THE BEST WIVES.

The working girl makes the best
wife.
So says President Mary e. woolley
head Of Mount Holyoke college, one OF
the leading colleges for girls.
Which is an unusual admission from
such q source.
But true!
Statistics show that less than so pei

It stands to reason the working CIR

THE THREE SIDED PEDESTAL,

Here, let us suppose, is n three sided
pedestal or box painted upon one side
red. upon another side white and upon
another side blue.
One person from his angle OF vision.
looking at the pedestal and seeing but
the one side. says:
THE pedestal Is painted red"
Another person. viewing the pedestal
from a different point of view and see-
ing but one side. says:
NO; the pedestal is painted white"
A third individual. looking at the
pedestal from still another quarter of
the comps IS, disagrees and says:
You are both mistaken. The ped
estal is painted blue"
The three persons begin discussion,
each trying to convince the others
they are wrong. whereupon a fourti,
person walks entirely around the ped
estal and, viewing 1t from all three
points OF view. stops the debate by
saying:
You are all right. gentlemen. and
you are all wrong. because
''The pedestal is painted RED and
WHITE and BLUE"
Which illustrates the truth that
much depends upon the point OF view.
Everything. all systems OF truth, every
human life. whatever you can see and
judge and criticise-everything has its
many sides and phases.
And In your judgment OF anything
whatsoever be sure you see IL from
every possible point Of view. Be
cause
He who sees things from but d sin
gle angle Of vision Is apt to be narrow.
provincial. prejudiced. He lacks the
sweep OF the broader vision. the hori-
zon Of the wider view.
Most debates occur because each de-
batter sees only his side OF the discus
sion and refuses to look upon the other
side.
Most criticisms concerning the lives
Of men and women are made because
only n single phase OF character is
seen. whereas a fuller knowledge of
the life would reveal hitherto unseen
excellencies.
Is II not so?
And II so ought not the conscious
ness OF 1t make all OF us humble rath-
er than prideful. charitable rather than
critical?
The most ignorant man I'm the world
Is the man who thinks he knows IL
all. and because OF his ignorance he Is
boastful of himself.
Let us remember
The pedestal has more than one side.
Before we are confident let us walk
entirely around It,

COUNTRY GIRL IN THE CITY.

To stay at home Is best"
You may quote the homely old adage
In vain TO the girl whose ambitious
dreams lure her away from the coun-
try place or the village to the city.
And often the girl who stays ut
home envies the girl who goes away.
Distance lends enchantment to the
view. The dream of city life is like
glittering pageant In the shifting
kaleidoscope OF the girls aspirations
She sees only the bright Lights.
More and more the city swallows up
the pure womanhood and manhood OF
the country. Already more than half
OF the people OF the UnitedAStates live
In cities, and the proportion. grows
larger yearly.
This is how II IS:
The girl OF town or country grows
tired OF teaching district school or
clerEng IN the village store or staying
on the farm. She goes to the city to
realize her dream OF life.
AT the first she Is delighted-enam-
ored OF the glare and glitter. Here.
she thinks, is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence OF things seen
In her visions.
Then comes disillusion.
The awful loneliness OF the crowd
comes upon her. The sordtd surround
ings Of her cheap boarding house, the
comparison OF her frumpy dresses
with the tailored suits of.Weu dressed
women-these things lead to heart
aches and Indebtedness. She IS a
stranger In strange land.
Poor lassiel
III she Is made Of strong moral fiber
She will come through 1T all and save
her womanhood and self respect. but
she VIII also grow a little callous OF
heart and mind. In opposing her self
ishness TO the sordid selfishness OF her
world some OF the bloom of innocency
Is likely to disappear.
III there Is weakness somewhere
In her moral armor her very virtues
or innocence and trustfulness may
lead to her undoing.
To stay at home is best.
To be sure. IL is quiet down on the
farm or In the village. but the monot.
ony Is as nothing TO the aching lone
illness that comes I'm the midst Of
strange crowds. And there are a full
ness OF happy comradeship and n
Iriendiiness OF contact among the
nome folks shat are never to be found
elsewhere.
Besides. should the country girl be
able to win her way in the city and
save her soul, what has she gained
ever the home life2
Experience; that is all.
And that experience may have been
bitter in the getting. She has seen a
larger but not better world. She
has had q few more clothes, a few
more thrills Of excitement. Even az
the best she has accomplished a peace
or soul that has been dearly bought.

