A Story Told a Few Years Hence.

els it true, grandma, that few years ago the
alcohol now used in the arts and labeled poison,
was used as beveragep' 'Not the pure alcohol,
of course but it is true that only few years ago
great many different kinds of liquors were used
by people all over our country for drinking pur-

greater or less per cent of alcohol" ''Ths same
kind of alcoholic eyes, the same kind" IL

who drank it but of innocent people. Those who
drank it never took enough at one time to kill
them in a short time; some of them were life
time dying, making those around them miserable
the meanwhile" "Why did they drink it, if it
killed or even injured themT "Some did not
know and did not care to know that it injured
them, while others had formed such strong habit
for the Intoxicating bowl they could not let it
alone, when on every corner was saloon to entice
them in" "But what did people let the saloon
stay for?" "Peope not only let it stay, but peo-
pie kept it. Women could have nothing to say in

ABOUT WOMEN.

Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, much beloved
poet and the founder of the order of ''The Kings
Daughters" has been elected to a chair in the
University at Denver.
In writing to a lady in Allegheny, who had
named baby for her, Mrs. Cleveland said 81

FRANKIE although my very intimate friends
sometimes call me Frank
Mrs. Langtry mas gone to Europe. She en-
barked on the Eruria q week or more since, &C
companied by two maids seven trunks and four
gripsacks. She wore neat walking dress of
striped cashmere that fitted her elegant figure to
perfection, white felt hat, and over her arm she
carried sack of dark cloth. She said that she
was going in search of rest and new dresses.
Mrs. Joseph Riggs, widow of Washington
banker, will soon add her name, it is said, to the
list of American princesses. Mrs. Riggs is neither

to be married is young handsome and very poor.
He is real prince of the Roman aristocracy, and
his name is Ruspoli.
The Misses Drexel, of Philadelphia, daugh-
tiers of banker in that city, have opened home
for orphaned children, which is called ST. Francis
de Sales Home 1t stands in the midst of an ap-
pie orchard, and is surrounded by 250 acres of
land and the young lady founders have spared no
pains or expense to make it perfect as possible,
the building being lighted throughout with cleo
tricity and heated by steam.
Mrs. Marion Preston and Miss Mary Berg,
who testified before the Congressional investigation
committee concerning the i'll treatment of women
and girls in the large clothing manufactures OF
New York, have met the penalty they anticipated,
and been discharged from their positions, their
employers thus adding weight to the confirmation
of their testimony.
Recently Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone celebrated
the fftieth anniversary of their marriage, and the
numerous and special tributes paid to Mrs. Glad
stone were as much in appreciation OF her indivd-
ual worth as woman, as testimonials to her
wifey attributes and exalted position. Mrs Glad
stone is now seventysix years of age, having been
born at her fathers house, Hawarden Castle,
which is her present home, January 6, 1912. On
the 22th of July, 1888, she was married, being
then twenty-six, and Mr.. Gladstone thirty. Eight
children have been born to this noble pair-four
sons and four daughters-of whom seven still live
One daughter, Helen, still remains unmarried, is
said to be one of the best educated women in
England, and holds the honorable position of
principal of Noonham college, one of the only two
colleges in that country, established for the higher
education of women. The story of Mrs. Glad
stones life, were it told in greater length, would
read like beautiful romance so full it has been
of variety-social, domestic, philanthropic
plete with love and happiness, that the grand old
age which has overtaken this noble couple seems
but the appropriate browning for two such lives.

