"mothers day.'
Sunday, May 10th is Moth-
ers' Day." Millions of men and
women in all parts of the I nit-
ed States will wear a flower on
the coat lapel or on the breast
in honor of "the best mother
that ever lived.
On that day carnations and
p; ill sirs and flowers of a dozen
other varieties by the hundreds
will be sent from the large
green houses to the smallest
towns where they will be worn
by men of all classes, bright col-
ors in honor of mothers living,
and white ones in memory of
mothers dead.
It is now some seven or eight
years since an estimable woman
of Philadelphia, conceived the

answering the many inquiries
relative to it.
Miss Jams' original idea was
that everyone should wear a
white flower on the second Sun-
day in May. but, so universal
did the custom take hold, it
was speedily found that not
enough white flowers could be
produced for the purpose.
It was then suggested by Miss
Jarvis that the white flower be
worn for mothers dead and the
colored flowers, any color, for
mothers living. At this wom-
an's suggestion therefore the
latter idea has become generally
accepted. The florists as a re-
sult are finding it easier to sup-
ply the demand. The carnation
has become most generally ac-
cepted.
As a direct result of the move-
ment so inaugurated, thousands
ol people who have wandered
into states removed from their
childhood homes, and have
mothers laid away in the village
church yard or in the cemeter-
ies of the large cities, take ad-
vantage of this day in the year
to revere the memory of their
mothers by sending a bunch of
flowers, oi1 a potted plant in
flower, to be placed upon the
grave.
As a usual thing, on "Moth
er's Day," the churches have
provided for special services and
special programs, not only those
of the city, but also of the towns
and rural districts, and while
we have not xcwived any offic-
ial notice from any of the pas-
tors or church members in
Prague that special services or
special programs will be render-
ed at any of the churches in
Prague for this occasion, Sun
day. yet we are led to believe
that this matter will not be
overlooked and that such ser-
vices as befit "Mother s Hay
will be held at all of the active
churches in Prague, and that a
warm welcome will await you
at any of the churches you may
elect to attend.
DIVISION POINT.
Station Agent Gripe is in re-
ceipt of the following letter from
General Manager Arthur L.
Mills, of the Ft, S. & W. K. K.
'Please take up with the citi-
zens of Prague and advise how
a service of the following kind
would suit the business men
and traveling public. To an-
nul trains Nos. 1 and 2. Hun
