MOTHERS-iN-LAW.

A touching story of mother-in-
laws love, devotion and sacrifice is
related by writer in the Providence
Visitor.
"a young man able in his profess
sion. had had financial reverses," he
relates. ''Then follows illness to him
self, depriving him of the use of his
faculties, with a heavier cross to
weigh him down when hissyoung wife
becomes a confirmed invalid. The
mother of the young wife becomes a
devoted slave to both.
"The countenance of that mother is
still wildly before me with all its
beauty and saintliness. She was a
woman of marked refinement, one of
those angels whom God sent down
from heaven to minister unto man.
She had not worked laboriously or in
the field of life before-her life had
been one wholly of domesticity. But
this winter of want, the illness of her
daughter, the inability of her son-in.
law to earn livelihood, spurred her
on. She sought employment, found it.
nursed her daughter and her son,
as she called him, and even after the
death of her own daughter she cared
for, supported and guarded her SON
in-law until he was completely re-
stored to health"
While the burden which this family
had to bear was greater than that i'm
posed upon most of us, the account OF
the mother-in-law's devotion and sac
rifice is probably not unusual. In
thousands of homes the mother of
either the husband or wife lives in
concord and unity with the members
of the household and is often great
help in rearing the children and max
ing the home contented and happy
abode.

COUNTRY GIRLS ADOPT METH.
obs OF OUR CITY "BEAUTIES."

The Saturday Evening Post recent
'ly had an editorial which does not
quite correspond to reality. "The
smallttown belle who is rouged is
found only in fiction
1t is none of this writer's business
whether country bellies rouge or
don't rouge, but he does know that
some do, says Lordman.
They are not experts at it. but they
at least dabble with the stuff. Their
amateurish indiscretions sometimes
fairly scream" at you to take notice.
And, some of these country bellies
don't merely rouge" but they also
"blacken"-and "whiten"
A nose which looks as though it
plunged into flour barrel, scarlet
cheeks, and pitch-black crescents
above the flirting eyes, is a combina-
tion to make man cross-eyed.
Mary Rose Potter, dean of the
women professors of Northwestern
University, tells us not to worry about
these painted beauties" We don't
intend to.
Arthur Brisbane, another authori-
ty, but, of different kind, says:
Girls are all right-but-rouge, lip
stick and the rest are bad for this
reason.they take the place OF good
compilations, make it unnecessary for
girls to care for their natural com.

"THEY" AND WE.

From time immemorial the indefi-

goat of all sorts of SANDER, calumny,
and detraction generally. The cow
ardly backbiter seeks to disguise his
malice by imputing his verbal poi

''They say so and so." Another field
in which this same indefinite locution
is being overworked is thus aptly de-
scribed by ''T. A. T." whiting in the

RESIGNATION.

Serenely, fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea !;
/ rave no more 'gainst Time or Fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends l seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my barque astray,
Nor change the tide of Destiny.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me.
Serene, fold my hands and wait
Whate'er the storms of life may be;
Faith guides me up to Heavens gate,
And love will bring my own to me.

A BUILDERS LESSON.

How shall | a habit break?
AS you did that habit make.
AS you gathered you must lose;
AS you yielded now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand.
AS we built up stone by stone,
We must toll unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrown.
But, remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by;
Wading in, the stream goes deep
Towards the center's downwardsweep;
Backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste;
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love is won!
First across the gulf we cast
Kite-born thread, then lines are pass
ed,
And habit builds the bridge at last.

LEGEND OF THE. cHIPMUNk.

