ago by President Taft to study the
tariff problem, was born in Saratoga,
N. r., Feb. II, 1870. He was educated
at Glens Falls Academy and Dartmouth
college, being graduated from the lat
ter with honors in 1890. For several
years following he was engaged in

connection he became well acquainted
with public men, and In 1895 was made
executive clerk of the Massachusetts
state republican committee, serving in
this capacity for eight years. In 1905
he was made assistant secretary of the
treasury. and later was given charge
of the customs business of the country.
In 1907 he was appointed chairman of
a commission to go abroad and arrange
customs matters between the United

Heart toHeart
Talks.
A ISLANDER ON WOMAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Listen to this:
The American woman will leave q
three rnonths-old child to the. tender
mercies of an ignorant maid. and.
dressed according to the dictates Of
this higher civilizs ton. so she suffers
every time she draws a long breath.
eranian pup
Who wrote that?
Some English newspaper man7
Or is 1t passage from the new book
Of some foreign tourist who spent two
weeks in New York city and Boston
studying the Americans?
Strange to say. the excerpt is from
a New York newspaper.
Mind you. the writer does not say
some American women" nor 'the wo-
men of the Four Hundred" leaving
the Inference that his Characterization
applies to the average American wo-
man.
Which is patent SANDER.
The average woman of this country
does not neglect nor desert her child
in order to parade with pup.
On the contrary
The average American wife and
mother not only yearns to have chill
dren of her own. but her devotion to
her flesh and blood is limited only by
her physical strength and heart power.
The American woman lavishes love
on her offspring and stints and sacri-
fees herself for the sake of her little
ones as much as any woman or any
N alton IN tho rfh
OF course we have freak women.
And in many communities there are
American women who. through mis-
taken devotion to public service or de-
sire for society. somewhat neglect their
children for attendance upon women'S
clubs or lodges or what not. But
Think of it.
Does the description printed above
fit your wife or mother or sister or
daughter, Mr.. Man? Or does the de-
scription fit the wife or mother or
daughter or sister of any man in your
immediate neighborhood?
The average American woman of the
average community is the salt of the
earth. No woman on this earthly foot
stool makes better mother.
Your mother and mine-God bless
them.-need no vindfcation from the
Islander of provincial and unpatriotic
New York writer who does not know
what he Is talking about
But 1t stirs ones righteous blood to
read this reflection on the beautiful
name Of the American woman.

II was quite young" the old COM
modore began"when l saw my phan-
| tom ship, a plain brig. / had enlist
| ed as midshipman on board the des-
patch corvette Palimure, cruising in
the West Indies. Although she was
called corvette, Palimure had no
mizzen mast and was therefore really
brig.
"Of the seven officers on board
the quartermaster was the most
picturesque. He was the most in
veterate searcher of naval archieves
have ever met during all the years
have spent on the briny. His first
care whenever he boarded vessel was
to put in order what he called the
family papers of his Office, that is ito
say, to look up the history of the YES
sci and of all other vessels who had
previously sailed under the same name.
Our Palimure had among it's ances-
tors famous vessel, the brig Pali-
mure, which i'm 1903 had in these same
West Indies waters defended her
colors until her powder gave up against
the thirty guns of the British frlgatc
Circe.
"The page of our naval history which
the unfortunate battle of Trafalgar
has ovcrshadowed, our quartermas-
ter had entered i'm his own hand and
on elegant sheets of finest vcllum In
the hope, l suppose, that sooner or
later they would bring him glory and
honor.
"Our Pallmure was bound from De
sirade for Marie Halande during the

waters that our famous ancestor had
fought so calamity at the same time
of the year By n strange colncident
which our quartermaster did not fail
to remind us of, our commander had
contracted n bad attack of dysentery
just like the heroic Captain Peance OF
the old Palimure.
"On the. thlrty-first day OF the
month, the anniversary of the fight
with the Circe, the quartermaster at
o'clock In the afternoon. went up on
the bridge to ask our exact location
and was greatly agitated when told
where we were.
81 shall now endeavor to tell the
facts just as l remember them and
as they should have been entered In
the ships logbook, if
AT 1 o'clock in the afternoon tho
Palimure was sailing slowly with all
sails set for gentle breeze from
northeast. The sea is bathed In light,
the swell almost impercepuble.
"At o'clock the lookout reported a
vessel in sight and soon "a gray hull
with two tall masts became visible
on our port side. BY common optical
