Joy shall be my name."

Here the maternal love and pride OF
the still confident and trusting wife is
shown. In these scenes Puccini is SUI
perb, altho revcrting somewhat to
the same method he employed in his
La Bohcme." The use of the Ameri-
can motif, paraphrasing OF some
of the familiar bars OF THE Star
Spangled Banner gives emphasis to
the paternity of the child, and lends
color to the episode. The theme of the
constant faith of the Wife Is finely set
forth by the wood, winds and string
in these scenes.
1t Is in the third act, after weary
vigil, the watching and waiting for
the return of the husband, whose ship,
already announced by the booming Of
cannon, lies anchored in the offing OF
Nagasaki. that the beauty of the three
loves OF Madam Butterfly receives full
demonstration. The daughter Of a
Samauri. whose life was declared for
felt by the mikado for his espousal Of
the cause of his feudal lord, or Diimio,
finding herself deserted by her hus-
band cast off by her relatives, and de-
nounced by all the priests and sup
planted by the real American wife.
who asks for the child, Butterfly re-
solves to end 1t ALL She stands before
the image Of Buddha, lost in sad
thought, with a prayer on her lips
Taking the dagger of the father, which
is in waxen sheath, she piously kiss
es the blade, holding it with both hands
by the point and handle. Then she
reads the words inscribed upon the
blade:
"To die with honor
When one can no longer live with
honor"
She points the dagger at her throat
Suzuki pushes toward it's mother the
child, who comes running with out
stretched hands. Butterfly lets fall the
dagger, snatches up the child and, in
a soul-stirring farewell number, sings:
"Adored being! Fairest
Flower of beauty!
Here, on your dear fair head.
Here let me bury
My tortured brow
Among your curls,
Tho none must know ft
IT'S for you I'm dying.
I.spoor Butterfly,
That you may go away
Beyond the ocean,
Never to feel the torment when YOU
are older
That your mother forsook you!
Oh, my son, sent from heaven,
Take one last careful look
At your poor mothers face!
Then. rushing behind the screen,
dagger in hand, she completes the sac
rif1ce. Tottering from the screen she
feebly embraces the loved one and
expires.
No heroine Of the many grand OPP
eras OF the past can compare with this
exquisite creation. The story breathes
ly beautiful picture of the Land of
the Azalea," where the absence of the
moral code is accounted for on the
ground Of the innate perfection of Jap
anese humanity and -abnegation.
Upheld by the deep moral precepts
of Buddha, the poor Geisha, whose
butterfly life prior to the Japanese
covenant with the American lieutenant
was one Of perpetual amiability, de-
stroys herself with the dagger. on the
blade Of which is still preserved her
fathers blood.
In Japan the butterfly is regarded as
the symbol of womanhood, and

San Francisco.
 The mother also learned she could buy her sons release for a certain sum of money, sent 1t to her son and awaited his homecoming.
 And then one morning the mail carrier brought her letter. She looked at it and tainted. It was her own letter re- turned, and across its face was stamped in large letters
 Deserted"
 From that moment she faded, and in a few days she died, the doctors said of a broken heart
 And that was murder.
 Had Mrs. Sweeney lived in Russia, where bureaucratic government rides cruelty over human hearts, one might expect the red tape rules of barbarity.
 But in the United States!
 It is all right to punish deserters from the navy That is necessary for disci- pline. But it is not all right to break the hearts of mothers by cruel customs. It for the guilty.
 This branding of letters is a part of the eighteenth century procedure that used to tie sailors to the mast and lash their bare bfsks with the cato nine tails for some trivial fnfracture of the rules.
 The thing is relic of the dark ages
 We hear much about the inefficiency Of our naval bureaus. Certainly a reform is needed as to their needless cruelty.
 It is no less crime to kill loving mother because it Is done by bureau cratic brutality.
 The heartless custom of printing ''de- serter'' on the envelopes of friends should be stopped.

K --IennySon.
 One woman journeyed on foot 1000 miles, drawing a little Express wagon, that she might keep her children together.
 Mrs Ella M. Arthur performed thfs feat. She thus travelled all the way from Texas to Ames, Iowa.
 Six years ago the husband deserted her and three small children. Her entire cap- ltal was d COW, q pig and two small i.ands.
 Mrs. Arthur chanced to come across a famboyant circular telling of a new town on the gulf coast The land flowed with milk and honey-and opportunity so 1t said. Selling COW and pig, she bought ticket to the Texas town Then came disillusion. The town was mostly on paper.
 But the woman was gritty.
 She found a temporary home for the older children in the Texas country. She bought little wagon. and had left 90 cents to get to South Dakota, where she had relatives.
 Onward across the plains of Texas and Indian Territory wearily trudged the lit tle mother, pulling the child. kind-heart- ed Texas farmers helped her. Sometimes she stopped to work for few days. In this way she got to Arnis, Iowa, where ticket was given her to South Dakota.
 At the latter town the husband turned np. He would agree to divorce and alimony of 5000 if the mother would give

which involves the practical side of both ethics and philosophy?
 It is true not every teacher could teach or lecture in such a course. Strong com nonsense, experience, an altruistic spirit these would be necessary.
 But what an opportunity for such teacher!
 How. for instance, it could be enlarged upon that. successful marriage requires the exercise of the highest qualities of manhood and womanhood: how its disci pline of spirit is designed to bring out the highest and noblest in man and wo- man.
 If the schools can help society in this. one of it's greatest needs, why not try them?
 Something must be done.

