And ai sixty clung to shoulder shawls ami loved their little naps.

Signature of
THi:N-"MY MOTHliR." By i:ik,i:ni: Williams.
My mother was of the mothers of ihe days of long ago,
She had a sweet and gentle face, and her hair was white as snow:
She wore a liule lucking comb upon her stately head,
And she would luck ihe covers in while our liule prayers were
When ihe evening meal was over and ihe mush and milk was fed
To us dirty liule urchins just before we went to bed,
Our mother would embrace us, and wiih tender, loving care
Would ask ourCod to save us in her little evening prayer.
She, loo, shared our sorrows and was happy in our joys;
Her patient, loving kindness was given to the boys;
The little girls she tended with sweet and motherly care,
And told ihem of the Christ-child and the beautiful golden stair.
You prefer your modern mother who can do the shimmy dance,
Who will play the ponies like a man, or any game of chance;
Who looks upon the wine when red and chuckles in her glee,
And imagines she is only iweniy when, in fact, she's sixty-three.
But, oh, for that old mother, whose hair was while as snow,
Who has passed the pearly gates, and with the blest I know;
Just one more lime to feel her hand upon my aching head,
And lo tell me that she loves me before 1 go to bed!
To Society and her children and to the Kingdom Come,
She played a nobler part than many mothers do at sixty-one.
You may lake your bright-eyed mother who shares in all your joys,
Who fox-trots with the modern girls and "shimmies" with the boys,
Bui leave to me the memory of the mother of long ago,
With lucking comb and lace caps on a head as white as snow.

"You are her she, I mean!"

An insurance man tells this one;
"Not long ago there rushed into
one of our offices in the South a
very excited woman; so excited,
in fact, thai she was out of breath
and could speak only with diffi
culty. "What's the trouble?" asked
one of the clerks.
"I want a policy at once at

A teacher was telling her class
liule stories in naiural history, and
she asked if any one could tell her

"Well, Tommy, you may tell us
what a ground-hog is."

"Well I don't know," replied

"Go on: I'm learning."
