And then at ! last on that day when she lay in the back room dying, and you saw : her lake those thin hands with i which she had toiled for you so ; long, and put them together in a I dying prayer thai commended you to the God she had taught you to trust oh, she was the queen ! The chariots of God came down to I fetch her, and as she went in all heaven rose up. You cannot think i of her now without a rush of ten i derness that stirs the deep founda- lions of your soul, and you feel as much a child again as when you I cried on her lap, and if you could i bring her back again to speak just once more your name as tenderly ; as she used to speak it, you would i be willing to throw yourself on the i ground and kiss the old sod that i covers her, crying: "Oh, Mother, ! Mother !" Ah, she was a queen ! -Ex. The man who is trying to reform the world generally keeps a dog thai barks all night. Vi'hen a girl gels so along in years she has to cut down her age ' the strongest believer in her figures is her mother. I used to hate Bill Hazleton, for once he done me wrong, And when I hate a man my hate is deep and wide and strong; X'e traded horses years ago; ihe one 1 got from him, It seemed was crippled up somehow in almost every limb; l ie lied like sixty, and 1 vowed some lime I'd break his head, Hut well, lei bygones be bygones -his little boy is dead. I used to love the girl he goi; I guess she loved me, loo, Hut he went tellin' her a lot of things thai wasn't true; I found ii out long afterward, when I had ceased to care, Because I'd learned lo love again but still it wasn't fair; And so I vowed to make him eat the words that he had said, But well, let bygones be bygones his linle boy is dead. Last night 1 met him in the road; it was a lonely place; Lord, how I'd often wished that I could meet him face to face! I know that in a stand-up fight he'd have no chance ai all; I'm six feet in my socks, and he is scrawny-like and small; He looked up at me when we met; I seen his eyes were red, And well, let bygones be bygones his little boy is dead. I've found out what it is to love a child that is your own To have a little chap around that worships you alone; I've found out what it means to watch a little face grow pale, And I know what it means when all the doctor's efforts fail; Poor Bill ! I'm sorry now because of certain things I've said, For well, let bygones be bygones his little boy is dead. Do Not He Ashumed of the Folks at Home. Old LIFE'S INN. The Wide World stands a-welcoming beside the sunny way, For page and squire and knight and dame to halt and ride away; And crimson sweet ihe roses flamed that lay upon my breasi, When all the world was but an inn, and I a welcome guest. The knights were lion-hearted and their ladies lily fair, The silver armor glittered bright upon the roadway there. When each far distant turning held ihe promise of a guest. And all the world was but an inn, and I a welcome guest. No knock was there of Misery nor step of grimy Toil: But bold Adventure raised the latch, his palfrey heaped with spoil, When Romance flew to hold his rein and wait on his behest, When all the world was but an inn, and I a welcome guest. And what care I thai youth must fade, and love locks turn to gray ? Forsooth, at every inn the' lies some reckoning to pay ! I've warmed my heart beside their fire, partaken of their best, When all the world was but an inn, and I a welcome guest. So why should I complain and curse in spiieful accents shrill Because another draws his rein, my wanted place to fill? But ere Old Age the taper takes, lo light me to my rest, I'll draw his chair and drink his health, and make himja welcome guest.

