MANS IDEAL LOVE FOR WOMEN

What is the highest ideal OF mans
love for women?
1t is a more difficult question to an
swer than it's companion-wonian'
: ideal love for man-because woman is
more difficult being to satisfy in the
matter of the affections than man.
Given an orderly home. well sup
piled table, and tactful cheerful wo-
man to reign, and the average man is
content with his domestic relations
But emotional woman wants continu-
GUS praise. a frequently occurring
touch of sentiment, and even a mis-
understanding. now and then, followed
by a reconciliation, is sweeter to her
than a monotony of unexpected salts
faction.
The ideal lover takes into consider
alton all these peculiarities of feminine
temperament, and adapts himself to
them in a reasonable degree.
The lover who is'at once kind, sym
pathetic and masterful. is seldom found
yet he alone illustrates the highest or
der of love.
The ideal lover is he who commands
his wife's or sweetheart's respect and
admiration. together with her love;
who makes her realize that his stand
ards of womanhood and of life are
high, and that he expects her to do her
part toward maintaining them, and
who is capable of drawing fine line
between devotion and servility.
A man must be a woman's truest
friend in order to be also her ideal low
err. He must possess appreciation of
all her best qualities. sympathy for all
her feminine weaknesses. the courage
to warn her when her highest good
demands it, and the wisdom to direct
her when counsel is needed. He must
be delicate enough never to make her
feel her financial dependence upon him.
and he must possess the will power
Of self-control to make his loyalty to
her under all conditions that which he
expects of her.
Yes. he must be strong enough to
Keep her from leading him into finan-
:ial ruin. and lover enough to keep her
to his demonstrations of af-
lection. Friend. defender. lover. com
.ade. mate-all these must be he who
possesses 1.-The highest type of love"
or woman.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

WHEN LOVE IS DEAD.

When 1--we Is dead. draw thou the lattice clo04
Shut out the world with all its blare and din;
Rain down the petals OF the faded rose
Lest pity enter in.
When love is dead. weave thou a checkcred pail
OF broken promises and faith unkept,
For in the twilight. when the soft dews fall,
Thy heart shall know love wept.
The bee shall drone his homely, humming note
Upon thine until thy day shall pass;
The wood bird shall rcproach thee from the moat
And things that throng the grass.
A little child shall look with wondering eye
Into thine and greet thy smile with tears;
4 butterfly with ghostly wings shall die
And haunt thee through the years.

GONE TO SEE IF THE DREAM is
TRUE"


TRUE"
Meeting the eyes as the leaves unfold,
Such the heading; and for the rest,
Some one had dreamed OF a mine of
gold
Thousands of miles away in the west.
Sold the roof-tree his fathers knew,
Set his face for that mountain mine
Gone to see if the dream was true"
Where are the children? Night is here,
Over the meadow the shadows creep.
Hours ago they crossed the weir,
Thridded the wood and climbed the
steep.
Hand in hand, brave Kitty and Will
Followed the beautiful fieeting clue
Chased the rainbow over the hill
Hurried, to see if the deram was true.
All they cannot escape the dream
God has placed is his own good plan,
Giving them faith in the things that
seem.
Hand in hand, with a radiant smile,
Altar-plighted, the world all new.
Treading a rOse-embroidered aisle
All, let us hope that the dream is truei
Comes time when the light is dim,
Feet unfaithful and fingers slow
Laggard to hear or voice the hymn,
Listless to read. and blind to sew
Cross the hands! For against the wall,
Shines the City-beyond-the-Blu
Soon it is said, of each and all,
Gone to see if the dream is true

