A Low. Sweet Voice, An Excellent
Thing In woman

American women have ra ther resent
ed the charge so frequently made
against them that they are unpleasant
ly loud-voiced in comparison to their
European sisters. But unfortunately
there is considerable truth in the
charge. Says writer in Southern
exchange:
If women needed half the good ad-
vice they read there would by this
time have been marked improvement
in their voices, but like the Mercedes,
who forever dipped up water in their
selves, the average woman takes in at
one ear and lets out at the other all
those little admonitions which she does
not wish to harken unto, and it is not
pleasant to be so often told that we
haven't charming voices like our Eng
1ish cousins.
The truth is not always pa1ata BILE,
but when it is the truth about some
thing quite in our power to remedy,
we ought really to be willing to mend
our ways. A woman who is conscious
that she speaks in a high-pitched, un-
natural key in common conversation
must also be conscious that she could
do otherwise if she chose. BY lower
ing the pitch tone or two, persistent
ly checking the impulse to break
bounds into shri11 staccato register,
that ends in veritab1e screech, you
may go on improving from day to day
till your friends begin to compliment
you on your mellow tones, and men
especially, will be quick to appreci ate
the charm of that ''low, sweet voice,
an excellent thing in woman
Along with grammatical correctness
of speech, why not insti1 the import
auce of equally cultivating the medium
through which verbal euphony is trans
mitted?
If this is neglected in the schools it
should surely not be SO in the home,
and the child after all, is certain to
catch its mothers way of talking, be |
it strident and. crude, or delightfully."- |
cultivated in tone and modified in |
those bristling RS that multiply them
selves in the mouths of Westerners
like burrs about the chestnut.
Soften your voice and you soften
your accent.

Why does Restored Confidence
confine his attention so much to the
price of wheat? The Haze1ton deputies
should be called out to prod him over
into the cotton belt. Secretary Gage
is practically national bank lobby
list. Secretary Cages recommenda-
tions: Retire the national, non-in-
terest bearing money and pay the
banks double interest for money in
place of it. The government is to
take all the risks and give the nation
al banks all the profit. Make a clean
field for national bank circulation by
outlawIng all other kinds of money as
fast and as far as partisan politics
and public indifference and ignorance
will permit. Lend the national banks
the governments credit to make mon.
ey out of it, virtually furnish these
banks capital enough and consequent
ly power enough to run the govern
ment and money matters in their own
interests. Lincoln feared the money
power more than he did rebellion.
Gold everything; labor nothing. The
mi1lionaire's property, gold, increased
in value by legislation. The 1aborers
property, labor, confscated in the in
terest of gold. All the above carried
out by hypocritica1 platforms and
promises and sophistica1 arguments.
Our big crops and scarcity abroad is
temporarily the effect of vicious legis-
lation. Klondike and the "balance of
trade" may modify the present strain,
but return to normal conditions will
eventually drag labor under and de-
stroy the republic.

Society I'm Chicago.

A well known literary lady writing
sketch of Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Washington and Chicago
society, charao terizing the peculiari-
ties of each city, has this to say of
society in Chicago:
Chicago has a society without ennui.
1t has four elements of success-great
wealth, wonderfully large and beauti-
full houses, very stimulating climate,
and company of educ ated and rein.
ed women. They are great travellers,
they know great deal, they have the
good temper and good will which be-
long to youth and health and prosper
ity. There is little envy, little gossip
and no detration in Chicago society.
They make it delightful for the
stranger within their gates.
Individually dinner or a lunch
party in Chicago is the most luxurious
thing possible. They have exhausted
the whole art of entertaining in their
handsome houses, which seem 10 be
all library, salon, dining-room and
baronia1 fireplace. Chicago was burn
ed down about twenty years ago; for
tunately for art, just as the renaissance
of interior decoration and artists re-
creation was at hand. Richa rdson.
Burne-Jones, William Morris, East
lake, and Richard Hunt stood ready to
blow The bellows which were to fan
the flame of this new fire of ambition,
which has been as reconstructive as
the old fire was destructive.
Chicago has always had a good
society. 1t was very fortunate in its
first pioneers. VIM. B. Ogden, one of
its most famous citizens, once told me
that none but good people ever came
to Chicago to stay. Whether he meant
that they pushed the unworthy ones
into the lake, l do not know. The
members of its society now, however,
are extremely agreeable, accomplish
ed, full of music, fond of art, and de
voted to literature. Never was there
a town which had less of the invidious
and insidious jealousy of c1iques. L
believe that there is more enjoyment
to be derived from social life in Chi
cago, if properly taken and understood
than any city in America excepting
Washington. The only thing that
could console one for living 100 years |
longer, would be to see what Chicago |
will be then. trust that shall be in |
some friendly planet in the neighbor-
hood, where can crafty reasonable

