The Legacy
Copyright, 1914. by Btar Company.
By ELLA AVHELLER. WILCOX.
Tbre hangs a picture on my wall;
Three leafless trees; dead woods beyond;
- Brown grasses and a marshy pond;
And over all
An amber sunset of late Fall.
Too frail the artist heart to cope
With all the stern demands of fame,
He passed before he won a name
Or gained his hope
To realms where dreams have larger scope.
Yet In the modest little square
Of canvas that I dally see
He left a legacy to me
Of something rare -
Far more than what is painted there.
For tree and grass and sunsrt sky
Hold subtler quality than art; (
It Is the painter's pulsing heart
That seems to cry,
"I loved these things they , cannot die."
And so they live, to stir and move
Each gazer's soul, because they speak
Of something mightier than technique;
They live to' prove
The Immortality of love.
They speak this message day by day:
"Love, love your work, or small or great;
Love, love, and leave the rest to fate.
For love will stay
When all things else have passed away."
Only Her Mother
By GARRETT P. SERVTSS.
fcrr J J
From the day a mother Insists on her
baby daughter taking a 'dose of bitter
medicine till the girl reaches years of
understanding and know the mediclns
la good for her,
there are . times
when the most in
dulgent of mothers
are misunderstood
tTnd criticised and
their motlvea ques
tioned.. .This is serious
enough , when the .
one who doubts is
the daughter, but
when youf A men ,
trilnk that the fact
that they love a
daughter gives
them right of crit-
idem of the mother, It Is enough to make,
every mother .throw her dish cloth, her
broom, her Cook stove and other emblems
of the high office she holds, into the air
and resign her position. Such criticism
is art Impudence that even love la no
apology for. Bead, for instance, what a
young man who signs himself "A Reader"
dares to say about the one person in the
orId whose motives should be above
proach or doubt: ,
."I am 25, of god habits, a church mem
ber, and am engaged to a young lady
of 20. 1 At present I am out of employment,
ana tne girl s mother found out I was
not working: and told her daughter she
did not want me to call on her on this
account Now I have been going; to see
this girl for three years, and .have al
ways been a gentleman at her house, and
-when the girl told me what her mother
said f took It pretty hard. She told me It
Broke her heart to let me know , what
her mother said to her, and that she loves
me more every day.
"Now the whole thing is this: ' Her
mother found out we were talking of get
tin married. Now don't you think it a
very ignorant thing for the mother to
UIl me she -did not want to call on her
daughter and talk of getting married Just
because) I am out of work? I still call on
the girl' and It hurts my pride, but if I
was to stay away It would nleaae th
mother and I won't do that"
Another young man, who signs himself
'J. IT, N.," also takes It for granted that
his love gives him the right to be Impu
dent. He writes:
' "I am a young man; very serious
minded, and struggling hard for a future.
I, am keeping company with a young lady
whom I love very much. She reciprocates
my love, and we are engaged. Her mother
seems to be fond of me, but she Is al
ways cautioning her daughter to be care
ful about my ability. Being that I am
serious minded, I cannot be very Jesting
at all times. Her mother's opinion is
that the one who is always Jesting will
make an Ideal husband. She misunder
stands my disposition. Her view Is be
cause I am very pensive that is a sign
of Inactivity. I have been out of work
for several weeks, but have not been
seeking work because I hope to go Into
business. , I therefore believe that the
only reason her mother objects to me Is
because I am out of work."
By all that Is holy, Isn't that reason
enough Is It to be the reward for ma-

ternity that some young roan, who hasn't
more sense than If he were born yester
day, has the right to criticise, to con
deran, to abuse? And what manner of a
girl is It who will let her lover question
the motives of the woman who bore her?
Tho first young man says he continues
to call, and it hurts his pride, but he
wont stay away because it will please the
mother. I hope the girl he thinks he
loves will read this, and show him the
door the next time he comes. Such un
fairness, suoh petUahness, such childish
ness, don't make up the manner of a
man it is good for any girl to know.
'The only reason she objects," the sec
ond man writes, ."Is because I am out of
work."
Even those who love must eat, and
when the young husband isn't earning the
bread and buttter, it means that room is
made for two more at the table of his
wife's father, a burden laid on that poor
man's shoulders often enough these days
to warrant the statement that young men
are losing all sense of Justice, self-respect
and pride. .
The parents are the ultimate sufferers,
and for this reason there should be left
to them all power to decide.

