and superseding the senate, which should
be abolished. From this remaining body
Of presidential advisers, who should hold
office during life or good behavior, let
future presidents be chosen also by lot,
each successful state being excluded
from other drawings until all have been
represented.
We would have no vice president to
preside over defunct senate; we would
lead no man into temptation nor subject
him to suspicious OF foul practices for
the purpose Of promotion. We would
have no interregnum. for at the death of
q president his place would bo immedi-
ately supplied by lot. We would thus
place our future presidents In . high
school Of governmental science, 90 that
when they came into Office they would
know something Of their duties and be
aided by body Of able counselors rep
resenting not simply one or two, but
every section Of this great Union.
No one mans shoulders are Atlantean
enough to bear the weight Of govern
ment in o country so extensive and with
such diversified interests as ours. He
must have the assistance and approval Of
able advisers. Let the people Of the
states choose them, so that each individ-
ual state may be supported by a column
OF its own strength, erected by Its own
hands and from timber Of its own growth.
With such body, superior to the
house Of lords, because elective, we
would have government conducted by
tho states, impartial, just and beyond
the reach Of sectional prejudice-an aris-
tocratic democracy which, in the estima-
ton Of the writer, would indeed be "the
best government In the world"

As the swell girl goes down Broadway,

heard. That noise Is made by tho Inn

1t Is new freak to have our hosiery
heavily ornamented with steel beads on
the ankles aud calves. Now don't go to
suggesting that we might wear circlets
of something just above our hoofs like

''interfering." We want to interfere
with the heart of man. Many q time
have you read In novels how the frou-
frou OF dainty skirt or the swish Of
mysterious draperies have set q chap to

know that nice little assaults on the mas

that is the principle Of the climbing stock.

Mary j. Drexel Home and Mother
House OF Deaconesses, q magnificent
structure erected ON the grounds Of the
German hospital, presented by John d.
Lankenau as q memorial to his wife, the
daughter Of the late Francis NJ Drexel,
Is now ready for occupants.
The institution had its origin from the
fact that some Of the aged inmates Of the
German hospital when discharged, hav-
ing no homes to 60 to, and hav-
ing become accustomed to look on the
hospital as home, begged that they
might be permitted to remain. For some
years number Of Lutheran deaconesses,
including their superior, all from Ger
many, were In attendance upon the sick
In the hospital. They were 80 efficient
that the trustees sent to Germany for
more. They were unsuccessful in secur-
ing the sisters, inasmuch as they were
being sent to Egypt, Asia Minor and the
Holy Land, where mother houses had
been established for years. The trustees
determined to establish a mother house Of
their own. Mr.. Lankenau then built the
edifice and presented 1t to the trustees.
A mother house being necessarily re-
ligious institution, the east wing is given
to the sisters and the west wing to the
aged.
The new building was begun in Sep
tember, 1886, and the corner stone laid
in November, 1887. The structure fronts
25O feet on Girard avenue. Between the
two wings Is an open court l2D by lac
feet. The main entrance Is IL tie center
Of the Girard avenue front. Tho ma
terial used is brick and Stone of u light
tint. The wings are three stories high
and each wing contains sixty ronrs.

The favorite problem Of thinkers and
teachers, since thought began, has been
to find some engine of ecucation which
should reach the character as efectually
as the ordinary means Of training touch
the understanding; and In the opinion
Of many, not men alone but nations,
music was such an engine. at Is music"
said the Spartans, (which distinguishes
the brave man from the coward" "a
mans music is the source of his courage"
1t was their music which enabled Leoni-
das and his three hundred to conquer IT
Thermopyle. Itwas music which taught
the Spartan youths how to die in the
wrestling ring or on the field OF battle.
when we consider how the rhythmical
tread of the brave man differs from
the agitated shamble Of the coward,
how music is the art Of human Joy, and
how Joy and repose of mind are the main
elements Of manly fortitude, we shall at
any rate admit that there 10 q strong
affinity somewhere; our only difficulty
will DO to acknowledge that music, de-
liberately applied, could ever be the d.
rect cause Of these reputed results. To
achieve the end desired Spartan boys
passed their youth in learning tunes,
hymns and songs; this was their sole
mental culture. They were taught to
dance and keep step to the measure OF
the songs as they sang them. And, grown
to manhood, now perfect warriors,
marched into battle with smiling faces,
crowned with flowers, calm, joyful and
serene, and, intoning their songs, moved
steadily thus into the thickest OF the
fight, undisturbed and irresistible. Tho

