$50 TIRED

A woman ~ years old took her own
life in Chicago, leaving to her sor-
rowing family this only explanation:
II am so tired, so tired--therc Is 50
much to do" She had Finished her
task before she sought death Her
home had been made clean and neat,
4 heavy washing had been dried,
ironed and laid out in neat orderly
piles, Then she had gone to the attic
of the little home and with her own
tired hands had welcomed death. This
is sad lesson TO the living who may
still have a tired mother in the hnHsa-
hold. bearing the heavy burdens I'M
comblainingiy ana should be dear 70
those whom she cares for so faithful
ly. She should be given every help
possible. from the strongest sons and
daughters who are neglecting the
home duties that they might perform.
leaving them for the tired mother TO
do Il am so tired. so tired--there is
so much TO do Too many n good
mother feels II as she goes on and on
bearing the burdens Too many well
grown children forget II as they seek
pleasure and pastime and constantly
add to the burdens OF the mother,
which should be lightened as the
years go by.
The time will come when the con-
seriousness OF having done our duty to
those who bore and cherished US, VIII
be Of more value than fame or gold.
This department is conducted in the
hope that It may awaken on the part
of the husband and the child a deeper
appreciation OF her who is the central
figure of home; that It may strengthen
the family bonds. making them more
beautiful and tender. that IL may en-
courage charity and breathe hope for
that future where language is music,
thought is light. and love is law. II
you still have your mother with YOU
see that she never has cause to say,
II am so tired. II in your power to
prevent IT, Let the above sad lesson
be kept fresh In memory's casket
never to be lost or forgotten.

rAE VALUE OF KIND WORDS.

Let the young people who weekly
read this column neeyr lose an OPP
portunity to say q kind word to their
parents Your parents have planned
for your best interests all these years,
They may sometimes (their nervous
system all used up by the cares and
losses, the 6isappointments, the wor-
ries of lifel, be more irritable than
they ought to be. and they probably
have faults which have become OPP
pressive as the years go by. But those
eyes, long before they took on spec
tacles, were watching for your well
fare, and their hands, not as smooth
and more deeply lined than once, have
done for you many good days work.
Life has been to them more of a strug-
gle than you shall ever know about
and much of the struggle has been for
YOU and how much they are wrapped
up In your welfare you will never
appreciate.
Have you by word or gift or be-
havior, expressed your thanks? Or II
you cannot quite get up to saying II
face to face have you written II in
some holiday salutation? The time
will soon pass and they win be gone
out Of your sight and their ears will
not hear. and their eyes will not sec.
II you owe them any kindness OF deed
or any word of appreciation, why do
you not say so? How much we might
all OF us save ourselves In the matter
OF regrets II we cid not delay until too
late in expression OF obligation that
would have made the last years OF
earthly life more attractive. The
grave is deaf. and epitahs on cold
marble cannot make rcparation.
