FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
THE STROLLER
(By E. J. White)
There is no denying the state
meat that a mother is the most
beautiful, the crowning crea
tion of an allwise Deity. The
Stroller has never been a
motlier but not for one instant
would he detract from the
glory, honor and lustre of
motherhood. It is beyond the
power of his weakness to de
scribe it as it should be—there
are too few keys on his Rem
ington No. 10. to ascribe to
Motherhood one small portion
of what the exalted position
deserves. Even language it
self is inadequate to sufficiently
extol Mother and Motherhood.
The Stroller will not even at
tempt it.
Father and Fatherhood, how
ever, constitute a wholly differ
enl proposition. Few poets
have done much to perpetuate
the memory of Father. He has
never been taken seriously. On
the other hand, he has been the
goat ever since he has been
Father. While songs galore
been composed and sung in
praise of Mother, Father has
never 'tarred in either poetry
or song. He has ever been the
“Horrible Example." When the
present generation of adults
were impressionable children
about the only lime they ever
heard Father mentioned was at
some temperance meeting
when a tattered and torn little
girl tattered and torn for the
occasion, would sing in a tat
tered and torn voice: Father.
Dear Father. Come Home With
Me Now.”
In later years Father has fig
ured in low co:i fcdy such a
"Everybody M orks But Father”
and “What’s the Matter With
Father. He’s All In,” etc. But
not once has he been honored.
“Father’s Kiss" was never seen
in either poem or song. His
breast is never advertised as a
suitable place on which to re>t
O" even lean for an instant. His
heart is supposed to be about
the size of an English walnut
and when it comes to the milk
of human kindness, he is ac
credited with being as dry as
a maverick calf.
Father is usually looked up
on as a necessary evil—a sort
of family impediment to be en
dured but beyond hope so far
a- making anything of him i
concerned. He is usually cred
ited with having married a
bove his station in life, but that
is the extent of the credit giv
en him. He is a perpetual
grievance and owes his family
an apology for existing.
In view of Father’s standing
in life, it was a delight to the
Stroller to come across the fol
lowing a few days ago from
the pen of S. M. Philips—
whoever he may be:
When you’re starting on life's
journey
From your dear old childhood
home.
Starting out to seek your for
tune
In a distant land to roam,
Leaving dear old friends and
comrades
You have known through all
your life;
' Going out to fight life’s battles
, Filled with hardships, grief
and strife;
When your friends have gath
ered ’round you
And the farweil kiss is had,
Now remember what I tell you,
Don’t forget your dear old Dad.
In that far off distant city
You will find no dear one
there
To console you when you’re
lonely,
Oh to tell you that they care;
When you write back home to
mother.
Brother Tom and Cousin Sue,
-- ^ ~~»i ■ —
Just remember there's another
Interested in you, too.
In his crude, rough way be
loves you,
Just one word will m.ik >
glad;
Now remember what 1 tell you.
Don't forget your dear old Dad.
When you’re sending little
presents
Back to friends and sweet
hearts true.
Don’t forget your dead old
daddy,
He will look for seomthing too:
You may think he does not
miss you,
Perhaps he does not care.
But your name is always
mingled
With his night and morning
prayer.
Let him know you don't for
get him,
Your neglect will make him
sad,
Now remember what I tell you.
Don't forget your dear old Dad.
For some day will come a
a message
From those dear friends hack
home,
Saying hasten, father’s dying.
And he sends for you to come.
Then your lot of grief and
sorrow
Will be lighter, I am sure,
When you know that you have
shown him
That your love for him was
pure.
When your heart with grief is
wringing,
Then my comrade you’ll he
glad
You remember?j ,vhat I fold
you—
Don’t forget your dear old Dad.