Of the ihlntt men call "success'' Defoe
never had the smallest fragment. U wits
a di-enin that was always lending him on,
but that never allowed him to cutch up.
Defoe's first purpose was to become a
clersyman, but after studyinK divinity he
made up his mind to Rive up the Idea of
entering the ministry IHfoe, with tho
frsukness that always characterised him.

making. Again tho devil was sitting
crosa-lcimi-d tor him, and he failed to the
luno of l&,O0-a pretty bin ful'.ure for
Unit time.
Now, It happens thst when a fellow ran

to this ohllKlnK snd never falling occupa

In his distress. He did not not reullm
that his scribbling ai to bring him the
Krcatest distress of his life. Pitching
Into the hlKh church party, which at the
time had the civil law on Its side, he
was arrested, tried and convicted of
"blaspheming.'
Ills ears were cut off. he was fined and
pilloried, and thrown Into Newgate prison,
where he remained for two years, during
which period the prisom r's w ife and
children were kept from starving by the
charity of a few friends.
t'pon his release from Jnil Defoe turned
his p n in the direction of fiction, ft he
could not write shout these very substan
tial gentlemen, the high churchmen, he

Of verse and prose. Including pretty
li"niiy every subject upon which It was
possible for fancy to dwell, Defoe turned
out a prodigious smount of stuff. In all
over 0 works, tig and little. But there
appears to have been nothing in It for
the author, and no wonder, for from all
accounts the writings were little better
limn commonplace a somewhat singular
fact in the light of what was to come.
While Defoe was having his grim fight
with cold and hunger, turning out volume
things-a hypocrite or n ninrtyr." Not
wishing to become either, Iefoe threw
his theology aside snd Hegan to look else
where; not, however, until he had fired
this parting shot:
Wherever (lod erects a house of prsver
The devil nlwavs builds u liiauel their:
And twill lie found uvon examination
1 he latter has the largest rongregst ion.
From the service of the Prince of Pence
Defoe turned towsrd the god of wsr. The
Mjnmouth Insurrection took plnce about
this time, and Into the romsntlc uprising
the ex-thelogue entered with burning en
thusiasm. '
Tho "bubble reputation" which he thus
sought, "even in the rsnnon's mouth,"
soon ix'tered out, and being fortunate
enough to get off without being hanged
or transported, the would-be soldier
turned. to the prarenble avocation of buy
ing and selling hosiery, but after some
seven years In the stocking and under
wear business the ex-preacher and trader
found himself In th hands of a receiver.
To be In debt In those days meant a
great real more than It does now, and
Defoe had his choice between going to
Jail or running away. He decided to run
away, and escaping from his maddened
creditors, ths bsnkrupt took to the high
sees, where, for some years, he played
the part of -merchant-adventurer, half
trader and half pirate.
After a time Defoe bobbed up again as
one of King William's bookkeepers, but
II appears that he did not keep his Job
very long, and from his place In the royal
establishment the Ill-starred gentleman
turnod to the business of brick and tile
smaxlng toll, he began thinking over his
lif. its struggles and privations. Its many
battles, snd how he had, always been
forced to fight those battles alone and
the outcome of the reflection was "Robin
son Crusoe," the lone fighter, cut Off
fr mi all hip save that which ha found In
bis own strong srm and courageous soul.
"Hoblnsoii Crusoe" is simply Daniel Defoe
tho story of the "lone hand" played by
lilin against the world.
Defoe was In his fifty-eighth year when
he wrote the book that was to make him
self immortal and to furnish for the yout'i

the generations come and go; for as the
generations pass the number of boys snd

along with that lnrrraae must come ths
enhancement of the glory of "Robinson

Q- "Is there an7 scientific basts for
the belief that oU will quiet. the waves
of the ooean In time of storm V Frank
Fittman, Ban Francisco.
A. It la known that oil haa great effect
in preventing the ersals of waves from
breaking into rough contour. Watch an
approaching- movamdnt of energy In
water. The force ralsea the water higher
as It passes, and gravity .'lowers it to
below the original level of undisturbed
surface, " ;
But the top of the mass of uplifted
water is a smooth curvo. At 'extreme
height, wind and gravitation -combine.
and the effect is to cauas at highest point
of curve of water a roughness; the water
u resits into a minute supplemental wave
or. ripple. This at once Increases and
runs along the entire length of the wave.
Water has a certain strength of
viscosity, but the wind overcomes this
quite easily and causae tho little wave
on the top of the uu-ge one to finally
break Into separate drops of water that
is foam. Now many kinds of oil have
greater viscosity than water. A thin
film will by Its greater viscosity resist
wind and prevent minute secondary
waves from forming on the top of large
swells, prevont crests breaking, and thus
overcome choppy seas.
The very ancient expression: OU on
troubled waters," is one of the few that
Is really true.
Q. "Please explain why there are no
stars intermediate between the sun and
moon and other stars. For Instance:
The sun and moon, we shall say, appears
to us the size of foot bails, while the stars
appear as pin heada Why do we see
none th slae of base balls?" Edith R.
Thomas, Sunnyvale, CaL
A. The reaaonwhy we do not see stars in
between the sun and moon and th others
in apparent size of base balls la solely on
account of the Immense distances of all
the stars. Suppose that, your gate posts
are dlbtance 1W feet from your front
door, and call the two posts the sun and
moon.
Then the nearest star known would be
5. miles away. No wonder, there are
no Intermediate objects in the sky. Be
tween the sun, our modest UtUe star,
and all others there Is a "great gulf
fixed."
One of 26,500,000,000.000 miles between It
