PI Op for 1 Alii. I Mf iDAY
THK MOTHER.
Dear Lord, there is so much to do in
one brief busy day;
The little clothes to wash and iron and
mend and put away;
The little toys to gather up, the little
beds to make
And little griefs to soothe away from
little heartH that ache.
The little bodies to be kept, for Thy
sake, clean and sweet.
As U moles for the dwelling of tho
Chrlstly spirit meet.
And Mary Mother one time knew the
blessedness of this;
The little feet to wash at night, the
lips to kiss.
Forgive me. Lord, if that I seem ne
glectful of Thy work.
It is not that ray heart Is hard, it is
not that I fchlrk.
But that my heart and hands are full
with these, my little ones.
My little daughter, fair and sweet, my
sturdy little sons.
Once I rejoiced In serving Thee and
and only Thee alway;
And now sometimes I am so tired, I
cannot even pray.
But I draw nigh at night to Him whose
mother knew the bliss
Of tender little feet to wash, and lit
tle lips to kiss. Esther Mary Clark, in special edi
tion Hutchinson (Kan.) Gazette, edited by women.
the money is required of the husbr.nd. Custom is a severe task master. Style is a curse; and the attempt to appear to be what one is not costs happiness and ease.
But as far as that is concerned drummers are beginning to get their next summer's straw hat samples together bo it might be as well as get ready for both.
II A RLE M man 102 years of age refused to go to the hospital for an operation for appendicitis. This is a good practice for 102 years old.
VALUE of crops for 19 12 is nine billion dollars. We suppose you voted for a president today who could better things just the sam?.
Heaven bless the good parson! The
fine health responsible for a vigorous old age is no doubt largely attributable to exercise, and surety his discourses were never the worse for the clear brain and sound lungs, to say
nothing of muscle and general fitness, that come from "conditioning."
Even the sordid boxer, with his
still cheaper and more despicable
manager, has failed to spoil the pleasure of a session with the gloves between friendly or honest rivals or the public interest. In what might and should be a high, class sport By the way, wonder if the militant Welsh rector advocates a referee being in or outside the "squared circle?"
EXTENDED TO ALL STATES. The new rule just issued by the secretary of the treasury which will absolutely abolish the public drinking cup from all trains and stations of railroads engaged in Interstate commerce is the most advanced step taken for the preservation of public health for many a long day. Several states have passed laws to this effect but now at one fell swoop the rule is extended to all the states in the union so far as interstate traffic Is concern ed. It will be only a short time until the few public drinking cups left wPl be put out of business by state laws.
In the meantime there are some notorious offenders against this whole
some rule right here at home, for in
stance the drinking cups at the fountains in Harrison park. They
ought to be put out of business immediately and sanitary drinking fountains substituted. We don't have to wait for a state law to abolish our own disease spreaders.
IF you have ever heard the Turkish Patrol on a phonograph you know
how fast they are going at Adrain-ople.
A GOOD beginning doesn't oftea lead to a good ending at least not vben you fall down stairs.
THE campaign cigar hs called forth mighty little good campaign poetry this year.

ISN'T it dandy not to have to read in the newspapers how you ought to vote.
PATERSON, N. J. laims the champion bad youth who has been arrested fifty times. Take the medal. We have nothing like that. Pete Bennett of Griffith is as near as we can get to it.

HOW TO DRESS. Lord Chesterfield is a much abuoed man. He is represented as the patron saint of the dudes and the mortal deity of all the nancies, sisters and corset-wearing males. Every fastidious youth who consults the Ladies' Home Journal for the fashions in men's garments and talks in a soprano key, lays the blame upon Lord Chesterfield and imagines that his Lordship wore Dolly Varden underwear and carried a powder-puff. As a matter of fact, Milord was a clear-minded, sensible, practical man, so far as his ideas on clothing were concerned, who gave common-sense advice to his son on matters of dress, which did not appear in a fashion magazine, and which he never dreamed would be published. "Any affectation In dress," he
wrote, "Implies a flaw in the under
standing. A man of sense is clean
for his own sake. He dresses as well, and in the same manner, as the people of sense around him. If h dresses better, he is a fop; if he dresses worse, he is unpardonably
negligent." The dirty slouch makes a worse miKtake in the matter of dress than the dude; for the dude is at least lean, and offends the sight only. Clothes help to create certain impressions. To convey the impression that you ;trp a man, dress like one. To lead your friends to the concldt ion that you are decent, clothe and c;ire for yourself in the style customary among decent people. If you can avoid it, never attract attention to your clothes.
THEY TURNED HIM DOWN.
LaPorte deserves some passing
praise. It has turned down a religi
ous revivalist who wanted to convert
the city.
IjaPorte showed good sense. There
are enough of these cheap, loud
mouthed preachers who strut aroun i the country taking in thousands of dollars from a lot of fool sentimentalists. The revivalist with whm LaPorte had some past experience one Oliver cured the town of its love for religious strutters. Oliver is to religion what a quack horse-doctor is to the medical profession.
GEE it is great to be a presidential candidate. Gov. Wilson bumped his bean on his auto, received a scalp wound and a column in every paper in the country.
OP course tomorrow morning there will be a whole lot of people ready to admit that outside of certain things Taft. Roosevelt and Wilson are all right.
WELL how's the Armageddon tonight?

