4 Fainter In n sxynmp.

Wishing to make a study of a por-
ton of the swamp near FL Akewa, In
Egypt, set up my easel on the edge
of pool where the ground seemed
little firmer than the rest. Quickly
becoming engrossed in my work, l did
not notice that l was slowly sinking
until | found that my sketching stool
had nearly disappeared and my legs
were imbedded in the mud almost up
TO my knees. With the breaking OF
the surface crust the black slime gave
out most horrible odors, and small
singing flies, liberated from the earth,
quickly covered me, crawling up my
legs and arms, while the mosquitoes.
combining in the attack, eventually
drove me from my half finished work.
Though really quite clear, the water
was so alive with mosquito grubs as
to appear almost opaque. BY thou
sands every moment the grubs would
come to the surface. either crawling
up the rushes or floating. and the outor
shells soon cracking in the sun left the
little insects at 1lberty. A few Sec
onds sufiiced to dry their wings aud
give them life and strength, and then
with hum and buzz they Joined their
brothers in the air, lowering In thou
sands like cloud of black smoke over
the stagnant pond from which they
sprang. Then l was discovered-a rare
bonnie bouche for those parts-and a
rapid retreat became imperatlve.-R.

A FRuITLEss ENDEAyoR.

Those who are often spoken of as the
smart set In society are again running
the gauntlet of criticism and abuse. On
both sides of the Atlantic the social re-
formers and other good people are hurl-
ing anathema right and left against the
men and women who give their time over
mostly to entertaining each other and in
seeking new fripperies of one kind or
other on which to squander the money
which they possess in sadly dispropor-
tionate amount
So-called society is an offense to many
well meaning people, but the members
of society so called, like all other classes
In the makeup Of the world, have their
rights. A fundamental one of these is
to do what they please with their own,
SO long as they do not in any way in
fringe the rights or privileges of others
We all have more or less contempt for
the persons who dawdle away their lives
In idleness and luxury in the circles of So
called society" but not a few of US if
we analyze our own feelings, may find
that there is an alloy of envy underlying
much of our vexation. Society people
may be very terrible in their peculiar
way, but nobody who understands human
nature is disposed to regard them as be-
ing very much better or worse than
other folks. They are mostly the vic
Tins of unfavorable environments. Had
they to go out and make their way in
the world they might, like the rest of us,
develop into very useful and very sober
minded men and women.
When these people are. as those OF
them who are at home in London were
held UP to view recently by Arnold White
in his letter to the London Chronicle on
Smart Society,"" as social criminals and
degenerates, it is time for outsiders to
step In and preserve the peace. That
gentleman seems to think that the Lon
don folk who do their Ioafing mostly

men or women able, even though they

DEBS, CANDIDACY

The selection Of Eugene V. Debs as the
presidential nominee of the Socialist
Democratic party may be accepted as an
event OF no little present political slgnif-
icance. Debs is perhaps the only man
who has survived active participation in
the leadership Of any labor movement
whatever which ended In strife or dis
aster He is eloquent and forceful, and
is identified with the most advanced views
Of public concerns which have found ac-
ceptance among those who believe in the
tenets of state socialism.
1t Is rather a strange ending of the
colonizing schemes with which Mr.. Debs
has for some time been identified. But
plans Of social settlement are not for
men of the Debs type Their lives from
choice are usually cast In the paths Of
public controversy, and the idyIlic life is
not for such as they.
The result of Mr.. Debs' presidential
candidacy will enable the country to esti-
mate how serious a hold the socialistic
people. 1t has found sporadic expression
here and there especially through the
election Of socialist mayors In one or
two Of our smaller cities in New England
and in the West AS political factor.
save In local contests, however, socialism
has not thus far been worthy Of esttna-
ton. 1t has now put it's strongest man
Forward, and has made a bid for the SUD-
port of American voters in the domain Of
national affairs. The outcome will at
least be instructive. If that outcore
should Indicate that the popular mind IS
turning to any considerable extent to-
ward state socialism as a remedy for
existing difficulties, we may safely con-
clude that the trusts are effectuaHy do
Ing their legitimate work at least in one

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has con-
tributed an article to the current num-
Der Of the North American Review
which is worthy of much attention as.

text of her article. She dfsapproves,
very properly, of the proposed amend

making divorce legislation uniform
throughout the states through federal
legislation, and calls attention to the
fact that Judges, bishops and statesmen
alike differ widely as to the legal con-
and divorce, and that accordingly. it
is not a reasonable proposal to seek
through them the determination of the
question, whether lax or rigid uniform
divorce system should prevail, or what
mean should be preserved between the
two extremes of opinion on the subject.
Briefly stated, Mrs. Stantons conten-
tons in favor of free or liberal divorce
system are sustained by her claims that
applications for divorce are chiefly made
by women; that the stringent divorce
laws are most burdensome to women;
that laws designed to restrain unprin-
cipled men fall with crushing weight
on her sex; that because inexperienced
girls make mistakes in their choice of
husbands they should not be cut off from
the right to marry again; that the states

THE LATn PROF.. PHELPS.

One of the most exalted and notable
characters Of the country has Just passed
away. The public career of Prof. Ed
ward J. Phelps was of but brief dura-
ton. The ending Of Democratic control
I'm national affairs, combined with failing
health, brought that career to an ending
which may well be declared to have been
untimeIy.
In all the intellectual and moral at
tributes which men Identify with the
highest types Of craftsmanship, Prof
Phelps met the highest requirements
He was profound scholar. a sound
American, a gentleman of great personal
dignity and force of character His ca
reer as American representative at the
court of st. James was worthy of the
highest traditions Of our diplomatic serv-
ice. There We're no great questions of ma
tional or international concern to be dis
posed Of while he served his country
abroad, but in his conduct Of all matters
In controversy between the two govern
ments and In the general transaction of
diplomatic relations he served to advance
materially the spirit of international
amity and good feeling, which has since
found such notable expression in the
great peace conference at The Hague.
The appearance of Prof Phelps in pc.
Htical life may be said to represent the
first active appearance In high public sta
ton of men whose lives were far re-
moved from the political arena. but
whose studies bore largely on the great
questions the practical settlement of
which constitutes the work Of active
craftsmanship. Learned in International
law, profound economic scholar, an
eloquent and forceful writer on public
questions, he stood for all that Is best
and highest in our ideals of public con-
duct during his brief career in official
station.
AS long as the United States has men
of the stamp Of the late scholar and
diplomat to call into the public councils
In times of emergency, there can be but
little fear INDUCED In that, American
craftsmanship may not, when need re-
quires. embody the highest expression
of national patriotism. character and in
teIlect.

LYRIC OF THE MILKMAN.

Hustlin' out at o'clock, sir. with a dozen
COWS to tend,
How'd We like to be the milkman?
So chilly in the tie-up that your hands
will scursely bend,
oh, don't we sort of yearn to be the
milkman?
With the winter wind kl-hootin round
the corner of the barn,
And eV'ry cow a-shiver and a-shake
from stem to starn, 49,
1t sets a chap to feelin' that he doesn't
And that's sassy feelin' for a milk
man.
With a blizzard on the docket and the
snow a-fallin' thick.
How'd We like to be the milkman?
AS stified as a skeeter rolled inside
Oh, don't We think it's fun to be the
milkman?
And out before it's daylight with your
nose a-tuFntn, blue,
And findin' as you shovel you're the first
to founder through.
It makes you love your bus ness and your
neighbor, tell you.
Oh this lovely, lovely Job of bein'
