Suppose Hearst should be elected
governor of New York, would his cleo
ton be more properly chargeable to
the activity of the ignorant and dis
contented or to the predacious instincts
of the few and the Indifference Of the
great majority of the averagely re-
spectacle? When men like Hearst may
aspire with hope of success to high
official station it is a warning that
things are out of joint. Hearst is not
the disease, but one of its manifesto
lions.
Mrs. Maitland Alexander, whose
husband is pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church in Pittsburg, the most
fashionable in that city, has been prac-
tically ostracized by her social circle
because she rode man-fashion at a
horse show in SeWickley recently. Mrs.
Alexander previous to her marriage
was Miss Madeline Laughlin and she
inherited about $10,0OO,OOO from her
father, pioneer in the steel industry.
At the horse show she and another
woman rode man-fashion in steeple-
chase and Mrs. Alexander won. Her
husband is also wealthy, but members
of his congregation have impressed it
on him that the combined fortunes of
the family do not justify his wife in
violating established rules.
There are no sounds Of feet
Or wagons in the street
So still, so beautiful
With air so fresh and COOL
1 love the dawn to come;
And yet know that some
Are not so glad as L
For they must wake to cry.
-Harpers for November.