lanthropist to give copy to every English speaking parent!' Mrs. Gilman is a pro- gressive and a thoughtful and original writer, though she may not please some of the narrow-minded old conservatives who do not hesitate to express themselves as believing that woman's only sphere is be- side a cook Stove-and an old-fashoned one at that. Mrs. Gilman now possesses an international reputation as a lecturer and writer of great force and ability and is a forceful exponent of those who stand for the worlds progress and uplifting, and especially for that class which has hither- to been known as the weaker sex.'
 A little volume published in England and more recently in this country that has caused a great deal of comment and great deal of praise is "An English Wo- mans Love Letters" It seems that there Is an explanation in the form of a pre- face which rather intimates that these re- markable letters were written by real woman to real man, and published after the death of the two parties. The concen- sus of opinion seems to be that they are too good to be true" They are written by a woman supposed to be 22 years of age to lover half a year younger. There are sui flctent quotations given from the man to enable the reader to judge of his mind and character And what Is untold Is artisu- cally contrived to stimulate the curiosity and lead to such a variety of conjectures that some one commenting on the book TO- gently said: ''Tfe most slender skeleton of a plot Is vouchsafed upon which endless conjectures and solutions may be hung. If there were such thing school for writers, 1t would be interesting to give An English Woman's Love Letters as theme, to see what variety of compositions would result" The book is pronounced to be one of unusual fascination and of high literary quality. At least it seems at present to be d fascinating subject to discuss.
 It is true that realism In fiction has had the ascendency for the past few years with the naturalistic movement close behind; but now we are to. have return of TO- nance in literature. In the latter part or the 18th centurp material conceptions of all kinds momeptarially triumphed and in the realm of letters we had schools which merely sought to reveal what the eye could see and what could be analysed. MT. Maurice F. Eagen, professor of English At- erature in the Catholic University at Wash ington, recently discusses this subject and dwells with pleasure on the fact that he sees an incoming wave of spiritual vibra- ton. Professor Eagen said: "Zoa, in- stead of being the founder of school, is the beginning and the end of an illogical attempt in literature to dig around the roots of animal life in search of the mon- strous grubs that infest them. Literatue, one sees, has for some time been forging checks upon the Bank of Science, just as that bank was engaged in playing the same

AT FIRST GLANCE
It Would Appear That Local Remedies
 Would be Best for Cure of Catarrh

| It would seem at first glance that catarrh being disease of the mucous membrane that salves, sprays, etc, being applied di- rectly to the membranes of the nose and throat, would be the most rational treat ment, but this has proven not to be true. The mucous membrane is made and re- paired from the blood and catarrh Is a blood disease, and any remedy to make permanent cure must act on the blood | and when the blood is purified from catar- rhal poison, the secretions from the mucous membrane will become natural and healthy In this climate thousands of people seem | scarcely ever free from some form of ca tarrh; 1t gets better at times, but each win ter becomes gradually deeper seated and af- ter time the sufferer resigns himself to 1t
 as a nece Ssary evil.
 Catarrh cures are almost numerous as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all so in- convenient and ineffective as to render their
 use nuisance, nearly as annoying as ca tarrh itself; anyone who has used douches sprays and powders will bear witness to
 their inconvenience and failure to really cure.
 There are a number of excellent internal
 remedies for catarrh, but probably the best and certainly the safest, is a. new remedy
 composed of Eucalyptol, Hydrastis, San guinaria and other valuable catarrh speci- ficS.-
 to the taste and sold by druggists under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and any,
 one suffering from catarrb may use these tablets with absolute assurance that they contain no cocaine, opiate any poison ouS mineral whatever.
 A leading druggist in Albany speaking of
 catarrh cures, says: T have sold various
 catarrh cures for years, but have never sold any which gave such general satisfac- ton as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. They con-
 tain in pleasant, concentrated form all the
 best and latest catarrh remedies, and ca tarrh sufferers who have used douches, sprays and salves, have been astonished at the quick relief and permanent results ob- tained after weeks of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets" All druggists sell full sized packages for fifty cents

game with the Bank of Theology" Pro- lessor Eagen has a most original point of view, but he puts forward many pursua- slVe and convincing arguments to support his views. In conclusion he says: Rev erence and mysticism are coming into vogue again, and with them the romance. A man who does not today assume that he would like to believe if he could, is as much out of fashion as the man who doubted Spencer and Huxley twenty-five years ago. It Is the old motion of the pendulum Therefore romance is king. Poetry Is even coming into vogue; the poets are strug- gling out of their twilight and 1t will soon be day for them. Everybody who Is rich looks around for ideals, and everybody who Is not rich hopes to acquire some as soon as he can afford to keep them,'
 Was 1t not Hallam who said: Upon these three columns-chivalry, gallantry and religion-repose the fctions of the mid dle ages, especially those known as TO- mance.'" And are not these three good columns for our present day fiction?

