THE MOST CRUEL I.
Text, "Honor thy father and thy moth
er." Ex. xx, 12. x
Parents take the place of One! They
are "kings by dhino right." They
have u unliinil authority which. Is h
cellectloii of that from heuveu. 1 "The
baby's skltM are Its mother's eyes" in
more ways than one. Parents are
wiser than children, . Ignorant
parents have a wisdom k.iIikmI from
experience which Is more valuable
than the knowledge of the schools. It
Is tho wisdom given from above. The
Almighty sl.-'iiips the approval of am
bassadorship upon n father and moth
er's position by declaring this com
mandment: "Honor, respect, obey."
Many a niau In these days honors
his Heavenly Father outwardly who
treats his earthly father Hko a servant.
Tho superintendent of a state reform
atory told mo that hundreds of boys
say their descent to hell began with
disrespect of fathers and mothers.
Tho murderer awaiting execution drew
on his white cell wall n gallows with
Ave steps first, profanity; second,
Sabbath breaking; third, disrespect for
parents; fourth, murder: Hie liftb was
the platform of death. This broken
commandment dishonor to father nnd
mother was halfway up.
The Hoathon Chinese,
I am afraid that tho liberty f c':." '
truva ctmf cne uerereiiee paid to ybutn
In our modern twentieth century civ
IMwiHon diminish rather than Increase
our respect for parents. We say
that the civilization of the Chinese is
Inferior, and we send missionaries to
them, but the respect and veneration
paid to parents by the Chinese put to
Hhnine our neglect mid Ingratitude. I
remember with what surprise I saw
the son of a venerable Confucian, him
self a man of forty, wuit behind his
father's chair during a long interview.
It was a vestige of the stately man
ners of the east, slrangely contrasting
with our civilized rudeness. The "un
civilized Ilea thou Chinese" have a cus
tom that would do credit to a Chris
tian people. On every New Year's
morning eveiff man and hoy from the
emperor to the lowest peasant pays a
visit to his mother. lie carries n pres
ent varying in value according to his
station and means, thanks her for all
that she has done for him and asks
the continuance of her favor for an
other year. These innocent and child
like people are taught that the mother
"who bore them should be respected as
long as she lives and her memory ven- j
crated after her death. In my lecture j
travels I II nd that the highest type of f
our American people are those that
show a fine deference and honor to
fathers and mothers. The growth of
tho Mothers' day observance Is one of
tho hopeful signs of the times.
The Most Cruel Sin.
At a certain stage In life many of
our shallow young people fall into the
unkind habit of criticising their par
ents. If a father has largo property
and Is- wise enntrrh to keep It In his
own name he can be assured of out
ward respei t I'.ul ( lie unrealized and
uni'eall''alile lurluivs of I he Inquisition

ungiTli'fi : whs ami I'anglitei'K. What
vicious li'oi's a girl strikes at her
mother's lender breast! What dagger
thrusts fathers suffer from hoys for
whom they have sacrllled their all! I
have seen women bend with shame
and old men whiten to the lips and
quiver as an aspen leaf under the mer
ciless lash of an unkind tongue. It Is
the moat devilish, the most damnable,
the most cruel sin on the human cal
endar. There shouldn't be any un
happy old people. The latter days
should bo the golden days of their
lives. The son who feela too "smart"
to consult with his father, the daugh
ter who is too "snippy" to confide in
her mother, will some day he willing
to give their good right arm for the
privilege of having a father "butt into"
his affairs and "meddle" with her
housekeeping. Don't ask a mother to
sit with folded hands, either. Let her
help with duties suitable to her
strength. Lack of any work Is torture.
"Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth."
Sure, you're smarter. You ought to
bo. Each generation enjoys privileges
unknown lo the one preceding better
schools, larger general culture, more
complicated social life. Then the old
mind falls, occasional lapses in Eng
lish, trivial errors in scholarship. Xnd
when they come for u visit dou't be
shocked. "Father is so crude," she
whispered apologetically. They are
surprised at his table manners, cha
grined at his antediluvian habits, pro
voked that he cannot hear as well as
he used to. How long Is he going to
wear that coat and hat? Mow humili
ating his Independence of the English
gram ninr! No use to get a doctor in
Ills last sickness. Thev ea to the drw
srore ami get a bottle of patent medi
cine with lots of alcohol in. They
economize on the coffin and beat the
undertaker down, but buy lots of flow
ers that folk's can see. Possibly the
recording angel stands about to see
how much black they wear and counts
the floral designs at the cemetery but
he doesn't! Say, brother, as you hope
for pence on earth, be good to that fa
ther; honor him with comradeship.
Kiss that mother and tell her she Is
the best mother God ever made. A
year from now you might give all you
hnve In the world to do It, and it will
be too lute! .

