The young lady sighed deeply and
vas almost affected to tears.
'"Harold," she said, declares that
If | don't marry film he will end his
life, and l am afraid he will"
She stifed a sob, then continued:
"And Randolph declares that if
don't marry him he will 60 into pol

and then he says | shall see what

Overcome by emotion, she buried
her face in her hands, not knowing
whether to save a life or TO spare

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
scotsmen Objected to Mixture Of Good
Whisky and Religious Con.
versation.

Owen Seaman. editor OF Punch. was
the principal guest at dinner Of the
London Authors club recently. which
was followed by discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with
story deprecating the spelling Of .
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in tho
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
OF probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on tho pane; otherwise 81
lence reigned.
This was broken by one OF the
scotsmen trying to. locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy. I'm thinking II yon fly is .
birdie or O beastie."
The other replied: Man. don't spoil
good whisky with religious conversa-
tion."

The Troubles of the Liberals.

The London dispatches of Thurs day night indicate that the troubles of the government, predicted before the elections were over. have already begun. The balance of power" has already dictated its terms. or rather their terms. for the balance of power is dual The nationalists, through MT. Redmond. demand the privilege of taking a crack" at the lords before taking up the budget. The labor members of the house of commons frankly declare that they do not consider themselves bound to Premier Asquith, except so far as he carries out their views; and this. for various reasons, he cannot do The nationalists are not equally independent. perhaps: his promise to bring in home rule bill has put them under certain obliga- tions to him; but this fact also adds to his troubles. since nothing is more assured than the rejection of such a bill by the lords. while there are lib- erals in the commons who would be inclined to vote against it. Further more. the general feeling in Ireland is not in favor of the budget: Mir
 Redmond has lost some dozen fol- lowers to MT. O'Brien on account of this feeling. and these may fairly be counted against the government. It is even suggested that the loyalty of the whole Irish party to the liberals is not beyond suspicion. and that the unionists could win it over by agree ing to pass bills widening the scope of local self government though short of home rule. Such maneuver may not yet be within the domain of practical politics: but it cannot be called impossible. After all. the union- ists have done much for Ireland in an

O. Mother My-Love. if you'll give me your hand, And go where ask you to wander. will lead you away to beautiful land, The drcamland that's waiting out wonder;
 out there. Where moonlight and starlight are streaming. And the flowers and the birds are filling the air With the fragrance and music of dreaming. There'n be no little tired-out boy to undress. No questions or cares to perplex you; There'n be no little bruises. or bumps to caress, Nor patching of stockings to vex you: For I'll rock you away on a silver dew stream And sing you to sleep when you're weary, And no one shall know of our beau tiful dream But you and your own little deaEie. And when I am tired I'll nestle my head In the bosom that's soothed me so often. And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my stead song which our drcamland shall soften. So. Mother-My-LOve let me take your dear hand, And away through the starlight we'll wander. Away through the mist to the beau tiful land. The dreamland that's waiting out wonder.

economic way during their last two terms of office, and the Irish problem is more economic than political.
 It is an interesting situation, from whatever point of view Did it exist in some countries it might be called an impossible situation. But the British care little for theories of gov ernment; they judge by the practical results. and they have often achieved these results in defiance of all logic.
 The difficulties of MT. Asquith's position are many. That he will force a veto bill upon the house of lords at the outset seems hardly credible. A more natural step would be to pass the budget. The government may fairly contend that, if the voters have shown no great enthusiasm for that piece of legislation. they at least have not rejected it in toto. But that there is such widespread antagonism to the house of lords itself as to justify radical measures of reform is more doubtful proposition. Besides. how is one house to change the consti tuition without the others consent?
 But the manifesto of MT. Redmond if carried into effect. makes the bud get impossible. It is also apparently impossible that the premier will yield so that the liberal government will shortly find itself supported by a mi nority on the principal question of the budget. if indeed it would not on the question of curtailing the power of the lords.

SHE'S NEVER OFF THE PEDESTAL
The American Woman Wouldn't Know
 How Not to Be Assertive.

