MODESTY AND PULLMANS.

Lord Claud Hamilton is quite right
in calling the sleeping accommoda-
tions in Pullman Ears ''immodest",
but wrong in his inference that they
typify American love of publicity.
They are arranged as they are be-
cause the Pullman company. not its
patrons prefers that way. A long
suffering public puts up with them
because II has to, not because it likes
them or fails to recognize their OBJ
jectionable features as clearly as do
travellers accustomed to the greater
privacy of sleeping cars on English
railroads.
That a nights ride in a Pullman is
an uncomfortable experience to all
travellers and an ordeal to every wo-
man is due to the failure Of the
sleeping car trust to m~cdernize its
cars as respects berth accommodations
and adapt them to the present needs
OF night lrd'el. IidNlHS III
ton to meet, it has neglected the es-
sentials Of privacy and comfort for
the detail of mahogany and plush
fittings. The luxury" of the palace
car" indeed, end with its appoint
ments. In the matter Of providing
places for passengers to sleep undis-
turbed and unconscious OF their
neighbors, Pullman cars today show
no substantial improvement over the
model of 80 years ago.
Americans do not prefer the Pull
man sleeping car. They endure it be-
cause they have no choice in the mat
ter. New York World.

1t is like this in Iowa: Iowa had at
first many bull moose yearnings. In
faor it rather honed after the Col
onel. But Iowa republicans, regular
or progressive, wishes the state TO
90 democratic. However, now that
the alleged p~rogressiyes have nomi-
mated a full state tickle and in the
present trend Of public sentiment
toward Wilson, the chances are that
the democra : will carry the state
for the electoral vote. Therefore the
more the Iowa republicans think
about it the madden they get at The
bull moose and all his political SYM
pathizers, aiders and abettors.

THE CITIZENS OATH.

In Boston Of late years they
have held meetings for young
men about TO vote for the first
time. At these meetings the new
voters take the "freoman's
oath" Of 1884, which was as
follows:
i do solemnly bind myself
that | will give my vote and
suffrage as shall judge in mine
own conscience may hes. con
duce to the public veal. 50 help

A better form Of oath for
citizens could not be formulated.
Not all. but many Of the gray
est evils Of politics would be
schotched or slain if voters
lived up 70 that standard. We
can not nope Away to vote

we can not hope always to be
right in our judgment Of what
Is right for the m veal.
But we shall come far neaTer to
1t than we do when we vote,
as the large classes OF voters do,
not for the common veal but
for what they think is their
own. 1t Il when we really vote

o, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF
MORTAL BE PROUD7

10 why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
Like a swift-fleeting meteor. a fast
flying cloud;
IA flash of the lightning, a break of
the wave,
Man passes from life to his rest in
the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be
laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high.
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie.
The infant a mother attended and
loved,
The mother that infants affection
who proved;
The husband that mother ana IN
FAINT who blessed,
Each, all, are away to their dwell
ings Of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose
brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure-her
triumphs are by;
And the emo of those who loved
her and praised.
Are alike from the minds Of the liv-
ing erased.
The hand of the king that the scepter
has borne;
The brow Of the priest that the mitre
hath worn;
The Eye Of the sage and the heart OF
the brave;
Are hidden and lost in the depth OF
the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW
and to reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his
goats up the steep;
TIL beggar, who wandered in search
of his bread,
Have faded away, like the grass
which we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the commun-
ion Of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain un-
forgiven;
The wise and the foolish, the guilty
the just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in
the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the
flowers or the weed,
That withers, away to let others sue
coed;
So the multitude comes. even those
we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often
been told.
For we are the same that our fathers
have been,
We see the same sights that our
fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and view
the same sun,
And run the same curse hal our
fathers have run
The thoughts we are thinking our
fathers would think;
From the death we are shrinking
our fathers would shrink;
To the life we are clinging they also
would cling,
But it speeds for us all like a bird on
the wing.
They loved, but the story we can
not unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the
naughty is cold:
They g~rieved but no wall from their
slumbers will come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their
gladness Is dumb.
They died-aye, they died, and we
things that are now,
Who walk on the turf that lies over
their brow:
Who make in their dwellings a
transient abode,

their pilgrimage road.

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or IL
%fretful, 1t is usually due to some slight
disorder Of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
%buoyancy Of spirits.
IN cases where the use of q gentle,
effective laxative stimulant Is inGi-
Gated, many Of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t Is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. rs easy,
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at.
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy. write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, pol Washington ST., Mon
~ticello, H., for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

FIFE COAL MINERS
Are Religious, Devoted to Their
Homes and Families.
Husbands Take Pride in Seeing Their
Wives Well Dressed-Accident
Vii; Cause Entire Town
to Mourn.

Broughty Ferry, Scotland.-Having
q relative engaged in one Of the pits
at BoWhill, a busy mining district, the
writer has been privileged to learn by
living among them much of the daily
life of the Fife miner. Taking the first
Shift, the miner leaves home in time
to reach his work at six o'clock. He
does not return till he knocks off at
two.
The wife Of the miner has a long
day to get her household duties at
tended to. She is not an early riser,
and getting the children off to school
occupies her morning to the full. They
pop into each others houses at any
time and are dependent on each 9th
er in cases of sickness. A washer
woman is difficult to obtain. Wages
are good and the miner does not care
to e his wife going out to work. The
husbands take great pride in seeing
their wives stylishly dressed, and it is
a sight to see them out for church on
a Sunday. The women will send far
to get their millinery up to date. Their
taste is good on the whole, though it
is largely initiative.
The houses are built In rows, and
in the end house perhaps a clerk or
overseer has his abode; his wife is
usually from the city and has smart
tastes. She is closely watched, and
whatever she gets new to wear is gen
orally what is worn by the whole row
in a few weeks.

water to make the first cup of tea.
They are deeply religious, nearly all
churchgoers, at least once a day. Kind.
hearted and fond of their families,
no better class of men exists among
working people anywhere. If they de.
mand good wages they surely earn
them.
Accidents are of frequent occur.

her mind was never at rest. "YOu

way" she said.
One Sunday I went to church at
Auchterderran. There had been an ac-
cident shortly before, when two men
lost their lives. I was an utter
stranger but / shook with sobs at the
feeling way the minister prayed for
Borrowing families Of the victims. An
unusual chord was struck as he also
prayed for divine blessing on the
kindly hands that had washed the
faces Of the dead before the relatives
looked on them"
