THE STHOLLKK
To the Secretary of the Mothers As
sociation,
Skagway, Alaska.
Dear M-adarn:—
Your kind Invitation to the Strol
ler to address your association at
the next regular meeting was duly
received and he greatly regrets his
Inability to accept the same, his
annual pass over the railroad hav
ing expired.
By published accounts of your last
meeting, tie Stroller observes that
you classify the agea of childhood,
certain of your membeis dealing \vi li
the care of children during the first
two years, others from two to ten,
and yet others from ten to the ages
when th© parert la supposed to l>e
seen and not heard.
Had the Stroller been able to ac
cept your Invitation, he would not
have classified childhood, neither
(pronounced neyther) maturity, but
would have dealt with the subject
as covering all periods from the
cradle to the grave. For thek Strol
ler opines, after years of observa
tion, mingled with experience, that
adults are but grown up children,
physically. Mentally, many adults
are still in the long white robes of
Infancy. In fact, the Stroller has
a gauge by which he computes in
tellects, takes measures of mental
ities and estimates of capabilities
mad a careful application of this
gauge during the past thirty yea s
or more has lead him to the con
clusion that, in most eases, child
hood extends throughout life. In
many cases childish heads are
fringed with grey. In some instanc
es they are wholly bald. In the
sarlier stages we resort to sooth
ing syrups. Later on a club is more
afficlent.
Although the original author of
"Fond Mother" articles, being an
associate of "Veritas," 'Taxpayer"
smd "Old Subscriber," the Stroller
has- never been a mother, but he
wots that her lot (no reference to
real estate) is a stcrni-tossed one.
She must needs sooihe the baby
! and pacify her old man at the same
time for the same cause—wind on
tho stomach. Only in the latter
case she thinks It Is pure cussed
ness, basing her belief on what the
Bible says: "Man is prone to do
evil as the sparks to fly npward"
when it Is only that he is a grown
up child—big In form, but inflnltes
1 mal in mental development, scarcely
out of the teething ring period.
For example: You give eight
year-old Willie ten cents to Bpeud
as may seem good unto hlr.1. He
invests in cheap candy and that
night he has fits. You graciously
consent for your husband to hold
out a dollar on you. Like Willis,
he has a craving but it Is not for
candy. That night—it may be to
ward morning—there is another case
of fits in the house. A month la
ter, granting that each has the price
the same tiling will happen again,
j And that* is what mothers are up
against. Their husbands are merely
the eldest children in their families.
Ask any of the leading and influen
tial drunkards in your town and
they will tell you that the same
human trait which produced fre
quent infantile ailments in them
through too much cheap candy, now
brings about their periodical jags.
This, O ye mothers, is something
we must endeavor to combat. We
must put our heads together for the
b«tterment of the human race. That
is, of course, unless we are con
tent to have our children grow up
to be no better than their fathers,
and that thought causes the Strol
ler to shudder. He knows fathers.
Later on and when the manage
ment "comes across" with a pass
over the railroad for the current
year—when small boys are locating
swimmin' holes and grown up boys
are imbibing cooling drinks through
straws—tho Stroller may have an
opportunity for addressing your as
sociation. In the meantime, see
that the baby's bottle is scalded
daily and keep the talcum powder
handy. A Bhingle or trunkstrap
firmly anplied to Willie's pants oc
casionally may assist him in pass
ing through tlie restless spring peri
od. As for Hubby, Just struggle
along with him as you have been
doing and as you, alone, know
how. He Is a Dei-verse animal but)
l>y trumping his ace about once
a month you may still keep him j
amenable to your rule. Avoid
open warfare with him, if possible,
but between liberty and death, take j
liberty and lots of it. On this
latter subject the Stroller will eluci-1
date further when he visits Skag
way.
