Is a mother a person to be treated as a servant? A willing slave to pick up after you? No. A mother is a human being, own though ninny young people of today doubt this fact, our mothers have feeling and hraina as much as the rest of the world's peo ple. If, perhaps, we auk mother to let IN do some little thing nnd she says "No," (for she hns had years of ex perience to go by) we "rave." and tell how other girls go and how nice some oilier mother are to their daughters. Then mother Is too hurt to mty "No"! again for xhe might receive another railing at her daughter's hnnds, and how long those, hastily ttpoken words ring in her memory.1 The question of this ago is, "Are the mother tench j lug the daughters or nie the ditUKU ! tern tent hing the mothers?" , We surely should remember what our mother have done for int years gne and years to come, we should try to honor her at lensl once a your and this year, that day is May Teiiih.
