cannot think of adjectives enough in praise. one
is altogether beautiful woman. The expression
of her face was that of girlish pride and happl-
ness She bowed and smiled at the people sne
knew and talked with those near her. as IT uncon-
scious that she herself the centre of obserVa-
ton. If she had lost wink of sleep on account
of the great occasion it was not evident.
Roosevelt was hard behind the herald and shak-
ing hands with friend, when the announcement
was shouted, "The President, the Presldent-elect
Of the United States" The occupants of the foor
and galleries rose as Theodore Roosevelt came
down the aisle, unescorted broad shonldered, mas
sive, dignified erect, looking every inch the man
that he is He stood before his seat, thanked on
either side by the committee of arrangements
and he stood as if strength had the form of a man.
When the people seated he looked up at his
wife and children, and flush stung his cheek
when his wife smiled proudly down upon him.
That moment was worth it all.-John Charles Nc

Red Hot Pointers from DIR. Kilgo.

Durham dispatch, 9th: DR.. Jno. G. Kilgo
preached at Main Street Methodist Church last
night sermon which has excited a great deal of
comment. The speaker compared the church as
the bride of Christ and said that the way the
society going folk did in serving the devil and the
world for three hundred and twenty days in the
year and then stop forty days before Easter and
say they would serve God for forty days and
give up some pet society idea was hypocrisy and
blasphemy in the sight of God. He touched on
the social equality question and said that some
people hold up their hands in holy horror-some
society leaders-and yet their children hardly
know their mother. The little ones he said are
allowed to remain in the arms of negro woman,
allowed to breathe and live in her society, while
the mother is dressing and running around not
giving any time to the children, because they are
too much trouble. He said that in these latter
days many considered it disgrace and shame
to do the duties of a mother and home keeper.
He thanked God that his mother was not society
woman and that the mother of his children was
not society woman.

Frances E. Willard in Statuary Hall.

A special feature of February 18th at Washing
ton, d. c., the acceptance of the statue OF
Frances E. Willard, the beloved temperance adj
vocate. 1t was placed in Statuary Hall in the
National Capitol by the State of Illinois. 1t is
the first statue of a woman that has ever been
placed in this hall, and it accepted the
statue of one of the most eminent women of the
United States. Mr.. Cullom, of Illinois, and per-
sonal friend of Miss Willard, spoke of her entire
life having been devoted to temperance, in bring
ing sobriety to the homes of thousands, and con-
graduated his State being the first to place
the statue of woman in this hall of fame. She
is represented standing, as if delivering an ad-
dress. The inscription "Miss Willard" is on the
tablet, and beneath that her inspiring words ::
"Ahi 1t is women who have given the costliest
hostages to fortune. Out into the battle of life
they had sent their best beloved with fearful odds
against them. Oh! by the dangers they have
dared, by the hours of patient watching over beds
where helpless children lay, by the incense of
10000 prayers waited from their gentle lips to
heaven, charge you give them the power to pro-
tect along life's treacherous highways those they
have so loved"
During the past week in Chicago, on the West
Side, was dedicated the Frances E. Willard Ma
tional Temperance Hospital. 1t is memorial of
her great temperance work, a fve-story stone
building on South Lincoln Street. All employed
here are women. Any doctor may take his patti
ents there provided no liquor is prescribed or
used.-Waaces Farmer

THE HOME CIRCLE
Lenore.* y

All, broken is the golden BOWL the spirit flown
foreveri
Let the bell TOLL sanity soul floats the
Stygian river;
And, Guy De Vere hast thou no tear r?-weep now
never morel
See on yon drear and rigid bier low lies thy love,
Lenorel
Come! let the burial rite be read-the funeral
song be sungl-
An anthem for the queenliest dead that ever died
young.
"Wretches! We loved her for her wealth and hated
her for her pride,
And when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her
that she died.
How shall the ritual, then, be read?-the requiem
how be sung?
By you-by yours, the evil eye-by yours, the
slanderous tongue
That did to death the innocence that died and
died so young|
Peccavimus but rave not thus and let Sabbath
Go up to God so solemnly the dead may feel no
wrong!
The sweet Lenore hath ''gone before" with Hope,
that flew beside,
Leaving thee wild for the dear child that should
have been thy bride
For her, the fair and debonair, that now so lowly
lies,
The life upon her yellow hair but not within her
The life still there upon her hair-the death upon
her eyes.
"Avauntl tonight my heart is light. No dirge
will I upraise
But watt the angel on her flight with paean of
old days!
Let no bell toll lest her sweet soul amid it's hal
lowed mirth,
Should catch the note as it doth float up from
the damned Earth.
To friends above. from fends below, the indignant
ghost is riven-
From Ha1l ,1n+o bigb estate far 11r, within the
Heaven
From grief and groan to golden throne beside
the King of Heaven"

Busted Romance.

Stranger (to driver)- -"Anything remarkable
about this mountain?"
Driver-"There's nothing peculiar about the
hill itself, but there's queer story connected
with it."
Stranger-"What is that?'
Driver-"A young lady and gentleman went for
a walk that hill. They ascended higher and
higher, and never came back again"
Stranger-"Dear, dear me! How unfortunate
What, then, became of the unhappy pair?'
Driver-''Why, sir, they went down on the other
side."-Melbourne Leader.

Young Men Should Not Shun Politics.

We shall have reason to hail it as a whole
some sign of the times when American youth
cease to be Indifferent to politics. A country in
which any man, however obscure his origin, may,
through determination to overcome obstacles, and
fine strength of character, arrive at the highest
distinctions in the gift of the Republic, ought
to stimulate young men to splendid endeavor and
rich achievement One regrets to observe
aversion on the part of many men to study polit-
cal economy, and a singular lack of responsibility
IN welding that power of the unit, which is so
tremendous force in national lfe.--LadeS

Mr. McNeill Gives Glimpse of Its Personal Side.
The waiting was from ten till after twelve but
it would not have been tiresome had it been twice
as long. Everybody was watching the "President's
gallery" Mr.. Fairbanks people had already come
in. His wife, stout little woman was clad in
brown and white. On the front seat with her
sat her two sons Frederick and W. c.. and the
latter's little wife. They are both good looking
men, but like their father, scant of hair. They
chatted among themselves, quite at ease A little
after there was a stir about the entrance to the
Presidents gallery All the thousands of eyes
riveted there, when the doors swung open.

The family occupied the whole of the front
seat. Miss Alice set her elbows on the rail and
went to studying the myriad faces turned toward
her. Laying all jokes aside she is as pretty as a
peach. Theodore, Jr., who sat next to his mother,
looked like any rai-splitter or broncho-buster,
