MOTHERS THRONE

A great deal is being said and
written about woman's position.
Superficial men and women are talk
ing about the broader field for wo-
men, about wOman's opportunities.
about her equality with man, and
about her rights. 1t would he most
difficult to find Il series of subjects
more disgusting, more superficial
and inimical 70 womans position.
1t may be that some poor, neglect
cd. long suffering and OScr burdcncd
wife has listened to the sirens song
of the larger liberties of woman.
She no doubt longs for the day when
she can open the front gate and
stroll the sidewalks Of unimpeded
female liberty.
1t may be these sentiments we're
born in the brain of some masculine
ly inclined women. They have
watched their poor degenerate
brothers marching forth as prodigal
SONS, and wondered why they could
not have the same rights.
Whether these subjects are dis
cusSed seriously or friyolously, all
will be compelled to arrive at the
conclusion that the highest, broad
est, deepest and grandest place on
earth is womans indcStructihle

You cannot send women to the
fields without neglccting the front
door of Gods mans!on-llome, sweet
Home. You cannot put women i'm

tion without turning the children
over TO the juvenile court and the
cold charity of the state. You can

men and continue 10 populate tho

above the sweep Of winds and the
flight of birds is woman's God-cre-

A most enjoyable reunion of
the descendants of Mr.. anG
Mrs. w. N. Johnson, was held
on the 18th at the home of Mr..
j. A. Johnson, a prosperous
farmer, two miles east Of
Washington.
The morning was spent on
the cool porches and under the
shade trees in gay chatter anG
listening to the strains of the
Victrola.
Basket lunches were opened
and spread on long tables be-
meath shady oaks, which CON
sisted Of every imaginable deli
cacy.
The table decorations were
cape jasamines and sweet peas.
After partaking Of the sub
stantials, the last course Of
ices and many kinds of deli
cious cakes was served.
In the afternoon homemade
marsh mallow candy anG ice
cream and cake were served
by fairy like little girls.
Such feast of good things,
such hearty good will and re-
newed associations will ever
make this a memorable occa-
sion.
After a o'clock the guests
entered their automobiles and
left for their various homes.
Those present were, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. w. Holt; Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Barrow; Mrs. RoXie

THE PEOPLES INDEPENDENCE.

The airship Shenandoah, sailing
toward Albany, above the Hudson,
last week, passed the Twentieth
Century, the fastest New York Cen
trail train, coming from Chicago.
The airsbip carried 100 human
beings, the express train many
more. The passengers on the fast
train benz their necks looking up
ward, and thought how strange it
was travelling up there in the air.
In a few years that well-ap-
pointed express train will be out of
date as the stage coach is now.
The young Vanderbilt boys and
George i. Baker, real boss Of the
New York Central, would do well
to begin planning now for trans

have the terminals, can raise money,
and should see the warning written
