HAVE received a very illiterate
and indignant letter from man
who says he is violently opposed
to "woman's suffridge." because it
makes him mad clear through to think
of A woman ever holding a good pay
ing office. when there are so many
men office seekers. Then my cores
pondent asks:
do you ever think Of the children
that are starving because you have got
a Job that some man ought to have2
Well no. Mr.. Man. I cannot truly
say that I've ever thought of myself as
one who snatches the bread out of lit
tie children's mouths: but 1 do think
sometimes-with thankfulness that /
am able TO do it-of several people
into whose mouths I do put bread, and
even occasionally little cake.
Now. in my turn. I want to ask
question of this man. and all others
who grow furious at the thought OF
woman being able to draw down Sc
spectacle pay envelope, and this -
what I want to know:
''On your honor. did you ever know
single. solitary working woman who
wasn't helping somebody else with
what she earned? Did you ever know
any working woman who had fam
lily who wasn't helping to support 1t?
The Help of the Hopeless.
I never have known of single case
OF a woman who was a money Garner
who did not give with both hands to
those who were dependent upon her.
Always there are a lot of helpless
hands clutching at the working wo-
mans petticoats, and she never shakes
them off: she divides with them to the
last penny.
Because women are more sympathet-
ic. more tender hearted: because they
have felt the sting of want and poverty
more than a man does. they are much
quicker TO answer the calls for. money

Ella Wheeler Wilcox ON Of THE sneR VANITY

In visiting tropical countries 1t mas
always seemed to me that the natives
who dwell there always miss a great
joy in having an eternal summer.
There are no emotions sweeter than
those which are produced by the sud
den dawning of the spring sky and
tree, and in hearing the first sounds
Of the returned birds.
To gaze always upon summer skies.
summer foliage and to hear always the
songs of birds can never repay for
: the loss Of that peculiar happiness
which comes in early spring days.
An so the heart that has never
known anything but pleasurable SEN
sations must lack the keen joys which
come to those who have experienced
lack and loss Of blessings and to whom
they are restored-as life always re-
stores in some measure that which it
takes from US.
But the real value of sorrow and
trial lies in the Strengthening of cour-
age. the increase of faith, the growth
of character and the development or
the higher attributes of the mind.
Unless we are more sympathetic,
more tolerant, more patient and kind
er after each trouble. we have missed
a great opportunity which life has of
fered US. and we must suffer again
and again until we recognize the hand
of Love beneath the glove Of Pain
until we experience the
Resurrection.

Now, what's to be done?" he asked.
'I don't know, Charlie. declared the
skipper, miserably; she's come down
this afternoon to go with me to 'elp

The mate whistled dOlorously.

"One thing, she's got no letters from

been careful of writing letters since

He stopped in horror, for footsteps
were approaching the cabin door.

A knock came at the door. but both

'I'Il go up and see the missus, now"
said the cook, "and put her up to
what she's got to do" He smiled in
satisfied manner. It'll be all right if
she pulls it off"
The cook busted himself in setting
the tea things in readiness for the ex-
pected call. Then the skipper, the
mate, and the cooks wife took their
seats at the cabin table, and waited
The cook himself loitered on dock as

began to pour out tea. The mate
helped himself to a slice of bread and
butter, and munched unconcernedly
The skipper, a prey to nervous excite

phrases.
They heard the visitor intervie wing

He faItered to a full stop. and gazed
at the menacing figure which stood
framed in the cabin doorway.
Just then the cook entered. What
time tomorrow night am I TO leave,
sir" he asked humbly. You see I've
got TO pack my little box"
You don't mean to say Walters

wife, in tones of establishment, turning
to the skipper.
She glanced at the skipper. and then
glanced at Miss Napp, who was stand

the skipper vaguely. We'll see about
it afterwards"

very fond of Walter, and I don't want
him to lose his place. You must take
him back-just to oblige me-
"All right promised the skipper
easily. anxious only to get the more
important crisis over.

said. 'You deal kindly with Walter

wife to the trapped skipper. IF you

Miss Napp impatiently.
The skipper started and pushed pen
and paper over to the cooks wife.
''All right" he said briefly.
And now said that lady, turning
hussy. What do you mean by a pick

And so the cook retained his berth
on the Rosebud. Only once did the
skipper allude to his treachery in Do

q R. SAMUEL WAPSHOTT, owner
MI and skipper Of that dingy
old tub, the Rosebud, walked
heatedly away from the door Of the
cooks galley; then he paused and re-
turned swiftly to add few more re-
marks which has just occurred to him,
before returning to the mate.

He don't cook bad things said the
mate.

skipper.
The mate after a suspicious glance
at the cook, went on with his needle
work. The skipper, seating himself

ulently.
For some minutes the silence re-
NAMED unbroken, save for the noise Of
the cooks exertions. Then an exclama-
ton from the skipper caused the mate
to look up.

the female figure approaching along
the wharf towards the Rosebud. She s

The mate, catching sight of the cap

"Oh, amt hep" she replied. why,
he told me to be sure and call this

The mate involuntarily glanced at
the skipper, who was shaking his head
vigorously.

mate.

the lady.
She stepped from the wharf, and
after complicated struggle with the
rigging, arrived on the deck of the
Rosebud. The skipper disappeared en-
tirely from view.
The cook put down his saucepans in

mate stood looking rather blankly at
the visitor.

She seated herself on the mates va

THERE is a certain universal
vanity in all human beings
- the vanity of SORROW


the vanity of sorrow.
Ask any one Of your acquaintance
If he has had trouble in life, and,
almost to a man, the reply Will be to
the effect that his sorrows and trials
have been unusual; that he has had
his share; which will mean that he
feels he has more than his share.
In country places. in large cities,
in villages, 1t is the same.
1t seems to be a part of human
consciousness-this belief that each
one Of US has been chosen for spe-
cia1 dispensation of sorrow.
Only a small percentage of human
beings place the true estimate on the
value Of trouble, or know that 1t has
its place in life, as machinery, in the
spiritual gymnasium, and that by
our ability to use it we may develop
characterize purpose. aim and end
of existence.
Only one individual do I recall
having met, in all my experience. who
made no claim of SORROW.
She Never Knew Sorrow.
1t was a woman who had counted
at least four decades on the dial OF
life; and she told me she had never
known a disappointment or a sorrow;
since her birth she had INDUCED all
her wishes; she had never lost a near

a grief worthy of the name.
A shallow woman she seemed to me
as I studied her-one who enjoyed her
morning coffee and her dinner at
night; who was pleased with a new
gown and brooch, and who felt no
strong affections and was incapable Of
deep emotion. Perhaps she had passed
through experiences which might have
meant sorrow to others without feel
ing them, and, having missed sorrow.
so. too, she must have missed great
joy.
Surely she was no parsonage TO
hold as an ideal; and those who be-
lieve they could have attained large
successes or great heights, if they
had not known sorrow, would have
found in her refutation of their the
cries.
develop.
He must know the strong emotions
of life: he must use his mental quail
tiles, in thinking ways out Of trouble;
he must be anxious at times in order
to learn patience; he must pass through
the winter of sorrow in order to enjoy
the springtime Of joy.
