July 19, 1865.—Approximately 150 applicatiéns for pardons were received at the office of the Attorney General today from persons residing in the Southern States or formerly residing there. Among them Were petitions from Lieut. Gen. N. B! Forrest, the famous Confederate cavalry leader; W. B. Brook, ex-Confederate Senator from Mississippi, who was also a member of the State convention that passed the Mississipp! ordinance of secession from the Union, and M.-H. Bloodgood of London, England. The only pardons granted by Presi- dent Johnson today were to “a few ob- scure individuals,” excluded from am- nesty by the thirteenth exception class of the President’s amnesty proclama- tion, according to information obtained at the White House. Since the Cavalry Corps of the Miii- tary Department of Washington has been discontinued with the mustering out of all the regiments, an order has been issued by the War Department, it was learned today, directing all officers and enlisted men heretofore on detach- ed duty with this corps to join at once their proper regiments,” unless otherwise ordered. All general and staff officers connected with the corps are ordered to proceed to their respec- tive homes, and report by letter to the Adjutant General of the Army for further instructions. ‘The 16th New York Heavy Artillery Regiment nas arrived during the last 24 hours from the Military Department of North Carolina.

My brother and myself have been supporting ourselves for years. We both hold responsible positions where we are called upon to dis- play judgment and exercise our intellect. Nevertheless we cannot express an opinion in the presence of mother without it being dissected by her, for she is firmly of the opinion that “mother knows best” about everything. Recently my brother met a fine girl with whom he fell madly in love. She would make him a splendid wife and they would be ideally happy, but the mere mention of marriage brought a deluge of tears from mother. She has no ob- jection to the girl, but cannot.bear for her little boy of 27 to break the apron strings that have bound him to her all of his life. “We have all been 30 close to each other I cannot bear to have our little world broken up,” is her continual cry. And when friends remark how lucky she is that her children are still with her she says: “They would rather be with mother than with friends their own age.” which is not true. It is not a ques- tion of money, as when our father died he left mother amply provided for. We love her very dearly and appreciate that it is only her overpowerlng love for us that makes her want to absorb us so completely, yet we are, nevertheless, THE UNHAPPY TWO. - Answer—Tt is the custom to make mother love the symbol of unselfishness, but it is just as often the most ruthlessly self-centered passion on earth. There are mothers who give all to their children and there are other mothers who sacrifice their children to themselves without a pang of compunction, without even knowing that they do it. And the curious thing is that they do it in the name of love and account it unto themselves for righteousness when they enslave their children to them and rob them of their chances of happiness and success in the world. ‘Your mother belongs to the type of woman who thinks she is a good mother because she has never had an interest nor a thought nor a pleasure outside of her children since her first baby was born, and her one idea has been to keep her children in the nursery and holding on to her hand. It never even occurs to such mothers that this monopolizing love is a curse to a child instead of a blessing, and that in their misguided affection they are doing their children a greater harm than malice itself could invent. For they are keeping their children away from the human contacts that teach them to adjust themselves to life. They are wishing upon them a perpetual baby- hood that will make them weaklings who will never have any initiative or be able to stand upon their own feet. Far, far better for a child to have no mother at all, or a neglectful mother, than to have too much mother, or an overly devoted one. These possessive mothers never really consider their children’s happiness at all. They think only of their own. It is their own pleasure they are consider- ing, the gratification of their desires, not their children’s. No woman really stupid enough to believe that her children prefer her society to that of young- sters of their own age, or' that they always want mother to go along with them when they go on any pleasure excursion, She knows that youth craves for companionship. She knows that they have a better time when she is not along. She knows that it is not their idea of & hillarious evening to have to spend it sitting up with mother or olaying games with mother. She knows that they don’t always want to be dragging mother with them wherever they go, yet she wishes herseif upon them and boasts to others about what chums she is with her children and how they prefer her society to that of youngsters of their own age. T don’t think such mothers really befool themselves into the belief that they are enough for their children as their children are enough for them. They only put up thé bluff tp save their faces and to hide from themselves the crime | they are committing against their children, We see this mother selfishness fllustrated in a thousand ways. All of us know mothers who have shut the door of opportunity in their sons’ and daugh- ters’ faces and doomed them to a poor, drab existence because they could not bear to be separated from them. I