Death and given herself to these babies to be so stripped and bereft.

Death and given herself to these babies to be so stripped and bereft.
 ''Can't you leave me just one?" she sobbed But, society--the uncom- fortable and well-fed and well clothed society which is all-powerful with courts and institutions-coldly said no.
 Is it necessary for charity to be so cruel? Is the best institution as good thing for babies as the worst mother who loves her children? Could not Chi cago find some way to get rid of the dirt and squalor without tearing mother from babies?
 Shelley speaks in one of his poems of the tears of charity which turned into millstones as they fell and crushed the poor. Mrs. ormsby may not read Shelley, but don't you suppose she would understand that poem?

MoRGAN's HUMAN SIDE
One Aspect of the Great Financier Not
 Widely Known

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Tn the popular view MT. J. P. Morgan is not a man of sentiment, not man who yields to impulse, not man inter ested in the little things of life. The world hears most about his activities as an international financier, as Gro esus-like art connoisseur, who will give fortune occasionally for painting or tapestry. Yet, Mir. Morgan is very human at times, if what the newspapers publish about him be true. There is a great hospital in New York for indi- gent women. MT. Morgan founded and endowed it. He hobnobs with royalty and the peerage on the other side of the Atlantic. He maintains yacht with 6 piratical name. He is up to his eyes in world finance. Yet he is not so en- grossed in the cares and pleasures of life--in art and books, for he is noted collector, both of art objects and first editions and manuscripts of famous works of literature--that he is out of touch with the humanities even in the small and obscure side of life.
 MT. Morgan attended the opening of the Museum of Art in New York not long ago. A woman with baby in her arms attracted his attention. What should MT. Morgan do but secure the name of the mother and child and an nounce that the baby should be ''fel- low for life' of the museum, with all the privileges which 2 fellowship se- cures. The cost of the fellowship is @5,000. and MT. Morgan said he would pay it.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Plea for Participation of Other Sex in
 Our Government

From address by Mrs. Clarence Mackay.
 Government among men is really in it's infancy. People make a mistake in thinking this world is old and cold. We are just beginning. Hitherto the function of government has been a police function. Man has been a fight ing and governing animal, keeping away with club and spear other fighting ami mals from his home. Little by little men have changed from government by brute force to government by thought and morality. Little by little the man has allowed the good moral element in him to take its place in government but he has always persistently kept the good moral element in the race---namely, women-from having any place in gov ernment at all. The process by which man has gradually allowed morality, decency and altruism to share in the government has been slow and reluct- ant.
 Woman's influence has been felt in all the various channels of our lives; but she has been an influence without responsibility, and no nation Is the bet ter for what must be an immoral factor in its structure. Influence without re- sponsibility is immoral By bringing the mothers vote into our political life we will enlist progressive force, full of promise for the future of the state. It is impossible for the half to express the whole
 The vote would open many posts in municipal work which are now closed or only granted as favor to non- voters. Women can serve, and serve well on school boards, and as tenement house commissioners, and as factory in- spectors. There is great deal of mu. nicipal housekeeping to be done which women can do far better than men. Ii seems unreasonable to assume that women would satnd up and demand the ofices for which they are physically un. fitted. We know our limitations, each of us, and We only want to use these tools which we are able to handle. Our country needs our work. We mus, reach out to the limits of our possibil ities, and through our labor, with ouI leisure, help one state to be great be ycnd all others because it is using all its individuals. women with men, alike

 If the fact is that less than fifty students even are in attendance at the territorial normal school at Flagstaff, it should in no wise influence the legis- lature to abolish the school, as Assemb lyman Sutter, of Cochise intimates, as chairman of the visiting committee, he will recommend. Arizona has already placed high worth upon the value of education. Her teachers are paid high CT per capita than those of any state in the union, but not too high. Well may Arizona afford to establish her nor nal school upon such high standard as to attract to its halls the best of young American manhood and womanhood who desire to give their lives to the work of building foundations of the mother hood. fatherhood and citizenship of the republic. No public school teacher should be paid les than the wage of the most skiliful mechanic. When such a condition prevails the Arizona normal school, or schools, for there will not be one but many in the years to come, will contain thousand students instead of two or three score. It behooves the dem ocratic party to keep in line for the very highest standard of public sduca. tion and recognition of the very build. CTS of the republic.
 No one questions that exhorbitant freights and fares, and unjust discrim. ination by the railroads have been a great drawback to Arizona's develop. ment. The democratic members of the legislature in session should not forge, that they were elected on solemn pledges to remedy intolerable transpor. tation conditions. Railroad development is vital to the welfare of the new state a-borning, and 1t should not be the part of the democratic party to unwisely an. tagonize these great interests whose welfare are 50 interwoven with the wei fare of the state, but in legislation should be guided by the principle of partnership between common carriers and the people. Give each a square deal and the problem is solved to the everlasting advantage of both.
 In short, the need of the democratic party in the territory is great leader. ship instead of cunning politics; the elimination of every species of graft; the placing of premium upon honesty in business, honesty in politics, virtue in the broadest sense in the individual who leads. The territory is at the dawn ing of new and glorious day. Let the democratic party realize its mean ing and enter the new dawning as the beginning of it's life, profiting by its mistakes of the past and trusting God the PEOPLE.

