HOW TO DO IT

It was his first great speech, and he wanted to make it tell-something to label him for once and all as the greatest orator ever.
 His oration was long and passion ate, and he wished to end it with d warning. He could have couched his warning in the old proverb about locking the stable door after the horse was stolen, but that was too commonplace. He wanted something original.
 He quickly thought of something better. Then he shouted;
 Don't, fellow countrymen and citi- zens, l beg you, don't wait till the house takes fire before you summon the firemen. ongregationalist.

T know there are mothers who think that their children belong to them body and soul, and that they have perfect right to exact any sacrifice of them. l have known talented women who have been baked in their ambitions by ty- rannical and exacting mothers, and have seen pretty girls grow into faded old maids nursing neu- rotic mothers who would not have a hired attendant.
 And I've known more than one whining old woman who kept a snuffy old bachelor son dancing at tendance upon her. and who told you how 1t would have killed her for her son to marry; how she made him promise that he would never leave her; how she broke off a love af- fair that he had in his youth, and how she knew that he was so much happier with her than he would have been with a wife, because no wife would have been as particular about cooking him the things he wanted as she was.

tine selfishness, and from being cruel enough to offer up my child as a sacrifice to myself.
 Personally. I feel that I could do no wickeder thing than to keep my son from marrying.
 He Is, to begin with, a man of domestic taste, a born family man. the sort of man who could never be happy living In clubs, playing poker and listening to mems gossip for a lifetime. He must have his own home. his own vine and fig tree, his own wife and children, and I would be worse than a fiend If I cut him off from all of this If I kept him from the sweetness of 6 wife's love and companionship, the comfort of his own hearthstone and the joy of feeling his baby's arms about his neck.
 My son loves me. We are un- usually companion able. I am an old and experienced hGusekeeper. Doubt less 1 make him far more comfort able than his young wife will But I am not foolish enough to think that my home Is really home for him, or that mothers love takes the place of wife's love, or that l am the soul satisfying company to him that his mate will be.
 'Tve tried to keep young to be chum to him but it's a hollow pre- tense we both see through We be long to different generations. We enjoy different things, and while he is eterrally interesting to me and I never weary of his society, I know that do not really interest him, and that when he listens to the chronicle of my little day 1t Is only through a sense of filial duty. I should hate to think of his having to be bored all hls life with no companionship save that of an old mother.
 "In the course of nature my son will outlive me. I could not bear to think of how lonely he would be if I kept him from marrying, and so had prevented him from having any tic of family affection. l wonder that the women who object so to their sons marrying never consider that. There is nc sadder sight than that of the old bachelor with no woman to look after him, no one to care whether he is sick or well, mo- body to bear him company on that last dreary lap of the journey tC the grave"
 "But your son will love his wife better than he does you" persisted the friend.
 T hope so," replied the mother flor If he doesn't it will mean that his marriage is failure. I love my son so much better than I do myself that my only happiness Is in seeing him happy. That is mother-lCve. All the balance is mother -selfishness."
