Of his love, but woman's desire is

is perennial Of life and grows in every
climate. Neither coldness nor neglect
harshness nor cruelty can extinguisl
it. A woman's love is the perfume o
the heart. This is the real love that
subdues the world; the love that has
wrought all miracles Of art; that gives

Scnntor Fred q. Dnbois.

The organized efforts now being
made to defeat Hon. Fred T. Dubois
for the long term in the United States
Senate, even after election, upon the
pleas OF technicalities, informality,
new departure, without precedent in
the history of the country, and the
like, must inevitably result in the de-
feat and discontinue of the organi-
zers. AS party move for an adyan-
tage TO themselves the democrats
should encourage the organizers in
everyway possible, but TO endorse
such course as honorable, just and
right they cannot and viii not do so.
Everything is NOT right in politics and
war. If THE News understands the
situation Mr.. Dubois was fairly and
honorably elected as per an agreement
among the Legislative friends Of all
the candidates in the race for sena-
tors, save one, and it was his friends
who made it possible for the other
two to be elected, and now because OF
the excuses hatched up which raises
the question of the legality of his
election a fight is being made to de
feat him, it appears TO us that it will
be in poor taste. very poor indeed, fol-

ties, and certainly not among tn
probabilities that he will be defeated

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

An exchange recently remarked, and
Justly, that the behavior OF many
school children in public would lead an
ordinary observer TO the conclusion
that good breeding wa, lost art.
Whereupon a teacher inquired, appar-
emily in surprise, whether teacher is
expected to teach pupils manrers. The
question was not hard to answer. If
the object of school education be to
fit children for useful and successful
lives, we can think of no part of their
instruction upon which more stress
should be laid than upon that which
relates to department. When there are
dozen applicants for position in a
business house, the best hammered boy
or youth OF the lot is invariably selected
Well hammered boys rarely remain
long in the messenger servic, in our
cities, for the reason that business men
offer them better positions and secure
their services. The best hammered
statesmen and saleswomen sell the most
goods, and are in greatest demand
Good maunered men make their way
in politics. in the professions. in bust
ness life and in society to far greater
degree than the boorish and uncoutb I,
though the latter may be equally dill
gent and quite as competent in oil re-
spects save that OF department.
On this subject. which has of late
drawn opinions from many papers, the
Philadelphia Times says: I'm the old
fashioned school days it was not IN

MANNERS as it was called Children

Each rock, each nook each bounding rill,
The wide old field, and howery lea,

Though other hands, thy bounties reap,
And other eyes, their vigils keep
A sigh. wipe the falling tears,
Remembrance OF receding wears.
The little laughing, sparkling brook
Where OFT I've dropped my line and hook,
Is laughing still-no older grown,
Though many, many years have flown!
The old oak tree used TO climb,
Is standing yet; though scathed by time,
The road, that leads down to the mead,

And ears of yellow corn are hung,
Just as they were when was young.

In tuneful songs, both loud and clear.
And kneeling ut the old armchair,
No more | hear her evening PRAYER.
But sometimes, in fancy dream.
Bright vistas ope TO the unseen
Angelic songs float on the air,
And mothers voice is mingled there.
