work Of nearly 90 years ago, when
through her efforts the British Woman .
Temperance union was organized, had
not been forgotten, and the reception ac-
corded her when she spoke at the City
Temple amounted to an ovation.
Mrs. Stewart is a native Of Ohio and
was born at Piketon April 25, 1916.
She was left an orphan at and thrown
apon her own resources. Early she de-
veloped those sterling characteristics
which made her so useful in educational
and reform work. She VIA educated ut
Marietta seminary and adopted teaching
as profession, attaining a representa-
tive standing among the educators Of
the state.
She has been twice married, the sec
ond time to Hiram Stewart, who was a
stanch advocate Of the temperance
principles she advocated and greatly as
sisted her in the work. She had no chill
dren OF her own, but took TO her moth
erly heart the two sons Of her second
husband, conscientiously devoting her
self to their education and moral devel-
opmeut. The husband and sons went to
the front when the war came, and later
inpelled by strong sense Of duty, she
also went to the scene Of action and ten
derby cared for the sick and wounded
soldiers. 1t was these loving ministra-
lions that earned for her the title Of
Mother Stewart. by which she always
loves to be called.
In 1872 Mrs. Stewart made a stirring
address before the first mass meeting in
Springfield, o., inaugurating the tenn
perance crusade, the influence Of which
has become felt throughout the length
and breadth OF the land About that
time several suits were successfully
brought against liquor sellers by the
wives OF drunkards under the Adair
civil damage law, and in a number Of
these cases Mrs. Stewart assisted the
prosecuting attorney, making vigorous
and effective appeals to the juries.
Mother Stewards effective work in
her own locality soon attracted wide at
tention, and she was in great demand az
. temperance lecturer and organizer
the country. Her benefcent
and effective temperance work has Gov
cred wide range Of activity, including
the writing Of books, periodicals and
newspaper articles. Her books arc

A THEORY,

Why do the violins shudder so
When across them Is drawn the bow,
Sob for anguish and wild despairr
Human souls are imprisoned there
Souls arc shut in the victims,
They are the souls of Philistines
But the Philistines, row on row,
Soulless sit and they do not know.
But they brandish their eyeglasses.
Stare at each others evening dresA
Scrutinize form or brilliant hue.
Bay, lis 10 rouge or Is IL true!"
"Some one was flas semitone,
And how stout the sopranos grown!
Isn't the bass dears And, oh,
Do look at Mrs So-and soi''
Still the musicians play serene.
As though Philistines had not been,
Bat their souls in the victims
Mourn on bitterly for their sins
Call them wildly and call In pain,
Call them with longing deep and vain,
And with infinite tenderness,
Since they can give them no redress
Since not one Of them Is aware
Here Is he and his soul is there,
In the music's divinest chord.
Making melody to the Lord
So how often in life and art
Soul and body must dwell apart
Grrat Is the masters soul, no doubt
Twenty Philistines 60 without
Are we body or are We souls
Little matter upon the whole.

A BREACH,
Alas' That Human Nature should h %
Weak.

Alasi That Human Nature should Re %
| Weak.
A South Side young man who some
times write 'erses had q friend who
| often paints lures.
Each Of IL IN, in addition to having
young wife and very young baby,
was satisfied that his particular branch
OF art was the most successful medium
for the expression Of the finer feelings
The two families lived in neighbor-
ing flats and were always very friendly.
The wives chatted together about the
best brand Of baby food, and the chill
dren rolled about ON the floor and claw
ed each others noses-the highest evil
dence of mutual esteem.
As rule, the two young men didn't
discuss art when they met, for they
knew that they couldn't agree ON the
subject So they argued ON the silver
question-for neither Of them knew
anything about it.
One evening the young man who
sometimes writes poetry called with his
wife and baby on the young man who
often paints pictures.
I'm writing some verses about my
baby" said the first young man.
We'll, I'm painting . picture Of
mine" said the second.
I'm tell you what III do" said the
poetry man. I'm write a poem about
your baby If you'll paint picture Of
mine"
Agreed. responded the artist readi.
". I'm do it,"
Then the families were together more
than ever, and the mothers COMPARED
their babies infinitely as to markings,
disposition, prospects and other things
At last the young man who sometimes
writes poetry finished his verses, and
the young man who often paints pic
lures finished his portrait. So far every
thing had been kept friendly secret.
The two families gathered one even
ing to hear the poetry and view the pic
ture. First each father showed what he
had done for his baby, and the whole
company went into ecstasies
Best thing you ever did, :" said the
poetry young man.
BEST thing you ever did," said the
artist.
Then they drew long breaths, and the
poetry young man read his poem about
his friends baby, and the artist showed
his picture of his friends baby.
There was silence.
"You didn't catch the delicate sug-
gestion Of intellectually in my baby"
said the wife of the poetry young man.
And you failed entirely to do jus
tice to my baby" said the wife Of the
artist. You can't see anything but
your own baby"
And then there were other words Of .
similar character. only more emphatic.
Presently the wife Of the poetry
young man gathered up her baby and
went home, followed by her husband.
Since that time the two families do
not know each other Chicago Record.

The girls and boys whose spoons are

OF course the distribution Of the spoons

First the gold is cast into oblong in

One hundred and fifty Of these pieces
