proudly archlng neck and defiant eye,

From the edge of the lake to the outer

in moss and looking as if they had always
grown there, were potted plants in bios

How much conversation could be en-

Mrs. Hodgson Burnett Gives Her Opin-
ion on the Subject.
In the admirable speech in which she
responded to the toast of her health at the
pleasant dinner given in her honor by the
Authors Club. Mrs. Hodgson Burnett
drew picture OF the woman of the future
thus:
II think it probable that, say a hundred
years from now woman may stand as
do in some such place as this the guest of
men who have done the work all the world
has known and honored, and she will be
the outcome of all the best and most Iogi-
cal thinking of all the most reasonable
and clear-brained men and women, women
and men, of these seething years. She
will know all the things have OF learned
and she will be woman so much wiser
and more stately of mind than could ever
hope to be; she will have so much more
brain, so much more fine and clear re eason.
that If we we're compared we should
scarcely seem to be creatures of the same
race. And of this woman say Good luck
to her. great happiness, fair fortunes, and
all the fullest ioyousness of living: all
kind fates attend her, all good things 10
her and to the men who will bes her
frieuds. "-Westminister Gazette.

Sound Money League Intends to Ex-

OAKLAND, CAL, Nov S.-The Sound
Money League of Oakland considers that
it ought in some way to testify to its ap-
probation of the services of Colonel John
P. Irish.
Within few days meeting will be
held and the matter taken in hand and
acted upon. No plans have vet been laid
and 1t Is not known whether the reception
will take the form of public meeting or a
banquet or what body shall have charge
OF the affair. But there is a strong feel
ing that Mr.. Irish's services to the cause
Of sound money demand recognition in
his home city.
Now that the colonel is at home, he is
full of funny stories of how he chased Mr.
Bryan on special trains, caught the same
crowd, how he got into railroad wreck
and out of it unscratched, and several
other interesting experiences, most of
which have been touched on in the tele-
graphic dispatches of his campaign.
