HIS TROUBLE.

The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-08-11


Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, for
merly Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
has been called the typical new woman.
Mrs. Gilman was, and probably is still, q
great believer in the theory that woman
should be emancipated, and her book,
"Woman and Economics" is power
full presentation of her position. She
believes in the home, but that woman
should come out of it more into the
world, and not waste her energies on
the petty details OF housekeeping, hav-
ing to beg money from her husband,
and getting her board and clothes as
aims. At the same time, she always
said sweet things about mother-love
and tenderness, but she thought that
all the Norld needed a mothers love al
moet as much as children needed it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's career is
called to mind by her recent marriage.
She married, as Charlotte Perkins, man
named Stetson. He is said to have been
a very good sort Of a man, though not a
river-burner by any means. She was
burning up with genius and, as one OF
her friends put it, it sooc became appar-
ent that the two were not suited. Mrs.
Stetson felt that family cares were too
heavy for her. Her genius was in dan
ger of being quenched. Mr.. Stetson's
income was limited, and. perhaps, ha
was limited. too. So she finally deter
mined that her dearest and most init
mate friend, Mise Grace Ellery Chan
ming Of Boston-who, by the way, is a
Granddaughter of William Ellery Chan
ming, the famous Unitarian preacher.
would make far better wife for Mr..
Stetson. and far better mother for the
little daughter than she herself could
ever dream OF being. Continuing the
tale. Mrs. Ste tson's friend says, that to
think was to act, and Mrs. Stetson in
vited Mise Charming to visit her at Pas
adena. She did everything possible to
promote friendship between Miss Chan
ming and her husband, and Mr.. Stetson
was not Glow to discover that she was
very lovely and lovable girl. Then the
matter was calmly talked over between
husband and wife; a separation was
agreed upon. divorce quickly procured
and, after suitable lapse OF time, Mr..
Stetson married Miss Charming. Mrs.
Stetson that was, was present at the
wedding, and accompanied the newly
married pair on their wedding journey
as far as New York, whence they sailed
for Europe, while she commenced in
earnest, and unhampered, her bril-
liant literary career The queerly as
sorted party stopped few days in New
York, where Mrs. Stetson No. l pur-
chased clothes for her little daughter.
whom she turned over completely to the
new wife, who has had charge Of her
ever since. And Charlotte Perkins
Stetson went once year to Pasadena
and visited her one-time husband and
his wife, who is still her dearest friend.
Mrs. Stetson then became an evangelist
of the social and economical reformation.
She wrote books, and she lectured,
showing that all our ideas are wrong,

UNCONVENTIONAL SENATOR PET
TuS.

Senator Pettus is a rough diamond.
He wears shabby clothes, is an invet-
crate chewer of tobacco and pays little
heed 10 any OF the conventionalities Of
life. which he does not seorn, but sim
ply will not take the trouble to OBJ
serve. He is, however, one of the most
erudite men in the upper house; few
equal him in brightness and quickness
at repartee, and it is recorded Of him
that he never said stupid thing in his
political life. His language, too, is
very picturesque, and when he cannot
find the exact word he coins one.

to lawyers, is not strange TO official cir

TRANSFORMED BY WOMEN.

Dissatisfied with the progress OF the
town under masculine rule, the women
of Healdsburg, Cal, gently but firmly
took possession of the reins and are
now driving the municipal coach their
own way. Their organization is called
the Ladies improvement club OF
Healdsburg and it was formed in Au-
gust of last year. Since that time-in
the short space Of seven months this
is what the club has accomplished:
A municipal water system, munich
pal electric plant, comfortable seats
placed in the plaza, names given to the
streets, signboards with street names
placed at street corners, a drinking
fountain for the plaza costing $500.
All these Improvements had been dis
cussed for years by the men. 1t re-
manned for the women to make them
realities. And, with the exception OF
the electric light plant and the water
system, the city taxes have not been
increased by as much as farthing 10
ray for these things.

