Feminine Fashions Blamed

FIVE years ago.
I first met him.
He looked like.
A statue in chalk.
His fingers.
Were stained yellow.
His eyes were hshlike.
But very shitty.
And he kept picking.
Nervously at his tie.
He was a Rum Hound.
And a Snow Bird.
In Broadway's jargot
Booze and Cocaine.
Had creased the skids.
For a hurried shoot
Down .Life's toboggan.
And he wanted to die.
But lacked the courage.
To kill himself.
And took him.
To see a friend.
Who has devoted his life.
To reclaiming the lost.
And the human wreck.
Set perspiring.
On the edge of the chair.
While we pleaded.
For higher resolves.
And he left US weeping.
The years have gone by.
without hearing from him.
Until the other day.
A well-dressed fellow.
With a springy step.
And a rosy complexion.
Came around to call.
1t was my friend.
Who had hit the bottom hard.
And bounced up again.
He's married now.
And lives in a village.
In the Middle West.
And he has a bank account.
And the respect,
OF all his neighbors.
And we walked on Broadway.
And my friend was silent.
Living over again.
The horrid nightmare.
OF misspent years.
And when I left him.
He gripped my hand.
And said: i've won the fight"
And I know he has.

Mothers Life.

One of our valued exchanges most
truly says your mothers life has not
been easy. Your father was a poor,
man, from the day she married him,
stood by his side, fighting as woman
must fight. She worked, not the eight
or ten-hour day of the union, but the
twentyfour day of the poor wife and
mother She cooked and cleaned and
scrubbed and patched and nursed from
dawn until bedtime and in the night
was up and down getting drinks for
thirsty lips, covering restless little
sleepers, listening for croupy coughs
She had time to listen to your stories
of boyish fun and frolic and triumph
She had time to say the things that
spurred your ambition on. She never
forgot to cook the little dishes YOU
liked She did without the dresses she
needed that you might not be ashamed
of your clothes before your fellows
Remember this now while there is yet
time, while she is vet living, TO paw
back to her In love and tenderness
some Of the debts YOU owe her. You
can never pay 1t all.

Were that the ease, one hundred thous
and men would rise to the rescue If
need be. Unfortunately, the losing of
the lad is without dramatic excitement,
though very sad and very real. The
fact is, his father lost him, Being too
busy to sit with him at the tireSidc and
answer his trivial questions during the
wears when fathers are the only great
heroes of the BOYS, he let go his hold
upon him. Yes, his mother lost him
Being much cugrosscd in her teas, din
ncrS and club program, she let the maid
hear the boy say his prayers and thus
her grip slipped and the boy was lost
to his home. Ave, the church lost him.
Being SO much occupied with sermons
for the wise and elderly who pay the
bills, and having good care for dignity,
the minister and elder were unmindtul
of the human feeling of the boy in the
pew, and made no provision in sermon
or song or manly sport for his boyish-
ness, and so the church and many sad
hearted parents are now looking earn
estly for the lost boy-Author unknown.

HOME.

Our nature demands home. II is the
first essential element Of our social
being, which cannot be complete with
out the home relations, There would
be no proper equilibrium of life and
character without the home influence.
The heart, when bereaved and disap-
pointed, naturally turns for refuge TO
home life and sympathy. There is a
mothers love and a fathre s influence,
the loving brothers. and sisters. Oh,
what is life without these? Our habits,
too, are under the moulding power of
home. Every young woman should feel
that just what she is at home she will
appear otherwise, everybody will soon
see through the attempt. All the duties
and labors of home, when rightly UNI
derstood, are so many means of i'm
prOvement. To love home with a deep
and abiding interest, with view to its
elevating influence, is to love truth and
right, heaven and God. The grand idea
of home is a quiet, secluded spot, where
loving hearts dwell, set apart and de-
dicated to improvements.

VERY VALUABLE CROP

harvested and sold 20 the oil mills. II
thus contributes 10 the food supply
Twenty bushels Of seed per acre IS a
reasonably good yield and at the pres
ent prices is fairly rcmuncrativc when
the low cost at which the crop may be
grown is considered. Probably the
greatest value Of the SOY bean, on the
whole however, is as a forage crop
Plant thick in the row when grown foI
this purpose and cut for hay. It makes
a feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay The harvesting period is usually
the latter part of August or the first OF
September, when the chances are good
for fair weather. Difficulty is frequent
" experienced in obtaining good seed
for planting, and a poor stand Of SOY
beans is common. To guard against
this, the germiuative quality of the
seed should be tested before planting
and the planting should be done with
care. Failure will be the result if the
land for SOY beans is poorly prepared
The land should be well plowed and
pulverized, and the seed planted not
more than one inch 10 one and one
half inches deep. On poor land the
rows should be from two to two and
one-half feet wide, and on fertile soil
from three to three and one-half feet
Planting should be done with a corn or
pea planter and about one-half bushel
of seed used per acre. If properly
planted no hoeing should be required
by this crop and it will need only two
or three civilizations. Plant the Nam
