The experience Of Miss Stone.
the ransomed missionary, among
the brigands as now being told by
herself in series of articles in
McC lure's magazine, are Intensely
interesting and at times exciting
and thrilling. But it seems to me
Miss Stone is laboring under a
delusion in giving Providence all
the credit for her rescue or deliver
ance from the brigands. Mr.. Prov
idence may have had his share in
the job, but Miss Stone should not
overlook the fact that there were
some human agencies cooperating
with him. She makes herself
appear somewhat egotistic in pre-
Stunning that Providence would do
SO much for her, while he refused
even to raise his little finger toward
giving our president a chance to
escape. This great and good man,
president of the greatest nation on
the globe, could not induce Prov
idence to let hira escape. But
there may have been another and
more important job waiting for
him elsewhere.
1t was at this time that Miss
Stone was experiencing great hard
ship, suspense and apprehension
at the hands of the brigands, and
having been in the employ of
Providence and giving I'LL her
time to his service, he certainly
should have protected her; but the
question naturally arises, were Miss
Stones services of greater import
ance among the Bulgarians or our
own people in the United States
than were the services of Mr.. Nc
Kinley? And besides Mr. McKin-
ley had more friends to assist and
intercede in his behalf.

So whatever may be said of the
faults and shortcomings Of this
column, from time to time, we
assure you the writer will try to
feel right. He will simply call
things by their proper names, as
understood by him, stripped of the
glazing drapery of conventional
usage. He will not attempt to
turn ideas over and over, fitting
them first to one phrase, then
another, until the verbal drapery
just suits him. It should be borne
in mind that when q man has been
here seventy-nine years, eleven
months and thirty-two days with
out talking, his thoughts fail to
flow smoothly into graceful SEN
tence mould, his think machine
gets rusty, his grammatical and
rhetorical apparatus get out of
gear, his tongue gets out of Joint
and even his pen has kinks and
chunks of apoplexy in it.

Evolution of Chief Arthur.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers was ten years old when in 1873
L. NJ. Arthur was elected its chief. The
first decade of the orders existence
had been formative period devoted
more to the task of obtaining recruits
and of perfecting the lines of organiza-
tion than to battles for recognition or
scale of wages. In 1867 the beneficiary
feature of the brotherhood was intro
duced, and the general impression of
the public at the time of the accession
of Arthur to the leadership of the en-
gineers was that the association was
more of lodge and an insurance order
than n labor union. 1t seems strange
today, when the name of Arthur is a
synonym for conservatism and the con-
duct of labor union without strikes,
to know that he was elected to the
post he now holds by the war party OF
the brotherhood.
Ii is still more strange to know that
for the first ten years of his leadership
he was almost constantly engaged in
leading his men through one bitter
strike after another and that his name
was eXecrated rs a radical and DEM
agoguc and as one of the most danger.

given in honor of Miss Weston's work
among the boys who sail the sea.
While still a girl she developed an
interest in the English tars and found
ed an institution called the Sailors
Rest, which provided clean, cheap ac-
commodations for Jack as soon as lie
landed, gave him medicine, books and,
most important Of all, amusement and
defended him from the harpes who
had robbed him so long.
Miss Weston gradually interested all
classes in England in the work. The
first "rest" was built at Devonport.
Branch homes have been established in
most of the seaports. She went from
one to ar Ither making friends Of the
sailors, influencing each one of them,
writing to him when at sea, caring for

to draw him to the right and to God.

To Check Government by Injun ction.

Judge Bartlett of Georgia, one of the
leading Democrats Of the present con-
Gress, has introduced bill in the house
to regulate the trial of cases of con-
tempt of court.
Bartlett's bill proposes to divide con-
tempt cases into two classes-direct
and indirect.
For contempt of the latter class all
persons thus charged have the right OF
trial by jury, which. under existing
law, is denied. while for direct con-
tempt the court may punish the Offend
er summarily without written accusa'
ton.
Speaking Of his bill, Judge Bartlett
said: '"The purpose Of my bill is to
check as far as possible government by
injunction and insure the freedom OF
the press.
''It is the fashion nowadays for cor
porations and combinations, when they
have trouble with their employees, to
rush into the courts and obtain sweep
ing injunctions, and then, If any of the
employees violate the spirit of the in
junction, they are hauled into court
and punished for contempt.
at is neither fair nor Just to charge
n man with contempt of court for an
act committed outside OF the court.
For contempt of this character the par
ty or parties should have right of trial
by Jury"

NOVA Scotia Women.

