IN moral life, and woman, as some
one has said, instead of being what
God intended her to be. "a helpmeet
to man, becomes his plaything or
slave.
Homie is the place that we love best,
because it is the place where mother
is, and there. because of her loving
and fostering care, is the place of
greatest earthly security. Man can
not create the home atmosphere; he
may climb to great heights of fame;
he may win great battles he may
triumph over all competitors, and
thereby amass great riches; he may
master the sciences, acquire facility
in innumerable languages, live or
dead, but man, with ali his power,
genius and native ability, cannot
make home. That remains the task
of woman, and in this, she remains
supreme. Home ought to be the place
where we can find the most refreshing
rest. Home ought to be a place Of

atmosphere as cold as breath from

places of joy, love and brightest sum

of enduring love, the love which out

life which is one long, unbrokep
honeymoon. Home is the molding

right to insist that you live such a life
as will exalt the standard of true

child sweetly religious atmosphere

OUR POLICY TOWARD CANADA.

1t may be recalled, now that the
Alaskan boundary is out of the way,
that there is in existence joint high
commission for preparing CONNER
cial treaty between the United States
and Canada. This commission was
created in 1898, with Sir WilfTid Lau-
rier as it's Canadian chairman and
Senator Fairbanks as its American
chairman. 1t met at Quebec in the
summer of 1899, and again at Wash
ington in November, where it contin.
ued in session until February, 1900.
A reciprocity treaty was considered by
it, but as the commission was unable
to agree upon the boundary question
it was impracticable to proceed with
what then seemed the minor question.
This commission can be recon-
vened at any time, and when the pres
ent irritation in Canada has passed

BERT T.AYLOR'.S LATEST

Bert l.. Taylor, the former Montpe-

East Aurora gentleman which at least
two Vermont newspapers have &C
cepted as the real thing. This is what
Taylor makes the chief Philistine say

One of the papers that failed to see
the joke comments as follows:

who have heard him and have read
his writings He is undoubtedly a
brainy man with many virtues but
some of his admirers have been a

Those, who hail with delight, have
another guess for Hubbard still wears
his hair long, still prints books on
Japanese vellum and in all probability
is still walking in his own peculiar
way in every particular.

STANDING WATCH.*

Watching wake the while my COM
rades sleep;
But thou, o Lord, from Thy bright
throne on high,
Ger land and sea Thy watch and ward
dost keep,
AS the long, weary hours roll slowly
by.
Darkness and clouds begloom the
watery plain;
The moon and stars withhold their
wonted light;
The winds have ceased their sorrowful
refrain,
And silence reigns thro' the dark
realms of Night.
But in that brighter world where
Thou dost dwell,
Nor Night, nor Darkness is, but
Light supreme;
Silence is not; the full-volced angels
swell
Their ceaseless songs, and Jesus is
the theme
Jesus! Thou Light of every weary
breast,
Shine in my soul; from darkness
set me free;
Guard those who sleep, and give
them peaceful rest,
And bless the lonely watcher on
the sea.

THE STATE CAMP GROUND.

The announcement OH Wednesday
that the buildings of the State, To-
Gated on the camp ground of the Yer
mont National Guard near Fort Ethan
Allen, had been broken into aud pill
LACED since the annual muster is
likely to again raise the question of
whether Or not it is wise TO retain
this location as permanent State
camp ground. According to the story,
every cook shack, as the individual
company buildings are termed, has
been broken into and more or less
damaged and the lavatory and gen.
eral storehouse have not escaped the
assaults OF the marauders, And this
is not the first time that these often ces
have been committed either, for not
year has passed since the buildings
were erected but it has been necessary
TO repair some damage due to unknown
hoodlums and thieves
Without attempting to fix the blame
for these outrages on anyone in parri
cular, is it not high time to suggest
that grave mistake was made wheI
the muster ground was permanently
located at its present place. 1t viii
be remembered by those interested
that the idea was by no means unani
mously favored at the time, but tin
balance of power was in favor of thu
project and it went. One argumen

ALIENS.

Some must take and Others pay,
Some until the Judgment Day
Solitary, waiting stay
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Men there are who never sip
Warm red wine of fellowship,
Fearing let the cup pass by
While another drains IL dry,
Gayly uses, gayly breaks
What his brothers. heart blood makes
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Men there are with songs unsung,
Strains that ne'er escape the tongue
Broken aims and dreams that lie
Hidden from the careless eye;
Secret, passionate, deep enshrined,
Undeveloped, thwarted, blind
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Shall such some day rise and take
Need denied by Earth's mistake?
No more waiting, spurned of Fate
Shall they come, though it be late,
And by strange paths to their own;
No more despised failures known
On some other kindlier shore,
Aliens never more?

THE IDEAL HOME.

The foundation of modern civiliza.
ton and the very cement of moral
society are the family and the home.
In savage life the spirit of individual
ism predomiates; there is no instinct
of solidarity, but as man becomes
civilized he realizes more and more
the value of cooperation, and the
more truly civilized he becomes the
more coherent become the family and
the home. Sever man or nation
from the ideal of singleness of mat
rimonial alliance. the family and the
home, and at once there is debasement

A NOBLE WOMAN GONE.

1t was sad news that came out OF
the west on Thursday morning when
the wires flashed the intelligence that
Mrs Emma Moss Booth Tucker,
consul of the Salvation Army in
America, had been killed in rail
road wreck in Missouri. Death vir-
tually came to this soldier on the field
of battle. She had been on visit to
the army's colony Mt Amity, Colorado
had inspected large workingmen S
hotel which the army has just erected
at Kansas City and was returning to
Chicago to join her husband, Com
mander Booth Tucker. Mrs Booth.
Tucker was Miss Emma Booth, second
daughter of Gen. william Booth and
counted the ablest of that remarkable
family of children. She was born to
the Salvation Army's work and took
up the cause with an earnest enthusi-
asm that soon made her power at
Headquarters General Booth, al

the great work of his army more
effective, saw in her the one best
fitted to make peace in the American
branch of che organization in the
trying times following the removal
from command Of her brother, Bal
lington Booth.
She came from England to America
in 1896 and with her husband, Fred
erick Booth-Tucker, assumed joint
jurisdiction over the army here, she
bearing the title of consul ard he
that of commander. Her cool iudg
ment and executive ability combined
with the splendid leadership of her
husband soon brought order out of
what might have been chaos, and
though she tried in vain to reconcile
father and son and failed, she did the
work that she was sent to do and
did it nobly.
Mrs. Booth Tucker was at home in
all departments of the work. Since
coming to America she has been
especially active in the work among
convicts, the colonization project of
the army and the establishment of
training homes. Nevertheless, she
was entirely at home when sitting at
the executive desk at headquarters i'll
New York or when telling the story
Of this great army of the cross to a
most critical audience.
She was forty three years of age
and thus cut down in the very prime
Of life, and on what seemed to be the
very threshold of vastly greater SER
vice and usefu mess, the Salvation
Army, and in consequence the world,
has lost one of its noblest women.
The venerable General Booth from
his headquarters in London, has sent
to his followers throughout the world
the sad tidings of his daughter
death, and sympathetic world will
bow in sorrow with the aged man
when he says:

grief in the presence of what appears

extend the shops the whole length
