The Character of HAPPY Life.

How happy is he born or taught
That serveth not another's VIII,
Whose arraor is his honest thought
And simple truth his utmost skill;
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for death,
United unto the world by care
OF public fame or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth raise
Nor vice; hath ever understood
How deepest wounds are given by praise
Nor rules of state. but rules of good:
Who hath his life from rInaors freed;
Whose conscience is his strong retreat;
Whose state can neither aiatterers feed
Nor ruin make oppressors great;
Who God doth late ard early pray
More OF his grace than gifts 10 lena
And entertains the harmless day
With = religious book or friend!
This man is freed from servile bonds
OF hope to raise fear To fail,
Lord of himself. though not OF lands
And having nothing, yet hath all

the remotest antiquity The first no.

xxi, 20, where it is said that Ishmael
became an archer. 1t was introduced
into England IN the reign Of Egbert
the Saxon. but was not used as mar
tial wea pom till the reign OF Edward L.
The period at which the long bow at
tanned it's meridian fame may be fixed
In the reign of Henry v, whose arch
ers destroyed the whole French caval-
nv, clothed in complete steel, with their
ward long arrows. At the battle of
FIodden field also the English archers
made sad havoc. Shooting with the
bow was an extremely fashionable
amusement in the reign of Henry
VIII. and HoIinshed reports that the
prince shot as well as any of his guard
After the siege of Devices in the civil
wars. 1871 the bow as military weap-
on was entirely laid aside. Archery
derives its name from the bow being.

WOMEN in THE CAMPAIGN


WOMEN IN THE CAMPAIGN
The bull moose leaders followed UP
their chiefs pronouncement for wom-
an suffrage with the statement that
women affiliated with the Progressives
would have u large say in the organi-
cation of the new party. In fact, Will
liam Fl. Hotchkiss. one ofThe Progress
sives' big guns, went SO far as to an
nounce. I'VE are going TO fight for
equal suffrage. and we want the WON
en- TO tight shoulder to shoulder with
u.s."
Among the best known women
whcsS support is being given to the
campaign are Jane Adams. the settle
mert worker and head OF Hull House.
Chicago: Miss Alice Carpenter OF
Brookline. Mass, who was II delegate
to the Progressive convention and now
is member of the New York state ex-
ecutive committee. and Miss Maud Ma
lone. the suffrage advocate. Miss Car
penter's particular work has been to
organize women enlisted under the
Roosevelt banner. She was recon-
mended to the bull moose movement
by Miss Frances Keller, who was an
alternate to the Progressive conyen-
ton.
When Miss Malone, who in 1910 bit
terry assailed Colonel Roosevelt at a
public meeting. went into the present
campaign she said: From now until
election day we shall beat up the ceun
try for Roosevelt and woman suffrage
because now we have the chance of
lifetime, not only to do political work
for woman suffrage, bat also to break
down the Chinese exclusion policy of
the Republican and Democratic parties
toward women"

POLITICAL sTAeEcRAr

The Progressive party came into ex-
istence with great hurrah. 1t drew
% it the support OF influences with
which political leaders reckon, and Its
campaign plans were laid with much
nnesse. Il was q clever stroke to
name Hiram W. johnson OF California.
one Of the seven governors who formal
" called upon Roosevelt to enter the
third term race when Roosevelt seem
cd to be hesitating. The Johnson at
tachment to the ticket was Il clever
stroke, too, because the Progressive
party leaders were convinced of his
strength In the west. 1t was a practical
stroke of political scheming that decid-
ed Johnson should devote the greater
part or his oratorical energies TO the
east. while Roosevelt should tear
through the west spreading the doc
trines OF the new party.
The Roosevelt declaration In favor
Of woman suffrage was another ear

willingness to take u chance when
II came to the popular verdict outside
OF the suffrage host Taft had come
