1 the cent (6) of cont Ohio, the st Crude Thoughts A Column Dedas they Fall from THE HOME CIRCLE icated to Tired the Editorial Pen. Mothers as they Join the Home ing Reveries. ning Tide. Pleasant Even- COLUMN. Circle at Eve- Are you ever discoraged, fellow man? Do you ever feel puny and poor and small.

Do you ever while doing the best we can, Get to wondering what is the use of it all? Oh isn't it pleasant in such an hour To be met by one who has cheerful ways Who approves your work and admires your power. Oh isn't it bracing to hear his praise? Does it ever lodge in your heart, friend Doubt of your worth and doubt of your wit? Does it ever appear that you've come to the end? Do you feel sometimes a longing to quit To give up the hope, to accept defeat, To sink into rest and pass out of sight? In such a dark hour, oh, isn't it sweet To be praised for your worth, your work or your might? Perhaps you met some one a moment ago Who felt, 0 friend, as you often do, Who, had you paused a fair word to bestow, Would have gained new strength and new courage too, The words of cheer and the words of praise That cost so little may have such worth; Oh, I wonder why in our selfish ways, We let each other be crushed to earth. NATURE takes on our moods; she laughs with those who laugh and weeps with those who weep. If we rejoice and are glad the very birds sing more sweetly, the woods and streams murmuring our song. But if we are sad and sorrowful a sudden gloom falls upon Nature's face; the sun shines, but not in our hearts, the birds sing but not to us.

The music of the spheres is pitched in a minor key. How quickly we Americans exhaust life. With what panting haste we pursue everything. Every American you meet seems to be late for a train. Hurry is stamped in the wrinkles of an American face.

We are men of action, we die without it; we go faster and faster as the years go by, speed over machinery to the utmost, stretch the silver cord of life until it snaps. We have not even time to die a natural death. Instead of the lingering maladies of our fathers, we drop down and die of heart disease or apoplexy. Even death has adopted our terrible gait. If we would spend a few hours each day romping with our children or ip the society of the home circle we would live longer and our children could follow in our pathway which would be plainly blazed by these hours of reereation.

THERE is no well regulated home that does not contain a mother's chair. It always has rockers, for mother, your mother and mine, always had so many troubles to soothe that rockers were a necessity. Well we remember the one in our home. It was an old chair and the rockers were almost worn out tor the chair had rocked the family. It made a creaking noise as it moved but there was music in its sound.

It was just high enough to allow us children to put our heads into mother's lap. That was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries. It was different from father's chair. You ask how? We cannot tell, but we all felt it was different. Perhaps there was about this chair more gentleness, more grief when we had done wrong.

When we were wayward father scolded, but mother cried. The chair knew all the old lullabies, and all those wordless songs which mothers sing to their children. The old chair has stopped rocking for a good many years. In many homes it has been set up in the loft or garret, but it holds a queenly power yet.

A CARD. Barbourville, Sept. 27, 1904. To the Republicans of Knox County: After mature consideration I have decided to withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination for Jailer of Knox county. My extreme age and continued ill-health have been instrumental in leading me to this determination.

However, I am not unmindful of the many promises of support my friends have avowed, and am indeed grateful for them. And to one and all I desire to express my heartfelt gratitude. Again thanking them, I am Faithfully yours, POMP MILLS. sire to congratulate you upon your Home Circle Column. It alone is worth to me many times the subscription price of the paper.

Now with your permission will make a few suggestions that I feel sure will be endorsed by the many mothers who read your Home Circle Column. I have thought much and much has been said and written about "Where is my boy to-night." As a mother who has several daughters and no boy, I would like this inquiry changed so as to read. "Where is my girl tonight." With pangs of remorse one must admit, that in our community at least, many of four girls who have good homes are on the streets seven nights in the week. They wander listlessly about, no object in view. They bring upon themselves slighting remarks from street loaters.

They gossip and flirt with young men, they would blush with shame to have enter their homes. My girls would not desire to loaf upon the streets and in the stores if others did not do so. Can we not as mothers organize, and in some manner, prevent this growing evil, that sooner or later is sure to destroy the happiness of our homes. Would it not be much better for our girls to spend their evenings at home in mental improvement, or if they prefer to meet at each others homes. Anything to keep them off the streets.

They lose the respect of all good citizens and sooner or later will lose all respect for themselves. Respectfully submitted by A MOTHER. THE HOME. "THAT only Paradise which surrounds the fall." Home is mother's province; her empire, over which she is, emphatically, "monarch of all she surveys." She has here all the essentials of happiness, and if she is skillful in the use of materials she may build a shrine tor her household gods more dear and dazzling to the heart and eve than all the storied fairies of antiquity How careful should she be, then, to mould her actions and modulate her voice in shape and tones of purest harmony! How zealously should she apply herself to make only skill and faultless notes from the complicated instrument that responds so faithfully to her touch. How consummate should be her tact in touching the key note of character in husband, children, servants, relatives and friends.

How should she attune their hearts to love and reverence her in every relationship! What delicate studies come under her observation and intuition for each day and hour of her life! How many and how precious are the ones who look to her for daily happiness, as well as for daily comforts, and how bright a spot of sunshine she may make of her circumscribed and undisputed realm! Mother, wife, daughter, sister, is it not in your power to make some one happy? Do you abandon thoughts of self sufficiently to make their happiness of more consequence than your own Do you use all your gentle arts and influences to attain an object so desirable? Then you do not have to seek your own contentment. It comes to you in the realization that there is one heart, at least, dependentent upon you for happiness. And if you realize also that the variation of a tone carries a weight, that the expression of a smile a glance, the significance of a word, an action, may make or mar the sunshine of a day for that one; and if you regard this trust more sacredly than the keeping of the most precious jewel -then you need not feel the rivalry of strange women, nor rum shops, nor any other business or pleasure. Thus the charm of your presence gladdens the spot made most holy on earth, bearing the sacred title of home. A little ad in the ADVOCATE may bring you big results.

Just a Moment, Please! Why not let The Royal Tailors of Chi-' cago make your fall suit or overcoat? When delivery is made, there will also be delivered a direct guaranty covering the quality of goods, the style and fit of the garments and the workmanship. And that guaranty is worth one hundred cents on the dollar to you. It means that you are to be satisfied with the garments when you get themsatisfied that they were madeexpressly for you, to your own measure- -and it means that they will wear well, give you good service, and hold their shape as rightly-tailored garments should. The cost of Royal tailoring is so low that you might almost think price was the first consideration. But it isn't.

Value is first. Value giving is at the basis of The Royal Tailors' success. The best for the money always--that is the Royal idea. Customers of The Royal Tailors are invited to guess how many people will attend the World's Fair at St. Louis.

They offer prizes consisting of ten Automobiles, to be given to the ten persons making the closest guesses. The cost of these Automobiles Is $13,700. There are also eight cash prizes of 6100 each, making the total value of the prizes $14,500. For every dollar you pay on an order for Royal tailoring you can make one guess; on a $15 suit you can make fifteen guesses, and on a $20 suit you can make twenty guesses, and so guess for every dollar. The Royal Tailors carry a million-dollar stock of woolenssomething sure to please everybody; suits and overcoats for men and boys--ladies' man-tailored skirts and coats--all made strictly to measure at an actual proven cash saving of fully twenty-five per cent.

But the thing to do is to see the goods and get the prices. You can do that by calling on PLANK. 8 26-4w DIED.
