THE TIRED WIFE.

All day the wife has been toiling,
From an early hour in the morn,
And her hands and her feet are weary
With the bun dens that she has borne;
But she said to herself. "The trouble
That weighs on my mind is this
That Tom never thinks to give me
comforting hug or kiss.
I'm willing to do my duty,
To use all my strength and skill
In making the home attractive.
In striving my place to fill;
But though the approval of conscience
Is sweet, am free to say
That if Tom would give me hug and kiss,
Twould take all TIE tired away"
Then she counted over and over
The years she had been Toms wife,
And thought Of the joys and sorrows
She had known in her married life
To be sure, there was money plenty,
And never lack of food
But kiss now and then, and a word of praise
Would have done her a world of good
ALL many one is longing
For words that are never said
And many heart goes hungry
For something better than bread
But Tom had an inspiration,
And when he went home that day
He petted his wife and kissed her,
In the old time lover.lke way.
And she--such enigmas are women
Who had held herself up with pride,
At her husbands display of fondness,
Just hung on his neck and cried;
And he by her grief reminded
OF trouble he might hav, b I'D
Said, "Bless my heart What fool I've been
didn't suppose you cared"

NUMEROUS and varied are the ideas entertained
by men and women, as to what would be the re-
suit were women allowed to exercise the right of
franchise, and the ignorance ofttmes displayed
upon the subject-woud be mirth provoking, were

They would be perfectly content with only half the
earth, and women have long since settled down
upon the conviction that the pants would be shock
ingly unbecoming "In heaven name," another
man asks, ''what would become of the homes of
our country, when the women are all gone to the
polls" and he appeared to suffer from tortuous
visions of the mothers, wives and daughters, all
over the land, leaving their homes in body to 90

Here is the latest. Two gentlemen were standing
under an electric light in the streets of Little Rock
engaged in earnest conversation. The hour was
late and suddenly the stiffness was rent by a
woman's shrek. "What can it mean?" said one
of the gentlemen. They waited, and as the pro-
tests and lamentations drew nearer it proved to be
apoor miserable, drunken woman, who was being
taken to the city prison by two policemen. As the
trio passed up the street, both gentlemen regarded
them with sober interest, when one of them ex-
claimed with earnest fervor, "And THIS is woman

AFTER heartily endorsing the report of the Com
nttee on Education-a strong and well written
paper-prepared for and read before the Teachers
Association of this State, the Arkansas Church
man says:
"Afer the above exhibition educational gumptlon we are
amazed to read not word about the farce of education
at Fayetteville. If there is humbug Nineteenth
Century demonstrated than another educa
ton of the sexes in institutions of higher learning"
The Arkansas Christian commenting on the OPP
position of The Churchman to the co-educaton of
the sexes, after warning 1t against the folly Of at
tempting to check the wheels of progress and the
onward march of higher civilization, asks perth
nently I'why The CHRONICLE does not teach Bro.
Carnahan the way of the Lord more perfectlyp
and wonders ''where is Priscilla?'
In answer to these questions we would remark,
Priscilla is here and she is all right. Full we'll we
know there are Priscillas to be found as capable
and willing to teach the Apollos OF this century,
cen though they be DIS eloquent and learned as the
one of that day.
Does The Churchman fear that the co-education
of the sexes will have something more than dis
couragng effect upon the male students Forsooth
it looks that way, when after giving them the start
of hundreds of years, girls in one-half century
so far outrun them in the race, that it is recorded
of them over and over again. that they stand No.
in classes that number thirty and forty students.
They do not, however, take time for cigarette
smoking, and it may be they will not devote as
much to fencing, foot-racing, boxing, etc. so in
these fields boys can still hope to excel.
When boys look to it well they will find that
purity of morals has developed higher order OF
mentality than they can ever hope to attain with
out reformation of themselves.
We cannot close without gentle reminder OF
something st. Paul did not say. We do not read
that Anna, prophecies, and daughter OF Phanuel,
kept silence even in the house of the Lord but
joined with Simeon in giving thanks and praise
and even in this day their right to cast ballot or
vote in church elections has not been overlooked
