EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.

- And indeed there is something to talk
about. Where there's smoke there's
fire. Things are happening at The Re
public. Its new editor, Horatio w.
SEYMOUR, has his own ideas about max
ing a newspaper. And Republic read
ers seem to think they are pretty good
ideas, too. They are tickled with the
crisp, spicy little paragraphs OF editorial
comment which appear each day; they
are delighted with the good, sound,
militant Democracy . old fashioned,
Jeffersonian Democracy and the merci
less exposure Of Republican fallacies
and n,isruIe; they are laughing over
the csricatures and funmaking cartoons;
they are interested in the stories OF
strange. novel things that happen in
everyday life and recognize the superior
manner in which the news in general IS
given; they are pleased with the new
dress The Republic Is wearing clearer
type and more open lines.

fEssay By Elvin siopali. 9TH grade pupil Of Crit
tendon Grove sehool1
More hearts pine away in secret an
guish for the want Of kindness from
those who should be their comforter
than for any other calamity in life. A
heart that has surrendered tc unhappi-
ness and confronted by Swallowed face
needs more attention of kindness than
the body needs the necessities of life.
For the whole soul tbirsts for kindness,
and the body is never hungry when the
soul is thirsty. And this wound of
cheerfulness will by a course Of time or
by harshness be driven deeper into the
heart where it may be accompanied by
more that forms a shadow over happy
life. Many tender hearts are stored
full OF sorrow which has been collected
from the harshness or eSilness of those
who could have filled these hearts with
joy. There is no doubt but for the lack
Of kindness many souls have landed in
torment
Through life had taken an unfortunate
step. 1t being the first, and with clear
conscience they were reproved, and then
mourned ia grief until the conscience
reproved them no longer. And while
in grief received not a word Of kindness
from friend, nor even mother.
Then from mother, home and friends
they wandered far away, stray &c
away in sin and away from home, feel.
ing that it was the greatest comforter q
all, and while in sin was overtaken by
death and landed 10 torment.
Again turning deaf ear to mothers
talks Of kindness, and reason. many
Head themselves TO distraction before
realizing the value Of it.
A word Of kindness is seed which
when spoken to one in sorrow brings
forth happiness.
Life is only short while here on
earth and it should be made happy II il
does not cost more than kind words and
pleasant voice. The Bible says (Gal. 6
y Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap" And by maxim 6
someone else happy We are sure to rear
the same.
Words of kindness forms chain that
unites heaven to earth. Write your
name by kindness. In the intercourses
Of social life It is by words, by tones, by
gesture, by books that affection is won,
and you are never forgotten.

Died in Nashville, Tenn, at Saint
Thomas Hospital Thursday morning,
Feb. s, 1912, Mrs. Matte Hovis. Oldest
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w F. Ham
iIton, age AZ years and four months.
Words will not express could they be
uttered, and pen cannot describe the
anguish Of soul we felt when the mes
sage came Matte is dead. We were
expecting it. but We hoped against hope
until we knew that she was gone.
But it is sweet to know that she IS
done with suffering. That just beyond
the veil that interyenes she is smiIingly
beckoning US. OH how sad It is to sep
arate with our loved ones. She has gone
to live with the angels. Husband,
mother, father, brothers. sister and
dearest daughter, Era, must make
ready to meet Matte on the happy shore.
We must all get ready to meet Matte,
for she is sleeping with Jesus. Weep
not dear ones, for she is only sleeping.
She was lovely wife, but now her
voice is still. Her gentle footstep can
never be heard any more around the
freside. Her beautiful trusting face is
hidden from us forever more on this
earth. Still it is sweet to know that
some day we can meet her again.
She was always pleasant and kind, a
character to be admired.
God knows what is best for us. He
looked as from window in heaven and
saw beautiful flower blooming on
earth, too beautiful to stay in wicked
world like this. So he sent an angel
to pluck it and transplant it in heaven,
But now her voice is still; that vacant
place cannot be filled. God lever
makes a mistake; be never forgets his
own dear children.
She has gone from her dear ones
her child and husband, whom she will
ingly toiied for and loved as her life
OIL God how mysterious and how
strange are thy ways. To take from us
this loved one in the best OF her days,
Dear husband, you too will be called
home to glory to join Matte in eternal
bliss and happiness. May God help you
to be reconciled to hiswill and fully real
ize that he does all things for the best.
We had a treasure once,
She was our Joy and pride.
We loved her, ah, perhaps too well,
For socn she slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling;
Lonely are our hearts to-day;
For the one wa loved 50 dearly
Has iorcyet passed away.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy rest
Weary with years andworn with pain,
Farewell. I'LL in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis ours 10 miss thee all our years,
And tender memories Of thee keep;
Thine Ia The Lord to rest, for 50
He giyeth his beloved sleep.
Precious darling. she has left us,
Left Us, yes, forever more;
But we hope to raeet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear one has gone;
But obi brighter home than ours
In heaven is now her own.
A precious one from us has gone,
Al voice we loved is stilled;
A place Is vacant ID our home,
Which never can befilled
God ia his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love bad given,
And though the body SAUNDERS here,
The soul is safe in heaven.

The scarcity of willow wood, from

Woman's Sense Of Honor.

Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
Of work, and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable weapons-a lie, tears and
q skillful appeal to the vanity OF man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth OF view and
the truer sense OF honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained when she
herself was student, and which is
still largely that Of women OF her
own age today. An even more strik-
ing fact is that the majority OF men
do not seem TO expect as keen sense
of honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely a deterrent effect upon the
growth OF that sense.-A Woman
Teacher. In London Spectator.

In due time the Hon John had tho

Pergy's enthusiasm was a delight to
see as she discovered that her fifteen
white Beghorn hens had laid an egg

the hen that did It, and so in gratitude
she rendered the whole number such a
banquet that the flock was dopy for
three days.
Not another egg was produced, but
as winter came on Peggy was living In

was one who believed in giving the
hen a chance. II made her nervous
to be hurried, and the hens might
have the same feeling. A shortage Of
eggs in the fall might mean bushels
of them in the spring. Those fifteen
hens and rooster had all received
