Tuesday morning a number of the citizens of San Jon got

werescattered over

them oft tofill in a canyon on the proposed

are going to have a clean town, both morally and physically,and
the citizensa;e requested
tokeep

in which to placetheir
empty bot-tlesand

thedrayman
will call and haul
it
out of town for a smallsum, that

informed usthat
if the citizens ofthe.

We think
that

that
the people pay himat

'qf liim or her, or whoever it was, who
instituted "Mothers' Day." It
is a celebration in which wecan alltake
a personal
interest.
It
might
be possible for some of those who have come to us from foreign coun-tries to takelittle interest
inour na tionalcelebrations,
such asInde
pendenceDay and Washington's
Birthday.
We
have evenheard
of
the
manwithout
acountry, but
we never
h3e
heard of a man with outa mother.
Anyone is wiltingto
stop
inthe hurry
andbuttle
ofmodern lile to pay a
tribute
to Lis mother, and in doing so hepays
atribute
to motherhood ingeneral.
Apeoples
placein the
scale of civilization may be determinedby
theestimate
whichthey
place on womanhood. One ofthe
wise men ol the Biblesaid;
"
Aworthy
womanwho can
find; het
price is farabove
rubies.
Her
childrenrise
upand
callher blessed."
Asthe
Bibleand
Christianity
have been advanced in influence woman has beenelevated
to
her proper
place in society.It
is nottoo
much to saythat
motherhood is
the
crownof woman hood. NapoleonBonaparte wasj
by no means an ideal man from
the
.standpoint
of moralsand etmcs,
but be possessed a clear, intellect-ualdiscernment,
and theinstincts
of a
statesman.
One ofhissayings
has becomelarailiar
in everyland:
"
The
handthat
rocksthe cradle
rules theworld."
Another
ofhis
statements
revealshis
political
sagacity
and
practical
"5eus,e:"What
France
need.'above every
thing
else is ageneration
of gooda.others.
The
man who has achieved trreat-ncs-s,and has
left theimpression
of hisbfe
uponhis
generation, has confessed hisindebtedness to a
mother's inlluence.
This
istrne,
almost withoutexception,
ofevery
ageand country.
If
therarest
crown werebrought
us to beplaced
uponthe
brow of deser vng womanhood.whcre shouldwebestow

My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with anitching rash. Three
doc-tors prescribed for him, but be kept
gettingworse untilwe could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college,
but Its treatment did no good. At
the time I was Induced to try Cuu-cur- a
he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put theCuticura
Oint-ment on him on bandages, as
it
was impossible to touch him with the barehand. Therewas notone squareInch of skin on his whole body
that
wasnot affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to hisskin and Inremoving them It used
to take the skin off with them, and the screamsfrom the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that hewould never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint
ment Ibegan to see signsof Improve
ment, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but It finally yielded to tbe
treatment
Now I cansaythat
heisentirely cured, and
a
stronger andhealthier boy you never saw than he
is to-da- twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

9, 1909."Marriage.
A game of chance in which the chances are about even. Tbe man
leads
st
first, but after leaving thct--altar
he usually follows breathlesslyin hiswife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If a masked player holds you up some night
at
tbe end of a long gun, it is called "robbery" andentitles you to telephone the police;
but if your wife holds you up for a
much larger amount tbe next
morn-ing at the end of a long hug, it is
termed "diplomacy" and counts Inher
favor. In this, as in other games of life, wives are usually allowed more
privileges than other outlaws. Judge. Looking Ahead.
Josephine, aged ten, has a decided lisp. She also is veryfond of attend' ing tbe matinee. The other day she was giving a spirited storyofthe play to Marlon, who was aged nine.
"My mamma says It isn't good for
little girls to go to the theater," said Marion with an air of selfrighteous
ness, "I'm; not ever going till I'm 18." "Humph," retorted Josephine with

ad-mirable opportunity forbecoming

acquainted. The sweet peas werefollowed by other floral offerings.
Marean's calls at the shop became longer and more frequent He and
Viola became fast friends.
One Sunday they passed a long de lightful afternoon In tbe park after
they hadattended church together and lunched at a restaurant, in a delight
fully unconventional and friendly
manner. That day Marean decided to propose toViolathe next timehe saw her if be could make an opportunity.

