THE CHOICE.

The Kings go by with jewelled crowns; Their horses gleam their banners
 shake,/ their spears are many. The sack of many-peopled towns Is all their dream; The way they take Leaves but a ruin in the brake, make, A stampless penny; tale, dream. The Merchants reckon up their gold, Their letters come, their ships arrive, their freights are glories: The profits of their treasures sold, That tell and sum; Their foremen drive Their servants, starved to half-alive. Whose labors do but make the earth a hive Of sinking stories; a tale, dream. The Priests are singing in their stalls, Their singing lifts, their incense burns
 their praying clamors; Yet God is as the sparrow falls; The ivy drifts, The votive urns Are all left void when Fortune turns, The god is but marble for the
 kernS To break with hammers; tale, a
 dream. O Beauty, let me know again The green earth cold, the April rain,
 the quiet waters figuring sky, |The one star risen, So shall ' pass into the feast Not touched by King, Merchant, or
 Priest, Know the red spirit of the beast, Be the green grain; Escape from prison.
 John Masefield in Contemporary
 verse.

no WORKING WIVES RETAIN
 THEIR FULL SHARE OF LOVE!
% fear not in a world like this, And thou shalt know ere long, Know how sublime thing It Is TO suffer and be strong"

When a married woman decides that if is wisest and best for her to glVe m the endearing delights of life in the home to earn money outside of 1t, such a resolve always springs from the desire to aid the loved ones near est and dearest to her heart. Neces- sitv is generally the lever which se- cures the husbands consent. Now ana then it is the desire of both to earn a sufficient sum of money as quickly as possible to buy a small home, or start a business. or send a promising son to college. When the step has been once taken many a wife finds it difficult to return to her routine of home duties, thereby giving up her weekly wage which came in so handily in the fam fly upkeep.
 Most husbands are grateful to the loving wife who so nobly' takes upon herself a share of the burden of sup port. Occasionally there is one who does not seem to realize or appreciate her sacrifice in this direction. The home of the woman who works out side of it c1l day long is never quite the cozy dove-cote of the woman who can remain in it giving all her time and attention to it. There are wives who could not earn a dollar outside of the home if their very lives depended on it. Who shall say whether the gen. eral run of husbands love the ''ciing- ing vines best or not? No woman can do two things well at one and the same time. If a wife has evolved into a business woman, t'>o home tells the story more plainly than words Each detail of housekeeping gets but lick and a promise. Time and strength forbids anything else. The home at mosphere nelts away slowly but sure ly. The wife is too fretted by many a little annoyance of the day to rush to the door at the sound of her hus- bands 1atchkey to give him a hug and a kiss. More than likely he is the first to enter the gloomy, shut-up rooms.
 Where a home, for any cause, be- comes desolate. existence within it's walls iss unsatisfying, when this oc- CUTS, a goodly share of affection is apt to crumble with it: The business wife forgets all too soon her pretty little artificeS and coquetry-and these are the magnets which hold a mans heart in leash. The working wife gradually usurps the place of the, hus- band. who earns less, as the head of the family. v
 If sickness or sorrow falls upon a husband capacitating him for SUD- porting the home and it's inmates, a wife should heroically go forth to earn money, if she has the ability to do so. Her husband will love her twice as dearly for her heroism and evidence of love for him. But, unless it is a necessity, most men do not care

FASTIDIOUS FOLKS.

And now Prohibitionists, in confer ence in Chicago, in addition to not liking John Barleycorn, don't approve of the scant garb of the Goddess of Liberty on Uncle Sam's new silves quarters. Frances Beauchamp, sec- retary of the party's national com mittee, declares: '"There is plenty of room for more clothes on the figure. I do not approve of it's nudity" Mrs. Virgil Hinshaw. wife of the national chairman said the government evil dently wished to have the figure 'in style by putting so few clothes on her."
 Oh me! oh my!
 And we'll bet a big red apple against a last years birds nest that not one person in fifty who has re- ceived or seen this new coin has even noticed whether it bears the figure of Liberty or of an eagle, or whether Liberty is clothed and in her right mind, dressed for the ballroom, or in

A DIFFIDENT SON.

Mrs. D.. writes: 'I am the mother of son of 22. He is a good boy, but pitifully bashful No coaxing or en- treaties can persuade him to go in the soicety of either young men or young girls of his own age. What shall do to help him master this state of af- fairs?''
 Invite nice young girls and also young men to call upon you-and stay for dinner. Gradually, his extreme difidence will wear away. Do not lose hope or faith in the lad. Some of the most brilliant and successful of public men have been unusually diffident in early youth. Over bashfulness is easily cured. Over boldness is hard to curb. Bashful youths must be handled with tact. Never scold but always praise him for whatever he does. Don't call his attention to his errors in company but let them pass unobserved for the time being

 Here, then, is one of them," spoke Thuvia, indicating the Thark, land if you will look upon this dead man by the door perhaps you will recognize the other. It was left for Sator Throg and his poor slaves to accomplish what the lesser therns of the guard were unable to dO-we have killed one and captured the other. For this has Sator Throg given us our liberty. And now in your stupidity have you come and killed all but myself and like to have killed the mighty Sator Throg him. self''
 The men looked very sheepish and very scared.
 Had they not better throw these bodies to the plant men and then re- turn to their quarters, O mighty one?'' asked Thuyia of me.
 "Yes. Do as Thuvia bids you,' I said
 As the men picked up the bodies I noticed that the one who stopped to gather up the late Sator Throg started as his closer scrutiny fell upon the up turned face, and then the fellow stole furtive, sneaking glance in my di- rectiOn from the corner of his eye.
 That he suspicioned something of the truth I could have sworn, but that 1t was only a suspicion which he did not dare voice was evidenced by his silence.
 Again, as he bore the body from the room, he shot a quick but searching glance toward me, and then his eyes fell once more upon the bald and shiny dome of the dead man in his arms. The last feeting glimpse that I ob- tained of his profile as he passed from my sight without the chamber reveal ed cunning smile of triumph upon his lips.
 Only Tars Tarkas, Thuvia and I were left. The fatal marksmanship of the therns had snatched from our com panions whatever slender chance they 1 had of gaining the perilous freedom of the world.
 So soon as the last of the grewsome procession had disappeared the girl urged us to take up our flight once more.
 She, too, had noted the questioning attitude of the thern who had borne Sator Throg away.
 ''It bodes no good for us, o prince,' she said, "for, even though this fel- low dared not chance accusing you in error, there be those above with power sufficient to demand a closer scrutiny, and that, prince, would indeed prove fatal.''
