TIRED, TIRED.

al am so tired" Common, every
day words, are they not? But so sad as
to have almost a pathetic ring in the
tones that voice them, as mother un-
Ties her wet apron and stOops over the
cradle to lift, for the dOzenth time in the
intervals of rubbing vigorously at the
soiled linen of the household, the rest
less baby to her knees.
"Tired." The tone of the response
betrays something of surprise, some
thing of inquiry, and something of in
credulity, as the strong, robust man
who is lifting water from the well for
his horses by means of a ponderous
windlass, poises the heavy oaken bucket
on the well-curb and glances into
the kitchen, redolent of soap-suds.
"Tired Seems to me if had moth
ing to do but stay in the house all day,
would never say tired" and the
bucket that he lifts with such ease as
has caused him to regard with uncon-
cern the plea for a pump, is left empty,
and the protector takes his way toward
the field hard by to climb, perhaps, to
his seat on the sulky plow, play idly
with his whip, keep his horses straight,
and ponder over the difference between
the physical endurance of his wife and
his grandmother. The blue eyes of the
brave little wife fill with tears as she
resolves, for the hundredth time, never
again to seek sympathy from the one
who, when care and toll were to her as
strangers, promised to Glove, cherish,
and protect" her.
$50 tired" We almost think these
the saddest of all words that ever fell
from quivering lips upon unsympathetiC
ears. Sad, even when unspoken, except
by the listless glance of WEAKNESS, the
hopeless look which so plainly speaks q
yearning for rest, and the languid step
which no word of sympathy quickens.
All over the land these weary ones live
and toll. In the great city's hurry and
moil, in the quiet seclusion of the farm
house, in the cottage by the roadside,
in factories, school-rooms, and work
shops-everywhere is this existence,
which is not life, endured-endured
"with a patience that is not hope, fol-
vain aud empty it long hath been.n
Tired, so tired of life's endless toll and
endeavor are these weary, overtasked
bodies, that the dearest of all promises
is, "He giveth His beloved sleep"
Kind words, words of sympathy, OF
appreciation and of love, will do more
to assauge and soothe this weariness-
more to quell the plaintive cry of $50
tired" than all other things combined
And, inasmuch as the labor of brain
and muscle to the point of WEAKNESS,
and even exhaustion, is performed al
the bidding of necessity, these thought
ful acts of those who walk closest to
US in life's journey are often the
only remedies for a WEAKNESS that
becomes hopeless as it becomes chronic.
Think of this, and let those who, with
constant striving for your comfort, are
$50 tired" feel and know that theiI
efforts are recognized and appreciated
See, then, how quickly the cry ot
"tired, tired" will cease.

An able article on Woman Suffrage
in the Vancouver Independent of last
week, furnishes additional proof of the
enlightened views held by large pro-
portion of the editors of Washington
Territory, to which we referred last
week. The following is the concluding
paragraph:
The signs of the times clearly indicate that
the Woman Suffrage question, instead OF grad
ually dying out, is going on steadily toward
the accomplishment OF its object.the amelio-
ration Of many unjust conditions Of society.

The power of the press, when by the
the aid of small paragraph it trans
ports persons, localities, cities, and
newspapers half way across the conti-
nent, is simply prodigious. Witness
the following from the Womdn's Jour
nal relative to the labors of Mrs. H. A.
Loughary, the able President of the
Oregon State Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton:
Mrs. H. A. Loughary, of Philomath, Ia, lee
lectured in Lafayette, Iowa, last Tuesday
evening, at the Courthouse, to large and in.
telligent audience, upon The Enfranchisemenr
of Woman The Courier OF that city speaks
very highly of her speech

The editor of the Bee assumes the
guise Of 'Paiuter" and imasines he
has "made it warm for the wouian's

If the halluciuation is at all pleasant,
let him enjoy it. The chances are that
it will fake more than one coat of
"paint" to cover his confusion before
we are through with him.
