THE COUNTRY EDITORS WIFE

You have heard of the country editors
life,
With its care and worry ana doubt.
OF the shabby genteel of his seedy
clothes,
OF his diamond pins, and his calm re-
pose,
His happiness, money and gout.
But, say, have you heard of the editors
wife?
Of that silent copartner, who,
With blending OF sentiment, beauty
and skill,
With temperate knowledge, with tact
and will,
The whole Of his labor can do?
1t is she who embroiders the garments
BY the editors hard old chair,
Now dressed with cushions, soft and
And trimmed up with tides and rib
bons sweet,
Which once was so poor and bare.
If the editors sick, or away or behind,
In need of more hands and more
She directs his wrappers so they can
be read,
And writes his leaders right out of her
head,
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers and
books,
AS the cradle she softly rocks
While the editor sits in his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust in his tangled
hair,
She quitely mends his socks.
Then she reads the ads with t. he ed
Just to find what each has paid
But the column ad OF the jewelry
there"
So he says, "and the harness and hui
man hair,
Must be taken out in trade ~
She wears the corsets he gets for ads,
And rattles his sewing machine;
She uses the butter and eggs and
things,
The country subscriber so faithfully
brings,
With a cheerfulness seldom seen.
But her life so full Of merry delight,
Has one dark cloud alas
Though she shares his ticket to circus
and play,
To lecture, and negro Ministries gay,
She can't use his railroad pass
When time hangs heavy on his hands,
She beguiles the hours away,
With joke and laughter, music and
song,
And pleasant talk, and thus ripples
along
The whole of each leisure day.
Oh, who would exchange this sweet
content,
This simple and trusting life,
For that of queen of royal birth?
For the happiest woman on all this
earth,
Is the country editors wife

ton Of the report is that which de-
scribes the people, their mode Of life,
manners and customs
Alaska is divided into six districts,
the seventh or Arctic, division being
inhabited almost exclusively by ma
tive Eskimo. These natives have some
very curious ways and habits.
Courtship is matter very easily ar
ranged. The suitor usually first makes
his wishes known by presenting the
maid of his choice with dainty morsels
of food, clothes of all descriptions and
furs. He then threatens her parents
with all sorts of things until they con-
sent to the match. He generally gains
his bride, and then his household is
complete. From this time on he takes
life easy. He goes out hunting or
loafs around the hut, while the wife
becomes the slave and does all the
hard work. She sews, cooks, helps
paddle the canoes, feeds and tends the
sled dogs and performs other menial
offices.
But, despite their hardships, the Es-
kimo women, and the men too, are
very cheerful in disposition and ex-
ceedingly kind-hearted They are how
ever. great drunkards. 1ntemperance
is one of their greatest curses.
They are very superstitious, and are
profound believers in ghosts and magic.

call onutkoots, are greater humbugs

The Umbrella in Early Times.

In eastern countries, from the earli-
est times, the umbrella was one Of the
insignia of royalty, and on the sculp-
lures OF Egypt and Nineveh there are
representations of kings going in pro-
cession with umbrellas over their heads
To this day, in most eastern climes,
the umbrella has a significance which
has never been given 70 it mere. Upon
state occasions natives of importance
of India, China, Japan or Persia would
never think of appearing without this
emblem of dignity.
