THE WOMAN PROPOSED.
One Marriage Thus Contracted and
How Ii Resulted

one Marriage Thus Contracted and
How Ii Resulted.
Clara Morris, the noted emotional ac-
tress, on being asked for her views on
the question, should women propose?"
told of u woman of her acquaintance
who had proposed to a man and had
been accepted by him.
The woman was breadwinner
whose boundless energy, capacity for
hard work and eye to the main chance
marked her out for success. She was
ity of the shy, reserved man who sat
beside her at the boarding house table
and she was impatient at his lack of
push. "1e will let others use him all
his life unless take him in hand" she
said, and though she saw that he was
secretly in love with the gentle, lovely
little girl who sat opposite him at the
table she marked him out for her own,
proposed TO him and married him.
She succeeded in pushing her hus-
band to a high round of the financial
ladder, but there were many riffs i'm
the Lutte of their domestic happiness.
She was a clever, brilliant woman,
who thought her time too valuable to
be wasted on the small details of
housekeeping and child training. She
had to keep in touch with the world
OF literature, art and fashion, she said,
or where would her work be?
SO 1t came about that the father was
the mother in that family. He it was
who night and morning found time to
climb to the nursery, the ugliest, dull
est, barest room in the house, and,
leaving dignity outside the door, kiss
and hug and romp with the three chill
dren, tell them stories, receive their
small condolences, comfort them in
their grievances and later on help
them out in hard school exercises. In
return he was boundlessly loved by the
trio, particularly the oldest girl. who
by some strange irony of fate greatly
resembled the sweet girl whom the
man had loved
The mother saw this perfect love
and understanding between father and
children. and it hurt and angered her.
She talked with n tone of bitterness at
her Sunday evening receptions of how
much her husband owed to her. "He
never would have reached his posi-
ton," she said. elf he hadn't had me
to lean upon and push him. He'd have
been plodding along at salary yet"
And her husband, who had a touch of
chivalry about him, would answer, with
patient little smile:
Yes, my dear; your courage and
cleverness have been n great assist
ance to me-"
But when he was on bis deathbed
and to Clara Norris, lifetime friend,
he was speaking OF his life as failure.
he said concerning his marriages: "You
knew how ii happened. You have
thought me weak because l accepted
her. You cannot judge. a woman
cannot understand what n man feels
In such position. | was young, in
experienced. | had n great respect for
women. When she proposed to me, l
was so ashamed for her that could
not have looked her I'm the face until
had said yes
well, l have done my best, and so
has she. She is good woman, clever
and capable. / have accomplished
more than should have done without
her. But'-Ee sighed heavily-"what
does 1t all amount to-money, position,
all? Husks, husksl For eighteen years
l have hungered for the bread of life,
which is loye"-Sunny South.

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES.
"rhey Are Mf-under.tood.. Says one

Who Knows Them Intimately
nave had rare opportunity to study
tue inside life of the foreign mission
airy. am free to say that so far as
their external life is concerned there is
no class or people more fully misunder-
STOOD ana more persistently nisreport-
co. some say they live lives of ease in
comparative luxury; others that those
VINO so into missionary work do so be-
cause there Is no chance of their get
tlng comfortable living at home.
Others think OF them as n lot of long
haired fanatics who have n strange
conception of religious duty and who
under the impulse of that conception
have gone into unciyiIized regions TO
live.
1t Is not generally known that the
most or the missionaries of the old,
Wen established mission boards are
graduates of our best American col
leges and universities and who have
had, in addition TO their university
training, postgraduate course of from
three TO five years. The missionaries
who are finally sent are selected from
a larger number Of applicants. and
they are in many cases the honor men
or their classes. There are few Amer
lean colleges or universities which
have not graduates in the foreign mis-
sionary service who bear degrees civ
On by the alma mater for distinguished
scholarship. These people go to unciv-
ilized countries for the most part and
take up their abode among rude and
savage people.
1t is not to be wondered at that for
eign missionaries have adventures
which are hardly paralleled by any
class of people in the world. The life
of many a missionary is filed with
marvellous experiences, to which he
gives little attention, seldom referring
to them in conversation, almost never
writing about them and regarding
them as the merest incidents to the
work he is trying to do. They not in
frequently lose their lives through the
perils of the country and the savagery
of the people. Little is said or done
about it, and so the world is kept in liz.

FINANCIAL DISTURBANCES.
Democrats Fear 1t if Gold and Silver
Are INTERCHANGEABLE.

Washington. ID. c., Jan. 20.-The
democratic members Of the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures have agreed on minor
ity report on the bill directing the Sec
rotary of the treasury ito exchange
gold for. legal tender silver dollars, and
the report will be presented to the
house today by Mr.. Shaforth. The re-
port takes the position that the pass
age of the bill is certain to produce
financial disturbances. The following
general proposition is laid down:
Our government has never conced
ed the right to the holder of silver del
lars to demand from the treasury gold
therefor nor to the holder of gold TO
demand silver dollars therefor Such
demands always have been refused at
the treasury. 1t is the notes and bonds
of the government that are payable in
either gold or silver at the option o.
the holder"
No nation on the face of the globe
requires its eXchequer to exchange
gold for silver. This is a new policy
in the treatment of the precious met
ais Why should this. the greatest
silver producing nation in the world
be the first to strike blow at one OF
It's greatest industries?
All representatives, regardless of
political affiliations, should condemn
such reckless legislation.

THEY CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in MIDI October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. All the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
tiers. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
