a MANAGING" WOMAN.

| An End to the enlargement" 1t Last
n Her Husband Discovered.
Women with shiftless, improvident
husbands are always to be pitied. Most
of them. like poor Maria, are expected
to manage somehow. How they ever
manage at all is a mystery solved in
hours of anxious thought and care by
such unfortunate wives themselves. The
managing process is mysterious, and
full of sorrowful phases to those who
know by experience how it is done.
Maria Kittrel's husband was most inn
provident. His vexed and fretted wife
could be pardOned for saying that he
was ''wOrse than no husband at all. ="
The poor woman would say
"Lemuel, there not stick of wood. ="
"Oh. well. Marier, you must manage
somehow till we git some"
'.But there isn't bit of -four in the
house."
"Well. well, Marier. you'll have to
lowell, manage, Marier. manage"
"Wcll, there isn't bit of sugar, cof-
fac. butter, tea, or anything to eat! I'd
Just like to know what we're going to

"But how?'
Was there not cause for the sting in
Maria's voice?
''How, Marier? How?" When corn

sumed clustering air.
Eyes. hOw?" queried the angry
Maria. '.HOw can q woman manage on
nothing?''
There's different ways" said the
perplexed Lemuel.
''Tell me one." said Maria.
"Why, Marier, by--by-well. by man.

congratulate himself on having found u

On the bare table was a note from

A HipEous CRIME.
English Parent Who XIII Their Children
to Obtain the Trifing Sum for Which
They Were Insured.

English Parent, Who XIII Their Chlldren
to Obtain the Trifiing Sum for Which
They Were Insured.
A generation has passed since Tenny-
son wrote that:
A Mammonite mother kills her babe for .
burial fee,
And Timour mammon grins on pile of chill
dren's bones.
But the hideOus work of killing children
for money seems to go on just -
ever in England. The fashion now is
to insure children's lives and then de-
stroy them. SO as to get the insurance.
1t transpires that though the insurance
companies will only insure healthy
children and reject numbers of those
who apply for insurance. yet the aver
age mortality among insured children
is fifty per cent. higher than the NOR
tally among children at large, as pub
liShed in the Government reports. The
inference is acknowledgement num-
bers Of children must be murdered by
their inhuman parents for the sake Of
the trifling sum they were insured for.
What fearful revelation this gives Of
the state of society among the poor in
England! How degraded. how lost to
all sense OF Humanity, parent must be
when he or she will sacrifice the life of
u poor little child for the sake of few
miserable shillings! What conditions
of life must be required reproduce such
creatures? 1t shows how a long course
of degradation, Twin. from hand to
mouth, with no comfort in the present
and no hope for the future, will brutify
the human species. There must be an
equilibrium in all societies. If there are
people raised far above the common
level, there must be.Others depressed far
below it. The great landed proprietor
who counts his income BY the thousand
pounds day implies swarms of men
and women to whom u bellyful is a rare
occurrence. The crested duke involves
the vile. sOrdid, scrOfulous, s4ualid
baby pOisoner.
Does it not seem grOtesque mOckery
for the English to work themselves up
to 4 pitch of fury over the gates of Ilerat
and the triumph of the Tory Democracy
when their system brings forth such
fruits as wholesale system of baby
murder under their own noses? Where
can such things end? To what must
they lead? The British papers urge the
authorities to take rigorous measures to
suppress this new form of crime. "
They forget that the baby-kilEers are
merely the outward and visible sign Of
an inward and spiritual rottenness.
which has eaten deep into the bone and
fiber and blood and sinew of the poor
people of England. Furnishing MUIR
derer here and there will not stop the evil.
1t will not cure the cause Of the disease
twill not touch the source of the wrong.
The father who kills his child for three
or four pounds is, of course. a hideotss
criminal, for whom hanging is too kind.
But what produces such fathers? Whist
engenders the virus of which baby-kill
ing is an outward symptome That is
what it concerns English statesmen to
find out and remedy if they can. Until
they do, they had better not trouble their
heads about the delimitation of frontiers
in Asia or fallals about Conservative
Cabinets in England.-San Fsancsscs

