MOTHERS DAY
BY ARTHUR ESPINCLA
sesoeSsssesse es sees sooos

There are no flags a-waving,
Nor brass-bands do you hear,
But to me this day will always be
The greatest day of the year.
Let us try to bear in mind,
That today is Mothers Day,
And the least that one can do
Is to close ones eyes and pray:
No truer love will you ever find,
Than that of your Mother dear,
So treat her with a nice big kiss
For this day comes but once a
year.

MOTHERS DAY

What could there be more pleas
ing
Or more blessings upon you un-
fold
Than a little gift to Mother,
Who is feeble and growing old.
For you she toiled and struggled,
To guide you day by day
Now show her that you love her
Though her hair has turned to
gray.
The, greatest day of all the days,
It comes but once each year;
So try and make some sacrifice
To bring your Mother cheer.

the size and weight of a silver quar-

door, and he asked uneasily: ''What
are you after, Tope? 1t all looks
plain enough to me-"
Tope answered mildly: swell, I
don't like questions unless know
the answers to them. For instance,
did something happen to the tele-
phone circuit over the hill last
night? Did something happen to the
electric current? Did the Hurders
most generally bolt their front door
when they went to bed? And why
do folks like those people on the hill
let some one squat on their land the
way you say this Glovere does? And
how does it happen he's so friendly
with Miss Leaford when she hasn't
got any other friends? And where
did that bottle go?"
Heale grinned and scratched his
head; and Doctor Derrie said, in a
sardonic anger: @
If you're trying to make a muir
der out of this, can tell you where
to start. Miss Leaford put her
mother to bed, gave her the dose.
She was the last one to see Mrs.
Leaford alive and the first to see
her dead. Begin with the girl!

CHAPTER VI

June Leaford loved her mother,
patiently and tenderlys but there
was something more, an intangible.
Kitty Leaford, whose latter days
were such sad and dreary ones,
had once been gay; once she had
known romance; once for the sake
of love she had dared greatly. Even
June had seen sometimes the CLINT
Of shining arrnor in her eyes. A
single valorous action, though 1t
may fail, and be punished endlessly,
does nevertheless in degree ennoble
the soul; and Kitty Leaford had once
done valiantly.
But now Kitty Leaford was dead,
and June moved like q person in q
nightmare. Doctor Cabler had
brought her home, wrapped in his
greatcoat but drenched and SILVER
ing still; and they found the door
open, the hall half-flooded. They
crept up the stairs like conspirators,
and so came into the room where the
pitiless illumination of an unshaded
electric bulb revealed this upon the
bed. DR.. Cabler made his brief
examination.
'She is dead, yes" he said. "But
] don't think Wen wake the old peo-
pie just now. The middle of the
night is a cruel time for bad news.
I'll 60 next door and get Rab or Asa
to help me-"
But June said in q cool voice:
Mother wouldn't like that"
And without weakness or waver-
ing, she helped Doctor Cabler do
what was required; not till this was
done would she permit him to sum-
mon anyone.
She did not know how long it was
before Asa came to her.

Monument Absolves Indians Of Guilt
Once Attributed to Prank of Youth

Grandsons Of the first settlers
near Hudson, Mich, have paid, as
best they can, a debt to the Potta-
watomie Indians incurred because
of what apparently was merely a
prank Of a Pottawatomie STRIPPING.
For three years, residents at Lick
ley Corners have worked on a monu-
ment near the land once called
Squawfield, last Michigan camping
place of the Pottawatomies. The
monument recently has been dedi-
Gated.
The history has been handed down
from one generation to the next.
More than century ago, the ac-
counts relate, a Pottawatomie boy,
playing with white boys, brandished
his knife around the head Of white
playmate.
The whites were incensed at what
they thought was an attempted
scalping. But Bawbeese, chief of
the tribe, explained that the boy
was merely joking.
Most Of the whites apparently took
Bawbeese's explanation at face val
ue; a few others, covetous of land
held by the Indians, used the Incl
dent as an excuse to have them
moved to a western reservation as
dangerous and not to be trusted.
r. M. ,Lickley, spokesman for the
group which built the monument to
the Pottawatomies and Bawbeese,

