WOMAN MADE HOME At KAeUl
Aged Mrs. lineoln's Wanderings

A singular romance is related in

at Kabul. Afghanistan. of Emily, widow
Of Henry Simpson Lincoln.
Some twelve years ago young In
dian MOhammedan studying at the
Royal College Of Surgeons at Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 70 years of age. When the
young Indian finished his studies she
determined to accompany him back to
India, and left the Unitarian church
for Mohammedanism. In the course
of time the Indian obtained q position
in Kabul as secretary to the amir of
Afghanistan, and there Mrs. Lincoln
followed him, Drawing the formidable
journey from Lahore to Kabul by
horse and palanquin, although about
80 years of age.
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged
to live in the retirement observed by
MahOmmedan women, and saw the
young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told Of loneliness beyond ex-
preston and of her belief of ap-
preaching death. Almost Immediately
afterward came a telegram stating
that she had passed away

The Work LADY,

She is picture of housewifely dig
nifty, and the gowns she wears are all
that daintiness demands. They are
tub gowns all the year round. She may
even wear white. If the marshaling of
her forces is the main part of her work.
Work dresses may be of sprigged per-
Gale or Of fresh green chambray, if
delving into the hidden closet and the
cellar corner be the housekeeper's hab-
it. They simply must be trim around
the belt line, whatever else they are;
and, II the straight stiffness of a linen
collar is out of the question, there is
always the surplice neck with it's
turned-back fold of linen.
Dresses for the weekly survey or for
actual homework are always made
four inches from the floor, and the el-
bow sleeve has been a blessing to the
little lady who works.

Bishop Williams of Michigan is re-
ported to have denounced the good old
hymn, Crock of Ages" because he
thought it encouraged an effeminate
and enervating religion. His idea is
that . religion that is passive, that
teaches . man to lean on something, is
sadly everdone, and that it is often
made . substitute for Christian life
and character, instead of for inspira-
ton. There is, no doubt, q good sideto
the bishops view of the case, but we are
sure that Rock ofAges" will be sung
long after the bishop is forgotten.
The absolute surrender of the soul
declared by those vigorous lines should
hardly be called efeminate. 1t is not
good theology to call it so; not even
good science. There are many hymns
written long ago, in which the SUBJ
stantive sense is 80 strong as to hide
the spiritual, but if rightly handled
they will not crowd out the devotional
spirit. The good old sacred hymns,
together with somerecent gospel songs,
constitute the best music since the
morning stars sang together Ohio

HoNoRINC A MURDERER.


The Georgia division Of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy recent
" unveiled . monument Ut Atlanta,
erected to the memory of Captain
Henry Wirz, who had charge of
Andersonville prison during the civil
war where Union prisoners were con-
fined. IF ever devil in human shape
existed, that man was Captain Wirz,
and it is no credit to the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and
those who participated in the unwilling
of the monument to thus honor . man
who was directly responsible for the
death of so many men, and whose
fiendish cruelties and unhuman treat
ment of Federal prisoners has been
denounced, not only by the North,
but by many southern people as we'll.
The honoring Of Wirz recalls one Of
the most exciting scenes that ever
occurred in congress. It was in 1875,
when the democratic congress with
seventy majority over the republicans,
attempted to pension Jefferson Davis,
that the horrors of Andersonville
prison were discussed. james G.
Blaine took the floor and in one Of the
most dramatic speeches ever delivered
in congress denounced the majority
members for attempting to honor the
former president of the Confederate
States, charging that Davis could have
removed Captain Wirz and appointed
a more humane man in his place.
Blaine's fiery address was the COM
mencement of q week Of speech max
ing in which Garfield, on the part Of
the republicans, and Hill, Gorden and
Sunset Cox on the part of the demo-
Gratis, took part. Although the demo-
Gratis had seventy majority, the bill to
pension Jefferson Davis met the fate
it deserved, enough northern demo-
Gratis voting with the republicans to
defeat the measure.
This effort on the part of the
Daughters Of the Confederacy to make
a martyr of Wirz, naturally arouses
protest from northern people.
Wirz was tried by q military COM
mission on the charge of numbering
Union prisoners and executed for his
crimes soon after the war closed.

est man in America. One item among
his holdings is 10000 acres Of timber
land valued at no less than one and a
half billion of dollars, and some say
the property is really worth twice the
sum above mentioned. Yet with all
his immense holdings Barlow believes
"our infant lumber industry" should
be protected and the present tariff on
lumber retained in the Payne bill in
order that he and Weyerhauser, the
real promoters and directors of the
great national lumber trust may con-
tinue to reap the benefits Of the tax
imposed. When man insists that
the lumber industry of the country
requires protective tariff in order to
keep the wolf from the door, he is

A NEW BRANDOF DEMOCRACY.

A NEW BRAND OF DEMOCRACY.
Is the south swinging back to the
protectionist position which it held in
Calhoun's early days? 1t begins to
look that way. The query PROFOUND

ing the campaign of 1908, "What is q

ward now. Thirty-seven democrats,
chiefly from the south, voted against
free lumber in the division on that
item in the house, and their votes de.
feated that amendment. Senator Sim
mons Of North Carolina has made q
very eloquent speech in his chamber
against any reduction in duties on
lumber. The Dingley rate suits him,
except that, as he intimates, if it is to
be altered at all, he wants to have the
rate increased. The North Carolina
senator was one of the persons who
shaped the tariff plank in the Bryan
platform of 1908, and, among other
things, that plank said: 1--WE demand
the immediate repeal of the tariff on
wood pulp, print paper, lumber, tim
Der and logs, and that these articles be
placed upon the free list" Senator
Simmons and a powerful minority of
his southern Democratic associates
reject that declaration so far as regards
lumber, timber, logs and some other
things. On these points they stand
with Senators Aldrich, Hale and the
old guard Of the republicans.-St.

TEMPERANCE.

One of the faults with prohibition is
that its followers are unwilling to ad-
NIT that there is room for a difference
of opinion between the enemies of in
temperance. To them, their way
seems right, and they are unwilling to
admit there may be others more effec.
tive, or what seems more effective to
others. Hence the prohibitionists do
a great deal of unnecessary fighting;
indulge in foolish quarrels with others
as anxious as they for the welfare of
mankind, and who understand clearly
that drink does not promote that vel
fare. Perhaps no other paper of
equal influence devotes as much space
and effort to the cause Of temperance
as Golfers, but it is abused by the
prohibitionists, because it frankly adj
mits that prohibition is q failure in the
larger cities; that it is . failure any
where that it meets with the opposition
of many people. Yet the work Of
Golfers for temperance is tangible and
real. It has set the federal authorities
on the makers of vile gin, the labels Is
we'll as the intoxication of which have
played part in the wave of criminal
assault in the South. 1t has shown the
physiological effect of drink, which is
universally bad, in several instructive
articles. And still the prohibitionists
regard it as an enemy, and a creature
of the liquor interests.
Temperance is q great advantage;
no doubt of that. But it is we'll to
remember that it may be applied to
speech and action, Is we'll Is bever-
ages.-Drake Watson.
