IMPORT OF WOMAN'S WORK
H. STUART MKNIGHT TELLS THE RE
PUBLICAN CLUB THAT WOMANS
INFLUENCE IS NEEDED TO
PIRIEY POLITICS
PURIFY POLITICS.

The Republican women held lively meeting yes
terday al the clubrooms. Politics and politicians
filled the air to even greater degree than usual.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell was scheduled" to
ing hours but gracefully waived her right in behalf
Of H. Stuart Mcknight and William H. Douglas
the latter being the candidate for Congress in
the XIVth District.
Miss Boswell introduced the first speaker Mr.
Mcknight. who began with the customary compli-
mentary phrases incidentally saying that most
women knew something of politics. and some
women knew more OF politics than most men. He
cited Senator Logan public man who had re-
ceived his highest inspiration and valuable literary
assistance from his wife. and remarked that what
ever strong points his-the speaker's-character
1eld and whatever of principle guided his life he
owed TO his mothers teachings "Woman's work
may be quiet. but is of the deepest Importance "
he said, and woman's influence is needed TO purify
politics. until be called politician is no longer
a term Of opprobrium. 1t IS within the power of
women TO create public sentiment that shall de-
mand and put the best men in Office"
Mr Mcknight euiogized President Mckinley and
Governor Roosevelt, and said that the greatest
danger threatening this country to-day is the en-
deavor to set class against class.
He further said that the country is facing
since the civil war. and that President Mckinney
is the man to solve them.

IN TRAINING CHILDREN.

At the recent Church Congress held at Newcastle
on-Tyne England Lady Frederick Cavendish said
at a mothers meeting: II have never been blessed
with children but have had ten brothers and
sisters younger than myself. and any number
nephews and nieces, and would just give
one parting word of advice with regard to
the management of the young ones. Begin
early and never let child have thing
simply because he cries for 1t. l think it Is a bad
rule TO be indulgent with young children, and
stricter with them they grow older think II
should be vice versa. When you have trained a
child in good habits, then as the years so on you
can relax your efforts little. Good habits have
been formed and the child can find its own feet

TO THE FORGOTTEN ONES.

Deep in a dell rose was born;
The sunbeam kissed ii in the morn,
And in its cup the dewdroD shone,
But no one came to see ii bloom,
To breathe its sweetness, its perfume
And so it lived and died unknown.
Deep in the woods 2 bird OF song
Sang In the midnight loud and long
nightingale by grief pursued,
a melody softly clear
As eer fell q human ear
Was wasted In the solitude.
But other songs in minor keys
Are falling on the midnight breeze;
And every note shall die unheard;
And there are other eyes that wake
And other hearts that throb and break
Without a note, without a word.
But weep not tits the common lot
To toll and die and be forgot:
Perhaps in regions bright and fair
Your hand shall wake the golden chord
And sing the songs that fell unheard
On ears made deaf by dismal care
