A SEASIDE MEMORY.

II seems so strange. Once more beside
The sheltered cove within the bag
l sit Out on the ebbing tide
The fishing boats sail far away
Three cloudy bars, like ships afame.
Float slowly down the saffron west;
The kline come home. each cahed by name.
And o'er the land steals twilight's rest.
Behind me lies the dewy dale;
/ hear the rippling streamlet flow,
Singing again the witching tale
! heard one eve-long, long ago.
/ catch the murmur of her name
Amidst the measures of its tune;
But, an! the rapture's not the same
AS 't~ss beneath that quiet moon.
Throughout that soft, calm rwilight's fail
We sat in bliss, hand clasped in hand
We heard the last lone curlew call
Then silence crept Ger all the land.
We watched the beacon's quivering CLEANS
Shoot swift across the darkening sea;
And midst their glory wove our dreams
In loves enthralling ecstasy.
We sat till the first stars shed down
On sea and shore their kindly light.
And silently the spectral town
Lay in the dreamy lap of night.
And oh! we saw such visions fair,
Through loyal Loves far-seeing eyes;
Whilst Fancy filled the kindly air
With music born in Paradise.
IT'S past! 'tis past for evermore!
l hear the bells upon the hill;
But I'm alone upon the shore,
Whilst she is sleeping calm and STILL
Her dear hands folded on her breast
Beneath the roses, far away;
And there my longing heart would rest.
To wait, with her, the brighter day.

SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.
That Is What the Men Ont in Colorado
Think About the WOmnn's
Rights Question.

Colorado politicians will. almost to
man, in private conversation declare
that woman suffrage 10 a failure and a
farce in our state, but one of them has
the nerve TO say so over his own sig
nature in the newspapers" said Mr.. F.
r. Graham. leading business man of
Durango, Col, TO a Washington Post
reporter.
'As | do not aspire to Office, there is
no reason for timidity on my part, and
l unhesitatingly declare that the en-
pertinent of giving the ballot to women
in Colorado has been as rank piece
of foolishness as any people ever in
fiicted upon themselves; it has done a
very little good, perhaps, and great
deal more of harm, and, though II may
never be repealed, there is no possibil-
ity of good coming out of II. The womJ
en- claim that their presence has made
the elections cleaner, but ] contend
that they appropriate credit that does
not belong TO them. for, while the
elections are better conducted than
formerly, the improvement is due to
the Australian system and not to the
women. ny "r-'e' 49,
THE presence of women in conven-
tions and political meetings is to my
mind degrading TO them. Surrounded
by a lot of coarse men whom they
would not elevate or refine in life
time, they are entirely out of their ele-
ment. Their vote in no way conduces
to better government than if they were
without the franchise, for they vote ON
sentiment or follow. the lead Of their
husbands, and so the only result is to
increase the number of voters. There
are thousands of good women in the
state who are tired of the business and
very much regret that the ballot was
ever conferred on their sex.

FRENCH CHARITY.
Any Act OF Public Benefact ten Has to
BE Licensed by Act of Par
lament.

Among the things which are MAN.
aged differently on the two sides or
the channel there is one in which we
In England may fairly claim TO have
the advantage of better method. This
is in the matter of public benefactions.
Here, rich men like Lord Iveagh may
give out of their plenty to any society
they please old or new, with restric-
tons, except, of course, the usual tech
nicalities when the beneticence takes
the form of clearing open spaces of
dealing with property. But in France
the Journal des Debats complains that
would-be benefactors have no such free
hand, and the restrictions of red tape
stifle good many eharlta9ls impulses,
says the Westminster Gazette. .~~-.ss: 4
The patriotic Frenchman according
to tbs yqgrna! des Debats, if he wishes
to devote some of his wealth to the pub
lie veal, must first apply to parlia-
ment for leave in case his gift is to
increase the funds of any charitable
society already existing, But if he de-
sires to initiate a scheme of his own
he must go to the minister of the in
terror for permission. In neither case
will he have any voice in the organiza-
tion or working of the committee
formed to control his gift. In addi-
tion TO these restrictions, it seems that
the minister of finance steps in and
takes about ten per cent. Of the sum
for the exchepuer. This is certainly
not the way to encourage the public
benefactor, whose path of generosity
should be made as smooth as possible.

SECONDHAND SHOES.
Extensive Repairs May he Made and
Yet They May He Had for
Very Little Money.

