As to the Word "Obey.''
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.


"Wives do not realize the strain
under which a business man lives.
l know 1 can tell when my hus-
band has been in his office late.
He comes home utterly tagged out.
His face is pale and worn, and l
know right away that he has miss
ed his usual hour or two at the
club"
"Then you don't mind it when
your husband goes to the club"
81 am sorry when he does not.
He tries to get out of the office
about 80 and get up to the Lotos
for an hour before dinner, and that
helps him to get figures and bust
ness out of his mind"
"When you were married did
you promise to obey your hus-
band?p
az don't remember. 1 hope 1
did"
"Why~
"Because that is one of the sweet
est things in the world, isn't it, to
obey some one you love? 1t has
never come to the point between
us, but am sure l should be very
glad to obey my husband"
"You say that wife should treat
her husband as a lover or comrade.
Which is better, that husband
and wife should be lovers or that
they should be comrades"
"Better that they should be
lovers, Of course. But many hus-
bands and wives begin as lovers
and afterwards change. If they
must change-oh, l don't know.
1t is a great question. l have
thought about it and written about
it in all its phases, and it still re-
mains a great problem"

FINISHED POETRY
Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy s
 Factor In Its Production.

Patient Labor ns Much as Fine Frenzy
 Factor In Its Production.
 There are yet some persons left who fancy that poetry is the product of a fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes from a sublimated eataleptic trance to fill page after page with effortless beatitudes A number of manuscript sheets of Longfellow's $ Excelsior, v which may be found in Harvard, should not only explode this theory, but give hope to many a discouraged amateur. As Longfellow first constructed the first verse of this poem it ran:
 The shades of night were falling fast
 As through an Alpine Village passed
 A youth who, as the peasants sung,
 Responded in an unknown tongue,
 Excelsior.
 This was manifestly weak, as the only obvious reason why tIre Alpine peasants sung was that they might af- ford rhyme for the youth s response ill an unknown tongue. A second trial at the verse; however, not only failed to improve it, but arranged it in such form that it is difficult to believe Long fellow guilty of the fault, The last two lines of the verse were made to read:
 A youth who bore pearl of price,
 4 banner with the strange device.
 There are not many, even among the magazine poets of today, who would consent to refer to banner as "a pearl of price. '' But the poet had by this time three lines to his liking, and the substi- tuition of "a youth who bore mid snow and ice" completed the verse as it has been read and spoken throughout the length and breadth of the land, all of which goes to show that the genius of the poet is in the conception, and that the production of the poem. being quite another matter, lies solely i'll the direc- tion of patient labor.

 der on Big Scoop.
 As funny thing as I ever knew of in the newspaper business, said the re- formed reporter was the way Sandy Mclean gave the Chicago Tribune 8 scoop. Now, Sandy, to my way of think ing, is the best reporter in Chicago He was 8 lawyer once, and mighty good one, but he saw that the law had no such opportunities as the newspaper business, and he came to Chicago from the Iowa town where he was practicing and began work on one of the big dailies. He hadn { been there week be- fore the managing editor realized that he had star, and Sandy was given ev- cry opportunity to make himself name
 He made it too. He was put on big story after big story and beat every oth- CT reporter i'll the city After time he got to The Tribune and kept up his bril- liant work He was with The Tribune for long time The Herald and other papers wanted him, but Sandy stuck to The Tribune He got bit free and gay, but the old man put mp with him. Fi- naffy patience ceased to be q virtue, and one day Sandy drifted into the office only to be told that they thought they might be able to get out paper without him if they hustled.
 He went out whistliHg gayly and walked over to The Herald office. He told them The Tribune people had just fired him and asked for a job The Her ald was too glad to get him. They snap ped him up right aySay. The next day Sandy reported for an assignment. The city editor of The Herald put him on a big story he had been keeping on the ice for awhile and told Sandy that it was exclusive.
 Sandy went out and got the facts. He found that he was the first and only newspaper man who knew anything about the tale, and it was corker. He started back to the office to write it up. He had been so used to going to The Tribune office that he mechanically got off the car there and walked up into the local room He sat down at his old desk, wrote the story and handed it to the city editor The city editor saw that the story was sensational, put scare head on it and ran it on the first page. The Tribune was the only paper that had it, and Sandy did not wake up to what he had done until he had got a note from The Herald city editor next morning calling him all sorts of names and dis charging him. He got back on The Tribune, though, and he's there yet. :" Buffalo Express

