And probably the most important thing

not too often or too fast. Those are

will not have trouble finding enough to

A LULLABY.


Lady Moon, o Lady Moon,
Here's a little sleepy grille that must go
to slumber sooni
won't you glide across the window on
your shining silver wings,
won't you spare 'twixt noon and noon
Just one tiny tender minute to this cot
with baby in it,
Though I know you're OH so busy with
hundred million things?
Lady Moon, o Lady Moon,
Let her see the polished buckles on your
cleaning silver Shoon,
Let her touch your diamond rings and
the star dust your wings;
And should you bend above her-ah! but
that would be booni
And kiss her little rosy lips, how kind,
o Lady MoonI
Lady Moon. Lady Moon,
Tell her just one fairy story that you've
gathered as you go
From the pine woods or the snow,
From the gayly lighted cities or the stars
above them Strewn;
There's sleepy little grille that would
like SO much to know
Just one little fairy story, Lady Mooni
Lady Moon. o Lady Moon,
1t Is late; and you're SO busy with so
many trysts to keep,
And our little Wide-eyed babba-it is
time she went to sleepi
Kiss those cheeks that mock Decem-
Der
With their roses picked in June;
Though she's sleepy she'll remember,
She'll remember, Lady Moon!

suffragettes in Rome.


Those militant suffragettes who as
of modern civilization, that their de-
mands for equality with man for the
right to vote and enact laws as be-
fitting the mentality of the sex, are
brand-new ideas, those ladies just
ought to have heard Eugene A. Heck
er read his paper on 'Woman's Rights
gettes'' before the eastern Massa-
chusetts section of the Classical Asso-
citation Of New England at the Museum
Of Fine Arts.
''In dealing with the rights of women
in Rome" said Mr.. Hecker, st is very
necessary to keep the republic and en-
pire distinct. In both these periods the
Romans showed their lofty regard for
women, but there was an infinite diff
ference in the liberties allowed them.
The empire was a despOtism and
suffrage even for men degenerated
gradually from farce to an entire
abolition of the right to vote. Hence
We shall not expect the term Roman
suffra gette to mean one who is look
ing for the franchise include under
the term those women who were ag-
gressive enough to take an active part
in politics or had the courage to stand
before the public and say exactly what
Inoy LlOuSnC OF UNJUST COnO1tiOnS.
'I need hardly remind you that Ro-
man ladies had as much influence in
politics as they have ever exerted i'll
any period of the worlds history. The
climax of women's activity in politics
came under Heliogabalus. This prince
was progressive and enjoys a unique
distinction because no one has ever at
tempted to whitewash his character.
He invited women into the senate.
Overjoyed at their success, the ladies
passed a series of acts regulating the
C stume of women, rights of social pre-
cedence, who should be allowed to kiss
female relatives and in what order,
what kind of carriages might be used
by the several classes, and the like.
After the death of the unconven-
tionaI prince the senate passed a reso-
luton devoting to Hades any person
who should thereafter suggest that wo-
men become senators. However, 10
years later Gallienus used to invite
noble matrons to his cabinet meetings.
There are also great many instances
of other women who pleaded publicly
and won renown.
I'm conclusion let me point out that
the right of a woman to choose her
own destiny and make her own living,
If she SO desired, was seldom question
ed under the empire, and in all pagan
literature you will not, think, find a
single instance of that jeering at the
unmarried woman which is so con-
spicuous and so contemplate in the
literatures of the Christian nations.''-

Inasmuch as the United States SEN
ators, or a sufficient number of them,
had but recently voted down the prop
osition looking towards the election Of
their successors by a direct vote of the
people of the several states, it was
really nothing more than consistency
on their part to allow Mr.. Lorimer of
Illinois to retain his seat. This dis
tinguished gentleman is a specimen Of
the choicest fruit of the system that
provides for the election Of senators by
legislatures.

CoIoniaIs I'm the Lords.

Lord Curzon of Kedleston thinks to
reform the house of lords by adding
colonial members to it. The plan is
not likely to be enthusiastically re-
cefved either in the colonies or in
Great Britain. A peer might or might
not be popular in the colony he would
represent. He would be more than
usually unpopular with the radical
half of the people of Great Britain,
who want to get rid of all peers and
would look upon a colonial member of
the house of lords as less bearable

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR
[From the New York Press. ]

It's safer to bet on most anything
than Judgment.
It's investing when you win and
gambling when you lose.
A woman writes sentiment with the
same capital letters a man does money.
The more a man works late at his
office at night the oftener it would be
easy to find him at the theater.
A woman who can write big checks
can get admiration without herself go
ing to the looking glass for it.

If the state of Kansas thinks that
its paving debt to Topeka should not
be paid because of its long standing,
how did the state satisfy its con-

payment of debts that were incurred
half a century ago? But, as Rudyard
1zipling would say, that is another
story.

that the valuable resources of Alaska
should not be turned over to be exploit

I am in full agreement with the view
that every care. both in administra tion

prevent the corrupt or unfair acquisi-
ton of undue privilege, franchise or

the resources of Alaska can never be-
