OFT through the dark my little one
Comes stealing softly to my bed.
To Chamber in and cuddle down
And on my bosom lay his head:
I hear him whisper coaxingly:
"Please let me sleep with you to-night;"
And as he nestles close to me
His childish fears are put to flight.
All, If he knew how weak, how frail
Am in whom he pu.s his trust.
How blindly and how oft fall.
How oft my face is in the dust,
He would not rush to me when fear
Comes with her sable wings outspread;
Would cease to bring him to my bed.
Some day perchance they'll bring him
where
long have slept, from visions free;
And. weeping, they may leave him there
To lie serenely close to me.
Oh, may hear him, trusting, say,
AS he is reaching upward then:
"Please, father, have come to lay
MY head upon your breast again"

VIM. A. RUSSELL, EDITOR.
A MODERN NEWSPAPER.

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst the sensational New York
preacher has plan for running an ideal newspaper
which he wants to put in practice He says ne
would avoid sensatonallsm, educate the readers and
cut out the things that tend to degrade. He says
his paper 'would represent the conscience Of the
American people, and fearless Y express it.
Rev. Chas NJ Sheldon of Topeka, Kansas, was
not suited with the modern newspaper. So, for a
week. he edited paper that was dull, lnslpld,
tiresome and failure. 1t didn't represent any
thing except the ideas Of Sheldon.
There are hundreds of newspapers in this country
that are irving to do Just what Parkhurst pleads for
and making fine progress, too. They print tho
news: they do things; they educate; they fight for
the good and true; they strive for better living;
thew point moral at every opportunity; they re-
fleet the will of the public, and d. represent the
conscience Of the American people
SensatlonaIsm The men who howl most about
it couldn't tell you what they mean by the word.
The unexpected is sensational. The crucifction
was sensational. There isn't big happening re-
lated in the Bible that was not sensational The
word means no more than 'grand' or 'astonsh-
ing" vet it is hurled at American newspapers to-
dav much as you would cry "Iepor" at an uncleal
human being.
The representative American paper Is IN the
newspaper field an intensified edition Of DIR. Park
hurst in the pulpit. Both are sensational, If yot
WILL because they out of the rut, striving Tor
better order Of things and keeping humanity stirred
up to the necessity of progress.
The Parkhurst newspaper is here, 1t has beel
here for years, and it is growing in power and in
fluence and keeping step with the advance Of hu
manity.

THE KING RUSINESS.

1t is stated in England that Edward VII owes his
popularity to the fact that he ''lied like gentle
man" in divorce suit. That nothing
There have been many sovereigns who have lied
like gentlemen not only in divorce matters but on
all possible occasions Talleyrand, who had great
deal to do with kings, came to the conclusion that
language itself was invented for the purpose of con-
cealng thought.
1t is also stated that Francis joseph of Austria
lives in the public esteem largely because he gave
his son and his nephew Il Gaming for some dsreputa-
BILE acts.
In another column of this paper is published Il
suggestions, by an eastern paper, of an appropriate
inscription for a statute of Frederick the Great
which Emperor William of Germany proposes to
present to the United States.
Frederick the Great was bad enough hut he
wasn't a circumstance to his father. Macaulay
saws the populacc fled before that old brute as if he
were a tiger let loose from nsnagere. If he met
n woman in the street he gave her kick and told
her to ''go home aud tend her brats"
But the times have changed. A little lying and
little Gaming go further nowadays. Seriously, is it
not strange that intelligent people should see in
scandal or a burst of anger the qualities which
''round the mortal temples Of king?"
1t goes far toward explaining to Americans why
the Belgans endure the nauseous Leopold. This is
the explanation;

rHE INCREASE OF SUICIDE.

On Sunday the Sth inst. nine persons, five women
and four men, committed suicide in Chicago.
Nearly every one of these went to self-destructon
because of hard financial conditions. They were
weary of the strenuous life, the women helpless IN
ifo's struggle the men pronounced failures in busi-
ness.
Startling is it not?
But that is only an incident in the alarming in
crease of self-murder. According to the Chicago
Tribune, said to be an authority on suicide statis-
tics. the number of suicides during the first two
months of 1903 was double that of the first two
months OF last year What is the cause?
Some will say it is because of the Iessenng OF re-
Iiglous obligations or the Ioosenng of moral re-
straints. Others that it is the nervous pace of
modern living Others that there is something
wrong in the economy of our life, that wealth IS
inequitably distributed
Perhaps all these are to blame. Especially it is
plain that business conditions grind men to pieces
beneath the upper and neither millstones. Be-
tween the competitive system, which still largely
controls economic questions, and the trusts, which
are beginning to control, flesh and blood is some
times unable to bear the strain.
And the pity of it
Preach against suicide. Moralize about it.
Sheer at human weakness, if you like. Denounce
it as cowardly Inveigh against it as sinful and
silly. Even Iegslatc against 1t. After all
These are the grim facts. Suicides increasing

The people have been hypnotized. Some day

Mrs. Lanatrx AZ opera House.


Mrs. Langtry, who appears at the
Opera House next Monday night in
'fMademoiselle Mars, presented the
play for the first time in This country
at the Chestnut Street Opera House,
Philadelphia, last night. The play,
which deals with the life OF French
comedienne named in the title. was
written for Mrs. Langtry by Paul Kes-
ter, and was successfully produced at
the Imperial Theatre. in London. OF it
critic says;
Mrs. Langtrys performance met with
the approval of the audience. Her en-
actmmt of the role showed careful
study of the life history Of the main
character. Although Napoleon is one
of the principal characters in The play
the actress is the dominating figure in
the drama. But Mrs Iangtry was care
ful to avoid anything of an intrusive
nature. Scenically the play is said to DO
historically correct Much attention
has been given to detail, and altogether
"Mademoiselle Mars" may be said to
be a dramatic and historic success.

but got large stacks Of copy paper for

Blue serge, that most faithful OF ma

high prices are asked. There is blue serge

wide range Of choice in the different

different styles.The rough welt, or cord,
is very smart but looks almost too heavy
for summer wear. However, 1T is being
made up into yachting costumes and into
the short walking gowns that are so
fashionable for the moment.
The closer weaves with chevlot or
camelshsir finish are made into the more
elaborate costumes, with strappngs Of
cloth bands of taffeta or moire ribbon or
with quite elaborate braiding. Short and
most fanciful Jackets or blouses and Nor
folk Jackets are the favorlte styles for
this sort Of gown, the long tailor coat on
the more severe order being thought quite
inappropriate and yet there are some few
blue serge gowns of this sort OF serge
