You may talk about the “man¬

the people go to work and help
manifest destiny along the town
will soon grow down hill.—Ex.
The positions held by the Rus¬

go forward and then backward
like two opposing teams on a
foot-ball ground. It is generally
believed though, that the wily
Japs Will wift but, and the reading
public is eagerly watching the
daily press for the outcome of
this fearful struggle.
Power of an Ideal.
A beautiful statue once stood
in the market place of an Italian
city. It was the statue of a
Greek slave girl. It represent¬
ed the slave as tidy, well dressed
and handsome. A ragged, un
kempt, forlorn street child, com
ing across the statue in her play,
stopped and gazed at it in ad
miration. She was entranced
and captivated by it. She gazed
long and admiringly. Moved by
a sudden impulse, she went home
and washed her face and combed
her hair. Another day she stop¬
ped again before the same statue
and admired it, and received new
inspiration. Next day her tat¬
tered clothes were washed and
mended. Each time she looked
at the statue she found something
in its beauties until she was a
transformed child.—Treasury of
Religious Thought.

“ Jold Up Your Head,”
All that has been written and
sung of the fathomless depths of
a mother’s love and loyalty, can
inot express half the vivid beauty
of this most exquisitely pure and
'tender.of the human emotions.
This fact was pathetically exem¬
plified by a sad little drama in
real life which occurred in one of
the ioeaj (Courts recently.
Four men accused of counter¬
feiting the-currency of the gov¬
ernment were brought before the
tribunal of J.siaiice for a prelimin¬
ary hearing. So damning was
the evidence against them, that
the judge imposed a heavy bond
for their safe appearance at the
fall session. Resourceless, for¬
lorn, they could not meet the le¬
gal requirements and were re¬
manded to jail to await trial. A
portion of the audience which
probably took a more agonized
interest in the proceedings than
the prisoners themselves, were
their female relatives, Among
them was an old, gray woman,
who, in spite of her cumbrous
years, ah:wed a straightforwaid
eye and a sturdy front—the moth¬
er of one of the accused.
As the dejected procession
passed out of the dock and shuf¬
fled toward the prisoners’ room
it came to a dead nalt before
these tearful women who had
just seen those dearest on earth
to them practically branded as
criminals. There was muttered,
sobbing sympathy, a moment’s
yielding to that spirit of despon¬
dency which comes at such times
to crushed, sinning humanity,
and the four men went on with
dragging footsteps towards the
vehicle which was to transfer
them to the chill guardianship of
locks and bars. It was one of
the bitter crises in the lives of
men and women -on the
side love tinctured with com¬
miseration and a vague sense of
on the other over¬
whelming sname, poignant sor¬
over the woe wrought in the
lives of those innocent, weeping
and a sickening realiza¬
tion of the collapse of their own
honorable careers. One would
have said on the impulse, that
here was all somber tragedy, not
a ray of hope, not even a quav¬
ering note ol encouragement for
these men with disgrace thick
upon them—
“HOLDUP YOUR HEAD!”
Sharp, in penetrating tones,
these challenging Words broke
the pitiful silence. They were
spoken by the old, gray woman,
the mother of one of the alleged
felons, to her son, who, with
burning, downcast face, was slip¬
ping from the stare or publicity
with his companions.
The effect was electrical.
Inspired by that same voice
which had lulled him in infancy,
which had encouraged his little
prattling prayers, and which had
given him a reverent “God speed”
when he bra\ ely faced the world
as a man, this creature which ten
seconds before had hung his head
in hopeless shame, straightened
up with the stiffness of a ramrod,
cast a loving glance into those
watchful old eyes, surveyed the
gaping spectators boldly, and
strode out of the room with the
mien of a man who goes bravely
to meet his fate, fortified by the
love which knows no limitations
save the plight of its object.
His guilt, his shame, his fall
mattered little to her. He was
her son! Tne fact that he had
sinned, that he had been week,
that other men looked with indif¬
ferent contempt on him, did not
change the saeredness of that
relation. They might have all,
89 parately or collectively, spurn¬
ed and insulted him—she would
still have been there to brace his
spirit, to make him feel that in
the moment of his deepest humil¬
iation, he had a friend unaffected
by anything save a desire to see
him meet, manfully, unafraid,
any ill of fortune or of his own
making.
The ringing injunction which
she gave him when his soul was
chanting its simple, despairing
de profundis, will strike an echo¬
ing chord in the hearts of all
those who have had or may have
erring children—the true, un¬
flaunting sentiment of thos;who
have been smirched by their own
sad actions—
“Hold up your head!”—Con¬
stitution.
Don’t let the good chance go by.
