EARTH HAS NO SPECIAL SEASON FOR A

MOTHERS LOVE Sunday, May 9Th is Moth
ers Day All over the country this special day
mas been set aside to do honor to the mothers OF
the world. But every day is Mothers by. after
all. There is time, season OF the earth or OF
the heart, that is not mothers Day.
From the first moment, when God sets upon
her brow the wonderful halo of motherhood, to
that last day, when she leaves life desolate, each
day is hers, a pearl OF great price Sometimes it
is late when this realization comes to us. We are
so apt to take all the gracious deeds OF minlstra-
ton as a matter OF course. We prone to
forget the sacrifice, the care the love that have
gone into each day that she has spent with us.
God made mothers to keep the world sweet and
sane. Through all the petulancles OF childhood,
through all the aspirations the despars the hopes
the discouragemonts, the desolations OF lie her
love follows, an unWavering light OF benedicuon
There are words silvcrn and beautiful, III which
one may speak ii the love OF youth; there are
words ringing and golden, that may tell OF the love
of life; there are words like flame that may
voice the love Of country, but no one may ind
words that speak mothers love
For the words that speak OF mother love- that
call to mind the long hours OF her tender care, the
days Of her uniailing courage the depth OF her
sacrifice the beauty of her service and the glory
of her love, are words that close and sacred
IN the heart, and are whispered only i'll the still
watches Of the night, in prayer to an all wise faith
er who made mothers to bless the world

By M!

centennial CON
The Monroe Doctrine is being hon
cred in centennial remembrance by
the minting OF new half dollar which
IS said to be the most beautiful in de-
sign and execution ever put out bv
the Z. S. Government. The heads
OF Monroe and Adams are seen on
the one side OF the coin and an out
lined map of North and South Amer
lea on the other with the suggestion
OF draped figures extending hands
with the laurel OF peace. Between the

Wages for Convicts
The plan OF paying the families of
convicts~for the services exacted while
held prisoners of the county and state
will be urged by the governor of
Georgia in his message to the legisla-
ture |convening in June. This system
IS in vogue in many other states and
has several advantages, first that the
families of the convicts shall not be
penalized to the extent of privation
and restitution which often results
with the only wage Garner of the fam
lily removed from his opportunity to
provide. After the state has kept out
enough of the convicts earnings to pay
tor his IInkaatN II &c advocated t1,% %I,a
surplus be turned over to the families
q the married men and laid by as
reserve fund for those who have no de-
pendents to be given them on the COM
p,etion OF their sentence.
Moral Reasons Too
The wage system for convicts as
recommended by the Governor serves
more than economic benefit. The eff
feet is moral and psychical too, for the
reserve fund may be useful in tiding
them over till job is found % 5 ~
| ing to prevent temptation to "c,i w Il
! life of crime
Where convicts work on the
piece system as in some penitentiaries
ii has been found that this use of wag
cs directly benefitting their families
has afforded great stimulus to good
and better work and this very spirit
has fine moral effect on any man and
particularly as contrasted with the de-
pressing effect of the usual prison me-
thods that tend to make the culprits
feel that they are complete failures,
that their families must suffer and CEN

Domestic Science for Boys

 During d recent storm the from sHp porting pillars of the house 7 N @aE so that the small structure tilted evor at an angle of about 25 degrees II "3. corner. A negro was sent n rem" e the furniture and came back a>hv MI fright, saying the place was haunted. He declared that he became violently Ill the moment he entered the house. and was thrown to the floor. The owner of the shack investigated and found that he, too, had been in the house only few minutes before he became sick Since news of the haunted house" has spread many have visited it; some have reported receiving electrical shocks in addition te the seasicknesS. One enterpriSing man leased the shack and began to charge admission, and was making money until the police arrested him for doing business without a license.
 Finally a party of newspaper men visited the house and stayed for the night Their opinion was that the sea sickness felt by au who entered the house was nc2 caused by ghosts. but by tbe angle at which the house is tilted and by the further fact that as they looked out of the house they saw the rolling waves of the Atlantic ocean.

In fact. the business of the nearby taXicab stands is as good a barometer of Wall streel as anything except, perhaps the mum Der of luncheons ser.ed at the Stock Exchange luncheon club.
 The chef of the luncheon club feels" the market as quickly as any one not actively eng god in finance. As a mat ter of fact, he has to keep his eye on the flicker, for a shaky market means one-half as many luneheons as a firm one. On "good days" more than 800 luncheons are served in the clubs restaurant. When everything is on the "skids' less than third of the clubs GOO members come up for their midday meal.
 And the days market is reflected in what the brokers order. If there is d healthy advance in steel, casserole dishes are more in demand than corn. beef hash. A sharp decline, however. means coffee and sandwich for many anxious traders-not only in the club but throughout the district.
