MOTHERS
INFAMOUS
y " MEN
MOTHER OF JAMES J. HILL

HE is the son of his mother" That
short. comprehensive sentence writ
ten about so many of the worlds
great men, was said of James ]. Hill.
"the railroad king" of Canada and
the United States and president dur
ing the latter part of his life of the
Great Northern railroad. His form,
features, mental characteristics and
ambition" went on the biographer,
ARE the endowment of mother to
SON."
So it is interesting to note what
these mental characteristics of the
mother were, and. according to this
same biographer, she was most I'M
usual woman. Strong, he calls her.
and frank. Also fearless, honest,
sane and poised. What greater en-
dowment could any woman pass on
to a child Particularly when the
above mentioned qualities are leay-
ened by a quick, fine spiritual quail
ityr and an understanding of life's
more delicate sides.
"She was woman of decided per
sonality" reads the description. She
had the columnar neck that goes only
with superb bodily vigor-the nose
was large. the chin firm and mouth
strong. She looked like a Spartan,
save for the pensive eyes that gazed
upon the world, hungry and wistful,
The woman certainly had ambitions
and aspirations, which were unsatis-
fled"
Most of her ambition was centered
in her son. She had little time to
dream dreams for herself, being too
busy working on the rocky, tough old
Canadian farm. But she had big
visions for her boy, and her fondest
hope was for him to become doctor.
Fate chose otherwise, however and
gave the mother a greater son than
even the one she had dreamed of.

ONER1cK ADAY
THE UNRELIABLE GLASS

Fill glass with water to the very
top SO that If drop or two more
were added it would surely overflow.
Now take paper of pins and drop
one in, point foremost, and very
carefully. The water does not over
flow. Add another pin in the same
manner. Keep up this action until
fifteen or twenty pins have been
placed in the water. 1t will become
more and more mystifying as you
have finally dropped in a sufficient
number Of pins to almost fill the
glass, and still the water does not
overflow. Without doubt, you Will
then be called a real magician.
For the sake of diversion, repeat
the experiment with pennies. You
will not be able to fill the glass with
them, but you will find yourself able
to drop in good-sized handful
without spilling drop.

Ka0AeAy eAnAy

1t was just like a. great big picnic
party out under the trees, in front
of the Magical Castle.
There was Raggedy Ann and Rag
gedy Andy and Marggy and her
Mamma and Daddy and Mr.. Doodle
and Mrs. Doodle and the Knight and
his wife and little boy, and the lit
tie boy, and the Boliver and the
Snarlyboodle.
Raggedy Ann and Marggy and her
Mamma and Daddy had brought from
the castle a great big table cloth
which they spread upon the soft
grass, and upon the table cloth We're
baskets filled with all kinds Of
goodies.
There were ice cream cones, choco-
late cakes. lady fingers and lot of
other kinds of cookies, sandwiches,
pickles and strawberry milkshakes.
The straw berry mill<shakes were in
magic bottles. which, when emptied,
just filled right up again, so that
everyone could have as many straw
berry milkshakes as they wished.
And if we wish anything else, all
we will have to do is to go into the
wonderful castle and bring it OUT"
Marggy's Daddy said, for there are
so many wonderful things inside the
castle. it is very easy matter to get
everything, just by wishing for it,"
But they had so many good things
to eat no one could think of a single
thing more.
And what do you think? AS Rag
gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and
their friends were having their lovely
picnic lunch out in front of the won
derful Magic Castle and were laugh
ing and having the incest time, the
| funny creatures who had been chased
away into the woods, came slipping
out from behind the stones and
stumps where they had been hiding,
and creeping along very quietly they
slipped right up to the door of the
Wonderful Magic Castle before any
of our friends discovered them.
Oh, look." the Bo1iver cried as he
jumped to his feet, the funny crea-
| lures are going into the Castle"
When the funny creatures saw that
our friends had discovered them, they
hurried inside and slammed the door
behind them before the Boliver, who
was the first to reach there, could
get inside, to hold the door open.
Now, we have lost the Wonderful
Magic Castle and all the wonderful
magic things insde" Marggy's
Daddy cried as he sat down upon a
stone and wept Marggy and her
Mamma sat down on stones and wept,
| too. SO did Mr.. Doodle and his wife
and the knight and his wife and
little boy. Even the Boliver and the
| Snarlyboodle sat upon stones and
wept, for it made them feel very sad
to think that they would not get in
side the Magical Castle to live with
Marggy and her Mamma and Daddy.

HEN SHINING EYES
YOUR SLUMBER
WATCIl

Dreams of most varied meaning
are those in which a pair of eyes
become the dominating subject. Re-
member what have so often sad
to yourpay no attention to the Incl
dent or episodes that seem to have
only little to do with the vision it
self, and in no other dreams is it so
necessary to separate the important
from the unimportant as in these.
Just so soon as you recall that a
pair of eyes seemed to be the focal
point of the dream. just so soon
mcst you discard all other impress
sions and concentrate upon the main
object.
Eyes, which seem deep-set, no mat
ter what color
Deep eyes, amid the gloom,
Shining like jewels in shroud.
are messengers of death, if dry If
filled with tears, they are omens of
Illness.
Dark brown or black eyes, tell of
achievements of riches, Of success
BLACK eyes, with wondrous. witch
ing charm,
Do bring US good. can work no
harm"
Blue eyes are lights Of love. If
dark blue
Eyes that shame the wallet
"Or the dark drop that on the pansy
lies"
are mirrors of happy married life.
Light blue,
Eyes like spring, in whose serene
And silent waters heaven is SEEM"
are flirtation's handmaidens. If tears
are seen in blue eyes, then love will
turn to sorrow and joy to regret.
Hazel eyes are friendships heralds.
If they seem to smile,
Like topaz set in ivory band,
Like pearls found on sandy strands"
you may count upon kindly deeds. Ii
they are filled with tears, you will
be betrayed by one whom you
trusted.
Green eyes are signs Of danger. So
are the eyes of animals. To see the
eyes of a child means innocent pleas
ures, but to see red-ribbed eyes, or
small, unpleasant-loo eyes, or
the eyes of the aged, or squirting
eyes, is ever a bad omen, telling you
that you had better be careful whom
you trust lest you come to a point
where others, knowing too much
about you, have you in their power.
To see closed eyes means that you
will be powerless against certain in
fluences that surround you and upon
which much of your worldly com
fort and well-being depends. If they
are suddenly opened you will be able
to win out in whatever contest you
undertake. If they remain closed, you
will have to drift with the tide, for
fate has decreed that you shall be
the plaything of others.
Eyes that seem to eXude a malign
! light are proof that you harbor evil
thoughts or designs. They are not the
eyes of others-they are your own,
real souls eyes which look upon you
and tell you the truth about yourself.

one-half pound citron (cut thin,) one
half pound clipped figs, one pound