Long years ago, runs one of the
old legends of the Umatilla Indians
there dwelt at the mouth of the Una
tilla River an Indian woman who had
but one child, boy of the age OF
seven. The boy was bright and full
of fun and the spirit of adventure
but he was much inclined to disobey
his mother in matters which seemed
to him of no special Importance. The
foolish boy thought he knew better
than his mother what he should dc
and should not do.
One day the mother heard there was
a sorceress in the woods back of the
tepee, a witch doctor who could dc
anything she wished with people in
her power. Therefore, she told hel
son to remain within the tepee until
the witch had gone away.
The boy, who was called Cherr
l-l-e-e, said, "All right, mother" and
then slipped out of the back door
thinking he would go to the woods
see the. witch, and return in safety
There is where he made mistake
He had scarcely reached the woods
before he saw dreadful figure with
disheveled hair, long, sharp claws and
malign aspect, peering through the
brush as if in search of someone.
The boy was badly frightened and
at once took to his heels. The witch
gave chase. In a moment her hot
breath was on the boys neck and he
felt that all was lost. Still, he strove
with all his might to get beyond hel
clutches and at last managed to gel
beyond her reach by climbing pine
tree.
Once in the treetop he felt secure
and glanced down at the witch. She
was standing at the foot of the tree
gnashing her teeth and vainly trying
to ascend. Then the boy thought he
would have some fun, so he plucked
a huge pine cone and threw it at the
old bag, striking her on the head
Again and again he hit her, laughing
with glee at his success, but the
witch still remained at the foot OF
the tree.
Then the lad threw a cone far out
into the brush, the witch gave chase
and, while she was gone, he slid down
the tree and within a few minutes
was safe in his mothers tepee
Scarcely had he arrived in the tepee
when the witch reached it also, wild
with anger. His mother, in alarm,
hid him in corner and covered his
head with a buffalo horn spoon.
The witch came in and demanded
the boy. She was told that he had
not come home. Then the witch
searched the tepee and, eventually
finding the boy. seized him. AS the
boy tried to squirm out of her grasp,
she caught him with all her claws
by the forehead and. left the marks
of her talons on his, face and body.
Then she changed him from boy to
an animal which she called a chip
munk. And that is why that cheer
full little animal frequents the pine
trees and wears stripes.

THOSE "OTHER SHEEP"

In China New Years is the creates,
festival of the year-not January
but the national feast which comes a
month later.
Rev. Edmond Devloo, B. F. NJ, oil
Chaoyangfu, Cheli, tells about this
festival season.
with the Chinese New Year all
our school children are disbanded
the boys and girls return home &C
spend their biggest national holiday
"No matter how poor, all of them
must eat pork on that day, and drink
their national wine; there are plenty
of fireworks, crackers, cakes; nothing
is lacking. 1t is plain that we priests
would be rather undesirable even in
the houses of our Christians, whose
time is totally taken by the prepare.
tions for this great holiday, but we
have opportunity to spend a few
weeks at the presbytery and to write
some words to our dear benefactors
from overseas.
when I think upon the festivities
of the Chinese New Year, the number
less superstitious practices, the waste
of money to worship Satan and to
beautify his temples. and hence the
increased power of Satan upon these
his worshippers, I cannot but remem.
Der the words of Jesus: And other
sheep also have that are not OF
this fold Them also I mucf hrinc
and they shall hear my voice and
there shall be one fold and one Shep-
herd
1--WE priests here in Chaoyangfu are
much in need of new chapel, and
there is no doubt that many of those
other sheep would be gathered in If
we could preach the word in a church
capable of accommodating a large
congregation"

Lincoln's Old Pew
Given TO Chicago
Historical Society
Companion Piece to Rough
Church Bench Is Bleak
Office Chair Emancipator
Used When Studying Law

CHICAGO, Feb. l2.---Abraham Lin
coin is shown again as one of the plain
people at the Chicago Historical So
ciety.
To its already fine Lincoln collection
the society has added for the first time
some remarkable bits of Lincoln's en-
vironment that give glimpses of his
life.
Most illuminating perhaps among
these is the pew that Lincoln occupied
in the Presbyterian Church at Spring
field before he left the Illinois capital
to 90 to the White House. The rough
bench looks as if it might have been
youth. No palmer. commoner, more
substantial bench could be built for a
church.
The pew probably never was painted.
At any rate, it shows no sign Of paint
to-day, but stands like product of the
carpenter that had gone straight to the
church. 1t is bench that, without re-
gard to looks, could be doing its duty
for several more half centuries.
Near by is chair that Lincoln used
while he was reading law. 1t is one of
those bleak Office chairs of long ago, a
sure enough companion piece to the
pew. simple, worn and still good for a
long term of hard service.
Close at hand stands a bookcase
made abroad for Jefferson Davis, the
President of the Confederacy. Rather
ornately carved, it seems quite unlike
Lincolns home bookcase, which also is
on display here, This is another of the
plain pieces common in the day and
now sought after. But that there was
comfort and elegance of a quiet nature
in the Lincoln household may be at
tested by the handsome mahogany and
haircloth couch from Springfield
Robert 7. Lincoln, the martyred
Presidents only living son, pays the
Chicago Historical Society a visit from
time to time. He has pronounced the
best likeness of his father little
known portrait that has recently come
into possession of the society and is
hanging there for the first time. The
scene is ships cabin, where Lincoln
IS listening to General Sherman tell of
his march to the sea. The painting is
by c.. P. A. Healy, one of the noted
artists of the day. Robert T. Lincoln
