Journalism and Cranks. ,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser. ~
Eminent authorities on insanity take the
same view of the harmful influence of SEN
sational newspap per accounts of crime that
Ex-Governor Hamilton of Illinois took in
the following utterance in Chicago yester-
day: THE tendency is to excite the public
mind and present thieves, highwaymen and
ba nd to as heroes. and many boys and weak
minded men are influenced to disrespect
law and frown upon decency." Much the
same thing is to be said of exaggerated ac-
counts of the efforts made by cranks from
time to time to get access to the President
either at the White House when he is
travelling The invariable effect is to set
other cranks in motion, excite their
diseased imaginations into unusual activity,
and start them for Washington or any other
point at which they can create a scene
There are too many cranks ready to be
set on fire. by the words of a philosophic
anarchist as Emma Goldman set CZolgosz
on fire. The newspapers seldom preach
anarchy whatever else they may do to
stimulate cranks to activity.

VOCATION OF THE WIFE.
A Girl May Stay Too Long at Books,
but Cannot Be Overeducated.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Now. the occupation of being a wife, in
Guiding presumably, as 1t does, the occupa-
ton of being mother, is one of extremely
comprehensive scope. Some women who
do very well at 1t, and some women who
have been profusely educated make pretty
bad work of 1t. 1t Is a calling in which
health goes for more than accomplish
ments, that phase of wisdom which we
call "gumption" for more than learning,
instinct for much, and character for most
of all. But you cannot overeducate a girl
for the occupation Of being wife. You
may keep her too long at her books and
out of what we call society,"" you may
teach her to value unduly things of minor
Importance; you may misdirect and mis-
educate her in various ways; but you can't
educate her to think so wisely on so many
subjects that she will be above that bust
ness.
Nobody is really so superior as to be too
good to marry. Plenty of women are too
good to marry this or that or the other in
dividual man; too many women, perhaps,
In these days. are educated beyond the
point of being satisfied with any man who
is likely to want to marry them, but the
woman who seems too good for human
natures daily food hasn't been overedu-
Gated The trouble with her is that she
doesn't know enough. She is not override
velOped but stunted. Educat ton Is the de-
velopment Of ability, and wife-and even
more, a mother-cant have her abilities
too much developed. Her place is a seat of
power, and all the knowledge that she can
command will find field for its employ
ment.

A Wicked Gamma Bed.

Raridan was at the station to meet Eve
lyn's guests. as he had promised He had
established a claim upon their notice on
The occasion of one OF his visits to Evelyn
at college. and he greeted them with an
air of possession which would have been
intolerabie in another He pressed
Miss Warren for news of the Connecticut
nutmeg crop. and hoped that Miss Marshall
had not lost her accent in crossing the Mis-
souri,. while he begged their baggage checks
and waved their minor impedmenta into
the hands of the station porters.
Wise men, long ago, abandoned the hope
of accounting for college friendships In
either sex, and there was nothing proved
in Evelyn's case by her choice of these
young women as her intimate friends An
ME Warren was reserved and quiet as
Evelyn could be in her soberes1 moments;
Belle Marshall was as frank and friendly
as Evelyn became in her lightest moods
Evelyn had been the beauty of her class;
her two friends were what Is called by
people that wish to be kind, nice looking
Annie Warren had been the best scholar In
her class; Belle Marshall had been among
the poorest and Evelyn had maintained a
happy medium between the two And so
1t fortunately happened that the trio miti-
gated one another's imperfections
Evelyn had summoned her guests at this
tins principally TO have their support
through the carnival. They made light of
the perplexities and difficulties of Evelyn's
own participation when she unfolded them;
there would be lot of fun in it, they
thought. and they deemed 1t. too. a recog-
milton OF Evelyn's fine qualities They were
fresh from college and they could see MOTH

some of the festivals of girls colleges. The

Municipal Tree Planting.
From Park and Cemetery.

Kansas City is setting an excellent ex-
ample in city tree planting. Under the con-
troll of it's city forester the work of planting
shade trees and their care has been re-
duced to a system which is not only result
ing in great success as regards the trees
and their appearance of the thoroughfares,
but is securing the confidence of the prop
erty owners and their sympathy in the pros
ecution of this phase of civic establishment.
In examining the specifications for the
planting and care of trees issued by the de-
partment of forestry of the city we opine
that many will declare that some of the
conditions are too exacting, and that under
a contract system they would not be main
tained moreover, many nurserymen would
claim them to be unnecessary, particularly
in regard to the treatment of the trees after
planting, on which the specifications deal
forcefully. 1t is unQuestionably true, how
ever, that it is in the first years of a trees
life in the city that unremitting responsible
care tells, for upon this, the future of the
tree particularly depends We do not be-
Heve that under the present civic conditions
too much stress can be laid on the import
ance Of attention and care to the newly
planted street shade trees. Under the cir
cumstances every city tree should be a
specimen of it's kind and its best develop
ment depends upon the intelligent minister
ing to its needs which our present knowl-
edge suggests.

THE WONDERFUL sKEE.
Becoming Indispensable to Americans
Of the Northwest.

From Country Life in America.
During the last ten years skeeing has
grown to be almost as much Of a winter
sport in the northern and northwestern
states as tobogganing in Canada. Where
the snowfall, as i'll Oregon, Nevada Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, lies on the ground for
weeks together, to the depth of several feet,
skees virtually become the life preservers Of
the Inhabitants. They furnish the only
means by which the mail carriers can reach
the inaccessible and outlying mountain dis
tricts Of the Rockies. Skees differ radically
from the Canadian or Indian snow shoe
They are about seven feet long, four inches
broad, and taper from an inch thick at the
center to three-quarters.
The western skee runner can cover on an
average about four to eight miles an hour,
going up and down hill. Down hill an ex-
perienced runner can let himself go, but for
beginner it would be like turning on the
clutch valve of an automobile without
knowing where the break was.
Skees were first known to have been used
in the thirteenth century. Eight centuries
passed before the trappers, lumbermen and
wood choppers of America learned the vast
superiority of the skee over the Canadian
snow shoe. In century more the latter
will be looked at in museums as the clumsy
implement of the bygone age
