The American Woman.

The American woman is somewhat

Invariably she Is very alert, very articulate.

Those NAV be qualities of eminent value
in the evolution of the social system OF a
Young country. In her natural environment
and under the stimulus OF the American
climate-a climate which makes for the de-
yelopment of nervous energy rather than
for that of sex-she doubtless is, as she
rather loudly claims to be- the very bios

Sewing Machines.

Competition has greatly reduced
the cost of Sewing Machines in the
last few years. 5000 was, at one
time, considered a fair price for a
good Sewing Machine. Today the
same grade of machine can he
bought for just one-half. Still the
old prices hold good in many places,
because you can pay for it on the
installlnent plaza little down and
SO much a week or month until it
is paid for. To pay twice as much
as an article is worth is false econ
omy. Why not put the dollar or so
aside until you have the required
amount and pay cash? 1t saves YOU
just about so per cent.
Our Sewing Machines at $500 and $500
are the equal of the 5000 and $4,000 ma
chimes that you pay for on the instalment
plan. They are thoroughly up to date
steel bearings, hardwood cases (highly pol
ished and prettily ornamented). easy run
ming, simple adjustments and fully guar
anteed.
OF course, we have them as high as $4,000
but that calls for the best machine made
woodwork. which makes them ornamental
as well useful.
Our saleslady will be pleased to show
you the different models and demonstrate
their respective merits.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
young woman decided that she must
do something toward the spiritual and
worldly welfare of her fellow beings. So
she left home and Joined an order of dea-
conesses; and she is now engaged in i'm
pressing her acquaintance, herself and a
section of "the slums" with her heroic self
sacrifice and her lofty ideals.
She left behind her at home:
Item-An old father who has only such
care and attention as servants can give
him.
Item-An old mother who sits lonely and
bored.
Item-A houseful of servants who,
through lack of guidance and direction,
are learning TO be dishonest, shiftless, in
competent worthless.
There are several other items; these are
enough, are they not?
The young woman thinks she Is heroine
and sort of martyr. In fact, she is anus
ing herself, is gratifying a fabby vanity,
and is deliberately Sinking every one of
the real duties of life. And this makes no
account of the result of her slum activities
as a maker of paupers and sycophants.

Photographing Swiss Glaciers.
London Telegraph

IIom the LONDON ItIeErnph.
Photography has recently been employed
in Switzerland to obtain exact pictures of
the glaciers as they now are. In future
times the terminal moraines can be COM
pared with those of the present day. What
ever may be the cause, the fact seems to be
that glaciers all over the world are shrink
ing; they were once certainly far larger in
Switzerland than they are now. The Ice
caps round the poles are also growing less.
AS to the north pole, this pretty well
known some time ago. and now the antarc-
tic explorers report that the ice fields round
the southern pole are also far less than they
were when Ross made his antarctic voyage
sixty years ago. When the reasons for this
decrease of glaciation are known a clue
may be found for the occurrence of the
glacial epoch, eighty or hundred thousand
wears ago.

STREWING OF FLOWERS
DECORATION OF THE GRAVES OF
IRISH PATRIOTS.
Services Held Yesterday Under Aus
pices OF Emerald Club and Irish
American Union.

The graves of thirty patriotic Irishmen
who sleep beneath the green sward and
foliage of picturesque Mount Olivet ceme-
terry, were decorated yesterday afternoon
by the members of the Emerald Club and
the Irish-American Union, with appropriate
and impressive ceremonies. At $3.50 o'clock
the procession formed at the gate of the
cemetery and marched to the several graves
of the Irish patriots On each was placed
a basket of flowers containing a small
United States and Irish flag. The process
sion wound up at the grave Of DR.. Thomas
Devlin Reilly, where two addresses were
made. one by P. T. Moran. district super
fntendent Ancient Order of Hibernfans. and
the other by P. ]. Haltigan, editor of the
National Hibernian. In speaking OF Dr.
Reilly who was a leader in the 1nsurrec-
ton of 1913, Mr.. Moran said:
Reverence for the Dead.
mo people are more noted for their at
tertiou to this doctrine of revering the
dead than the Irish. And especially worthy
of attention is the way they have Kept the
grave of this earnest patriot green. In all
the struggles for independence the motives
of DIR. Reilly were active and sincere. He
was an untarnished patriot Time and time
again the British tried to win him, but
everything they used proved UNSUCCESSFUL.
Brides of money and offers OF h1gh olilces
were alike failures. His name Is, like that
of George Washington, an inspiration TO an
liberty-loving people. Rev. Father boyle
was man of the same class, and his name
also should be inspiration.
The purpose of all loyal irish every
where is laudable in its sincere endeaVor
to promote the old cause, and there is no
doubt that it will bring about the freedom
of Ireland yet.

down one of the stalks across the

the train at distance of several hun.

be an ear o. corn which, according

MULAI ABDUL AZIZ.

Morocco's Ruler and the Franco
German Episode.
The strained relations between Ger
many and France over the Morocco
situation have thrown under the lime
light once more the picturesque hg-
ure Of Mulai Abdul -Aziz, sultan Of Mo-
rocco, whose rule Of his domain pro-
vides none too great safety for the
persons and property Of foreigners.
Many abuses exist in the sultan's
REALM, and commercial intercourse with
European nations is attended by d1tf1-
culties on this account. If some Euro
pean power were to assume protec-
torate over Morocco it would assure
conditions under which trade with 9TH
er countries could be carried on to bet
ter advantage. BIT the action OF the
French government in seeking to estab-
lish a predominance Of French inhu-
ence in that part Of Africa aroused the
jealousy Of Germany, led to war talk
between the two countries and finally
resulted in call for an international
conference to consider the status OF
Morocco and the subject of internal re-
forms in the interest Of commerce.
Abdul Aziz has now been ruler OF
Morocco for eleven years and is twen-
ty-six years Of age. He is considered
a progressive monarch as monarchs so
in Africa-to put it mildly, is eccentric.
He is so fond of bicycles, automobiles,
gold cameras and grand pianos that nc
