But when the plans were matured
and laid before Betty Martin, she was
grateful, but obdurate.
II couldn't teach, it isn't in me!' h
explained. Mother tried 1t before h
married, and had a dreadful struggle.
And father was a lawyer, when he
ought to have stayed on the farm. We
think, mother and I, that when we
are born our work is born with us.
We're like the old milkwoman-you've
seen her--Who took her hnshand,s
route when he died. She says it's the
work she was born for, whether it's
proper work for a woman or not. She
says she is like the kings and queens

That's the way mother and I are dress
makers. I want her to put Dress

"There is another little reason"
Betty hesitated and drew a quick
breath-"which I'm afraid you will
think fantastic and foolish. My little
singing gift seems sacred because it
was my fathers only solace from pain

PastIlnes in Moderation.

A mild impeachment Of sport is some
times founded on the ailments induced
by athletic exercise. Here again 1t Is
excess that is invariably to blame.
Thus, rowing will soon find out a ten
dency to weak heart, but will not, l
fancy, weaken a sound one. DR.. Nor
gan shows, in his University Oars, that
Oxford and Cambridge men survive
the boat race by 40 years or more.
Too much rowing may undoubtedly
bring on ~staleness and lassitude; but
ali that is required to set matters right
again is rest. Cycling will, If overdone,
be productive of much discomfort. The
cyclist who scorches and then Stacks
will catch cold, and the cyclist who
rides too far will suffer fatigue and
nervou worry. Sleeplessness, particu-
larry after a bout of night riding, will
follow the strain, always present,
though not always consciously felt, Of
steering. 1t should, however, be borne
in mind by those who non too fairly
attribute the Observation-Disclosures and
curvity of spine seen in SO many BIZ
cyclists to the pastime itself, that the
cycling fraternity is largely recruited
from the sedentary classes.
AS for the much-discussed stopping
attitude of the racing cyclist, it would
be SO difficult for him to race efficiently
with compressed lungs that it may be
questioned whether this position can
affect the lungs in such a degree as
alleged. C~arelessness or excess in the
cyclist may be supplemented by faults
in the machine, and a badly-construct-
ed or wrongly-adjusted saddle placed
to far forward. may, I believe, especial
~ IN riding long distances on hard
roads induce local irritation and injury.

4 Wen Deserved Rebuke.

The Baltimore San of last Saturday had a
double-leaded editorial very vigorously call
ing halt to the onslaughts by the New Eng
land and Northern papers on the Maryland
ballot law, as amended at the extra session of
the General Assembly. The Sun denied that
the press of those sections were in a position
to criticise the Maryland law, for some fthe
New England states not only require that
voters shall be able to read and write but sew
eral also require that voters must also be tax
payers. Unfortunate people of intelligence,
who have TO accept charity, such as those in
Aims Houses or other charitable homes, are
denied the use of the ballot, while in Mary
land no qualifications are required as to the
possession of property or that voters be able
to read or write. The tickets will be printed
hereafter without party emblems, and names
of candidates will be placed alphabetically.
This is incidentally an educational qualifica-
ton, for unless voters can read it will be diff
cult for them to vote. The San forcibly de-
tends the Maryland law, not as perfect
measure, but an improvement upon the former
law and step in the right direction to secure
an intelligent electorate.

julius Caesar Burrows.

Julius Caesar Burrows, Senator from Mich
igan, an intense Republican who believes
Democrats have no rights-a partisan Repub-
lican under any and all circumstances-a ran
tankarous member of the House OF Represent
atives before he got into the Senate-is much
interested in the new Maryland ballot law and
has talked much about it for publication. He
does not know anything about the situation,
and is too radically partisan TO understand it.
He says
'tBut what shall we say of a State where the ne
gro vote is a small minority, and where the effort
TO disfranchse it can have no other foundation than
the determination of one portion whites to domi-
nate another portion of whtesY That is the situa-
ton we have presen ted to us in Maryland There
sole purpose ofthe new law is to disfranchse them
as to give one political party the control of the
Legislature"
The Democrats can win in Maryland over
the So, 900 Negroes and $1,000 white Repub-
licans, but the situation is this-the Republi-
cans have deep laid scheme to bring into
the state hordes of illiterate Negroes from
North Carolina and Virginia to put this state
under the control of INSCRIPTIONS politicians
of the Mudd- McComas stripe. This is one of
the purposes of the change in the form of The
ballot. Julius Caesar Burrows, if he were
not so blind, could see the change is a proper
protection But so state is Republican he
is not particular as to the means employed in
making it So No matter, however, what he
thinks, Maryland by its laws does not intend
to invite to this state the iliterates of other
states. If julius Caesar Burrows is so much
interested in illi.erate Negroes let him invite
them to Michigan.
