The latter condition la of recent date,
however, and It waa only laat week
that he donned the flrat ready-made
suit which had ever graced or, as he
considered, disgraced his wardrobe.
He called his mother and alstera into
the room, after getting into It, ana ,
turned nervously around before them, j
"Doe It fit decently?" he queried, In
an agony of doubt. "Why-y-y, wha'i
the matter? Oh, yes; a tag. I suppose
all this sort of clothing la tagged, lan'l
It?"
Never before, surely, were garment
tagged aa were those, however; ther
a tag on the hem of each trouset
leg, one upon the left coat-tall, and
another on the vest front, and sttl
another on the aleeve. Even when h
bade them good-by, ater waiting im
patiently while all the visible Ulta ol

called 1dm back to remove still another,
The result was that he finally reached

his Inward uncertainty about that suit
made him glower ao that ahe said noth

before he ga thered courage to apeak ol
the subject himeelf.
"How do you like my new clothes?"
he asked at last, with what calmness
r, could muster, and the girl blushed
nervously.
"They're quite pretty, I think," sh
said, with an apologetic amlle, "but "
"I don't know whether they fit m
very well or not," he Interrupted, des
perate with the fear that she had di
vided the secret of their origin, "for 1

wildly, aa he aaw the light of a dawn

"Nothing," ahe responded, solemnly,

the term. It represents four squares

which was the wealthiest and most

resent the Senecaa, the Mohawks, the
Cuyugas and the Oneldas. Later the
Tuscaroras joined the confederacy, and
they became known as the Six Na

the universal paean to the inolher has

of quotations there are tliirty-s!x which
glorify the mother, while not a single
