WHAT MOTHER GIVES.
They always wonder wlint. mother gives,
Hut 1 tell .von the list in long—
Comfort anil elioer nsd grace ami love,
And sacrifice mul snug I
They ot'len question wlint mother gives,
And 1 miswer Mint she given nil—
Her life mul Imr hope mul her trust mul
ilrenin,
Her heart mul soul, to the mil.
(She gives, she gives— nil, how nlmll we
j, vomit
The million tilings there are
That sho gives so those that she loves
may walk
’Nonth the light of a larky star!
glie gives hor patience, hur rest, her
i rights,
Her pleasure, her chance, her turn—
Ami timybo they'll never render you one
Of the million crowns you earn I
Why, nobody gives what mother gives!
Nobody could give morel
l)ny by day through the rolling years
She gives from her little store,
Tireless, eliocri'nlly, all her life,
A gift for Ilia sake of others;
And how ninny children really know
Wlmt. a beautiful gift Is mother's.

the speeding mitomobllo with its encour

Many a warning has coma from wel
fare workers and those conversant with
court proceedings' that automobile riding,
unlimited mul unclmpcroiiod, is playing
a large port in the increase of juvenile
delinquency. When police crusades lie-
coino necessary to put a cheek upon those
unwholesome performances it is time for
decent, society to wake up.
“Before we were married,” sail the
young wife, "you used to bring me
flowers every day, Now you never even
think of buying me a bunch of violets. ”
There were tears in her eyes. But. lie

” My darling,” ho said, with great
tenderness, "the pretty flower givlH

that she didn't really cure much for
flowers anyway.
