The women of the country will be vastly
interested in the July Cosmopolitan because
it has five articles that will especially ap-

features. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, than
whom the sex has no stronger nor more in

Peck's argument made in the June number
and trenchantly proclaims the right Of
women to certain economic place. Char

of the second class in the Cosmopolitan

PANORAMA OF WAR.

said, shortly after laughing gas was
introduced as an anesthetic, l got a
case OF rip-roaring toothache and went
to dentist on st. Charles street to
have the molar snatched out. I re-
member leaning back in the chair and
taking few whiffs of something that
tasted sweet and then, in the twinkling
Of an eye, found myself on the quar-
ter deck Of man-of-war. There was
no middle period of drowsiness or con-
fusion; the thing happened in flash,
and, strange to say, 1t seemed perfectly
natural. I understood, without the
slightest bewilderment, that the civil
war was in progress; that was an en-
sign on a Federal cruiser and that we
were In search of the Alabama. l was
in the navy, you know, before I came
to live in New Orleans, and the routine
of ship was as familiar as my own
name. seemed well acquainted with
everybody on this particular vessel and
as I paced to and fro l chatted with
my fellow officers about the weather,
the war, the chances Of the chase and
many other topics Of the time. The
day wore ON, evening fell and l went
to mess, where had long debate
with the doctor on certain operations
for wounds. After my watch that
night l turned in dog-tired and slept
till dawn, and, not to fatigue you with
my story, a week rolled by, filled with
all the innumerable incidents, details
and duties of life aboard ship. We
told stories, sang songs, lOunged for
long hours under the stars and spec
ulated on the probabilities OF fight.
One afternoon, to come to the point,
we sighted the Alabama, and, after a
chase about which could write vol
ume, overhauled her and the battle be-
gan. 1t was no long range contest, but
a duel to the death at pistol shot, and
at last riddled, torn and Uttered with

SHORT SERMONS.

There is nothing that Universalism
affirms more positively than the in
evitable and impartial punishment of
sinners.-Rev. l. p. Coddington, Uni
versalist, Rochester, N. Y.
Character is that which makes a
noble life; no life is perfect in which
God Is not the center of its being. the
ruling motive of its character. Rev.
w. II. Carwardine, Methodist, Chicago.
III.
That definition of God which de-
scrdbes Him as pure Spirit carries In
1t the danger that we may lose our
selves in speculative contemplation
Rev. DR.. Behrends, Congregationalist,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The church that fails to obtain a
hearing and impress to noble purposes
the people about it is a failure and
ought to be reformed or destroyed
Rev. j. A. B. Wilson, Methodist, San
Francisco, Cal.
1t would be glorious to have one
Christian federation. Perhaps in the
days that are to come such Christian
federation will be made possible. God
speed the day.-Rev. DR.. Eaton, Uni
versalist, New York city.
Our ideas Of property and economics
are burdens imposed on us by the
dead. Whitman wanted to live with
animals, because mot one of them
was afflicted with the mania of own
Ing things. Rev. B. Fay Mills,
Evangelist, Boston. Mass.
The church will hold Christ as Il
sovereign authority. All power l.
given unto Him. Authority is not In
reason, not in the church, not In the
Bible, but in the imperial Christ
DR.. G. H. Combs, Independent, Kan
sas City, Mo.
1t is something like blasphemy to
ask God to give to the church the Holy
Spirit which He has already given
once and forever. What we want Is
anointed eyes to see the gift.-Rev. F.
]. Van Horn, Boston, Mass
If we do not keep our souls filled
with Gods spirit the devil can enter
In and dwell there. We are not con-
cerned merely with overcoming evil
habits, but in building up active vir-
tues.-Rev. DR.. Christian, Episcopal
Ian, New York City.
This consciousness of and hunger for
Immortality are the strongest possible
evidences of the fact. The Bible
teaches it. The Book of Job is a poem
Of immortality. The Psalms throb
with the hope. The prophets are
spokesman of the other world.-Rev.
]. F. Carson, Presbyterian, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Detraction Injuries the detractor
himself, Injuries the listener, perhaps
awakens in its vlctim-for sooner or
later he will hear of it-sentiments Of
hatred and revenge that will cause him
to detract in turn, or drive him even
to the crime of murder.-Rev. Father
DuBoise, r. c., San Francisco, Cal.

We expect to hear from this tilly soon.
Mr. Phillips sticks to the Bradlaughs and
he bought Robert X OF Burt Hathorn.
Edwin Kittredge of Bethel village Is an
ancient horseman with modern practice.
He bred and still owns the fine bay geld
ing, Whipster, by Northern Light, by
Daniel Lam bert. This horse is a trotter
and his general appearance indicates
grand road horse. He also has good deal
OF speed and, like his owner and driver,
any amount of pluck.
Not since the bottom fell out OF the
great White River Agricultural associa-
ton has there been any horse racing in or
about Bet bel but found Ed Kittredge one
OF the contestants, and now living so near
Dell Phillips there Is nothing strange in
their continual horse talk resulting in a
match So the Lambert and Bradlaugh
went up against each other for S25 a side,
the race to come of on the ice at Silver
lake in Barnard. The excitement spread
and nearly all Bethel took sides, money
backing their different opinions until
much money was staked, waiting the YER
dict.
So much interest was taken In the re-
suit and so many Bethel people wanted t.
see the outcome that a conclusion was
reached to have the race at home ,notwith.
standing preparations had been made at
Barnard to receive them.
Saturday, the 2lst, two tracks mile
long were scraped on the river and the
race came off, resulting in victory for
the Bradlaugh colt; best time, 2:32.
There was large attendance, including
most of the business men with their la
dies, as well as the sporting characters of
the town, and prominent horsemen from
other places were out in force. Mr.. Kit
tredge drove his own horse in good style,
hitcned to a skeleton sleigh. Mr.. Phillips
employed Landlord johnson OF the vii
son House to steer the Bradlaugh in a
bike sulky.
The betting was slightly in favor of the
Phillips colt previous to the race and even
after Whipster had won the first heat calls
were made two to one on the Bradlaugh,
with few takers. Four heats were re
quired to land the money and general sat
isfaction was admitted.
ID. w Bliss, Albert Stearns of Bethel
and Ed Shattuek of Randolph were the
judges and Ed Mcintyre the starter.
Here is where the wonder comes in and
the unexpected happened-that this colt
should jump from obscurity to be the
most popular member OF his family.
1t was said by many who saw the race
that he could beat any colt in Barnard but
Robert X, like Tom Sharkey, has Others
