The Mason City Times-Herald pays
, ha 8followip,, commitment tn the wife of

The Mason City Times-Herald pays
the following compliment to the wife of
q former and well-known minister of
this city: While the people talk about
the fitness of preachers for certain
charge, little or nothing is said regard
ing the fitness of the preachers wife.
While the Methodists of Mason City
hail with delight the return of Dr. Van
Ness, because of his individual fitness,
there is great deal of satisfaction to
know that he comes back because of the
fact that his wife is such a help to the
church and to the community. Mrs
Van Ness Is one of the most capable
pastors wives that we ever knew. She
seems to be conversan, with all depart
ments of church work. And not only is
she conversant with the work but she is
very active in whatever she UNDER
takes to do. What she does she does,
and you know that it is done. In mis-
sionary work she Is a power because
she has read extensively and caneSpress
herself 80 elegantly. In the work of the
Ladies' Aid she is just as efficient, will
Ing to work or ready to direct. and
splendid anywhere. AS a singer she Is
great help to the church here. Her voice
is such that she could demand nice
salary in the biggest and best of
churches, but her work here is all graf
uitcus Mrs. Van Ness is appreciated in
the Methodist church Of Mason City,.
and we can see no harm in telling It
right out. DR.. Van Ness is all right, ano
SO is his better hail."

THE ANGLo-sAxoN SECRET.
why the United states aud England
Are To-day the saightiest
Of Nations.

The source of national greatness.
says Edmund Noble in Atlantic, is
not only the results in the individual
of the life now being lived by peo-
pie, but it is also-a high degree of
race yirility being understood that
subtle thing which we call brain
structure on which are impressed
the whole experiences of people in
the past. If a nation is In decay, the
past goes for little, however glorious
it may have been; but If people be,
physiologically speaking, in the as
cendant, then it takes its strength or
weakness from the character OF its
heredity. This is why the United
States and Great Britain are to-day
the two mightiest and most durable
nations in the world. Satisfying in a
high degree the conditions Of social
efficiency, they have both had rich
race experiences, and it is these ex-
periences which. impressed upon the
structure Of the individual brain, have
made It strong with the whole
strength Of the WONDERFUL process and
story Of Anglo-sazon Development.

THE HEROINE OF TODAY.



The heroine Of modern life and fic.
ton is contrasted with the heroine OF
tae century's beginning by Robert
Grant, in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. In the following passage Judge
Grant leaves little doubt as to which
of the two he prefers:
Not only woman herself, but the
universe, rejoices in the new heroine
Of real life and contemporary fiction
the self-reliant, incredulous, sphere
seeking, critical, yearning modern
woman. Even the rose on her bosom
wears a prouder demeanor, as though
conscious of her changed estate. Who
would remand her to her insipid servi-
tude? Certainly not man. She has
become his true companion instead Of
his adoring doll. The Amelia Sedleys
have passed away from the face Of
the earth forever, and the Marcellas
rule in their place. And yet, with the
swinging of the pendulum In mind,
philosopher may be pardoned for
dropping a few violets on the grave
Of the heroine of the past; even on
poor Amelia SedIey Amelia, who
would certainly have bored this phi
losopher to the point Of WEAKNESS. &
Amelia Sedley was the sheer hero
Inc of the past without lights and
shadows. But her more attractive
sisters lie also in their graves, and
memories of some of them come back
to us fragrant with virtues in spite
of their limitations, which, 1t seems
to q philosopher, the new heroine
the Gibson girl cannot afford to dis
regard. They had no minds to speak
OF, It is true. That is, they were par
rot-hke In their repetition of what
their husbands and fathers and broth
ers told them was so; and their ener-
gies were devoted to household CON
eerns-the generation and rearing of
babies, the production Of delectable'
food, to darning, nursing, church
work and small charities, They were
generally timid and afraid Of mice,
disinclined to athletic exercise and
heroic undertakings; they had no
clubs and did not aim to be original
But think how dainty and pure-mind-
ed and tender they were! Dainty
with the niceness of dolls, pure mind
ed with the innocence Of the moated
grange, tender with the loving for
giyeness and foolish infatuation Of
idolaters, it may be, and yet dainty,
pure-minded and tender.''

AN IRISH JAUNTING CAR.
odd Article OF Transportation Met
with In the City OF
Dublin.

A loEg line of vehicles, outside cars
and cabs, some of them battered and
shaky, others sufficiently well look
ing, was gathering on two sides Of the
green. says Kate Douglas Wiggin, in
Atlantic, for Dublin, you know, is
'sthe car-drivingest city in the world .
francesca and had our first expert
ence the other day. It is easy to tell
the stranger, stiff, decorous, terrified,
clutching the rail with one or both
hands,. but we took for our model q
pretty Irish girl, who looked like
nothing SO much as bird on sway
ing bough. 1t is no longer called the
"jaunting," but the outside car, and
there is another charming word lost
to the world. There was formerly an
inside car, too, but it is almost uri-
known In Dublin, though still found
in some Of the smaller towns. An
outside car has its wheels practically
inside the body of the vehicle, but an
inside car carries its wheels outside.
This definition was given us by an
Irish driver, but lucid definition is not
perhaps an Irishman's strong point.
1t is clearer to say that the passen-
ger sits outside of the wheels on the
one, inside on the other. There are
seats for two persons over each of the
two wheels, and "dickey' for the
driver in front, should he need, to use
It. Ordinarily he sits on one side,
driving, while you perch on the other,
and thus you jog along, each seeing
your own side of the road. and dis
cussing the topics OF the day across
the s.well, Z as the covered-in center Of
the car is called. There are those
who do not agree with its champions
who call it .sCupid's own conveyance;"
they find the seat too small for two,
yet feel it bit unsoeiable when the
companion occupies the opposite side.
To me modern Dublin car with rub
Der tires and a good Irish horse is the
jolliest conveyance in the universe;
there IL q liveliness, an irresponsible
gayety, in the spring and sway of it;
an ease in the half-lounging position
against the cushions, unique charm
In travelling edgeways' with your
feet planted on the step. You must
not be afraid Of car if you want to-
enjoy 1t. Hold the rail if you must,
at first, though it's just as bad form
as clinging to your horses name
while riding in the Row. Your driver
will take all the chances that crowd
ed thoroughfare gives him; he would
scorn to leave more than an inch be-
tween your feet and Guinness beer
dray; he will shake your founces and
furbelows in the very windows of the;
passing trans. but he. is beloved by
the gods, and nothing ever happens
to him.

Love isn't quite as comfortable a
laziness, but it's lot cheaper.

in it and big garret.
A woman gets most Of her happiness
out Of remembering how miserable she
was some particular time before.
A woman is considered bright by the

Beds are comparatively scarce in
Russia. and many well-to-do houses
are still unprovided with them.
Peasants sleep on the tops of their
ovens; middle-class people and serv-
ants roll themselves up in sheepslxins
and lie down near stoves; soldiers rest
upon wooden cots without bedding,
and it is only within the last few
years that students in schools have
been allowed beds.--N. Y. Sun.
