Make roses grow along her way And beauty everywhere. Oh, never let her eyes be wet With tears of sorrow or regret, And never cease to care! Come, grown up children and rejoice That you can hear your mother's voice! A day for her! For you she gave Long years of love and service brave,. For you her youth was spent; There was no weight or hurt or care Too heavy for her strength to bear, She followed where you went; Her courage and her love sublime You can depend on. all the time. No day or night she set apart On which to open wide her. heart And welcome you within; There was no hour you could not be First in her thought and memory, Though skies were gray or skies were blue Not once has she forgotton you. Let every day be Mother's Day! With love and roses strew her way, And smiles of joy and pride! Come, grown up children to the - knee Where long ago you used to be And never turn aside; Or never let her eyes grow wet With tears, because her babes forget. By Edgar A.

At the close of the Sabbath evening services in town church -goers were attracted by the peculiar color of the moon which was practically covered by a veil caused by a total eclipse. The eclipse is caused by the earth passing between the sun and the moon throwing the shadow of the earth across the face of the moon. The eclipse started early in the evening and about 8.30 when the churches were closed the shadow had covered the face of the moon. The phenomena was extraordinary be- cause of its cloudy, copper color and the markings on the face of the moon being disernahle. As a rule the earth's shallow it very black. One reason given for the color and the fact that we could see it so plainly was that the noon was on the south side of the earth and the sun was shining directly an it. The eclipse was over shortly after eleven o'clock. The evening tieing fine it was a convenient excuse for star- gazers. THREE BANDS, BASEBALL TOUR- NAMENT BEING ARRANGED, „ CONCERT AT NIGHT.
