PREJUDICED AGAINST
REFORMS.


stronger than ever the other evening
by com. X. Sadler. Com. Sadler has
a talk with punch. At one time she
ELECTED some applause from com. Bos.
from who loaned his presence to the
meeting. This indicates considerable
ability on the part of the speaker.
Com. Sadler has an awful pre-.
JUDGE against reforms, we find
She thought reforms were all right
in their place, but their place was
in Germany or Milwaukee, but not in
the United States. Even in Germany
they are of doubtful value because the
workers insist on going to war and
getting killed before they can derive
any benefits from them. Besides, re.
forms are expensive. They consume
lot of valuable time at conventions
whenever we attempt to draw up a
platform.
Strong for Revolution.
She is strong for revolution. So
are We Revolution is our last name.
Therefore you can see we are not
biased against her position. Being
something of an artist, Com
Sadler painted a powerful picture of
the miserable condition of our citi-
zens. Millions of them were sitting

tion,' she said, 'is the only saliva
ton" Then she demanded to know
how long we would stand for this sort
of thing. We became quite annoyed
at this insinuation. Does she think it
is our fault that the revolution is late
getting around? We have been ready
for it ever since Com Berger was
elected.
We think the delay should be prop
erly charged to Noah Webster. He
insisted on defining revolution as a
complete change. Our citizenry, la.
boring under the misguided notion
that Noah knew something of etymol-
ogy, periodically vote the Republi-
cans out and the Democrats in, and
contrariwise, thinking that such a
complete change amounts to a revo-
luton. Are they to be blamed for
Webster's blunder?
Some hard-pressed individuals, Com.
Sadler continued, evidently having a
suspicion that something was wrong
with this definition, go camping and
stir up small sized revolution of
their own. Ludlow, for example. And
they promptly have their tents shot
to pieces for their troubles. These
revolutions are not popular with the
tax payers owing to their expensive
ness.
The great danger, Com. Sadler
stated, lay in the fact that our hungry
citizens may grow weary of starving
and do damage to the scenery. Such
action would undoubtedly cause in.
convenience.
On the whole we considered Com
Sadler's talk excellent. We had hoped
she would not insist that Socialists
were opposed to war Some pryine

that she allot this time to explaining

When it came to the questions Com

as to what good municipality owned

hope Com. Sadler's reply cleared him
up on this point We suggested tt
him that he buy copy of what Is

A whisper, and then silence!
I Yet know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning to
/ gether
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall!
BY three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret
Ger the arms and back of my chair;
If I try to escape, they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till think of the Bishop of Bingen
In his Mouse Tower on the Rhine.
Do you think, 0 blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old mustache as am
Is not a match for you all!
I have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you into my dungeon
In the round tower of my heart.
And there will / keep you forever,
Yes, forever and day,
Till the walls shall ,crumble to ruin
And moulder in dust away!

HAPPINESS IN MARRIED LIFE.

Happiness in married life depends
first of all upon the ability Of the
husband to maintain as ardent a WOO
ing after marriage as during court
ship. This is the opinion Of one hun
dred Detroit wives, expressed in let
tiers to the Rev. Howard A. Field, pas
tor of the Simpson NJ. Il. Church.
The letters we're requested by the
Rev. Mr.. Field and the pastor based
his sermon "the ideal husband on
them. All agreed that the ideal hus-
band must be an ideal lover.
Other necessary qualities of an
ideal husband in the order of their inn
portance we're fixed as follows:
He must be lover of home.
J lie must be industrious even to the
extent of being willing to roll UP his
sleeves and help tidy the house.
He must be morally pure-there can
be no double standard of purity. =
He must treat his wife as his equal
not as servant.
He must be temperate.

A CURE FOR WORRY.

Now, while we are still in the be-
ginning of the New Year, the season
for making new beginnings, it would
be we'll to look into the makeup of
our characters which the object of at
least trying to discover what it is that
makes us worry. Some time ago we
came across recipe for the cure of
worry and this was the way that it
was given:
Many of US worry because We are
drifters. We have no plans Of life.
We have cut loose from our moor
ings and thrown chart and compass
overheard. We are like the fellow
who said, II don't know where I'm
going, but I'm on my way" Or, like
the dog that sat, lonely, in the rail-
road station because he had chewed
up his tag. 1t doesn't matter SO much
what your occupation may be
whether it's in the home, the school,
the shop or the store-your life will
be immensely relieved from anxiety
and the petty worries if you have some
ideal, the striving after which makes
every little worry seem like the peb-
bles on the high way to the strong
traveller, who is journeying home.
These are mere incidents in his prog
ress and he is unmindfuI of them be-
cause of the goal just beyond.
1t is definiteness, then, which
brings calmness. The assurance that
one is on the way, and not merely
drifting, brings courage in time of
storm, with only ship in sight and
no land to be seen anywhere, with
nothing but a waste of water all about
the captain of the ocean steamer
is nevertheless calm and serene. His
course is worked out. He has COM
pass which directs him and a chart to
show him the way. 1t is mighty
good thing, once in while, to stop
and ask yourself, What is the pur-
pose of my life? Is there anything
toward which I am working. Or is
life merely succession of daily jabs.' y

To avoid audible comments on ones

To be ready with gracious apology

TACT.

1t is the usual practice in n bust
ness office, or in a store, when mis-
take has been made to bring 1t to the
attention of the one who is respon-
sible. 1t is done, of course, as a pre-
caution against making the same mis-
take n second time, and as reminder
that constant care is necessary. II
it is done pleasantly and tactfully,
there need be no hard feelings, since
ii is recognized as q necessary part
of business routine. 1t is only when
q disagreeahle spirit that the result
is resentment and hurt pride.

