friends allowed her for many reasons,
but most of all because she has been
such a dear mother.

None so devotional as that of Mother .
TO MY MOTHER
saw my mother sitting in her chair
The light from evening lamp upon her
hair,
A kind and peaceful look upon her face.
Her deft hands lingering bit of lace
That lay there in her lap;
And when / came with tale of my mishap
She softly kissed my boyish, dirty hands,
And tenderly until my sObs We're done
She stroked my face and said Ills well,
my son,
Your mother understands
saw my mother lying on her bed,
A crown of silver light upon her head,
Her meek, maternal face all furrowed now
The certain trace of death upon her brow
But while / stood and wept
1t seemed to me that mother only slept;

interested in the new feature which
hiss been added to The Journal, the
first installment appearing this week.
We refer to the items sent special to
this paper by VIM. j. Anderson which
give comprehensive reviews OF the
work which state officials are doing
at Madison. This feature will be OF
especial interest during the session
Of the Legislature. Get acquainted
with this feature, and you will feel
a better acquaintance with the men
who are serving you at Madison.
Congressman James A. Frears
weekly letters from Washington are
resumed for the ensuing session.
Many readers have expressed high
communication of Mr.. Frear's method
of keeping his constituents posted on
the legislation in which he IS famii-
lar, and we believe a great majority
of Journal patrons look upon his col
ur1n as one of great interest and val
ne. In our opinion i would be
good idea for our state legislators TO
furnish their constituents in q slmli-
ar manner with information concern
ing their own interests at Madison.
This paper not only invites such cor.
respondence from the legislators, but
also opens its columns to the constlt-
uents who might wish to thus pub
lically express their views or sug-
gestions concerning proposed or cur
rent legislation.
Directly after the midnight ire
which destroyed the city feed stable
last month there was considerable
comment regarding the inefficiency OF
the fire alarm system. In the short
snace of time which elapsed until the
Treamont Block fire the topic was
practically dropped, and, unless ag-
itated, will again be dropped until the
next fire brings another recognition
of the fault. The next recognition
NAV be a most unpleasant one. A
very good idea has been preached at
meetings of the Fire Department
namely. that some arrangement be
made with the telephone exchange
whereby members of the department
can be called by phone in case OF an
alarm. We understand that a large
majority 'of the members have teie-
phones in their homes, and that an
alarm could be sent to them all 81
simultaneously. In case OF night nre
there are probably not more thar
three or four firemen apt to hear the
fre-bell even if it was in working or
der. especially on dangerously
stormy or windy night. The only ones
who would be apt to hear it are those
living within a block or two OF the
fire hall, and, while their presence
at the fire hall on every call migns
pive them an advantage in the annu-
al dividends, it would be safer for the
community to have the alarm more
general.
