but. alas. there are no fairy god
mothers bearing miraculous gifts in
these days. What We get, We must
fight for. and pay fof with blood and
swear. and there are not many
mothers who have the clear sighted
ress to realize this. or the grit to do
the spartan mother act, and send
their children into the fray with tho
admonition that II Is better To die In
the thick Of the battle than 10 be a

ITS the mother who makes the

Are YOU firing his soul with ambi-

goal before him. and made him feel
that he had TO reach that before he

back and reproach him for having
failed you?
You can cultivate ambition in a

Between the poor mother who
teaches her children to be enyious
of the rich, and ansrchIstic in their
sentiments. and to feel that fate has
given them a rotten deal, and the
mother who says 70 her boys that this
is free country. with limitless op-
portunities. and that it Is for them
TO go get what they want, is the
difference between the m:thers of fall
ures and the mothers of successes.
You can teach a boy that poverty
is a blish.ing curse. or you can teach
MIN that it is the stepping stone to
fortune because ii trains him in the
qualities by which men rise.
Are you teaching your boy good
habits? Not only the big moralities,
but the minor moralities? Are you
teaching him to be industrious, faith
ful, loyal, efficient? Not every boy is
endowed by nature with great finan-
cial genius any more than every boy
is gifted with grand opera voice,
but every man can be a moderate sue

BY the time a boy is ten years old
his mother can have forged upon him
the unbreakable habit of industry.
She can have taught him TO find in

The head Of the biggest locomotive

he is employing new man that ~
looks first at the mans mother.
He doesn't 30 much as glance at his

son gets the job. and nine times out
Of ten he makes good at it,
It's mother who makes the man. a
/ time old truth, Read history. and you
! will find that every great man had a
great mother. Look about you, and
you will see that every successful
self made" man who has riscl, from
the bottom 10 the top Of the ladder
is the son of square iawcd steety
eyed woman who had backbone lik
telephone post. There is no recor I
OF the children Of baby dolls, and but
terfty women ever getting anywhere
except to a tea dance.
It's the mother who makes the man.
Not alone because nature has de-
creed that sons shall inherit more
strongly from their mothers than FROM
their fathers, but because mothers 5
influence in moulding her children's
characters IS bound TO be 50 much
greater than fathers. During their
plastic years = mother is with her
children continuously. She forms
their habits. She directs their actions.
She imprpsses her principles upon
them. She holds her ideals before
them. she makes them what they are.
Just as surely as the potter fashions
the clay in his hands 10 whatever
form he wills.
There is no other one thing which
women try 10 dodge like they do the
responsibility of motherhood They
Try TO shift il on TO heredity. They at
tempt TO evade it by simply refusing
10 accept il. and b. turning their
children over 10 nurses and governess-
es TO be brought up. If they are rich.
OF leaving them TO grow up on the
streets. if they are poor.
They might as well try TO dodge God
and His eternal justice as The re-
sponsibilities of motherhood. When
He gives a woman children, he makes
her accountable for their fate. ard she
must answer to Him for the SOFT OF
JOB she turns out. /; isn't q cheerful
thought for Stacker mothers. but 1t is
che they will do we'll to ponder this
side OF the Judgment Bar.
Probably there isn't mother in
the world, no matter how weak. aud
silly, and selfish she is. who doesn't
want her children TO grow up into
being fine men and women. She
wants more. She desires them to be
successful men ard women, admired
and respected by their fellow crea-
tures. IL mothers wishes were a
magic that could summon fame and
