"Oh,' she said, in most pitiful

As she paused for reply the young

always appeals to the feminine
heart:

that was in every way worthy OF the
occasion, and will take high place
among the excellent speeches for
which he il noted. Especially plea

Returning to our wearied woman
in her hour before luncheon, here is
a little thing which she may do,
saws a writer in Harper's Bazaar.
She NAV resolutely, definitely and
daily secure for herself an hour OF
rest, shutting out her family and
her cares. In this hour she may lie
still with closed eyes; she may read
a novel or book of devotion, which
ever she choose, or she may sit with
folded hands and do nothing at all.
Very likely in the beginning OF
this rest hour she may feel as if she
would fly rather than as il she could
keep still. But it i the stiffness
she needs, and the stiffness perse-
vered in is what does her good.
Should she put herself in the hands
Of a physician and take a rest-cure
as his prescription she would obey
his minutest direction. Why shall
she not anticipate the doct and
secure rest for herself. One needs
but to try the plan fairly, intelli-
gently End persistently to ascertain
how we'll il works, and what admir-
able results follow 1t.

favoring arbitration for labor trou-
bles, are slight concessions to the
radical element. There is no OBJ
,ection to the proposition for De-
partment of Labor, and to establish
such department would doubtless
be step toward other liberal legis-
lation. However, there are other
great questions in which the men
who labor have infinitely more in
terest. The planks denouncing the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, declaring
for the construction of the Nicara-
qua canal, expressing sympathy for
the Beers, opposing entangling alli-
ances, and favoring economy in
public expenditures, are all
thoroughly Democratic.
The plank in reference to changes
in the interstate commerce law il
indefinite, but the inference is that
it favors such changes as will con
fer rate making power on the com

ownership rather than such public
interference as will make private
ownership more inefficient. How

Birds Protected, but not Boys.

The unanimity with which the
protection of song and game birds"
was discussed by the National House
Of Representatives last week was re-
freshing indeed. Democrats follow
ed Republicans. and Republicans
the Democrats, each vieing with the
other as to who could gain an OPP
portunity trst to speak in glowing
terms Of this splendid and humane
bill"
The Secretary of Agriculture IS
given power to protect all song and
game birds, and restock the country
with those becoming extinct. Thus
the birds join the fishes and seals
lin their demand upon the sympa-
thy and effort Of our national con-
gress.
The daily press, commenting on
this latest bill declare its passage 10
have been by so nearly a unanimous
vote because there was no politics
lin it," The liquor men are shrewd
enough to see that there is politics
lin everything relating to their busl'
ness. and the two great political par
tiles tumble over each other in get
ting away from all reference to this
question; and when they become
correred by some Nicholson bill OF
canteen law. they shift and squirm
and Law the blame ''on the other Tel
llow's'' and make haste to explalr
s.that they had nothing to do wit
it," SO our boys and girls must b'
left a prey to the saloon and wine
room, while our legislators, with Q
great flourish Of virtue, protect tn,
seal, the cat fish, the sap sucker anc
the pewee. And this, remarkable
to say, seems to meet the approva
Iof 9s per cent. Of the fathers Of thi'
nation.
