HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

When we launch our ship on the
morning waves Of the great sea of life,
let us guide them by the light OF home,
with the helm of the cradle words Of
our mother. Not until we have left
home and are wanderers in the curious
strangeness of strange land, unnotic-
ed, unheeded, lonely and weary, will
we know of truth what mother is.
Then we feel that she is good and we
bless her. Never can we repay our
mothers kindness. Her witherec form
and her silvering braids shall be de-
Tended till that day cometh when He
shall make up His jewels-and then we
ween, Heaven will know no kinder, no
brighter, no purer angel than she.
When the ever shining stars shall
wane in the fading of our vision, and
the noisy world will grow still in our
sleep of death, will we forget her; not
till then.

live distinctly and honestly within our
means is essential to all married life,
How many couples now in mature life
and surrounded by luxury and wealth,
look back to the days of early priva-

their life. No sensible person will
deem it a hardship to begin on a mo-
derate scale, And when we have g.
scended to the top steps of prosperity,
we may look back on the days of small
things as the golden days of our hearts
if not our purses.

 Hundreds of lives are saved daily by the power of the motor truck to quickly bring succor to the wounded and to carry them to hospitals at great speed and with mini mum suffering.