THE CRUELTY OF CHARITY.

THE CRUELTY UT ChAnlIr.
 You are a father or mother. we will assume. If not, the instinct that makes of us all parents in our souls will make you understand.
 You imagine, you know. the thrill and the agony that comes with the hur- ried telephone message to the family physician, the hours of moaning and agony, the intense desire to know if the little stranger-in part you. in part an- other, fused by love--is perfect in every limb, capable of becoming a joy for life, the child of your heart to give you the anxiety you would not part with, and at last to close your eyes for the last time, and to stand beside the dark mouth the earth opens to receive your cold clay; or is perhaps deformed, a daily pain and sorrow, and dearer for that very fact-but in any case yours. Yours by the sacredest tie that can possibly be imagined.
 Or you know the vision or the actu- ality of the little coffin covering the hope that never blossomed. Or still more awful, the larger one that shrines the mother that gave her life for the life of the race.
 Mrs. Chas. Ormsby of Chicago had gone down into the Valley of the Shadow as demanded by motherhood seven times. Her three babies were suddenly made seven by terrible or deal in which she bore four babies at a birth.
 She was poor. Her husband deserted her three months before the four babies were born. So she went to theaters and amusement parks and exhibited herself and her four babies-"t the ormsby quads.'' as the slang of the day called them-for money. Starving is an inconvenient thing.
 The authorities stopped her. Some how the tender morals of society, which felt no compunction at her poverty, were scandalized by the exhibition of her strange fate. The Ormsby quads dropped out of sight and society quieted down.
 !! The other day, however, this terrible woman who had four babies at birth and dared to be poor, was found with her flock in squalid shanty. Instead of dolls with eyes "that really shut, '' these babies were playing with rags and old bottles and other ''treasurers. In dirty corner was dirty bed in which the seven little ormsbys slept. In the oven four plump kittens were housed, and chickens roasted on the rickety chairs.
 Society, in the form of the Chicago juvenile court, drew up It's immaculate skirts This would never dol There were Homes and Industrial Schools where these mites of human ity would be so much better oil.
 The morals of the babies were not looked after. Johnnie, aged 8, wiped the tears from his dirty face and said to the policeman, "You let my ma alone, gol durn youi"
 So the seven were taken away from Mrs. ormsby. They went to spick and span institutions where their morals may be looked after, and Mrs. ormsby went back to her hovel to find the rags and old bottles with no dirty lit tle hands to fondle them, to hear the kittens mew disconsolately, to comfort herself with the chickens. to look over into the dirty bed once all too popuious, and to wonder why she had gone down into the Valley of the Shadow of

Ice Sport For Danish Children.

In Denmark oneof the favorite forms
of exercise on the ice is a game
wherein the skaters can have their
fun and also the tots who prefer to
ride upon sleds.
A large pole is fixed upright In the
middle of the frozen pond and a
cross beam is attached, the whole af-
fair being kept from topping over
by means OF a large wagon wheel,
through whose hub the upright pole
Is thrust and which lies fat upon the
fee. To the end of the longer section
OF the transverse beam a string of
sleds is attached. and then eight or
ten OF the large lads and lassies be-
gin to skate in a circle, pushing the
beam around with them, while the
little fellows climb on the sleds.
Around and around they go. faster
and faster, amid shouts Of delight,
until the string of sleds is flung out
across the ice like lash of long
whip. 1t often becomes necessary
for those who are furnishing the
motive power to slaCken speed in or
der to let the coasters get back into
better position, centrifugal force
having stretched them out sometimes
almost TO the banks of the lake.

Reckless Shooting in France.

