They were married in Illinois and started at once for Oregon, stopping in Yamhill County, where he purchased a fine quarter-section of land. She was not strong, she had never been very trong. Her husband knew it when he married her. In due time eight children called her "mother." She made all their clothes and did her own housework be sides; arid yet she was not strong. Her husband satd "it often and regret fully. He was robust, active and ex ceedingly anxious to "get along." His regret at "Mother's" feebleness some or his neighbors thought was a regret that she could not do more to aid him in his "getting along" schemes. She herself regretted that she was not strong. "Father works so hard," she would sometimes say. "I feel that I am not as much help to him as I might be If I were a real strong woman." In the meantime her husband added by purchase another 120 acres to his farm. , She kept the house in order and did a loving, Uod-fearing mother's part for her children, whom she was anxious to send to Forest Grove to college. She was up early and to bed late. She was busy, strenuously busy, every hour. She milk-d the cows and made butter, worked in the garden, cooked for "hands." raised and sold chickens and had turkey for sale, cut and dried apples on the roof of a wagon shed in the backyard, chopped or picked up wood for the cook stove when the men were busy in the field, but she never had a dollar of her own never. "When father was rushed," she could, nd more than once did, go Into the field to drive a team a half day, quitting in time barely to hurry Into a hot stuffy liule kitchen to get dinner for 1 people; and yet "Mother" was not "strong." She would sit down on the kitchen door neps some nights after all the others were In bed, dreading the coming of the morrow, and hoping It would not be so If f A 1 -i f w-'. .S ' - hot. She was afraid she might "give out." She would lean her aching head against the un pain Led door-frame, cross her tired, aching hands listlessly on her lap, close her eyes, and wonder about many things. Some of her neighbors with ' families only half as large as her own kept strong hired girl tn the kitchen the year around. She often wondered vaguely how it would seem to have a hired girl In her kitchen. She wondered how it would seem for her to be away from home over uight. The fondest hope ct her lite was that she might go back to Illinois to see her mother. She said she wouldn't be afraid to go "such a long distance alone," and "Father" had often said when the rail road got through to Portland she should go. "If such and such things turned out well, and he would send the boys to the Tualatin Academy, too." By this time "Father" had added acres more to the farm and the railroad was through to Portland, but "Mother" never made that visit, nor did the chil dren go to Forest Grovo. "One thing and another," she said, "has kept me and the children at home." One day a letter came bringing news of her mother's death. At this she wept for days, for she "wanted so much to see once more that dear mother s face. But "Father" said he had "so much taxes, to pay and the boys were giving him so much trouble and now that her mother was dead and buried she could not do any good back, there, and there was no use wearing herself out making the long trip. So she stayed at home. One day, exhausted . utterly In tdy, mind, and soul, she clasped those tired bony hands across her breast in sleep to wake no more. To the calls of that hustling man, to which she had so often responded at the break of day. the an swer no longer came, "Yes, father, I'm coming." Did it pay? C. E. CLINE. FENDER - NUTTER IIP JIG. COVNCIIi APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE. Question of Limiting Speed of Street 'cars Will Also Be Given Consideration. At -an adjourned meeting of the City Council, yesterday .afternoon. Council man Vaughn made a motion, which was carried, that a committee of three be appointed to look into the streetcar fender question, and that the speed of streetcars within certain districts be limited. Councllmen Vaughn, Pres ton and Baker were appointed to In vestigate and to report at the next meeting of the council. Mr. Vaughn said that a committee was appointed last year to take up the fender problem, but found that the state law governed in these matters. The city ordinance, which was re pealed, he said, was never complied with, however, either by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company or any other streetcar company In the city. The Hunter fender, he continued, was the one required. "Accidents are occurring in the city from time to lime," he said, "and whether this is due to a lack of pre caution on the part of motormen, or lack of proper fenders, I do not know, but I believe the matter should be in vestigated. I want the ears to be so equipped as to assure the safety of the public. "I believe this committee should also look into the question of placing a limitation of the speed of cars within certain boundaries, and that the City Attorney should see to it that such aws as we have are enforced and that others be made as seems necessary." Councilman Preston said thatmany accidents would be averted If all the cars were equipped with air-brakes. These, he said, would give the motor men complete control of their cars. Mayor Lane said he believed the greatest danger was at the crossings, where if two cars meet while one is at a standstill, the other should also stop until the first one has started. Councilman Baker complained of the condition of the sidewalk on Morrison street, between Park and Tenth,, but was assured by other members of the Council tha as soon as the tenants have vacated the Pennoyer property a building valued at SoOO.000 Is to be erected, after which the sidewalk is to be repaired. The Portland Women' Club com plained of bicycle riding on the side walks, and requested the Council to pass an ordinance requiring all wheel men to tag their bicycles with a num ber, as owners of automobiles are re quired to do. A communication in regard to the establishment by the Oregon & Wash ington Railroad Company of a grade below that of the streets on the penin sula, was referred to the committee on streets, with the suggestion by Mayor Lane that a common user clause be in corporated into any franchise con sidered. The Civil Service Commission was authorized to appoint a clerk for six months. .Relics of Drowned Sailors. NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. June 14.

"The Bridge was rendered by the Unlver slty Glee Club. The valedictory, de livered by George Francis Roche, was highly creditable. It was an appeal to young men for a higher moral stand ard in. both private and public life. Harry Joseph Couillard gave a piano solo. John P. Kavanaugh was introduced by President Gallagher as the orator of the day. Mr. Kavanaugh sustained his reputation as a speaker by the address he gave. He spoke of the lm poitance of the graduating period, when the school with its associations and memories is left behind and the student takes his place In the world. Mr. Kavanaugh said that the life of the graduate had heretofore been full of happiness, but now he was to enter a very different atmosphere, an at mosphere pervaded with the spirit of selfishness and a world in which few words of encouragement are spoken "That will bo the crucial test of his manhood," said Mr. Kavanaugh. "He may or may not have chosen his call lng before leaving the school, but it were bettor that he had. He may not have made a choice and may expect to move along tne line . of least resist ance. He may have been idle and careless. But let me say then is the time when great careers begin. The situation with adversities and difficul ties leads to the pathway of high honor. Temporary failures are step ping stones to progress. Lincoln failed In everything lie tried, and he became one of our greatest men. Men the World Honors. '"Singleness of purpose to overcome every obstacle and to seize every vant age grpund is essential to success in anything. I speak to you as a busi ness man, and I lay to these young men that you mu! t be sober, decent, thoroughly grounded in honesty and morality, fired with, high ambition and full of enterprise, industry and un moved by petty vexations. The world honors such men." Mr. Kavanaugh warned the young men of the danger of shady methods in business and expressed regret at the low standard of business ethics, which he declared ought to be higher. He pointed to the corruption In high places of officials honored by the people. "These men." he said, "were able men, with families, but they have been stripped of honor and their children brought to shame through rveir crimes. Their fate ought to be a warn ing to all young men that they cannot, traffic w-lth dishonesty. Cultivate the virtues and honesty of the pioneers, whose latch' string always hung out side the cabin door,, for their sturdy honesty was the only protection they needed."
