WASN'T long before he grew an idea OF
his own.
Every family that moved TO town IL"

for the brcadwinners where necessary.
and the new people We're made to fee:

The "one Crowded Hour Of Glorious
Life" in American politics was undoubt-
edly the Civil war period. No writer has
recorded it with more intimate knowl-
edge Of intelligent sympathy than Carl
Schurz. The close Of the war was the
beginning of a most difficult problem.
which is discussed in General Schurz's
article, 'The South after the War;" in
the April AicClre's.
"The capture Of jefferson Davis was
a very serious thing, and il was regarded
by not a few cool headed and long sight
ed men as very unfortunate one IT
has become we'll known that President
Lincoln wished that the downfall Of the
Confederacy would not deliver the chief
Of the Confederacy into his hands A
Lincoln anecdote current at the time
seemed to have good authority behind
it. After Lees surrender, friend asked
Mr. Lincoln whether he did not think
il would he best ia let jefferson Davis
get out OF the country Lincoln an
severed by telling story Of Methodist
preacher out West, a strict temperance
man, who was offered glass Of water
with dash of brandy in ii, and who
replied that he would not object to a
drop Of something strong il his drink,
il that drop could be put in 'unbe-
knownst' 10 himself.
Lincoln no doubt saw clearly that the
capture Of Jefferson Davis would burden
the government with most embarrass
ing dilemma. The public voice would
insist upon the chief of the Rebellion
being tried and punished for treason.
Now. his crime Of treason had been
committed in the South. A trial for
treason BY regular tribunal in the
South would be mere farce. for It
seemed foregone conclusion that no
jury in the South could be found that
would pronounce Jefferson Davis or any
Of the heads OF the Rebellion guilty Of
treason. A trial by military commits
sion might result ii verdict Of guilty;
but result TO military tribunal for the.
trial Of a political oiTense after the close
of the war might have looked like
stretch Of arbitrary power beitting On
Old-World dcspotism rather than this
New World republic"

DeArmond Suggests Royalty
Raising"
SAVE TAX ON ALL GIRLS"
Philippines Good Place to Establish an
Industry to Supply Heiresses,
Says Congressman De
Almond.

Washington, March 30 Royalty
raising in the Philippines was urged
BY Congressman DE Almond OF Mis-.
souri, in the House Saturday during a
discussion on the island possessions.
"cut of the heavy export duty which
American girls now pay for titles be
said
we could easily secure the necessary
quantity Of barons, dukes and other
titled bipeds in the islands.
"There would be no trouble in nego-
tiating with our domestic dukes
I'VE could fix our own tariff rates and
determine what We should pay for the
privileges Of exporting to the Philip.
pines such Of our daughters as We desire
to part with and to accompany with a
right handsome dot
Thus great domestic industry would
be organized, against which there could
be no objection
Laughter and applause interrupted
Congressman DE Almond.
When the tumult subsidized he contin
ued:
Why contribute all orr millions 10
titled gentlemen in Europe in order to
dispose Of our American daughters and
make them eountesses or some other
sort Of titled ladiesg
fIt would be cheaper to get the titled
gentlemen from the Philippines, and
such course would be in harmony
with the protective policy Of the Repub-
leans
Now, as it is at present, there is an
export duty on these American girls
sent to foreign parts.
Such a condition is contrary to the
constitution. but what is the constitu-
tion when it comes to getting title
in the family for few hundred thou
sand dollars?
Let us 20 into the industry Of rails
ing noblemen in the Philippines.
~The climate Of the islands would fos
ter The growth Of that kind Of product.
They could be had in great variety.
Granted the original stock, we could
make the titles as other people have
made the titles. The Philippines have
failed to accomplish anything, SO it is
time the islands were put to practical
use.n

WOMAN'S WORLD
A NEW TRADE.
How One Woman Earns LivelIhosd
Without Special Training.


Without Special Training.
There are so many women at the
present time who are forced by cir
cumstances to find some means OK self
support that any new suggestion as to
ways and means is always received
enthusiastically
The story of woman in one OF the
large cities seems to show that every
one must have some special gift, be It
sewing, housekeeping, cleaning or BUSH
ness, and every one should geek her
especial talent until she ends 1t. This
rule should really hold good even il
money is not necessity. for a talent
may always be turned to the aid OF
another or others, as the case may be.
The particular woman of the story
was left a widow and penniless, with
rooted objection to dTessmaking and
most other forms of employment by
which the average woman seeks to
earn her living. Finally she decided
that, although her hands were long
and slender and her fingers OF the
most artistic type, she could do moth
ing but handle fine lace and frills, and
she therefore sought and obtained
some delicate fabrics to clean and
press. For two years she supported
herself by this work, although not en-
tirely TO her own satisfaction
One day she happened to pass
store where glass and other fragile
works OF art were sold. and her artis-
tic temperament caused her to enter
TO mora closely examine the beauties
displayed in showcase and on the coun-
ter. Once there her long, fine hands
strayed toward the bits of marble I'M
til the manager of the store saw her
and approached to ask her to read the
usual sign forbidding visitors to ham
die the pieces. But as he watched her
he changed his mind and instead re-
marked on her lightness of touch and
asked her II she would enter bis EN-
ployment
She replied that she could not take a
salegwoman's position, but added that
handling the fragile works of art VS.
pleasure. to which he answered,
THAT is ali want you to do-keep
them clean" SO she accepted the or
fer, and for twelve years she has tend
cd to and kept the stock In good con-
dition.
Later it occurred to her that she
might also take care Of private collec-
tons or Of those relies too precious to
trust to ordinary care.
Her business grew and grew, and
now she has all she can handle, for.
although some collections are not visit
ed but once in two years. others need
monthly attention
Thus the casual visit paid to store
started this plucky little woman on her
life work. and her story suggests many
possibilities for others too delicate for
heavy work, yet gifted In ons partic-
ulsr way.