WHEN A BACHELOR PAYS CALLS

An unmarried man in calling at a
house where there are a mother and
daughter, or any married woman and
other women relatives, leaves one
card for the host and hostess, one for
the daughters, and one for any guest
who may be staying with them. No
matter how many there may be in the
family, he should leave no more than
three cards. Whatever the terms on
which he may stand with the brothers
or other masculine members of the
family, he leaves no cards for them
at the time of making his general call
ON the family. The exception is the
head of the house, and he leaves a card
for him after he has had call from
him, or its social equivalent, an
invitation.-Leah Lanceford IN

WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS.

The shirt waist girl is with us.
Some peoples level best is pretty
low down.
The plastic period in a mans life is
when he falls in love.
You never feel SO stupid as when you
want to be particularly bright.
Women ought to know. the colcrs
they can wear and then stick to them,
1t gives one a most peculiar sensa-
ton TO be told, why, thought you
were dead"
To be thoroughly convinced of the
value of time you have only to watch a
lot of women trying to crowd on an
elevator.
If only half the nice things that are
said after people are dead were only
told while they are alive, how much
more happiness there would be in the
world.
Inc young woman who contradicts
her mother PUBLICLY may prove her SUI
perior knowledge. but she does not
gain anything in the estimation OF
those around her.

PROPER SELF-ESTIMATION.

He who undertakes himself is justly
undervalued by others-Hazlitt.
They are the weakest, however
strong, who have no faith in them
selves or their powers.-Bovee.
Proper self-estimation is needful for
due regulation of our efforts in rela-
ton to their ends. Underestimation of
self involves the letting slip of ad-
vantages that might have been gained.
Overestimation of self prompts at
tempts which fail from want of due
capacity. In either case there is an
average of evil experimentation
missed or effort thrown away.-Her-
bert Spencer.

THE OLD UNFINISHED CHAMBER.

The old unfinished chamber
shut my eyes and see
The massive, smoke-browned rafters
Each hewn from some huge tree;
NO medieval castle
Fer boosted ribs more stout:
No widest wind of winter
Could shake them with its rout
And yet they condescended
To yield ungrudged support
To traces trim of popcorn
For winter evenings sport;
To festooned wealth of apple,
And wrinkled rings galore.
OF pie-prophetic pumpkin.
And grandma's treasured store
Or peppermint and spearmint
Skull-cap and sage and dill.
Wornwood and balm and .catnip-
sure cure for every i'll.
Small need had we of doctors,
AT slightest hint of pain
Came grandma with her herb drink,
And we were we'll again.
| see the huge old chimney,
Up which the wood fires roared,
On every side surrounded
By all our childish hoard
VI haZelnuts and beechnuts.
Gathered in golden days,
While saucy chipmunks scolded,
And all thp wnnd1aDd u,oye
Were gay in gold and scarlet,
And all the air was sweet
With breath of glorious autumn,
Whose wealth was at our feet.
| see the small-paned windows
That, in a winters night,
Would win to wondrous beauty
Of tracery azure-white.
Scenes of the sunny south land,
With towering tropic trees,
Pictures of polar regions
And iceberg-haunted seas,
Az that we read and dreamed of,
That travellers tales rehearse,
We saw in our still corner
OF the great universe
Then, when the days grew longer
And weak the winters chains,
From some dim, dreaming Granny,
Out on the sunny panes
Big, sleepy flies crept staidly,
With dazed, bewildered mein,
AS though they scarce remembered
The once familiar scene:
But when, by sunshine wakened,
They raised their CHEEKY hum,
We knew that they were telling
For. true" that spring had come.
All, dreamy, blissful memories
Of dear, dim rainy daysl
We could not $50 a-fishing,"
And all our outdoor plays
Were set aside. What cared we?
We knew the latch-string stout
OF the old unfinished chamber
Was always hanging out.
What frolics meath the rafters!
What masquerading fine
In garments worn and faded,
Fashioned in "auld lang syne."
What happy-hearted laughter,
What songs untouched by pain,
Blent with the obligato
Unceasing of the rain
Dear old unfinished chamberi
No palace fairer seems
None to my heart is nearer
In all the land of Dreams