The shooting season which has just
come to an end in the Department OF
the Seine is by universal consent con-
sidered to have been far below the
average. Migrating game is on the
decrease and indigenous preserved

ing in all but the largest and most
plentifully stocked shootings.
The blame is laid indiscriminately
on poachers and vermin. but few have
the courage to attribute TO its real
cause the deterioration of sport. This
is nothing else than the enormous in
crease in the number of sportsmen
and the insufficiency OF preserved
lands in France. Not so long ago
the number Of licensed guns was only
$4,000, whereas now 1t is 100000.
Half OF the country is at their mercy,
and they shoot without thought or

To Avoid Cramps.

You often hear of people dying
from cramps while in swimming, "
said a physician, but the fact is that
a very small percentage OF persons
really die from cramps while bathing.
Be the bather a good swimmer or
otherwise, he or she usually gets
more or less water in the ears, and
when large quantity Of the fluid
finds it's way there it floods the ear
drums and causes the nerves leading
to the brain to become paralyzed.
This naturally forces other vital
nerves to cease performing their duty
and the result is death. If people
who go swimming would, as / have
done for the past forty years, put a
piece Of cotton in each ear to prevent
the flooding Of that organ, the num-
ber of deaths from so-called cramps
would be much smaller"

To Prevent Rusting.

It is better to use wooden pegs in
bath rooms or kitchens where damp
towels or cloths are apt to be hung,
otherwise the linen may rust from the
iron.
II iron hooks are already in place
and 1t is not convenient to change
them, give them coat of white en-
amel paint. 1t prevents danger of
rusting and is much less unsightly
against the paper.
If the linen has already been
rusted it may be removed by rubbing
with lemon juice and salt.-New

Automatic Razor StrOp.

To know the luxury of a smooth,
clean shave the edge of any razor
must be right to start with and must
be kept right. TO the man who
shaves himself the stropping of the
razor is the most difficult part Very
often he ruins the edge Of the razor
in his endeavors to strop it. Turning
the blade at too great an angle de-
stroys the edge. This cannot happen
with the stropping machine shown
here, patented by an Ohio man. The
operation of the contrivance is very
simple. The razor is placed in posi-
ton at the upper end Of the strop,
which, of course, is flexible, and the
strop pulled back and forth. The
strop thus passes alternately over
each side OF the blade, catching it at

PITY THE SORROWS
OF THE SEAGULLS.
Society in England to ProvIds
Eonfres Where They Can Dry
Feathers on Stormy Nights.

A society has been formed at Whit
by, on the northeast coast of England,
for the prevention of sickness among
seagulls. and for the purpose OF
bringing cheer and comfort to them.
One Of the prime objects of the
society, as set forth in its circular,
quoted by Answers, is 10 esta blish
places along the coast, where on wet
and stormy nights bonfres can be
lighted. at which seagulls can dry
their feathers and thus prevent Group,
rheumatism and other ills caused by
damp.
"Often on a cold, damp afternoon, ="
declares the Whitby lady who inspires
the circular, when walking along
the cliffs or on the seashore, my heart
has ached sadly to hear how full OF
pain and how hoarse are the cries
emitted by the gulls, which, dripping
wet, and evidently suffering from
Group, rheumatism. sore throat and
billache, fly inland, their plumage
dripping wet, in vain endeaTor to
find warmth and shelter.
In my small way | have endeav-
ored to alleviate their sufferings by
spending a night on the beach, with
charcoal fire, round which gulls
have fiuttered all night, evidently ap-
preciating the warmth and light"
Another clause in the circular goes
on to say that, in addition to these
bonfires, shelters are to be estab.
lished near by, wherein food and
drink and a constant supply of hot
water will be provided" In the
presence of all these privileges and
attractions, the seagulls may decide
to change their habits and live on
land.

Tie Back the Curtains.

There are many ways of tying back
curtains to prevent them from rub
bing against the dusty screens, the
most common being bands Of the
same material as the curtain or white
tassels. There is, however, a far
more artistic and newer way Of OBJ
tanning the same results.
First measure the number Of inches
you desire your curtain to extend to-
ward the centre Of the window, have
two rods cut to a window, the ends
nearest the window centre being
ended with a cap or ball to prevent
the curtain from slipping off. In
stead of the usual screw plate, have
the rod fastened to a small brass
hinge that may be screwed to the
woodwork.
The result is that when the win
dows are to be opened or you wish
stronger light, you merely turn the
curtains out as you might a door
