Mrs. A. T. Stewart

1 saw a paragraph in a paper the
other day to the effect that Mrs. A. T.
Stewart when she went out on her daily
walks On Fifth avenue, was followed BY
four armed policemen, ready to protect
her diamonds and herself against thieves.
The mai who wrote it evidently has
never een Mrs. Stewart. I think it
would be safe to say that one might
walk the whole length of the venue
any day in the year and not find a more
questionable and carelessly dressed
woman than the widow of the great dry
goods prince, She wears no jewelry
whatever, and she looks exactly like a
~housekeeper out for an afternoon walk.
The policeman in question was simply
the day Waterman of the Stewart pal
ace. There is q Waterman stationed in
front of the great white house on Fifth
avenue and Thirty-fourth street day and
night. One Of these watchmen usually
walks half a block behind Mrs. Stewart
when she walks up the avenue two or
three times week, and is on hand to
wait upon her and not to protect her.
She is not at all popular. But She is neither
foolish nor in her dotage. She seems
simply to have lost all interest in life:
she never was an attractive woman

"Thy Neishbor As Thyself."

The exordium of the sermon, by Rev.
Prof. Barbour, before the American
Board of Foreign Missions at Detroit,
on the text of which the words above
are a part, contains a novel and .strik-
ing thought, full of great argument and
suggestion. He said:
"Men and Brethren: In announcing

sHB MODERN 81. VALENTINE.

The FOOD old Saint, whose day We keep,
Lived In an age Of story;
when earth was young and Heaven bright,
And all things tinged with glory.

Their praises still are ringing,
And when their charms were often told
Full easy VA the singing.
Aud yet II he were now on earth,

With charms 20 richly laden.
That If the dear old Saint should Try

His tongue would falter and he'd cease,
Quite host in admiration.
And how shall I, then, really tell
What saints might fail in trying?
Her life sincere, her faith so strong,
Her friendship e'er undy1ng.

To her TN e'er be praying;
Ny patron Saint, my Valentine,

Alcohol 81 already in politics. and i

VIII not cease until the traffic In in
toEieating liquors "a prohibited by
both state and National law.
Whatever the final issue Of the
struggle, the immediate future Will
surely witness the hottest political
battle that has ever been fought.
When we consider that the cOntin-
ced existence Of q vast industry in
volving at least one billion dollars, or
one fiftieth part Of the capital Of the
country depends upon the result, Il IL
az once manifest that nothing In Our
peaceable history has paralleled the
conflict which Is upon Us
There u not q single State OF the
American Union today IN which the
people do not AZ q whole believe the
liquor question to be the most import
ant one which politically concerns
the public veal.
True. existing parties are not will
ing that this question should come to
the front. They fear and oppose the
coming giant, for they know that lie
will fashion all things anew. But
issues force themselves and will be de-
cided. And this temperance Issue
which has stalked unbidden to the
front, will not be stayed or turned
back.
The National Government Il the
great ally and protector Of alcohol I;

ton is its real stronghold, the. battle

would by no means be understood
to assert that the heroic struggles Of
the present can be suspended. On the
contrary, they are the very life aud
hope Of the cause. They very largely
restrict and do greatly reform. They
create the public opinion which will
CRYSTALLINE IN both State and National
law. The struggle In any State Is
part Of a greater one IN the nation at
large, It Is all one fight but Il is
high time that the effort which II one
In It's nature and object should con
centrate for It's natural and necessary
end. The effort which this genera
ton is making should not. because Of
misdirectiOn, fail Of that complete
success which IL so indispensable to
the future Of our land and OF the
world. There Is force enough to win
everything, and IL IL easier far TO ac-
complish bOth-tO carry the States
and the nation at large-than either
alone.
ANY amendment Of the national
Constitution, which sets the State
free to control the traffic within her
own borders, would be a great ad-
vance Until at least this Is done, the
war must 90 on. and public sentiment
Il likely 10 become mOre-rather than
less determined in dealing with the
curse OF alcohol.
