All Girls Should Row,

Young women should conquer the tim
idity that they feel the moment they set
foot in row-boat. A young man of the
right sort has no patience with the want of
confidence women have in themselves and
in his care for them. Bear in mind, courage
is quality not to be despised, and can be
worn beoomingl!y by any girl. It will come
to you and perchance has, as it does to all
women in some time of great emergency,
and yet you are here afraid of that
which an Ida Lewis has mastered when at
it's worst, and which, if once under
stood, would give you pleasure and greater
bodily strength. Some good oarsman will
show you how to sit in boat, and how to
row with one oar, and then with two. He
will teach you the strokes and other matters
necessary to be acquired. Enjoy your row.

No woman, at least in America, has any
such talent as man has for spending
money. She spends for what she believes
to be beauty-for raiment, books, jewels,

SENATOR ANTHoNY's OBITUARY.
A Premature Production That Its Subject
Insisted Unon Reading

A Premature Production That Its Subject
Insisted Upon Reading.
Zone night the news came to the Prov
idence journal Office" said Rhode Island
politician, "that Mr.. Anthony had been
stricken at his New York hotel on his way
to Washington. The managing editor sent
a message in hot haste to one of the sena-
tors most intimate friends, professor in
airy of him. The very next dispatch might
bring the news of the SEN
ator's death, and the senator's own
paper must do his career Justice
if the mail was missed on the last edition
The professor, fortunately, had formerly
himself been newspaper man, and was
thoroughly familiar with the senator's Ca
reer. Heset to work, and before o. clock the
next morning the copy of two-column
obituary had passed through a printers
hands and had been put into cold type.
1.-THE senator did not die at that time. In
fact, he recovered sufficiently to go on to
Washington. But the managing editor Of
the journal, realizing that the end might
come at any moment, thought it best not
to have the type of the obituary thrown in,
and kept it standing against an emergency.
Weeks passed, when one day the managing
editor received q letter from SEN
ator Anthony, containing this simple re-
quest: Please send me proof of my obit-
uary standing in type The editor was per-
picked. He had not the slightest idea that
Senator Anthony knew anything of the ex-
istence of the obituary. He did not know
what to do, but finally decided to bluff the
senator by feigning ignorance of what he
meant. and ignoring his request.
In following letters the senator made no
reference to the obituary, and the editor
congratulated himself on the success of his
bluff. One day Senator Anthony reached
home from Washington and walked into
the Journal Office. He went straight to the
to the composing room and have them
strike me off proof of that obituary about
which wrote you
There was no help for it. The editor
did as he was ordered, and soon the Office
boy appeared with the proofsheet in his
hand. The senator took it and walked
slowly into small private Office that he
always retained for himself. He closed the
door and remained there alone over an
hour. What his thoughts were as
he sat in that small room all
by himself. carefully weighing the final
estimate of his career by his most
intimate friend, all ready for publication
in his own paper, no enc ever knew. He
walked out of the Office in silence as he had
entered it, and, without comment, handed
the proofsheet back to the editor, a clean
revise. There was not pencil mark on it.
He then left the office.
mot long after the fatal stroke came and
that obituary was printed exactlv as it was
read by Senator Anthony"

rDICATION OF THE FARMER.

The recent letter Of Mr.. Harrison to the
National Grangers Of Pennsylvania, t.
which reference was made in The TINES a
few DAYS ago has attracted an unusual de-
gree Of attention among the members OF the
class TO which il was addressed, and has
called forth from them a great ariety OF
sentiments. Looked at from an entirely
dsintercsted standpoint, this letter might
be properly thought very refreshing reading
20 the average farmer at time when he Is
paying fifteen cents per pound for the Irvine
for his binders, and has impending over him
double price for his cans, 10 protect the
thin veins of tin in Montana and Dakota.
IL will be recalled that in his sloyenly
and III written letter, Mr. Harrison eN-
dressed desire "to educate the farmers
more thoroughly as 10 what was necessary
for their maintenance and life and then
added pathetically and tenderly that he
loved them. There is "A class Of the reptile
species which covers its victims with slime
before proceeding to swallow them, and
while respect for a great Office iorbids a
personal application of the illustration, it
is difficult TO suppress the thought that Mr..
Harrison is preparing the poor farmer to be
swallowed by the Mckinley bill, and that
too, at time when the English House Of
Commons and French Chamber of Deputies
have already had brought 20 their attention
retaliatory legislation against American
agricultural products.
The Northern farmer, with his little home
stead plastered with mortgages, must be
stupid indeed if the seductive blandish-
ments of Mr.. Harrison win him over 10 the
belief that the threatened exclusion Of the
fruits Of his industry from European mar
kets and a double price for his cans and
Irvine will in any way tighten his burdens
or increase the horrors Of free trade.
In the ewes of the Virginia farmer the
generosity of Mr.. Harrison's promise to in
struct will be greatly in excess of the value
of the instructions TO be given, but 1t may
be that the Northern granger will feel him.
self amply compensated for costly Irvine
and tin cans and exclusion from foreign
markets by new light on the beauty Of the
Force bill, and the pleasing prospect of
negro domination in the South. Let us hope,
however, for better things, and that the
Northern farmer may come to regard Mr.
Harrison as very small specimen Of
Presidential potato.
