NorthcIIffe and His Mother.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
If you want to get q real glimpse into
the character Of a man, be he famous or
otherwise, find out his relations with his
mother. Between Northcliffe and Sir
James M. Barrie exists a peculiar kin
ship. 1t Is not based entirely on mutual
admiration. The historian Of Thrums
never did anything finer in all his writing
career than the life OF his mother, Mar
garet Ogilvy. tits perhaps the only time
that a mothers biography has been writ
ten by her son.
N~orthcliffe has written no life of his
mother. but his alteration for this splen-
did old woman, Mrs. Harmsworth, who
at "a Is as much interested in her sons
activities as when he started. is a beauti-
full thing. Every day that he is in Eng
land he calls her up on the telephone.
When he is out of England he sends her
a telegram. This daily message from her
first born-he is the oldest of IA children
is as much a part OF her life as food.
Mrs. Harmsworth lives at Totteredge,
which is not far from London. North
cliffe makes it a point to spend one
night every week with her. She has
so many sons that she can have one with
her every day.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the grandest day--an
antidote for sorrow! There's no des-
pair for any Jay who banks on his to-
morrow. Today may be a frost and
crime, I'm eve forward looking; I
waste no portion of my time complain
ing and gadzooking. I've always had
the pleasant gift Of banking on to-
morrow; and sosm my old bald head I
lift above the tides of sorrow. You
say, Tomorrow, if it comes, will call
forth sultry phrases; let's weep and
gnash our toothless gums, and cuss
our luck like blazes." And you are old,
beyond your years, infirm throughout
your body; your eyes are boiled in
scalding tears, and l am young and
gaudy. I am Is clipper as a colt, no
trouble will 1 borrow; and If today
gives me a jolt, I'm banking on tomor-
row. Tomorrow is the blamedest day,
the balm for all our bruises! When man
Shoes this belief away, all hope and
pep he loses. Oh, yesterday made
people cry, today we think is sadder;
tomorrow's stacking up so high we
reach it with a ladder. So let us tin
our tiresome tears, and can our sobs
and sorrow, and hang pink tasseis on
our ears, n ban on our tomorrow.

Moultree had a flourishIng lumber In

Industrial ~stagnation threatened. John
w. Greer, a publisher, saw the oppor-
tunity. He know the and was poor and
the farmers poorer, due to the n crop
system and the lack of cash market for
anything bat cotton. He discovered that
the prosperity Of Iowa dated from the
the establishment of her first indepen-
dent packing plant. He found that
Georgia ought to be a better hog state
thar Iowa. 1t produced IA varieties of
hog feed while Iowa produced but seven

Iowa had seven. Then he started to
work.
The 500. 900 packing plant which Mr..
Greer started. in Moultree has grown into

Gifts to Conference.
From the Philadelphia Public Lee

From the PhiladeIphia Public Ledger.
In striking contrast to the politica-
dramatics of recent weeks in Paris was
the spectacular appearance of a delega-
ton from Abyssinia bearing rich gifts Of
ivory and silks for the announced pur.
pose Of congratulating Francs on her re.
cent victory. This Is in strict accordance
with ancient oriental procedure. These
native Africans. claiming descent from
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. wished
to be in on the carving up of the world,
for they have interests which seem Vital
to them. although little known to the rest
OF the world. Seated in that natural bast-
ion Of Africa, the A~byssinians ave lived
in greater or less security for unknown
centuries. They are not negroes but a
mixture Of Hamitic and Semitic races.
