Why Mr.. Fulton Takes so
much Interest in the
Farmers.
Yours Respectfully,
c. H. REGISTER

AT the Farmers Institute here on
Saturday, J. Alexander Fulton. ESQ. of
Dover, said he wished to make a brief
statement regarding his own position.
SAID he some people have wondered
why |, being a lawyer, take such an
interest in the farmers. Well. will
tell you. In the first place was born
and bred upon the farm, and nv fore
fathers too as far back as we have anv
tradition. All my happy boyhood davs
were spent on the farm. There used
to ride the horses bareback to water
and to the pasture fields. There | used
to feed the cattle. house the sheen and
help gather in the young lambs out of
the cold and put them under warm
shelter. There l used to watch the
frolicsOme colts play in the green
meadows, and listen to the music of
the tinkling cOwbells as the herd came
home at night. There, as boy, l used
TO pick the ripe cherries off the trees
and gather the red mellow apples
under them. There it was that nv
revered father and mother taught me
to be honest, faithful and true; to love
God, and seek better life: to love nv
fellOw-man, too, but not to fear him.
Besides all these, l have my whole
life been personally and peculiarly
interested in tilling the soil and raising
fruit, and am SC still. My hopes and
my fears are wrapped up in the success
or the failure of our crops and in the
farmers general prosperity. If we
succeed, it means comfort and pros
perity to us; if we fail it bring misfor-
tune and poverty.
In view of all these happy associa.
tions and memories of my childhood
and all these present and substantial
interests, is it any wonder l am found
among my fellow farmers in sympathy
and effort ? Would it not be strange and
unnatural if l was not? Are not our in
terests the same? The truth is am never
so happy as when out among the green
fields, breathing the sweet pure air of
the farm, laden with the fragrance of
the clover and apple blossoms and filled
with joyous life and health; and had l
my choice to-day my home as well as
my heart would be there too.

The most significant news recently
Issuing from Africa is that Emin Pasbg
has entered the German service and
will start in two weeks for the lake re.

no doubt that he intends to claim fol

Governor. Egypt has abandoned the

claimed 1t, and as il lies entirely out.
side the region which England and
Germany divided between themselves
in 1887, the Upper Nile is all ready to
become German property unless the
Mahdists interpOse effective Obiec.
tiOns.
If this programme is carried out
there will be loud and and angry com.
ment in England. It was British
money that brought Emin, rather
against his will, to the sea. There
Stanley dropped him within the
sphere of German influence" 1t will
not please the British to think of the
pretty penny they spent simply Ia
bring Emin where the Germans could
get at him and use him for their pur.
poses. No wonder Emin is not going
to Europe to face the clamors of his
British admirers fhe really expects to
make the extension of German infiu-
ence in Central Africa the chief result
of the Stanley expedition.
The lake regions bid fair to be a
lively news field for the next few years.
With Mwanga again on the throne Oi
Uganda and sustained there by white
influences, Emin, backed by a power
ful Government, returning to reconquer
his old province, and several projects
brewing to make things warm for Arab
slave stealers, there may be some mo-
mentous happenings in Central Africa.

What Mrs. Leslie Would Like.

Some interesting remarksOn the'ever
new subject of love are published in
the Portland OregOnaan, a very import
ant journal of the Pacific coast. and
the name of Mrs. Frank Leslie is given
as that of their author:
Most women who wish that they
were men are pining for what /, bv a
Klnd fortune or strange fatality,
already possess:
An outlet for energy.
"A voice in the ear of the world and
An influence beyond the walls of
their own homes.
IF | had not these things naturally
should desire them very earnestly.
and, being man, or being a woman.
should try to obtain them.
As it is, desire a mans opportuni-
ties. chiefly from social point of view.
III l were man would try to under
stand women as very few men do. I
would study the cOmplexity of their
tastes, loves, disllkes, sensitiveness and
lntuItlons, and try to raise my simpler
and clumsier masculine perception to a
level with what most men despise be-
cause they do not comprehend.
81 would like to be a man for little
while that | might make love to at
least two or three women in wav
that would neither shock them with
It's coarseness nor starve them with its
poverty. As it it is now, most women
deny themselves the expression of
best part of their love because thev
know that it will either be puzzle or
terror to their lovers.
And what l would not do if were
man would be ever to let 90 the curb
rein of my own prOpensities.
Il would never let any woman know
me for just what was by nature, but
having discovered her ideal of me
would try 10 live up TO it, or rather to
copy it as best | could.
mo man has yet ever been all that
the woman who loves him tries to be-
lieve him. If l were man l would
take care that she never found out her
mistake. Bnt where is the man wise
enough to do that ?"
Here are original views upon a sub
Ject that has certainly been discussed
a good deal. What Mrs. Leslie saws
of the low condition of wisdom in men
is undoubtedly accurate. Men are
often the reverse of wise; but one of
her propositions we must object to. 1t
cannot be proper, even in imagination,
to make love to two or three women at
once. Yet this is what we understaud
Mrs. Leslie to contemplate doing, if
she were a man.
