England from the grave dangers
that threatened II in her day.
To open a negotiation for her
marriage and share in her

plan for checkmating her own
and England's foes. Unfortunate
ly, the painful effort OF this self
dedication to celibacy in each case
seems to have produced the same
result. 1t made repugnant the
idea OF other women marrying
and seeking the personal Joys Of
domestic life and motherhood.
Queen Elizabeth. we know, re-

court; she would often neither
see nor hear OF the offenders af-

were kept secret as long as posi-

A Kind Husband of Few
Words Is Appreciated by
His Wife More When Her
Brother Comes.

Mrs. Drew, on her way to the station
to meet her brother, felt the utmost
fiutter of pleasuraple excitement that
she had known for years. She paced
the platform, thrilled by that anticipa-
ton with which we all await an incom-
ing train that bears someone we love,
and warmed by a glow Of pride and
gratitude that it was Jem, her big,
handsome, affectionate brother. Jem,
who was really coming, after all these
years of disappointment and delay. She
had not seen him since her marriage.
He had never seen the children. and
hardly knew Henry himself. Would he
find her changed?

realized for the first time keenly in
years how much she had missed this
sort Of demonstration.
He Cannot Do the Tender Act.
For Henry was "an undemonstrative
man. That was what he had called
himself at those serious moments of her
life when her father had died, when
their first child was born-when his in

do the tender act, had left her with a

TT Is interesting to learn from

choice is q possibility that is
commonly sooffcd at: Miss Hight
ingale herself was exposed to many
repetitions of the insulting sug-
gestion that she went to the Crimea
in order to find a husband" among
the wounded officers.
But, in fact, some years earlier
on her thirtieth birthday-she had
determined. and recorded her de-
termination in her diary, to think
no more OF love or marriage. but to
give herself to some great work.
Yet she loved a man who was suit
ablo In social position and charac-
ter, and who had proposed to her;
and she argued out with herself in
her diary :he question OF whether
she could satisfy the whole OF her
nature IL she married.
Her conclusion was that her in
tellectual. and what she calls her
"passional." nature would find per-
feet satisfaction in marriage with
her lover; but that her moral and
active nature" which also required
satisfaction, would not be content
ed with sharing In his life.
SEEMS LIKE SUICIDE.
"I could not satisfy this nature
by spending my life with him in
making society and arranging do
mestic things. To put II
out Of my power to be able TO seize
the chance Of forming for myself a
true and rich life would seem to me
like suicide"
Another time. In even more en-
phatic terms. she registered her con-
vfction that marriage is often worse
than death in its influence upon the
fate OF woman. Death may, she
anticipates, be the door to greater
work. but Marriage is often an
initiation into the meaning Of that
inexorable word never which does
not deprive us, It is crue, of what
the inconsiderate call life, but
which brings in reality the end OF
our lives and the chill OF death

The decision left this great wom-
an free for her wonderfully useful
career. Not merely did she nurse
the wounded in the Crimea, and
save there some thousands of lives
by her reorganization Of the camp
hospitals, but she returned home
with influence and power to do
more lasting good. She really gave

Why. if the forthcoming great
movement of emergency currency
is for the benefit and protection Of
the farmers. are some bankers aid
ing in and suggesting measures de-
signed to depress the price of cotton
seed?
Are not cotton seed and the pro-
ducts derived therefrom ons of the
greatest assets in the agricultural
line that Texas and Oklahoma now
have?
Chemists say that a pound of
cotton seed meal, made into a loaf
in combination with wheat flour is
of more nutritive power than ten
pound beefsteak, why then. should
anyone in Texas attempt to bear the
value of the cotton seed.
There is every prospect that the
Americans will be called upon to
help feed the armies of Europe an
bread made of cottonseed meal with
combination of wheat flour. The
cable reports say that even now in
Belgium and Holland the bread is
being made of cotton seed meal and
combination of wheat flour Why
should the raisers, elevator men,
shippers, and millers, bend their eff
fors to get good price on wheat
while the handlers and financlers of
the cotton seed crop try to depress
the selling price of the cotton seed?
The farmer was made to bear the
full brunt of the reduction in the
tariff schedules when the bulk OF
agricultural products was placed on
the free list. Now when an unfore
seen circumstance has made the
price of staple farm products ed
vance, why should an effort be made
to depress the price of cotton seed.
Cotton seed is the greatest food

more protein than any other v"gc Z

domestic animals; even the by-pro-
ducts, hulls, contain the same feed
value as hay, and makes a desirable
! feed for animals. Why then, should
an attempt be made to bear the price
of cotton seed?
Besides the meal there is the oil
extracted from the meal. Oil that
Ia as valuable as the meal foe food
and that forms the basis for substi-
