Pennv,a stranee piaeoverv


Gov. Pennypacker, Of Pennsyl-
vania, who signed the bill designed
to muzzle the press of his state, has
discovered that the thing is not to be
done. The press defies him, and
treats hIm as the tool and fool he has
proved himself to be. The new law
is daily broken, openly and reioicing-
ly, Pennypacker himself being made
the special object Of the lawbreakers'
copteInpt and laughter.
What is he going to do about it?
Has he the courage to bring suits
under the preposterous statute which
while signing he defended in a pape
that demonstrated equally the empti-
ness Of his head and the soreness Of
his temper? Or will he order out the
militia to suppress the newspapers
that most insolently mock him? He
intimated that such might be his
course on proyocation, and certainly
no donkey in Office was ever more
cruelty switched than he.

Under a representative government
the execution Of law is absolutely
dependent on public sentiment. We
may have any amount Of good iegis-
lation on the statute book, but It is
Ineffective and futile If not sustained
by public sentiment. But who forms
this public sentiment that stands
behind the law? Ask the policeman,
or anyone concerned in law-enforce-
ment, and he will tell you the public
sentiment which counts is that which
is recorded by the ballot. But half
the community is silent when these
questions are decided. In many Of
these fights for righteousness which
the Watch and Ward Society has
waged, / have longed deeply that
the wives, mothers and sisters might
have a vote. | will not say that
they have not influence now, but it is
imperfect, inadequate and indirect.
As a rule, men manage the business,
and women the homes; therefore men
see that the laws relating to property
are sharply and strongly carried
out, but the laws relating to the pro-
lection of the home and of public
morals are inefIectively enforced. If
women could vote, / am sure that
this other part OF legislation would
be carried out also. At present, If a
man steals, the police chase him from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. If he
only ruins the daughters of the poor,
he is not pursued with half the zeal
or severity.
But it is said that women are not
all good; that many women would
turn out to defend the saloons and
other evil resorts. Now, I am not
worrying about the bad woman. In
the saloons there are nine men TO one
woman, and in the churches two or
three women TO one man. l have no
fear of any incursion of evil if women
were allowed to register their moral
earnestness at the polls. 1 advocate
the ballot for women not 50 much as
privilege as duty--not because
they want ii So much, but because we
need them sorely. l long to have
them allowed to have their voices
heard in favor Of those things that
are just, true, pure, lovely and Of
good report, in this great fight that is
always going on between light and
darkness.-Rev. Frederick b. Allen,
of Boston, Mass.

The four-leaved clover has been
viewed for many ages as the symbol
of luck Everybody looks for a
four-leaved clover whenever he
passes a field in which clover grows.
Now the clover does full honor to
its scientific name of trifolium (three
leaf because for it to have more
than that number is one of the
exceedingly rare occurrences of
botany.
Yet, despite its scarcity, the four.
leaved clover has been seon every
where lately. Jewellers have been
putting it into brooches, pins and
lockets and some extremely pretty
and unique designs have been made
with it for the center.
Surely this sudden plentifulness Of
what has been u rare plant must
havo set many folk to guessing
And here is the truth about it.
The four-leaved plant that has
become so common is not clover at
all, although it looks so remarkably
like clover. It is a plant that is
known under the scientific name of
marsilia quadrifolia This plant has
relatives growing in the swamps OF
almost all the world, and they all
look exactly like clover, and-they
all have four leaves.
But genuine four-leaved clover
may soon become as common as the
marsilia quadrifolia, for the Euro.
psan botanist, Hugo de Vries, has
succeeded in growing genuine four
leaved clover in fair quantities. He
says that it is merely necessary to
find some fonr-leaved clover plants
and save their sc1ds. He found that
Of the seeding IA per cent. would
turn out to be four-leaved.

Superficial Education

DR.. Francis B. Brant, principal of
the Central high school of Philadel-
phia, in recent address says that
many graduates of grammar schools
are boys and girls with "skim milk"
brains. 1t is assumed by this he
means that much of the TEACHING Of
today, especially in the public
Schools, is calculated to furnish the
student with theoretical rather than
with practical knowledge. He esd-
mates there nre at least six million
boys and girls in this country whose
education stops with the grammer
school, FROM there they go out to
seek hvihood with this deficient
equipment for their work. In bust
ness a practical knowledge is desired
and those who do not possess it are
at a disadvantage in the struggle
and they must either obtain it OF
fall behind in the race.

that Tulloch's statement was a

THE DEATH BED

We watched her breathing through thu
night,
Her breathing soft and low,
AS I'm her breast the wave Of life
Kept heaying to aud fro.
So silently we seemed TO speak,
So slowly moved about.
As we Ind lent her half our powers
To eke her living Out.
Our very hopes belieu our fears,
Our fears our hupes helied--
We thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when she died
For when the morn came. dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet oyelids closed--sh0 had
Another morn than ours.

For q woman,s corna

The Philadelphia North American
has a novel suit on its hands. 1t has
poked fun at Governor Pennypacker
and cartooned him most unmerciful
ly, hut so far he has refrained from
giving that paper the luxury of a
lawsuit, for which it has evidently
been piniug Now. however, it has
one which may amuse if it does not
fully satisfy its longing. A woman
found a peculiar ear of corn 1t was
shaped like a hand with a well
developed thumb and fingers. She
took her curiosity to the paper and
requested that cut of the ear and
an advertisement be inserted. This
they promised, but failed to do and
the somewhat irate lady went to
demand an explanation and a return
of the freak ear. The ear could not
be found and now she sues the paper
for ten thousand dollars damages
Her corns according to her view
are very valuable.

CAN'T Find his Ideal

Rev. Brownback, the pastor who
advertised for a wife, gave last Sun
day at camp meeting in Reading
his views of the replies and women
he met, some thousand more or less,
in pursuing his search, and says not
one met his ideal. We have heard
of the man who walked all through
the woods to find a nice cane and
picked up at the last a crooked stick.
Pastor B. may meet with the same
result. 10 is TO DO fopel, however,
that in the end he will find a wo
man with more sense than he appar-
emily possesses, and one who will
keep him from making both him
self and the sacred cause he Processes
to represent a laughing stock. The
idea of man trying to make a
sermon out of his matrimonial
quests is simply farcioal.