And this is a point of view he pre sents with which one must sympathize. It is that the dis tractions of city life, ever on the increase, are destroying the reading habit. And the reading habit destroyed; the public must necessarily descend ! into a condition of ignorance. ; If it is not one thing it is an- 1 other. The automobile, the ! flying machine, the motor boat, ! the theatre, golf, and the card i party; everything but reading. ''Every one is on the move. Our homes are almost deserted and we rarely see the lights of our reading lamps. Ministers complain of empty churches. Men who used to kneel at the altar may be seen on the road of a Sunday lying humbly on their backs in the sand, pray ing to a new god and trying to soften his heart with oil or open the gates of meicy with a mon key wrench." Every one is on tho move who can tind the way. On Sunday it is the same. Church attendance is neglected. Men maintain their pews in church, but thev are tilled, if filled at all, by staangers. After a while, it is easy to fores'ee.they will consider the neglected pew a poor investment, and the church will have to get along without their aid. However, the case is not entirely hope less. There will always be a few left to prefer the country as a place of residence, and these few may serve to keep our printing presses running and our authors reasonably bu sy. Let us hope so, at least. Rochester Herald. POOR ADVICE. Allow us to say a regard to the eyes. ears ago, If you asked a girl point blank j "Are you ashamed of your par- j ems?" she would answer indig-j nantly. "No, of course I am not!" and yet at the same lime it' either j one of them made a mistake in ! grammar or in what their modern i daughter considered social eti-' queue, she would look conscious and embarrassed. i A great many young people are j ashamed of what they call their parents' "old-fashioned ideas." i It is not at all unusual to hear a girl i j exjlaim impatiently, "Oh, mother, i 1 you don't understand, they don't I j do those things now-a-days." j A girl is ashamed because her father puts slippers on in the even- ing and perhaps lakes off his coat. ! It does not look very well to see i him in his shirt sleeves, but you i must remember that he has worked ; hard all his life and it has always been a rest to remove his shoes : and coat when he got home, and i he is loo old to change lifelong ' habits and ii would be cruel to i force him to. Remember, young man and young woman ot touay, mat your parents have grown old and weary j in working that you should have j an easier life than they. You have had a better education, better clothes, a more luxurious home. You have no right to try ; and swing things around to suit ' your modern taste. j It is their home. They earned i it, and the fact that ii cost you noih- i ing does not give you the right to ; : dictate. The daughter goes to school and I I gets new-fangled ideas. VThen I j she comes home ihe parlor that' ; has been her mother's pride and ! i joy is not good enough for Miss Modern. The old things must go and sometimes much more hideous ' ' modern things appear in their i ; place. ', I The daughter is ashamed to ! ! bring her friends to such an old-1 ' fashioned place. She is ashamed 1 the 1 of her mother's apgon, ashamed of her father's shirt sleeves. What she really ought to be ashamed ol is her own snobbishness. Kemember that outsiders always ; think more of the unaffected old j people than they do of the pert I youngsters. You haven't lime in; all the rest of your lives to make up to your parents forallihey have done for you. ; Now is your chance to lift some of the burden from their tired shoulders. j If you are a young man you can i help your father greatly by making him feel that you are a responsible ; person, in wnom ne may connac and trust. There are endless ways for a girl to help her mother. Don't let the lime slip until it is too late. l.ilU YOUrt r000 DDES NOT DIGEST "blur'' :ui. lli.il ,! iM'OimiU'r .( 1! ;ind )uit It you vliintU !

Let us consult our blackboards and see what they can tell lis about the world wide subject. l'arents and guardians all over this broad land, how many hours through the day are your little children sitting in school staring at a blackboard, upon which are placed by the teacher most of the lessons for I the day, many times the lines being so tine and pale they i could not be easily read more than half or two-thirds the way across tho room, but the chil- j dren are required to see them j all the way across and from the remotest corners. Many of the children when first looking at the board do not seo much of nnything but by looking! verv shai n for a few seconds ' '. the lines reveal themselves. I This, mv friend, means strain-1 ed eyesand strained eyesnieans ' Marrying for weakened or diseased optic nerves, possibly 10 eyes at all, all depending upon the severi ty of the strain. Even when the work is quite distinct, for children who have naturallv weak eyes the distance many times is so great that tho air waves coming between the poor, tired eyes and the board caase tho lines to waver and flicker, and especially is this tho case when the light is jioor and the ventillation is bad. Anything put oil the board for children to see, whether old or young, should have large pro portions and broad, clear lines throughout, so no extra efforts will have to be made to discov er it? There is a great differ ence in eyes; one child will readily see what another could not without the fatal strain. Wants to Help Some One. l or thirty years . I. V.
