THE COUNTRY POOR

Those who imagine that the only
poor to be cOmmiserated are those
who herd in the nOisesome dens of the
large cities will be undeceived If they
read little story published in the
current Arena. 1t is entitled "a
Prairie Heroine" and shows up the
terrible mental condition a woman
can reach when she has been ground
To death with helpless work. The
eternal round Of labor unlighted by a
single fash OF pleasure is what fills
the mad-houses with poor wretches.
There IS as much misery to be found
in a dug-out Of the prairie as in the
cellar Of the city. This is something
for the purists to contemplate. 1t is
argued that brains are saved by cheap
amusements. So those who would do
real missionary work in the West will
find way of tightening the labor, or
at least Frightening the lives of the
dreary drudge outside the cities and
towns. The poor of large cities are
baited to the country by
the hope OF something they
never attain. Crowded in unhealthy
quarters-poor and squalid to the last
degree-they breathe no more pure air
than their thousand sisters who stag
nate in the city. The poor of the
country are, If possible, worse off than
the poor OF the city for they have alb
solutely no diversion. On the Fourth
Of July there is no free park and fire.
works display. They have no hope of
escape from the eternal grind Of their
every day life. Early and late the
man tolls, and when he turns his face
homeward it is to eat heavily, smoke
strong tobacco and forget in a sudden
sleep that the next day and on and on
represents so much toil--unremitting
ceaseless toll. His children are so
many drags on his working ability.
His wife Is only patient drudge,
whose capacity for turning off work
represents her usefulness. When she
falls by the way, as she is sure to do
some day, he resents the fact that the

than usual. Is IL astonishing that |

" HOW TO GROW OLD }"

The st. Joseph, Missouri, Herald
has an editorial headed How to Grow
Old" but the chances are that men
who are merging into the shady side,
or who have already begun to feel their
way down life's other hill-sidewill see
the title Of the article and pass it by
saying TO themselves lit doesn't affect
me. | shall not begin to consider how
TO grow old for some years yet"
A young poet Of 20 years once wrote;
OF mauhood's prime let others boast;
IL comes too late, It comes too soon;
AT times the lite | envy most
Is that OF slippered pantalOon.
And yet there are very few Of the
people Of the world, comparatively
speaking, who are anxious TO see old
age creeping on. Most men speak OF
growing old as Of something which
will come after they have drained
life's pleasures dry. They will save
and live toward point when they can
sit back and enjoy themselves, There
never was a greater fallacy, for most
men, when once they give themselves
up to growing old, find all of a sudden
that the thread has weak place and
so it is broken. Life is such coy,
tleeting thing such precious gift,
yet so uncertain, that the best advice
in regard to it is; use every moment
judiciously and thus grow old happily
and beautifully.
There is a class Of philosophers who
believe that to escape from this posi-
tive fact-self-is impossible. We
are and what we leave undeyeloped in
this world must be concluded in the
next.
To such believers the way Of grow
ing old is most important, as II means
a certain sort of spiritual growth.
We must develop our brains even at
the expense Of the bodies, and in
growing old remember we are only
preparing for another state Of exist
ence, when the soul, less hampered
than when on earth, will soar upward
and onward.
The New York Press has been pub
fishing. recently. a series II interviews

wanted o die in harness. that i. very
few cared to tolerate Old age. But
there is DO greater tTayestF on life
than a burlesqued youth. Nothing
more hide0us than an old person mas
querading as a boy. Grow old cheer
fully, industriously, and remember as
surely as the sun sun sets, so surely
does it rise again.

Something of a Change

Post-IDtelligencer: Less than sixty
Years ago Patience Crandall, a young
scbo0luisIvess. was m0bbed in Connectf-
cui and compelled to close her school for
eolor@o children. The leading men of
botL parties were included among the
persecutors Of the woman. Today some
Northern women of the Pres byterian
church are planning to establish an in
dustrial institute for coiored girls in
Mississippi. The fact becoming known,
the citizens Of Port Gibson, Miss. held a
public meeting at the court house the
other day, and adopted resolutions that,
Whereas, We are DESTROYS Of expressing
our Interest and sympathy for ali educa-
ti0nai movements having in view the in

OF the movement to visit Port Gibson and

vicinity of Port Gibson; and that we
hereby promise our moral aud active sup

That's What the Herald SAYS

Tacoma Globe: 1t is to be depIored
however, that prominent Republican
newspapers lend their columns to I'M
seemly abuse and vituperative assertions
affecting the integrity of any official who
has been elected by the people 10 honor
able office and has hon0rably and honestly
filled that office. Legitimate criticism Of
official acts is to be desired. but personal
abuse, without specific charges hich can
be SubStantiated. works an injury, not to
the officer assaulted but to the party. in
alternating from its support many active
and honest workers, who will not stand
idly bY when their friends are unjustly
attacked. While il is the duty of a news
paper TO expose fraud and corruption
wherever IL may be found. il is no less its
duty to present all facts without rejudice
and without desire TO wreak personal
vengeance upon political enemy. A
failure to do this will contribute to such
Reorganization as the Democrats now
claim exists in the Republican party The
time 10 take warning is the present time.

Jack THE RIPPER"
A Man Arrested for the Murder of
"CarrOty NelI.'

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The latest discovery
made by the metropolitan police in con-
ncction with the Whitechapel murder
Friday morning last, by which the wo-
man known as "Carroty Nell" lost her
life, bids fair to connect the man Sadlcr,
now in custody, with this lack the
Ripper" crime.
The metropolitan police now have in
their possession sharp, dangcrouslook-
ing knife, stained with blood and show
ing traces of having recently been washed.
The blood stains were examined micro
scopically by DR.. Phillips, police surgeon
attached to the Lcwan street police sta
ton. DR.. Phillips has no doubt
that the stains are those OF human
blood. This formidable knife has been
traced to the possession of Sadler, who
was fireman on board a steamer which
has recently arrived from Turkey. The
police have no doubt that Sadlcr is the
murderer of "Carroty Nell"
