MARRIAGE MAKES DIFFERENCE
The Timid Wife IL Cherished. Bat
the Timid Old Maid IL
Laughed At.

Marriage, indeed, does make q Diff
the old maids might just as well learn.
writes Miss Lille Hamilton French,
in my Old Maids Corner" in
Century. My own first awakening
came when l saw my married
sisters calling to their staiwart
young husbands to help them over
some puddles in the road. And what
fuss they made! When they had
been helped over, they went on and
left me, the youngest, behind. I
called for assistance, too, it seemed
SO agreeable to command it. One of
my sisters, her hand still in that of
her husbands, looked back and said:
Its easy. Step on a stone and jump"
Then cuddling closer to her husband,
she walked on, not turning again.
l can remember, too, the wife OF
some college professor who had been
asked to meet me when I was perhaps
%. "Why, I thought you were mar
ried," she said to me as we shook
hands. "If I had known you were
single, never would have worn long
dress" 1t was her only long dress, I
learned afterward-thatw was why she
said "a" and not :'my"-a black silk
dress, by the way, which she had worn
for years, and which she made slow
neck" for dinner parties by unfasten-
ing the few top buttons. These early
experiences, and my having married
sisters, taught me much. Probably
every other old maid has learned, too,
that timidity and helplessness, for in
stance, so engaging in wives, are con-
sidered ridiculous in spinsters. Is not

COY ICORNERS IN HOMES.

Most sane persons are agreed that OF
all earthly places home should be made
attractive, pleasant, good, beautiful,
But curious it is to note that woman
club in Chicago, is out vigorously de
uouncing this almost universal belief,
cen:ering its opposition against coy
corners. A Mrs, George Watkins, pre-
sident Of the club had the temerity to
aver:
II saw so many coy corners and sofa pill
lows in a house once that truly doubted that
the mistress OF that home WAS moral woman.
Such an allegation as the above quo
tation implies the conclusion that Mrs.
Watkins is irrational if not laboring
under an hallucination. 1t would take
more than the mental dexterity of the
average logical mind to form relation
ship between morals and coy corners
The mistress of the home referred to- is
evidently a woman Of refinement,
whose chief delight is in her home, in
which she lavishes feminine taste to
make it attractive to the eye through
the sense of sight to the other senses,
for the definite purpose of making her
immediate environment charming for
her family and friends. But Mrs, Wat
kins sees in these hooks Of repose the
fangs Of vice, hidden in drapery and
furnishings, stirring her imagination
into mental contortions :hat witnesses
the citidal of morals undermined. No
one need be alarmed at the vagaries of
this particular person. 1t would be
we'll for her to remember the well
known Latin adage: HOm SOFT QW
mHy penSe Evil to him who evil
thinks.
Cozy corners are no more dangerous
than arm chairs or lounges or pictures
or any other adornment which coutri
butte to the beauty Of the home. One
prominent cause of marital infelicity,
the chief reason Of divorce, if statistics
can be relied upon, is the absence of
attractiveness in the home Men re
main away from it, and from lack Of
interest in the chief factors of the home
comes dislike OF each others company
until the inevitable divorce brings sepa-
ration and frequently re-marriage
Perhaps Mrs. Watkin will agree that
divorce and re marriage are not forces
for establishing morals in the com
munity.
The home should be made beautiful
even with the aid of coy corners
notwithstanding the onslaught against
them by the Chicago woman = club

THE GOVERNORS AMBITIONS.

Runor is current that Gov. La Fol
lette is casting out lines to succeed
Senator Quarles in the United State
senate. that he means to don the toga
and it is Furthermore said that his
friends are aiding him in his aspirations.
Gov. La Toilette, Of course, cannot be
elected to the senate without the aid OF
the people The people will elect the
legislature and its character will deter
mine who shall succeed Mr., Quarles.
The first thing the governor must do
is to see that the pledges made to the
people in the prediction campaign
are kept Two years ago the governor
before election made Gel tain pledges to
the people which were not fulfilled
The reason he assigned for failure was
lack of working harmony between the
executive and legislative branches Of
the government. The people condoned
the failure, accepting the excuse, re-
charging the governor with the duty Of
bringing into law the reforms he guar
antees
In common parlance it is up to the
governor" to redeem his pledges before
coquetting with further political pre-
ferment. II he should perforce, again
fail TO give the people more equitable
basis of taxation and a primary election
law that will work, his senatorial am
billions will be nipped in the bud. The
voters certainly will not broaden his
political horizon il, in narrower environ
ment, he shows himself unequal to con
tingencies which may face him. The
execution Of his pledges will give him
prestige, the n-fulfllment Of them
will show that he has been weighed in
the balance and been found wanting"
Let the governor now bend his ener-
gies toward taxation reform. The in
CAPABILITIES existing are menace to the
majority Of taxpayers, He has mater
ial to go on prepared by competent tax
alton commission and there is an over
whelming majority Of Republican legis
lators. The governor cannot carp at
the conditions, they are to his liking
therefore let him show his ability at
constructive craftsmanship The tax
payers do not expect an ideal system Of
taxation a system Of scientific accuracy.
Such an achievement in fallible com
munity Is impossible. But there can be
given to the people system upon
which TO base taxation which will be
satisfactory and stop forever the cutlery
which glazing inequality provokes.