Can any one go up there? was the

No, signors, it is not safe, nor is

One can asc nd the Campani1e across

Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire continues to make a lonesome
but vigorous fight within the Republi-
can party against the single gold
standard. 1t is certain that he will
eventually either be forced to leave
the Republicans or be whipped into
line tor gold, and his true aud bold
words now ought to be preserved for
future reference. Senator Chandler's
paper, the Evening Monitor, of Con-
cord, N. H, recently contained the
following as leader under this cap
ton. IA good resolution for Repub-
licans is to demand and during 1898
struggle for bi-metallism. Every
man who works for wages should fight
against the single gold standard of
money, which is the most potent cause
of the recent reduction in wages made
in all the factories of New England.
The demonstration of silver and the
consequent appreciation of gold, which
measures values, have contributed to
goods which would once have brought
the producer 500 now brings him only
500. This is worldwide condition
where gold prices prevail, and because
the manufacturers cannot get the old
prices for goods they say they cannot
pay the old prices for labor. But if II
had not been for the decentralization
of, silver the wages of labor every-
where in recent years would have
risen, because each laborer has been
able year by year to create larger
product and he has therefore been en-
titled to larger wages as his share of
that product. This Legitimate rise in
wages the adoption of the gold stand
ard has prevented, and instead of a
rise comes fall. Here is the whole
case in a nutshell and it is impregna-
BILE. The unanimous position of or
ganized labor in America and Europe
is, therefore, against the single gold
standard and in favor if the restora-
ton Of silver to its old position as
standard money. American labor now
has a protective tariff. Let all Re
publicans fight to keep the greenbacks
In circulation and toget rid of slavery |

to drive out of use the silver money of |
the. wage-earners of the world. -

Hanna's blashemous message was a
coarse plagiarism Of President Gar
fields famous speech, which was call
ed forth by terrible panic. There was
nothing sacrilegious in the 1atter's in
spired assertion of relation between
our glorious government and our God.
1t was left to vulgar boss, exulting
over a narrow escape from defeat, to
suggest a connection between God
reign and the survival of corrupt
political party.-Kansas City Times.

1t is very natural for young girls,
who have to work professionally, to
say, in those discouraged moments
that come to all workers, stWe1l, I'm
only woman, anyway, and by rights
l should not have to work. 1t is very
natural, indeed, that all along through
her work girl should feel that she
is doing something it was really not
intended that she should do, should
feel certain sadness down her spirits
when she meets her friends who do
not have to come in contact, as she
does, with the business world.
Now, while it is perfectly natural
that girls should have this feeling, it
is never right to indulge it, as some
girls do-to use, as an excuse at any
time for 1axness in business duty,
after all, I'm only a woman
The point is here: If you work, re-
ceiving payment for your labor, you
must do fair square work just to be
honest, and you cannot accomplish
work of this character if you indulge
the I'm only woman plea.
No excuse, no plea of this nature
should hold. Either voluntarily, or
through force of necessity, you have
put your shoulder to the wheel, and
while you work you have got to work
in the same fair spirit that an honest
man does. No man is excused for any
thoughtlessness in business by saying,
''l'm only man.
The giving up of this false idea will
not IN any way rob a girl of gentle
ness. Honesty and courage cannot
rob women of their best charms. The
giving up of this false idea will i'm
prove your work wonderfully, and in
this way will make you ten times
happier, nobler girl than you are.
Most of us are unhappy, not because
we have been treated unjustly, as we
often deceive ourselves into thinking,
but because we have not done our
best Nothing steals ones se1f-re-
spect sooner than not doing ones best;
aud without self-respect we cannot be
at peace. And here 1 make my point
again, that without doing our level
best we cannot be honest, cannot be
self-respecting, cannot be happy.
Girls, face your labor bravely. Say.
'Whi1e work my work shall be done
as perfectly as possible. 1 will shirk
nothing. No excuse shall have
weight
The temptation to take refuge in
femininity when found wanting is not
so great in the case of girls belonging
to families in which the women have
done professional work, for from such
homes they start better trained for
the business world; but with most
of the giIls who are the first profess
siona1 women in their families, who
are thought remarka bic because of the
step they have taken, the temptation
to be at times careless is very great.
Some do just enough work to keep
their positions, but not nearly enough
to make themselves invaluable.
I'm only a woman may excuse
care1essness, but will "I'm only a
| Christian woman" excuse any form of
dishonesty, however small it may
seem in the eyes of the world?
If you feel yourselves giving in to
temptation with the first excuse on
your lips, change it to the second, and
you may shock yourselves back to
duty.-The Examiner.

OUR WOMEN.

Don't worry, dear; the b1eakest years
That clog the forward view,
Each Trims to nothing when it nears,
And we may saunter through
The darkest moment never comes
1t only looms before:
The loss of hope is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry, dear; the clouds are black,
But with them comes the rain,
And stified souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best we can,
And there'11 be none to bear:
Hard worn has never killed man,
But worry did its share.
Don't worry, dear; don't blanch, don't yield
But dare the years to come;
Nor give the enemy the field
Because he beats his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, tho they gall:
We know that life is love, my dear,
And life and love are a11.''