"WHAT Shall the Harvest P-e?'
A FIGHTING PARSON. The Rev. John Gower, the eighty-tv.o-year-old rector of Trefriw (Wales) Church, in a late sermon defended the manly art of self-defence, saying every boy should be taught to box and wrestle, and incidentally mentioned that he was personally In uod condition for a "go" right then.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOLLY. Custom, style, show, pretense, and
mental cosmetics of every kind are species of fraud; and In almost every
line of endeavor the overwork of men and women and the failure of their enterprises is due to the sham that must be supported. How ntnetenths of the world works to provide funds for the other tenth is too familiar a story to require comment and the squandering is not upon necessities but upon profitless and health destroying things that bring misery to the other tenth themselves. In education, it is what is learned for show and not for the use that discourages children and makes life
study a bugbear for adults.
In music, art and religion it is the profitless that costs money and reduces appreciation. A grand opera sung in a foreign language is absurd except to those who understand that language, and a hundred thousand
dollar church building makes a thirty
cent preacher a necessity. Corsets that abuse the stomach, bowels and liver bring either physical misery or extermination to a future generation and make the bearing of children worse than death. And a family of moderate means that could live foolishly happy in a five room cottage
desperately seek misery in an expensive home where twice the labor Is exacted of tne wife and four times
MEN BETTER THAN MUMMIES. The world fears the schoolmaster when he goes abroad. He takes the platform with him and lectures. He still carries the whip of Dr. Faustus, of Mother Goose fame, and tries to lash his scholars with It. He Is all for reforming according to his idea and that, plainly put, is getting as much into the head as it will carry, irrespective of Its usefulness. But when the schoolmaster does unbend and confesses, then he is a welcome talker. What he says adds to the pleasure of the world and its profit, especially when he la as big a
man as President Butler, of Columbia University, and as frank and honest
Dr. Butler was the principal speaker, a few days ago, when the magnificent State Education Building was dedicated at. Albany, New York. At
such a time, it might be supposed that
he would expend his eloquence in
lauding education; in the glorlflcation of the scholar above all the rest
of mankind.
But he didn't. He sailed on an entirely different tack and made harbor on it, too. He proclaimed with all
his wisdom and brilliancy the pre
eminence of men over educated mummies. "With men," he said, "the world might get on without schools
and colleges and universities. These institutions do not create education, though they sometimes make it difficult." Hteven went so far in his laudable educational anarchy as to say: When one reflects upon the ravages which have been committed in the name of education, there la some excuse for wonderina: whether it would not he advantageous to ;itritute for compulsory iliteracj'. The remedy for this is personality,
according to Dr. Butler; personality in the teachers, so strong and vibrant and magnetic that it will seek out the individuality in the student and develop it. Just as water goes no higher than its main source and wireless messages only reach the instruments in tune with them, so it will take men to make men. If colleges and schools are to be useful they must educate in this way; turn out men and women who know themselves and their own powers and can use them to
further personal upbuilding and to
the making of a better state.

T1IET now say this bull moosltis is caused by germs. Expected that eminent scientists will by tonight discover a perfect antl-toxln for it. Those eminent germollsts, Dr. Taft and Dr. Wilson, will turn the trick. AMONG those who are not weepinfr because all of these Greek reservists are golnr back to the Balkans are the darky bootblacks of this town. ITS a downright shame when you go Into a restaurant and order a slice
of the festive pumpkin pie only to discover that it is made of shredded sweet potatoes. HOLY Mackinaw! As yet the cables haven't said anything about theseBalkan beauties donning trousers and fighting at their lovers' sides. PERILS of cave life in Tippecanoe county these days: John F.

headquarters will be looking; around for
a chance to earn an honest living.
AS far as we can see the campaign managers for the presidential candi
dates are the biggest optimists on the
face of the earth. THE only blue thing that we note fn sight for tomorrow is that a lot of these pests of th.; "I told you so" variety will be flitting about. SOUTHERN exchange takes note of T. R.'s statement that the steel trust Is not behind him and it adds that it Is because it never let T. R. get ahead of It.

OH, no! Not all of our amusements
are gone. Within a short while we will have the edifying spectacle of the "steemed Gary Tribune trying to flop back Into the republican party. GOVERNMENT has ordered all common drinking cups banished from railroads. Just as likely as not some one will attribute this move to the brewery lobby at Washington. IN passing we may mention that the funeral of that cripple Gary newsboy got on the front pages while the ohsequies of a vice president were relegated to pages in the second section. WINTER social activities have start
