Parents Should Not Turn Over
Property to Children.
Dorothy Dir, in Atlanta Georgian.
The other day the newspapers told of
a suit brought by an old woman against
her son to recover from him the Iprop-
erty she had given him in consider
ation of his agreement to provide for
her as long as ahe lived. The woman
had boon comfortably off, but no sooner
had she deeded her home anil her bank
stock to her son than he began to neg
lect imd mistreat her, and was finally
about, to send her to the poor house
when she nppeuled to the law to give
her tmek the money out if which she
had been virtually defrauded by his un-
kept promise to cheer and comfort her
old age.
Not many sons, let us hope, are so
avaricious and heartless as this one,
but the case, unusual as it is, sounds a
note of warning that all parents would
he wise to heed. While humanity is con
stituted us it is, money will always he
a charm to conjure with, and aslong as
any one possesses it he or she is abso
lutely certain of consideration from
those shout her, or him, whether these
others be the menials of a hotel or
one’s own children.
Therefore, there can he no folly
greater than that of parents who turn
over their entire estates to their chil
dren, on the assumption that their
children’s appreciation and thankful
ness and sense of (ilial duty will prompt
them to do everything possible for the
hanpiness and well-being of their old
father or mother.
tlratitude has been defined as a lively
sense of favors to come, and this is
just as true in one’s own family as it is
elsewhere. So if, when you a-e old,
you want to be sure of an ever welcome
place at your son’s or daughter’s tire-
side, if you wunt your opinion listened
to with respect, and to he treated with
t ender consideration, keep your purse
strings in your own hands. Between
grandma and grandpa who are depen
dent, and grandma and grandpa who
are the source of a constant stream of
presents and benefactions, there is all
the difference between a happy and a
miserable old age.
Sometimes the pressure brought to
bear upon a parent, especially upon an
old mother, to induce her to turn over
tier property to her children, on the
vague proviso that they will take care
of her, is well-nigh irresistible, hut
under no condition in the world should
she yield.
For one thing, the very fset that the
children are selfish enough to want to
place their parents in a dependent posi
tion, and that they are so eager and
covetous, and their fingers itch so for
the money that they cannot wait until
their parents die to possess themselves
of it, shows on its very face that they
are not to be trusted. As soon as they
get possession of what they want they
will begin to begrudge paying the price
of their bargain, and to show the old
father or mother that he. or she, is
considered a burden.
Any son, or daughter, who has the
right sort of love for his, or her, pa
rents will want the old people to have
the happiness of being independent,
and the freedom that having money of
one’s own gives. Then, no matter how
good and dutiful one’s own son or
daughter may be, there is always the
in-law problem to consider, and it is
utterly beyond the power of any wo
man to guarantee that her husband will
treat her parents with proper consider
ation, or of any man to prevent his
wife from nml; -g the lives of his father
and mother ulj ly miserable if he takes
them to live in his own house, and his
wife happens to he cf a mean, cattish
disposition.
Hence it is the proof of senile im
becility for parents to beggar them
selves during their lifetime for their
children; hut, on the other hand, it is
monumental selfishness and folly that
make parents hold on to every cent
they have with such a miserly grip that
nothing but death can loosen it.
There are plenty of rich men who are
hoarding money in hanks while their
children struggle with absolute want,
and are deprived of every comfort ard
luxury in life.
Such a father makes a fatal mistake,
because he alienates his children from
him. They have a right to resent his
sel fishiness toward them, and he haB no
cause for just grievance if they look
forward to his death with pleasure in
stead of grief.
The great Chicago philanthropist,
Dr. Parsons, declared that every man
should be his executor and administer
his estate while he is still alive. This
is a wise way of looking at the subject.
When a man grows old he should see to
it that he secures a sufficient income to
himself to provide comfortably for his
own and his wife’s old age, and then if
he would be happy he should divide his
property among his children in such a
way as will help them best, at any
time when they need it most.
Surely there can be no happiness
more perfect and complete than that of
the old man who sees about him his
family comfortable and prosperous, and
feels that his love and his efforts have
helped smooth the pathway for them,
and whoso children and his children’s
children rise up and call him blessed.
Common Sense
Wins.
Cleveland Wiin Dealer.
A great many of my girl friends have
repeated their courting experiences, and
I have found that in the majority of
cases girls rather prefer flowery and
romantic courtsnips.
However, I was seldom tempted to
relate mine, as it sounded so silly to
me. ,
This, of course, won for me some un
popularity.
The moBt of our town young men
made a good appearance, and seemed to
prefer girls who dressed best.
My parents were of small means,
consequently my dress was leas attrac
tive, though always as neat as the rest.
Somehow I had my share of atten
tions from the fellows, but could not
approve of some familiarities the most
of them claimed, which made them dis
gusting to me. j
Among our town hoys was the only
son of a respectable family.
He was a fine young man, who seemed
to care little for the girls, although they
all wished for his company.
It happened that he was employed by
the people with whom 1 lived and at
tended school, he having just finished
the same school.
Of course, being schoolmates, we of
ten talked of the prospects of the future
concerning our classmates.
These conversations opened many
phases of life, and I came to regard
him as a man of principle, not show.
I found he loved his mother, was just
as good as his word, was industrious,
economical, and a lover of a really true
girl, who could keep a secret and could
avoid repeating everything she knew.
As time went on I became very con
scious of his presence, for he seemed to
watch me closely.
He was a man I could love, I thought,
never dreaming of his affection for me.
Finally, we became sweethearts, and
in five years were married.
I have found him to be all and more
than he seemed to be, and, better still,
he says the same of me.
Our home, with two dear little ones, is
most happy indeed. I have no reason
to believe other than I have the right
man.