CHINESE MILLIONAIRES.
Members Of Q Social Club Formed By
American Consul In the
Land Of Queus.

The fame of the Five O'Clock club
has extended to China and in that far
off land sort of junior organization
has sprung up which in some respects
eclipses the parent organization.
For instance: Doubtless several
millions of dollars are represented by
the members and guests who congre-
gate around the tables at the Bellevue
But the Chinese offspring gathers its
clans and at each sitting hundreds of
millions are represented, says an ex-
change.
Consul Robert McWade, just re-,
turned from Canton, is responsible for
the introduction of the Five O'Clock
club ideas into the far east. He saw,
when he first assumed the position Off
CONSUL that the Europeans stationed
there paid very little attention to the
natives in social way. In fact the rep1l
resentatives of the European powers
seemed to be on their dignity, SO the
Cinnamon naturally became as distant
as possible.
But, according to Consul McWader'
these same Cinnamon were as well if :
not better educated than their foreign ..
visitors and when it came to family:1
there were dozens who could trace
their ancestry back to the time when
Adam played whiptop or some game,
like it.
Then Consul McWade conceived the)
idea Of organizing Five O'Clock club.
He was one of the founders of the /.
original organiza ton here and he ,
thought that such diversion would ap-
peal to his Chinese friends. So well
did the plan succeed that after the
first dinner a permanent organization
was decided on and Consul McWade !
was unanimously elected president. !
Mrs. McWade, incidentally, enjoys the !;
honor of being the only woman who
ever participated at one of the BAN
quets and the other day she said that !
the parent organizati ton would have to I
be careful of it's laurels if compare
son of menus were attempted.
For official helpers Consul McWade n
had as secretary Poon Pu Lun, literary
chancellor of China, for treasurer the
imperial banker Of Canton, Chao Tit !
Shi, and his executive committee was h
made up of Lee Chez, a brother of WI
Ting-fang, Chao Tit Sang, the richest B
man in China, who has the entree to :
the celestial court at all times, and Il
Foon Tchi Ming, the richest jade mer-
chant in the world
With such an executive staff, dinners
of surprising magnifcence were ar
ranged and the orientals quickly APP
preciated the spirit of the occasion by 4
becoming as ready of wit and as de-
monstrative as their brethren of the
Bellevue.
1t is not in evidence how much the
Chinese Five O'Clock club helped, but
Consul McWade, with a district en-
bracing 1870, 900 square miles and s6,OOO,-
900 of people, had no bother when it
came to collecting the claims of Ameri-
cans arising from the Boxer outbreak. &

THE BEGGARS OF PARIS.
Deputy Plays Detective and Makes
Extraordinary Discoveries
Among Them.

M. Paulian, one of the permanent
secretaries of the chamber of depu.
ties, has carefully studied the word
"paupericulture," invented by Abra.
ham Dreyfus, and has, in various
disguises, followed the profession Of
beggar all over Paris, says a Paris
letter to the New York Times.
According to NJ. Paulian. the beg
gars of that city make an average of
nearly 20 francs day. They are d.
vided into district guilds, their CEN

which gives lists and special coun.
sells to subscribers.
Some of these are humorous and
instructive. One rich patron can only
be softened by the plea of no rent
and threatened expulsion. Another
gives no money. but never refuses
clothes. The clergy and pious peo-
pie can be got at with babies await
ing baptism, and young people re-
quiring the clothes to make their
first communion. A wealthy repub-
lican, on the other hand, only gives
to those who are sharp enough to
explain that they are the victims Of
the cures.

beggars is Populo, whose auxiliary
is the former proprietor Of an an

A WEALTHY GOVERNMENT

In commenting upon the unparalleled

to say. As matter of fact a govern

wealth. 1t can only be so by uniustly
taxing the people 1t is as follows:
THE finance of the national govern
ment closes the year in fully as marked
a state of prosperity as distinguishes the
