LADY FRANKLIN. Whose feelings shave not
been interested, who has not looked with admira-
tion this faithful and loving wife, in the absence
of her husband?
The fifth year is rolling round since any in
formation has been received from Sir John Franklin,
but the efforts Of Lady Franklin for his rescue do
not lessen and she is at the north isles oil Scot
land, fitting out awaiting the return of the wha-
ers that visit the arctic seas, and corresponding
with various Governments Of the world, entreating
their assistance to rescue her husband and those
| who embarked with him in the Columbus voyage
| of discovery to the icy northern sea.
The feelings and pride of every American were
elevated, last spring, at the response made by our
dressed to the President OF the United States and
| that reply was caught up in England, inducing her
people to load with honor and gratitude every Amer
| lean visiting that home OF our fathers.
Anotheryea is adding to those of Sir John Frank
| Inns absence. Our Government has received ap-
plause for the conduct determinedupon by the Presi
dent and his Cabinet without evncing by action
any sincere intention to fulfil its promise, and the
| nations wish.
But the exertion of Lady Franklin does not relax
| under disappointment, or the neglect of others to
| fulfil their vows.
| against every disappointment in the unlooked-ior
| return of Sir James Ross and the whaling feet,
without any tidngs from the missing ships.
Her exertions are again devoted to other expedi-
tons to renew the search, which she is particularly
| anxious should again be made by Daviss Straits
and it is reported that she watches the setting sun,
shedding its blessed rays where her husband is and
| on that land from whose she yet anticipates a
noble effort for his deverance.
1t is also said that it Government is TO disap-
point the high expectations it has created of fitting
out national expedition, Lady Franklin, if possl-
| BILE, intends, with all the means she possesses to
visit this country and embark her all in two
schooners, proceed in search of the lost voygers.
After which shall not be astOnished ii this no.
bic woman should cross the snowy regions of the
north which her husband traversed in 1921, and on
the shores of the Arctic peril her life in search
| ing to rescue him who induced her to change her
maiden name for that OF Lady Franklin.-Nelo York

before the police for thrashing his wife. =" Did you
beat your wife said the President. g did, sir. y
1t is shameful to strike woman" Yes, Mr..
President, but have my wife's written permission
to do so, holding up a dirty paper. " When she
was my MISTRESS beat her; she promised, ii |
married her, might beat her whenever pleased,

LARGE FEET.-Some think that large feet are
ungentee, but they are convenient. person with
large feet stands better chance in a high wind
than one of small feet, as he is not so liable tC
overset. Large feet also more convenient fol
kicking rascals. On the other hand, large feet are
inconvenient on account Of the expense Of sho,
leather and stocking yarn. 1t also takes longer tC
wash large feet than small.
