Father Now Has His Day

FATHER. Upon his shoulders weigh the sters demands Of men and nations; but erect he stands. Firm and unfaltering. A sovereign he, and to no royal handi Doth servile tribute bring. You see him how, on threshold passing o’er, While ail his pride's apparel falls before Young eyes, that greet “Father” at the door Where love Is king. A great many years ago father appeared in only one song: , “Father, Dear Father, Come Home with Me Now," a song that represented the head of the family hanging over a bar drinking himself to death, and little children sang It at temperance meetings to arouse the world to the evil of drink, and to show what it does to father. .

A half century later, and only a few years ago, some song writer who knew how to appeal to public sentiment to enrich his purse composed “Everybody Works but Father,” and when father went home tired at night his children, urged on by their mother, pounded on the piano he had bought, in the parlor he had furnished, in the home he had built for his family, a song that was so slanderous it was enough to make him behave in a fashion to revive the first song: written in hi’s honor “Father, Dear Father, etc.” These were the sum total of the songß that mentioned Father, and as for poetry, it fairly ran over at the top with sentiments about Mother and the Children, but never a word .for Father. ... But Father is long-suffering and patient, and he struggled along without poems in his honor without moan, and was libelled in song without protest If he got his three meals a day. and his change of underwear was laid out for him he was content if the tyres and harps were tuned for Mother. The injustice extended along othei lines, but Father was too accustomed to the cold potatoes of life to rebel, and a woman has rebelled for him. He hasn’t a Day! Of course, sometimes he had a night, but that has nothing to do with this story. . What Father lacked to make his life one grand sweet song was a Day. Had you thought that Father hadn't a Day? Yet, undoubtedly, you once had a father, or perhaps are one yourself. ‘ He hadn’t a Day, and it remained for a woman to lift him out of an unsung, un-rhymed, Day-less existence, and give him one. It’s a Year Old, at That. And that woman is Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, Washington. Take off your hats to her! Half a century ago some one set aside the second Sunday in June as Children’s Day, and on that day the little children are taken to church and special services are held to make them forget the seats are hard and the breezes are shaking the blossoms outside.

Five years ago Miss Anna Jarvis, ol Philadelphia, punched an unsentimental world awake, and inaugurated Mothers’ Day, the second Sunday iD May, when Mother goes to church to hear sermons and songs telling how good she is, and every one wears white carnations in her honor, and in homes where she is properly honored father gets the dinner. But there was no Father’s Day, and Mrs .John Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, saw the injustice and hastened to put a red ring around the third Sunday in June. Hereafter that is to be Fathers’ Day and thiß year will behold its second celebration. _ The emblem for Father’s Day is not a sprig of old man; neither is it boy’s love, father being more than a tooju and, of course, it couldn’t be bachelor’s button, so Mrs. Dodd made it a rose, and that is the flower you must wear the third Sunday in June for father. If he is living, wear a colored rose, and if he has been gathered to his fathers, wear a white one. What color is appropriate in the event that he has been divorced from your mother? Mrs. Dodd doesn’t say. Those delicate little family affairs require special colors, badges and rules, and will be attended to after Father’s Day becomes an established institution. Mrs. Dodd will also have to decide if Father’s Day is a feast or a fast. Does he come on the calendar as a penance or a joyful occasion? It is planned by the originator ol Father's Day that on the third Sunday in June Father be helped into his holiday clothes and escorted to church, where the preacher will devote a sermon to him and the choir will give the tenor and basso a turn in his honor. Every woman present will wear a rose, and after church Father will be escorted home and a dinner will be served that he neither had to plan or cook, only to pay for. That is the program if Father is living. If he is dead the women will go to the cemetery and decorate his grave, and fathers who were good will be wept for and so will the fathers who were not, so filled with sentiment is the heart of woman. In the afternoon Father will sit on a pedestal with his halo on and a special attention will toe paid to him — special attention being to refrain from calling attention to the need of new hats and new furniture, and to let-hlm forget plumbers’ and dressmakers bills.

The program may not please Father, but the hero who is sung has nothing to do with the making ot the song, and if Father would rather have a day without sermon or rose that only indicates his lack of Higher Feeling, and the greater the need of woman’s management is to.be a woman's way of doing homage, Nmd if it contains sermon instead of fishing rod. Father most sit on his perch, instead of trying to catch them, and be grateful Odes Instead of Hash. If he rebels at the program and refuses to go to church, sentlmet will sanction any woman who binds him and drees him tw* hIW «uui M

upiirted and exalted. It ia not enough that he be told 344 days in the year by his women folks that he is the greatest man in the world; he must get the news once a year from his preachsr. He may tire of his pedestal and wish to mingle with common folks, but thlgis not to be Father’s day off; it is to be his 'day on. It will be difficult to find a day's length supply of poetry to read in his honor, but the poets are gradually making up the deficiency. When Father’s Day was first suggested by Mrs Dodd a search failed to reveal one poem praising Father. Now, after a whple year, there are two! Father Is doing better.

