- THE BLACK OUTLAWS

IT was terrible weather, and the two
great black feathered, black
hearted ravens who lived on the
moor were hard put to It to keep
even their rascally bodies alive. even
though it is said ravens will live
where other creatures starve. This
is true, for their code of honor is
slack, and they live on the starved
ones
The snow had come late and, as all
late SHOWS are, was the worse for it,.
So late had it come, in fact, that we
find one of our ravens standing on a
ledge of rock above cliff, looking
down upon his mate on their great
nest of sticks lined with dry grass
and sleeps wool, which they had
built and almost deserted because the
snow half covered his mate as she
sat on the three eggs.

The keeper at once hurried toward

The saddest Sight.

What, for instance, are those hus-
bands going to say who took the jewel
of a woman's happiness in their keep
ing and then were so careless that they
threw it away? The world is full Of
heart hungry wives, who are starving
for a little appreciation, little love, a
little praise We don't recognize II as
d tragedy because we are too familiar
with it; but there is really no sight
sadder than of the woman who spends
her life trying to please husband who
accepts her labor without thanks. who
passes over her achievements without
commentator, and who growls and
grumbles over every mistake.
Another place where we deserve TO do
in the way we talk before servants.
We discuss the most intimate matters
before them We hazard guesses at
peoples motives. We repeat rumors of
intrigues. We talk as If the maid who
was waiting behind our chair were as
deaf as the adder of the scriptures and
dumb as coffin nail instead of be-
ing an elongated ear and a talking ma
chine combined.
Then, when distorted and garbled

pening we wonder how on earth IL got

Didn't think didn't think" she would
exclaim, wrathfully, "whuts de good in
havin' n thinker eff you don't wuk it?'
So say we ALL brethren and sisters
what's the USE
To take the matter up In its most
practical aspect Is to recognize the fact
that it Is other peoples carelessness
that lays our heaviest burdens upon
us. This Is especially true as regards
women, and there isn't a mother. and
wife. and housekeeper in the land who
doesn't know that 1t il because her
family don't think that she must slave
at a never ending job that has no let
up from years end to years end.
Even more to be deplored than this
Is the lack OF thought we show in our
conduct to those of our own household
and whose happiness or misery lies IN
our hands. I often think that when
the great judgment day comes for each
of us, and we must answer for the deeds
done in the flesh. We shall not be so
appalled, by the one or two great wrongs
we may have committed as by the thou
sand little acts OF criminal carelessness
that darken our past.
