The Glad Season.

Fair spring will soon be spring
ing the climate we adore; each
passing day is bringing her closer
than before; fair spring, whose
fragrant lilies will drive away the
willies, and nanny goats and bill
lies will ganbol on the shore. To
winds that chill the gizzard we
soon shall say farewell; the wild
bewhiskered blizzard no more
shall roar and yell. but spring will
show some poses, and thaw Our
frosted noses, and carpet with her
roses the meadow and the dell.
The brooks will gayly babble
along their pebbled track: the
guinea hens will gabble, the hap
py ducks will quack; goodbye to
crazy showing. So glad the
winters going, the muley COW is
lowing until she sprains her back.
Fair spring will break the sllackles
that gall the voters soul, for in
the spring he tackles no job OF
pushing coal into a furnace-crater.
whose appetite grows greater each
day, and sooner or later will put
him in the hole. Now signs are
in existence that spring is close at
hand she's eating up the distance,
she comes. to beat the band !;
along her course she teeters, to
Danish coal and heaters, and fill
with joyous skeeters the flower
bespangled land.

The Emergency Hospital is in duty
bound and is willing to care for this
extra work, and yet the institution is
not paid by the government for any
cases except those of citizens of the Dis

work for our business firms, house

The hospital cares for you. your
family, your employees. your friends

officers and staff are working always
for the peoples interest and safety,
and it can truly he said that the Ener-
Eency Hospital represents man at work
for his fellow man, and any one who

Mothers-in In China
As Well as In America

The many jokes and innuendoes
about the mother-in-law are source
OF wonder to people who think, be-
cause the average nother-in-law
neither deserves such obloquy, nor
does she possess, here in the west,
the means to make herself so power
fully unpleasant, should her ambition
lie that way. :
The person responsible for the
n1other-in-law joke must have been a
Chinese, and to that person it would
be no joke, The mother-in-law can
be relegated to the joke-shop in Eu-
rope and America, but not in the
Orientl
As child the future mother-in-law,
except in modern upper class families,
10 despised because she is a girl. AT
an early age she is betrothed. for
that merely means selling her for a
good sum to another family, who will
certainly get the moneys worth out
Of her.
Ordinarily she goes to live with her
future husbands family, as soon as
they have paid for her. Scant consid-
Grafton she receives there--a poor,
homesick little girl, afraid to shed
tears where they will be seen, and
nothing more or less a slave to her
sometime mother-in-law,
In her early teens" she is married
to someone of whom she knows little
and whom she may loathe with all her
nature. He may be gambler, a suf-
ferer from an incurable disease, even
an idiot, and she has absolutely no
protection from him, except through
suicide.
Even though her husband be a de-
cent and kindly man, yet she is his to
DO as he chooses with, and still more
is she the helpless victim of her
mother-in-law's whins. IF she is the
wife of the youngest son, she is also
the slave to the wives of the other
sons.
Among the lower classes she does
the most incredible amount of man
ual labor, under distressing condi-
tions.
Nor is there any escape for her
from this terrible treadmill, except
by bearing and rearing sons, who,
through their betrothals, will supply
her with slaves and relief from her
life of drudgery-that is. when her
nlother-in-law dies!-World Out