Game and Set; Or, The Man Who Lost

Though she was a typical athletic girl, she appeared to distinct advantage in a kimono. With his nose red from the sun and love shining from either eye. he strove delicately to tell of his passion as he opposed her at tennis. She was not in a*kimono. “Ah,” ebo elghed. “Think of a bachelor's lonely misery, solitary at ,the breakfast table —” “Serve!” She commanded. “Twice you have refused me and that is-—” “Doubles!” said the maiden, briskly.

“Have you no pity as you think of me 20 years from now—- “ Forty love!” called she, triumphantly, and smote the hall so that It struck him even on the burnished tip of his blistered noee, making him to see many stars in a comparatively limited area. (For the benefit of readers with no knowledge of the noble game of tennis the terms used in this story will he explained in the issue appearing three weeks from today or later.)

APPROPRIATE.

The steamer landed at the dock and the passengers began to disemitark. Whereupon thq orchestra on the boat struck up Mendetesohn’s "Wteddine March.” “Wilfred,” said the pretty young thing in white, blushing furiously and turning to the young man at her side, "you’ve told somebody.”

DON’T WAIT.

Take Advantage of a Rensselaer Citizen’s Experience Before It’s Too Late. - When the back begins to ache, Don’t wait until backache becomes chronic; Till serious kidney troubles develop; Till urinary troubles destroy *ht’3 rest Profit by a Rensselaer citizen’s experience. Charles Malchow, Harvey Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from the trouble. The small of my back was the part most affected, but often the. pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity In passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills, and getting a supply at Fendig’s Drug Store, began their use. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed- My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were disposed of. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get prompt and lasting relief. This remedy lives up to all claims for it.” For sale by all dealers.

Poor Joe! Lost Auto Here And Spark Plug in Wheatfield.

Kankakee Valley Review. Joe Davisson, the genial agent for the Frisco system at Kniman, is having all kinds of peculiar troubles with his new Maxwell runabout. Joe reported that while on business at the county seat last week ’he actually lost the car. All he had left for sometime was the spark plug. Last Saturday he came to Wheatfield and lost the spark plug. After trying to get the machine star:ed. cranking her until big beads of juice stood prominently on his noble forehead, Joe discovered in the presence of Bill Meyers and other sympathetic friends that the durn critter would not budge an inch without the pesky spark plug. Then Joe felt in his right hand pantaloon pocket, where he was positive he put the plug when he stopped the car on arriving in town. After he had retraced the many steps he had taken about town, with his eagle eye on the ground, looking for the lost plug, he gave up in despair. Then John Pinter loaned Joe an' extra plug he had laying on the tobacco shelf, which seemed to look like the one Joe had lost. Then Joe started the machine and went away back to the biggest town in Walker township, remarking when he left that it was a long. that didn’t have a turn, and hoped to meet us all at the Kankakee Fair.

Sad Case of Misplaced Love Comes to Light at Valparaiso.

-The Valparaiso Messenger relates a sad story of a young mother with a 5-months-old baby who is struggling to support herself and child by her labors. The Messenger has procured the story of" the girl-mother’s life. She refuses to tell her maiden name or where her parents reside. The paper states that she is a woman of culture and has evidently been accustomed to a good home. She resided in a small town some place and a traveling man made love to her and she listened to his sweet nothings and fell tL victim to bis falsehoods. Then she was taken away and kept for a time in another town and finally to Valparaiso, rfhe traveling man married her shortly before she became a mother. He remained with her but two days after the babe was born and then lpft. Three weeks later he was at Valparaiso for a day. Since then his wife has not heard from. him. Although she almost died following the birth of her child, she firmly refused to divulge the names or the residence of her parents, saying she preferred" to die rather than face the disgrace she had been brought to before her parents or at her old home. The Messenger . concludes the sad story by saying, “Now she is fighting life’s battles alone, while the old vagabond is basking in the pleasures of greener fields.” It is an old story of fleeting happiness, of simple trustfulness, of late discovered pride. The old rooster that was responsible for her condition was about 45 years of *age and he had doubtless been guilty before of similar conquests of virtue by reason of good looks, a smooth tongue and a blinded conscience.- But there is some one else responsible to a great the fall. It is her mothej and her father. Girls are granted too much freedom and are not given the training they should have in the home. There % would be less enduring misery if girls were told by their mothers of the pitfalls of life, and pa should get himself a gaff and watch his daughter just as Closely when She is 18 or 20 as he should when she is 8 or 10, while during the intervening years she needs the guidance of a loving mother all the time.

