the possibilities within reach of his
rod and line.

ankle twisted out Of joint. He is
now at the Avenue house under good
care.

prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Ed
ward 7. Fairbanks.
The service at the North church
opened at 1890. but long before
that time people began to come to
the church to gain admittance. The
church was crowded to its fullest
capacity and hundreds of people
could not gain admittance. The
workmen at the scale works were
seated on one side of the church. The
casket was placed just below the
pulpit, and was surrounded by beau
tiful floral tributes. A large design,
Gates Ajar," was given by the en-
ployes at the scale works, and the
directors OF the two copper mines,
the Boston & Montana and the
Tamarack, sent wreaths. Col. Fair.

COME HOMIE.

The Register envious Of the Journa
and Couriers beatitude, spitefully as
serts that we find happiness in reveal
ing ignorance. If this were so, and If
we were not already happy enough, we
could daily add much to our felicity
by revealing some of the Registers ig-
norance.
But however. In its curious and flu
tile attempt to find even an indirect
palliation of Democracy the Register
has travelled far. Last evening 1t was
in Japan and was apparently greatly
pleased with the country. 1t found
much patriotism and much bravery
there 1t also discovered that "cheap
noise, smoke and bad odors" abound
there, just as they do in the Democra-
ey of this country And then 1t remark
ed that if China had exported fewer
f1recrackers to Japan she might not now
beAin the humiliating position in which
she finds herself
We shall not try to push the Register
any further than Japan, and we hereby
invite it to come home. 1t will want to
be here on Firecracker day, and if 1t
doesn't hurry back it wont be. Come
home, neighbor, and do not stay so far
away from the Democracy you profess
to admire and love. Seek no more to
find nations that are built up on and
maintained by Cheap noise, smoke and
bad odors." Is it not enough that the
Firecracker party is in power in this
country and that firecrackers will be
cheap next month? Come home so that
we can joy in seeing thee on the Fourth
of July cautiously lighting the fuse
of the cheap firecracker, daintily toss
ing it into the air and uttering pretty
little screams when it goes off. Come
home and take your fun part in the
sustaining of free institutions by ''cheap
noise, smoke and bad odors" thus imi-
tating the party whose faithful servant
you are
There is also another reason why you
should come home. Your street is fall
ing in, and it needs a better foundation,
just as your old Firecracker party does.
Come home and attend to it.

of avoiding for children the most
marked characteristics of their elders

it stamps her as wee lady of fashion

ape her elders. For this dress the rose

CRUE1 AND SELFISH MIR. COLE

Mr.. Daniel Cole of Jersey City steps
into the foreground, and will attract
some attention because he represents in
himself much that is now being thought
and talked about Mr.. Cole was mar
ried some years ago. and is still mar
ried, although he will not be so much
longer il his wife succeeds in impress
ing the court with her idea that he
has been "intolerably cruep to her.
There was time when he seemed kind
to her, but now he is monster of
cruelty. And there was time when
she seemed kind to him, but now she
is New Woman. Mr. Cole denies that
he has been cruel to her, and he goes
further and says she has been cruel
to him, He vigorously declares that IL
either Of them is entitled to a divorce
he is the one. He says that his wife
didn't attend to her domestic duties.
She is a member Of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, the Kings
Daughters, the Epworth League, the
Daughters of Temperance, and other
church organizations, and her time was
SO much occupied that she was only at
home when she was asleep. He was
obliged either to prepare his own meals
or to eat at a restaurant. Mr., Cole
says that he and his wife could live
happily if she would devote more at
tention to her HOUSEHOLD affairs and less
to the church organizations. 4
Some will sympathize with Mr.. Cole,
but those who believe in the New
Woman will see at once that he is
nothing but man and therefore cam
not comprehend Sister Cole and her
mission. What has she to do with
him when the whole world is calling
to her to- remake and improve it? Why
should he stand in the way of Progress?
Must she be asked to sew on buttons
or cook for one man while the whole
human race is crying for her? We
trow not. Mr.. Cole has indeed been
cruel and unutterably sell
fish in trying to place obstacles in the
way Of the full and beneficent devel-
opment of Sister Cole and the conse- |
quent blessing thereof to mankind. |
Mrs. Cole has done him too much honor |
by even sleeping in his house and think |
ing some of her great thoughts there.
If he could appreciate her he would |
not be complaining as he is, but he |
would long ago have learned how to |
cook and keep house so that Mrs. Cole |
could have had a good place to go to |
when her efforts in behalf of the world |
had made her so tired that she had to
90 somewhere for rest. We suppose it
s too late now, and Mr.. Cole doesn't |
appear to be a man who can learn
EASILY. But his case may be instructive
o other men who find themselves SINH
arly situated. If the New Woman will

the story in his own words: do you
ever go to sleep, George?" mo, sir
don't go to sleep; but tell you what,
sir, l thinks the fish sleep of nights
that's my experience of 'em. I've been
out thousands of nights, and I've al
ways observed as one particular hour
Is Inherent from any other hour of a
night, and that's between twelve and
| one. The fish never bites at that time,
| and after that hour is over they begins
again, and keeps on till daylight; but
before that hour they always fishes
SLACK, and can sleep between twelve
and one If likes, for it's no use heaY-
ing the line overheard; but after the
CLOCK strikes one the fish won't let me

That's what makes me think the fish

the top of the water"
