PAYING THE PIPER.

Penalties Woman Has to Endure for Be-
Ing Too Clever.
To my mind, the clever woman, even
though she may not specially admire
the kind of gifts which she possesses,
should say the same. She may some
times feel as if the misapprehension,
the disapproval, the cold, unsympa-
thetic glances which she has to bear
are too heavy price to pay for the
powers which she can bring into play
the pleasures which are as sealed
book to most of her companions; but
she should bravely make. up her mind
that those powers were given to her to
use, not to cast aside, and that the pain
which comes to her through the using
of them is a pain which she must be
willing to bear. If it is to be escaped,
it must be escaped fairly-by that quiet
yet resolute exercise of all her faculties
which must in time, think, win over
the distrustful-not by the Sinking of
part of her duty.
Perhaps some people may think it q
mistake to urge upon any one the
abandonment Of the highest ideal-the
following out of his own particular
bent, instead of the pursuit of ideal ex-
celience. Certainly the doctrine may
do harm, if pushed to an extreme, but
what doctrine is there of which the
same may not be saidP Surely there is
q middle course between foolish disre-
gard Of the opinions and tastes of 9TH
ers, and that nervous shrinking from
anything which may call forth comment
and ridioule, which tends to make this
civilized life Of ours so common place
and monotonous. Surely protest
against the latter is to the full as neces-
sary for the ordinary run of people as
is protest against the other.-dn the

finely educated, good speaker and an excellent
mixer as his wel-remembered canvass for the
governorship attests. His presence in the pre-
siding chair in the State Senate will be a ma
terial help to the Republicans. Hoosier Demo
Gratis are badly split up. The plank in their
State platform which bears upon the tariff ques
ton is unsatisfactory and the liquor plank
pleases neither the temperance nor the liquor
men. Meanwhile the Republicans are going
along together in harmony. But 1t will take
brilliant successes of at least two sessions before
the Republicans can control the Legislature, and
the least mistake by them on the liquor questions
which. after all, is the most important issue III
that State, will destroy all hopes for years to
come. Still the hopes of the Indiana Repub-
licans are to re elect Harrison next winter, and
the hardest State fight known for years is now
about ready to begin.