MONEY-MAKING OSAGES-
How One IndiAn Tribe became Millf00-
aireSs

How One Iniian Tribe Became Millf0n-
A good many years ago the Usage
tribe Of Indians was in kentucky. The
whites came along and wanted their
lands. The government said to the
Osages: Go over in Illinois. and we'll
give you land there for $3.50 an acre
and pay you SO for your Kentucky land ~
The Indians had to go. Before long
the whites caught up with them, and
the story was: go over to Missouri,
and we'll give you land for $50 per
acre and pay you $40 for this" They
went. The AK of the white man was
soon heard. and again the story went:
go over to Kansas, and we'll give you
land for 1925. and pay YOU Sl5fOr this"
'.Great Scott said the Usage chiefs, or
whatever the Usage for that mild expie-
tive u.s. -we'n keep moving as long as
YOU Hke at this rate" So over to Kan
sas they went. Here they staid few
years, and at last the government said:
''See here, we can't go on doing this.
Well have to put YOU over in the. In
dian Territory. where we'll give you
land for nothing and will pay you SlS
en- acre for this" 1t is easy to. suppose
that the Osages went. and there they
are to day. But this isn't ALI the. story.
There are to-day just 267 Osages.- They
have in bank a great sum of money
which makes them the richest Indians
in the country. and not only that, they
have IN the Indian Territory a tract Of
rich land that is as, large as Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Delaware combined, and as fertile as
the Garden of Eden. This land the
.'castle kings" have got hold Of BY pay
ing the chiefs small sum, for TIE bar
gain and receiving lease in retsun at q
lower rate. The young Osagss think
this rather haza: lines, but they have
got 50 much money that they dbn't need
- grumble; in fact. many people will
wish they wersO sages when. they read.

SUMMER EVENING.

Low sinks the sun toward the pcarly west.

Upon thcpil!owy clouds to md 2 rest,
Casting meanwhile, upon HIS broad empire
A bounteous largess Of ethereal nre.
As If afraid to break the quiet mood
Which gives to passing day SO much of worth
When bashful night is by its sweetness
And Nature seems most trustfully to lie
Upon the breast Of Loves serenity.
The foliage takes a fairer. brighter hue,
The fields appear more greenly velvet
The sky's far vista shows a richer blue.
The fading hills with deeper purple
And every flower of every shade and tone
Now gem-like sparkles on its vernai throne
More fragrant, too is their rcspir'd breath
Drank at their fount; ESCAPED from scorching
Odorous praise flows from their native

Who built the heavens, yet hears earth

The birds are warbling soft, melodious notes.
AS though they sang requiem for tho day.
The lowing bass of cattle sluggish foatS
Upon the Silly air. as DER the bay
A ship, becalmed. moves placidly along.
Or from the hills returns the shepherds

Homeward the rocks in solemn state pro-

Their noisy morning cav no longer heard:
The cowboys whistle rippleS DER the mead,
With paceas idle as his drOwsy herd:
And distant voices of the children seem
Like waking echoes of youthful dream.
The eager mowers, with protracted toll,
Still ply their whirring scythes upon the
fastening to gather what generous soil.
For future need, a fragrant harvest yields;
Yet languidly and slow the strokes am made.
Their strong arms weary of the heavy blade
The bees. oppressed by lab RS sweet reward,
Now seek again their many-storied hives;
While close at hand a chirper in the sward
To swell the failing chorus bravely strives;
And louder-voiced the cOrncrake halls the
night
Or calls its mate to share in loves delight.
Feebly the cocks last challenge greets the
Answered from roost to roost; across the

The cnckoo's call comes singing full and

Telling its lonely, undomestic tale:
A thousand things Numerous vespers raise
A joyous anthem of seductive praise.
Does not the spell, thus working its wide
charm
On all the creatures of this active world.
Reach Him who rules them with an iron arm,
Who over all His banner hath unfurled?
Is He alone unmOved by that which moves
Obedient nature in sabbatic grOovcs2

WALKING HORSES.
A Gait Which Should he Cultivated for tho
Benefit of Farmers.

