PITHY AND TRUE.

About the most ungracous thing a
newspaper publisher ever has to do is
20 advertise for pay, and as matter
OF business, the fact that some man 5
wife has left his bed and board with
out due cause or provocaton. We
never see such customer darken our
door without wanting to kick him into
the street. We don't believe in the
doctrine. We don't believe that any
woman ever quit home without cause
or provocation. But we do believe thai
thousands OF women adhere 10 bad
home, where halt the cause or provo
cation would drive an average man to
perditlon. And the man, who, under
any circumstances, can advertise his
wife as he would a horse and dog, 10
say the least, doesn't deserve a wife,
and the fact itself is proof conducive
that she ought to run away.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
MOTHERS.


Mid life's connections dismal fears
Mid cares and woes and flood OF
tears,
How sweetly break upon the ear
Some word of comfort or of cheer;
Yet OF our friends there is not another
Who speaks as gentle as our mother
Here disappointments crowd each day
Our brightest hopes soon fade away
And friends long trusted oft deceive
We scarcely know whom to believe
Yet, tho we fear to trust each other
We're not afraid to trust our mother
Yet here where there's so much deceit
Some friends we have we love to meet
There's love we know that will endure
Not sordid, selfish, but all pure;
But tho beloved by sister, brother,
There's none that love us like our
mother.
Among the names to mortals given,
There's none like mother, home aud
heaven;
For homes no home without her care
And heaven, we know she will be
there
Then let us while we love each other,
Remember and be kind to mother.

A DEFENSE OF WOMEN.

"Dey may rail against women as
de like, said darkey lately. "Dey
can't set me against dem. l hab
always in my life found dem fust in
peace, fust in quarrel, fust in de
dance, fust in de ice cream parlor,
and fust, best and last in dc sick
room. What would we be without
dem? Let US be born as young, as
ugly, as helpless as you please and
a woman's arm am ready to receive
us. She it am dat guy us our, fus
dose ob castor oil, and puts clothes on
our helpless, naked limbs, and cubbers
up our foots and noses in long flannel
pettcoats, and it am she, as We grow
up, dat fills our dinner basket wild
doughnuts and apples as we start to
school and ticks us when we tare our
trousers"

BEAUTY OF OLD PEOPLE.

Men and women make their own
beauty or their own ugliness. Lold
Lytton speaks of a man "who was
uglier than he had any business to
be, - and if ne could but read it, every
human being carries his life in his
face, and is good looking or the re-
verse as his life has been good or evil.
On our features the fine chisels of life
and emotion are eternally at work.
Beauty is not the monopoly of bloom
ing young men and pink and white
maids, There is slow growing
beauty which only comes to perfection
in old age. Grace belongs to no peri
cd of life and improves the longer it
exists

THREE AND SEVEN ARE LUCKY
Mystic Numbers, According to Popular
Superstition, Bring Forth Good
and Bad Luck.

There is said to be luck in odd num-
bers, and there are prudent farmers
wives who are careful to put an odd
number of eggs under a hen for hatch
ing. OF course the fatal thirteen is
an exception to the rule.
Three is considered especially
lucky, but there are superstitions of
bad luck connected with it. For in
stance: Break one dish and you will
break three. Three times Il brides
maid, never a bride. There is a belief
in certain sections that when a fire
occurs there will be two others, maxi
ing three inside of "a hours. IT is
said If a dream occurs three times in
succession it will come true. An ok
ception to the rule that even numbers
are not lucky is the common belief
that the finding of a four-leaved clov-
er will bring good fortune.
Seven is one of the luckiest of num-
bers. The seventh son is considered
natural healer, while the seventh
son of a seventh son has almost un-
limited power to work wonders.
Keep thing seven years and you will
have use for it. If you are the sew
enth person having your fare rung up
after a street car has started on its
trip you will have good luck all day.
1t will bring good luck to walk over
seven rails on the railroad track with
out stepping off.
You will have good luck for the year
the figures Of which added up make
your age. Thus 1917 added up makes
eighteen.

Goats Blocked the Game.

The plan lnaugurated by the Boone
and Crockett club Of New York to trans
plant mountain goats from other parts
in Alaska to Admiralty island, with n
view to making it great goat colony,
has been reasonably successful tn all
ways save in the one detail Of secur-
ing the cooperation Of the goats.
All sportiyely inclined Alaskans en-
tered enthusiastically into the spirit
Of the scheme because of the merit Of
the thing, while the thrifty profess
sional hunters looked with great favor
upon the offer Of 500 for each goat
successfully introduced to the new en-
vironment. Also, the United States
government Clipped in $500 to help
boost along the game, but even the fa-
vo" of this distinguished patron failed
to arouse the friendly interest of the
goats. .aaSsIs,.a

PRAIRIE CLOTH.

! think God loves to try his hand
AT being modesto;
He makes the earth's new gowns
OF prairie cloth.
In autumn her dress is simmer oil
cloth Of gold,
With dull red lights shot through;
Then at the beautiful Christmas tide
He drapeo her in soft, white robe
AS fitting the solemn, hallowed occa-
sion.
For the dark and blustery days to
come
She has dark brown dress,
Relieved at the throat and wrists
With snow drift laees.
But when spridg, glorious spring,
Sends riot OF changing moods
To her woman's soul,
Her gown is changed TO softest greens,
And as the festival advances
He catches festoons Of Mowers
over her shimmering bodice skirt,
AS loves Offering to his beloved.

A GOOD DAUGHTER.

There are other ministers of love
more conspicuous than she, but none
in which a gentler, loyeier spirit
dwells, and none to which the hearts
war requitals more joyfully respond.
She is the steady light Of her fathers
house. Her ideal is indssolubly con
nected with that of his firesde, She
is his morning sunlight and evening
star. The grace, vivacity and tender
ness Of her sex have their place in the
mighty sway which she holds oven his
spirit. She is the pride and ornament
Of his hospitality, and the gentle nurse
in his sickness.
