.--Tolstoi, the Russian novelist, al

FARMER BROWN AND HuLDA
LEE; OR, SWEETS OF PERSON.
Al LIBERTY.

Young farmer Brown lived near town
Where great men wandered up and down,
And saved their country every day
BY talking in pompous way
OF things of high and low degree,
But most OF personal liberty
Young Brown was thrilled by words SO grand;
IT'S true he did not understand
All that was said, but oh" thought her
How grand this personal liberty"
But mention its indeed, not he
When he went counting Huda Lee.
And many envied him his prize,
So modest, gentle, true and wise;
Joyous, winsome maid was she,
This blue-eyed, bonny Hulda Lee.
And all rejoiced, and said that day
When the wedding-bells made music gay.
That brighter prospects, fairer bride,
Meier blest that happy country side"
Brown lovedhis "grand prospects" to view,
And gathered with chosen few.
They'd whistle, whittle drink and smoke,
With many jest and curious joke
That would have made him blush ere he
Was pledged to personal liberty"
Poor Hulda, as the years crept on,
Watched her hopes vanish, one by ono,
While, for her tears and pleadings, he
Would swear and talk of liberty"
Their home was gone, her hopes were dead;
Then bitterly to herself she said,
whats good for Jack is good for me;
I'll try this personal liberty"
Then, for his oath why should she care!
She could in answer curse and swear.
1.-The parson made us one," said she,
u, too, like personal liberty"
Jack tried to plead with bleary eyes,
And tell her OF her children's cries;
They are your children, too" said she,
'Thoy shall inherG liberty
Now wen together drown our woe,
For where thou gocst will GO;
Thy people Shall my people be;
Wen die for personal liberty"

AS TO OvERPRODUCTION.

An Impossibility Until All Human Needs
Have Beon Supplied.
The employment of machinery and
other labor-saving inventions has in
creased and cheapened productions,
yet they have not, nor will they ever,
keep pace with the increasing wants
and demands of advancing civilization.
The higher the civilization, the better
educated the people, the more it de-
velopes new and increasing wants and
desires, and to this there is no limit.
The wants OF the savage can be counted
on the fingers ends, while those peo-
pie in the high state OF civilization
have wants that are as numerous as
the stars in heaven-there is no end.
The way out of the dilemma is not to
stop work and throw the people into
idleness and crime, but to cultivate
their desires by higher civilization
so they will,crave for more, not less,
of the good things OF this world. When
the people desire certain thing they

before. 1t is ignominious folly to talk
of an overproduction of goods while
half the people are suffering for those
very things which they tell us have
been produced in too great an abun-
dance. There has been no overproduo-
ton of shoes as long as there is one
person going barefooted or with holey
shoes on, or an overproduction
in cotton cloth, wooden goods, or
any other article of comfort, until
every person in the land has all he de-
sires to make him comfortable and
happy. AS long as there is one
person lifted or ill-clothed, who de.
sires to be better provided for, and is
willing to work to that end, there has
been no overproduction, but an un'
iointing of the equitable laws of pro
duction and consumption is what is
the matter and what causes the trouble

A RESERVE POWER.

Indications That Woman's seryIces Arc
Becoming Necessary In Public Places.
Miss Mary H. Krout, in an article in
the "Woman's Kingdom" of the Chicago
lntor-Ocean, gives good reasons for
believing that women will bear q
share in 1.-THE political future" She
says:
In every large city in the United
States there is an outcry against imper-
feet sewerage, filthy, badly-paved. i'm
perfectly-lighted streets, and to further
proper sanitary measures, and this
where uncounted millions have flowed
into the treasury, more than enough to
sweeten and bsautify every thorough
fare whiting their corporate limits.
This does not touch open and fragrant
violation of law. Necessary laws, no
matter how wisely and carefully en-
acted, can not be enforced where a
sentiment favoring morality and So
briefly finds no sympathy with those
who have been invested with au-
thority.
In many departments OF public work.
chiefly philanthropic and educational,
women have been called upon to lend
O hand to establish order and discipline
where lawlessness, and INSTRUMENTATION
and ignorance ran riot Corruption and
vice In infirmarles and hospitals where
female patients have been at the mercy
OF brutal attendants, necessitated the
appointment OF educated women upor
the board OF managers. Knowledge o.
the needs of children, acquired through
motherhood, or in their experience a.
teachers, has made it expedient like
wise to give them recognition on schoo
boards as principals and superinten
dents. In Indiana almost the onl,
public institution penal or philanthropy
ic, that has escaped scandal has beer
the Woman's Reformatory, the State
Prison for women. This has been man
aged for years by women exclusively,
and 1t has been not only well-managed
but has been self-supporting.
In every department where womer
have been given opportunity, their pub
lie duties have been faithfully per.
formed. There have been few report.
of corruption, incompetence, or fail

Judging, therefore, from actual re-
suits. there is every reason to believ,
that their public responsibilities will b,

The professional molasses taster is
a martyr. Imagine a man having to
sample twenty-five or thirty grades of
that sirup and then try to eat square
meal. He can't eat square meal,
you will say. Oh, yes, he can, is the
reply. To be sure he tastes of thirty
kinds OF molasses in one day, but he
does not swallow particle. This re-
qulres practice, the abstinence from
swallowing, and is the great difficulty
in the beginners path. He must pro-
tect his teeth, too, and therefore his
masticators require careful cleansing,

Round the great central throne OF majesty.

Truth in the light that streams upon the world
And love in the dread power that holds them
Unswervng in their way through the blue

Falls down in golden rays upon the earth.
