y THE WISE WOMAN x

Ten o'clock in the morning! What
does that hour mean to you-there
at the resort where you are spend
ing the summer, tatting or crochet
ing? And you gossip there on the
front piazza, don't you?
Lovely, uplifting, inspiring, thrill
ingly exciting. that sort of thing,
isn't it? The woman you laugh at
doesn't hear one word of it, she's
waiting for her mail.
A fool-that woman? She's the
only sensible one among you all.
There's that friend of yours, the
wise woman"-oh, how wise~she
is. So wise that her tired eyes look
all the time as if she were in the
most terrible torment. and she
can't smile a natural smile to save
her life.
That husband of the wise wom-
an-she's always making fun of
him, isn't she? and taking the
greatest pains to show every one
that she doesn't care the snap of
her finger about him.
He'd like to be in love with his
wife, and he'd@like TO believe that
she is in love with him, if he is 40
years old and not particularly
handsome,
He'd like to remember the Wise
Woman as she was when he first
met her when they were both
young and happy He'd like to put
a little halo of sentiment around
her rather stupid little head, but
the wise woman can never be
fooled" by any such CANNON as
that. not she.
oh, she knows him, she knows all
men. they are all frauds, every one
Of them, all gay deceivers.
She lets her own particular gay
deceiver see quite plainly that she
doesn't care a rap for him, but
does care for his check book and
he is gradually growing to be the
very thing she expects him to be
just because she does expect it,
She's the one who leads the laugh
at the woman who is in love with
her husband, isn't she?-pOor, silly,
dull-witted thing, she's missed all
that is best in life and is Dragging
about it.
"Hurrahi" cried the blind man.
I'm stone blind, | don't have to be
bothered seeing sunsets and moon
rises. a rose looks just the same
TO me as a blackeyed Susan.
never care whether it's dawn or
duSl< it's all the Same 70 inc I'm
wise really wise am blind, stone
blind. and I'm proud of it,"
That's what the wise women"
are like--poor blind things-and
they dare laugh at any one with
the blessed gift of sight!
Sit at the feet of the woman III
love with her husband. wcll mean
ing one if YOU really are well
meaning" and learn wisdom-the
only wisdom of all the ages, the
wisdom of love.

The Forecast

= The forecast of a time by supernal law
seemed to dwell in this world and in this time;
Yet nowhere was there sight sound of poverty crime
All strife had ceased dsarmed quiet had
made
thousand avenues for toll in place of Wars grim
From East to West from North South highways smooth
and broad
Tied State to State the lands boomed like garden spots Of
God.
There were beggars the there unemployed
For each owned his plot of ground enjoyed
Sweet children grew like garden flowers
And when marveled at the sight thus spake Voice
All Motherhood is the greatest earth;
And nowhere there known the crime birth
From rights of parenage the sick and sinful
For aron Science keeps house. stands guard
We know the cure for darkness lies in letting in the light
And Prisons replaced by Schools wrong change
right.
The wsom knowledge study thought bent beast and sod
We give now to the human race the highest work of God
And as the gard ner chooses seed select with
And Man Plant grows give him soil and and air
There slums; homeless poor all opuent
For Mother Earth belongs Them the First Intent

$4,000, 900 Might
Have Been Saved.

The United States government
is. in some things, a type of Cues
tioning Citizen body. In 1911, the
questions of the postoffice depart
ment addressed to gentlemen who
sell securities by mail to the public
drew forth the information that
practically worthless goods were
exchanged for $77,0OO,000 of good
money. The government was able
to put some of these promoters in
Jail
But it did not get them all.
The NEW YORK AMERICAN,
quoting Mr.. B. F. Harris, president
of the Illinois Bankers association,
states that the people of the United
states Citizens and voters with
rights and privileges) are annually
swindled out of $500, 100000 through
the sale of fake securities of one
kind and another.
In other words, it costs the citi-
zens 81 100000 day NOT TO ASK
QUESTIONS.
They worship on Sunday. They
feel proud of the public educational
system on week days. They read
papers seven days a week. They
pay up promptly-a million a day.
Meanwhile, it is hard to meet
bills, for wages are low. Mean
while the citizen finds it difficult
to prosper becaGse of the high cost
of living; but, meanwhile, regularly
as the day dawns. out goes mil

men who have families to support

must be to the ground. 1t is your
duty to yourself and your family
to know who is coming up the

Al can not. Suppose that I
should be asked: What is the
cause of light moving with the in
cessant specific speed of 1856 1888
miles during each successive second
Of time?' l would be utterly I'M
able to reply First, l can not
think of the cause of this unthink-
able velocity. How answer? The
fact is. science does not know what
anything really is.
Elections are the vanishing
points; they are on the limit of
knowledge of even hope Of thought
All are agreed that they are cleo
tricity, but that does not help in
the solution of any riddle of the
universe.
1t does not seem possible that
science will come TO an end in any
attempt at explaining. Some new
discovery surprising all others may
yet be made Really, such a dis
covery must be made. or science
will come to an impenetrable wall.
for we can not at present think of
mind life or an electron. How
progress or advance in search of
anything If we are unable to think
of It? This is a gloomy outlook;
but just noW It appears to be hope
lessly impossible to discover any
fact as TO what mind, life and cleo
tricity are. l have printed during
80 years that the human mind is
inimitable in its powers; but l may
be obliged finally TO admit that 1t
can not find what itself is.

n COLLEGE president, speak
n ing about the well paid
man, said:
"The man who is wanted is the
man who can DO the thing. Some
may guess at it; some may have
read about it. This man can DO 1t.
He has learned his lesson. He kept
doggedly at it. He paid the price.
He saw things >far off that others
did not see. Therefore, the world
now wants him. Therefore, he has
his chance,
But the man who achieves is
not simply the man who CAN do
the thing. He is the man who
WILL do it. His mind is not on
the pay. His eye is not on the
clock. He is not counting the diff
ficulties. His business is to see
the thing done. He stops when he
has finished
And the man who achieves does
not need to hunt for job. The
job hunts him. And life's best fun
is it's work well done"
The well paid man and the well
equipped citizen are in the same
class. They both get there by ask

are seem wrong. they do not wor-

No man is a good citizen who
does not demand of humanity what
he can justly have. There is no
statement in the Federal or state
constitution that you shall be pros
porous. But there is a distinct
statement that you MAY be. Now
the lack of prosperity results from
two causes:
l. Political conditions produced
by men in office
2 Personal conditions produced
by yourself at home.
AS a rule, the lack of prosperity
is invariably a personal matter
This means that you are, to a great
extent, responsible for what you get