could call a long roll of bitter men and women who have been the victims of mother love, John A., whose firm wanted to send him to take charge of its office in China, but whose mother wept and clung to him and begged her darling boy not to go so far from her. And John is still a clerk at a meager salary, while the man whose mother loved him enough to put his interests before her own pleasure is now a highly paid executive in the company. Mary B, beautiful and gifted with a voice of gold, who had a chance at fame and fortune on the stage, but whose mother clung to her and would not let her go. And Mary is still teaching music in the village school. And how many, many times mother selfishness stands between her chil- dren and marriage. Mother married herself. She knew love. She had the happiness of her own home. She had the blessedness of children. But she denies all these to her children because it will take them away from her. How sardonic that the woman who has found her chief joy in life in children should be the one to withhold that happiness trom her own children! But why should children who have this kind of a mother give in to her? Why should they let her strangle them and destroy them ,with her morbid affection? They have a right to their own lives and they should refuse to be sacrificed to her selfishness. My advice to this Unhappy Two is for the young man to go on and marry his girl, and for the daughter to break away from her mother and achieve her own independence. Mother will wail and weep and beat upon her breast for a while, and then she will accept the situation and all will be well. DOROTHY DIX. MILADY BEAUTIFUL ‘BY LOIS LEEDS. NANCY PAGE Paris_ Styles Are Sent to Nancy by Martha. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, Martha's letters from Paris were be- ginning to bemoan her impending de- parture. “Of course, darling, I am glad that I soon will be back in the | States, but I surely have had a gorgeous time. made Paris famous; I have visited shops that are the last word in style and beauty, and I have purchased clothes. Waat to know about my latest pur- chase?” Of course, Nancy did, so she -turned the page of the letter and glanced avidly at the little inclosed sketch. It showed a Romanian type blouse. It was made of sheer white material, almost mull-like. The embroidery was done in cross-stitch and used the strong peasant colors. The waist was cut in a straight plece; S0 were the two sleeves in two straight pieces. Small square pieces or gussets were put in under arms to prevent the waist from drawing in under the arms. The letter went on: “I said that I had eaten food that has made Paris famous. That is why I bought the next dress which I am showing you. I have been taking plenty of exercise, so my waist is fairly small and firm, but Na- ture endowed me with large hip bones, and some of that good food has made them even firmer than Nature intended them to be. But by choosing a dress with a bolero which comes below the waistline the effect of hips is smaller, ::ilnt'e bolero hangs loosely from shcul- lers. “I learned another way to minimize large hips: Have a cape which falls be- low waistline in back and which is tied carelesslike on one shoulder.” (Copyright, 1930.)

The bigoted to truth is blind, And 50 can never change his mind. ; —Egret the Heron, Egret the Great White Heron hardly knew what to make of things. He had been shot by one.of those two-legged llers with terrible guns, .but had blamed Farmer Brown’s Boy for it You see, he thought all of those two- legged creatures were alike. As a mat- ter of fact, Farmer Brown's Boy had frightened the hunter away and so had saved Egret’s life. Then he had caught Egret and “brought him home, where he had made a comfortable pen for him in the barn. - But first of all he very carefully e; ined that wounded wing and put cine on it to help it heal. He was very gentle about it—very gentle, indeed.. Egret, believing that Farmer Brown’s Boy was responsible for his pain and fright, struck’at him whenever he got the chance and once he narrowly missed one of Fafmer Brown's Boy's eyes. Farmer Brown'’s Boy was more cautious after that.. He went down to the Smil- ing Pool and got some frogs and min- nows to feed Egret. At first Egret would not touch them, but when he thought no one was watching he swal- lowed" oné of those minnows. Right | then and there he discovered that he was hungry. Two more minriows and a | couple of small frogs went down that long white throat. He felt better then. It is curious, but true, that no matter what our troubles are, we almost always feel a little better after a good meal. Egret began to watch Farmer Brown's Boy. He discovered that Farmer Brown's_Boy was always gentle. He | always spoke in a soothing way. Egret began to change his mind. “This fellow doesn’t seem to mean me any harm,” thought he. “Perhaps he wasn't the one who caused me all this pain and trouble, anyway. I guess I won't try to bite him any more. I won't strike at him unless he gives me some real reason for doing s0.” So it happened that almost at once Egret and Farmer Brown's Boy became the best of friends, Egret would allow no one else to touch him, but Farmer Brown's Boy could do what he pleased with Egret. You see, having changed | his mind, Egret went to the other ex- | treme. He actually looked for the com- | ing of Farmer Brown's Boy. Perhaps that was because Farmer Brown's Boy seldom failed to bring him a fish or a frog_or some other tidbit. He would |let Farmer Brown's Boy examine and | dress that injured wing and never once offer to strike.
