What De Morgan Might Have Done.

II am ever privileged to meet Mr..
De Morgan In some afterwOrld of
shades where even a critic may look
at a creator and find forgiveness for
his own sins shall want to say: Dear
and honored sir, there is one thing for
which some Of US are not going to for
give you. You were one of the very
greatest and most delightful Of our en-
tertainers and in these latter days per-
haps the most heartening Of all, for
while others chose to rant or fume or
doubt or vilify you chose only to give
Us pleasure unmixed with pain. But
why, with all your wit and all your
wisdom, with all your command over
the very founts of laughter and of
tears-why, when you were the only
man in the world who could justly
have dreamed of such labor of love,
did you not finish what your great
elder brothers had begun? Why did
you not give us the missing chapters

Edwin brood 2 Wilson Follett in

The Unnamed Luddites,

It was a curious slip that saved the
old time machine wrecking Luddites

Death for all the offenders seemed in
evitably predestined But old Father
Antic, the law, came with benevolent
guile to their aid. The threatened firm
was described In the indictment as
"proprietors of silk and cotton manu-
factory" The acute mind of the flu
ture Lord Chief Justice Denman seized
on a flaw. THE firm are in reality
he urged, manufacturers Of silk lace
and of cotton lace" Note the fine dis
tinction. They ought to have been
described as 'proprietors of silk lace
and of a cotton lace mandatory y
he said. y merciful judge, more so
Hcitous for lives than law. upheld the
objection, and those Luddites died IN
hanged.-London Chronicle.

The Unexpected Happens.

Remember, don't you, what Bob Bur
dette, the humorist, said about that
military fop he laughed at on one Occa-
sion?
Clean, well pressed uniform, gloved
hands, flowing cravat, polished boots!
This young cavalry officer was direct
ing the unloading Of a cargo of army
supplies.
I heard Burdette say he thought II
a crime to intrust his own life to the
leadership Of such a bandbox soldier.
But a little later, when the Confed-
crate horsemen appeared, this Union
dandy electrified his own men as,
mounted upon a fine steed and with
flashing sword, he led the charge.
IL was George A. Custer!
We have biblical authority for this
Judge not according to the appear
ance."-Girard in Philadelphia Ledger

Gov. Cats finds the people of ITALIA,
hassee very discourteous and threat

term is over. The people of ITALIA
hassee are noted for their crude ways
and discourteous manner toward Wis

friction between them and Mr.. Cats
is sure to be their fault Orlando is

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS

A friend of ours sends US the fol-
lowing pen picture of his mother, and
we gladly publish it, as tribute to
all mothers, and close description
Of several we have known:
There are no memories of childhood
that are more sweet to me than those
of my Christian, patient, Industrious
mother. She was the mother of ten
children, eight of whom are living
today, most of them having children
of their own. Six husky boys are
no small problem, yet my mother was
ever patient and kind. l can hear
her sweet voice now as she went
about her work singing the songs she
loved best. "The Sweet Bye and Bye"
BLESSED Home" Nearer My God, to
Thee" are songs with which she &C
companied her daily toll, and l am
very sure that she got inspiration
from them. Another favorite of hers
was "The Half Has Never Yet Been
Told" She seemed to commune with
her God by means of these old mel
odies, and / know that she was hap
pier in their singing than any world
famous singer when charming G vast
audience with choicest operate mas
terpieces. She never seemed to hurry
nor fret about things. She was placid
and never firing of her application to
her duties and always got thru with
her days work. She. always had a
place for everything. She had time
for everything. She seemed to do
everything by well regulated sched-
ule, and yet she could always stop to
minister to pain or sickness in her
family or in that of neighbor with
out seeming to neglect anything at
home. She was ever cheerful and
bright. She was as modest as the
virgin Mary. Not once in all my life
have | ever heard an unclean word
come from my mothers lips, nor did
she fail to rebuke us children if we
used "by words" or any expression
except clean English. She encouraged
correct expression. l recall many
many arguments we had around the
table or fireside as to which was the
correct way to use certain words.
This practice resulted we'll for us all
and | attribute more to my home
training than to any schooling / got
elsewhere. Never passed day that
my mother did not read her Bible at
least twice. While she did the morn
ing churning with one hand, she held
the Book of Books in the other,
cleaning from it's pages the things by
which she guided her daily life. She
always read before retiring. Instead
of a "siesta" In the early afternoon,
she rested in an old rocker, reading
her Bible meantime. Is it any Won
der she was kind, pious, patient and
Industrious? She was no religious
fanatic. She did not "shout" in
church nor did she make public testi-
monials of her faith in her God, be-
lieving that a woman's part was to
remain quiet in public. Yet no one
doubted her goodness. I have never
heard an unkind word spoken Of my
mother She is still living and brave
ly bears up under the cars of a home
and business, cares that have fall
len to her. She is living on "bor-
rowed time" but her mind is as
bright as new coin, her health is
perfect, all the result of right living,
living under the hollow of His
hand"
