THE WAY OF IT.


Written for the Intelligencer.
Cape Nome is another name for the ST.
rem who sings songs that lure men TO
death. The greed for gold has been the
undoing Of thousands who have focked
| 10 that arid stretch OF sandy wastes
Wheeling Intelligencer.
This little editorial In recent Issue
| Of the Intelligencer suggests some
things:
One is led to wonder why men listen
to the singing OF the Siren, knowing
Of the power Of the singer. the effect
Of her songs.
Some olden truths. standing. the test
OF the ages. are known TO all men. Even
women have heard them. and who
would question truth?
Listen not to the tempter of souls.
but to wisdom. whatsoever a man
sows that shall he also reap" "Sin
brings its own punishment" THE way
of the transgressor is hard" 1.-THE soul
| that sinneth shall die"
But all men will not listen to wis
dom. They scorn her gentle instruc-
tions. II is their desire 10 know for
themselves. and not OF another, and
for such the teacher Experience waits.
Her fees are heavy. and never has she
been unpaid. Her instruction is thor
oush, and even fool can learn to SUI
fer.
To tell the present day young man
that "the greed for gold has been the
undoing Of thousands" is telling him
= truth that older men have learned
by bitter experience.
Would that young men could value
honor more than money. truth mora
! than popularity and manhood most of
! all. The never-satisfying desire to
get rich robs men OF what is priceless.
Money cannot buy It again, and the
world has nothing to give in its place.
~ Youth, health and contented mind!
Here Is happiness. II the young man
only knew 1t, or would believe what
wiser. older men could tell him.
And what OF the girl OF to-day? How
high is her outlook upon life? How
great her desire to be truly womanly?
Is 1t only 10 the men the Sirens sing?
The greed for gold is known to women
also. That terrible hatred OF poverty
is stronger in wcman-besause she
knows more about it. Women are
poorer than men, and more helpless.
This has become such a practical age
that the average girl has no desire 10
fall in love with poor man; or any
serious intention Of marrying him IL
| she does.
As lovers they wait until life's best
years have gone by. wait" until n
home with every comfort is afforded,
and wonder ever afterward,w where hap
piness 10 where It has gone and II II will
ever return: and with 1t the joy OF love
In earlier days.
Is II only the men who find an "ar!d
stretch OF sandy wastes" when they
sacrifice the harris best treasures and
life's highest hopes for gold?
The Siren sings also to woman, and
the name Is Cape Nome"

that the advantage gained here VIII be

Again we are told that the foreign
ministers. including Mr.. rConger. are
safe. This Information comes through
a CABLE to the Chinese minister at Lon
don, and transmitted to Minister WI at
Washington. 1t apparently bears the
stamp Of coming from official sources.
and while the Washington officials are
willing to believe the best with regard
to the situation. a feeling of doubt still
remains. The news from Pekin has
been SO conflicting and contradictory

butchery may have been built on an
isolated case. and the exaggerations
