But to Square It an Offer Of Generous
Restitution Was Made.
!, In one of the northwestern states
they like nothing better than to tell
how a few years ago there came to
that section of the Union a Boston
newspaper man whose mission it was
to write up" lynching in that quar-.
ter, although it appeared that there
had not been an illegal execution in
the state for long time. The natives
took the questions of the eastern scribe
in good part and even "jollied" him
into believing that for downright law
lessness the community wherein he
was for the moment sojourning was
about the most conspicuous portion OF
the United States.
Don't you ever make mistake In
these lynchings?" guilelessly asked the
Bostonian-' that is, don't you ever
lynch the wrong MANI"
''That happened once" put in some
one, "but we tried to do the square
thing by the widow"
"Indeedr'
yes; we appointed q committee to
inform the widow that the joke was
on US, and we gave her the choice Of

She Liked sailina.

The following true tale is a most
curious instance of living well on moth
ing year without breaking the laws
Of the land. Many years ago steam
packet company of Liverpool, wished to
buy a piece OF land which was owned
by q ''stay at home spinster," as her
neighbors described her. She sold her
land at very low price, but insisted
upon clause being inserted In the
agreement giving her the right at any
time during her life to travel with q
companion in any of the company's
vessels.
When the agreement was closed she
sold her furniture and went on board
the first outgoing ship belonging to the
packet company. For years this wise
spinster lived nearly all the time upon
one ship or another, frequently accom-
panied by companion, according to
the agreement This was always q
person who otherwise would have been
regular passenger, but who purchas-
ed her ticket at reduced rates by pay
ing the spinster instead of the packet
company The company offered her
more than twice the value of the land
if she would give up her privilege, but
this she would not do. Her reply was,
you got the land cheap, and 1 like
sailing. SO we both should be satisfied

GOD AND THE REPUBLIC 2
Phrase Favored For Coins by Oppo-
nents Of "In God We Trust"

Phrase Favored For Coins by oppo-
nents Of Gin God We Trust"
At meeting of the Young Mems
chapter of the Lewis Avenue Congre-
gational church in New York the 9TH
er evening a petition was drawn up
to be presented to the United States
government requesting that some
phrase expressive Of the nations rec
ognition of God be placed upon its
coins, says the New York Times. The
resolution said:
s'We second the objection Of Mr..
Roosevelt relative to the continued use
OF the phrase In God We Trust on
our nations coinage. The phrase is
one which easily lends itself to ocular
ity. At the same time we deprecate
the removal of all recognition of God
from the coinage. Some such phrase
as God and the Republic on the coin
Of the realm would satisfy the reli.
gious sentiment which is present in the
American people without violating the
keenest sense of humor. Such a phrase
would inject into the nations life an
element of the sacred which President
Lincoln and Secretary Chase believed
to be needed in their day and is por-
tentously needed in ours"

infallible sign, because some young wo-

everybody. It's when your bones creak
slightly on arising from chair and
you no longer swing on a moving car

you are growing old"
"Not so," chimed in q third, ''for

the workings Of your liver come to be

Two Great Poets who Were Blind

f Two Great Poets Who Were Blind.
In the roll of the great poets of the
past two who hold the very highest
places We're for an important period
of their lives unpossessed Of the power
of vision Homer and Milton. Happi-
ly these renowned followers Of the
muses. made good use Of their eyes in
youth: otherwise it is scarcely posi-
BILE that they could have left to us the
finished pictures of natural scenery
and other visible objects Of creation
which are to be found among their
compositions Homer had reached
manhood and had written considera-
BILE portion of the ''Iliad'' before he
was attacked by that disease Of the
eyes which robbed them of their won't
ed powers. But the whole of the

currence Of this great mishap. Milton
is stated by most biographers to have
permanently lost his sight in 1854 aft
er progressive and warning decay of
several years duration. Paradise
Lost" was not published till 1867. and
1t was composed when the poet was
perfectly blind.

AFGHAN WOMEN.
High Caste Mothers Have Lonely,
Lazy Time of X.

Lazy Time Of II.
II there are any women in the world
who have right to die Of ennui it is
those poor creatures Of Afghanistan.
the upper class danes. They spend
their days doing absolutely nothing.
for they disdain sewing. cooking and
general household duties. They leave
the care of their children to slaves.
and they can neither read nor write.
Generally in rich house there is
one chief slave, sort of housekeeper,
rather grand person. whom it is al
ways wise to conciliate If you intend
having many dealings with that estab-
lishment. In summer she is always
dressed in purest white. In winter
velvets and brocades are not beyond
her reach. She is generally an elderly
person, with considerab BILE influence and
q good deal Of authority.
Then there is another who is sort
of maid to the lady of the house. She
is another person with whom it is not
much in evidence. She 1t is who pre-
pares everything for her mistress tot
let, as also for her masters. 1t is the
wife's special duty and privilege, how
ever, when the things are prepared
to wait upon her husband when he is
dressing, to pour the water over his
hands and feet during his religious
washings, to spread his prayer carpet,
! to put his favorite dish before him.
and so on.
~ Itsas difficult to appreciate the exact
position Of these Afghan women until
one sees the way in which mothers
are treated by their sons. They may
nurse them when they are sick, tend
them when they are young, but let the
boys grow to be eleven or twelve years
old and you will hear them tell their
mother to "chup sho" (shut up), send
them to fetch their caps and expect
to be addressed by the mothers as
"agha gull" or "agha jon," which
means my precious MASTER" master
dear"
Kabul mothers seldom have much
affection for their children or their
children for them. They do not nurse
them as babies, and their babyhood is
particularly long one, for they are
very backward. They belong to their
nurses more than to their mothers till
they are two and one-half years old,
and after that 1t is their father who
notices them and not their MOTHER

A Curt Reply.

A story is told of Professor Mason
when editor Of Macmillan's Magazine.
1t refers to the days when Kingsley
and Newman were engaged in their
famous pamphlet war. Conscious of
the excellence of an article on the sub

written in the magazine, Mason ven
tured to bring it under the notice of
Newman, but he was not prepared for
the reply he received. although he aft
erward spoke Of 1t with philosophic
humor. Newman's laconic message
was in words such as these: II have
