"I was always a careless boy," says Thomas Litlison, in his biogra phy; ''and with a mother of differ ent mental caliber I should proba bly have turned out badly. Hut her firmness, her sweetness, her goodness, were potent powers to keep me in the right path. 1 re member I used never to be able to gel along at school. I don't know why it was, but 1 was always at the loot of the class. 1 used to feel that the teachers never used to sympathize with me, and that my father thought I was stupid, and at last 1 almost decided thai I must really be a dunce. My moth er was always kind, always sympa thetic, and she never misunder stood or misjudged me. But I was afraid to tell my difficulties at school, for fear she, too, might lose her confidence in me. One day I overheard the teacher tell the inspector that I was 'addled,' and it would not be worth while keeping me in school any longer. 1 was so hurt by this last straw that 1 burst out crying, and went and told my mother about it. Then I found out what a good thing a mother was. She came out as my strong defender. "Mother love was aroused; mother pride was wounded to the quick. She brought me back to the school, and firmly told the teacher that he didn't know what he was talking about. In fact, she was the most enthusiastic cham pion a boy ever had, and I deter mined right then that I would be worthy of her and show her that confidence was not misplaced. "My mother was the making of me. She was so true; and I fell thai I had some one to live for, some one I must not disappoint. The memory of her will always be a blessing to me." NOT FOR HIM. J. B. Kagan, New York hotel man, was telling apropos of a champagne dispute, champagne stones, according to the Philadel phia Hecord. "Mean men should never drink champagne." said Mr. Regan. "They can't enjoy it, you know. They think, wiih every swallow, 'There goes 35 cents.' "Once, on the Maureunia, a man asked me for a seasickness cure. " 'Drink,' I said to him, 'a half buttle of ch imp.ign-' just before you feel the seu'.iekness coining ' " 'Oh, he said, with a worried look, 'wouldn't gin,"' '' a'1-' do iiM as well.

Philadelphia, Pa. Let me today do something that shall take A little sadness from the world's vast store, And may 1 be so favored as to make Of joy's too scanty sum a little more, Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend; Nor would 1 pass, unseeing, worthy need, Or sin by silence when I should defend. However meager be my worldly wealth, Let me give something that shall aid my kind, A word of courage or thought of health, Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find. Let me tonight look across the span 'Twixt dawn and dark and to my conscience say Because of some good act to beast or man The world is better that I lived today. A WOMAN'S SiVlllE. A woman's smile and lo, The earth turned beautiful where'er men go, The shadows fleeing in a wind of song, And hearts grow br?ve with courage as of old When knights in service of old loves and long Trod ways turned fields of very cloth of gold; Morning within the weather, And hearts as light as feather, Beating responsive to the sunny sweet Of every smile a woman's lips repeat. A woman's smile, and then, The youth of all the world come back again; Green lanes of glowing summer, twittering birds, The heavens above a blue of perfect peace, And on the hills the quiet feedings herds, And in the meadows sheep with snowy fleece; Flowers with their petals merry, Bells on the feet of fairy, Every fellow light cf tread To know that love burns o'er his head. A woman's smile, and I Shall 1 see myself tl e sky Glow brighter for a thousand years to come, And all the pleasant voices in me dumb Wake to the urgent music of the spheres, And bring again the happy golden years Of beauty, gladness, nirth, Underneath a woman's smiling Leading me to paths beguiling Heart and soul and m nd away Unto a lover's holiday!

Electric Hitters a spring tonic. The first question a man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is a respectable girl or not. You see how it raises a doubt at once. This being the case, sure ly no modest girl can afford the slightest degree of this pastime. When the dawn is brushed from a peach the beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and, and so when a young girl throws lightly aside that sweet and mod est reserve so becoming to a maiden and which so elevates her and I enables her to command the respect of all, she loses her great est charm and becomes rather common and cheap; to use no rash term. Flirting may seem to the giddy and thoughtless girl to be wonderfully amusing, and the men may even get an idea that she is quite fascinating but it is a most degrading thing and should be frowned upon by every young lady who has an ambition to become a worthy and charming woman. A LONG DROP. Or a Fine to Attempt to j Deceive the Men. At last it has come to this. We ' feared as much, but when these i women commenced to get intopol-1 itics there was no telling what ! wouldn't happen. Out in Kansas : they have introduced a bill in the . legislature which says that if wo men under 45 years of age wear j ear-rings or treat their faces to cosmetics for the purpose of creat-' ing a false impression, they will re guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction be fined. Now what do you think of thai? Of course this means all women for all women are under forty-live years of age. , But to create a false impression what can that mean? When the old girl who has a few wrinkles and a few blotches con eludes to hide these def rmities, which Father Time gently brings and leaves, by putting on a little paint and powder, by attaching to her ears a few glistening diamonds, is it to deceive or to please the one who gazes at the wondrous charms? The bill provides that "face powder, pefume, false hair or bleaching materials" must not be used and how in the name of Wonder could a woman, with the changing styles not wear false hair now and then? Some of these fashions and creaiions in hats call for all the stock of a mattress fac tory to rig the head gear in order that the hat may stay on. Long have we viewed Kansas as the home of freaks. It was in Kansas that John Brown started on his wild career; it was in Kansas that Carrie Nation lived and Sock- less Jerry had his being, it was in Kansas that populistic whiskers gained the PhieHer flavor and in Kansas that Old Man Bender killed his men. But we had thought that when saloons were no more out there; when men took on their sober second thought, the freak business would come to a stand still. But not so. It is of the soil and the hope is that the bill will not pass. But where is the man who would go into court and con fess that his lady love had handed him an artificial hair factor) and that her beauty her blush and bloom had been bought at a drug store.

Every man, woman and child ought to think well of the lesson taught by this exlample The fire demon is the sword of destruction that ever hangs above the head of the people. If you knew that by the mere snipping of a thread all that you had saved would be wiped out, wouldn't you ever be on the alert to see that the thread was not snipped? More property is destroyed by fire than by all other destroying elements combined. Storms come with the seasons, and warnine of their coining is generally given. Winds reach a destructive velocity at but rare intervals and floods follow expeced courses. But fires are catholic in their field. They visit the just and the unjust and everywhere there is food for the fire demon he finds his victuals. Be on the watch tower of your home all the time. He fattens on your own folly.
