A CONVERT ED SENATOR ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Ex-senator Frank G. Cannon. of
Utah, has this to say regarding wo-
man suffrage: "It is idle to discuss
whether suffrage is the right of wo-
man; it was her right as soon as it was
mans right. The only question is, is
it her duty? Has man so discharged
the right to vote as to need no help
from woman? A brilliant man, with
whom I walked down the street said,
the trouble is that when women votes
she descends into the slums.' Who
dragged politics into the slums? Those
who did so should not continue to be
trusted with the exclusive use of the
ballot.
II was not always in favor of wo-
man suffrage. I was once strongly
opposed to it. We had quiet elections
with little friction; we voted the way
the women wanted US to, and I saw
no need Of women having the ballot.
1t took the lesson of New York City
to convince me that men were not
exercising the suffrage sufficiently well
to dispense with the help of women.
All the efforts made by men alone to
put stop to the corruption failed.
At last the women got together, and
then every proud police captain trem-
bled. When I saw how much woman
could do by her indirect influence, it
occurred to me that it would be in
fnitely better if she could use her in
fuence at first hand.
"Women will not degrade politics.
We find in our State that they uplift
politics; and they either uplift the
politician or they destroy him. I have
seen women go to the polls for years,
but I never heard one of them swear,
Or saw her offer a cigar to another
voter, or stop to take a drink. Wo-
men will discharge this duty in the
same high way that they do all their
other duties. The ideal manner of
exercising the suffrage is when man
goes to the polls with his mother or
WIFE"

s.IF YOU LOVE ME, TELL ME
So"

Some one asked the other day why
it is that farmers are usually so chary
of words of love and appreciation to-
wards their wives. Why this should
be so cannot tell, but it is neverthe-
less fact in the ma ajority of farmers
homes. I have no doubt but that
within their hearts they love their
wives just as we'll as other people, but
why not tell them so? Why keep 1t
so closely hidden within the recesses
of our hearts, when it's expression
would brighten the way of another,
and at the same time make our bur-
dens seem lighter?
l recall an incident that occurred
while on visit to friend who was a
farmers wife. She was not strong
and was overtaxed with the many du-
ties of the household. One day she
ran out to the barn where sheaves of
millet were stored. Gathering an
armful of the large, feathery plumes,
she brought them into the house, ar
ranging them prettily over the picture
frames and in the vases on the mantel,
laughing and chatting the while and
feeling brighter for her trip out into
the sunshine. When her husband
came from his work at dinner time she
smilingly called his attention to her
decorations, asking if he did not think
them pretty. Instead of praising her
taste he asked gruff1y if she had moth
ing better to do, saying that the mil
let thus wasted would furnish a meal
for horse. His wife turned away
with tears in her eyes and bitter
feeling in her heart, and for her the
day was robbed of It's sunshine. This
overburdened little woman longed
many times for words of cheer and
sympathy which were never given,
leaving her heart sad and lonely for the
want of them. And the pity of it is
that hers is only among many whose
hearts are hungering for expression of
kindness and sympathy and love.
Some day, when too late, we may
think Of the loving words left unsaid.

A SUSTAINING DIET.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire
had dawned. They are fraugLt with
danger to people whose systems are
poorly sustained; and this leads us to
say, in the interest of the less robust
of our readers, that the full effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to sug-
gest the propriety of calling this medi-
cine something besides blood purifier
and tonic,-say, sustaining diet. It
makes it much easier to bear the heat,
assures refreshing sleep, and will
without any doubt avert much sick.

Her aunt had never seen Elsie look
so proud and defiant. She related
what had passed.

briefly. II will tell him all, and it
will be bad for those who have tried
to SANDER him!''

Elsie had not been gone long before
the maid brought in card inscribed
with the name of John Monckton.
"Ask him in!'' said the widow, when
she had recovered from her surprise
John Monckton entered. He was a
man of medium hei ght, rather too stout
for his number of inches, but upright
and more quick of movement than one
would have anticipated. His face was
concealed by wealth Of mustache
and beard, and a pair Of spectacles

the rather startling reply. II prefer

business sometimes; one has to sink so

Do you think that you could oblige
me?'
Mrs. Bailey sat speechless with
At length she burst forth
vehemently:
"You are rogue, swindler, and I
have a good mind to hand you over to
justice! To think that"
But John Monckton did not wait to
hear the finish; he had appeared un-
easy from the first moment, but the
outburst threw him off his balance en-
tirely. He sprang up and made dash

WONDERS OF A BEEHIVE.