government Is peculiar. The Jurisdiction
Of the United States extends over the
territory for all cases In which q white
man not citizen Of any Indian nation
in the territory is q party. A district
court Is held at Fort Gibson in the
Cherokee nation, but for all ordinary
cases for the domestic relations they have
their own Indian courts. The subject Of
q territorial government has been burn
ing question among the Indians for
twenty years, and organization has pro-
ceeded SO far that the name Oklahoma
has been given to the proposed territory
and expected state; but Of late years the
project has In q great measure been
abandoned, and the title Oklahoma is
now given to tho disputed tract in
the central and northern section
Of the territory, which, according
does not belong to the Indians,
After numerous attempts to locate on
this land In which "Oklahoma Payne"
became so noted, and his cause was Wig
orously maintained by his successors,
the government has expelled ell the
settlers, and at tpresent holds the territory
for the location of such tribes of Indians
as may be brought from other sections.
But bill Is before congress, called the
Springer bill, which organizes the ter
ritory in much the same manner as other
American territories are organized, and
provides for settlement on the disputed
land.

Tho first pack OF playing cards Of
which any copy Is preserved was In use
In Venice in 1925, and contained seventy
eight cards in all, TWENTY-FIVE Of which
were picture cards OF very quaint char
acter. One picture card represented tho
devil, another death, a third the moon,
q fourth the gun, while the fifth depicted
the Judgment day. The Venetlans called
1t the game Of tarots, and 1t was no
doubt the original parent of tho modern
card pack, with its kings, queens,
knaves, etc. Tho French developed tho
game greatly, and it became the stah-
dard pastime of ell the royal courts Of
the Sixteenth century. Cards became SO
prominent O feature OF social life in
France that when tho revolution came
new card packs were devised in which
kings and queens were dono away with,
philosophers and popular heroes and
trroines taking their places. es.-Boston

not true he would be an angel, and
angels do not wear tweed business suits

THE SIN OF OMISSION.

Il isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undonc
Which gives you a bit Of heartachs
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your bsunt!ng ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of the brothers way,
The bit Of hearthstone counsel
You were hurried too much 10 say;
The loving touch OF the hand. dear.
The gentle and winsomc tone
That you had no time or thought for.
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts Of kindness,
So easily out Of mind,
These chances TO be angels
Which even mortals ind
They come In night and silence,
Zach child reproachful wrath,
When hope Is faint and Tagging.
And blight has dropped on faith
For life Is all too short, dear.
And sorrow Is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do. dear.
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you the bitter heartsche
At the setting Of the sun.

Here are twelve penny stamps. You
can use them in sending mo twelve

thus save your postal cards and my feel

close Of that war the government Of the
United States virtually decided that all
pre-existing treaties had been nulllfied
by the action Of the tribes during the
war, and the entire policy Of the govern.
ment towards these civilized Indians was
to great extent changed by the general
acts and treaties Of 1850, by which the
Indians agreed that railroads should run
through the territory and that all their
unoccupied lands should be devoted to
the settlement Of other tribes. Pursuant
to this agreement, the Osages and Kaws
have been located west Of the Cherokees.
The Kiowas, Comanches and Arapa-
hoes occupy very large region, and the
affiliated bands Of WichitSs, Keechies,
Wacoes, Tawacanies, Caddoes, Ionies and
many others occupy the wild country,
