The Wife as d Manager.
Bill Arp.


The wife has a hard time anyhow,
raising flock OF children. What a world
of work she has to do and anxiety to
suffer. A l5ving m ,ther reminds me OF
an old hen scratching for her brood, and
at 'he same time watching for her chick
en- hawks. AMI some fathers remind me
Of the old rooster. who steps around and
looks at the little chicks with q paternal
pride and sometimes scratches little
himself, and If he finds worm be makes
a big to do and calls tie chickens, but
he always eats it himself before they get
there. I've no patience With d man who
struts around and boasts that be rules
his wife.
Rale IS bad word in the marriage re-
la,iori. aud obey is bad word in the mar
risge service. 1t ought to be abolished,
for it is bumiliating to the woman to say
it, 1t implies dominion on the one side
and servitude on the other. The man
should control in his sphere and the wo
man in hers. Some imes the wife has
the most sense and is the best manager,
and it is ridiculous to make such a wo.
man promise to obey him, fot she is not
going 10 do it nohow. There Was time
under the OH Eoglish Law when a woman
lost not only her name by marriage, but
lost her legal existence. Size had moth.

A TINY SHOE.

They found him BY the roadside dad,
A ragged tramp unknown;
His face upturned in mute despair,
His helpless arms out thrown.
The lark above him sang song
Of greeting to the day.
The breeas bew fresh and sweet and stirred
His hair in wanton play.
They found no clue to home or name,
But tied with ribbon blue
They found package, and"it held
A baby,s tiny shce
Half worn and old. button off,
It seemed sacred thing;
With reverence they wrapped it close
And tied the faded string;
And laid it on the peaceful breast
That kept tie secret WELT
And God will know and understand
The story it will tell
OF happy time and peaceful home
That dead tramp sometime knew,
Whose only relic left him was
The baby's tiny shoe.

Somerville Journal.

The minister had preached sermon
Gu "Sacriace," in which he urged the
benefit of giving up some cherished
pleasure for the cause Of religion. Little
Tommy had listened thoughtfully, and.
his mother thought she would 6nd out
how deep ali Impression the sermon hsd
made. "Don't you think, Tommy" said
she, "that you would feel better II you
were to give up some cherished delight
some pleasure that you value, in good
cause ?" "Yes," said Tommy. II think

1t is said in justification of payment of
taxes In coupons, that man has lofty
moral right to pay his taxes that way;
a right based On the fact that he holds the
States evidence of debt and should offset
its claim against him with it. If he is a
bondholder, if he ever loaned the State of
Virginia 800 and has Ter bond forsthe
amount, his tender of the coupons has a
semblance of right. How many coupon
tax payers can base their claim on that
possession think you ? How many Vir-
ginians are original holders of her bonds

bonds but buy coupons for taxes are
merely doing so much work for the Eng
iish bondholders for compensation, their
compensation being the margin between
the coupon and the currency In other
words for small compensation they are
assisting outside parties and spectators
to break down a settlement which thew
themselves voted for; to make Virginia
pay money, they themselves, whether
Democrats or Republicans, have voted
that she does not owe, and forcing upon
her an additional debt of many millions of
dollars that they themselves will be taxed
hereafter to pay. The bondholder's agents

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE POLICE
AND SOCIALISTS IN CHICAGO.

BOMBS AND pEyoLvERs USED AND sIxTY-THREE
PERSONS WOUNDED OR KILLED.
In Chicago, Monday afternoon, the police
dispersed 1iotous meeting Of Socialists
Three or four persons were killed and wound
ed. On the next night meeting of Polish
and Swedish Socialists was held on the corner
of Randolph and Desplaines streets and was
first addressed by Augustus Spies the leader,
who called for Vengeance for the Socialists who
had been wounded the day before. A tele-
gram says:
Sam Fielding. socialistic Englishman,
was the next ard last speaker. He harangued
the mob in "a loud, blatant and reckless way,
and asked what was the crowd before him.
He said s'We who come here to address
you are socialists; rebels to the law. Legisla-
ton will never help you, never. Martin Faran
he tells YOU that no legislation can be had for
the workingman. Can't we find some? When
the rich man understands that it is not heal
thy to live among q lot of discontinued work
men we shall be able to get legislation, and
not before"
That the mob was in sympathy with his ut
terances was eyi1ced by the wild applause
which was accorded him. While this was
going on Capt. Bonfeld and Capt. Ward, with
nearly two hundred policemen, had been
waiting patiently in the station for the So
cialists to disperse or to commit some act of
lawlessness. When the officers who had been
sent to mingle with them returned and repor-
ted the temper of the Anarchists both captains
came to the conclusion that prompt measures
only would avert another serious riot. The

The following is the local option plank

he did not dictate it, received the vote and
influence of Senator Malone as a supper.

"For general law providing that any

Commonwealth may determine for itself,
by majority of its votes cast at special
election held for the purpose, under due
regulation. whether or not the sale of

it's limits.'
Mr.. Wise was defeated and now Gen.
Mahone writes to Capt. Heermans of
Blacksburg, under date of April 9th,
that "our political associates ought to
stand aside in this contest on local OBJ
