THE MOTHERS TREKLook how this Iov6thts mother runs

through allThis world God madeeven the beast

the bird TennysonOne woman journeyed on foot 1000

miles drawing a little express wag uI

that she night keep her children to-

getherMrs Ella M Arthur performed this

feat She thus traveled all the wayfrom Texas to Ames Ia

Six years ago the husband deserted-her and three small children Her en ¬

tire capital was a cowu pig and twosmall hands

Mrs Arthur chanced to come across-a flamboyant circular telling of a newtown on the gulf coast The land flow ¬

ed with milk and honeyand oppor-tunity

¬

so it said Selling cow and pigshe bought a ticket to the Texas town-then came disillusion The town wasUlusHy on paper

But the woman was grittyShe found a temporary home for the

older children in the Texas countryShe bought a little wagon and had left30 cents to get to South Dakota whereshe had relatives

Onward across the plains of Texasand Indian Territory wearily trudged-the little mother pulling the childKind hearted Texas farmers helpedher Sometimes she stopped to workfor a few days In this way she gotto Ames Ia where a ticket was givenher to South Dakota-

At the latter town the husband turn-ed

¬

up He would agree to a divorceand alimony of 2000 If the motherwould give up the baby Pennilesstired discouraged after many tearsMrs Arthur consented

Then having got the money she re¬

pented the arrangement And now sheis looking for the baby placed by thefather in some orphan asylum Andthe poor mother declares she willspend every cent to get her child back

This is no fancy story-It is a true heroic only one of myri-

ads¬

in the annals of motherhoodMrs Arthur cannot rest until she

Xgcts her baby and brings all her little> jLJood together again

j THAT IS THE M OTHER OP ITThe picture of the little womans

weary trek of a thousand miles needs-no setting It is a picture of the lovethat does mIraclesthe love of a moth-er

¬

for her own-Somebodywho was it somebody

once said that God made mothers be¬

cause he couldnt be around himselfall the time

JUST JIMMIES WIFEA newspaper sketch shows two chil ¬

dren a girl and a boy They are be ¬

ing interviewed by a woman This ispart of the conversation

And what do you expect to makeof yourself Maud when you growup

Maud Just Jimmies wife maamWhich was acute rejoinderand-

moreMaud may chance her mind when

she grows up Our childish idealschange sometime Certainly whenshe is grown up she will be less frankto say she is solas to be Jimmieswife whatever she may feel about it

But the wisdom childhood causedMaud to choose the better part Be-

cause¬

i

If Jimmie proves to be the right sorttend It he is to do his best he mustb ire a good wife What Jirnraie Is to

hnd be will depend largely on Jim ¬

mies wife He will need a Maud tomake a man of him And in makinga man of Jimmie Maud will have herhands and heart quite full

Mighty important just Jimmieswife

Of course It Is hard to predict WhenMaud grows up she may have specialtalents for something else or Jimmiemay not suit her or she him Butother things being equal each willknow when the time comes

And Maud can aspire to no higherposition than being wife

If she holds to her girlish choice andthey choose each other no greatercrown of happiness can come to herWoman was made for wifehood andwomanhood and she finds her highestsatisfactions in fulfilling her destinyThe abundance of her being demandshusband and children upon whom shemay lavish her love

She who misses this misses abun-dant

I

J life t

And If Maud marries Jimmie besideslung the measure of her own normal

AJi sire she will have a great chance todo for Jimmie

The gentle influence subtle butstrong of woman working by andthrough the man she loves is the pow-erI that moves the world More thanthat it is the power that SAVES theworld

For mind sou

I

Always and everywhere when youQrd a good man or a great man al-

ways you will find A GOOD WOMANDEHIND TilE MAN

Blessings on the Mauds who findheir content rnd joy In being JusilmmIes wife

The children of the school near byare let loose They stream down thestreet The pup leaves off leaping ingreat curves after the ball and leaps-up to the children He would licktheir faces in high friendship One ofthe midgets Is frightened and then thecry goes up

HOW TO BE THOUGH MARRIEDProfessor F H Blackmore of the

University of Kansas proposes the in ¬

troduction Into the schools of a coursepreparatory to matrimony

Whereat a guffaw goes upBut is it really to laughSurely there is great need of educa ¬

tion concerning marriageSurely there is too much Ignorance

about the nature the dignity and therequirements of matrimony

Surely a better understanding of itsmeaning would prevent much marital I

misery and many divorcesThat is to sayA boy and a girl fall in love with

each other They have been told thatlove will resolve all things into fac¬

tors of married happiness Therefore-the happygolucky plunge

ButDoes the average boy and girl know

what love really is Much that passesunder the name is the mere froth ofsentimentality that will quickly passaway or it may be mere animal pas ¬

sionnot love but lustCould not young persons be delicate-

ly¬

and simply taught the differenceThey could be shown that love is de ¬

votion that it spells self sacrifice that-it is kind and long suffering that itthinks no evil that It knows naughtthat is unseemly that it hopes allthings endures all things that it up¬

braids not that it abides foreverAfter such an understanding of real

affection they could be taught thatMarriage means equalityThat it requires understanding and

sympathy which are more than equal ¬

ityThatit presupposes the ability and

patience to live with another personsuccessfully

That selfishness must be put awayand that unfaithfulness is treason

I If ethics and philosophy can betaught in the schools why cannot It betaught how to be happy though mar¬

ried which involves the practical-side of both ethics and philosophy-

It is true not every teacher couldteach or lecture in such a courseStrong common sense experience analtruistic spiritthese would be nec ¬

essaryBut what an opportunity for such a

teacherHow tor instance It could pe en¬

f

larged upon that successful marriagerequires the exercise of the highestqualities of manhood and womanhoodhow Its discipline of spirit is designed-to bring out the highest and noblest inman and woman

