Unfortunate the man or woman who has mother

Even more than sublime sentiment ustihes the
universal observance of Mothers Day. In the

which separates the lonely wanderer from the best
influences of life. So long as any mother lives
her life is dedicated to her children-and she waits
to rejoice or to weep at their triumphs or their

]. Ogden Chisolm, a wealthy re-
tired New York business man. who

Mr.. Chisolm said the Workhouse

took more means TO reconstitute
its inmates than any other penal
institution he had visited. He also
told the men that OF the 10000

few were allowed to be out of their
cells after the evening meal.

this: This idea OF personal liberty