The Twelve Caesars

The twelve Caesars were julius
Caesar and the eleven emperors fol-
lowing him, most of whom were
from his family. Nerva was chosen
by the senate, and was the first to
select successor without regard to
family. Following are the names
and dates Of the reigns Of the
twelve: julius Caesar, "A B. c.;
Augustus, 81 B. C. to IA A. D.: tt

The title Caesar was given to all of
the Roman emperors, until the time
of Hadrian, after whom Caesar was
the title of the heir of the throne,
and the title of the emperor was
Augustus.

And she obeyed in silent sub
mission. In her own room she real
lied that she was still drenched,
wet, cold. She changed into a dry
nightgown and lay down. She ex-
pected to stay sleepless till dawn;
and in fact she did lie long enough
awake to hear the Doctor return,
and hear Aunt Evie in the hall.
Then she fell asleep; and when
she woke, the sun was shining. She
opened her door and saw strange
man in black coat 60 quietly into
her mothers room and shut the
door behind him. t
Below-stairs, when she descended,
all these kin Of hers were gathered
together. Grandma Hurder was cry
ing quietly, tears glistening on her
gray cheeks. She sat erectly in
her chair. June as she came down
stairs heard Grandma Bowdon say
in a heavy anger: "Utterly incon-
siderate. No other word describes
it." And as June entered the room,
Aunt Evie remarked, in her gentle,
whispering voice:
81 was concerned about Kitty last
night. You remember, she had a
headache. / know what it is to have
headaches. I have suffered myself
and Kitty was sick with them, really
sick sometimes"
She continued, in her pitiless soft
tones: "Kitty resented life so deep
ly. And there was always rebel
in her. She would never be happy.
I am not surprised"
June stopped in the doorway, in
credulous and bewildered, trying to
understand the implication in their
words. Rab and Asa were in the
room, but they did not see June.
Grandpa Hurder was here in the
hall, walking ceaselessly up and
down.. Then Uncle Justus came in
through the kitchen, and said some
thing about breakfast, in the hollow
voice of the deaf; and Grandpa Hur-
der shouted into his ear: s
"Ktty's deadl"
"Eh?" said Uncle Justus.
Aunt EVE came swiftly past June
and went to silence him; and Grand
ma Bowdon repeated in a grim an
ger:
"She was always selfish. No con-
sheraton q
June cried in passionate stifled
anger: "Oh!" she strobe swiftly
into the room. ''What do you
mean?" she demanded. "What dc
you mean?"
"June," said Grandma Bowdon
severely. mind how you speak to
me-"
But Grandpa Hurder said stern
ly in the doorway: ''Kitty was cruel
fied!" There was the dignity of an.
ger in him in this moment. "Cruci-
fed" he said. Long ago."
June pressed her hands to her
lips, understanding what it was they
thought. "She didn't! She didn't"
she cried. She turned to escape
she went out through the front door.
But there was a garland of rib.
bons on the doorknob, so she re.
turned indoors again. Later she
slipped out of the house, this time
by the side door so as not to see
that garland; she moved directly
away from the house, into the tract
of wooded land behind. Here she
could be alone.
There was a sound at some dis
lance; and she raised her head,
without other movement, to see
what it was. She saw Asa 60 quietly
past, little way off among the
trees, and without seeing her, along
path that led to the bluff above
the pond, where Uncle Jim Glovere
had his cabin; it passed beyond,
down to the highway near Thayer's
filling-station. And of course this
was the way she took when she
went to see Uncle Jim.
He would know how to comfort

first such honor for the tribe, as
serts:
1--WE have yet to find a historical
record where Bawbeese or any of
his tribe ever committed an atroc-
ity. We have thought for some time
that the Pottawatomies should be
publicly exonerated and should have
recognition for their many kind
nesses to our forefathers."
