“BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER”
----- " 1 - • ' -*-■ ' ■'
Without good red blooxi a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of
the blood, or anaetnia, is common in young folk* as well-as old. Especially Is it
the case with those who work in illy ventilated factories—or those who are shut
up indoors.in winter time with a coal stove burning up the oxygen or emitting
carbonic (oxide) gas. This blood, or blood which lacks the red blood corpuscles*
in anaemic people may have been caused by lack of good fresh air breathed into
lungs, or by poor digestion or dyspepsia. Sometimes people suffer intense
nain over the heart which is not heart disease at all. but caused by indigestion.
Whatever the cause, there’s jost one remedy that you can turn to-knowing
that it has given satisfaction for over 40 years.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
I have received but few in my life,
but I have also had enough of them to
convince me that there is generated in
• the minds of the writers enough hate
and spite and malicious promptings to
make such missions thoroughly con
temptible and despisable.
If you desire to inform yourselves as
to the identity of the writer and suc
ceed in uncovering to the public, you
may always expect to find very sorry
people at the business.
Generally I throw them into the
fire that have come in niy way, (for when
my husband was in politics he received
: - quite a number). I consider them un-v
worthy of notice, but occasionally you
i run upon screeds that almost betray
•* themselves by their incautiousness and
5 spite. These thoughts come to me, sifice
;; receiving one yesterday covering sixteen
!J pages of note paper, in which I am held
1 up to contempt because 1 do not con-
» tribute $100 to a church (where I do not
belong) to pay its debt, and because I do
not donate considerable to its pastor
jT and wife, to relieve the poor, and be-
' .cause I do not sell -what I have and give
■ to various objects, in which some mod-
ern Mrs. Jollaby has some • sentimental
Tf Interest, etc., etc. At first I felt truly
; . indignant, until I reflected that such
'/• was the design of the writer, namely to
iJ offend me and if possible harrass me.
r Then I concluded I would sound a note
of warning to Semi-Weekly Journal
readers, and tell the young and unsus
pecting that a person who would use
an anonymous letter to stab or sting is
none too good to do a more cerious
wrong, opportunity being afforded them.
It*ls a cowardly proceeding, to speak
mildly of such an offense against fair
dealing. No gentleman or lady could
afford to use such missives, and vulgari
ty always exploits Itself where decency
and good breeding declines to go. It is
in one sense ruffianly, because it stabs
in the dark, but I repeat it is always
cowardly no matter who does it, as it is
intended to conceal the assailant and
(leaHST ffbadly blow.
I have seen an entire school set by
thje ears wjlttY tale bearers and scam^ 2 - 1
‘ttioftgers—but you" could trace the au-
thours of the disturbance, if the probe
,t ; was appliedbut an anonymous letter,
i * with a disguised handwriting can do its
work even more secretly. Tho^e who
*' write such unsigned letters are bent on.
mischief, and you may expect such peo-
- pie to deny authorship when cornered.
* I have often heard it said that a crim
inal would be expected to lie if con-
* victed of theft.
3 I am also saitsfied that anonymous
letters are set forth by people who
I would steal one’s good name and ex
pect to lie out of it.
\ If my contributions were deemed nec
essary, (which I assume to say—was
jj my business, not theirs) it would have
been easy enough to have made a per
sonal appeal, and they could have saved
their credit and their manners, ir I had
declined to “fork over”; but that was
not the -purpose. It was the slimy at
tempt to bully me into doing something
that they proposed to exult over—if I did
or if I didn’t.
The letter was sent through our own
postoffice, and written*in .our town.
When I corner the writer, I’ll give you
a sequel to this article a sort of con
tinued story.
Boys and girls, anonymous letters are
as bad as dynamite in the hands of a
vicious people. Beware of them, because
they are vicious in purpose, and deadly
in their intent to injure.
Hr
A GENTLEMAN.
If I should endeavor to define the
character of a gentleman, I should most
likely be at a loss for exactly the most
suitable words to convey my mean
ing. In my long life with considerable
acquaintance with people, some with
reputation and fame and others who
were of less exploitation, I have al
ways found that highly cultivated men
are ever the least conceited, and the
most pretentious are every men of small
understanding. Chesterfield decided
that “politeness” was the njost •fitting
syllable for such deflriitjypn, but I do not
believe that politeness covers all that
the. world gentleman implies.
Considerateness is obliged . to be a
great factor and a delicacy in assum
ing prominence ,lr\ positions. . I. think a
gentleman teacher is a long step ahead
of a tyrannical teacher because one is
considerate of those under his discip
line. The children are weak because of
lack of experience, and the teacher’s ex
ample is the thing that -counts in man
aging schools, the employed and the de
pendent in families.
Sometimes we can mark great minds
by their bashful natures, but that will
not serve for a rigid rule, because weak
and vicious people mask their Inclina
tions Very often by a timid attitude.
Nevertheless, a vulgar mind will gen
erally show itself by bullying methods
—and by a neglect of the Common or
simple courtesies of life—even though
there is money and prominence to back
up tWir pretensions; A gentleman
not lie or steal—and he will not abusfe
the confidence of those who trust his
word or his honor. It is unfortunate
that some men in high places will sell
their .votes and betray their constitu
ents, and still find sychophants and
vapid flatterers. I know a case in point
where a United States senator sold him
self to a great railroad syndicate, and
floated' on 'the money he procured by
suefh dishonor 1 , and yet there are people
who still boast of that man’s greatness
in public speeches. A man must have
integrity, to be a gentleman.
CLERGY PAYS TRIBUTE
TO AMBASSADOR BRYCE
Miss Sylvia Pankliurst Says
Strange Man's Assistance 1
Humiliates Her
(Special Dispatch; to The Journal.) 1
, LONDON, Feb. l£>.—The American
suffragettes, Miss Seline Anderson, and
Miss Sylvia Pankhyrst, sent to prisohi
for eight and five weeks respectively,
tonight were- liberated when an uniden
tified man paid their fines, amounting
hi all to $50. Both young women pro
tested vigorously against leaving their
cecils, saying that* they refused to pay
a fine k because they would not pay
tribute “to a man-made government”
and thought it unfair that, money
should be accepted for them without
their consent.
Both were on a hunger strike, hav
ing refused all foods since they were
sent to jail, from, Thames police court,
Friday.
Miss Anderson and Miss Pankhurst
were arrested Thursday night after
one had thrown a stone through a
window'. Both vigorously resisted ar
rest, kicking, biting and scratching the
policeman who "took ‘hem into custody.
MAN’S AID HUMILIATING.
It was the second time that Miss
Pankhurst has undergone the humili
ation of accepting assistance from a
man. From the fact that it was a
strange man at that, incensed the .mili
tant daughter of Mrs. Emmelyn Pank
hurst the more.
Miss Pankhurst W’as arrested on the
night that the franchise reform bill
was withdrawn by Premier Asquith in
the house of commons. She was then
in company with General Mrs. Flora
Drummond, and was charged with re
sisting an officer. At the trial for' that i
offense, the girl refused to answer any !
question and shouted “Votes for
women” at the top of her voice all the
time she was, in court. The day after
she was jailed, a man paid her fine.
General Drummond and Mrs. Despard
also had to accept the ‘assistance of
some man unknown .to them.
A large force of Scotland Yard men
tonight were trying to ferret the iden
tity of the 4 suffragettes who mutilated
more than &. dozen golf links early to
day, but no arrests were made.
The officers also, failed to apprehend
the suffragettes who this afternoon
deluged with greeri paint a box filled
with outgoing American mail at Chai-,
inj Cross postoffice.

