“MOTHER HAS HAD HER DAY.’’
If Mother would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen the faded gown;
She would sometimes take an hour’s
rest, •
And sometimes a trio to town.
And it shouldn’t be all for the chil
dren,
The fun, and the cheer, and the
Play;
With the patient droop on her tired
mouth,
And the Mother has had her day!
True, Mother has had her day,
dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and
the house
As busy as ever a bee;
When she rocked you all to sleep,
dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out, and did With
out,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come, dears;
Her hair is growing white,
And her eyes are gaining the far
away look
That peers beyond the Night.
One of these days in the morning
Mother will not be here;
She will fade away into silence,
The mother so true and dear.
Then, what will you do in the day
light,
And what in the gloaming dim;
And Father, tired and lonesome, then,
Pray, what will you do for him?
If you want to keep your mother,
You must make her rest today;
Must give her a share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.

MOTHER.
Each of us have now, or hold in
loving remembrance, a glorious
Mother. In our early youth Mother
was all in all, but is it not a fact that
as we grow older we become forget
ful of her goodness and less thought
ful of the happiness we should be
giving her in return for her tender
devotion? This should not be a duty
service, but one of purest love, and
no matter how earnest are our ef
forts, we cannot repay her the joy
and pleasure she gave us during our
childhood days. Some one has force
fully said, “I would desire for a
friend, the son who has never resisted
the tears of his Mother.” ’Tis only
such sons that get the full sweetness
out of life. Permanent succesg and
happiness do not come as a reward

of ingratitude, disrespect and lack of
affection for Mother. The reverse
has been, is now, and always will be
true. The same old-fashioned, sweet
Mother-love must ever be the founda
tion for permanent, ideal home life.
Without it the structure will fall and
can never be replaced.—Samuel

MOTHER’S VACANT CHAIR.
I go a little farther on in tl.e old
house, and I find Mother’s chair. She
had so many cares and troubles to
soothe that it must have rockers. I
remember it well. It was an old
chair and the rockers were almost
worn out, for I was the youngest,
and the chair had rocked the whole
family. It made a creaking noise as
it moved, but there was music in its
sound. It was just high enough to
allow us children to put our heads
into her lap. That was the bank
where we deposited all our hurts and
worries. Oh, what a chair that was.
It was different from Father’s chair
—it was entirely different. You ask
me how? I cannot tell, but we all
felt it was different. Perhaps there
was about this chair, more gentleness,
more tenderness, more grief when
we had done wrong. When we were
wayward Father scolded, but Mother
cried. It was a very wakeful chair!
In the sick day of children other
chairs could not keep awake—it kept
easily awake. That chair knew all
the old lullabys, and all those word
less songs which mothers sing to their
children. Songs in which all pity
and compassion and sympathetic in
fluences are combined. That old
chair has stopped rocking for a good
many years. It may be set up in the
loft or garret, but it holds a queen
ly power yet.—DeWitt Talmage.

A Shampoo That Will
Not Harm The Hair
Just as a cheap and strong soap
draws and burns the skin, cheap
shampoos, pastes and emulsions con
tain an excess of alkali and draw and
bum the hair, causing it to lose its
color and life. If you are not careful
in selecting preparations with which
to wash the hair it is liable to suffer
an injury.
Shuco Shampoo is prepared from
the highest quality of cocoanut and
palm oils perfectly saponified and sus
pended in a perfect solution that when
applied to the hair two or three tea
spoonful and rubbed briskly at once
makes a bushel of creamy, rich, bub
bling and sparkling lather. Before
it all dirt vanishes, leaving the scalp
nd hair perfectly clean, lustrous, bril
liant and soft as silk. Your mirror
will tell you why Shuco Shampoo
makes hair with a thousand lights. At
all drug stores. adv ■
