Proper BestowaI Of Charity.

Dickens: There are not few among
the disciples Of charity who require
n their vocation, scarcely less excite
ment than the votaries Of pleasure in
theirs; and hence it Is that diseased
sympathy and compassion are every
day expended on out-of-the way OBJ
iects, when only too many demands
upon the legitimate exercise of the
same virtues in healthy state are
constantly within the sight and hear
ing of the most unobservant person
alive. In short, charity must have IT
romance, as the novelist or the play
wright must have his.

Men the Women Who Forgive Forget

TVERY day we read Of bad men
who neglect and maltreat good
women.
Every day we see patient women
bearing with unworthy men and for
giving them all the sins In the calen=
dar.
Now and then we hear of a good man
who forgives an unworthy woman
Down In Illinois such case has re-
Gently occurred.
The wife became infatuated with am
other man, and the husband, think
ing only Of the best results for his
errlng wife, demanded a promise from
the affinity that he would marry the
woman once she was divorced.
The affinity refsued and made sheer
ing remarks.
Whereupon the husband killed him.
Now, having been freed by the jury,
according to the unWritten law the
husband has asked his wife to return
TO him and go away and begin life
over under new conditions
This man seems to feel the force OF
the words he used on his wedding day.
ITO take this woman for better or for
worse until death do US part"
His love for her must have died q
painful death; but pity has taken its
place, and high sense Of duty.
The man feels responsible for the
future Of the woman he married, and
instead Of letting her 80 the downward
path, while he seeks happiness with
some other better woman. he is stand
ing by her side, ready to guard and
protect her to the end
II Is not possible Tor two people TO

When a man and woman set forth in
life as lovers and establish a marital
kingdom, where the doves Of peace and

self1shness and win must be stationed,
at intervals as caretakers, and the

ers or thieving trespassers who roam
about the domain
Every young couple starts out in
married life with an idea that no temp
tatiOn. no danger, can assau them.
Their romantic love win render them
immune from danger
But as the honeymoon Wanes pro-

dominated their hearts grow into g
calm affection, and many q little slid

On the Man Who ForgaVe
His Wife.

Of love and power-and through the
small doors enter discord danger and
despair. unless the caretalzers are on
guard, ready with gun and sword to
drive them or the domain Of peace and
happiness.
There are Few women so completely
and Accordingly IN love with their hus-
bands that they are insensible TO the
admiration Of other men, and few men
capable OF love so masterful thai
they turn away unmOTed when temDtl-
ton looks them in the eyes.
But there are many women, thank
Cod and some men. who love enough.
and who have sufficient common sense
and good taste to turn admiration into
respect and 10 say to temptation, Get
thee behind me- satan, and so keep
nance free from devastating marau-
ders-
And those men and women 60 down
the western slope OF life together
knowing a happiness and a peace and a
love impossible TO be understood BY
those who have yielded to every pass
Ing Wnim OF the mind, to every call Of
the sense, 70 each magnetic influence.
And only such know real happiness.
After there has been a rresDasser on
the domain after good sense, unselfish-
ness or win has slept at the post Of
duty and let in the pOachers, life can
never again know the old white,
strong, clear light of perfect peace,
But &c can know calmness, freedom
from pain, and gratitude that the de-
vastation was not greater
So this man who has taken back
his wife VIII have many peaceful hours,
many moments OF satisfaction that he
did not send this eErinE woman on a
downward path alone; and so many Wo-
men who have taken back 1aithless ard
unkind husbands enjoy a pale second

And IL all means experience, and IS

Mrs. Lysander John Appleton's noble

the bird as good as new and the velvet
she had never used, and she walked

expanding influence she grew taller
and broader, till passersby on the
street turned TO look at this very large
woman, who from the exalted look on
her face plainly had soul as large as
her body
Mrs. Appleton entered the millinery
store and held out the bird and velvet
with which she hoped 10 reduce her
