by the language Of the flowers, I read
the characters Of wives by the conduct
OF their husbands.
Inevitably when you find a cOnse-
Grated, earnest man working for
Christ in the church you will find
noble, devoted wife back Of that man,
who is chiefly responsible for that
mans conservation. OF course there
are exceptions to all rules, but excep-
tions do not destroy the rules. So in
variable has been my experience in
this respect that when l find a man
joining the church whose wife thinks
more of card parties and dances and
club meetings and dinners than she
does of her prayer meetings have but
little hope of that man being an active
or spiritual church member. l have
known many women to stay in the
church as faithful, loyal workers in
spite Of goddess husbands. but l have
in only two or three instances known
a husband to be true to his church
vows if he has an Indifferent or a god
less wife. My brother | believe, that .
next to our mothers the human beings |
who have had the most to do with our
religious conduct have been our godly, /
cOnsecrated, Christian wives.
Our wives have broken their alabas-
ter box Of ointment Of spikenard very
precious upon our family affairs and
made us what we are spiritually. But
have they not done more than that?
Oh, yes They have literally sacrificed
their all for us and submerged their
lives in our life When Benjamin Dis
raeli retired from the ministerial
bench Queen Victoria wished to ele-
vate her favorite prime minister to the
peerage. He declined at that time the
honor for himself, but he practically
said this: Your majesty, the honor
YOU would confer upon me would graf
fly me more if conferred on my wife, ,
Tor all that l have been able to accom- /
llish in English craftsmanship is due /
o her devotion and self sacrifice" So !
,or the time he remained plain Mr.. {
)israeli, While his wife became Count ]
,ss of Beaconsfield. Not until some (
ears late~ did he accept the honor {
Urged upon him and take the title Of
Carl of Beaconsaeld. Z
When the aged banker, Rothschild, E
ounder OF ,le banking house which b

allied his boys to him and said, ''Nev- d

This lively account Of a social func-
tion at Pawpaw, Mo-, comes from a
local paper: .'The ladies Of the Meth
Odist Episcopal church had fine time
at Mrs. Sinks house, which was a nice
thing in every way. 1t was an ice
cream sociable to buy the pastor an
0vercoat, so that he may plJd along
this winter without freezing his weary
bones. The ladies served the cream,
but Deacon Daley was in charge. BE

ter Many young fellows brought
their girls, and one did even worse
than that by fetching a complete jag
to the festival His name shall not
be mentioned, as he spent 80 cents for
ice cream, eating it all fervently, and
we bet it didn't go well with that
booze. But what matter? Seven dol
lars and ninety cents was realized
from the affray, enough to buy Preach

The Tired wife.

And here let me state something
which has been on my mind for a long
time. l have been noticing how tired
your wife looks of late. Aye, she is
beginning to get that tired look your
mother had during her last few years.
You have often said to your brothers
and sisters since your mothers death,
"Oh, if father had only made her hold
up a little she would have been with
us nOww Yes, perhaps she would.
Your mother was one of those willing
horses" who work themselves to death.
Your wife is the same kind Of a wo-
man. Her alabaster box of ointment
of spikenard very precious which she is
now pouring upon you is her life's
blood. You had better make her hold
up or your children may soon be saying
about their mothers premature death
what you said about your mothers
Yes, we have all had good mothers.
We have all had good wives.
But as our minds wander back into
the dim past there is another sweet
face which arises above the horizon Of /.
the wife think this third face belongs Il
to young girl who has had the most |
influence in our mental and moral and /
spiritual development. l allude to that /
sweet sister who grew up by your side.
She was a good girl. You cannot
speak of her now without your lips
trembling and your eye being moisten-
ed with tears. Oh you say, IF we
We're not so far apart how l would love
to 90 and have one of the old chats we
used to haver'
Truly, she did for you what she
could. She naturally did more for you
than any Of the other children, because
You grew up together You played
your games together, you trudged to
school together. She was a little older
than you and was always looking after
you. When you got into trouble you
always went first to her. Cannot you
hear her gentle voice saying: Now,
brother, you must not do that. Mother
would not like you to do it." Though
he older sister when she corrected
rou would always make you angry,
he would always make you feel will {
ng to do what you ought to do. Yes, /
res, that dear sister has sacrificed q
sreat deal for you. When you were
title she used to give you her pennies.
like the poor widow, she gave you her
Dite. 1t was not much intrinsically,
lut it was her all. When she grew a t
title older she still continued your
riend. She gave to you her whole @
eart. Aye, it was a sad day for you a
vhen she married. Cannot you write t
o her now and bridge over that awful c
hasm Of separation? 0
But are the mothers, the wives, the t
listers, the only female faces we can b
lention today like this woman of my b
ext? No The list would not be COM b
lete unless we spoke a few words at Il
EAST in reference to the children who Il

New National Theater.

William H. Crane will appear at the New
National Theater tomorrow night in the
new comedy, THE American Lord" The
authors of this play are Charles T. Darcy
and George H. Broadhurst. 1t is their first
joint effort, and there Is reason to expect
that their work in collaboration will be
well worth Mr. Cranes while. The idea
upon which the comedy is built is the max
ing of lord of thorough-going American,
who has rallied at royalty, together with
European snobbishness, all his life. John
Breuster comes of old English stock. A
younger son settled in Virginia In colo
NAL times, and John, the last of the family
moved to Dakota and became thoroughly
impregnated with the spirit OF the west. At
time when he is about to be nominated for
Congress he is notified that he is an English
lord and that enormous estates are awaiting
him in England. He decides to go to Eng
land and manage the estate. The compli-
cations that follow are said to be highly
amusing. He finds his daughter madly in
love with the elder son of nobleman and
discovers that his son Is making eyes at a
pretty young English girl. He becomes tied
up In an old family feud that began no one
knows when. and finds that he has a hope
less admiration for the buxom charms of a
young Irish widow. In Strengthening out
all of this the dramatists have preserved
the comedy vein, have given Mr. Crane a
good. consistent and humorous character,
and one which places him at his best in
bidding for laughter.
The play opens in Dakota, and the acts
which follow are laid in Sussex. England.
Among the characters are two citizens typl-
cal or the west who are warm friends of
Breuster. In the cast will be Miss Hilda
Spong. Miss Rosalind Coghlan. Miss Nellie
