How many of our readers think as
often as they should of their mother,
their dear old.fashioned mother? 9th
ar faces may fade away and be forgot
ten, but hers will SHINE on forever.
When in the litful pauses of life our
feet wander back to the old homestead,
and crossing the we'll worn threshold,
stand once more in the room so halloW-
ed by her presence, how the feelings OF
childish innocence and independence
overcome Us, and we kneel down in the
molten sunshine streaming through the
widow Just where years ago we knelt
by our mothers knee Iisping, "Our
Father" How many times when the
tempter hurried US Oh, has the memory
of those sacred hours, that mother
words, her faith and prayers saved US
from plungiug into the deep abyss OF
sin. Years have filled great drifts
between her and us, but they have not
hidden from our sight the memory OF
her pure uuuseltsh love. Dear old
fashioned mother.

People OF means and good taste may
make their homes perfect dreams o.

He was born in a small country town
in South Carolina, on a farm, attended
Benedict College for some time, came
to Chicago in 1892, entered the Athe
neaum Business College and completed
his course, afterwards entered the Hi
nois College of Law in 1901, finished in
1904 with degree of \. B.
Soon after coming to Chicago, Mr..
Williams entered the political arena in
the township of Hyde Park, and for
years he held a distinguished position
as deputy collector of Cook County in
the treasurer Office.
1t can be said of him that he has
made the most marvellous success since
coming to this city in politics, business
and law, which profession he is now
actively engaged in, located in one Of
the most coy suites of offices of any
member of the race in Chicago, at 1874
w. Washington street.
Mr.. Williams has the distinction of
retaining the same stenOgrapher for a
period of ten years, and remaining in
the same suite for the same period. He
has a magnificent practice which runs
into thousands per year, and among his
clientele are many white people. He
represents one white client, a florist
and real estate dealer, who is reputed
to be worth a half million dollars, and
he has given such explicit satisfaction
that this client has retained him for the
last five years, and pays him more than
one thousand dollars per year.
In business Mr.. Williams has many
connections He owns large numbers of
shares of stock and owns more than
$4,000 worth of real estate which is
located in Chicago, Michigan and
Canada.
In politics he has affiliated with Hon.
r. o. West for the last fifteen years,
and it can be said that his association
has been of the highest class, so much
so that when he decided to take up his

DR.. EDWARD S. MILLER

DIR. Edward S. Miller, who by his
upright and honorable conduct in all
the affairs Of life has made a lasting
name for himself in Chicago and
throughout the country, was born
August 81, 1858, on a farm in Garrard
county, Ky. In the course of time he
attended the public schools of Danville,
and after rounding out his education
in its schools he removed to Meadville,
Pa, in 1880, and further laid a strong
foundation in the way of receiving a
good education by taking a two-year
literary course in the best college in
Meadville, and while doing so he sup
ported himself by working around at
odd jobs.
From Meadville, DR.. Miller came to
Chicago, to pursue the study of medi.
cine, and on arriving in this city he
entered the Chicago Homeopathic Medi.
cal College, graduating from it with
high honors in 1898. In 1897 he took a
postgraduate in the Harvey Medical
College. Within a very short time after
finishing his medical education DR..
Miller established himself in the prae.
tiee Of his chosen profession, and know.
ing how to make friends right and left
he met with success without going
through that long period of starvation
like the most Of the doctors and lawyer,
do when they first hang out their

In her earlier days, Mrs. Warner, in
order to earn an honest living, assisted
her mother in the very humblest Oceu-
pations, and as a result of her early
training along that line she was taught
thrift and economy which has enabled
her not only TO own property on South
Dearborn street, already referred to,
but also beautiful home in which she
now resides at 1922 Calumet avenue.
She spends her leisure time in eultivat-
ing her intellectual and musical talents.
She is taking instruction on the piano
and rapidly acquiring the art of singing,
and she has appeared recently in re-
citals. She is now learning to be a
chauffeur. We are proud to state that
Mrs. Warnef has made her success in