A sign hanging in front of shoe
were sold had upon it these words:
Second Hand Shoes with New Uppers."
1t seemed almost that pair of sec
ond-hand shoes with new uppers would
be practically new shoes, but inquiry
showed that this impression was not
warranted by the facts. There is
good deal of fresh material in a pair
of shoes thus repaired, but there is also
left good deal of the old, says the
New York Sun.
The new upper thus put in is a new
vamp, the front part of the upper; the
old counter, or back part of the shoe,
still remains. 1t Is familiar fact
that while the counter may break
down or wear out or get hole in it
somehow, it is much more likely to
stay sound and good; ii is the front that
cracks and breaks. And so in put
ting secondhand shoes in order new
vamps are sometimes put in. But while
such shoe, which has also been soled
and heeled, might easily be described
as having undergone extensive repairs,
ii would be far from wholly new. There
would remain, besides the old counter,
the shank and the inner SOLE and the
general shape and framework of the
shoe, and upon these the repairs could
be made. Secondhand shoes bring va
rious prices depending on their orig
inal quality and their condition. pair
Of secondhand shoes, resoled and re-
heeled and with new uppers, can be
bought for as little as a dollar

THE AUTUMN MACINTOSH.

In the autumn one should not think
Of travelling without mackintosd-a
garment | detest, but which must still
be included in our luggage. The
sac will never be improved upon for
this garment. 1t is a good idea to
have epaulettes on the shoulder, and a
cape collar, from which the water runs
off easily; but if the sac hangs out in
a pleat at the back it accomplishes
this. Walking in the rain with the
wet tricking off ones macintosh and
getting into ones boots, to say nothing
of soiling ones skirts, is an exceeding
ly tiresOme process.
Dark blue and gray are rather popu-
lar this year for mackintoshes, but
nothing is SO smart as drab. There
is a horsey appearance about this lat
ter color which makes it favorite
with this style Of wrap, but | cannot
say | think 1t is generally becoming,
and to my mind, one should study
ones personal appearance. even before
fashion. But this is rank heresy, and
one would only dare say such things
after sale time, and before the autumn
novelties make their appearance in
the market.

Madison, Oct. 2.

| AhuuISOlJ Otl'
Cattemen have occasion for rejoic-
ing these days, for not in nearly ten
years has beef been as high as it is
now. Indeed when beef on the hoof
reached $500 per hundred last week the
price attained the highest mark since
1884. A beef shortage throughout the
world is responsible for this rise. I'm
til recently the great west was able to
supply the demand in this country and
its cheaper raising facilities reduced
the beef growing industry in these
middle states to one of rather small
importance. But the westernerS' over
haste to get rich has had the usual re-
suit. He has overpastured his ranges
and thus killed off the nutritious buff
falo grass, so that where formerly
| five head of cattle could feed only one
can live now. This is true of many
localities, say the authorities at the
university farm Good live steers are
now bringing in the Madison market
from 81 to $3.50; cows from SO to 1915
ana calves from S. to $3.50. In con-
sequence of the rise in beef, the com
petitive foods, such as mutton, poul-
try, eggs and butter, are also up. Live
sheep are bringing 1913, lambs 81 to
$3.50, spring chickens 7 to 8 cents
pound, hens to 7 cents, eggs Is cents
a dozen, creamery butter q to 20 cents
a pound and dairy butter % cents.
Turkeys have hardly entered the mar
ket yet but are worth upwards of s
cents. AS rule pork is not a COM
pettive meat with beef as the beef.
eater does not turn to pork in lieu OF
his first choice. Nevertheless pork
also commands good figure, live hogs
being worth from $3.50 to 81 in Madi-
son.
1t is likely that beef and it's COM
petitive foods will maintain a good
price for some time to come. This will
probably be especially true of butter
The average farmer is usually caught
short on the commodity of high price
in the market but is quick to profit by
an opportunity. Consequently more
beef cattle will now be raised and the
greater value of fax cattle will turn
many dairy herds into beef. Another
cause will operate towards this end.
Hired help is scarce in the country
and as beef cattle require less labor
and care than milk cows the change
will naturally follow now.
However though beef has risen the
butchers have not raised their retail
prices OF meals since the boost of two
ago. POrterhouSe steak is
selling at from Is to IS cents, with
chCps the same. The complaint is
made that there is less money in meats
than for some time past
IN common with meat, poultry and
butter, potatoes have also risen lately, !
40 cents in the local re-
tail market now. In consequence of
this all-around raise, some of the uni
versity boarding house keepers have
increased their comfortable rates OF
past years by half dollar a week.
