TIME TO QUIT.

There is a time for all things, even
for legislatures to adjourn. The time
for the legislature to adjourn has come
and it should do So Through fiction
it has prolonged the present session
nearly a week beyond the time al
lowed by the constitution. The fiction
is winked at in most legislative bodies,
but they are usually careful not to
carry it to excess. The legislature is
carrying it to excess. Each day shows
that the legislature is no nearer the
completion of its work than it was
the day after it should have adjourned.
Disagreements, unfortunately, seem to
become greater rather than less, nor
is there that spirit of Cancellation and
compromise that should characterize
the legislature when it is running over
time. Perhaps the legislature cannot
bring its work to the perfection it
would like, but let it finish up what
is before it without further delay and
quit. The members cannot but see
that they are jeopardizing all of their
work that they have done since last
Thursday by the course they are now
pursuing. They have made good
record up to date, and their work will
be approved by the people. Let the
legislature adjourn this very Gay and
the members return to their homes
and mingle with their constituents.

AMERICAN WIVES.

Replying to some criticisms on Amer
lean women as wives, the New York
Commercial Advertiser says:
But the test of a woman's good quail
ties as a wife and mother cannot be
made by her conduct at a bargain
counter or on the platform of her ia
vorite club. That American women
are so eager to obtain bargains should
be one vindication, at least, against
the charge of their extravaganza. 1t
is in the home alone. however, that
they can be fairly judged. and few of
their critics can study them in their
own sitting rooms and nurseries. The
average American wife knows as much
about the state of her husbands eX
chequer as the average Englishwoman
or F'renchwoman. She knows as much
about good housekeeping as her lauded
foreign sister, but she refuses to make
either economy or housewifery the
paramount object of married life. In
short, she has a higher ideal of the
marriage relation than the business
ideal of the hausfrau ideal. After all,
American husbands are the only ones
who have the right to be critical in this
matter, because they are the most
deeply concerned. If they are satisfied
with their wives-and as a body they
appear to be-no dissenting voice can
be raised with pertinence."
American wives suit American men
and they are the people most inter
ested And in this country we think
that if there is any one growth under
our system of free government that is
finer than it is impossible to produce
under any other sky than that which
overhangs the United States, it is the
American woman. 1t is when Ameri-
can girls become dazzled with the So
cial life and titles of Europe that they
sometimes fail as wives. The Ameri-
can woman and the American wife are
all that man could wish; more than he
deserves.

CAME TOO LATE.
MILES ORDER WAS FAR TOO
LONG DELAYED.
England and Other Foreign Powers
Have Very Good knowledge of
Our Coast Defenses.

Chicago, March 15.-An Inter-Ocean
special from New York says:
Alarm is felt in military circles over
the belief that the order promulgated
to the army by Major-General Miles
on March s. that hereafter none but
officers in the service of those asso-
ciated with the work on the fortifica-
tions shall be permitted to visit the
lake or coast defenses of the United
States, has come too late to accomplish
the purpose intended. In other words.
the foreign governments which Il
sought to hold in ignorance of our
plans of national defense are already
in possession of the information.
For years it has been a matter OF
little difficulty for visitors to gain en-
trance to any of the defenses of the
United States and the army officers
in charge of the works at Forts Ham
ilton, Wadsworth, Schuyler and VIII
let's Point have been particularly ami
able in this regard.
Permits were not needed or asked
for and a stranger was seldom mo-
Tested or asked what his business was.
Writers for the press, photographers
in the employ of the magazines, and
others were permitted to come and go
almost at will and left undisturbed to
take copious notes and pictures OF
the WORKS. Inc result Has DcSIl lli1iI
the knowledge thus obtained has been
spread broadcast and the people of
the United States have probably a
more thorough knowledge of the de-
lenses of their government than the
citizens of any other country have of
theirs.
1t is not the practice of the British
admiralty while English diplomats are
getting black in the face from shout
ing Historically for peace and arbi-
tration, 10 recall their spies or dismiss
their experts who keep tab on the
growth of the armies and navies of
their rivals.
1t is said on good authority that
England has a more thorough knowl
edge of our coast defenses than any
other European power. Be that as it
may, the new order of things will
probably prevent any civilian from
visiting any of the many works of ma
tional defense about New York. The
order not only applies to the defenses
on the sea coast. but to those on the
great lakes.

THE LEGEND OF THE FALLS OF
ST. ANTHONY.

Years ago. in early history,
| OF our well-beloved Minnesota;
When the Sioux Indians came
| From the prairie lands of Dakota,
Came to our state
| Our glorious minnesota
| And settled near the wild
Enchanting st. Anthony. so blue;
| Where . legend is connected
| Very strange, but true.
| OF dark-haired Indian mother
And her baby child.
Who lie. sleeping to this day.
Beneath its waters so cruel and wild
The sun had just faded.
Far behind the dark trees.
And the birds and the bees.
Homeward IN silence do flee:
The nightingale'S song in the distance
Is tunefully and sweetly heard
With joy and with "a Dture.
Sings on. this melodious bird,
The pale moon slowly rises
And sheds :ts soft beams
Ger the quiet and peaceful
Clear running streams
When the Sioux Indian mother
Launched her little canoe
And It glides softly off
With these happy two.
AS the little canoe glides onward
o. er the streams silvery cress.
The Indian mother fondly folds
Her child to her breast.
She to her loved one sings
Some quaint lullaby; fa..
AS the stars in the heavens
Peep out one by one from the darkened
sky: Ia
Onward. onward, onward.
The little canoe rides ih
Surely and onward into the rapids,
The little canoe glides
But the poor Indian mother.
Her danger ne'er gives thought
Or the cruel death that she upon
Herself and her child has brought.
She is fondly and tenderly
Wrapped uD in her child:
That she hears not the roar
In the distance, of st. Anthony. so wild;
Suddenly, the little canoe,
Twists, turns and creakSi
Alarmed at her danger the mother
Scracely word can sneak;
Tightly she clasps her child
More tightly to her breast
Upon her face. looks of horror,
OF sorrow and Distress
Suddenly the canoe reaches
The edge of the cruel falls.
Aha, a shriek,-the canoe dashes over,
The canoe, the mother, child and all.
The sun rose next morning
So bright and so clear;
And the birds sang in the tree branches,
AS if they knew not a care nor fear;
Still the falls of st. Anthony
Onward and onward they flow
Rushing. roaring and dancing
AS to the fatherly sea they do.
Time has worn,
The forests have faded;
Where once the Indian and settler,
Years ago together, have traded,
Where once the dark Indian.
Had happily once, loved to roam
Soon into large wheat fields.

Still time has worn onward.
And the fields, too have disappeared;
The scene we now behold
Our forefathers heart has cheered.
For our eyes now bcrioid two cities
So wondrous and fair
With their sorrows and trials
and cares.

legitimate as to comment upon them

printing peoples portraits without

People whose names figure in the daily
