were Joined by several hundred more. to hear
the annual address of Lr Edwin A Alderman.
president of the University of Virginia.
No more impressive demonstration OF the
value of the movement could have been devised
and in the suggestions inspired by the as

these men are coming constantly under the
Influence OF high ideals and noble inspirations
and the effects upon their individual lives as
sumo a larger value when views these in

Tie Mother OF the Man
BY Hall Caine.

When the Lord OF the creation gave the "o"-
to the man. ,,
of Ill began
Then He knew what OF her cohouc' "he'hei IL"
nocent trail
That the female of the species would De
scapegoat to the male.
When He banished them from Eden for the
sin that each had wrought
And the fla ming sword OF vengeance scared tHe
fate that both had sought
Then He knew throughout the ages long aS
man should tell the tale,
That the female of the speeis would be tempt
to the male.
When He cast His children from Him and by
primal earthly vow, ,
Doomed their seed to eat their hfehread IN
the sweet of blood and brow.
Then He knew where paths were reddest down
the line of labors trail
There the female OF the species would pc
slavemate to the male.
When He lowered the man with passions when
He formed him from the dust,
With its wilderness of instincts with its lava
stream OF lust
Then He knew that in the whirlWtnd or ms
mandhood's wasteful gale
Still the female OF the species would be sub
ject to the male.
When He ordered that the woman both as
mother and wife.
Should obey her law Of being as the vehicle OF
lfe
Then He suffered i, to happen lest the genera
lions fail.
That the female OF the species might be dead
lier' than the male.
But when the Lord of the creation gave the
to the man.
In that blest but brief existence ere the rule
Of i'll began
Then He wiiled 1t that If sharing in mans fault
and in his fate,
She should therefore be his equal and the
partner in his state.
Not to govern or cajole him, to court or
speak him smooth.
Not to snare to enslavee him. but to sheer.

Not his temptress, not his slavemate. not his

But his helpmeet and his angel by the right
i OF Gods own law.
If He cursed the with labor the human
lots alloy.
He provided that for his work should
be his 10Y
If he lowered with passions, which the
grosser instincts move.
He reserved it to the woman TO upft his lust
to love.
If He ordered that the mother for the children
Should dare her death by travail and fight till
i crack of doom,
He ordained that by that impulse, still the
purest and the best
She should gather all that suffer in her pity
TO her breast
Nurturing, nursing. guarding guiding, giving
strength with heart ana hand:
Paying toll in pangs to nature, which no man
may understand:
Dauntess from the God, who made her with
out fear to draw her breath,
Saviour OF the weak and helpless, FIRST at birth
and last at death.
Since-ths Lord creating woman--she became
| living soul
Hers has been the old earth's burthen ago on
age from pole to pole.
Hers the conflict hers the conquest, hers the
flag of life unfurled:
Hers the sorrow, hers the suffering, hers the
love that moves the world.
Therefore why should man be migrate when he
chooses to confer,
Welcome every fool and coward, only close the
door or her?
Room stirs within your councils, bare
your foreheads II you can,
For behold without your portal stands 'the
mother OF the man.

IT'S sweet to dream OF Sunset Isle
And watch the sun dip low
Into a sea of gold. erstwhiie.
As shadows eastward grow
The mellow light Of afternoon
Upon this island falls,
While all the year one balmy June
The aged disenthrals.
On Sunset Isle the purple hiIls
O'erlook the valleys rare.
And sweet1y fragrance ever nlls
The softly pulsing afr.
There gently beats the oceans swell
Upon the sloping shore.
And casts a-land the pearl and shell
From out the hounteeus store.
Oh let me sail, as I grow old.
And sweetly dream, erstwhile,
OF all the beauties. yet untold
OF fairest Sunset Isle!

shoot at the riders as they pass a,
terrific speed. From every tent
there would be at last one shot
fired and from some tents several
shots would be fired at the at
tacklng party at close range, and
with numerous reports of the
guns, and the smoke produced
thereby; with the clatter of the
horses, the yelling and war-hoops
Of the participants on both sides,
and the crying and mourning of
women, the scene altogether pro-
duces in the mind of the specta-
tors a real conflict of force and
arms, exciting and dangerous in
the extreme.
notwithstanding all the excite
ment and joy, the chance for dis

ity in horseback riding, art of
dressing and decorating ones
self, satisfaction of the partici-
pant in showing to the public his
paraphernalia of warfare, and tn,
grand opportunity the rider in
displaying the handiwork of his
sister, mother, wife, there comes
withal unspeakable sorrow and
sadness on the part of the women
who have lost their dearest, rela-
tives by death-perhaps father
husband or son has just died and
who if living would have partici-
pated in the battle.
Indeed, the "sham battle" as
enacted on the occasion of
Fourth of July, is to the Indian
women, and to some men, one Of
the saddest scenes that can be
produced, as the memory of the
dead is always recalled.
