THE WAR MOTHER.
(By Larry Ho.)
TOR the boys who died upon the field OF
II Honor there will be glory enough; no word

-OR the boys who died upon the field OF
II Honor there will be glory enough; no word
will be left unsaid that can illuminate
their wonderful story. They died in the midst
of struggle and acclaim, urged on by all the
thrill of the wild moment that lured them with
the voice of destiny. But what of those whose
sacrifice must come il quiet way OF LIE Wnere
the silence and lonliness leaves them undefend-
ed from their memories? The Mothers! o the
Mothers of these boys! Let not forget them!
1t is so holy thing that one hardly dare speak
of it But can we look upon any Mother whose
son has become part of the immortal tradition
of this nation without tenderness of affection
that lifts us to the rapture of Reverence? God
bless her, wherever she is, the patient God
fearing heroic Mother whose grief has left with
in her soul memory that will outlast the years.
I think God to have looked into her face and
read there the high pride that death and sor-
row cannot conquer. AS she moves sere1ely
amongst us let US honor her and love her, and
share in her sacrifice and her glory, though it's
full meaning is hidden forever in her soul where
only God can see. Yes, it is holy thing, this
love of Motherhood which seems like the
love of God, born of sacrifice, and great enough
to suffer and be strong. Forever her little boy
may sleep upon her heart, serenely helpless in
her mothering care. The world will praise the
soldier hero; she will brood above the cradle of
his babyhood and listen forever to his little feet
along the floor and see his golden smile filling
the open door. She will be going her soft and
gentle ways, thinking of her boy in all things
of every little day. AS she passes us we will
feel stir of wings, and tremble little as in
the presence of divinity. For in the sight of
God she has become of the saints of the
ages. In the thought of men, and in the I'M
written traditions of our nation, she has become
a Mother of the Republic.

MORE ANCIENT HISTORY

The present issue of the Gazette is not to be
devoted entirely to ancient history but even at
the risk of being monotonous going to
reprint the following editorial which appeared
under the caption of ga Good Move in the Aug
ust issue of the Lyon-County Reporter, paper
of which Mr.. Michel was formerly an associate
editor and which his erstwhile partner Tom
Davis still edits, although the Of the pa
per has been changed. To repeat former
phrase, "In view of the events of the past week"
one of these events being the election of Mr..
Clague with a majority Of 900 votes over Mr..
Michel ga of this majority being given by
Mr. Michel's own county, we found the follow
ing item of interest.

The Democrats have some few things not alto
gether to their credit the past weeks but they
are not the Only ones! The Republicans down in
the Third are without doubt responsible for the
return of Chas Davis to Congress- place where
he has no earthly business to be-and if the Re-
publican of the state didn't vote the renegade
Mueller into office, who did? It might be as
well while we are sweeping our neighbours back
yard, to see if our own wouldn't be benefited
by few flirts of the broom.

was declared We wish to make this quite clear

1t may have been false rumor that started
the peace parade out in the rain last Thursday
afternoon, but it was a perfectly honest, one
hundred per cent parade and it did what it set
out to do-showed just how united we. all were
in wanting this peace and how when it came it
found us ready-even ready little ahead Of
time.

PRINCE WILLIAM.
Said to Be in Delicate Health and Likely Not
to Live Long.

New York. Nov PA local paper publishes
a statement by gentleman, said to be god
son of the crown prince of Germany, to the eff
feet that Prince William is an invalid and may
not long survive his father the Emperor. He
has chronic assesses of the ear, which constant
ly threaten meningitis brain inflammation.
The same disease made the late King of Prussia
insane, and finally caused his death Prince
Williams left arm was wthered at birth. His
general health is delicate. In case of his death
while reigning regency would be necessary,
as his son is but years old.
Mentally Depressed.
Vienna, Nov. 21.-Reports are current here
that the German crown prince has of late shown
signs of occasional mental depression. He has
written long letters to the prince of Wales, the
crown prince of Austria and the grand duke of
Baden.

deck and ordered that every effort be made tc
save the crew of the other vessel. All were
rescued except one boy, who was drowned.

THE REICHSTAG OPENED.
Substance of the Speech Delivered from the
Throne-Bills to Be introduced.