"Where Is Miss Heath?" he asked. "She's gone home went this morn ing on an early train. Mary counted
out his change carefully. "You my husband la better; he can come

I've got business down that way and I thought I might look ber up,"
Marean lied
"Viola Is a sweet girl. Danny and think our eyes ofher," Mary said.
Marean meant to seek outSharon
at
once, but It was two weeks before ha
could get away. One wilting June day
he alighted at the Sharon station. The man onthe platform ofwhom be asked
Information told him that Miss Heath
lived on tbe next street "to'ds the upper end."
Marean aet forth. Sharon's popula tion was scattered over the greatest possible area and the next street waa
tbe longest Marean, In his eagerness, ever remembered having traversed. There were no door plates to guide him. Near the end of the street he
paused in bewilderment He had failed to ask his informer what kind
of
a
bouse Miss Heath lived In.There was one set far back from the street upon a mighty lawn an old
-fashioned brick residence, with
com-fort and wealth peeping from every
window. Of course she would not be there. That tittle drab house now looked more likewhat berhome would be. He was on tbe point ofgoing up
and ringing the hen of the drab house when from a mass of rhododen-dron bushes on tbe lawn of tbe big
brick bouse a figure emerged a tall girl In blue who had shining brown
hair. Marean never remembered how he gotto her whether be flew or ran or merely walked in a becoming
man-ner. He know only that be stood
at
last before her with her hands in his."I've found you!" he exulted.
"But I thought you never would."
sbe said, with a weary smile.
They walked across tbe turf to a shaded seat and sat down together. Presently It occurred to Marean
ta
ask"AThat are you doing here,Viola?"
"Vhy, I live here." she said. "Thla
Is my home." Marean stared.
"Your home!" bestammered. "But thought you tended shop for the
McCanns."
"Oh, yes. Mary used to work for my mother. And It's my shop, you know. Danny bought It from me and be Is

forme and itdid them both a lot ofgood."
"But I thought you were poor a glorified kind of shop girl," Marean said. "And I find
that
you not only own the shop, but a red brickresi-dence beside. Don't you see, Viola? You are a princess and I a beggar. I
came down here to ask you to marry
me, but now I don't dare."
Sbelaughed and leaned toward him,
her wide gray eyes shining.
"Ob. youfaint heart!" she said,
soft-ly. "Ifyou won't askme then Ishall have to ask you, for you see, Dick,

Marean was a young lawyer strug

vim and humor; he liked his fellow man better than he liked himself and gave him the best of his knowledge.
But hedid notIntend to be poor; he Intended to succeed and to win his
shareoffortuneby his wits. Hitherto
he had not found time nor felt In a
position toconsider marriage, but now he had begun to look for the right
woman. He had a very clear idea of the kind ofwoman be wanted, but he
was certain that she was not to be found among his acquaintances. The
sisters and daughtersofhiscolleagues. given as theywere to the spending of much money and frivolous habits gen erally, would not, be knew, make good wives for men wbo were bound tor
some years to go verycarefully.
Marean did not talk shout his Ideas concerning marriage tohis friends; he did not talk about anything that lay closest to bis
heart
"Close-mouthed-they called him. but a "rattling good fellow," which lastis tbe highestcom pliment that can be paid from man to man.
Marean was a plain chap, yet his face was more attractive than many

a handsomeone. His eyes were clear,
his color good, bis teeth perfect When he looked at you, you trusted him;
when he smiled at you, you all but
loved him.
Aheavy rain caught him one
morn-ing on his way to his office. As he chanced to he near the little news
store, be hurried In with the two-fol-d
purpose of getting bis paper and be ing sheltered until the storm should '
lessen. The bell above tbe door Jangled pleasantly as he entered. At
the farther end of the store a woman
sat at tbe desk writing. Sbe
appar-ently finished a sentence before sbe
rose and came toward him. Then be I saw that sbe was not tbe woman be
hsd expected tofind there. The pale
little proprietress had been replaced by a girl midway of the twenties, a tall girl with very directeyes, a good color and smooth brown hair. She wore a dark skirt and a simple
shirt-waist faultlessly laundered.
"Goodmorning!" she said. Hervoice was cheerful, as well suited to tbe rslny dark springmorning as a robin's
song.
Marean selected a paper,paid forIt and made a remarkabout the weather. After
that
the girl was alwaystend-ing shop when Msrean stopped for his morning paper. Always she wore tbe
dark skirt and apparently the same
exquisitely laundered waist; always
her voice was cheerful, ber smile
bright Marean began to notice things about her. Clearly she was an unusual type, most unlike the ordinary shop girl. One morning he asked herwhat had become ofthe McCanna that they were no longer In the store.
