Honor The Dear Mother.
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.

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?”
