"The Origin, of Mother's Day
The idea of Mother's Day orig-
inated with Mfiss Anna Jarvis, of
Philadelphia, in 1906, and was cel-
ebrated in a number of American
cities in 1910,
The first national proclamation
was issued by President Wilson
on May 9, 1914, setting the second
Sunday in May as Mother's Day,
and to request the display of the
U.S. flag on governanent buildings
and private homes.. Now the day
as observed all over United States
and Canada. It has become cus-
tomary to wear a flower on that
day, for our mother, a coloured
one if she is alive and a white one
if she is dead.
"Mother" has been a favourite
swbject for writers at aN times.
Here are a few quotations that
famous men have sent down
through the. ages.
The Mother's heart is the child's
schoolroom,
--Henry Ward Beecher,.
Sweet sound to mortal graven
Are heard in Mother, Home and
Heaven,
William Goldsmith Brown
Men are what their mother's
make them.—Ernmerson
The future destiny of a child is
always the work of the moth-
er. --Napoleon Bonaparte.

To me, poems learned in my
childhood are like old friends,
I Bike to visit them, once in a
while and renew old acquaintn-
ces. My greater knowledge and
experience, gives them depth and
meaning that quite escaped me
when I learned them, under pro-
test, years ago.
How long ago is it since you
visited this "old mother?" Not
since your "Third class Reader"
days, . I imagine, which is more
years than most of us wish to
t:hi.nk.
Somebody's Mother
The woman was old, and rag-
ged, and gray,
And bent with, the chill of the
winter's day;
The street was wet with a re-
cent snow,
And the waanan''s feet were ag-
ed and slow.
She stood at the crossing, and
waited long, Alone, •uncared for,
amid the throng of human beings
who passed her by, Nor heeded
the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter
and shout, Glad in the freedom
of "school let out," Came the boys
like a flock of sheep, Hailing the
snorw, piled white and deep. Past
the women so old and gray Has -
tended the children on their way;
Nor offered a helping hand to her,
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the
horse's feet Should •knock her
down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry
troop—The gayest laddie of all
the group; He paused beside her
and whispered low: "I'll help you
across if you wish to go:" Her
aged :hand on his strong young
arm She placed, and so, without
hurt or harm, He guided the trem-
bling feet along, Proud that his
own were firm and strong. Then
back to his friends again he went,
His young heart happy and well
content. "She's somebody's anoth-
er, boys you know, For all she's
aged, and poor and slow; And I
hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother you under-
stand, If ever she's poor, and old,
and gray, When her own dear boy
is far away. And "somebody's
mother bowed Tow her head In
her home that night, and the
prayer she said Was, "God be kind
to the noble boy, Who is some-
body's son, and pride and joy."
Our "Mother of the Week"
A few weeks ago this column
chose to mention a local school
teacher in tribute to her long
years of service to the commun-
ity. Today we wish to bring an-
other name to your attention.
What could be more fitting than
to nanne Mrs. Thomas Meyers, our
"Mother of the week"? We did
not choose this name because of
the length of time that she has
been a mother, but for the num-
ber of times she has been a moth-
er. She has but three daughters
you say? Rather she can name
her children by the score.
So few of you are aware, I am
sure, that Mrs. Meyer's hone is
the only receiving centre for the
