Things in the Way.

Politicians realize that women need
the ballot to protect them industrially
and legally, but they do not intend that
we shall have 1t because they fear two
things:
/. They are afraid of the new element
in politics. They know where to find
the men-largely in the liquor saloons.
They know how to control the present
class of voters. They would not know
how TO reach the women. There
might, and probably would, be politi-
cal revolution if women voted.
2. They are afraid OF the gifted wo-
men who might seek Office. There are
candidates enough now for every de-
sirable position-for the senatorial, GU
bernatorial and congressional seats
without having women also as contest
ants for these honors. Therefore, no
matter how much any prominent poll
tician may publicly favor woman suf-
frage, there is strong probability that
he would rather see it defeated than
carried.-LiHie DerereuT Blake, in
WoDan's Column.
The Osceola times., 1888-11-10
MOTHER AND SON,
The DauEhter-in-Law the Best Critic Of
Their Relations.

Hhe Deushter-in-Law the Best Critic sf
Their Relations.
~ has been said that there is no such
strict judge Of mother as her daugh-
ter-in-law, although the daughter-in-
law may lock into her own bosom the
secrets of her judgment forever. tits
she who knows the faults and frailtio
OF her husband. the weaknesses that
might have been strength, the sins
where there might have been virtues;
and 1t is she who, looking back to
causes, and reasoning. out OF her love
and sometimes out Of her sorrow, Ques-
tions II the whole outcome might not
have been different II his mother had
done her duty, had tried to strengthen
where the boy was weak, had encour
aged where he faltered, had romem-
bered that, having given him birth she
was answerable for his life and soul
and body, and had not enjoyed her
ease instead, end let his life and soul
and body take care OF themselves. And
on the contrary, IL her husband is
great and noble as some strong-winged
seraph, then it is she, again, who looks
back at his mother, and whether she
loves the woman or not, recognizes
the work she did and acknowledges it
with admiration, with gratitude and
with the devotion of duty toward her
when needs be.
For, as rule, good mother makes
n good daughter-in-law, and few wives
who really love their husbands will
feel any jealousy Of his love for a
mother who has been TO him what a
mother should be. and there are cor
respondingly few but will feel the un-
worthiness OF the object on which that
love Is bestowed II the mother has
been self-seeking and self-indulgent,
and therefore negligent concerning
him. Perhaps mothers in general in
bringing up their boys may not think
| OF any future criticism from their
daughters-in-law or care for it II they
do. Yet that criticism is what the
criticism Of the world would be, il the
world knew the facts; it is what the
criticism OF the mothers own con-
science would be II she had con-
science; 1t is but little other than the
judgment under the Great Seal at last.
And If the aughter-in-law's judgment
be of no consequence, the others, the
judgment OF God and her own con.
science, should have oil the impor.
tance that any thing can have in NOR
tai and immortal tribunals. And the
woman who suffers her own console nee
to accuse her rightfully is of all
women the most miserable -Harper't
| Bazdr.

Such Is Fame.

Occasionally man appears on the
stage Of action who is impervious oven
to the tact and grace OF the American
women. Several very bright and culti-
waited women-some OF whose names
appear from time to time as contrib
utors to the the columns of the Christian
Union-were travelling in Germany.
One Of them was very sensitive to 60
bacco smoke, and the party had asked
that in case any gentleman came into
the car and prepared TO indulge in a
pipe or cigar he should be urged to re-
frain. Such n person soon made his
appearance. He was stalwart MEM
ber OF that army which is terror not
only to Europe but to Germany itself, SO
autocratic and insolent is the manner
which its officers assume TO the un-
lucky civilian who is brought in contact
with them. When the request of the
ladies was made known, he threw at
them a glance which showed how
astounded he was at their unheard-of
temerity. A woman request a German
officer not to smoke! Such a thing had
never happened In the Teutonic annals.
When he realized that he was really de-
barred from smoking, his wrath was
hardly controlled. He scowled furi-
ously, and no sweetness OF the feminine
manner or charm of the feminine smile
Modified him. After an insolent scruti-
ny of the party, he concluded that the
offenders were Americans, and, OF
course, they must be those horrible fe-
male suffragists, so abhorrent to every
well-regulated German. Summoning
all the resources of English at his COM
mand, he repeated slowly and scorn-
fully the cutting words: Meetings."

THE HANDSOME MAN.
What Constitutes One According to Fanny
Ferns Critical Mind.

Well-in the first place, there must
be enough OF him; or, failing in that
but, come TO think OF it, he mustn't fail
in that, because there can be no beauty
without health, at least according to
my way OF thinking. In the second
place, he must have a beard; whiskers
If the gods please, but beard in
sist upon, else one might as well look
at girl. Let his voice have dash OF
Niagara, with the music of baby's
laugh in it. Lot his smile be like the
breaking forth of the sunshine on

no more think of carrying cane than
he would use parasol to keep the sun
out of his eyes. He can wear gloves,
or warm his hands in his coat pockets,
