than six millions copies of his
books have been sold; and they
have been translated into al-
most every language on earth,
including the Japanese, Esper-
anta, Czecho-Slovakian, Danish,
Norwegian, French, German,
Swedish and Russian. His pen
name was O. Henry, and he
was born about seventy years
ago.
O. Henry’s life is a striking
illustration of a man who bat-
tled against tremendous odds
and succeeded, in spite of ter-
rible handicaps.
First, he had the handicap of
very little education. He didn’t
even attend high school; and
he never saw the inside of a
college; yet today his stories
are studied as models of good
writing in half the universities
of the land.
Second, he was handicapped
by the ravages of diseases. The
doctors feared that he was go-
ing to die of consumption; so
they took him away from his
home in North Carolina, sent
him down to Texas, and he got
a job herding sheep on a ranch
there.
Today, automobile tourists
drive hundreds of miles out of
their way to see that ranch;
and as. they approach it, they
halt their cars and walk rev-
erently over the ground where
O. Henry once tended his
flocks.

MOTHER’S DAY
MAY 12
• Just a colored little flower,
In the lapel of a coat,
Worn upon a May day Sabbath,
We would have you all take
note,
Or perhaps a pure white one,
l& the flower that you wear;
But they all will cherish Mother
With us or over there.
Beauty, fresh and dainty tint-
ed,
Like the bloom of Mother
heart;
Sweet in fragrance like the
spirit
Precious Mother does impart.
Mother bonds are ever sacred;
Closer ties we’ll never know,
For the clinging love of Mother
Goes with us where’er we go.
These returns in flowers given
Are but meaningless we
know;
Rather make the flowers a
token,
Pulsing, throbbing to and fro
Of a love so rich and tender
Streaming forth as on we go;
Blessing her, protect, defend
her,
Tenderest love we now be-
stow.
—Dean C. Dutton

• This Mother’s Day, is it a question of flowers, a box
of candy, a form-letter telegram? Is it a matter of sen-
timentality, a sampling of remembrances, a short look
back and then eyes front again?
Or is it something bigger and finer, a one-day celebra-
tion of a companionship that runs through life like a fine
silver thread, an annual birthday of something that be-
gan in a whispered lullaby, and sings on through the
strings of the years?
Those mothers of ours! We like to be sentimental about
them. We like to remember what they went through for
us. how they understood us when we ourselves were at-
cross-ends, how they held their blame when we were un-
kind or unthinking. We like to season the present with
fine pictures from the past, to bring back the mood of
yesterday with a Mother’s Day remembrance.
And what of those mothers! We’ve an idea that much
as they welcome that gift, they treasure our love and
companionship more. That our “Hi’ya, Mom!” brings
more joy to them than the measured phrases of a card,
that having us near gives a room more interest than the
finest flowers, that our knock on the door is more wel-
come music than the mail-man’s ring.
Those mothers of ours! We’re mighty proud of them,
aren’t we, and whether it’s a card, a gift, or ourselves
we send on Mother’s Day, we’ve an idea they’re mighty
proud of us.
Third, he had the apparent
misfortune of being thrown in-
to prison. It happened in this
way.
After he regained his health,
O. Henry got a job as a cashier
in a bank in Austin, Texas. The
cowboys and sheep men in that
section had the habit of walk-
ing . into the bank when the
clerks were busy and helping
themselves to as much cash as
they wanted, signing a receipt
for it, and then going on about
their business.
Suddenly, one day, a state
bank examiner came to town,
inspected the bank’s cash—and
found money missing. O. Hen-
ry, the cashier, was arrested.
He was hauled into court; and
although he probably had never
taken a dishonest dollar him-
self, nevertheless he was sent
to prison for five years.
' That prison sentence seemed
like a calamity at the time;
but, in a way, it was most for-
tunate; for O. Henry began
writing, in prison, the brilliant
stories that were destined to
make his name honored and
loved wherever the English
language is spoken. It is quite
probable that he would never
have written at all if he had- \
n’t been sent to prison. 1
I was talking to Warden !
Lawes, of Sing Sing, recently; ! |
and he told me that almost )
every man in Sing Sing wants
to write the story of his life.
In fact, so many of the prison-
ers in Sing Sing want to write,
that the prison school gives

story writing. Naturally, very
few of them succeed, but never-
theless, it is a fact that many
well-known men have written
in jail.
When Richard Lovelace was '
thrown into an English prison,
two hundred and fifty years
ago, he glorified his dungeon
by writing one of the well
known poems of the English h
language. It is a love poem that
he wrote to his sweetheart. It
is entitled: To Althea from
Prison.
Stone walls do not a prison '
make,
Nor iron bars a cage,
The spotless mind, and inno-
cent,
Calls that a hermitage,
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that are above,
Enjoy such liberty.
