Tue HospitalitY.

True hospitality is a thing that
touches the heart, and never goes be-
yond the circle of generous impulses.
Entertainment with the true hOspitable
man means more than tue mere feeding
Of the body. 1t means an interchange
of soul gifts. Still, it should have its
laws, as all things must have laws to
govern them.
The obligation to be hospitable is a
sacred one, emphasized by every moral
code known to the world, and a prac-
teal outcome of the second great COM
maudment.
There should never be n guest in the
house whose presence requires any con-
siderable change in the domestic econ
Omy.
However much the circumstances Of
business or mutual interests may de-
mand in entertaining a stranger, he
should never be taken into the family
circle unless he is known to be wholly
worthy of place in that sanctum
sanctOrum of social life; but when once
a man is admitted to the home fireside,
be should be treated as though the
place had been his always.
The fact Of an invitation gives neither
hOst nor guest the right to be master Of
the others time, and does not require
even temporary sacrifice of ones en-
tire individuality or pursuits.
4 man should never be so much him
self as when he entertains a friend.
To stay at a friends house beyond the
time for which one is invited is to per
petrate a social robbery.
To abide uninvited in a friends house
| is as much a misdemeanOr as borrowing
/ his coat without his permission. 1t is
debasing the coin of friendship to mere
dross when man attempts TO make it
pay his hotel bill.
The fact of two men having the same
occupation and interests in life gives to
neither a social right to the others bed
and board. A travelling minister has
no more right to go uninvited to a
fellow-preacher' house than a travelling
shOp-keeper or shoemaker has to 20
uninvited to the house Of his fellow
craftsman. Men are ordained to the
ministry as preachers, teachers and
pastors, and not as private hotel
keepers.
They who go into the country in sum.
mer as uninvited guests Of their farmer
/ friends, should be rated as social
brigands, and treated accordingly.
These few social maxims are by nc
means to be taken as a complete code OI
laws. Others quite as important will
spring up out of the personal experience
OF every reader of this article, and the
Justice and equity Of all may be tested
by that infallible standard Of society
the golden rule. There can be no true
hospitality that in practice IS yIoln- eII,-
ton of this rule; and you may s"ieiS ~
rest assured that you nave gwen one ,

ready for you. I've the law on my side,
an I'd like to see the woman as could
boss mel Eh, Nancy ?"
The original OF Bill and Nancy Sykes
was surely before me. I was dazed into
silence with the sublime effrontery OF
the whole thing.
"AIorse told me-" continued the fell
low, 'NIorse told me, down at Morse
vile, how you ranted an raved an
drawed a gun on fellow, an how you
bossed your poor husband till he didn't
dare to say his soul was his own. But
I'll let you know you've got no stink of
an English sea captain to deal with now.
/ amt your husband"
This reminder led me to thank fortune
that, after all, there could be a worse
fate than mine. But 1
stood there, mute and trembling, not
knowing what to do.
"An' now see here, Miss Grey; if
you'll act civil, I'll be disposed to do the
right thing by you. don't want to
turn no woman out o. doors, for my
mother was a woman, an love an re-
spect the sex when they behave them
selves, an you'll do well to trust me; 1
tell you that. But there's the devil in
your eye, as I can see, an I guess you'd
better turn reformer, an go down 10
Californy an address the women's
rights fneetin'. Eh, Nancy ?"
Again "Nancy" grunted Eyes" and I,
in doubt as to the reality Of my own un-
derstanding, retraeed my steps to the
house and asked Ethel to go with me to
the field for a consultation with George
Mcdonald.

that he had been foully dealt with by
us, and, under that misapprehension
had made an unPremeditated assault
upon US, his son, who hadsbeen taken
prisoner by Captain Connoyer during
the day, was allowed to return to his
people to disabuse their minds in that
regard. But this did not satisfy Mox-
mox. He wanted to go himself, and
became enraged when that privilege
was denied him. He swore like a civ
ilized man, but Colonel Kelly was in
exOrable, and ordered the guard to put
the rampant chieftain in a straight
jacket. What? The great Pe-pe-mox-
mox, head chief of the WaIla Wallas,
with a name as long as that Of Alex
ander the Great, he submit to the indig-
nifty Of being bound like a dog by a
handful OF plebeian white men? He
drew his long sheath knife, and, brand
ishing it over his head with yell Of de-
fiance, made dash for liberty. But
the fates were against him, for Sam
W-d struck him on the head with
his venerable musket, aud the heartless
prosecutor Of helpless female prisoners
Of eight years before, was dead. His
attendants, witnessing the summary
disposition made of their chief, also at
tempted escape and shared no better
fate.
1 am aware that the killing Of this
noted savage was commented upon by a
class Of sentimentalists of the time in a
spirit not favorable to the volunteers,
or the people Of the Territory, and,
while l shall attempt no defense Of their
course further than the facts justify it,
| am willing to confess that 1 witnessed
his tragical end with perfect resigna-
tiOn. For, aside from the fact that he
evidently intended to draw US, by hyp-
ocritical intentions, into an ambuscade
where we might have all perished, the
inhuman part he acted in subjecting
those helpless women, captured by his
people during the Whitman massacre,
to the grossest indignities and most
heartless abuse, in disregard Of their
prayers and tears, was provocation
enough to have justified their kindred
in avenging them, even to the taking
of life.

