DISOBEDIENCE OF LAW AND
NEGLECT OF DUTY.
The Guard has no personal interest
in the matter of making Batesville a
closed town on Sundays, and neither
advocates nor criticises the “lid.”
Those who think will not construe the
Guard as being in either attitude.
The Guard is for Batesville and
what Batesville people feel that they
need and want. If it is a good thing
for Batesville to maintain a Sunday
“lid,” then the Guard is for it. If the
“lid” is a bad thing and defective and
something not desired by the people
in its complete application, then the
Guard is still for the people.
It remains to be seen what the ef
fects of the Sunday closing of every
thing in Batesville will be, and wheth
er the people of the town shall adapt
themselves to the strict requirements
of this law. Law is law, passed by
lawmakers in whom the people have
vested their confidence and clothed
with authority, and there rests the ne
cessity of the people either obeying
what they have made or themselves
or create a remedy for something
they have and do not want.
But there is something the Guard
■tamie for strictly, a condition that is
noticeably prominent by reason of its
absence—a weedless and perfectly
sanitary town.
On the law books of Batesville is
a plain ordinance which requires every
citisen to have the weeds about his
home mowed down and destroyed and
his premises in general kept clear of
obnoxious trash, etc., which breed
gorma and pestilence and render the
town anything but an example of
civic attractiveness. There are some
places whore neglect of duty and dis
obedience of the law have made
Batesville little less than an eye-sore.
This, of course, is not general over
. the city, because there are many who
have neglected neither.
We believe that if the hand of the
law is strong enough to enforce a
.Sunday dosing law, it should be
strong enough to enforce a law that
Is of much greater importance to the
people of the town.
We are not picking flaws. We are
pointing out a duty. And when the
health of our citizens and the civic

THE VAMPIRE.
A fool there was and he made his
prayer
(Even as you and I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of
hair
(We called her the woman who did
not care)
But the fool he called her his lady
fair.
Oh, the years we waste and the tears
we waste
And the work of our head and hand,
Belong to the woman who did not
know
(And now we know she never could
know)
And did not understand.
A fool there was and his goods he
spent
(Even as you and I!)
Honor and faith and a sure intent
(And it wasn’t the least what the
lady meant)
But a fool must follow his natural
bent,
(Even as you and I!)
Oh, the toil we lost and the spoil we
lost,
And the excellent things we planned,
Belong to the woman who didn’t know
why
(And now we know that she never
knew why)
And did not understand.
The fool was stripped to his foolish
hide
(Even as you and I!)
Which she might have seen when she
threw him aside—
(But it wasn’t on record the lady
tried)
So some of him lived but the most of
him died,
(Even as you and I!)
But it isn’t' the shame and it isn’t the
blame
That stings like a white-hot brand—
It’s coming to know that she never
knew why
(Seeing at last she could never know
why)
And never could understand.
—Rudyard Kipling.

erature is baaed the great drama, “A
Fool There Was," which will be
shown at the Gem Tuesday night.)

IN MEMORY OF MOTHER.
It is over. The last shovelful of
earth Is being thrown upon the cas
ket. Many tears are being shed. But
they are among the last that will be
shed for you, mother. Your children
think now that it will be impossible
to live without you. But they will
live. Oh, yes, and in a short time
you will be in a measure forgotten.
Their sorrow is not like yours,
dear mother. Had it been your child
instead of yourself your heart would
pine in sorrow until you reached your
last resting place. Their sorrow is
great, but yours would have been
greater. Their love for you is exces
sive, but the brightness of' yours
would have dimmed theirs.
Yes, mother, you are at rest. Those
wrinkled hands that have often sooth
ed the fevered brow are folded peace
fully together. The wrinkled fore
head each line of which was caused
by worrying for the dear ones, is at
peace at last. Those tender eyes so
often dimmed with tears at the de
parture of a loved one, or bright with
joy at his return, are closed forever.
You are indeed at rest.
* Like a great boulder dropped into a
mighty sea, you have passed into your
eternal resting place, leaving only a
few bubbles and a circle of ripples be
hind you. But unlike the boulder, the
aftermath of your beautiful character
shall ripple forever.
A powerful and despotic king is
feared by all his subjects; but that
fear of him dies with him. Not so
with you. Your gentle love is eternal.
His name and deeds are recorded in
history. Many read and remember
his deeds with horror and disgust.
You have no place in history, for
you need none. Your life is being
actually lived again.
How sadly we often speak of the
soldiers who die so willingly for their
country. Yet how many of their
names appear in history? Need I add
—what of their mothers?
You are gone and you shall soon be
quite forgotten, but you shall live,
oh, mother. You were one of the true
mothers and your influence will en
dure as long as eternity.
Your sturdy sons, whose wonderful
good Influences are being left by their
fellow men, trace their good traits
back to you. With the great Lincoln
how many others Bright say, “If there
to anything good in me I owe it to my
mother.”
Your daughters haw inherited
these motherly instincts from you
which will help their husbands as well
ax their children in a path of right
eousness. .
Although you have never had the
direct right to use the ballot, you,
with a number of vour kind, were the
power behind the throne.
Oh, mother, whatever purity there
is in the world was implanted there
by you. Whatever charity may be
found in the world was instilled by
mother's love. Indeed whatever good
may be found in the whole universe to
the result of your having lived, oh,
great soldiers of God—Mothers?—
Exchange.
