A ROSE IN THE MUD OF THE GUTTER rs A
SAD SIGHT.

We printed with very great pleas
ure what DIR. Parkhurst wrote about
women smoking. Everything that
he said was true, and he covered the
ground we'll.
Many foolish men and some foolish
women forever ask, eff it is right for
a man to smoke, why isn't it right
for a woman to smoker"
1t isn't right because it isn't right.
DIR. Parkhurst says very truly, "the
whittier sheet of paper, the more it
suffers by being stained"
A woman is whittier and better in
every way than man, and she ought
to keep herself better.
A woman compared 10 a man is like
a rose compared to turnip. If you
see a turnip in the mud you say,
"Well, that's about the right place
for turnip," but to see rose in the
same mud is shocking.
You would feel really sorry for a
foolish rose that should say, "If the
turnip can be in the mud, why
shouldn't 1 be in the mud"
Luckily this question of women
smoking isn't very serious. The best
women will never smoke, although
many women will and do. Most of
the good ones, we believe, will get
over it.
The habit is bad for the health, it
is not clean, it is not respectful to the
memory of mothers and fathers that
disapproved of women smoking. 1t
will soon die out.
Luckily, nature in her wisdom
f & h is against women smoking.
Smoking makes women's noses red,
it makes hair grow on the upper lip,
it makes their eyes dull and their skin
yellow, and hatteus their chests.
Smoking by women is crime
against the human race, because the
real task of the women is the manu-
facture of the next generation. No
woman has a right to give to her
children blood poisoned by nicotine,
and nerves weakened by it.
The influence Of women working
silently has practically stopped in
America the vile habit of chewing to-
bacco. 1t is "a disgrace to men that
they do not use their influence and
choke off now the vile and growing
habit of smoking by women. They
could do it very easily.
All you need do, if you know
woman that smokes, is to tell her that
her nose is red, her eyes dull, her
face getting yellow, her talk uninter-
esting, and her body all out of shape.
That will stop her, or at least dis
courage her and make her think.
Sometimes it is necessary to treat
women as they treat men-as though
they were children.-We7V York EOen-
ing Journal.

spector found it an easy matter to
climb out of the hole by means of the
vine aud its branches. And when he
stood by the side of Polly on the trail

reigned between Ben and the girl.

For "THE UNION"
THE DAYS ACCOUNTING.
BY MILTON HnArHcorE.

Sweet little boy with curly hair,
Come climb upon my knee,
While l rest in the easy chair,
Your heart is filled with glee;
Tell me what you've did today,
While I've been out and far away.
He twines his fingers into my beard,
And FUCKERS his dimpled chin,
He isn't the least little bit afraid
And breaks out with a grin.
"Oh, I've been busy at play today,
While you've been out and far away"
But tell me what you did today,
That caused you so much fun;
Did you make figures of dampened clay,
Or did you rOmp and rum
"0h, I've had jolly fun today,
While you've been out and far away.
"I pulled the tail of the tabby cat
And Uttered the kitchen floor,
Then punched hole through my Sunday hat,
And broke the lock on the door.
/ have been busy all the day,
While you've been out and far away.
81 shied rock at prowling cat,
Perched up high on the rail,
In rusty trap caught an old rat,
And pinched off half his tail;
I've had such jolly. fun today,
While you've been out and far away.
III stood on my head on the kitchen floor,
A trick l do with grace,
But worst of all with my foot, struck poor
Sweet sister in the face,
And then tried her tears to stay.
While you were out and far away
But have you done nothing good today,
Nothing to make you proud,
Has all been fun and romping play?
He looked to the floor and bowed.
"Yes, I've done some good today,
While you've been out and far away.
II gave beggar woman cent,
To relieve her pressing wants,
And at the noontide hour went,
Gave away my last years pants;
While you've been out and far away.
His curly head nestled up to my side,
And close to my beating heart,
And looked down in his face with pride,
While / saw his teardrops start.
Ever try to do some good each day,
When am out and far away.

temptation to crafty an instinct by

temptation to crafty an instinct by
not picking it up.
This, no doubt, is an extreme in
stance, but in a lesser degree we do
not think that the feeling is uncom-
mon. About smaller coins have not
many of US felt it? Is there not more
than one person among our readers
who, having dropped some pencein
railway train, has groped after them
solely for fear be should appear os-
tentatious, or should pain some poor
person, or set bad example to some
boy, and who, had he been alone,
would have experienced slight sense
of pleasure in leaving them where they
were? Or, to take a still smaller in
stance, have not many of us walked
through town after being for some
while in the country, and been sudden
ly astonished, and rather ashamed, to
find ourselves gazing into shop win
dows, our whole minds set upon buy
ing something-not longing for the
beautiful things we could not afford,
not seeking any definite article what
ever, but simply desiring to exchange
the loose money in our pockets for
something else; in fact,
actually bent upon experiencing the
pleasure of waste? The most deter
mined self-ridicule is impotent to pre-
vent the constant recurrence of this
curious instinct in those in whom it
is inherent. What is the origin of
this feeling? Is the mind of the man
who is thus tempted to waste throw
ing back to some spendthrift great
grandfather Possibly: but we
think the source of the feeling is fur
ther to seek. There is something of
the savage in us all. In the men and
women who feel strongly this tempta-
tion to waste money the connection
between coin and commodities is not
very close. With their brain they
know the worth of money; in abstract
questions Of finance they often show
astonishingly good sense, and in large
sums they may even be somewhat
close but in some subconscious re-
gion of their minds they are not yet
convinced of the representative char
acter of dirty bits of metal. They
please that simpler self when they re-
fuse to take the slightest trouble to
recover a missing shilling, and they
feel secret qualification, rising to the
level of conscious sensation of pleas

silver or copper for any less unattrac-
tive ect.-BaItiuo1e AmeYIcan.
