A mother performs her highest duty
when she instills into the hearts of
her boys and girls the courage of hon.
orable living, the desire to follow the
principles Of truth, nobility, and puri-
ty, so that they may go out into the
world free from the narrow selfinter-
est, dishonesty, and petty scheming
which ever threaten to undermine our.
country's life and the liberty dear to
every American heart. If mother
has taught her children to be good,
worthwhile citizens, she has done
her duty, for good citizens are also
good men and women.
Marriage never seems so much a
failure to a man as when something
goes wrong at home that he can't
possible blame on his wife.
Don't marry for beauty alone, for
it may vanish in a single night, and
unless accompanied by loneliness of
spirit, it is only mantle of vanity
selfishness, and ill temper.
If you want to be loved, be kind to
those about you. Hide your sorrow
in your own heart and put CHEEKY

your eyes. Listen to the sorrowfu
