MRS. CHADWICK. claims on him fur
nished the base of her operations, with
keen curiosity. Mrs. Chadwick regarded
the ironmaster with indifference and de-
voted all of her attention to the selec-
ton of a jury, generally directing the
picking of the jurors as far as it lay in
the power of the defense to do so. AT
the afternoon session of the opening day
she collapsed and court was adjourned
hastily.
The charge on which Mrs. Chadwick
is being tried is conspiracy against the
laws Of the United States. This CON
spiracy, as defined by the government,
rests in the agreement between her and
the officials of the Citizens National
Bank Of Oberlin, Ohio, to issue and
negotiate certified checks when she had
no money in the bank.
The jury which tried Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick found her guilty of conspiring
to defraud the United States government
by procuring the certifcation of checks
in a national bank in which she had no
funds. The reading of the verdict was
followed by dramatic scene in the court
room, which ended in Mrs Chadwick,
wild with Mysteries, being assisted from
the room.
Let me go. Oh my God, let me go,"
she cried as soon as she realized what
the jury had done.
She tottered in weakness and court
officials stepped quickly TO her side.
I'm not guilty." she exclaimed, and
then with all the energy gone from her
voice she moaned again and again: "Oh,
let me go, let me go; I'm not guilty,
tell you; let me go.'
After reaching her cell Mrs. Chadwick
continued to weep and moan without ces-
sation.

Quiet Women.

Your quiet women are the women of
power. The noisy, clustering, AFRO
giant, self-asserting among them make
the air hot with their voices, and trou-
ole the world with their superabun-
dant activities. But this cannot be
called real strength; it is more gen.
orally a sham and a show which
breaks down under the pressure of per-
sonal and private trial; while the true
power of those who, as wives, infu-
ence the present, and, as mothers,
mold the future, lies hidden from the
public, all the more valuable because
of its reserve. The perfume of the
violet steals out from the dense thick
ct where it lies hidden, while the sun
flower turns the glare of its disc full
to the gaze of all passers-hy, scentleSs
and coarse-patent to all, and without
mystery or sweetness for any.

agingly reflected in the weeks results.
These indicate increased deliveries of
commodities, better demand for neces-
stiles and future factory output, and
an enlarging use of bank aceommo-
dation. Money remained in ample sup
ply, but the revived commercial Dor
rowing impaired more firmness to the,
discount rate. The marketing of farm
products was unusually heavy, and
values suffered a slight impairment
The markets for general mcrchan-
disc were well attended by outside
buyers, and transactions exhibited
larger volume than for the previous

confidence in the approaching spring
trade, and many purchases were made

woman. Wars.

In her woman's heart was a poem,
A grand and tender song,
A word of hope for the weary,
A stern rebuke to the wrong;
1t often pleaded for utterance,
For voice TO reach the world,
To be raised where all might heed 1t,
A banner Of love unfurled.
But she never found the moment,
With days so full of care,
To breathe out the burning heart-words
OF her poem nesting there.
There were always household duties,
Dull rounds for every day.
And just before her. step by step,
Some task all unfinished lay.
Her children grew up and blessed her,
And honored her saintei name,
She has guarded their childish footsteps
But had missed the road to fame;
From the many snares and pitfalls
Along their youthful way
Her watchful eye had saved them;
Not one had wandered astray.
The good angel wrote down her life
work
A pure and shining page.
More sweet than dreams of poet,
More grand than seer or sage;
She had met each homely duty.
Striving not for earth's renown,
Her life was poem of beauty,
Her reward in heaven--a crown.

tire at the local club or with boon
companions. This promptly brings
forth an accusation of neglect from
the wife herself, who upbraids her
husband for losing all interest in her
self and the home. ignoring altogether
the fact that she herself is responsible
for the state of affairs.
1t is well, perhaps, when the mas
terfUl woman marries man whose
will is stronger than her own. and who
insists on being master of all things
in his own home. In such a case,
there are far better chances of both
ultimately enjoying great happiness in
their married life. For, as rule, the
strong minded man is not SO unreason-
able as the masterful woman. He is
willing to consider his wifes opinions,
so long as she recognizes his right as
master. But once let a strong minded
man get the idea into his head that his
wife is trying to rule the roost," as
the saying goes, and he will prove as
obstinate as a mule in the thwarting
her wishes.
And yet it is quite possible for every
wife to be practically mistress and

est wife can rule the strongest hus-
band. If she only goes the right way

else an influence over her husband I'M
less she wells her powers. Perhaps
the secret of the woman who rules her
husband is best described in the fol-
lowing lines, written by the immortal
poet Pope:
"She who ne'er answers TIL husband
cools,
Or, if she rules him, never shows she
rules.
Charms by accepting, by submitting
sways,
Yet has her humor most when she
obeys."
The best way for a wife to rule her
husband is to take care, in the first
place, that she never loses his love.
A man likes nothing better than to be
tied about with silken letters. This,
too, is the most dignified and delight
full kind of sway woman can exer-
cise Combine this love with a little
tact and forethought, and a wife can
bend her husband to her own way of
acting and thinking in a surprisingly
easy manner.
1t is the woman who does eVery-
thing in her power to make the wheels
of domestic life run smoothly together,

in life, gossip and gosslping, is a rank

Avoid a ScowI,


A sour countenance is inexcusab.e
in man or woman. An habitual scowl
betokens ill-temper; but suppose 1t
may not be the result of any ill-feel-
ing or badness of heart, it is useless
and worse than useless. Besides, its
effect upon others is unpleasant, not
to say contag ious. 1t Is hurtful to
children; but perhaps its worst effect
is upon the person himself Instead
of drawing people to him in way to
open their hearts and minds, it repels
them. In a word, it IS the opposite
of tactfulness and is bad for either
business or social influence.
In this connection we may quote,
with reference to the reaction upon
! ones self of a cross look, from a
writer in Woman's Home Companion,
which has reference TO a pleasant
voice as well as looks:
LAS a man thinketh IN his heart,
so is he And, conversely. as man
appears to be, so viii he think in his
heart IN other words, if one is happy
and cheerful and kind, he will smile,
he will speak cheeringly, he will do
acts of kindness. On the other hand,
and this is just as important, to smile
and to speak quietly and in a kindly
tone, even if one feels unhappy or
angry or discouraged ut the moment,
so reacts on the mans inner being
that he begins to feel what he has
simulated This is a good thought,
and it points to plain duty. We
should never allow ourselves to ex-
press outwardly by word or by look
any unkind or unhappy thought or
feeling. To do so is only to tend and
foster that feeling, to make it grow
and get final hold on the character
But by affecting the helpful virtues
we will dwarf, and finally pluck out
altogether the evil in our nature, and
we. become in character the good
things we have caused to appear in
our conferences and in our voices"