the
CHEAP LABOR PERIL.
Many large i-mployers of labor
would be delighted to have the
federal government, through its
treaty making power, hold down
the bars and let in the alien.
What would become of the
American fanner if the great
corporations, of the country
should enter the land market,
buy all of the best lands of the
country and then cultivate them
with Mongolian, Chinese. Hindu,
Japanese and other cheap alien
labor? The rich and the pow
erful will have their fortunes
vastly increased by having all
barriers to cheap labor broken
down. They know that the
quickest nud surest route Is
through the treaty making pow
er, because they' only deal first
with one man, the president,
and one body, two-thirds of the
senate. Representative Slsson

Their Causes and Effects and
Treatment They Require.
A varicose vein is an enlarged and
twisted vein, generally In the leg. It is
caused by stagnation of the blood.
Often the patient has a hereditary pre
disposition to varicose veins or he has
a weak heart, with a consequent tend
ency to sluggish venous circulation.
Anything that interferes with the
, flow of blood through the veins may
bring on an attack. Pressure from a
tight garter and very severe musculnr
exertion are often exciting causes. Per
sons who are obliged to stand for sev
eral hours at a time, like policemen,
washerwomen and saleswomen, are of
ten subject to this trouble. Under or
dinary conditions the blood in the legs
must run up hill constantly in order to
regain the heart In the case of those
who stand most of the day the blood
has to work hard hour after hour In
order to overcome the force of gravity,
and as a result the veins gradually en
large and harden.
In mild cases of varicose veins, espe
cially In young and otherwise healthy
people, the symptoms are very slight
There Is a feeling of weight in the leg
and a dull ache toward the end of the
day. The ache Is soon relieved by the
patient's resting with the leg somewhat
raised so that the blood can flow back
more easily. Sometimes painful cramps
complicate the trouble, and the cramp
is likely to return again and again until
life becomes a burden.
More serious complications are throm
bosis (or the clotting of the blood in
the vein) and phlebitis (or inflamma
tion of a vein). Often a form of ec
zema appears in the skin of the leg or
an ulcer may arise. When varicose
veins ere very troublesome surgical
treatment Is advisable, but the milder
cases can be much relieved by rest and
proper bandaging. Youth's Companion.
Varlet and Valet.
"We have only ourselves, or, rather,
our forefathers, to blame for the trou
ble about the pronunciation of 'valet,' "
says the London Chronicle. "If they
had stuck to 'varlet' there would have
been no difficulty. 'Valet' and 'varlet'
are the same word, meaning originally
just a boy, the diminutive of 'vassal,'
a man. Unfortunately when our ances
tors applied a word meaning a boy to
signify a servant they went on to make
It bear a scornful sense. And so 'var
let' degenerated hopelessly, Just as did
'knave.' which is simply the German
'knabe,' boy."
Indisputable Evidence.
"Say, father," said little Fred, "did
you ever have nnother wife besides
mother?"
"Why. certainly not," said the father.
"How do yon happen to ask such a
question, my hoy?"
"Well, father." uonrinued the boy, "1
saw In the family liiblc that you mar
ried Anne Domini. 1SSI2. and 1 know
that wasn't mother, for her name was
Mary Parsons when she was a girl"

Not Too Pushing.
"Madam, I must congratulate you on
having such a pushing young fellow
for u husband."
"Yes; (ieoige does very well with the
fawn mower, but I have a time with
III tu about t tie baby carriage."-Balti
mure American..
WHAT COUNTS.
It Isn't the brains a man has In
his head
Or the skill that helms in his
huiltl,
it isn't the books he has stud
led or rend
Or his fortune in money or
land
That makes a man likable, lova
ble here, .
For ninny a miser is smart. -It's
not what a brother can do
we hold dear,
But just what he Is in bis
heart.
It isn't the wonderful heights he
has scaled,
It isn't the medals he wears,
It Isn't the fact that by many
he's hailed
With applause for the deeds
that ho dares
That makes n man welcome
whoWver he goes.
A leader, unniourned, niny de
part. For the thing men revere isn't
glory that shows,
But the glory that's hid in the
heart.
