The Boy That Was Grated,

Philip saw the empty wood-box, but
he did not want to fill it. When he
went to get drink of water the water
pail was empty, too; but he said never
mind, he guessed he was not so very
thirsty. 1t was bother filling water
pals. And when grandmother took
down her empty cinnamon can, she
distinctly said, 20 dear mer' but Phil
ip did not want to hear her. 1t was
half mile to the -Four Corners store.
Philip was crOss-"sOur," grand
mother called it, with a little sigh.
I'm afraid our Philip is getting to be
a sour boy, Amasa," she said. Amasa
was grandfather, and to tell the truth,
grandfather was afraid so, too.
"Well, can't help it! l didn't want
to stay to this house and have the
whoopin' cough, did 1? 1 wanted to
go out West with my father" Philip
argued, as if that made it all right to
be sour boy.
Grandfather was grating the natur-
al fruit trees over in the east orchard,
and Philip went over TO watch him.
"What do you do it for, grandpa p"
he asked.
"To make them over into good, sweet
trees. They are sour and grabbed ones
now, and don't do anybody any good.
Might as we'll not he here at all, TAX
ing up useful room. But I'm going
to saw off this sour chaps arms and
graft on some new and useful ones.
And first thing you know We'll have
good, sweet tree here!'
Philip was thinking about it when
he went up into the haymow to eat
good, sweet apples. He took a little
puckery sour one along to try. Ugh!
1t was not good a bit! He made a
WY face. Then by and by something
strange and-and awful happened. AS
Philip lay there in the sweet, dim
place, just beginning on his fourth
apple, he saw a man, a little like
grandfather,-but it was not,-coming
| toward him over the hay. He had
sharp things just like grandfathers in
his hand, and he was talking to him
self. Philip heard every word he said,
and it set him thinking.
''He must be made over into a good,
sweet boy" the man said. nodding his
head. Hes a sour little boy now,
and doesn't do anybody any good.
Might as well not be here at all. But
I'm going to saw off his arms and
graft on some nice new ones that will
| fill wood boxes and water pals with
out being asked. And some new legs
to run errands. First thing you know
we'll have a good, sweet boy here!"
He was coming very near indeed
now. The sharp things looked very
sharp-a little ray Of sunlight set them
to glittering in his hands. Philip set
his little white teeth hard and held out
his arm. If it must be done-but In
! spite of himself he could not keen
/ back a little terrified cry.
! The next thing he knew the little

What Woman owes to Man.

Mrs. Craigie, known to the literary
world as John Oliver Hobbies, may
make herself disliked by the advanced
women if she is not careful about her
nublic utterances. At a recent dinner
rivpn by the Lord Mayor of London
IN the Society of Journalists she re-
nlied to the toast of 'The Ladies'" In
the course Of her reply she said many
charming things about the accomplish
ments and the achievements of Wom-
AMI and then dutled the edge OF her
praise by declaring that woman owes
all she knows of the arts, and nearly
everything else, outside of domesticity,
to men, citing Angelica Kaufman,
George Sand, George Eliot, Charlotte
Bronte and others as examples. She
even went so far as to assert that
women would not go into the intellec-
tual professions and public life but
for the support and praise Of men.
Warming up with her subject Mrs.
Craigie asserted that "the reign of
great queens have also been the epoch
of great statesmen. The famous la
dies Of great historical crises owe their
celebrity to the classic descriptions
written Of them by men. Great ac-'
tresses, great players on musical in
struments, great singers, great scholars
and great writer's were all, without ex-
ception, first trained and taught by
men," And then, worst Of all, in her
peroration she said as to woman's po-
sition in the world: "We do not under
stand half of it or nearly half Of it.
We think of other things. But we do
as a rule as we are told, and when we
are commended for doing it pretty well
we are just as happy as though we
were masters Of the situation. We
know we are not, which Is clever of us,
and we do not wish to be, which is
cleverer still"
1t would take a bold man to utter
such sentiments as these, and he
would be hauled over the Goals more
effectively than was Bartle Massey by
Mrs. Poyser. Fortunately, it was not
a man in this case. 1t remains to be
seen how the emancipated women, the
advanced women, the club women, and
martial spinsters, will accept this fem
mime definition of the feminine rela-
ton toward the masculine tyrant OF
course, there are women who will
agree with Mrs. Craigie, but they are
the women in humble life, the old-fash-
Toned women, the domestic women, the
time spirited women, who usually do
as they are told and are glad to have
some one tell them what to do. They
are the vines clinging to the oaks. But
on the other hand, there are many
who are not clingers and who are rev.
cling in the joys of freedom, the pleas
ures Of the clubrooms, and have door
key Of their own. They are not the
kind that rest patiently under the ac-
cusation Of doing as men tell them

Some Factp About widowa.

The State Of New York has 100000
widows and the city 100000. There
were by the last federal census 2,72O,'
1000 widows in the whole United
States, of whom, it is worthy to re-
mark. $4,000 were in Indiana and only
5000 in Utah.
There were 12s,O00 in Massachu,
sets. less than the total number in the
two States of Alabama and Mississip,
nj. though the view pretty generally
prevails that the number Of widows is
disproportionately large throughout
New England.
There are nearly 1000 in Hawaii and
/ 100 in Alaska, a proportionately larg'
er number than in the city Of Chicago.

the custom for the teachers to provide
such a treat. Miss Sinclair promised
TO observe the custom, but declined to
explain what the treat was to be.
When she refused to satisfy the curios-
lty of the pupils the larger girls, rang
ing from IA to 16 years of age, over
powered her, tied her feet to trough
and carried her to pond in a neigh
boring field. There the boys cut a
hole in the ice and the girls put the
teacher in the hole. The water came
only to her waist and the plucky teach
er refused to yield. Then they carried
her farther out on the ice, cut another
mole and again plunged her into the
lce-cod water. This time the water
came to her neck. There they left her.
The trough tied to her feet prevented
her getting out, but finally when she
mad almost persisted her screams
brought aid. She afterward suffered
greatly from pneumonia and shock.

The Secret.

The more conVeniences we have

contact with others, the better our sur

Such conditions do not come without
effort, nor do they come to the indiffer-
ent and weak hearted. To get along,
to make a success of the place in which
one Is situated, Is to be thoughtful,
tactful and unselfsh. Why does some
