- 1bsen has dealt with the tragedies
of ordinary women's lives, but no
poet has yet drawn the grand figure
of the mother of American children,

PEELED to pay her court physician.
Come, Queen Lii. pay your bill.

the subject of awe-struck whisper:
and incredulous comments. If any
one died leaving hundred Thousand
dollars it was considered to be q re

The best thing the University Q
Puget Sound, situated in Tacoma
could do, would be to inform lie
