' --f and Carbajal have signed an t.. cement for the cessation Df hostilities In Mexico, and the estab lishment of governmental reforms. Diui has resigned the presidency which is being temporarily exercised by an official agreeable, to both par ties. The revolutionary leader has dismissed his army, and the govern ment has retired iU troops to their permanent quarters. These are the indications that point to peace in Mexico. But will there be peace? Madero has gained every impor tant concession demanded of the government. His counselors and followers, however, are not yet fully satisfied. , Throughout the republic there are 20,000 men in possession of arms and munitions of war. The dissatisfied officers of the revolu tionary army can within a few, days collect considerable bodies of armed men to inforce their demands. Can Madero dissuade them and hold them in check until he has worked out his governmental reforms? If he' can he is' a wonderful man. . ' ' " On the other hand, Madero has gained his concessions against the protests of thousands of loyalists. Among them are most of the officers of the regular r army who threaten another revolution in esse certain innovations are made. Behind them stands not only' a large portion of the army but of the wealth of the republic. The aristocracy of Mexico objects to democracy in fact. Will it enforce its objection by arms? s There is in the republic a 'third element, the foreign population, en gaged irftTeveloping its resources. It numbers 250,000 people represen ting a billion. dollars of invested capital. Jts interest lies with the. party that offers the greater securi; ty and advantage. What influence will this element have on the situa tion? It has been between the devil and the deep sea.' It proposes tq ex tricate itself from its predicament, ' Peace may come finally but will probably be a long time coming. Mexico has important and perplex ing problems to solve. Their solu tion means a revolution of govern ment and of society. A nation like Mexico connot be made over in a day. .: - ;,v Dry-Weather Fhlloteahr.

" Now, I am not sure of that. It is a question in my, mind whether a woman who allows her daughter to grow up to useless womanhood in these busy times is really deserving of respect. . As to her being' a ser vant to her child, thai surely is her own fault? nobody' forced the situa tion upon her. It certainly is of her own choosing, for she must have had the "upper hand" while the child was much too young to dominate her. A woman who is lookjns; upon by her family as a servant has surely given them cause to so regard her, and the cure of the complaint lies largely in her own hands. Many-a mother has allowed herself to be so completely absorbed in the family treadmill that she has . entirely , lost sight of her higher mission of being a companion and guide to her hus band and children.' Mother-love is not always as unselfish as we '.would have the world suppose, ' The kind of mother in question (femes herself all the comfort and ' beao ty , of life that 'she may lay herself down- as a living sacrifice at the feet her children.; She really enjoys this self effacement until some day she wakes up to the fact that her-ren take her at her own valuation, and accept! as their right,' "her drudgery;' In stead of affection and .respect,: they give her scarcely the, tolerance they would accord to a paid servant, and in the condition to which her servi tude has reduced her, their love must be strong indeed to prevent their showingthat they are ashamed to be seen with her. The blame rests with the mother, Selected. ' Law aai Discipline. The last session of the Nebraska legislature enacted a law making it a misdemeanor for , a boy. under eighteen years of age to smoke or chew tobacco. The law was enacted at the be hest of a lot of men and women who are greatly interested in the welfare of our youth,' but for the life of. us we are unable to grasp the benefits of any such law. When it come' to pass that any father or mother is un able to handle an eighteen-year-old boy,, this department is going to ad vocate the enactment of a- law pro viding for the education of the afore said fathers, and mothers. Discuss ing this law with a neighbor the other day, he removed his pipe from between his teeth, and remarked that he thought 'At a good one, for it might have" the effect of restraining his flrteen-year-old boy! from; con tracting the habit. , That made me laugh. - ; ' . If" the admonitions of father and mother will not restrain a boy from contracting the ' tobacco habits you may safely wager anything from a doughnut to a box of. crackers that law will not. Being.only a fev years from boyhood the Architect of this department inclines to . the : belief that the first effort of the law will be to encourage boys to learn the habit, more for the purpose of showing that the law can not get them than to secure pleasure from the tobacco.