"Just Jimmie,s Wife."

A newspaper sketch shows two chil- dren, girl and a boy. They are being interviewed by a woman. This is part of the conversation: And what do you expect to make of yourself, Maud, when you grow up?'
 MaudJust Jimmie's wife, ma am.
 Which was cute rejoinder--and more
 Maud may change her mind when she grows up Our childish ideals change sometimes. Certainly when she Is grown up she will be less frank to say she is going to be Jimmie's wife, whatever she may feel about it.
 But the wisdom of childhood caused Maud to choose the better part. Be- cause
 If Jimmie proves to be the right sort and if he is to do his best he must have a good wife. What Jimmie is to do and be will depend largely on Jimmies wife. He will need a Maud to make a man of him. And. in making man Of Jim mic, Maud will have her \ and heart quite full.
 Mighty important, Just Jimmie's wife"
 Of course 1t Is hard to predict. When Maud grows up she may have special talents for something else, or Jimmie may not suit her or she him. But other things equal, each will know when the time comes.
 And Maud can aspire to no higher po- sition than being Jimmes wife.
 If she holds to her girlish choice and they choose each other no greater crown of happiness can come to her. Woman was made for wifehood and womanhood, and she finds her highest satisfactions in fulfilling her destiny. The abundance of her being demands husband and children upon whom she may lavish her love.
 She who misses this misses abundant life.
 And if Maud rnarries Jimmie, besides filling the measure of her own normal desire. she will have great chance to do for Jimmie.
 The gentle influence, subtle, but strong, of woman working by and through the man she loves, Is the pow CT that moves the world. More than that, it is the power that saves the world.
 For, mind you
 Always and everywhere, when you find good man or a great man. al- ways you will find good woman be- hind the man.
 Blessings on the Mauds who find their content and joy in being just Jimmie's wife!"

up the baby. Penniless. tired, discour-
 aged, after many tears, Mrs. Arthur con- sented.
 Then, having got the money, she re-
 pented the arrangement And now she is looking for the baby, placed by the
 father in some orphan asylum. And the poor mother declares she will spend every cent to get her child back. This is no fancy story It is a true heroic-ony one of myriads in the annals of motherhood. Mrs. Arthur cannot rest until she gets her baby and brings alle her little brood together again.
 That is the mother of it. The picture of the little woman's weary
 trek of a thousand miles needs no set ting. It is a picture of the love that does
 miracles-the love of mother for her own.

What Money Will Buy.

certain man, reputed to be from Chicago, went down Broadway, New York city, few days ago distributing five and ten dollar bills to the people.
 The man was arrested and adjudged in sane. It was taken for granted that any man who would voluntarily give away what everybody was trying to have and hold must necessarily be crazy. How ever-
 The man might have been merely drunk. | Or his conscience may have troubled him because of the way in which he got the l money.
 Or he may have been prompted by phil anthropic feelings.
 Or
 But, to dismiss motives, is the mere fact that a man gives away good money on the street evidence that he is insane?
 If so, why do we say that men who immersed in money getting, who do noth- ing and think nothing but money-why do we say that these men are money mad?' Is it not true that when a man gets the insane notion into his head that money is the only thing worth while in this world he is mentally unbalanced?
 Then why conclude that only the man who gives money away is mad?
 Will money buy the best things-love, joy, peace?
 Certainly not. They are not for sale on any counter They are the fruits of d mans spirit. They spring up ill his soul and ripen there.
 will money buy the affection of friends, the common joys of the simple life, conscience void of offense, the reward Of patience or good will, these blessings of a well ordered life-can money buy these at barter and sale?
 Then why put so much value on money?
 Money can buy many things, necessities, comforts, luxuries, ease. power. And so men go over seas and continents and die for the sake of money. They even sell their souls to get money and then bask themselves in the sunshine of their self made prosperity, hoping for happiness.
 Are they not as insane as the man who was reckless with his bills?
 Because all they can buy with money are the outside things, while the true satisfactions of life spring from within. If a man were only dust, the golden dust of earth might satisfy. But he is more dust, so that beyond his world of sense, deeper than all surface comforts, are his real satisfactions
 John l.. Sullivan--and he spoke from personal experience-put this truth terse- Iy the other day when he said:
 Money will buy everything-but happi- ness"
 Think it over.
 Is 1t not possible the "crazy man" was about the only sane person on Broad way?

This is a true story about Tommy and his pup, mostly about the pup.
 The pup was Tommys understudy. When Tommy was glad, the pup re- ioiced as to his tail When Tommy was sad, it was mournful to note the decorous grief of the pup. In disposi- tion they were twins, Tommy and the pup, in every expedition comrades.