Rev. D. A. Tucker Writes Letter From Alexander, N. Dak,

Alexander, N. Dak. Editor Republican: I will comply with the request that has been made that I should communicate with my friends through Rensselaer Republican. I will do so nqw, as the drought has been broken, which has been the~worst ever experienced here siiice this part of North Dakota, west of the Missouri river, was settled by homesteader®. It has been greatly aggravated by the fact that the present drought follows on the heels of the unusual protracted spell of dry weather last year. In many localities the soil was so dry the past spring that the seed sown, especially the late flax, did not germinate and grow until the present rains that began to fall the last of July. There are thousands of acteS: of hax that is Jpst now coming up. I have 45 acres of flax just now up, of course"too late to mature, unless frost should stay away like it does occasionally in old Indiana. In this immediate locality there was moisture enough to cause the wheat, oats and barley to grow, and gave promise of an abundant yield. Harvest hopes have been blasted by week after week, of Withering, blistering burning heat, with no refreshing rain or cool interval to stay the disaster. Notwithstanding all this, in all of this country where men have adopted the dry farming plan are going to reap some grain. I will get from five to eight bushels pt' wheat per acre The flax that was upwn before the hot winds and intense drought set in that had moisture to germinate wii' make a fair crop. Corn will be quite

good and the potatoes that looked 4U* though past redemption have been revived and we will have a yield. We will admit that there are many unfortunate homesteaders in the drought stricken belt, with reserve depleted last year as a result of the drought, will have to have aid where they, are or take ads vantage of the Warren bill just passed by the senate allowing homesteaders in the drought stricken districts to leave their lands until April 15, 1912, without the loss of any of their rights. Not many here will leave because of the drought. We expect to leave our possession here this fall. Not because of the drought, however. We proved up April 15th, last, expecting to'take a pastorate. If we do not, we expect to rent our place, which is a£good one, and go back east, for the winter, at least Our health has beer, exceptionally good until recently. • \Ve are deeply interested in the coming of the factory and the new depot and the improvement of the M. E. church. And we are adjusting our glasses ap we can see the interarban railroad. . f \ Regards to all our friends. REV. D. A. TUCKER and FAMILY.

ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCALS.

Mr. Charles March, of Winamac, and now a resident of Lucerne, Wyo., arrived here today for a short visit with Miss HaXel Jacks. Better shoes for' less money—our motto. We do not fear contradiction, as we have the goods. Come in and let us prove it VanArsdel’s. Emery Comer returned to his home in Owen county, Indiana, today, after visiting since last Friday with his son, G. H. Comer, north of Rensselaer.

Mrs. J. P. Engstrom, field secretary of the Board of Home and Foreign Missions, will deliver a lecture on the evening of Sept. sth at the Presbyterian church at 7:30 o’clock. A cordial invitation is given to all the other churches and missionary societies to be present at this meeting. The lecture is free, but a collection will be taken for the benefit of the “Jubilee Fund."

E. J. Smith and family, of Pafragould, Ark., passed through our city in their Stoddard-v Dayton machine on a tour of the middle states, boosting Paragould and northeast Arkansas. Mr. Smith says that during the past few years they have dug and completed over a dozen large dredge ditches in his county (Greene) and that his county is now dry and well drained, that immigration is cpruing in fast and land values increasing rapidly, that they have the best crops this year they have ever had.

Ray Burns arrived home recently from Williard, Mont., where he has aclaim of 320 acres, which he took two years ago. He is getting it fixed up in the matter of fences, etc., and now has a number of neighbors, whereas two years ago he was almost by himself. His nearest railroad station is Baker, on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, but he gets his mail every day, the mail being carried overland by relay. He has .procured a six months’ furlough and will spend it with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Burns, northwest of town. He thinks that by the time h& gets the place proved up he will have no difficulty in selling it for $6,000. \ It looks like the mausoleum promoters have decided to pass Rensselaer up for the present. Mr. Austih addressed the council Monday night, speaking in a very pleasing manner and charging that the newspaper had been in error in quoting construction cost of the plant as they proposed to build. His own figures, however, were not very much at variance with those used in this paper. He stated that 76 mausoleum's had already been built lu the United States and that if Rensselaer dfd- not want to get behind the times, now was the proper occasion to build a mausoleum. The talk did not seem to influence the city council and no action was taken. The proposition to build outside the cemetery was probably a bluff to try to get the cemetery trustees to provide a building place within the cemetery, if outside cities that are building mausoleums are going in on the basis proposed here it looks like they are paying about 35 per cent too much. There is no occasion for haste about a mausoleum. They are to a great extent experimental and when they are perfected the cemetery trustees can build one and save a lot of moltoy to the purchasers of tombs, and give the N guarantee of permanent care for the building.