FROM SCRUBBER TO PRIMA DONNA.
An expression by a Springfield
(MassJ man serves to show how 1exi-
Bile Is our American society.
This man refuses to pay $3.50 to
hear Nine. Olive Fremstad sing be-
cause. he says. the singer scrubbed the
floors OF his kitchen a few years ago.
This is the story:
Il lived In Minneapolis from 1884 to
1889 and came to Springfield In 1899
In 1886 in Minneapolis We had our
piano tuned by a man named Frem-
stad, who said he had daughter whom
he wished broSght up In the American
way and wanted us to take her In and
teach her how to be n domestic.
We'll, we did this and paid the girl
$3.50 a week. Her name wns Anna
Olive Fremstad, who, now see. is 70
sing I'm our city. In the earlier days
could hear her sing without paying a
cent 1t costs me $3.50 now. won't
pay It"
Forsoothl
Because few years ago Anna Olive
Fremstad worked in his kitchen at
$3.50 per and warbled freely and with
out price this man asks the old. old,
pharaSaic question:
"Can any good come out of Naza-
rethT
a prophet Is not without honor save
in his own country. and prima donna
is not without recognition save to the
man whose floors she once scrubbed.
But this is not good doctrine in the
republic (which spells Opportunity"
The Springfield man is not good
American. Does he think our society
is. like the laws of the Modes and Per-
slams, Interchangeable? On the contrary,
it is very mutable.
Garfield put 1t well when he said in
effect that our society is not like the
society OF Europe, which resembles the
strata Of the earth, each layer above
holding the one beneath 1t down, but
that our society is rather like the
waves of the sea. where the lowest
drop may rise and glisten on the top
most wave.
When she scrubbed the kitchen
floors Anna Olive Fremstad was one
OF the lowest drops In the bed Of So
ciety's big ocean. But she rosei And
now she glistens on the topmost wave
as Nine. Fremstad, whom to hear one
must pay $3.50.
That Is the true American way.
You can't hold the drop down.

on the street today may be your sons

sons gwen prove the opposite-that is
TO say
We Americans are the happiest peo-
pie on earth because we are the most
prosperous. the freest and the best
educated
Or, to put 1t differently
Most OF the unhappiness suffered by
the American people Is because of lack
or prosperity. lack OF freedom, lack Of
education.
Truly We are prosperous. To put It
IN sentence
We have but per cent of the ter
ritory OF the earth and but per cent
or Its population. but we have twice
as much life Insurance q, all the rest
or the worlds people anL& If as much
money In our savings banks as all the
other people on earth put together.
And we are well educated.
We have enrolled in our public
schools 1900. 900 students, and there
are 100000 In the colleges and private
schools. which brings the total up to
100000 young people. We spend on
this education $500. 100000 yearly
more than the entire sum spent by five
leading European nations, including
England.
We are a free people.
Making due allowance for ineauali-
ties and for abuses under our system
we enjoy the largest measure OF In
dividual liberty ever known by any
people In the history OF the race.
And
Because of our prosperity, freedom
and education We also enjoy In the
highest degree all intellectual and spir-
itual pleasures. and we are the most
progressive as we are the most humane
OF all people. SO that. whether upon the
/ physical, intellectual or moral plane
The conditions OF living In America
make for happiness more SO than any
where else.
We are free to work and free to love.
And those two conditions-the free
dom to work at congenial tasks for a
fair compensation and the liberty to
love and marry whomsoeyer we
choose regardless OF social or financial
obiigations-these are ideal conditions.
Given such conditions. happiness is
simply an individual problem.
Free to do, free to be!
Why should we be miserable?
IL Is sufficient to say II We are I'M
happy 1t Is largely our fault. 1t Is not
the fault OF our conditions.
