ENDURANCE.

If some great angel came to ne To-
night
Bearing two fatal cups and bade me
sip
The sweet contentment or the bitter
fight,
know fun well which draught
would kiss my lip.
Give me the suffering. Let me take
the dregs
OF LIES full cup Of bitterness and
share
The tortured hour of silent night that
begs
Oblivion from the pale eyes Of
Despair!
Then, and then only, shall my love be
free
From earth-born shackles. Gladness
never clears
The heart of selfish dTOss, or yields
the key
Which opes the foodgates Of enhal-
lowed tears.
Give me the suffering! But | would
be strong
To meet the hours braVely, with
song.

Some INSCRIPTIONS knave has be

AS a consequence the eastern paper
for which she writes is being sued for
10000
Away back in May. 1901, our Ella
presented one Of those tender, soul
full little pieces shc writes so nicely
taking as text a letter from Elmer
Greger Of Glenslidc. Pa. This letter
as printed in Ella Wheeler WilcoXs
column read as follows:

morality If he takes woman other
than his wife out riding, to theaters,
receives affectionatc letters from her
and exchanges presents? A claims
that such a man has no honor and is

other than pure, true women, but
think this can do me no hurt. What
say you?"
In the language Of the street Ella
Wheeler Wilcox fell to this. She not
only printed the letter with Gfeger's
name attached. but said such things
of him as made him feel abashed and
ashamed before his neighbors. He
felt particularly aggrieved, because,
as he says in his affidavit. he not
only did not write this letter, but
wrote no letter at all to Mrs Wilcox.

To add to the agony Mrs. Wilcox
accompanied the criticism with a
poem. 1t was a soulful thing. begin
ming. we do not make home of any
place we go" The injured Pennsyl-
vanian couldn't sec its relevancy as
applied to him.
In the article Mrs. Wilcox said:

Il think most women would, if
given the choice. prefer to have a
husband who was an occasional vic

"Of course, he will resent that
term, but when a married man owns

good time in the way of cscorting
other women about and receiving

displays the heart of a Mormon to

Mr. Greger denies that he ever
wrote the letter published by Ella

faithful to his wife and denies that
he has ever sought the company of
