THE WAY or IT.

Ell. Wheeler wfieox. This is the way of it wide world over; One is beloved and one Is the lover.
 One gives and the other .ecsives' One offers smile for q nfss @ devosion' One hopes and the other peneves. Cme lies awake in the night 10 w7op' And the other drifts of into sweet
 sound sleep. One soul Is aflame with godlike pas One plays with love in an idier's fash
 One 'G Speaks and the other hears. One soss. T love you and wet eyes And one % laughs lightly. and says. T
 with smiles for the others tears. One lives for the other and nothing And the other remembers the world
 Is wide. |. This is the way of t sad world over;
 And 'aS aSe '0os,: other learns to forget. "For what what is the use of endless s0r' Though the sun goes down 1t will rise
 tomorrow;
 on! know this truth. if know no That Passionate Love Is Pains own

 THE WOMAN REFoRMER. New York Journal.
 One of the women I always rejoice to meet--for in common with the rest of humanity, I owe her debt l can .noh pay--is the Woman Reforner. But for her we should never know how wicked the world is or how bad for aIf w fA Tn every community she is a self ap- pointed arbiter of morals, q watch dog of other peoples conduct we could not do without.
 You may recognize her at sight by the tag ends of ribbons--each denot- ing an anti-something society to which she belongs-that are pinned on her flat and narrow chest. She has also an eagle eye that can see vuIsarity m e statue and immortality in children dancing around a May pole; nose that can scent evil from afar. and a mouth set in a rigid line of disapproval. as if she had just avowed something that had disagreed with her.
 The theory on which the woman re- former works Is beautifully simple. Whatever she doesn't enjoy doing her self is wrong and ought to be sup pressed. She doesn't smoke, and she ' She drinks nothing but tea, and she gets laws passed making 1t a crime for other people to drink beer. She never travels, and she wants all trains stopped on Sundays. Nothing livsiier than a bloody tragedy appeals to her In an amusement way. and she wants tho gay burlesque cepsured off of the stage She never laughs, and she is deeply. darkly suspicious of the wo- AAM and she feeds her family on the health food messes that are 50 good for their stomachs and so bad for their pal ates. When she marries 1t is for the sacred joy of policing her husbands habits and changing his ways, for with the Woman Reforn1er's reforms always be- gin at home and on the unfortunate men she has married. She discovers that smoking might give him tobacco heart and stops his cigars; that the dishes he prefers are indigestible, and never has them, and that all his old friends are liable to lead him astray, and cold shoulders them out of the house. There isn't a single thing. from his politics and religion to the way he wears his collars and gets his hair cut, that she doesn't interfere with, and, finally, when she has bulldozed him into doing her way, she goes about bragsing of wtfes uplifting influence over e husband.
 There's no earthly way of reforming @ Woman Reformer, but sometimes she dies. Then people wonder at the forti tude with which her husband and chil- dren and the community bear their loss.
