From the "Dawning Of the Twentieth Century
"The destiny of the world today lies
in the hearts and brains of its women.
Tha world cannot travel upward faster
than the feet of its women are climb
ing paths of progress. Put us back if
possible, veil us in burdens, take from
us all knowledge, make us beasts of
burden, teach us we have no souls or
brains and the earth goes back to the
dark ages. The nineteenth century is
closing over world arising out of
bondage. 1t is the sublimest closing
of any century the world has ever be-
held. The nations of the earth have
seen, and are still looking at that lnmi-
nous writing in the heavens, the truth

time are gathering to themselves the
true significance of liberty. The free
dom that endureS comes not with clash
of arms and din Of battles. The vic.
tory that is lasting is not gained on
bloody battle fields or by selfish arbi-
tratiOn of scheming men. Blood and
battles may be the means to an end,
but the liberty of the sons of God

WHAT FlREMEN FIND.
They Pick Up Curious Articles Sometimes.
A Touching Incident.


"Well, sir, said stalwart looking
fireman the other day, "we fellows don t
have much time for looking about for
finds when house is burning and per-
haps peoples lives are at stake, yet we
do come across things occasionally.
"a brother wearer of the brass helmet
used to tell how he was once at fire
and big one, too--and in making his
way through the house positively saw
bank notes burning away like so many
pipe lights. He picked up as many as he
possibly could, stuffed them in his pock-
cts and went ON with his work. After
the confiagration had ceased the man
who was left in charge picked mp among
the embers an old fashioned pepper box
black and charred-filled with silver
dollars, and further search brought
him to q number Of rare old silver
spoons.

genuine Stradivarius-a violin worth
several hundreds Of dollars-while dia-
monds and other jewelry have been
saved in plenty.
Indeed there are thousand and one
things fireman finds and saves, though
perhaps that which gave me the greatest
satisfaction was an old rag doll. 1T was

THE STORY OF A PORTRAIT.
How the Painting Was Rescued From q
Ignominious Fate.

Ignominious Fate.
Probably Chicago's first painting with
history was an excellent portrait Of one
Of her fairest oitizens-a belle of 1887.
Fine work as it was, however, at one
time there was imminent danger Of its
becoming a decorative signboard Of a
prominent local livery stable.
Long before the days of the iron horse

it was with propriety that she proposed

and waving numberless plumes, disport

The artist had fine subject. Need
less to say he rendered it full justice
When the canvas was finished, the i'm
pressive ensemble was placed upon ex
hibition in the artist studio, and every
body who was anybody dropped in and
lavished his admiration upon it. After
time the novelty of the display wore
off. People had seen all they wanted Of
it, but the fair equestrienne's portrait
still hung upon its creators walls, un

THE EMPTY HOUSE.
The ancient apple tree that stands

The ancient apple treo that stands
Beside the black, decaying caves
Once more has both her crooked hands
Half full of Maytime flowers and leaves.
But the old gray house where the gold haired
children
Blossomed out from window and door
At the early kiss of the warm May sunshine
The old gray house will bloom no more.
In that old apple tree again
Their loving nest the bluebirds NIL;
They MARBLE to the mild spring rain.
With music soft the mornings thrill,
But the old gray house with her vacant win
dows,
Where never rosy cheek Is pressed,
Where all is silence and void and shadow,
No birds come back TO her empty nest.

young poet had written a most sour
rllous poem, In which he had described
and libeled not only the empress, but
also the grand dukes and duchesses.
Some one, the censor of the press, went
and told the empress.
''The man had better be sent of to
Siberia at once" he said; at is not a
case for delay"
20, no." said the empress, wait a
little, but tell the man desire to see
him at 6 O'Clock tomorrow evening"
When the poor man was told this he
felt as If the last hour had come and
that the emperor alexander H. must in
tend himself to pronounce eternal exile.
He went to the palace and was shown
through all the grand staterooms, one
after another, without seeing any one,
till at alst he arrived at a small COM
monplace room at the end of them all,
where there was single table with a
lamp upon it, and here he saw the en-
press, the emperor and all the grand
dukes and duchesses whom he had men
toned in the poem.
"How do you do, sir?" said the en-
peror. II hear you have written q most
beautiful poem, and have sent for you
| that you may read 1t aToud to us your
self, and 1 have invited all the grand
dukes and duchesses to come that they
may have the pleasure of hearing you."
Then the poor man Frustrated himself
at the emperor's feet.
"Send me to Siberia, SIRE" he SAID;
force me to become soldier, only dc
not compel me to read that poem"
20, SIR you are cruel to refuse me the
pleasure, but you will not be so ungal-
liant as to refuse the empress the pleas
ure Of hearing your verses and She
will ask you herself"
And the empress asked him. When he
had finished she said:
II do not think he will write any
more verses about us again He need
not go to Siberia just yet"

ABUSE OF BICYCLING.

Whoever has glided along smooth
boulevards or pleasant country reads on
the swift but tractable steei of the
pneumatic tire knows well the thrill and
pleasure of bicycling and its merits as
an outdoor exercise. The number of ne
thusiastic wheelers is increasing by
thousands every year. To countless pale
cheeks and listless eyes the exercise is
bringing the glow of health and the
light of keen enjoyment. 1t cannot be
questioned that the bicycle possesses the
potentiality of immense good, and for
that reason 1T Is all the more to be re-
GREETED that abuses should spring up in
connection with 1t that threaten to
make the use of the wheel a public
nuisance of great proportions and in
many cases positive menace to Nfe.
A fatal accident to a cyciist in New
York City recently, and innumerable
other serious mishaps, call attention to
the fact that reckless riding is
fast becoming the rule, particular
ly among boys and men. With
the easy confidence resulting from
proficiency they wheel a rapid and de-
Wious course among vehicles, forgetting
that to so many horses the bicycle is a
mysterious apparition, and apt to cause
them to shy and plunge, with danger to
both the rider and those In the carriage.
An even more Objectionable feature Of
the riding of many is the habit of lean
ing far over and spinning along through
crowded thoroughfares at a high rate
of speed, with eyes fixed upon the
ground, and apparently obivlous of sur
roundlngs. Public indignation will
surely be aroused and bcydling de-
.buhced unless this heediessness for
the safety of others ceases. 1t would be
pity If the very best Of sports and
exercises, and one moreover that is
adapted and beneficial to women as to
men, to girls as to boys, should fall into
dsrepulte because of the thoughts ssness
of some of its followers. 1t Is probable
chat public bicycle paths, which have
already been provided in few cities,
will become general; but as yet the rider
must use the road common to all W.
hcles He has right there and the
drivers of horses must give him room;
but 1t especially behooves him to be
careful and vigilant, in the interest both
of life and limb and of the exercise he
loves so well.-Demorest Magazine.