If the schools can help society inthis one of its greatest needs why nottry them

Something must be done

WHAT MONEY WILL BUY

A certain man reputed to be fromChicago went down Broadway NewYork city a few days ago distributing-five and ten dollar bills to the people

The man was arrested and adjudgedInsane It was taken for granted thatany man who would voluntarily give-away what everybody was trying tohave and hold must necessarily be I

crazy HoweverThe man might have been merely

drunk-Or his conscience may have troubled

him because of the way In which hegot the money

Or he may have been prompted byphilanthropic feelings-

OrBut to dismiss motives is the mere

fact that a man gives away goodmoney on the street evidence that he laInsane-

If so why do we say that men whoare Immersed in money getting whodo nothing and think nothing but mon ¬

eywhy do we say that these menare money mad Is It not true that I

when a man gets the insane notionInto his head that money is the only I

thing worth while In this world he Ismentally unbalanced

I

Then why conclude that only theman who gives money away Is mad

Will money buy the best thingslove joy peace-

Certainly not They are not fqr saleon any counter They are the fruits ofa mans spirit They spring up in hissoul and ripen there

Will money buy the affection offriends the common joys of the sim ¬

ple life a conscience void of offensethe rewards of patience or good willthese blessings of a well ordered lifecan money buy these at barter andsale

Then why put so much value onmoney I

Money can buy many things neces ¬

sities comforts luxuries ease powerAnd so men go over seas and conti¬

nents and die for the sake of moneyThey will even sell their souls to getrn oney and then bask themselves Inthe sunshine of their self made pros ¬

perity hoping for happiness-Are they not as insane as the man

who was reckless with his billsBecause all they can buy with money-

are OUTSIDE THINGS while the truesatisfactions of life spring fromWITHIN If man were only dust thegolden dust of earth might satisfyBut he Is more than dust so that be ¬

yond his world of sense deeper than i

all surface comforts are his real satis ¬

factionsJohn L Sullivan and he spoke from

personal experienceput this truthtersely the other day when he said

MONEY WILL BUY EVERY-THING

¬

BUT HAPPINESSThink it overIs It not possible the crazy man

was about the only sane person onBroadway

KILLEDAN AMERICAN MOTHERThis Is the true story of John

Sweeney of John Sweeneys motherand of the naval department-

John Sweeney deserted from thenavy and the department KILLEDJOHN SWEENEYS MOTHER

What It Is time Not Intentionallybut they killed her just the same

John Sweeney was the son of MrsMary Sweeney of New York Abouttwo years ago John disappeared fromhome and enlisted In the navy

Some time ago his mother learnedher boy was quite ill in the naval hos ¬

pital at San FranciscoThe mother also learned she could

buy her sons release for a certainsum of money At great sacrifice sheraised the money sent it to her sonand awaited his homecoming-

And then one morning the mail car ¬

rier brought her a letter She looked-at it and fainted It was her own let¬

ter returned and across its face wasstamped in large letters

DESERTERFrom that moment she faded and In

a few days she died the doctors saidof a BROKEN HEART

And that was murderHad Mrs Sweeney lived in Russia

where bureaucratic government ridescruelly over human hearts one mightexpect the red tape rules of barbarity-

But in the United Statesr It Is all right to punish desertersfrom the navy That is necessary fordiscipline But It Is not all right tobreak the hearts of mothers by cruelcustoms It is not all right to punishthe innocent for the guilty

This branding of letters is a part ofI the eighteenth century procedure that

used to tie sailors to the mast and lashtheir bare backs with the catoninetails for some trivial Infracture of therules

To deliberately select innocent rela-tives

¬

and brand their correspondenceI lajto co back to the days of The Scar ¬

let TetterThe sufferings of the poor mothers

of deserters are sufficiently acute vica-rious

¬

victims of wayward sonswith-out

¬

this pitiful branding of their moth ¬

erly missivesThe thing is a relic of the dark agesWe hear much about the Inefficiency

of our naval bureaus Certainly a re ¬

form Is needed as to their needlesscruelty-

It Is no less a crime to kill a lovingmother because it is done by bureau ¬

cratic brutality-The heartless custom of printing De¬

serter on the envelopes of friendsshould be stopped

Wild Life In the BalkansBesides some warlike men Macedo-

ants with horses was not long agowholly destroyed by wolves in the MoriHovo mountains nothing but the bitsand stirrup irons being found-
