What ON earth is the matter nowP
just another terrible row,
About what, I'd like to know
A little piece of gossip sweet,
Hurrying swift on many feet,
Fast as ever Ii cal go.
Somebody said" that somebody said'
(Somebody really ought to be dead)
That somebody else said so,
Just as true as true can be,
Never a lie but was true you see)
So hurry 1t on with puf and a blow
Tell It far and tell it wide,
Ger every inch Of country side,
Lest somebody may not hear.
For we'll you know 'twould be a shame,
You Yourself would be to blame,
Were it known not far and near.
To add little TO the strife,
70 ruin someone's joy and life,
Is such a bliss untold,
A little word said here and there,
A careless gesture made with care,
And then the end behold.
Thus it passes swiftly by,
BY shakeof head and wink Of eye
The mischief keeps ON growing,
A little thing you scarce can see
In the beginning 1t might be,
So small scarce worth the sowing.
But now, behold 1t towering high,
A sight to stop the passers by,
And still It keeps increasing,
There Is no end to such plant,
In wayside chat or Sunday chant,
It grows and thrives unoeasing.
II murders all the moral good,
It takes It's choice Of mental food,
And fine Is its condition.
II spreads and spreads ill all the earth
Is robbed OF power for joy and mirth,
But at last, blooms only 10 perditlon

The Lesson Drawn From the Life of
Emma Booth Tucker

The tragic death of this leader in
one Of the great religious movements
of the time, recalls circumstances in
her life from which a profound civic
lesson may be drawn.
Her charms of wifehood and moth
erhood are the cherished remem-
brances of her immediate friends.
Her devotion to the Salvation Army
is the pardonable pride Of her associ-
ates in that organization.
Everyone should have a direct and
deep personal interest in the fact that
Mrs. Booth-Tucker's devotion TO an
exacting public service did not inter-
fere with the fuifillment of her duties
as a wife nor the performance of her
obligations as mother. On the
contrary, she was doubtless all the
better and stronger as wife and
mother for being also a tireless leader
among right-minded men and women.
There is superstition that the
good wife will have no inclination to
participate in public affairs, and that
the good mother will have no time
for it. So wives and mothers among
the poor let their brains run fallow
while they bend over washtubs, and
wives and mothers among the rich
allow theirs to run fallow while they
minister to family pride at social
functions. With unconscious irony
all this is called making the home "
Women must not vote. That
Onerous burden would break in upon
the marital and maternal duties Of
the washtub and the afternoon tea
aud so destroy the homel They must
not hold public Office, no matter how
crying the need 10 our public service
for feminine thought and feminine
action. For with women in politics
our children would be neglected, and
our husbands would go unkept and
unloved, while the home would dis
appear from our civilization
Against this barbaric superstition
Mrs. Booth-Tucker's busy and usefu
life was a daily protest.
True, she took no part in civi,
affairs! Her case cannot be cited
therefore, as a precedent for woman
in politics, identical at every angie.
But no possible public service in civil
4 affairs could be more exacting in ii
demands upon a woman's time anC
onergy, or more disturbing to wifely
and motheriy duties, than the publil
religious work which Mrs. Booth
Tucker did perform so long and s,
! successfully. Yet she leaves sever
children, who have never lacked thei
mothers love and care.
Without detracting in the leas
from the particular public service {,
which Mrs BOoth-Tucker's life wa
devoted, may not that life be fairi,
cited as a shining instance Of tn
perfect compatibility, with women NJ
less than with men, Of private anC
public service. May we not point 4
her career as another notable demon
stration Of the intimate Relationship
Of wifely and motherly functions o
citizenship, Of the perfect eompati
bility of home-making with commu

" omen anu EaAMuEN MAEn
There were large doings at Union
Station, Pittshurg, few days ago.
A rough house was caused by a
monstrous eel getting loose and
wriggling amongst the legs Of by
ISLANDERS. The fsh was one of lot
of one hundred which were being
shipped to the Bellefonte hatchery Of
the State Fish Commission, where
they will be kept during the winter
and then sent to st. Louis for exhibi-
tion at the Worlds Fair.
When the eel broke Jail, fish at
tendants, baggagemen, brakemen,
and other attaches Of the station all
made grabs for him. Wriggling like
an Oriental dancer he went through
their hands like the proverbial greas-
ed eel.
Terror was added to the excitement
by some one raising a cry that he
would bite. Women grabbed their
skirts and screamed, and men looked
foolish. It was a hot chase. The
attaches ducked in and out, losing
their hats and temper in the scrim-
mage. Sometimes their hands would
close over the eel but for not long, a
few wriggles and the elusive eel
would be gliding over the smooth
floor. Finally the attaches, putting
and blowing, and persplring freely,
coralled the eel and he was returned
to his can. Quiet was restored and
peace reigued again.
Pennsylvania's fish exhibit at the
Worlds Fair will be the largest ever
made at an exposition and will in
clude the eel that started this tale.

Progress in the reform Of second

interference with legitimate news
papers and periodicals in the rights