The reason that the American wo- man unflaggingly keeps up her amuse-
 ments independent of man lies in hei energy and her restlessness. In tho l first place. she realizes quite clearly
 that her husband will not participate in the various pursuits which take uI her daytime hours.
 What is she to do? She is extreme I Iy systematic and executive; her | household affairs are quickly adminis-
 tered. How, then, is she to occupy her time? She cannot possibly spend morning in the flower garden snip ping dead blossoms from their stems and finding excitement in turning in- numerable leaves in the quest for a possible slug. after the manner of her English sisters.
 Neither can she put in her time manufacturing wonderful blouses and dainty neckwcar and lingerie from carefully preserved and exquisitely mended bits of lace as does the French woman. Nor can she occupy herself brewing, baking. knitting and alarming in imitation of the German hausfrau.
 The climate. or perhaps her own temperament, drives her to a display of ceaseless activity; and. as she Is intensely practical. she wishes to see some tangible and definite result She is enormously occupied with the ma chinery of life, and she wants the wheels to whiz as fast as possible. have seen a woman having her hair manicured at the same time, while her secretary read aloud the cream of vari- ous literary journals for her employers edification.
 In consequence. she lacks greatly in d certain wistful charm of hesitation, a delicate and courteous deference. She is too assured. She stands out with no softening and mysterious shadows. Just as she will wear her clothes bet ter when she forgets that she wears them better than any woman in the world. SD she will be infinitely more delightful when her beloved culture" becomes some integral part of her soul and not banner to Haunt on her outer walls.
 She is, this American woman, the most self-centered creature on the face of the earth and she would not know how not to be assertive. Ii IS a matter of religion with her never to get off the pedestal. and the we'll trained American man dutifully burns incense before her. She never doubts that her proper place is the pedestal, and she takes it for granted that you are interested solely in herself.-Mrs. Wilson Woodrow in the March Define ator.

Cairo Partially Redeemed.

fusillade of bullets at Cairo, H.. on Thursday night, corrected in part the negligence or spinelessness of the court of that Jurisdiction which was unable to punish the rioters who par ticipated in a lynching there some months ago. The attitude of the next grand jury toward the affair was such as to encourage rather than to pre- vent a recurrence of it.
 In the former case the mob was in- cited by a crime so outrageous that it might have been offered as an ex- cuse for the summary vengeance taken upon one of the perpetrators of the crime But there are degrees of orderliness. even in lynchings In that first Cairo lynching there was no pretense of order. The town ran amuck
 Usually after an incident of this kind there is pretense of re- gret that the people gave way to an
 
 case there was no such pretense Cairo gloried in what it had done The newspapers and ordinarily law abiding citizens who were not mem bers of the mob palliated and even defended its outrage upon the law.
 There was in the court proceedings the usual failure of witnesses to identify" any of the members of the mob and it was publicly stated that it would have been a waste of time and public money to indict them. as no jury would be found to convict them.
 Thus the mob was encouraged to re- peat the outrage, this time without such a moving provOcation. It sought lives of two negro boys who had the lives of two negro boys who had committed series of petty crimes.
 The sheriff rose to the occasion. The mob gave way before a blast of bullets and the ring leader lay for hOulS ugHtS OI ltle courthouse steps in zero temperature because the sheriff would not permit his 200 cowardly companions to remove him The sheriff had evidently determined that the old question of doubtful identity should not arise in this ase. Here was body of men who had expected to take two defenseless boys from a weak-kneed sheriff Now they were unable to take their own suffering. dying leader to a place of comfort. Of such stuff are mobs ever made
 The resolute action of the sheriff may not have permanently quelled the mob spirit in Cairo, but he has shown Cairo mobs that prisoners in the Cairo jail are secure
 In this he is d more valuable in- stitution to Cairo than it's courts. it's grand juries. it's newspapers and the great body of it's ."law-abiding" citi- zens.
 Cairo has been redeemed, so far as one man could redeem it.