Solving- Our Problem.
Albany Herald.
The financing of the cotton crop is
a mooted question at present, and prom
ises to be for some time. Congress is
working overtime to pass measures
which will enable the farmer to realize
on his crop, so that the necessities of
life may be procured. A merchant ma
rine is being provided, that our cotton,
as well as various other crops, may be
exported and the mills of the world
kept running.
A temporary season of financial de
pression is upon us. Ways and means
will he provided, but we must be level
headed while problems under considera
tion are worked out and put into actual
operation.
Taking all facts into consideration it
may be that this condition of affairs is
a blessing in disguise. We have con
tinued to stay by the one crop, (cotton,)
year after year, knowing beyond any
doubt that sooner or later we were to
meet face to face, by the side of which
the present condition is to be welcomed
—the boll weevil.
For the past twenty years, each fall
wo have realized that this pest was
nearer our State. Yet we have made
no preparation. In this length of time
we could have passed through all the
experimental stages and could have
been growing all of our own feed crops
as well as our meat supply. Every year
we send out of the State millions of
dollars for hog, hominy and hay, this
money goin , to States no better—and
some not so well —prepared for their
growing.
As the resources of the farmers grow
smaller the necessity of self-preserva-i
tion will become more keenly felt and
an avenue of esca pe sought. A three- I
fold victory will be gained. If the Geor- j
gta farmer will do what God intended
him to do, grow his own food and feed
crops, the coming of the boll weevil will
hold no terrors, and as the cotton pro
duction is reduced the price of the sta
ple will inevitably he better. Georgia
will then go forward by leaps and
bounds.
A man gets very little exercise when
he goes for a walk with his wife where
dry goods and milliners’ show windows
abound.
None but the initiated know the in
tricases in a printing office. The
average reader who detects a mis
spelled word or a letter upside down
feels that his mission on earth is not
fully accomplished until he has called
the attention of the editor to the glar
ing defect. He doesn’t notice the
thousands of letters > that are in the
right place, nor the multitude of words
correctly spelled, but his eagle eye is
glued on that one which is out of place.
So with our deeds. Man does a thou
sand good things and no attention is
paid to them, but if he makes one mis
take it is flashed all over the world. A
lifetime may be spent in building a
reputation that may be wrecked in a
moment. The world is a harsh critic,
exacting to a fault, and if the Father
doesn’t temper justice with mercy we
may all fail of heaven. -

A prominent citizen died, and a mem
ber of the family went to the local
newspaper office to read the proof of
the obituary notice. There was the
usual remark about the deceased being
“taken to his last resting-place,” but
by one of those typographical fatalities
which occur in every newspaper shop,
the word which had been written “rest
ing” appeared in the proof as “roast
ing.”
A member of the family was scan
dalized. “Look here,” he shouted,
“this has got to be corrected.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” murmured the
editor. “He was three years behind
with his subscription. I guess I’ll let it

had close calls from instant death. The
lightning ran along the side of the
house at the front where Dukes was
resting, tearing off planks near his
head, running through his hat, singeing
his hair and beard and knocking him
unconscious. Mercer was also knocked
unconscious. A small child between