A Gait Which Should BE Cultivated for tho
Benefit of Farmers.
Fairs are called agricultural and me-
chanical fairs. and are supposed to be
largely in the interests of farmers. It
is the farmers that provide the articles
that make up the'shOws, and it is they
who pay large part of the gate money
and make up the crowds. But is it not
true that hOrsemen play q very import
ant part in the management and con-
troll of these fairs? The farmer is GER
tainly interested in the development and
improvement of the horse; but the i'm
prOvementh he should seek to make is not
that which the average hOrseman en-
deavors to make. The latter is mainly
interested in getting horses to run, trot
or pace q mile in the quickest time pos
sible. While it is well that speed in
these gaits be developed. yet they alto
gether are of less importance in prac-
teal life than speed in walking. The
fast runner is needed only in cases Of
distress o. danger; the fast trotter or
PAGER Is prominently pleasure horse;
the fast walker is the horse for business
on the country roads, the city streets
and the farm. A horse that will walk a
mile inside of twelve minutes is of more
practical value to a farmer than one
that can trot mile in 2:40. The differ
encc between y slow and fast walking
team on farm makes the difference be.

day or two; cultivating six acres II corn

twelve; going to town five miles away in
one hour or taking two for it. But how
much pains do the fair associations take
to develop this gait in horses by estab-
fishing walking races and giving pre-
miumss If the farmers would serve
their own interests and rake these agri.

IMITATION CREAMERY.

COunterfciterx of Butter Should He Placed
In the Same Category With Counterfeit
crs of Money.
What puzzles us is that every man or
woman who makes pound of butter
for sale should not be SO incensed at the
audacity of those who handle the bogus
butter that they should fail to make
their indignation known and felt in
every Legislative hall in the nation. If
one single individual becomes q great
depredator upon the rights of a COM
munity or even the rights of an indvid-
ual member of a community. there is
usually great Indignation manifested.
A horse thief soon finds himself in the
tolls. A cOunterfeiter of money is hunt
ed down like wild beast of the forest.
But the c0unterfeiters of butter are
permitted to carry On their business
year after year. producing AZ article of
diet that is not tit to lie eaten, and doing
4 vast injury to the honest producer,
while hundreds OF butter makers make
no remOnstrance whatever. In the re-
port of the Boston markets. Limitation

is mOnstrous fraud upon the very face
of the business openly perpetrated. BY
what right is the word creamery"
placed upon an article that is not butter.
and that should never be used as butter?
1t is the use OF the word creamery in
this connection that always shows the
dishonest purposes of those who are
engaged in this business. The Chicago
factories-or some of them-mark their
dirty product as being different kinds
of creamery butter. They leave the
word butter of, but creamery" conveys
Just as definite an idea when found upon
butter tub as the word butter does.
Now what does limitation creamery"
mean to. the general public? 1t may
mean anything in the way of butter ex-
cept pure creamery butter or oleomar-
garine and butterine. 1t may mean to
the purchaser butter made on the farm
in imitation of creamery butter. Ger
tainiy it is not intended to convey dis
tinct idea that the product is bogus
article like counterfeit butter. As we
have msny times said. not pound of
bogus butter can be sold under its true
name. except to those whs feed the
public, as hotels or restaurants. There
is no one so poor as to be willing to huy
these mixtures for their own consump-
ton. Butter is the finest animal fat we
have. 1t is an elegant product. And
while TIE general public may not have
perfect conception Of its high char

that its equal can nsh be arti!isially

KINGSTON, ONT, November 81
Father McWilliams, who was with
Riel at his death, has returned to this
city, and says he believes Riel was
insane. and that he so informed the
government. On being asked what
he thought caused the rebellion, he
said: "Poor people we're goaded
on by capitalists, who had gone into
the northwest and secured vast ter
ritories of land around Batoucle and
Prince Albert. These capitalists,
seeing that their fortunes were not
accommodating as they desired, in.
cited these poor people, who look up
to them, to rebellion, IN the hope
that they could drive the Indians
and half breeds out of their homes
and thus secure for themselves the
lands" He added hal the govern.
ment should place detectives in the
northwest to remove what he con.
sidered the greatest curse English
and Scotch capitalists.
