WASN'T 1T THE ANGELUS?"
Editor The News:
observe in your paper of Aug. 20 an
assertion which think upon reconsider
alton you will agree is not quite lust.
You say, speaking OF some observations
OF Man-with the-Hoe Markham i'm regard
10 Huntington's attempt to bribe the
muses. into sending an anti-Hoe poem,
that the poet has changed his mind as to
the ground of his well-known poem; that
at first he had In mind the typical toiler
and now has narrowed TO the portion
overworked.
If YOU will glance at the titular poem
I'm the Markham volume-"The Man with
the Hoe and Other Poems'-you will see
the lines given with the accompaniment
of Millet's painting of the same name.
and with the explanatory note, Written
after seeing Millet's painting"
AS this painting Is mercfully not typi-
cal OF the great mass OF toilers but only
an unhappy fragment degraded and de-
based the poem, OF course, could not have
been meant TO cover the whole class OF
laborers. Still though IL refers to only "a
handful OF the least of these, it's raison
d'etre is sufficient, and its discussion
through loud not amiss.

CONTEST FOR MOTHERS.
The News offers five dollars in gold for the best
short letter the managing Of children.
Write on only one side Of the paper.

Editor The News:
In these days OF positive assurance that
health. strength and heredity influence
mentality and morality. I'm a short letter
only the most general rules for the man
agement of children can be given.
The manager must Fear God and
keep His commandments"
A study must be made of what hest
promotes the physical health of the child.
Seek to understand the child and retain
its confidence or TO gain II If you are not
the parent.
The manager should have a fixed men
tai ideal of what she wishes the child
this ideal not like the sculptor, but like
the educator. cultivating or encouraging
desirable qualities till the undesirable
ones are crowded out.
Study natures laws. We guard chill
dren from fire till they learn the penalty
nature attaches To violation OF that law.
So mother love guards and shields where
ever she perceives danger, but when an
essential rule Is broken the manager
must heed natures teaching and calmly,
but surely follow violation with the
promised penalty.
In all cases i'm which doubt arises as
to the method TO be pursued a rigid ap-
plication of the Golden Rule will set
matters right.
Risking the loss OF the longed-for
money, few words TO the milk-measur-
ing mother.

maintained at ~ Fountain street by the
Woman's Christian Association. The home
was founded and located at time when
the SURROUNDINGS seemed safe and sound
for the task OF giving working girls
place where they could be lodged and fed,
entertained and provided with home-likc
associations. The years have passed and
gradually the women who conducted the
institution have seen the haunts OF vice
flow onward and upward to their very
gates.
DO the people OF Providence understand
what this meaus7 Have they given over
certain section OF their city to vice. and
may decent householders within those
limits consider themselves notified that
they must either endure It or move out?
In laws the people have made no such
reservation Of territory for the undis-
turbed seat OF vice. Then have they done
II tacitly? We imagine the decent resi-
dents OF the tainted quarters would like
10 know where they stand.
The woman's Christian Association is
considering whether IL will move or not.
Are the Christian men OF the community
going TO stand by and see that institu-
tion driven out. with all the oppressive
expense the change would necessitate7
