There not country upon the earth more blest

To a Mother

1t is hard, perhaps impossible, to say anything
that will help you to forget your loss that can
dull the sense of emptiness in your heart for the
boy that is gone. That consolation it is beyond the
power of words to bestow, but it will come to you
of itself; unsought and nexpecteda light from the
glory of the great cause that has taken him.
You are his mother. and therefore have had
mothers dreams for your You taught him to
be honest-with himself as with others. You set
his feet in the difficult path of courage and helped
him to walk in it. You encouraged him to think
little of himself but much of Others and to hate in
justice and cruety and you made him see that for US
Americans the love of country is not love for mere
set of geographical boundries political system,

When the Crop Comes In

Robinson Crusoe in the story found few grains
of seed that had escaped ruin in the wreck
He hankered for cup of porridge, but he put
off the indulgence and planted the seed.
At the years end he had enough to make
handful of cakes that he craved. But he put off the
indulgence and planted again.
At the second years end he had enough to
joy and still plenty for seed.
Once he got ahead of his needs, there
limit to what he could raise.
Every who has his way to make is living
on Crusoe's island. He can eat his seed in one
mouthfu or save it and have all he wants.
Once he gets ahead of his needs the returns
come faster and faster. Waiting for harvest is e-
dious. But it pays.-Sel.

Your Mothers Visit

When next your mother comes to visit you,
think not of yourself but think of her. Forget the
seeming harshness of prison rules and greet her with
a smile of gladness and reverent kiss. Don't mar
her visit by bringing up lot of and forebod-
ings and dwell on them continually during her stay
If things do look hopeless, become optimistic and
cheerful, though you have to force yourself to
feel that way; do it for her sake Making her down
hearted does not help you any; it only adds to her
load of sorrow. which is, perhaps. as much as she
already bear. Let her leave you in a cheerful
frame of mind and her efforts in your behalf will be
redoubled.
There are mothers who come to see their sons at
this institution with cheerful, smiling faces. and at
the conclusion of the visit leave with tears in their
eyes and heart loaded down with grief and sorrow
Why? Because the son comes to her with long
face and talks of nothing else but the unustness of
his fate and the cruel punishments he fances he is
subjected to, both in body and in spirit, that he
doesn't believe he live through it. His detection
is enough to take all the JOY and gadness out of the
soul of any mother who loves her son.
Do not try to press your mother with the be-
lief that the prison management frowns upon cheer
fulness and desires the inmates exhibit themselves
woe begone creatures whom the last drop of joy
has been turned bitter gall for that is not true
They realize that the process of reformation is great
ly enhanced by cheerfuness of spirit for it is only
by keeping ourselves in pleasant frame of mind that
thoughts Of evil driven into the backg round and
brighter outlook upon life instilled within u.s.
So when she calls to visit you don't have her
leave feeling that she has just been look upon the
corpse of her son, but conscious that he is real
live man of whom she can yet be proud in spite of
the worlds condemnation-B

The Royal Bachelor of Siam

1t is curious fact that while the women of the
est freedom. participating and competing with
in the business and pleasure of fe the ladies of the
royal household have been kept in the background,
appearing at only the most private social gatherings
and never at public or official functions. AS all for
mer soveregns had in their harems the cream of the
arstocracy of the country, and they inevitably
felt hesitant chivary about exhibiting their wves''
in public they barred all of rank from sight.
The sovereign is expected to have in his harem
member of every influential family in the country.
for is considered that no other way could he be
in such close touch with the people of his kingdom.
Polygamy, has, therefore, been considered an obll-
cation of royalty. But. curiousy enough, the pre-
sent regning monarch is bachelor, the first and
y bachelor who has sat upon throne of his fathers
in twenty-five hundred years And thereby hangs
tale, for marriage by Samese sovereign has meant
not the simple taking of one wife, a dozen,
en- mere hundred, but the wholesale adoption of
thousand or more. The young kings father and his
fathers father and each of the long line of
kings preceding them, had many wives. His father
had between seven and eight thousand. And when
the young Grown Prince returned from his long
stay in Europe-he had passed third of his life
there-be was told by his royal father that there
had been selected for him number of court beau
ties from which he could take his choice of hun
dred or two for his harem. But the Prince would
have nothing do with this wholesale acquisition of
husbands holding. when marry" he declared
to his astonshed father, ut will be to one wife and
to no more and she shall be the one queen of my
realm.''-by Frederick Dean in Asia" Magazine.

Mother

Prov. +: 20. "FOrsake not the Mac of thy mo-
Mer.' Between Easter and Chlldrens Day, how
beautiful to observe Mothers Memorial Day. the

the purity and fragrance in the lives of holy mother

the heart of the world deeper than any others If it
is angel mother. she makes heaven more inviting;
if still in the earthly home she is the guide and un-
changeabe friend, moving about in sweet ministries
and loving service.
A friend said to S. S. Prentice, Il congratu-
late the mother who has such SON." He replied
Rather congratulate the son having such moth

mother. more than any other, effects the moral and
spiritual part of the chdren's character. She is
their constant companion and teacher in formative
years. The child is initiating and assimating
the mother nature 1t is only in after life that men
gaze backward and behold how mothers hands and
heart of love nodded their young lives and shaped
their destiny.
No child can fully realize the intensity of
mothers anxiety she bids good-by to the son or
daughter going out Of the old home to enter school
or business life. She realizes that she will not be
able to give counsel as in their younger days; she
does not need to promise to remember them in her

Night after night she watched little bed,

Day after day she guarded little feet.

Taught little lips to utter simple prayers.