It is said that the marriage of Miss Mary D. Wilkins to Dr. Charles Freeman of Me- tuchen, N. Y, has been postponed in order to allow her to finish her new story, "The Lions Share"
 4 book which will soon be published will be of interest to a large number for 1t will contain one hundred of the best speeches which have been delivered at the Lotos Clubs table during the past thirty years. It will be entitled 'The Afterdinner Speeches at the Lotos Club,' including the efforts of men like Charles Kingsley an1 Wilkie Collins, Mark Twa.A and Wu Ting Fang. The secretary of the club, MT Ches- ter s. Lord, has charge of the subscription list.
 Miss Julia Marlowe appeared last week as the heroine in Ronald MacDonalds "The Sword of the King" and 1t Is said that she has written to the author to express her delight at the opportunities offered by the character of Phillipa Drayton. She also adds that she is industrously engaged in studying the history of the period of Will liam III, as found in Maccaulay, during which time the action of the book and play takes place.
 So Mme Sarah Grand, who was expected dn this country by the first of January to enter upon an extended featuring tour Is not to come at present after all. It seems that her very successful tour in her own country, speaking she did everywhere to crowded and enthusiastic audiences, has made 1t necessary for her to rest awhile Consequently she has deferred her extend ed featuring tour in this country until next autumn, and possibly it is just as well.
 
 Dr. Gonna Doyle Is quoted as having said recently in regard to his redoubtable hero, Sherlock Holmes: That does not say however, that because he (Holmes) Is dead I should not write about him again if wanted to-" In this connection a recent re- view remarks: Years have passed since Holmes perished in the Alps, and although his body was never recovered, we are quite sure that Dr. Doyle, after all this time, would never commit the histrionc blunder of having the death turn out to be a hoax" Nevertheless the bare possibility of having Dr. Doyle again take up this interesting subject is pleasant to contemplate.
 One of the most widely read and dis cussed books the past year was Mrs. Char lotte Perkins Stetsons Women and Eco- nomics" Mrs. Stetson has since become Mrs. Gilman and has recently published a volume which bids fair to prove even more successful than its predecessor. It is en- titled, Concerning Children" and of it the New York Times says: "Wanted-A phil

A Difference In EcIIpses.

In the House the other day an appropria- ton of $1000O to enable a party of astron- omers to witness an eclipse of the sun was being considered, says the Washington Post Representative Cannon announced that the eclipse would take place next May, would be visible at Sumatra, and would be the most extraordinary eclipse In the tide of time" It would last, he said, 19 minutes.
 "I would like to ask" said Representa- tive Richardson, wherein that eclipse will differ from the recent eclipse of the sun witnessed in this country?
 'It is a Sumatra sum-" responded MT. Cannon, quite seriously, "and the eclipse is longer. Our baby was shorter.'

WANT QUARANTINE REMOVED.
The People of North Eastern Alaska
 t.Saim Small Pox Scare is Hurtful.

The People of North Eastern Alaska Saim Small Pox Scare is Hurtful
 Seattle, Wash, May 14@The steam CT Dirigo from Skagway and way ports, brings news that the people of Southeastern Alaska are much ever cised over the small pox scare and are making strong efforts>to counteract the effect of 1t on travel to Lynn Canal and way ports. A public meeting un- der the auspices of the chamber of commerce at Juneau has been held with a view to taking action to have the quarantine removed by the gov ernment.
 This meeting was in progress when the Dirigo sailed from Juneau on the evening of May ?. Southeastern Alas ka ports complain that the small pox scare has the effect of seriously dis eliminating against American conner cial interests from Seattle north,- for the reason that there is no quarantine against Canadian ships from Victoria and Vancouver.
 Special officers have been appointed at Skagway and Juneau to maintain a perfect quarantine against neighbor- ing Indian villages and camps and a corps of physicians is busy vaccinating Indians.
