WEEDS AND FLOWERS.
Miriam Nicholson Finds Both of
Them In the Woman's Con-
greSS.

One of the cleverest women in the con-
gress said a very true thing the day it
opened.
"The new woman" said Eliza Upper
Wilkes, "has come, and with her her carl
catures; the exaggerations, the cranks who
accompany every movement and itali-
cize it,"
The speakers of the congress, of course,
are the flowers of this strange new plant
which has grown up in the United States
That there should also be weeds and wild
varieties of the same species is not surpris-
ing.
The women who are talking to thousands
of people every day at the First Congrega-
tional Church are OF three kinds: those
who are actuated only by conviction, those
who love notoriety for it's own sake and
those who have the brains and ability to
think clearly and to act honestly and sim
cerely and to talk entertainingly.
The first class embraces those wcll-mean-
ing followers, whose tactless enthusiasm is
cross which all reformers must bear the
second comprises those to whom insignifi-
canoe is worse than death. and the third is
the soul of new womanhood, the model
which others will see and copy, the fittest
which will survive, the best and strongest
argument for woman suffrage.
Miss Anthony has convictions so strong
that they have outiived and triumphed
over ridicule, failure, vituperati ton and old
age. She has seen the world grow up to
her ideas, and now she occupies unique
position in women's affections. Miss An
thony is woman OF strong intelligence,
of enduring friendships, of wide expert
ence. Like other veterans she loves to tell
of the battle she has won, but this is done
SO impersonally, SO modestly and with
such honest feeling, that even he who does
not approve of the victory must needs APP
plaud the victor.
Miss An thony has talked on various sub
jects in the congress, but for her all roads
must lead to the one destination. In her
opinion woman suffrage is VITAL is immi-
nent, is the step which must be taken be-
fore further travelling is possible. Miss
Antnony's style of address is not at all
elegant. 1t is Enthusiastically sincere; it is
destitute of pretentious airs and graces; it
is thoroughly self-unconscious. She deals
with practical things in homely way. If
she is at a loss for word she is not at all
ashamed to ask for it; if she loses the
thread of her argument she acknowledges
it; if the phrases and fashions OF modern

Johnnie are traps that no mother has ever
sanctioned. He sees the very vices against
which she has cautioned him, and John
nis begins to think that mother is a good
woman, but that woman do not under
stand that men must be measured by
mans standard. And so Johnnie goes
and does the very thing his mother has
urged him not to do. He would risk his
life by fire or flood for her, but very few
boys are going to measure their lives by
woman's standard.
"Why should not women vote? They
say it would drag woman down to the
level of men. The ant-suffraeists are very
complimentary to men, you see. Well,
men are on all levels. Some are in the
depths and some are on the heights. We
live with them 365 days in the year, and
we go hand in hand with them to our mu-
tual profit. Then what is there a bout poll

time was found dead at his home, his

was intelligent and good taiker,
while Mary exerted herself to please
her fathers guest, whose power and
connection with his business she well
knew. For the next two months Car
ter was constant visitor. Soon pres
ents came streaming in, fine piano
replacing her little MelodeOn, music
books, fruit and flowers were daily
forwarded, and under these seductive
influences Mary McCauley developed
u warm regard for the givcr. She had
abundant warning as to his character;
the housekeeper knew him well and
hated him vcllemently, and did her
best to put the girl on her guard.
In the meantime her fathers affairs
were becoming more involv ed, and he
owed Carter more than the value Of
his plant, and was desperate at the
ruin that was Inevitable.
One day Carter made Il demand for
his money, showing that further ad-
vances were out of the question. He
took supper with the family, and that
night had long conversation with his
debtor, much of which was overheard
by Mrs. Morgan.
Carter spoke of Mary's future, how
insecure it was. of the great interest
he took in her welfare. He had no
children, and had come to look upon
her as a daughter. He was going to
Europe, and would take her with him,
and could give all the needed opportu-
nifty to, complete her musical ednca-
ton. In the meantime he would as
slst McCauley in t;ding over the worst

debtor saw but one thing-a respite
from ruin. His soul was on fire with
greed, and he sold his daughter for
the rich mans gold. And Carter left.

Cauley was called down stairs and
her father told her his situation and
Carter's offer. Neither was deceived,
and when they parted, Lever to meet
again, the girls face was white and
drawn, and she told the housekeeper,
in few words, that it was all ar
ranged. The woman begged and
pleaded with her to leave home at
once, but Mary replied that it was too
late, and SO they parted. Next morn.
Ing Carter came with fine carriage,
and Mary, without parting word to
any, left her home for a future Of un-
paralleled shame and. disaster.

TIMES WITH WOLVES.

How u Father and Two Sons Kept
Hungry Beasts At bay Until HclpA
Came.
When my grandfather was young
man he made a journey on horseback
from his home in Indiana far DOWN
into Louisiana; and when he had
grown very old he enjoyed telling the
adventures, which were the chief part
Of his experience on the lonely ride
through the wilderness. Somewhere
in Alabama he passed the night at q
cabin occupied by pioneer family,
and while lie and the host were smok-;
ing at the fire and discussing troubles
and dangers, the following story was
offered for my grandfather's delecta-
ton:
A man by the name of Turner and
his two sons, John and James, aged,
respectively. thirteen and fifteen, left
their homes to go to mill. each carry
ing a sack of corn on his shoulder.
They had to go on foot, because Of the
steepness of the path which led over
the mountain.
Owing to an unusual amount Of
grain already in when the Turner's ar
rived with their grists. it was after
nightfall before they were able to set
out for home with their meal on their
backs. Meantime, a snowstorm had
come up and the ground was covered
three or four inches deep with snow,
while the flakes still fell thick and
fast. Mr.. Turner led the way. AL
though the path vas covered up, he
knew every landmark On the mount
ain, and Notwithstanding his heavy
load of meal, to which he had added
the weight of small quarter of fresh
venison, bought of the miller, he went
briskly along, followed by the lads.
They never once thought Of danger
until the whining snarl Of a wolf
sounded close to them. This was just
as they reached the highest rocky
comb Of the mountain, where theffor-
est was thin and stunted.
'.Boys, keep close to me-" said Mr..
Turner: chats a wolf"

twice told; they pressed their fathers