The women of Nova Scotia are fine
race, both physically and mentally,
more buxom and sturdy than the aver
age American woman of today. Nova
Scotia gipls, as n rule. are distinctly
pretty. with refined features, superb
compilations and beautifully nodded
figures. They are not afraid of work.
and wholesome work gives them fine
physiqles. They are known in Amer-
ca by the quality of the service they
render when they accept employment.

native American girls of good family,
education and breeding.
The Nova Scotia women are capable
In various ways. They make equally
good schoolteachers and farmers wives.
Many of them have excellent business
and executive abilitles-much better
ofteutmes than the men Of the family
and these abilities are exercised In
managing farms and making and look
ing after numbering contracts, etc.
while their husbands, fathers and
brothers devote themselves solely te

Minimum Wage $1,000.

Professor Albion Small of the Univer-
sty of Chicago believes that in the geu-
eral wage scale the minimum should he
$1,000 year and the maximum should
be $4,000.
He advanced this idea in a lecture
before the Central Y. Nj. c. a. of Chi
cago recently on Social Economics"
Professor Small does not believe that
any man has a wage earning capacity
worth more than the present salary OF
the president of this country, and he
believes that no man can live, bring up
n family and enjoy the ordinary human
happiness on less than $1,000 year.
He would solve the wage problem by
adjusting all men to this scale and by
barring all women and minors tom tho
wage earning necessity.

DON'T MIND THE YEARS.
It's Not Timv- hut Lock Of Mcnta
Frcshncss, THAT Ages Woman.

It's Not Timv- hut Lsck Of Mental
Frcshncss, yhat Ages Woman.
Women have many things yet to
learn, but one lesson which should bo
indcliby impressed upon the feminine
mind Is that not years, but lack of
mental freshness makes a woman old.
The highly priced girlish years. from
eighteen to twenty-nyc,are really years
of babyhoOd.
The most beautiful women in the
world. able to attract and TO hold the
greatest men, have almost invariably
been women past thirty. Very often
they have been past forty.
\ woman lacking full mental dcvel-
opment Is like n green peach. She
may be very pretty to look at, but that
is all. or course, If she Is to spoil be-
fore maturity. better take her MS you
would take tie peach, when 1t is a lit
tie green rather than after it has
spoiled.
And that fact-that women of matu-
rity attract men worth while-is very
unimportant compared with this other
fuct-the mature woman is the best
mother.
Constantly, in studying the lives OF
those who succeed, you find that 1t IL
the tenth or even the fourteenth child
that makes the family famous. Car
lyle and Napoleon will do for cxam'
ples in widely divergent fields.
Each was SO fortunate as to have
for mother n mature woman, at her
best when the child was born.
Women make constantly the great
mistake of letting the years count.
Don't let them count.
Women are as different from one nm
other as are cabbages from rosebushes.
If you are a roscbush, don't consent to
be old at the age which ends a cab
bage's career. You are beginning to
realize your possibilities when the cab
bage type of woman has ended her
lifc's usefulness.
And remember thiS-you need not be
a cabbage woman unless You want TO.
Keep young, keep cheerful. Keep up
your interest not merely in what your
husband or best young man has to say
about himself. but In every question -

Tactful Wome en-.

Perhaps if there is one thing which
oils the delicate springs of society
more than another 1t is the exercise of
tact. 1t is n gift, not an acquired habit,
for the tactless woman cannot see that
she lacks that innate courtesy which
would make it impossible for her to
say things best left unsaid." Kindli-
ness of heart, some people call 1t, but
that is by 10 means an accurate defini-
ton Of this grace. Rather is it the
power of putting yourself in another
persons place and feeling instantane-
ously what would be the effect of such
and such a remark on them, says
Home Notes. Certainly tactful women
are the pleasantest Of companions, for
their intention enables them to see
when it is best to keep silence and also
when word in season may put mat
tiers straight.

The first thing to do on getting an old
pewter piece" Is to have it thoroughly
cleaned, and this is Il really difficult
task to the amateur, especially when,
as frequently happens, it has been left
untouched for some time, perhaps be-
cause it has been lying by unused or
to give the truly 'old" look which the
dealer values. If the pewter is very
dirty, which is generally the case, its
soft surface being inclined to absorb
grease and dirt it should be boiled in
strong soda water and afterward
cleaned with the usual preparations.
