WOMAN. THE MOTHER OF THE HOME
The government of the country de
pends upon the character of the men who
rule it —the character of those men has
its genesis in the home. The character
of the home is made and enlarged or lim
ited by the woman who is the mother of
the home. The national capital is found
ed on the national hearth.—Lavina Hart.
MOTHER, A WONDERFUL THING
It is a wonderful thing, a mother. Oth
er folk can love you, but only your moth
er understands- She works for you, looks
after you, loves you, forgives you every
thing you may do, understands you. and
then the only thing bad she ever does to
you is to die and leave you.
—Baroness Von Hutton.

well when they are consitpated.
For constipation you will find
nothing quite so good as Chamber
lain’s Tablets. They not only
move the bowels but improve the
appetite and strengthen the diges
tion. They are Sold by All Deal

Talk about easy running—this is
it.
Somebody is sure to get the Si!
venvare. It you were going to
guess the lucky person, what would
be your guess? No. 14 guesses that
No. 12 will be the winner. This
is just guessing. Now what’s
your guess? No. 14 could have
made another guess, by naming
herself (No. 11) as the want to be
winner.
There are three Saturdays yet to
work, it looks like you might get a
half dozen or a dozen new ones
each Saturday. There will be just
three more counts.
By nine o’clock on Tuesday night
June 10th, the winner of the beau
tiful oak chest of 26 pieces of 1847
Silverware will lie made public,
and, if the winner (or her friends
are present) she can carry this
beautiful prize with her, and
dream “when slumbers chain has
bound her” that she has Silverware
for a life time, and, when she
awakes next morning, she will find
a reality in that dream. It is not
often that you have such opportun
ity. If you have no club, get up
one; if you have a small club add
to it daily (except Sunday.) If
you add one a day from this date
(May 20,) you would have a nice
club.
Just three more counts for spe
cial prizes. How many more days
before June 10th? Time enough
yet for any one of you to get two
prizes, value $27.50, if you win the
best ones.
The last day or so is a good time
to work, but it is not so good a
time as NOW.
