Mother*’ Day. Sunday, May 11th, will bo Mother’s Day. The observance of this day is a very pretty custom that was begun several years ago by a prominent gen tleman. On that day sons and daugh ters should wear a white rose in honor of the noblest of women—Mother. It was Mother who watched and prayed . in the still hours of the night over the crib in which lay a tiny form It was Mother who smoothed away the can s of childhood. It was mother who de nied herself of things in order that her child could have the same advantages ' M other children It was Mother who , instilled Into tjle cNM ths matlnrts that make the gentle-man knd the gentle- 'woman. And It was Mother, who. when the child accmeyl to falter from the right [nth. brought him or her bav. k ♦with her prayers and unquestioning faith.

Wolfe, of North, writes as follows in regard to raising ducks: I am much interested in raising In dian runner ducks. The penciled fawn or English standard, as it is also called, is said to be the greatest layer on earth of large, white eggs. The eggs are mild in flavor, and when prepared for table are as dainty as hen eggs. The ducks lay almost the year round, and their food' is neither expensive nor troublesome. The Indian runner is a great forager but will bear confinement well. A Village Enigma By M.

So be careful, friends If you should see a broken wire, report it at once to the city electrician, who will repair the damage at once. A.

These ducks thrive without pond or stream, requiring just sufficient water to immerse the head above the eyes. They are subject to few ailments, such as sore head, roup and cholera, and rarely are they troubled with lice or mites, as they are mostly nonsitters. They require no housing except a low shed with dry floor. Their nature is to be very watchful, and at night will sound an alarm if a dog or thief comes about. Their lively nature, graceful bodies, pretty markings and interesting habits, make them very attractive. The won derful number of eggs they lay make them valuable. I have bT) young ones taken from an incubator today and they are a lovely sight. Much has been written about this breed of duck, it is surprising how little is practically knuwu about them. Com paratively few are engaged in raising them. h rum one or two settings of eggs pro cured in the spring, a good start can be had, and the ducks will begin to lay m six or eight months —- • — More Sin*H White Farmer* the Hope of the South.

To make the rural South a great dem ocracy of thrifty, home-owning small white farmers—this is our only hope of becoming a permanently great and forceful section. And the success of education, co-operation, and equal leg islation in the South is largely wrapped up with this very matter of getting a greater proportion of independent small farmers, each man sitting under his own vine and fig tree.—The Pro gressive Farmer. It iru* three years afti^r Mrs. An drew Wakefield tieeniue a widow that tilings began to happen to dlaturh the jieace of mind of the town of Hooper- vllle. Mr. Wakefield had been a man without ambition or energy and addict ed to Intoxicant*, and the iiiaiu sup port of the couple had been the earn ings of the wife with her needle. Mr. Wakefield sometimes complained because he was not met on even terms by the the liest citizens, but the wife never complained of her lot. If she expected a merchant's wife to associ ate with her dressmaker on terms of equality she never gave utterance to that fact. And never, that any one could recall, did she ask to be consider ed a martyr or find fault with her husband. When other wives told her what they Would do In such a ease she sometimes smiled, but never com plained. After trying for years to make her out people decided that she was an enigma. "And what in the name of cats ls> that?" asked good old Deacon Peters of his wife when she applied the term. "Why. Moses, don't you know what an enigma Is?" "They've invented so many darned things in the last few years that I'm all mixed up " "An enigma is a thing you don't un deis'and " ■'W aal, is Mrs. Wakefield an enigma V" "Folks sa \ so.** "Mobile she is.
