minded, and intuitive; she knows Miss Willard's plans and work thor oughly, having been more constantly associated with her than any other woman in the organization. Mrs Stevens has not the same wonder full magnetism which characterized her predecessor, but she is very gen tie and womanly, yet withal firm; she is approachable, courteous and we'll bred, while the quiet dignity of her manner carries with it the conviction Of strong will capable of holding its own. She is rather small and light with black hair in which there is scarcely line of gray, and deep hazel eyes which have a way of looking through an individual and reading his character very accurately. Mrs. Stevens looks somewhat frail, but while in her younger days she was ac- counted delicate, since taking up her life work she has grown stronger. She is member of the Congregational church, and in her own home at Port land, Me, is well known as friend at the police station, and Friendly Inn, the Firing Woman's Refuge, and the jail
 Mrs. Stevens was born at Dover, Maine, in 1s44. She spent her early womanhood as q teacher, and married at the age of 21. In her husband she found hearty and sympathetic com rade in all temperance and reform work, and later on, in her only daugh- ter. Gertrude, now Mrs. Levitt, of Port land, Me.
 ! Mrs. Stevens has always been n woman suffragist. Even as a child she observed that the times were tout of joint" and felt that this was largely due to the fact that humanity is un- equally deyeloped in the two fractions which make dp the fnteger, When in 1876 Miss Willard introduced into the white ribbon ranks the unwelcome discussion of the ballot for women as the most helpful method of temper ance reform and led the argument for four years in the great conventions, Mrs. Stevens was one of her stanchest md most helpful allies, aud it was at this time that their friendship was cemented by that unbreakable bond forged in the furnace of contradic- 4ion.
 In 1892 Mrs. Stevens was appointed one of the lady managers of the worlds fair and had entire charge of preparing Maine's exhibit of charities Ind corrections (homes, hospitnsA

He Said Too Much.

Here" said the hostess, at recent Colonial club function, T want to in- troduce you to Miss Brinkstone.'
 The gentleman bowed very politely, but Miss Birthstone smiled and said:
 ''oh. I guess that Mr Wandsley and I hardly need to be introduced to each other. He is an old friend of mine"
 sYes," he added, T shall always re- gard Miss Birthstone as one of the dearest friends have. She once de- clined to become my wife"
 It was several hours later when he succeeded in guessing why Miss Brink stones air had suddenly become so cold and distans.--Cleveland Leader.

In November the Women's Christian Temperance union will meet in na- tional convention at Minneapolis to elect the successor to Frances B. Will lard, as president. There is no doubt as to who this will be. The unanimous choice is Mrs. Lillian Nj. N. Stevens, now acting president.
 Mrs. Stevens has been identified with the work of the union since 1874. In the summer of that year Miss Willard went to Old Orchard, Me, to speak on temperance, and there Mrs. Stevens assisted her i'll the organization of the Maine union. She became its treas urer, and after three years was elected president. Tn 1894, Mrs. Stevens was made vice president at large by Miss Willard, an office created at the com vention held that year in Cleveland. Many members of the union consider this prophetic appointment. For some time Miss Willard had been in delicate health, and was undoubtedly looking forward to the time when she would be obliged to lay down the yoke of service. She wished Mrs. Stevens to become her successor, and the or ganization which loved and reverenced Miss Willard, are rallying as one woman around the president of her choice.
 In some ways the new leader re- sembles the old; she is earnest, broad

These war times have tried men,s 5. in many unexpected ways, but like a s of sunshine and good cheer out of the @ of prlvation and endurance has beenSz work that The American Tobacco Cd done among the U. S. Soldiers and SA5 ever since the war began-for when f| discovered that the camps and hoss;i were not supplied with tobacco they@ eided to provide them, free of cost, enough for every man, and have alre given outright to our Soldiers and Saa over one hundred thousand pounds of sa Ak Plug and Dukes Mixture" SmoE Tobacco, and have bought and distribl fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a cost of between fifty and sixty thousand lars.
 This work has been done quietly thoroughly, by establishing headquar in each camp, so that every camp and e hospital of the United States Army been supplied with enough tobacco every man and the sailors on th United States Ships in Cuban waters shared with the soldiers this most wec of all "rations."

Temple. The Temple is put up on leased land owned by MT. Marshall Field, and on him most members of the union are throwing the responsibility of the "Femple" ownership. The scheme for building it originated with Mrs. Matilda Carse, of Chicago, some 12 years ago, and has as purpose the proving of woman's ability to carry on great business concerns. Mrs. Carse is making tremendous efforts to save the building to the union, but it is likely that the opposition will throw the deciding vote.

For three years she was treas urer of the National Council of Women of the United States, and upon voluntarily resigning from that posi- tion was placed in the cabinet of the council and given the portfolio of moral reform.
 No woman in the organization is more loyal to its fundamental prinei- pies; none possesses to so great de- gree the universal confidence of it's friends, men and women, and the good will of it's opponents, than Mrs. Ste- vens, of Maine"
 The National W. c. T. U. may well congratulate themselves on the fact that this level-headed woman will take the helm in place of their beloved Miss Willard, for there are stormy days ahead. At the coming convention it must be decided if the Woman's Tenn pie of Chicago will be abandoned or whether it shall be retained as a me- moria1 to Frances E. Willard. Every effort is being made to raise sufficient money to put the building under the control of the N. ". c. T. U., yet noth- ing but absolute failure is in sight. This is due largely to the fact that temperance women throughout the country will not recognize the respon- sibility of the national union for the
