The Panacea of Nature,

Every great and commanding mo-
ment in the annals of the world is the
triumph of some enthusiasm. The vic
tories of the Arabs after Mohammed,
who in a few years from a small and
mean beginning established a larger
empire than that of Rome. is an eX-
ample. But there will dawn ere long
on our politics. on our modes of living,
a nobler morning than that Ara bian
faith in the sentiment of love.
This is the one remedy for all Ills.
the panacea of nature. We must be
lovers. and at once the impossible be-
comes possible. Our age and history
for these thousand years have not been
the history of kindness. but of selfish
ness. Our distruSt is very expensive.
The money We spend for courts and
prisons is very i'll laid cut. We make
by diStrust the thief and burglar and
incendiary. and by our court and Jail
we keep him So. An acceptance Of the
sentiment of love throughout Christen-
dom for q season would bring the felon
and the outcast to our side in tears,
with the devotion Of his faculties to
our service.-EmerSon

shrewd Peter the Great.

Peter the Great adopted rather a
novel means to convince his subjects
that they should change their clothes
of western Europe. Believing. as is
we'll known historically. that the flu
ture greatness of Russia depended up
on the facility with which it was made
to assimilate all that was best in
other countries. he had succeeded in
introducing some important innova-
lions into the half civilized region
over which he held sway. At length
he had patterns of cloth hung up at
the gates of the towns. and those who
did not conform to the fashions thus
set were locked publicly. albeit fli.'

good natured with his people. They.

and used the argument that what was
good enough for their forefathers was
good enough for them.

ter. In 1903 he gave a dinner at Mos

not give them any wine, because their
forefathers never drank it. When

Here, now, let us do some planning.

The talk between the two was strict

Ito hand within a week. John Dale
was found by his employer in the barn
lust as he had swung off in a noosed
rope to commit suicide.
''You tarnaI idiot, but what did you

he had cut down and revived the vic
tim.
John Dale shed tears and said his
life was a burden to him, and of
course the Widow Harper heard of
1.-THE affair and wondered over it. The

and that was another cause for won

Ten days after his first attempt the
hired man made another. He was

wife that caught him this time, and

lshe looked for him in vain.
Two weeks passed this time, and
then came the third attempt at suicide.

CAPITAL LIFE HARD.
Wives of President and Cabinet
Officers Kept Busy.
Social Duties of Women in Washing
ton Are Onerous-Scmetimes
They Break Down Under the
Severe Strain.

Washington Women who aspire to
have their husbands become presi-
dents of the United States or vice
presidents, or members of the presi-
dents cabinet, would do well to con
slider the social responsibilities which
would fall to them, as well as to pre-
pare themselves to give up their hus-
bands to the public service. The life
ly is public in itself. There are heavy
demands on their time for social du-
ties which are to many distasteful.
Nevertheless, these duties cannot be
thrust aside unless by serious illness.
One winters social campaign in
Washington has wrecked more than
one woman's nerves.
1t is no secret that Mrs. Charles w.
Fairbanks, wife of the former vice
president, broke down under the pres
sure of her social position.
Still more recently, Mrs. William H.
Taft, the wife of the president, passed
through a serious illness, which, while
not due to winters social campaign
in the White House, is believed to be
the consequence of the long strain
she endured during her husbands
campaign for the presidency.
One is inevitably struck in Wash
ington with the fact that the social
duties of the wife of the vice-presi-
dent practically parallel the official
duties of her husband. The Office of
vice-president has come to be held by
the American people as sort of fifth
wheel. for use only in case of emer-
gency. Nevertheless, the vice-presi-
dent presides daily over the sessions
of the senate and has his time as
fully occupied as the president him
self. The vice-president, if he is a
congenial companion for the president,
becomes a sort of an assistant to
him. In the Taft administration the
relationship between President Taft
and Vice-President James S. Sherman
is closer than N recent administra-
tons.
Aside from appearing at all such
social affairs, none of which is ever
held at the home of the vice-presi-

quently entertain informally at the
dinner table, and once each social sea-
son give a reception to the members
of the senate, which is one of the
most pleasant events of the entire
winter. Contrary to the White House
receptions, refreshments are served to
all invited guests.
The wife of the secretary of state
assumes her official social duties for
mally on New Years day. She is ex-
pected to participate in the presidents
reception at the White House from IL
to 1880 a. M, when she departs for
her home to receive the diplomatic
corps at breakfast at noon Invita-
tons to the diplomatic breakfast are
confined to the members of the corps
and their families, the assistant secre-
taries of state, the chief clerk and
chiefs of bureaus of the department of
state and their wives, If they are mar
ried.
When all are assembled the secre-
tary of state gives his arm to the wife
Of the dean of the corps and leads the
way to The breakfast room They are
followed by the other guests, no
further attention being paid to the or
der of precedence, except that the
wife of the secretary of state and the
dean Of the corps are the last to enter
the breakfast room. If the secretary
of state occupies a house too small
to seat large party of guests In the
dining room the unwrltten code pro
vides that small tables shall be placed
in convenient places about the rooms
for serving refreshments from q
buffet 1t is also required by the code
that only such refreshments as can be
quickly served, such as creamed oys-
tiers, croQuettes. salads, hot bouillons,
coffee, ices, cakes and bon-bons-in
short, such dainties as can be eaten
without the aid of a knife-shall be
served. Champagne is usually the
only wine served.
At two o'clock on New Years day
the wife Of the secretary of state is
expected to hold a public reception
for three hours and all other cabinet
women are expected to do the same.

The daintiest apron that could be

The apron shape is a small oval,

, The ruffle may be of fine lace, either

Quite as effective and cheaper is a

to match embroidery. Sometimes this
can be a fine brier stitching or con-
tinuous back stitch.
On the body of the apron is the main
decoration. Four rows of horizontal

FOR LOVE OF A WIDOW
Johns Attempt at Suicide Re-
Warded With Sensible Advice.
BY DONALD ALLEN.

copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary
Press.I
1t was a new sensation for John
Dale, farmers hired man. to wake up
'One morning and find himself in love
with the Widow Harper, who owned
the next farm on the west. He had
known her for a year, but love had
come creeping along so insidiously that
it gave him a shock when he came tc
Realize it.
The Widow Harper owned her farm;
John Dale was simply hired man at
$50 a month The Widow Harper
could discuss Shakespeare; John Dale
had simply heard that Columbus dis
covered America. The Widow Harper
quoted poetry; John Dale couldn't even
repeat 2 Mother Goose rhyme. On ac-
count of these things and many others
poor John Dale felt that the widow
was as far above him as the clouds
above the cOrnfield. Love had come,
but it was a hopeless love. She was
not for him. When he stroIled over to
her house she might welcome him with
a smile and repeat lines from Byron
or Milton as they sat in the cleaning,
but in the end she would marry a sew
ing machine agent. and he must suffer
with broken heart.
For a week the farmers hired man
kept his hopes and fears to himself.
Then he could stand it no longer, and
ne made a confidant of lightning rod
man who came along and stayed over
might. After supper the stranger was
taken out behind the straw stack and
told all. He listened without smiling
once. He listened to the very end, and
then he sighed and shook his head in a
solemn way and replied:
John. if you were talking about a
girl it would be different. but she's a
widow, you see. a widow is a curious
creature. No man just knows how to
handle her. She may fall into the arms
of tin peddler, or she may tell mil
1ionaire to take his hat and CO."
'HThen there's no hope for me?"
Dlaintively asked the hired man.

uttered his last word and was gritting

it is almost surprising to see the