The most diligent of all the scien-
fists who have devoted their lives to
the bee-and this wonderful insect has
been more written about and studied
than any other member of the animal
kingdom, with the single exception of
the egoist, man-have not been able to
fathom the mystery of the production
of the wax, of which the symmetrical
walls are composed, nor to understand
the mental process by which the little
workers are able to perform the mathe-
matical wonder of the cells, every ad-
vantage that could possibly be desired
with regard to the stability of the
structure and the strength of each cell
being procured by its own formation
and its position with reference to the
others.
Reamur, who was particularly inter-
ested in this aspect of the axtraordi-
nary intelligence of the bee, gave a
problem to Koenig, the celebrated Ger
man mathematician: OF all possible
hexagonal cells with pyramidical base
composed Of three equal rhombs, to
find the one whose construction would
need the least material. Koenig cal
culated that the cell that had for its
base three rhombs whose large angle
was 1899 and 26' and the small 100
and 34| met the requirements proposed.
Then at Reamur's request Maraldi,
another eminent savant, who was un-
aware what were Koenig's figures,
measured as exactly as possible the
angle of the rhombs constructed by the
bees and found the larger to be 1000
and 28' and the other 100 and 32'.
Maeterinck says that the error, if
there is one, should be attributed to
Maraldi rather than the bees, since it
is impossible to measure the angles of
the cells with absolute precision.

WHILE STILL THE PROCESS
SION MOVES ON.

And still the procession moves on moves "n;
"Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,'
Hustiing and josting with faces wan;
Dining with laughter to sup with grief:
Each of US smiling to hide his care;
Each of us weeping his part to play;
Bending beneath the burdens we bear;
Journeyers all on the great highway.
And the same little mound in the end in the end,
For sweetheart and lover, for foeman and friend,
And the same waving grasses to whisper and bend
While still the procession moves on.
While still the procession moves on, moves on,
Building our castles, we hope and dream,
And the red robe of pleasure cheerily don,
And dance in our joy like a mote in its beam.
We hurry and joste-more room, more room
Room for the palace that shall build!
Till Voice is heard, and its word is "Doom!''
And the dreams are buried, the hopes are stllled.
And the same little mound in the end, in the end,
For the billiards who break and the sages who mend
And the same spectre Death his pallor to lend,
While still the procession moves on.
While still the procession moves on, moves on,
Gods! how we cling to our pleasure and gold!
Gayest com panions grow weary and wan:
Still to life's tinsel we cease!essy hold.
Here is our palace, the palace of wealth;
This is our castle, the castle Of fame;
Building bv force or building by stealth:
Fighting with shadows, our shadow to claim.
And the same little mound at the last, at the last,
After the dreams and the hurry are past.
And the same weary faces with whiteness o'ercast,
While still the procession moves on.

Troubled Matchmaking.

On the death of her father, Elsie
Roscoe went to live with her aunt and
in due course Mrs. Bailey proceeded
to crafty her desire to exercise her
powers as a matchmaker.
Mrs. Bailey had longed for such an
opportunity; she had no children of
her own. and her brother had been a
man who did not brook interference
with his domestic arrangements. Elsie
appeared to be quite Indifferent on the
subject, helping her father with his
scientific researches, and taking a more
sober view of life than is common with
young women of her age.
Mrs. Bailey's opportunity came with
the change in the condition of things,
and she decided in favor of a gentle
man named Monckton.
John Monckton was about ten wears
older than Elsie, and reputed to be in
very comfortable circumstances. He
lived in Wilsford, but he was connected
with large business in the town, and
went backward and forward every day
to the office. He was very quiet and
reserved, and all that was really known
about bis business was that he bad an
office with clerk or two, bu. did a
large business in British and foreign
goods.
Mrs. Bailey soon contrived that
John Monckton and Elsie should meet
frequently. He was invited to the
villa after three or four meetings, and
finally she succeeded in bringing the
match to pass. John Monckton pro-
posed and was accepted. Not exactly
love match on EIsie's part, but love
would come after marriage. She re-
spected him, and thought great deal
of him, so what more was to be desired?
Mrs. Bailey kept the engagement
secret for the greater part of a week,
and then handed notice to the editor
Of the local weekly just in time to Sc
cure its admission in the issue pub
lished on Saturday. She strictly en-
joined him to secrecy. Thus it came
about that the announcement of the
engagement was made to friends in
Wilsford through the medium of the
local journal.
Elsie had gone to the house of a
friend some miles away, and intended
to return that evening. Mrs. Bailey
read the notice with much gratifica-
tion, and waited with conscious pride
for the numerous congratulations that
were certain to pour in.
1t was about IL o'clock when the
first visitor was announced; this was
the vicar Of the parish, the Rev. A lger-
non Sanders. He looked grave, as if
he had come to offer coincidence in
stead of congratulations.
~ saw in the Wilsford Express this
morning, Mrs. Bailey he began, as
though delivering text, "and I-er-
that is, l suppose it is correct?"
"Certainly!" replied Mrs. Bailey
stiff1y.
She had never got on very well with
the vicar; he would do things in way
that she considered to be quite wrong,
and be was not 80 amenable to reason
ing-Mrs. Bailey's reasoning, that is
as he ought to have been! His man.
