TuE:QUyLT5 OF PATRIOTISM

TIL: QULT' OF PATRIOTISM
1t is difficult to define patriotism.
Like love of home and mother 1t is
80 truly a matter of the heart
that it is not easily expressed IN eX-
act terms. Buo tie patriots reVer-
ence for his flag and for his pride
in this country, ifgenuine, must ex'
tend to all those living under that
flag, to men, women, little chll-
dren: it must center in his cOuntrys
institutions, in the school house,
the court house, the hospital, the
church, as truly as in its capital, Its
army and navy, its Congress, or Its
White House. The patriot loves
his whole country and desires the
prosperity of its every section.
North, South, East, West, are dear
to him, and, though obliged to live
and labor in one section only, he
wi | consider and advance the inter
ests of each. That which is for the
advantage of the whole people he
will endorse, and he will oppose any
thing that binders or harms one of
the least of Its citizens. True
patriotism, then, vanishes and ban
ishes selfshness; conseryes brother
ly love; makes the life, health and
property of all sacred; inspires the
hottest emotions, the noblest pur-
poses, the most strenuous endeavors
for common good. The patriot is a
hero, of necessity; the one involves
the other.
This being true, what shall we
call those who, posing as patriots,
shouting for the old flag, yet think
first and only of their own interests,
personal and sectional, and unhesi-
tatingly jeopardize the health, happi-
ness and prosperity of friend and
neighbor for self gain2 What shall
we say of those who bare the head
before Old Glory and then counter
act the laws for which the flag
stands, by buying for pittance,
boys and girls-mere children-to
work in mines and factories, thus
seeking pecuniary advancement at
the price of the bodies, minds and
souls of future citizens of this Re
public?
Has he right to call himself a
patriot who deals out liquid poison
to his fellows day and night for
price, and buys up legislatures that
he may continue in the unholy traf-
fc in the souls of his countrymen
and Of those who, from other lands,
have come to shelter under the flag
he processes to revere?
Let us cease to prate of patriotism
until willing to pay the price of in.
itiation into its sacred mysteries
the sacrifice of self. Who would
give honor to the flag must first have
honor burning in his own bosom!
Who would exalt the nation, must
labor to exalt the individual citizen!
Who would lift Old Glory hugh
among the banners of the earth,
must lift his own life above its
baseness, its Gttleness! Being a
patriot necessitates being helper, a
brother, a man.

THE WOMAN AND HER HAT.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch casts all caution to the four winds and hands out this deliverance:
 A woman whose hat Is wide as the diameter of Jupiter's orbit is a nuis- sits beside her must be wary or the edge of the brim will cut across his fses t 59y may sl1fng aiH gnss his eye rood aod working optic but in a very bad humor. To lose his eyesight and his good hu- nor in the same disaster-ris not that sad?
 That should be the rule--+hats off In the street car. If the ladies can't remove the monsters without too much mSch do not go beyond the ts As of common sense.
 Either the writer Is very reckless or very intrepid to thus venture on such thin ice. He should know that woman will wear just the kind of hat she likes and wear 1t just when. where. and in the manner that best suits her so there now! And that writer doesn't realize the trouble that would come to a woman if she should undertake to follow the advice thus given. It Is not with her as 1t is with people of the male persuasion. A man can snatch up his tile, throw 1t on his head in any old way, and be ready for the street in the fraction of minute. Even if all the men should remove their hats when they are on the street-cars. 1t would put them to little inconvenience.
 It is quite different with fashionab- ly dressed woman. Putting on a hat is to her a work of time. patience and art. She places it on her head and takes a look in the glass. Then she removes 1t to fix her hair differently. and puts it on again. Then she looks again, shifts the hat bit and probably sticks in a hat pin and looks at her self some more. The hat doesn't hang just right. and she changes 1t again and pins it in another place. If. everything isn't exactly to her liking. she'll do it all over.
 What sort of time would this wo- man have if she should remove her hat
 
 she do with it? If she should lay it beside her. there would only be room on the ordinary car seat for one woman and one hat. and no man would dare sit down on it-not while she had a hat-pin handy to Jab him with. And what would she do when she got ready to get off? Would she ring the car to stop and keep 1t standing while she went through the operation of putting on and adjusting her hat? or would she be expected to get out and perform the act in the street? Seems to us that the St. Louis paper has little knowI- edge of women and hats or it is ex- eeedingly reck less. The big hats are a nuisance at times, but what of 1t? They'll be worn as long as they're in the fashion, and that's all there is to 1t.