Neg Perce Horses Followed Their Leadei
 Over the Cliff

BOUGHT FREEDOM WITH DEATH. Nez Perce Horses Followed Their Leade4
 Over the Cliff
 The hardy little Neg Perce horse is quite well known ill way, but few people know what remarkable courage and sagacity he has. When the Indian war swept the Neg Perce country, the Indians gathered about 5, GOO horses into valley that fronted on the steep bluffs of the Columbia river, and there, with the great white mountains at their back, prepared to make their last des- perate stand
 In the battle that followed they were defeated, and the small fraction of them that remained unkilled put to flight. The horses. shut in by the steep moan- tains on the one side and the steep river bluff on the other. had to be left behind.
 When the battle had closed, the sol diers of the volunteers (for only part were regulars) made a rush for tho horses, but they conld not lay hands on one of them or approach them.
 And now for the first time it was no- ticed that they were under boy herder The boy was unarmed, entirely naked and as red as copper.
 The boy had no bridle, but wove his hands into the mane, and thus guided his black horse at will at the head of the herd.
 The volunteers dropped on their knees here and there around the edge of the circle and began to fire at tho boy. At last bullet struck him. His body flew high into the air and then fell and rolled i'll the dust
 The horses now divided as they came by. Their nostrils were distended at the smell of blood, and their eyes ablaze at the sight of their young keeper in the dust.
 On the second round, after tho boy fell, the black leader seemed to run sidewise, his eyes fastened to his little dead master until they looked frightful from under the black mane.
 He plunged on around and came to the very edge of tho beetling basalt bluff Then there was q sight as of q seulptured image of a horse poised ill midair, and a mad, wild cry, such as Q horse makes but once-a cry indesorib- able-that filled the valley
 Men looked away, and when they looked back the black statue was gone Then, faithful to the leader, over the bluff into the foaming white water went another horse
 And then 10, 50, 5oo. the whole 5,0O0l Not one of all tho herd was left to the invading vietors, and the stream was literally ehoked with the dead. - Joaquin Miller.

FOR A PUBLIC MEETING. 1
French Residents Deeply Grieved
Over the Tragedy.

The assassination of President Car
not has aroused feelings OF the utmost
horror and Indignation among the MEM
bers of the French colony in New York
The general belief is that Santo muir
dered the President out Of n feeling OF
revenge because Carnot refused pardon
to Valiant, the bomb-thrower, who was
recently gui.lotined in Paris The French
residents also think that no information

Joseph Thoron, President Of the So
ciety Franchise de Renaissance, the
leading French society of New York,
stated this morning that he knew of no
arrangements that have been made for a
public expression by French residents OF
their sentiments on the assassination.
He intended to see the French Consul
to-day about the matter. Mr.. Thoron
said that meeting had been called for

sault on President Carnot, which he
learned on his arrival home from church
last night.
Gen. Harrison appeared stunned for
an instant, but quickly recovered his
equanimity and expressed his deep sor-
row, which he said went out to Republi-
can France at this time. "It is" said
he. "tha spirit of Anarchy which has
caused an assassin to raise his hand
against the French President"
Gen Harrison continued: II believe the
immediate move must be revenge for
the recent execution of Anarchists at
Paris. ! presume there could have been
no pretense of IA grievance against Presi-
dent Carnot personally.
But the act, dreadful as 1t is, can
not, l believe, affect the stability OF the
French Republic. 1t has seemed to me