A few months ago there was buri ed in an eastern city' a mad whose trade waa war. He achieved fame on the battle field, and during a long life he trained men in the art of pre paredness for killing their fellows. When he was buried the funeral pro cession was many miles, long, . flags hung at half-mast all over the coun try solemn salutes from parjp of ar tillery and volleys of musketry re sounded across the continent. , Last week there was buried in Lincoln a man whose whole life had been spent in serving others. ' He never laid up a dollar, for the simple reason that he thought more of help ing others less fortunate than him self than he did of . accumulating money.; When he saw his fellow workers in trouble he never failed to go (0 their assistance. ' No appeal to him for help, either financial or moral, ever fell upon deaf ears. Time and again he could have made big money by suppressing his convic tions or by merely refusing to assist others. ' But never a disones dol lar crossed his palms. When his mortal remains were carried to their last resting place only one carriage followed the herase, and less than a score of the thousands of working- men he had made sacrifices for were grouped about his grave. Twas ever thus. Will it always be?;- I- Measured by the world's standard Tom Kelsey's life was a failure. Measured by the standard with which final accounts are reckoned, his' life was a success, for it was a life un selfishly devoted to the service of others. Some of these days, let us hope, the world wilt pay its homage to. the men whose lives are spent in building whose lives are spent in trying to lift up, in trying to lighten the load of unfortunates;' in trying to let a little sunshine into, the dark places of1 earth, u When that time comes, homage will be paid to such men as Tom Kelsey and not to the men whose trade is bloodshed and destruction. Seclected.' . Christianity la Easiness Life. Men are asking everywhere this question: "Is it possible for a man to be engaged in the activities of our modern life, and yet to be a Christian? . Is it possible for a man to be a broker, a shop-keeper, a me chanicis it possible for a man to be in a business of to-day and love- his God and his fellowman as himself ?" I do not know what transformations these dear businesses of yours must undergo before they shall be true and ideal homes for the child of God but I do know that upon Christian merchants and Christian brokers and Christian lawyers and Christian men in business to-day there, rests an awful responsibility to prove if you canproveit that these things are capable of being made divine; Lto prove that a man can do the, work which you have been doing this morning, and will do this afternoon, and yet shall love his God and his fellow-man as himself." If he cannot, what business have you to be doing them , so poorly, carnally and un spiritnally that men look on them and shake their heads with doubt? It belongs to Christ in men, first, to prove that man may be a Christian and do business; and, in the second place, tq show bow a man, aa he be pomes a, greater Christian, shall purify and lift the business which he does and make it the worthy oc cupation of the son of God.

All patent medicines are not dangerous; some aae, and the general public does not discriminate frequently has no means of doing so. The contents of harmful remedies' have been so frequently exposed as to make the name a byword and yet these alco holic beverages continue to be sold at the drug stores as medicine and continue their absurd advertisements, It is a regretable fact that the drug stores do not help in the campaign against patent medicines. They have taken no part in the exposure of fraudulent remedies. Instead they allow immense window displays to be made advertising the concoctions; they send circulars and almanacs through the mail to their patrons, and apparently are not interested in the campaign now being so success fully waged by welfare organizations against the patent medicine evil. Dr. Horatio Wood, Jr., estimates that every year $100,000,000 are spent in the United States alone for patent medicines. The worst of these are the pain killers, containing cocaine or morphine as the soothing princi ple, and the exhilirators containing alcohol or strychnine, "to make you feel good when you take it and mis erable when you don't." From the standpoint of child welfare. Dr. Wood declares these soothing syrups to be the most diabolical of all, as they are loaded down with morphine. The Ladies Home Journal of April 1908 cites the case of a child that became peevish and cross. At eight o'clock the mother gave the child the first dose of medicine, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon the child died. The chemist found mor phine in the medicine. How many of our readers know of instances where patent medicines resulted in harm ? Mere opinions or surmises would be of little value, but well authenticated cases, through chemical analysis or coroner's or physician's testimony would be of real value in deterring others from the patent medicine evil. The Government has published a useful bulletin dealing with habit forming agents, that should be wide ly read by people everywhere.

