tener than not she was sick and nerve
worn and weary almost to death but
never failed to rally to the call of
mother! AS a good soldier always
rallied to his battle.cry.
Nobody called her brave and yet,
when one of the children came down
with malignant diptheria she braved
death one hundred times in bending
over the little sufferer, without one
thought of danger, and when the lit
tie one was laid away under the sod,
she who had loved most was the first
to gather herself together and take
up the burden of life for the others.
These ordinary women may not re-
ceve Carnegie badge for bravery,
but "He who marks the sparrow's
fall'' will certainly reserve for them
the brightest jeweled crowns in His
kingdom.

Children are carefree and merry and

Children are carefree and merry and
seem not TO notice much that passes
before them, but they see deeper into
life and people than we realize. They
study expression; then weigh motives,
they judge and honor or despise their
elders according TO their deserts. For
better or for worse each child is be-
ing educated by his home surroundings
and is receiving the indelibie stamp
that develops into the stable character
OF manhood. II the atmosphere OF
the home is cruel cold, critical, de-
ceitful, vulgar, ignoble-so viii tie
child be who breathes and grows In
tie atmosphere. II the character OF
the home is kindly, gentle, sincere
honorable, truthful, charitable ard
high minded--so will the children be.
1t is difficult TO believe, but we really
are known by our children. 1t is rot
what we say, IL is not what we wish
others to think .of us, but what we
really are, that is discerned by the
clear eyes ~ childhooi

MIXING Concrete.

To the casual bystander the mixing
of all concrete may seem to be the
same process repeated over and over
again according to the same formula.
This Is not so, however, as different
proportions of ingredients are used for
the different purposes which the fin
ished product must serve. Partlcu-
larly Is this so In the case of concrete
roads. To determine the durability of
this or that mixture in actual service
engineers have devised apparatus by
which the wear on concrete road SUR
face from year to year can be deter
mined to one-thousandth of an inch.
The results of such tests will not inn
prove the condition of the particular
road on which they are made. but they
will indicate how better roads may be
built In the future.

First Machine to Make Shoes.

The first step toward the production
of machine-made shoes was taken by
Thomas Saint, an Engllshman, ln 1870.
when he patented a sewing machine
that embraced all the principal ideas
later developed to such high efficiency.
1t was soon found his invention would
stitch leather as well as cloth. and the
machine was adopted to some extent
by shoemakers for simple operations
hitherto done by hand. But 1t was a
very different and difficult matter to
find device that would stitch soles
and uppers together. Nothing of i'm
portance was accomplished until 1853.
when Lyman II. Blake, an American,
patented machine for that purpose.
From that time forward almost every
Improvement in the manufacture OF
machine-made shoes has been the re-
suit of American inventive genius, un-
I'll even the smallest details of shoe
making are executed by mechanical
means.

TEE GOOD HOUSEWIVES.

IL E GOOD HOUSEWIFE.
Employing all the shining hours
In true domestic art,
And using all her given powers
To do her chosen part.
She sweeps and dusts and cooks and
bakes,
Without minutes waste,
Achieving all that living makes,
Just TO her dear ones taste.
In habits and 10 person neat;
In disposition kind,
Her voice soft, tender, low and sweet,
Bespeaks a balanced mind.
Her children, bright, polite and clean,
And trained in wisdom's ways,
Are sure to loathe what's false aud
mean
In all their mortal days.
And she creates the air of home,
The heartstone's blessed light;
And wheresoe'e err her loved ones roam
Her counsels guide them right.
IT'S heavenlike where she abides,
The faithful, true housewife?
And when she pilots, safely glldes
Along the bark of life.

You cannot look into the cradle and
read the secret message traced by a
divine hand, and wrapped up in that
bit of clay, any more than you can
see the North Star in the magnetic
needle. God has loaded the needle OF
tnat young life so it will point to the
star of It's own destiny; and though
you may pull it around by artificial
advice and unat1ral education, and
compel it to point to the star which
presides over law, art, poetry or med
icine, or your own pet calling until
you have wasted years OF a precious
life, when once free, the needle flies
back to its own star.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR AND AIEE[D
MARSHAL At OUTS '0ER A Reforms

London. May i4.--Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg will probably
make announcement OF the central
powers terms in speech TO the
reichstag tomorrow, an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam
asserted today. The German chan
cellor has Just returned to Berlin
from a series OF conferences with
officials In Vienna. Prior TO this he
went to German Great Headquarters
for a conference with Emperor Will
helm.
That section OF the German press
which is hostile to Won Bethmann-
Hollweg declared today that the
chancellor recently went to the front
to present his resignation to the
kaiser, The most circumstantial OF
these stories insisted that Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg raised storm
OF objection to the reform recon-
mended by the constitution commit
tee. which would grant the reichstag
control over the army and that he
and his friends conceived the plan OF
multiplying the committees rcommen-
dations by terminating the reichstag
sitting. rather than recessing the
body until later in the summer or
fall. Such procedure would mean
automatic death Of the constitution
committee, necessary for re-appor-
tlonment and repetition OF its work
which would avert another Issue
between the reichstag and the army
for several months.
Hollweg flatly refused to take
such n course. insisting German lib
erals could not be held In check II
such a trick were played upon them
He was said to have announced an
ultimatum to the emperor that he
would resign II such n scheme were
attempted and to have won out over
Won Hindenburg.
