into the calculations of happy lovers.
On the sidewalk, On the cars, in the
carriages that bowl for an afternoon
drive in the park-everywhere you look
you see a man and maid, forever spin
ming the web Of love- Life looks all
bliss to them. They ask only to be
allowed to gather its roses together.
Of thorns they reck not at all.
And if they -knew9 Would it make
any difference? If some one drew aside
the veil and said to them: :tLook:
This is what marriage means. Double
JOY, indeed, but double sorrow. Ger
tain pain and woe. Perhaps poverty.
Sickness and death. MaYhap a grief
that will break your heart. :,
Would they shrink back from the
dark picture and loose each other g
hands? Would they turn coldly from
each other. unable to walk thru that
fiery furnace together7
All, perhaps they would. The best Of
us are selfish. Thanks, then, to the
little god Of love that he blinds their
eyes SO. that they cannot see the future.
For it is better that they should 90 on
thru the furnace together than walk
with cold hearts alone
10 back and ask that sore -stricken
father and mother in the darkened
house, and they will tell you that they
would thousand times rather endure
this crushing sorrow together than walk
out in the sunshine alone. -. $3.50

This princess passes thru an iron gate

was seen by the Frenchman in the gar
den Of her home, attended by her lady

a few minutes, telling him, among other
things, how, like her father. she wished
to live far from the madding crowd,
and that she had never said all the
stupid things American newspapers
have put into her mouth. After her
marriage, she explained, the manage

the passing Of a little soul
Within darkened house sat a man
and a woman. broken with anguish too
great to be borne. For them the light
had gone out of life. The little voice
whose prattle had made the sweetest
music their ears had ever known, was
silent. The rosy lips, put up so often
to be kissed, were mute and cold in
death. The tiny hands lay white as
marble-and as still.
The mother s arms ached with empti-
ness; and the young father paced the.
floor in his, agony, prematurely old and
bent with grief.
Now and then they went together up
to that room, shaken with sobs-
came out trying to strengthen each
other in memory of the calm, serene
majesty of death.
It was hard! It was hard! But it
was part Of life. It was the very
fruit Of lowell,

worse, did they think Of this3 All,
no. Who does?

Graft i'm San Francisco.

Graft that has arisen phoeniX-like
from the ashes of San Francisco is
fighting desperately to loot what re-
mains of her financial ruin. That vice
should boldly attempt to seize even the
reins of law at such a time compares
these plumbers to nothing less than the
cutthrOats Of the Spanish main.
The spectacle of the Golden Gate
slipping back into days when the vigi
lantes measured out carttail justice is
sadder because of her great disaster,
yet. if all of the spirit of 40 is not
dead, a more modern order of vigi-
lantes, with the law back of their ac-
tions, will cleanse the new city of
these parasites of civilization before
the rapid growth of multitudinous in
terests permits the grating element TO
hide until the storm has blown over.

SIS years of age had the ordinary APP
pearance of being old.
How many persons of So could have
conducted themselves as Mrs. Eddy did
during this trying newspaper inquisi-
ton? To attain such an age, to carry it
gracefully, to be able to go for a drive
daily, to walk with a stately, languid
grace" usually means 10 have lived a
clean and wholesome life.
Such a life unqestionably has been
that of Mrs. Eddy. For 40 years she
has been teaching what she believed
to be a doctrine of pure thinking and
pure living. Thousands all over the
world have thought enough of her
to follow her. to revere her, to honor
her The lives of these followers are
open to their fellows. and the average
OF these lives is of high order.
Now Mrs. Eddy has grown old. Phys
icalIy she shows the ordinary marks of
old age; mentally she appears to be as
young and as strong as ever. One does
not need to subscribe to her teaching
to see in her a woman of extraordinary
force of character, woman who has
followed her ideal of what life should
be. woman vino has learned the re-
spect that all right-minded people pay
to old age.
Mrs Eddy, the woman. is worthy of
our regard Hers has been life of
doing good, of trying to make the
world better according as the light has
come TO her. One need not believe
that her way is the only way. but one
cannot be just to ones self and to
ones best impulses and not condemn
with all the strength that words can
convey that cowardliness, meanness,
ncharitableness and unmanliness that
would seek to cast disrespect and ridi-
Guile on this gentle pure. high-minded,
earnest. aged Sentlewoman

The Philadelphia Vote,

Some idea of the effect of personal
registration upon the vote of Philadel-
phia may be gathered from the figures
of the first II wards. Two years ago
the total vote returned from these
wards was GS.G95. and, the republican
majority 5O.SS7 This year the total
number Of qualified voters registered in
these wards is 1852. or 5000 less than
the alleged republican majority in 1904
The Fifth ward. which returned a re-
publican majority of 1924. proves now
to have but 2.209 qualified voters. and
the Seventh wards G.75S majority
shrinks to a total registration of $3.50.
The aggregate registration in the city,
$50. 1888. is less by 10000 than the vote
returned two years ago.
There were at least 10000, therefore.
of bogus voters. repeaters. and myths
unable to respond to the most eloquent
appeals to stand by the party" this

Mrs. EddY-The Woman.

Chicago Evening Post: Disreputable
journalism strikes its lowest depths
when it attacks an aged woman, and
more especially a woman who has
grown old gently and gracefully in liv
ing and teaching what she and thous
ands of her followers believe to be the
essentials of pure thought, pure speech
and pure acts.
1t remained for one of New York's
representatives of degenerate journal
ism to invade the privacy of Mrs
Eddy's home. in Concord, TO print an
alleged interview with her and to say
certain things about her that another
New York newspaper-openlyo opposed
to Mrs. Eddys teachings-has shown
today to be unqualifiedly false.
Twelve newspaper representatives
were courteousIy received in Mrs.
Eddy's home. They went there TO veri-
fy or to disprOve, according to the
facts, the manifestly biased story of
a few days before. What did these II
reporters discover?
The New York Sun prints the result
of their visit The Sun is unfriendly TO
Mrs. Eddy's teachings. yet what it
says bears the impress of truth and
fairness. Mrs. Eddy stood during the
interview, steadying herself by holding
onto a portiere curtain; her voice
trembled slightly, but was remarkably
level and deep: her face was white, her
head and hands trembled. her features
were thin and pointed: at the close of
the interview she walked to her car

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa.
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of Che field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

AT THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience Of Winston Churchill Fa.
miliar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, "is a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort.
New Hampshire, with it's superb eli
mate, it's mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts of America.
In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum-
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
And 1 am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that I could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
fine big farm, but the fare was
canned vegetables, con-
densed milk and so on.
"By Jove,' 1 said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those I get in New York
My farmer host snorted.
"'That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill he said. It's
from New York that all our eggs
come.'"