They came across four shrubs. The old man said to the youthful companion: "Pull up the last one." . He obeyed with ease. "Now the next.', He obeyed, but it did not come so easily, , - "And the third." It took all his strength to move its roots. - "Now the fourth." In vain the lad put forth all his strength. He only made the leaves tremble; he could not move the roots. They had gone strongly into to earth, and no effort could dislodge them. Then the wise old man said to the ardent youth:- : 'V "This, my son, is just what hap pens with our passions. When they are young and weak one may, " by a little watchfulness over self and the help of a little self-denial, ' easily tear them up; but if we let them cast their roots deep into our souls, there is no human power can uproot them then the Almighty hand of the Creator alone can pluck them out. . For this reason,; my child, watch well over the first movement of your soul, and study, by ; acts of virtue, to keep your passions well in check. Oxford. Banner, .. . !

The Henderson Gold Leaf very truthfully says: One of the main troubles with some business men is that they are afraid to invest a little good money in printer's ink. He is a dull busi neas scholar indeed who considers money spent for live and aggressive advertising as thrown away or mis spent. Judicious and well directed advertising always brings returns, provided the advertiser is perfectly honest with himself and his customer and backs up his advertising by do ing exactly what he says he will do. Any advertising that is purposely in tended to fool and defraud the peo ple will invariably fall flat and re bound upon the advertisers' head. Honesty with the public and persist ency of effort furnish the keynote of all successful advertising. In other words, the advertiser must first win the confidence of the public and then try to keep it by fair and square dealing with everybody. Satisfied customers are a mighty force in backing up the business man's ad vertising. Honesty in advertising is of just as much importance to the business man as is a clean record at the bank. Never try to deceive or mislead a customer through an ad vertisement. Tell the people candid ly what inducement you have to of fer them in the way of business, and then make good with them. Once started, keep up the lick as regular as the clock, and watch your busi nsss grow. The most successful and prosperous business men everywhere are the most extensive, persistent and truthful .advertisers. When a bright young man, seeking to distin guish himself in life, enters any of the professions he does not take as his pattern some sleepy-headed fel low who has been content to remain near the bottom of the ladder, but he prefers to follow in the footsteps of the more aggressive and success ful men in that particular profession. Just so with a young man who is en tering upon a business career. If he hopes to succeed he must first pat tern after the most successful men in his line, and it is a fact that no man can successfully contradict that the most successful merchants every where have been and still are the most regular advertisers." North Carolina No Pigmy. Few of us realize what a wide- spreading domain North Carolina is. It is larger than England. It has 52,250 square miles of territory. Its length from Currituck county in the east to Cherokee county in the west is 503 miles. If a National Magazine man will put a string down on the sands of the sea at the eastern end of the former county and stretch it across the mountains to' the western end of the latter, and, hitching one end of the string to Currituck, car ry the other end due north it will land him in the middle of Lake Champlain in New York State, cross ing Virginia, Maryland, New Jer sey, Delaware and more than half of the Empire State. North Carolina is longer than from Asheyille to Chicago or from Sanford to Buffalo. Its breadth is 188 miles at the widest point. It has 100 counties, the lar gest in square miles being Robeson with about 1000, and the smallest New Hanover with less than 150. It produces a greater variety of 'pro ducts than any of the sisterhood of states. The first declaration on its soil and it has led in many things, always doing its duty alike in peace and in war. Just now the outside world is beginning to take note of the marvelous resources of North (Carolina and everything indicates a marvelous industrial growth and ex pansion here within the next' few years.
