Special Correspondent Of The Washington Hrrah
New York. March 19.-Chariie Edaon,
the man from Arkansaw. is back on
Broadway from Half Moon Mountain
writing pieces for the morning telegraph
About six months ago he suddenly dis
appeared and the next heard of him was
that he was writing the Great American
Hick novel in the hills where he was
born.
A breath from the West is Charles
He sees Broadway from the same angle
that the crowd around the general store
stove back home sees a dog fight on the
main street He has a natural writing
ability and combined with it a self-cduca-
ton that puts him in the class of the
best writer's in New York.
He Just pokes around in the odd hooks
and corners OF Gotham and turns up
stories that city editors never knew were
there The other day he was browsing in
Washington Square and found serious
little group of thinkers who were read
ing from the anthology of vcrs ibre.
Here is one of the poems that he heard

men had sworn to establish.
Before the end came that government
mad thrust it's hand into practically
every AFFAIR, whether public or private,
that touched the sources of life. 1t had
even gone into trade
When all money was spent loans and
taxes came into its hands in the shape Of
me crude products of the soil. Cotton
and food stuffs were a kind of legal ten
der in trade, but the stocks which accu-
mulated in the government store-houses
were too great and bulky to be made
currency Of in the purchases Of the ex-
ecutive departments.
The cotton. especially, il could not get
rid of unless some exit could be made to
foreign markets. The Treasury Depart
ment, therefore, would grant no clear
ance papers to any vessel preparing for
the desperate attempt of running the
blockade which did not make up at least
one half its cargo out of the government
stores
Blockade running became a sort OF
government monopoly. either in the
hands OF the state governments or In
the hands Of the government at Rich
mond. Both what should be taken out
and what should be brought in were de-
termined by those who had charge of
public affairs.

-Four million seven hendred Thousand
acres Of the public domain at the West
were taken up 10y new settlers, who
moved forward to occupy them as If in

miles of railway were built
The value OF imports leaped up to a
sum which presently almost equalled for
the North alone the total value of the
imports OF the whole country in 1854 the
South included. Manufactures fiourished
as il under a new stimulation
Though it was spending blood like wat
err the population of the North was re-
plenished; though money was poured out
as II drunk up by the very soil Of the
battlehelds, wealth kept pace with the
demands made upon it. and more than
kept pace.

FISHING.

Addison wrote in his "SpcCtator' that
every sood man has a hobby, while bad
men supply its place with vice
Fishing is hohby-onc OF the most
virtuous of hobbies-end | would almost
say that fishermen are the most virtuous
OF men.
The serious William Collier says that
there are three kinds of liars: Liars
Plain. Liars Extra dinary, and-Fisher-
men.
Fishermen are ina ginativc-and when
they tell the folks at homo about the
size of the one that got away they just
dramatic their imaginations.
But it's not what YOU would really call
downright lying.
I used TO believe that an anglers i'm
plement consisted of a rod and line. with
hook at one end and a fool at the
other.
Ny sympathies were always with the
fish.
But lately have come to know more
about fshermen-I have observed close
ly their manners and morals-and / now
believe that fishing is excellent moral
culture.
No part in life affords as perfect an
example Of Fair Play as Fishing.
The fisherman asks for no mean or
petty advantages.
If things do not come his way, he's
patient.
II they never come, he smiles
His temper toward his filmed adver-
sary is magnificent at all times
And this mental attitude of the fish
erman slowly crystallizes into character
he treats his fellow-man as he does
his fish.
He also becomes a philosopher. for
throwing his line into the River of
Doubt" he knows that only Destiny can
tell what will be on the hook.
For the man who has yet to become
acquainted with himself, I strongly urge
the fishing hobby-it will surely intro
duce him to his Better Self

There is always work for women to do, how
ever, in the way of domestic service, that is, if
thew are efficient and untrammeled. But as do
mestc service is now conducted, it is, in many
cases, virtual slavery Servants, though they
NAV not be heavily burdened, may still have to
be on duty most of the day and part of the even
ing. And women with children, rule, not
desired as servants. They likely to be in
terfcrcd with in their work. As a rule such
women have to turn over their children to the
care OF other women, often untrustw orthy.
In all cities of considerable size, there sew

those most worth helping afraid OF such

They have a very natural pride and they have

there are children, the mothers terribly afraid
OF having the children taken from them.
Here indeed is one OF the chief reasons why
MANY mothers suffer in silence. Nowadays it is
the policy of most philanthropic workers not to
do anything that will break up families. They arc
constantly expressing their belief in the social
value OF the family group And yet, only the
other day, I heard woman who dcvotcs most of
her life to fine phanthropic service, speak OF an
other woman in straits, the mother OF three chill
dren, and she insisted that the children ought to
be taken away so that the mother might be free
to work. She realized that under the circun-
stances no allowance whatever could be made for
the powerful instinct which makes the mother
long to keep her children under her personal care

The club will, in all proba bility,
