mon circulation may recall that the
first regular gold piece struck in
England was-a pennyi This became
part of the currency in 1857, and
weighed about 45 grains, being the
equivalent of 20 of the contemporary
silver pennies. It's prototype was the
benant, gold piece belonging to
Byzantium, which had been current
for centuries, but the English penny
was far better executed coin than
it's original. 1t appeared but once
in our coinage and only two or three
examples have survived. No one in
England will be sorry for the disap-
pearance of the paper currency of war
times.-Montreal Family Herald.

Tell mother your small joys and sor-
rows and ask her adyice-it will be
good.
Ask mother to tell you about her
girlhood-you'll both enjoy it.
Mother is a girl too. She likes pretty
things, love, laughter and compliments.
Give her some.
The spirit of this celebration is
right enough. The letter of it fails.
Nobody can tell you how to observe
Mothers Day. You know. If she's a
red carnation mother make her happy.
If she's a white carnation mother, do
something that would make her happy
if she were a red carnation mother
Nobody can draw up a celebration
schedule for Mothers Day. How can
one, when nobody can find adequate
words to write about Mothers Day?
Mothers Day is something new in
the way of holidays-not like Christ
mas and Easter which are old, old
holidays. And it's new, compared with
the Fourth of July. In fact, it's just
about the newest holiday we have.
1t was no longer ago than 1905 that
Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia, hon.
oring the memory of her own mother
on the anniversary of her death, con-
ceived of day of which everyone
should do reverence TO his mother,
whether living or dead. The Worlds
Sunday School association adopted the
plan, and, in the next few years, an
nually designated one Sunday as
Mothers Day. The purposes of this
celebration, as stated by Dr. George
W. Bailey, then president of the asso-
citation, were:
"To recall the memories Of the
mothers that are gone, and through
loving words and loving care to
brighten the lives Of the mothers that
remain, and to help children, men and
women to a greater blessing in honor
ing their fathers and their mothers.
ITO recall mothers prayers, moth
er's dying words, and the promises
made to mother by the big boy that
still mourns her, and to stop and think
little of what she was In her life to
her family"
In 1908 Miss Jarvis founded an or
ganization now known as Mothers Day
International association.
The idea was taken up by the states.
In 1910 the governor Of Washington
issued proclamation designating
May s of that year as Mothers Day.
and urged it be celebrated by special

flower In honor of all mothers In 1912
the governor of Oklahoma issued a
similar proclamation.
National recognition was given
Mothers Day by resolution of the
Sixty-third congress, approved by the
President of the United States on May
8, 1914, designating that the second

EXAMPLE OF HIGH FINANCE
Many Who Go Into the Game Come
Out of 1t Feeling Like This
Country Boy.

Representative Rosenbloom said at
dinner in Wheeling:
"The average man had better leave
high finance alone. When the average
man goes up against high finance he
generally feels like the farm boy.
"a city boy had half-dollar and
a circus had just come to town; but
the. cheapest circus ticket cost %
cents, and this put the city boy in a
hole.
But he was a financier in embryo,
and so he went right off to a pawn
brokers' and pawned his half-dollar
for 40 cents.
"Afterward he waylaid a country
boy, displayed his pawn ticket, and
offered to sell it for 35 cents. A half
dollar for 35 cents! OF course the
country boy snapped up that bargain.
1.-The city boy with his IS cents then
hurried off to the circus. The coun-
try boy, after he had worked out this
deal of his in high finance to the bitter
end, sought retired place and kicked
himself"

But, since human nature is human
nature, every day isn't observed as
Mothers Day. There is all the more
reason, therefore, for observing the
second Sunday in May-May IA, this
year-with a real celebration. Some
one has tried to figure out real cele-
bration after this fashion for sons:
Wear a flower in mothers honor
a white one if mother is dead; col
ored flower for a living mother.
Send mother box of spring flowers.
Write her letter-a long one.
Give mother whole day Of your
time for that good visit" she longs
for.
Send mother your picture, and snap
shots of your home, your children,
your work.
Tell mother your plans and ambi-
tions-she made them possible.
Tell mother your smaller troubles
she wants to help you.
Thank mother for her care and her
teachings-tell her how they have
helped you.

candy.
Mother was your first and truest
sweetheart-don't forget to say 81
love you'll"
For the daughters these things are
suggested:
It's your chance to say thank you
to your best friend-your mother.
Be sure to celebrate by wearing a
flower for mother: White for mothers
not living; colored flowers for mother
still with you.
Send mother some gay spring flow
ers, brilliant bouquet or a thrifty
plant.
Make a dainty cap or a 'dress-up''
gown or shirtwaist as a love gift to
mother.
If mother is far away, send her a
special delivery letter. for her Sun
day treat.
Send mother the book you just en-
joyed reading.
Don't forget to send her pictures of
yourself, your friends and your good
times.
