And when you're tired •of roving there'll be time enough to 'rest.

THE MOTHER JOB
It really isn't hard to be a mother,
There really isn't very much to do,
'The days are just exactly like each
other—
You simply shut your eyes and
wander through.
For 6 o'lock is time enough for
rising,
And getting all the children wash-
ed and dressed,
And breakfast cooked it really is
surprising,
But mothers never seem to need
a rest.
The lunches must be packed and
jackets rounded,
And everybody soothed and sent
to school.
To say that mother rushes is un-
founded—
She's nothing more to manage, as
a rule.

GIVE US MEN
God give us men,
Men from every rank—
Fresh and free and frank,
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading,
Men of noble breeding,
Men of faith, and not of faction,
Mea of lofty aim and action;
Give men—I say again—.
Give us then.
Give us men,
Strong and stalwart ones,
Men whom highest hopes inspire,
Men whom purest honor fire,
Men who trample self beneath them,
Men who malee their country wreath
thein,
As her noble sons,
Worthy of their sires;
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others;
Give us men—I say again,
Just such men.

were a 'sad and dejected -looking

morning hours. Sad and wiser prob-
ably; they kept their own' counsel, but
clung tp the new doctrines they had
imbibed and remained separate from
other religious societies in many in-
dividual cases 'for several years.
During the heat of this religious re-
vival a number of fanatical ncidents
occurred. One may be taken as an
illustration. It was told of one man,
a Government official, that, believing
he could fly away from this mundane
sphere, he wrapped an ordinary sheet
around himself, climbed to the roof
and started, but landed an the ground.
Suffering no bad effects, he tried it
a second time, but, falling once more,
he broke one of his arms. That was
his last trial at transmigration of his
body.
Mr. Brown made his exit as quiet-
ly as possible and so far as I know
"ne'er was heard of after." His fol-
lowers, good people, were fru many
cases financially crippled, but ap-
parently without a murmur they
settled down to making good their
losses. Kind neighbours helped with
the gift of a calf, a sheep, a little
pig, a few hens, etc., and the breaches
in the community were healed.

implicitly believed in his teachings.
There was probably much that was
good in his early sermons, but as he
developed his doctrines he was still
able to hold the people and led them
to make many sacrifices. As all ma-
terial things were to be destroyed by
fire in the purification process he
advised the farmers to sell them, in-
cluding their livestock, deposit the
proceeds with him and he promised to
send all money entrusted to his care
to be deposited in a huge fire -proof
vault in Washington, D.C., where it
would be kept safely for them.
With what amounts he was trusted
no one knew and when it was all
over there were few who would talk
to outsiders about the crazy but, to
some, the plausible plan of a sincere
man.
There were some doubters even
among the elect. One wealthy farmer
had intended to build a new house
in 1874 but decided to wait until 1875
and explained 'his ,decision,in these
words: "Well, I suppose the people
will laugh at me for not building this
year, but I shall wait until neat year
anyway." And wait he did.
But events began to move rapidly
and the supposed last day approach-
ed. A great union meeting was •plan-
ned for Listowel with two services,
one in the afternoon and the other
at night. During the first, Mr. Brown
told his congregation that 'he still
believed it was the appointed day for
the end of all things and in the night
service' he claimed that he had gone
over the prophecies once more and he
found no reason to change his mind.
Midnight was the hour set for the
HUMOR IN YOUR PICTURES
He just couldn't quite make it. Humorous shots such as this add spice
to your album—plenty of chances for them occur in any home.
(
TUMOROUS pictures are quite
rare—and perhaps that is the
very reason they have such lasting
appeal. If you want snapshots in
your album that will never grow
old, then keep your eyes open for
picture chances that tickle your
funnybone.
There are plenty of such oppor-
tunities, particularly around homes
that have children -which is not to
say, 0f eonrse, that grown-ups don't
have their absurd moments too.
And if you stay alert for such mo-
ments, with your, camera loaded
and placed where you can get it
readily, you'll likely garner some
mach -prized shots for your album.
Sometimes, It's true, you'll have
to re-enact things to get your pic-
ture. For example, when you find
Johnny has been raiding the cookie -
jar again, just let him demonstrate,
how he did it, for the camera—and
his guilty look will give you a pic-
ture that takes high rank 111 your
collection.
When the youngest member of
thefamily gathers his toys and tod-
dles off to bed, finds he can't quite
make the grade, and drops off to
sleep half In bed and half out—
then you have another picture op-
portunity well worth seizing. Such
a shot, so conic yet so heart-warm-
ing, holds more appeal than a hand-
ful of routine snaps.
Some situations merit a picture
but the circumstances don't recom-
mend taking It immediately. For
example, when Daddy goes to hang
a picture, but hammers his thumb
instead. In such a case, just wait
until things cool down a bit—then
shoot a picture of him blowing on
the Injured member, with the ham-
mer and stepladder in the imme-
diate background.
It's fun to think up ideas for hu-
morous pictures. Recall ' funny
things that have happened in the
past—then re-enact thein for the
camera. These shots lend spice to
your album — they'll give extra
pleasure to you and your friends,
especially if you do them realisti-
cally. And meanwhile, always keep
your camera loaded and handy,
ready to picture the funny little
events that may occur almost any
time around the home.