Throne-Bills to Be introduced.
Berlin Nov. 24.-The reichstag opened
today Minister Won Boetticher read the speech
from the throne. The speech was substantially
as follows: Germany in her foreign policy, has
successfully endeavored to strengthen the peace
of Europe by the cultivation of friendly relations
with all of the powers by treaties and alliances,
aiming to avert the dangers of war and to joint
" oppose any unjust attacks. Germany has no
aggressive tendencies; she has wants to be
satisfied through victorious wars. An unchrist-
tian disposition to surprise neighboring peoples
is foreign to the German nature and to the con-
stitution of the empire. The military organi-
cation of the country is not calculated to de-
stroy the peace of her neighbors by arbitrary
attacks. Germany is strong in parryi1g surpris-
es and defending her independence. She wishes
to become so strong that she can face with COM
posure every danger.
The resumption of the reichstag comes at a
serious time. The grave complaint with which

One of the most gratifying results Of the
election is the selection of Hon. Frank Clague
for judge. He carried his own county by over
1900, carried Lincoln, ran even in Lyon county,

Nicollet by small vote. He only lost Brown
County by 220 votes. Mr.. Clague will be an hon.

THE WORLD BULLY.

Can anybody remember the school bully who,
while picking himself up after surprise attack
was wont to whimper, "You'd better let me alone;
I'll get even with you some time" If so, that
person will enjoy this passage from an article
in the Berlin Vossische Getting, dealing with
President Wilson's reply:
It appears that we are at the stage when
it is still possible to warn the enemy that in
the history of the world it has often been
proved mistake to drive strong nation,
which in order not to venture its all offered
it's hand in peace, into summoning all it's
slumbering forces into the national battle.
Considering all the attendant circumstances,
this is worthy of the Berlin Fliegende Blaeter in
it's pa1miest days.-Christian Science Monitor.

is one mighty hard and close fierce cam

And by the way, speaking of Democrats, we
hope the state fully realizes which party was
largely responsible for the reelection Of Governor
Burnquist. We don't expect this statement to
find favor with members of the G. o. P but from
the history Of the June primaries which repeated
itself at the polls last Tuesday, they should be
willing to admit that the Democrats did not hest
tate when it was question of whether the cleo
ton of governor of known loyalty should be
elected or a whether the party should be saved.

individual portions on lettuce leaves
and garnish with halved Maraschiro
cherries. A fruit salad may COM
bine the salad and dessert course.
Sardine and Shrimp Salad-Take
equal parts of shrimp and sardines,
marinate separately in little tar
ragon vinegar. Line salad bowl
with lettuce and fill with alternat-
ing layers of cold asparagus tips,
sardines cut in dice, thinly sliced
cucumbers and tomatoes, then one
of shrimp divided in sections if de-
sired. Serve with French dressing.
TRY THESE.
When Washing Dishes-Never
place the handles of any riveted
knife in the water, or the blade will
become loosened. Use quart meas
ure or other pitcher and fill with hot
water and a pinch of washing pow
der. First clean the blade with a
cork and cleanser, then stand it up
right in the pitcher; wash, after the
other dishes are finished, in clear
rinsing water.
To Prevent Bluing from Streak
ing-To prevent clothes from becom-
ing streaked with bluing when the
latter is added to water that is hard,
mix the bluing first with hot water
before adding it to the final rinsing.
Chopping Hint-When chopping
dates, citron, or raisins for cake or
other pastry, mix in with the ingre-
dients portion of the flour which
is to be used in the baking. This
prevents the fruit from sticking to
the chopper. 1t is an especially com
mendable precaution to take when
making fruit cake.
An Improved Metal Polish-To
keep the metal of pipes, faucets, and
other brass or lacquer ware bright
and shining, cleanse it thoroughly
with the usual metal polish and then
paint the polished surface with a
coating of banana oil which may be
obtained at any hardware store. The
oil seems to act as preservation on
the polish and triples its endurance.

The Latest Fashions

Since the war, evening dresses and
all gowns intended for formal wear
have been conspicuous by their alb
sence even from affairs of a formal
nature. The informal frock is almost
the only mode which has any showing
in the shops.
The problem of being dressed just
right for every occasion is becoming
simplified because there is practically
but one type of costume to choose.
Nowadays one is always correct If
attired in plain and simply made
frock.
Sashes with wide butterfly bows
are feature of midsummer gowns.
They take their place beside the
fichus as a Victorian revival Of great
charm, and the style is adapted in a
less frilly manner for gowns designed
for daytime wear.
Waistcoats are especially designed
to prevent waste Of wool, but they
do a good deal for feminine vanity.
An assortment of these fascinating
new accessories will give almost in
finite variety to tailored suit.
