WORDS OF WISDOM
IN MOTHER'S WILL
Short Document Worthy of
Place in Literature.
Worth more than all her personal
belongings was the compact of love,
piety, faith and common sense which
a New Tork woman left her family.
Like all the great things of life, the'
message is simple, and valuable enough
as an Item of Interest to the public at
■ large to find space In the newspapers.
The letter was written by Mrs. Lydla
Harding Hammond, widow of the Rev.
John Dennis Hammond, a Methodist
minister, to be read by the children
after her death. It runs as follows:
,"Dear Children —I've Just made my
will, and this Is to tell you what I want
done with my personal belongings.
Don't keep anything Just because it
was mine; they are Just things, and
worn and shabby at that; love doesn't
need such things for remembrance.
"Most of my books are old and many
of them I haven't looked Into for years.
I have loved and kept them because
they have enlarged my life. Henry is
to have them and my Bible, typewriter
and Verdun vase.
"I'won't be separated from any of
you, dear children. I'll Just be closer
to God and will understand better the
ways In which prayers and faith can
open way# through which Gbd can help
you and ! 111 be able at ldast to love
you with all my heart and without any
thing In that love that will make you
feel as if I wanted to control you or
bother you.
"Bury my body .as cheaply as you
can and forget It. Don't wear mourn
ing, unless, of course, 'Lynx' wants to.
And think of me as alive, alive beyond
your farthest thought, and near, and
loving you, and well at last, far as the
winds of heaven and learning more and
more the things I want to know and
growing more toward what God wants
me to become.
"I think, maybe, John will have our
home ready when I come and we'll
have a real home at last '
"Love one another. Hold fast to that
whether you understand one another
or not, and remember nothing really
matters "except being kind to one an
other and to all the world as far as
you can reach.
"Tour Lovlngest Mother."
Such faith as this Methodist minis
ter's wife displays, says the Boston
Globe, "is the best evidence of those
things this woman believed. She Uvpd
them and her faith revealed through
her will shines like a star 1 . -Here In
very truth Is the victory that overcom
eth the world, the life eternal, lived
now in the midst of time." Says the
New York Sun:"
"We prefer to accept this letter as
more nearly revealing the spirit which
today generally animates and Inspires
American family life than-to Join those
who see In occasional records of do
mestic discord, parental Inattention
and filial neglect true Indexes of the
national character. The beauty of
faith, and of hope, and of unselfish de
votion Its simple phrases record are
found In countless households from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes
to the Gulf. The power to set forth
the sentiments of loyalty and virtues
as Mrs. Hammond set them forth is
possessed by few, and this gives to her
letter a unique and universal valae."—

Military Etiquette
In the Jugoslav army there is to
be erf)served an interesting difference
in military, manners. • The army is
composed of Serbs, Croats and Slo
venes. The traditions of the Serbs
favor the spirit of comradeship be
tween officers and men. Off duty the
two regard each other as equals. The
Croats and Slovenes have been ac
customed to Austrian etiquette, which
'ls modeled on the Prussian, under
which the men an regarded as infe
rior creature*.

LIVE IN PRESENT,

"I read the news to keep young,"
Cliauncey Depew told the reporter*
who Interviewed him on his ninety
first birthday.
And that, in the terminology of a
flippant generation, was not "apple
sauce" for the young men of the prfcss.
Chauncey Depew not only reads the
news, but continues to be a part of
the news. He is active and alert at
ninety-one because be always has lived
in the present, the Minneapolis Jour
nal says. . l>
In youth Depew did not sit around
dreaiQlng of an impossible Utopia and
neglecting the opportunities of the
present. In age Depew does not sit
around mourning the passing of the
good old days and scorning the oppor
tunities of 1925.
When the threatening infirmities of
advancing years demanded certain
changes In the diet and. habits of this
remarkable man be made the changes
without a murmur, nor did he lerfear
betray him into a state of npar-invalld
ism. He merely followed his life rule
of accepting uncomplainingly what
ever time might bring him.
Japs Learn English
as Matter of Course
English Is. taught in the public
schools all over Japan. Letter, when I
came to travel widely in the interior, I
often found bright schoolboys four
teen or fifteen years old who would
volunteer as Interpreters, Theodore
Geoffrey writes In the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
In another generation English may
be a second language for the Japanese,
even as the Dutch today are competent
linguists, because the world cannot be
bothered to learn. Dutch. '*
English, unless a Japanese has been
educated abroad, becomes rather,
culiar In Japanese mouths, for ac
cording to Japanese custom, every con
sonant must be followed by a vowel,
and there Is no "1" or "v" or "th."
Thus "beer" becomes "bleru" ; "glass,"
"gurssu," and "hotel," "hoteru."

Luck
Ray Long, editor of the Hearst's

tells why. he doesnt believe in luck.
He thinks every man gets about what
he deserves. In proof he tells a story
In which Harris, theatrical pro
ducer, pointy the moral:
"Luck may,, be 5 per cent of life,
but the jdber 95.per cent —which is
what's lu the man—always decides
the outcolhe. I've met thousands of
people in every walk of.
life, and I never knew one who got
much more or less than he-deserved.

"Gifts like these clear the mind of

France, where even the farmers are
cyqlgs. The French termer, if there
was a Duke or an Eastman over there,
wouldn't aay cynically of friendship:
" 'Friends stick to you like your

PARENT HAVENS PROTECT
NESTLINGS FRO»M HARM.—
"I was once concealed in my
'hide,' watching and photo
graphing a pair of ravens at
their nest on a wild and
desolate crag'on the Welsh
mountains," writes Oliver G.
Pike. English ornithologist In
the London Spectator. "Among
other things I discovered that
they have a language of their
own. Several times during the
eight hours I spent In my
shelter the parents brought
food to their young.
"Long before the former, go}
to within sight of the nest the
young heard the loud call which
told them food was coming.
When they heard this they be
came very excited, ran about
the nest and gave out. answer
ing cries. Twice during the
day a man passed over the
mountains and ths parent raven
on guard high over the nest,
seeing him And looking upon the
intruder as an enemy, uttered
quite a different call
"Instantly the three young
birds threw themselves flat In
the nest and remained quite
motionless until they heard a
third cry, which again was dif
ferent from the others, which
told thepi the coast was clear.
Then they quickly Jumped up
and were Immediately at ease."
How France Encourage*
Id ecu of Matrimony
In order to encourage matrimony
In France, the Friendly Society of
Parisian Youth has organised a "mar

Three huAdred and twenty-eight
young men and women' left Paris
with a band ptgthelr bead, went to
Chatou, and started the fiances' fair
by an alfresco lunch, followed by a
ball.
Each of them had previously filled
up a form, giving details as to their
situation and prospects, and making
known their ideas regarding their life
partner-to-be. In return for these
forms each person received a num
bered badge
If, at the ball or elsewhere, a
young woman was attracted by th*
wearer of a certain number she could
find out ail about him by simply quot
ing his number.
Moet of the men wanted wives who
were "fond of boms," while the
principal stipulations made by the girls
were that their prospective husbands
should have safe Jobs snd satisfactory
Incomes.
