A Missionary's Peril.

come the bread-winner.
To those whose former training has
been such that in such an emergency
1t may be turned to account there Is
nothing to say, but the very large ma
jority have nothing to fall back on.
and here the question presents itself
as to whether the most dutiful daugh-
tiers do not condemn the mothers who
have brought them up and deprived
them of the wherewithal to continue
to sustain life for their children and
themselves.
To the woman without training who,
because of dependent children. cannot
leave her home. there are many occu-
pations to which she may turn her at
tention. and the more pressing her ne
cessities become the less money she is
willing to accept for her labor. Dress

necktie making for the wholesale
houses. the making of dolls clothes
for the dry goods stores or art ex-
changes, the making Of bread, rolls,
candies and foods for the sick. or for
private customers. are tasks for the
city residents. while the country offers
opportunity for poultry and stock rails
ing. fruit and vegetable raising. dairy
products, etc. each of which requires
much hard labor, but is occasionally
productive of excellent returns.
Parents who have children owe to

Queen Victoria and Divine Right

When the queen spoke of her sub
1ects as loyal she meant 1t In the
mediaeval sense. The relation was
not. In her eyes, voluntary or senti-
mental, but imperative. If she had
been u wicked or Il foolish woman it
would have been very sad; but the
duty of obedience would in her idea,
nave been the same. Subjects must
be loyal" if they loved their SOW
ereign. SO much the better for them
and for her. but affection was not es-
sentiai. In her phraseology this con-
stantly peeped out: Il the queen"
my people," my soldiers" She re-
garded herself, professionally, as the
pivot round which the whole machine
OF state revolyes. This sense, this per-
maps even chimerical conviction of her
own indispensabflity, greatly helped to
keep her ON her lofty plane of daily
untiring duty. And gradually she hyp-
Noticed the public Imagination, so that
at last, in defiance of the theories of
historic philosophers, the nation ac-
cepted the queens view of her own
functions and tacitly concluded with
her that she ruled, a consecrated mon

self As One He'd Read OF Did Awake.
After doing odd things in his sleep
nearly all his life. Clifford Saddoris,
the only son of prosperous farmer
living near Dewitt. Iowa. has capped
them all by committing suicide while
in a somnambulistic condition. In the
middle of the night he got up, loaded
his gun with buckshOt. went down to
the barn and fired the charge into his
heart. making a frightful wound. His
father found him dead next morning.
The young mans sleep walking
feats had been for several years the
subject Of gossip among his neighbors.
He had been known to get I'D in the
night. do all the chores he was in the
habit Of doing in the morning and
return to bed without awakening. One
night he took his bed apart and was
carrying 1t upstairs again when he was
awakened. On another night he had
hitched up team and was driving Off
to work when his father woke him up.
Before he went to bed on the night
on which he killed himself, the young
man had been reading to his parents
story in newspaper about another
young farmer who committed suicide
IN the barn by firing a charge of buck
shot into his body. The story told
now the other farmer did 1t. and it
impressed young Saddoris greatly. He
expressed great sympathy for a man
whose mind was in such condition
tnat ne would so end his life Soon
atterward he went to bed. Some time
IN the night he killed himself in ex-
actiy the same manner as the man
of whose death he read.
HIS parents testified at the INQUEST
that he was happy and had no reason
to Kill himself but the verdict was
