MOTHER TO CHILD

By Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
How best can I serve thee? O child, if they
knew
How my heart aches with loving! How deep
and how true,
How brave and enduring, how patient, how
strong,
How longing for good and how fearful of wrong,
Is the love of thy mother!
Is there no way my life can save thine from
pain?
Is the love of mother no possible gain?
No labor of Hercules-search for the Grail
No way for this wonderful love to avail?
God in heaven-oh, teach me!
My prayer has been answered. The pain thou
Is the pain of the worlds life, which thy life
must share.
Thou art one with the world-though I love
thee the best;
And to save thee from pain must save all the
Well-with Gods help I'll do it.
Thou art one with the rest. must love thee
in them.
Thou wilt sin with the rest; and thy mother
must stem
The worlds sin. Thou wilt. weep; and thy
mother must dry
The tears of the world lest her darling should
cry.
will do it-God helping!
And I stand not alone I will gather band
Of all loving mothers from land unto land.
Our children are part of the world! Do We
hear!
They are one with the world-we must hold
T. them all dear!
Love all for the childs sake!
For the sake of my child must hasten to save
All the children on earth from the Jail and the
grave.
For so, and so only 1 tighten the share
Of the pain of the world that my darling must
Even so, and so only!

BANKERS

gressional District met at Winnebago. In
- greeting the guests to his city, Fred Hadey
out of his bigheartedness, had the following kind
" word to say.
The average banker is sadly misunder-

The general opinion is that his life is
pathway strewn with roses

The banker is a man laden with respon-

1t is suggested that women umpires be en-
gagged for the diamond. Why not? Women have
invaded about every other feld-and there is no
reason why they should not get into the great
national game as arbiters of balls and strikes.
Eek.
We suspect women have frequently been en-
gagged "for the diamond" If it wasn't for that
we really can't see what it was for!

The men proved to be very good cooks and

was ball game between the men. 1t was
very interesting affair. They sure played
ball. The score was 33 to 35. After the
game ice cream and cake was served and all
left for home after having spent real day.

Every great man hopes to be remembered for
his genius or his attainments; yet, alas, Solomon

Henry VIII, the lawmaker, for his divorces; Sir
Walter Raleigh, the explorer for his little act OF

affair-Helen Rowland.

WINS COLLECTORSHIP
H. C. Whitehill Favored by Vermont
Delegation

Without a formal vote, but by indi-
vdual expressions which tailed 3 to |
in favor of Harry c Whitehll of Wat
erbury, the Vermont delegation Tues
day placed itself on record i'll the mat
ter of the Vermont collectorship ac-
cording to Washington dispatch.
Senators Dillingham; and Page, and
Representative Dale said that they
were for Mr. Whitehill, while Represen-
tative Greene continued to support
John T. Gushing of his home town, St
Adams The Whitehill nomination
will probably be sent to the Senate
this week by the president on whose
desk it has been repOsiug for some
time as the recommendation of the
secretary of the treasury for the office.
1t is understood that the delegation
had been informed from a very high
official source that it was the desire
of the executive to appoint Mr. White
hill and that it was hoped that the
delegation would see its way clear to
ndorsing this attitude
Beyond indicating the position Of
each member on the subject Senator
Dillingham;, the dean of the Vermont
representation, said he had nothing
to say about the action of his col
leagues Congressman Greene declin-
ed to make any comment thereon also.
Senator Page was equally non-com-
initial.
Congressman Dale said This cas-.
carried more than the usual compiled
tions. An agreement in the delegation
could not be reached, and the effect
of any disagreement was clear to me.
The final question at issue was beyond
the selection of the man and involved
matters of larger scope and more gem
eral political welfare"

ANTELOPE BEING WIPED OUT
Despite Possession Of Remarkable
Signaling System tho Animals
Are Rapidly Disappearing.

The American pronghorn antelope Is
approaching extinction. Formerly
roaming from the Saskatchewan to
Mexico, and east to the Missouri river,
it is now confined to a few hundred
wild animals and a few more in en-
closures.
Rowing creatures, easily the swift
est runners on the continent, living
mainly in the open, they have be-
come easy prey for long-range rifles
when fleet-footed enemies were cas-
lily outdstanced.
Even their remarkable signaling
system has not saved them. Ernest
Seton-ThompsOn has explained how,
on approach of some strange object,
the antelope through a set Of muscles
raises with a jerk the hairs on the
white rump patches on either side.
This flash shines afar like patch
of snow, and the message is read by
all who have noses to read, for with
the flash of hair is liberated an odor
Of musk from a gland located in
patch Of brown hair in the white
bloom.
The fash Is given and away they
go. If the flash is not seen their
keen sense of smell carries the mes
sage even over long distances.

What's the User

The business on a suburban line had
increased very rapidly, but there were
not enough trains or cars to accom-
modate the passengers. The over
crowding caused many serious dscom.
forts. The superintendent was called
before the board Of directors and was
asked:
why don't you Immediately put on
more trains and cars?"
"Well,' he replied, what would be
the use? They are settling so fast
along the line that the people would
all them up and overcrowd them just
as before"

Gas escaping from a sitting room
heater so affected Mr.. and Mrs, Gil

that Mr.. and Mrs. LaFerrier inhaled

not so badly affected left the house

Wood Has Bad Reputation.

Elder is of ill-omen since Judas,
they say, hanged himself thereon, yet
it has the virtue Of beauty in the days
of wild roses and honeysuckle. Elder
tOwer-water is good for compilations,
say rustic maids, and Old-time farmers
claim for elderberry-wne that it is
~ pretty tidy tipple.'
Though the elder-wOod is dank,
weed-infested place, it is to the liking
of rabbits, that always seem to abound
there.
Such woods cumber the ground, but
here and there the superstition holds
good that to cut or burn elder is to
arouse the wrath of the trees dryad,
and so they are spared.