tile precocity on her part he would 60 her one
better, and had many times succeeded in silencing
them in this way. Naturally it was not encour-
aging to his tormenters to be constantly outdone,
ecipsed at every corner and SO often had he
called upon the imaginative children to suppress
the innocently offending matron that he found the
children fast becoming reality.
Over-fondness and unwise indulgence, and CIV
ing prominence to children ideas, opinions and will
power, have been the means of creating horrors of
the innocents.
Often it is the case that it is too much trouble
to correct faults in the little Ones and from this
cause more than from over fondness, il-mannered,
ill-behaved children are reared, and the race of
child haters is on the increase. Thus are the sins
of the fathers upon the children promptly served,
and the children are not the ones at fault. The
thankless child is never grateful for the dstinc-
ton. But neither are inefficient parents entirely
to blame for the inherent feelings of repulsion in
many persons for children.
The smiles and appreciation of grown-up folks
are so much to the little ones. With an instinct
akin to dumb animals, children know who their
friends are
mammals eyes are baby's skies,' says the
ballad; through the eyes, childish instinct dscerns
the SOUL Would we feel fattered to know that in
some infantile mind were unexpressed doubts of
our possession of that article? If, through life,
we could retain the power to discern and read
character in proportion to the ability we possessed
as children, we would be wise indeed.
Eyes and voice convey more than words, and
beauty of feature has little to do with attractive
ness where they are concerned
What genius it is th& can enter into the
thoughts and emotions of child to portray them.
We need a good angel, now and then, to remind
us that we were children once ourselves, with
hearts made heavy by trivial things
There are baby hearts in the world to-day aching
for kind word, pleading for love and sympathy,
little hearts grown old, saddened as they are by
the mountainous troubles of childhood, When
circumstances throw us in contact with them, we
may scatter some sunshine with our smiles and
good will, even at the expense of our own comfort
and convenience, and in the book of life it will be
inscribed to our credit.
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-09-22
THE CHILDREN:

children that seems to be growing upon the race
of mankind.
There are two reasons for this want of sympa-
thy. One cause rests with the indulgent parent,
and the other with the Impotence and selfshness
Of men and women lack Of charity, and q desire
for personal comfort at whatever expense.
John B. Cough is said to have paved the way
for the inevitable baby in the sleeping-car to the
hearts of the travelling public, by touching Incl
dent he was wont to relate, melting his audience
to tears straightway
The babe in question had walled and walled,
till the passengers were in dispair, and here the
at the conductors coat-tails and begged him, with
much harsh language, to throw the child out, kill
it, choke it-anything to silence it. Then in the
next breath he would impersonate the helpless
father of the child who, he parted the curtains,
in the saddest of tones besought the incensed pas
senger to be patient yet little while longer-'for
my babys mother is dead am taking her re-
mains home, and the baby to friends. am doing
the best I can"
No one who had heard Mr.. Cough tell this
story can imagine its effect on his audience, and
1t sank into many heart, and has perhaps been
many times recalled when the annoying walls of
some little one disturbed the quiet necessary to
rest in the seepng-car.
Children and dogs are not allowed, proyerbially,
these days. Couples without children are in de-
mand as boarders, dodgers and tenants
What, pray, are the little children to do? There
was grim truth in the satrcal wititcism Of an ex
change the pther day. in substance this wise:
A lady attired ingarments of mourning rings the
door bell, and inquiries for rooms and board?
"Any children?" asks the landlady. "No!" signs
the applicant. 81 had a little boy once, but he
died short time ago." allow Fortunate" ex-
claims the landady, "for we never take children"
1t Is fact vouched for by the writer that one
poor desperate man, who had looked in vain for
habitation-a roof to shelter his family of six
little ones-fna,y replied, satirically to the ex-
pected question: eyes, madam, have children
six of them but if you will agree to let me have
the house, I'll kill them all-every one of them. /"
This condition carries with it a reflection II
you were to ask crusty old bachelor or, in
fact the large, uninteresting, disinterested pub
lie, you would be told it was neficency of parents,
lack of stability and discipline where the rising
generation is concerned.
Probably they are not altogether in error. A
few generations ago there was an adage to the
effect that children should be seen and not heard.
This is now obsolete How much So the critical,
observant, cold-blooded public can testify.
This foolish trait of over fondness and indul-
gence has usually been laid at the door of Ameri-
can mothers, and the little "Young Amrca' ex-
presses all the outcome of this indulgence.