A Poor Widows Claim.

When Mrs. Madeline Ninton Dahl
greD, few months since, presented her
protest against Woman Suffrage to the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections, she described herself as being
"alOne in the world, with minor chill
dren TO educate and considerable prop
erty interests to guard" but she mag
naniously waived any right to vote
which might seem to be based on these
considerations, prefering to trust her
moral influence over men, so much
more potent in the management of bus
iness than the direct vote, and entreat-
ing and praying Congress not to hear or
heed the prayers and entreaties of other
women, but to protect her and women
like her in their physical weakness"
Her numerous friends and admirers
will be surprised to learn from the re-
cent evidence before the Senate concern
ing her claim for S65, 900 for her hus-
band'sinventiOn( the Dahlgren gum that
she is and has been, during all these
years OF apparent wealth and luxury, "a
poor widow, - left to suffer- cher fam
lily in need" and the case has been one
Of long-continued distress and Injustice
The sympathetic Senators could not re-
sist the appeal, and for the third or
fourth time passed the bill. 1t has been
pending for several years ia the two
houses, and is probably just claim, in
the consideration Of whicn neither the
poverty nor riches of the claimant
should have any weight. But the lady
claims nothing as a right, depending al
together on moral influence" hence
the necessity for narrowing their souls
with touching pictures Of her helpless
widowhOod, poverty, and suffering. The
l lady may well believe in the potency OF
ber influence over men. Her appeal 10
the Senate committee on privileges and
/ elections seems to have formed the basis
Of their adverse report. They evidently
/ had read no other document, and believe
/ that this one woman Of fashion repre-
sented all the silent women Of the land
/ while they believed that tens Of thou
/ sands of petitioners for Woman Suffrage
represented nobody, not even them
selves. Her claim against the govern
ment has passed both houses of Con
/ gress, and is so worded that il mus
pass the Court Of Claims, to which it il
referred, so that she will soon have S65,
900 TO use in opposing the rights of othe
women WOmdB's Words.

THEODOsIA BURR.-The mystery that
for over a half century has hung over
the fate OF the beautiful TheOdosia Burr,
the daughter Of Aaron Burr, who, on
December 81, lSl2, set sail in the schooner
Patriot" from Charleston, South Caro-
limo, for New York, and was never
heard Of afterward, seems at last TO be
cleared up. 4 portrait, which there is
no reasonable doubt is the portrait Of the
unfortunate Theodosia, has been discov-
cred in the possession of an old pilot
living on the North Carolina coast Of
Kitty Hawk, now so sadly known as the
scene Of the loss Of the Huron" and the
metropolis" The story he tells CONCERN
ing his coming into its possession con-
firms the belief Of the original. He
thinks it was in the month Of January,
1913, after the severest storm be had
ever known on the coast, several wrecked
vessels we're cast ashore, one OF which
was a mail schooner, on which this por-
trait was found. The old pilot preserved
the picture on account Of its extreme
beauty. a gentleman in Washington
has now possession Of the portrait, and
another picture of the fair Theodosia
reveals a resemblance that, with the
known circumstances Of the case can
leave no further doubt as to the identity
OF the two.

Some time last winter a meeting was
held of citizens Of Philadelphia to con-
slider the need of better regulation Of
civic charities. a competent commit
tee was appointed to report a plan to
regulate charitable relief and to sup
press street begging. Recently another
large meeting was held to hear the re-
port Of this committee. 1t recommends
general board of directors to supervise
the charitable work of the city, and to
control the finances. The city will be
divided into districts, supplied with Off
ces and upeTintendents. These district
superinteudents will be in constant COM
munieatiOn with a central superintend-
eut. Thus il is expected that there will
be formed body of intelligent aud ell
cient experts, in complete mutual under
standing with each other and With all
the existing charitable societies. But
a more important body still will be a
large corps OF lady visitors, who are ex-
pected 10 exert a beneficial influence
upon the needy and worthy poor, to
guard against the habit Of leaning upon
help unduly, and by all possible means
to inspire the disheaTteued with hope
and self-reliance. This corps of women
visitors will be so large as TO put but
small number Of cases under each ones
personal care, so that the visits can be
frequent and efficient. The whole plan
relies little upon mere machinery and
paid work, but chiefly upon personal
aud sympathetic intercourse between
the needy and those who help them.

How To STOP YOUR PAPER.-Occa-
siOually, TOR some reason of a personal
or financial character, individuals wish
to stop their papers, and in most cases
they return them 10 the mail-carrier
with instructions not to deliver them
any more, thus assuming that he is the
agent Of the newspaper, which he is
not. The proper way is to call at the
publication Office, settle aIrearages, and
order the paper discontinued. When
orders to discontinue are sent by mail.
and are not regarded, the reason in
variabiy Is that there is an unpaid bal
ancei which should be settled.
