Time has scattered the snowy flukes on her brow, plowed deep furrows on her cheeks, but is she not beautiful now? The lips are j thin and shrunken, but these are lips that have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks and the sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim, vet it glows with soft radiance of holy love which can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother. The sands of i life are nearly run out, but, fee ble as she is, she will go farther and reach down lower for you j than any one else on earth. You cannot walk in a midnight haunt where she can’t see you, you can not mount a scaffo'd too high for her to reach that she may not kiss and bless you in evidence of her deathless love. When the world shall despise and forsake you, when it leaves you by the way side to die unnoticed,, the dear old mother will gather you up in her feeble arms and carry you home and tell you of all your vir tues, until you almost forget your j soul is disfigured by vices. Love her tenderly, cheer her declining years with devotion and live a life that will be a monument to her memory when she is gone. Selected. — Plant Camphor Trees In Florida. For many years the world’s' supply of camphor has been con trolled by a Japanese syndicate, a condition that has created wide spread uneasiness; for camphor is not only used in medicine, but it is an essential of many impor tant articles of manufacture, es pecially smokeless powder, which is now a military necessity every where. The monopoly is at last likely to be broken by the success c e American capitalists, who an nounce the satisfactory outcome of three years of experiment in raising camphor in Florida. The result has been so enco . aging that an American drug-hoe:-- has planted a thousand acres with camphor-trees. —Youth’s Com panion. Twelve Reasons Why You Should Sow Peas. First. They are fairly good hu | man food, says C. R. Hudson. Second. They are one of our most nutritious feeds for stock. Third. The peas are worth from $5 to S2O per acre. Fourth. Cowpea hay is easily worth S2O per ton. The yield varies from one to three tons per ; acre. Fifth. If left on the land and turned under, the vines are worth from $5 to sls per acre fertilizer. Sixth. The roots and stubble are worth from $2 to $4 per acre as fertilizer. Seventh. The vines, roots and stubble furnish humus (vegetable matter), something nearly all soils are deficient in. Eighth. This humus helps to make the land cultivate easily; absorbs and holds moisture that will aid a crop to continue its growth during a drouth and fur nishes the conditions necessary for the existence of beneficial ! bacteria that enable plants to get ! nitrogen from the air. Ninth. The shade of peavines helps in the formation of valuable i nitrates in the soil. Tenth. Peavine roots are good I subsoilers. They go to consider ! able depths, opening up the earth j so air and water can make a deep ! soil. J Eleventh. Cowpeas fit in well in nearly all systems of rotations of crops. They are well adapted to growing among corn and after small grain harvested in the spring. Twelfth. Peas get some of their ! nitrogen from the air, free of cost to the farmer. Nitrogen in commercial fertilizers cost abou 20 cents per pound. Nearly everything said about cowpeas is also true of soy beans. The beans excel in being a little more valuable as stock feed, a little better adopted to wet soils, stands drouths some better and usually make slightly larger I yields of grain and hay. TTTF. MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1913 The Kind That Rises. An interesting and significant incident is told in the New York Sun by a member of a law firm who hired a Russian Jew as office boy. He was small, and obvious ly underfed, and his employer , soon arranged that he should have at least one good meal in a near-by restaurant. Later he got lodgings for him in a better! ; district than that in which he had ' grown up. Within a year he was attend ing lectures at an evening law wait to be told what to do. He did things. When he had a mo ment’s leisure he “boned” law books. Some time in his second year i he asked advice on a point of law, 'saying he did not agree with the I j law-school lecturer on the matter. | * ‘ ‘Ask me tomorrow. I’m busy, ” said the lawyer. | “But please tell me where to look. It won’t do me any good unless I have it today.” I “Why not?” The boy replied, “Well, you ,see, I lecture to night, and the | j point comes ud.” “Lecture where? to whom?” | “Why, to rny class. I have thirty boys, and I’m delivering j last year’s law-school lectures to them at ten cents a head.” The lawyer looked up the point for his confrere, who is now a rising lawyer in a great city. When this ex-newsboy and product of the streets and night schools was first employed, he could spell, write clear English, and parse, which is more than a good many high-school graduates can do. He got his English in t the old-fashioned way, through spelling, grammer and writing; but he could not have passed an entrance examination in “Eng lish,” because he could not have told the plot of “Henry Esmond.” Gone But not Forgotten. “What have you got in your iocket, Lisette?” “A lock of my husband’.- hair.” “But your husband is still liv ing?” “Most assuredly: but he hasn’t got any more hair.” —Fliegende t Blaetter. 1 Professional Criticism. At a banquet of New York newspapermen recently a story was told to exemplify the pride which every man should take in the work by which he makes a living, says Everbody’s. Two street sweepers, seated on a curbstone, were discussing a comrade who had died the da.y j before. “Bill certainly was a goodj sweeper,” said one. “Y-e-s,” conceded the other' thoughtfully. “But —don’t you' think he was a little weak around the lamp-posts?” Notice Local Legislation.
