AN UNTRAvELED PRESIDENT

! l.
h AN UNTRAvELED PRESIDENT
Head OF French Nation Makes Up for q
E# # Deficiency. tGs.s.ss
& President Loubet Of France is as
little. Of a traveller as the ex-president
of the United States. Writing of him
in the Century, Baron Pierre de Cou-
bertin says: 4 a Es. z5ss2 .s...
In our age and generation Emile
Loubett is one of the high priests of
Reason-not, it is true, after the fash
ion of Jean Jacques Rousseau, who in
pontifical fashion was wont to evoke
that same Reason when it had nothing
to say; but, on the contrary, after the
fashion of man who is we'll balanced,
sound in brain and body, and has made
a habit to consult reason when con-
fronted by each difficulty, listening to
its voice and never acting ex-
cept in line with it's counsels.
In our country it is oftener than
otherwise that one meets this
type of man among those who live, or
have lived, in contact with the SOIL
From this contact they draw a taste
for peace, and the habit of carefully
scanning the entire horizon and con-
sidering the arguments for an against
every question. When, in addition to
that, they have goodly share of edu-
cation, and strive continuously to add
to their knowledge, so that in a way
they keep well creased the machinery
of thought, they become at once mark
ed by an extraordinary superiority
over their fellows. President Loubet
is literary man. He has read enor-
mously, and because of his habit of
early rising, quite common among
country people, even at the Elysees
Palace, he finds time to read; and not
only read newspapers, but the reviews
and books. Is. He reads quickly, seizes
well the gist of a writing, criticizes
fairly, and in consequence gets much
profit from his reading. Besides that,
he is assisted by fine memory, which
not only recalls to him what he has
read, but also every scene through
which he has passed. In that way he
mas accumulated vast experience re-
lating to men and things. Only in one
point would this experience be likely
to prove weak. He has travelled little,
or rather, unless I am mistaken, he has
not travelled at all; and in order to
preside. over the destinies of a country
like France, which, owing to its i'm
portance as a colonial power, its past
history, and its. geographical position
on the globe, is obliged to have very
active foreign policy, this lack of ac-
quaintance with other lands is seri-
GUS inconvenience. Luckily the presi-
dent has quality which is precious
beyond others, and one that permits
him to overcome this very inconveni-
.ence. He understands admirably how
to listen. = h

the cook that all men were tickle and
that when they were away from one
they never thought of one at all and
were taken up with whoever was near
est them, and the cook had agreed fully
with all that the housemaid had said,
and the cook knew men If any one did,
she said.
So little Morning Glory hung her
leaves In sadness and quite forgot to
feel proud of her pretty pink babies,
for there were great many Of them
now.
Once she felt something tug at her
roots, and a rough hand grasped her;
then a kind voice said: Don't touch
that. Master loved the little vine, and
it must be left as it is" Oh, how re
neved little Morning Glory felt at these
words! She reached out and tried to
touch the speaker. but the maid hur-
ried away and never saw the little
green hands at all.
Soon the nights began to be chilly,
and one by one her babies left her and
fluttered to the ground, and she herself
grew pale and felt very weak and i'll,
and she feared that she was going to
die. How she wished that Somebody
would come backl She was afraid that
he would be too late.
One morning she heard the window
open, and Somebody again stood there
There was some one with him nova
beautiful lady-and he held her in his
arms and called her Sweetheart" In
his new happiness he had quite forgot
ten his little friend, and Morning
Glory's heart ached as she remembered
what the maid had told the cook.
Just then Somebody looked out and
saw poor little Morning Glory with her
leaves all faded and brown, and he re-
preached himself because he had not
thought of her before.
"Here, dearest" he said to the lady,
this is the little friend told you Of"
And he laid the withered little stem in
the lady's delicate hand
A glad thrill ran through the Morning
Glory, and she dropped 60 tiny seeds
into the soft open palm; then as the
wind swept around the corner sudden
shudder seized her. and little Morning
Glory was dead.
"See, my pet" said Somebody, point
ing to the little black seeds. that
means good luck. 1t is her gift to the
bride"
And the beautiful lady smiled, and
she put the seeds in little box, say
ing, Next year we will have another
Morning Glory vine there just like the
old one"
NO" said Somebody, "never one
quite like that, for that one was like
a little friend. 1t really seemed to
understand me. But then don't need
any one to understand me now, for
have you" And again the lady was
folded in a loving embrace. and Some
body kissed her softly.

INDIAN HOUSEKEEPING.
A Sioux Girls story of How HI
Trtbeswomen Live.

A Sioux Girls story of How Her
Trtbeswomen Live.
am going to tell you something about
the uneducated Eioux women, their dress
and their home life. The Sioux woman
does more work than the man does. OF
course, the women do not know very
much about housekeeping. In fact, they
don't know anything about it. They live
in log cabins, with only the ground. for
the floor, and they have but one room
In that room they have their beds In one
corner their trunks around the sides,
and they often have beautiful beadwork
hanging on the walls They have large
stove as near the center of the room as
they can. On that stove you will always
find q coffeepot and teakettle, and they
are always kept full If the women have
coffee to drink they are happy They
think it is great medicine; they call it
the black medicine.
In the summer the Indian women do
most Of their cooking out of doors. They
put short poles on each side of their fire
and third stick across from one to the
other, and on this they hang their kettle.
The women when at home are almost al
ways sitting in their tepee doing some
kind of beadwork
The women are always getting up
some kind of a feast-that is, they have
them very often-and especially if one of
their sons or daughters gets married they
will spend their last cent to make great
feast. They have a certain man go
around and tell every one to come to that
feast whenever it may be; then when he
has come back and told them that he has
told every one the women give him
horse. When they have the feast. the
women all dress up In their brightest
colors, paint their faces and put all the
beadwork they can on their little chill
dren They have great time talking,
especially the old women and men.
Z'he women's dresses are made with
cnly two seams, one on each side, so it
makes very loose dress. 1t is short in
the back and front and long on the sides,
and they almost always wear a long,
beaded belt and shawl In fact, they
wear a shawl all the time. When it is
not around the head and shoulders. it Is
tied around the waist. They never wear
a hat of any kind. Even on the hottest
days they are bareheaded.-Sio Girl in
Good Housekeeping.
