Women Who Carry Milk,

In these days of down-with-every-
thing-old-fashioned there are milk
women in the West end of London
bronzed and sturdy creatures, in blue
print gown and red plaid shawl
who carry the milk around to the
houses in cans slung from the yoke.
here is a firm which keeps up this
lode Of delivery still; and If there
be people who think these women
might be better employed, let them
stand one of them beside, let US say,
a pale young shop assistant or tele-
phone girl or nursery goyerness! It
is wonderfully erect and powerful
specimen Of womanhood, this AREA
BELLE" as she was called in the days
of punning, and is probably descended
from the merry milkmaids" Of Queen
Anne's time, who according to the old
prints, seem to have spent much time
in dancing to the music Of a blind
fiddler-and very healthy business
too

PAY PRICE Fur AFFLUENCE
After All, Rich People Don't Really
Have All the Good Things There
Are In Life.

The great drawbacks of poverty are
relative Short commons arr not so
bad, but 1t hurts to be too much poor
er than other people of your own sort,
and all the time falling in the social
scale. I suppose the Scots, with the
clan and the kirk, and l.vely and
apprehensive community of interest in
the possibilities of the future life, held
so large a spiritual and sentimental
property in common, and held 1t so
hard, that they were less put out than
most peoples would have been by not
having material blessings enough to
go round. Where very few people get
rich, they have to keep on assocfa-
ting with the poor, because there is
no one else to play with. Where
many people get rich they play with
one another, find that more conven-
lent, and easily and naturally tend
to become detached from close as
ISOLATION with persons who have not
succeeded in expressing themselves
in money. Of course that is a ter
I1DlS prize u pay LUZ dlI uCASO, bu~
1t takes more talent to avoid pay
ing it than 1t takes to make money
In our abnormally prosperous coun-
try this social separation automatic
ally induced by money bears very
hard and unfavorably on the affluent,
who fail to get profitable variety of
association. But no doubt that will
be better presently. The bulk of
American wealth is extremely new,
and hasn't formed settled habits. 1t
is entitled to be excused for many
faults and drawbacks on account of
the immense good it has done. For
one thing, it has added valuably to
length of days. People live so much
better and are so much more skill
fully doctored that reasonably large
percentage Of them In our time come
to years of discretion. People that
have any sense coming to them at
all are apt to get 1t by the time they
are sixty-though stubborn cases
take longer. With the young SO bump
tious and confident as they are get
ting to be, it is not an unimportant
matter that the proportion Of the
population that has passed even forty
should be SO much larger than It used
to BEE. s. Martin, In Scribner's

THE PEOPLES FRIEND, Box 246-B, Pasadena, Cal

One Indianapolis man has learned
something about fishing by an expert
ence that he had at Lake Manitou.
On his arrival at the lake he began
looking around for bait. which, he
was informed, was one of the neces-
sary articles In a fisherman's outfit.
He spent hard-earned money for a
supply Of frogs and crickets, which
were highly recommended as being
alluring to the lake fish.
Shorty, as lie is known, had a nice,
new green minnow bucket, and in
this bucket he placed the frogs and
crickets. That night he slept peace
fully, with now and then pleasant
dream of heroic struggles with the
big fish of the lake. He was going
fishing in the morning. He got up,
gathered his traps and calamities to-
gether and then inspected the bucket
of bait. The crickets had disappeared,
but the frogs we're still there. and
they appeared to have fattened con-
siderably during the night.
Since then Shorty has been trou-
bled with the question Of What's
the answer"

Wars Tax ON Uniforms.

Some of the correspondents are al
ready telling us that the British sol
diers' uniforms are beginning to show
wear and tear. 1t used to be believed
that a good uniform would last cam
paign. That was not the experience
of 1870. In December, 1870 (says Won
der Goltz), according to writer In
the Manchester Guardian, German
soldiers might have been seen plod
ding along the miry roads in the
depth of winter barefoot, while many
had only wooden shoes and linen
trousers.
When the Tenth corps marched into
LIE Mans in January scarcely sol
der was clothed in the regulation
manner. Civilian garments, even
French red breeches, were common.
AS is well known, during the South
African war the Beers stripped the
dead for supplies, and our soldiers de
veloped quite fancy for boots Sc
cured in this way. 1t was not callous
ness, but necessity developing a mat
ter of fact habit of mind.

What Is the matter with the new hincse republic? The glorious pri-
 viicgcs of self government which ar'' said to be the right of every nation
 io not seem to be working out in the country which was one the Celestial Empire.
 When a few determined ChInamen who had been educated abroad aided
 h! foreign military expert over threw the hereditary ruler and set aside the customes of the ages many
 ,er pie predicted wonderful things for he yellow republic Rut so far these predictions have not been fulfilled The legislative branch of the new gov ernmcnt has already fallen to pieces and the president of the republic Is row almost as absolute monarch us was the emporer in the days when tho dragon throne was the symbol of heavenly as we'll as earthly power. Tut the mystery is gone. the blind religious belief in the sacredncss of the ruler is gone and the people who once worshiped the emperor as the re- prcsentative of the gods on earth and therefor sacred thing. now have nothing to take the place of the ven cration they once held for this symbol of power. They cannot worship n mere politician whom they themselves have elevated to office and they have not yet progressed far enough to feel the thrill of patriotism.
 It seems as if the republic was bern too soon in China. The very few
 men who were responsible for tho overthrow of the monarchy were far in advance of the grent mass of tho people in ideas and in education. They could see the right of republican could sec the right of republican form of government and the wrong of thc government that existed in China. Therefore they overthrow the cmporor and the institutions which tho pco- plc vcnerated and worshipcd nnd in tlcir place they set up the new order of things which made every man free md equal. perhaps, und they left the people with nothing to cling to in the shape of q sign or symbol of the ruling power.
 Perhaps We of the more enlightened west would smile at this idea of symbol to worship. to bow down to. n symbol which represents the might and majesty and sacredness of our country. A good many of us do laugh at just such things for we arc . ribald nation with far too little scn- timent for the tokens and the symbols which represent our own greatness in liherty and progress and power.
 How many of us ever stop for moment when we glance at the flag cf the nation floating over one of the public buildings realize what those stars and those red and white stripes stand for. what they represent and what they mean? How many of ua ever feel thrill when we see those rcd. white and blue folds shaken out l., the hrccze?
