r. Rose For Mother
BY EMMETT RUSSELL.

was Just now thinking some jingle
write,
When shadow crept gently 'twi,
me and the light.
! looked ND TO find what the matte
could be
And found my old mother stood lool
ing al me.
She said she felt lonesome on thi
dreary day;
! knew why she felt so, though sh
didn't say.
Her life is most spent and her lock
are now white;
And through all these years she'l
been cheerful and bright.
Twas this time o'year just a few
years ago.
When father left US and was laid
meath the snow,
And since then I've tried to be father
and son,
Tried to brighten her days till her
work here is done.
She's the dearest old mother boy
ever had;
She is chuck full Of comfort when er
| am sad.
She still wants to wait on me just like
she did
In years long ago when ! was just a
kid.
There's always been room in my
heart and my home
For her dear old figure to rest and
to roam;
And know by nature she will soon
slip away.
And that's why Tim writing these
verses to-day.
The rose I'd layl on her cold form
with kiss
Would not be as sweet to her then as
will this
So here's TO my mother, her life and
her love,
And long may she live ere she is call
ed up above.
She's borne me, she's nursed me
from babyhood up,
Aud she knows to what measure ]
have filed up her cup
From childhood on up to this very
day,
And OH how I'll miss her when she
goCs away.
Her ways are "old-timy, yet they're
sweet and they're quaint:
Her heart, Fife and soul would adorn
any saint,
And know when her spirit from
earth takes ITS flight
The angels will wonder why heavens
so bright.
And when she goes up there above
the bright blue
know her so well, know just what
she II do
She will have a kind word for each
angel she II meet
And have all the children right down
round her feet.
Should the angels there ask her of
folks she has.known,
The good she will tell them, the bad
left alone
At least, that's her record while liv-
ing down here;
That she'l do tiup there ! have not
the least fear.
Ana when the books Ope'd and her
record is read
will know the tplaudit "well done"
will be said
TO the dearest old mother any boy
ever knew,
Whose superiors are none and whose
equals are few.

OF BRITAIN
BEST LEAGUE OF
NATIONS HE SAYS

London. Tuesday. Nov. 20
Speaking at Dundee tonight, Win
ston Spencer Churchill, minister of
munitions, said that. while he
would do everything in his power
to make a league of nations
practical and powerful reality. said
il would be no substitute for the
supremacy of the British fleet.
In reference to the freedom Of
the seas, he said:
From the battle of Trafalgar 70
the end of the 18th century we were
absolutely free al sea We were
the only nation whose ports were
open to the world. whose markets
were unrestricted by any tariff and
whose coastwise trade was not held
as a national monopoly. Even our
kith and kin from the United States
whose affection and aid have been
so dear to us. never practiced that
broad. liberal policy which we for
century of unchallerged supren-
acv. have shown upon the sea.
Let us be careful not to catch
the inference OF German ideas at
the moment we have defeated the
German army. If other nations OF
the world are content to allow us
to keep the supremacy OF the seas
without demur, It will be because
we hold Il as a trust for all"