One does not need to be in the
business world to understand what is
meant by being hard on one," and
the people who enjoy this way of
doing are not very popular with their
companions. Such ones magnify a
mistake till it would hardly be recog-
nized, wonder how it could have been
made, and prophesy cheerfully the
serious results that are likely to fol-
low. When a difference of opinion
comes up between them and another
person, and it proves in the end that
they we're right, they cannot let the
matter rest, nor be satisfied with hav-
ing it shown that they were in the
right, but must have the satisfaction
of going over the whole story, with a
triumphant Il told you so" at the end.
There are so many little uncon-
scious ways in which we irritate or an
noy others that it is to be regretted
any should wish to emphasize mis-
takes needlessly. Nobody enjoys hav-
ing her mistakes pointed out to her,
though if she is learning something
new, or is in a business Office, she
will realize the necessity for noting
mistakes as we'll as successes. Where
there has been a difference of opinion
over some matter, the one who has
been in the wrong will notice.
The friendliness of those among
whom we pass our days is worth so
much to us that it is pity to let it
be spoiled by tribes. If mistake
must be pointed out, it should be
done as pleasantly and impersonally
as possible; if there is difference of
opinion, the one who is proved in the
right should not make himself dis
agreeable over his triumph of the
moment.

GLAD HE TOLD.

Once upon time there was little
boy who went to the country to visit
his cousin Kate. He was nearly six
years old, but had never been out of
the city before. 1t was springtime,
and, oh, such a beautiful, beautiful
place! The days we're not long enough,
there were so many things to see.
Everything seemed wonderful. But
what delighted him most was the wax
ing up of trees and plants that had
heen fast asleep, so long. They looked
so brown and hard, he had thought
they must be dead. But every day out
came a little leaf or flower that nod
ded to him, and seemed to say. Chow
do you do? See we are alive!"
One day he watched Cousin Kate
scattering tiny brown seeds into boxes
filled with earth.
They'll never wake up, will they?"
he asked.
YES" she told him, they would turn
into little plants that were going to
live in the garden. There they would
grow strong and big and have on them
something his mother often bought in
market that was good to eat. She set
the boxes on bench near some cedar
trees at the end of the garden, where
the sun would shine on them, and COW
cred them with glass, For Jack Frost
might pay us d visit some night and
hurt them"
Every day the little boy would get
on his wooden horse, which he loved
to ride, and gallop up to look at them.
And, sure enough, in very little time
there were dozens of tiny green heads
peeping out. But one day, as he rode
kup, his wooden horse ran too fast. and
before he could stop him the bench and
the boxes were knocked over. Out
tumbled the plants, the roots and
leaves all in a tangled heap.
The little boy looked at them with
wide, frightened eyes, and then he got
on his horse and rode away. Faster
somewhere away off a little voice kept
saying:
Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you
ashamed"
Louder and louder grew the voice
and slower and slower went the horse,
until he stopped quite still.
Cousin Kate will be angry and will
send me home," answered the little
boy.
but you ought to tell" said the lit.
tie voice
Slowly he turned the horse and rode
toward the house-round the corner
oh, so slowly! Cousin Kate was sit
ting on the side porch sewing. She
looked up and smiled at him. The lit
tie boy tried to smile back, but he
couldn't. Then he tried to speak, but
his breath seemed quite gone. He
swallowed hard and tried again:
Cousin Kate-a-little boy was rid
| ing his horse in the garden-and-he
upset your boxes of plants. He's sor'
ry-"
Cousin Kate put down her sewing
and came down in the path. She took
his face between her hands and looked
straight into his eyes.
81 am so glad the little boy told,
she said gently. evil he help me to
plant them again?"
The boxes were set back in their
places and, when the last little root
was covered and well watered, the lit
tie boy got on his horse and galloped
gayly away. And all the time the little
voice kept saying:
Aren't you glad you told? Aren't
you glad you told?''

Fox-HUNTERs IN THE WAR
Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That

Waterloo, according to the duke Of
Wellington, was won on the playing

triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that the campaign in Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox-hunting,
which most humanitarians denounce.

has no words strong enough to con-
denim it with. Mr.. Jorrocks, the hero

only 25 per cent of its danger" 1t has
to be admitted, however, that they
who follow the hounds have answered
magnificently to their countrys call
There are, it proves, $50 masters
of hounds with the British colors, 5000
members of hunts and $500 hunt serv-
ants. To them must be added the Of
ficers of the regular army who are &C
customed to tide to hounds, likewise
numbering some thousands. The total
is an impressive one. 1t suggests that
the real attraction of this sport may
be that it is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort
of war"

RELICS OF DEPARTED AGE
Napkin Rings Condemned as Being
Things of Which the World Has
Long Been Tired.

It is understood that the National
American Woman Suffrage association
takes just pride in the opportunity it
has afforded to it's members to dispose
of their superfiuous napkin rings,
which is to say all the napkin rings
they possess. The whole melting-pot
plan fires the imagination.
But for the napkin rings. They are
relics of departed age, reminders OF
the era of the Saturday night bath, the
old folks concert and the painted
panoramas of the Nile. They abide
now in out-of-the-way corners, tar
nished and forgotten, bands OF old sill
yer, often affectionately inscribed at
the command of givers long since
turned to dust. They are the sort of
reminders of a gentler but less fastidi-