It is the spend habit that tends to
ward to penury—and it is the thrift
habit that tends upward to independ

Children who run to town as soOn as
somebody gives them a nickle and
spends because they have not. regard to
thrift, will soon grow up with the
spend habit ingrafted into their natures.
Parents are'to be censured who do not
chqck this silly spendthrift conduct.
THE THRIFT HABIT.
^Thjg^e is? a Well-cteflned thrift .habit,
also si. prevailing spending habit, and
thees twp' in their extreme limits are
also deemed prosperity and poverty.
A wage earner who gets a daily sal
ary and fails to save a little of* it, will
surely run upoi\ a crisis where the lack
of the saving will bring mortification
if nothing more.
The spend habit will eat out the
best salary, if more goes out than can
possibly come in.
Every sum Is wasted that does not

that add nothing to our comfort, or to
the happiness of others.
I once heard of a girl Who was em
ployed to run a sewing machine on fine
silk fabrics, and who earned from four
to six dollars a week. Every day she
bought five cents of chewing gum and
chewed all day.
This constant chewing injured her
teeth and her digestion, until she
finally collapsed with gastric fever. If
she had saved that five cents a day the
would have saved nearly twenty dollars
in money alone, besides protecting her
health. In five years she had spent
nearly one hundred dollars—that was
worse than wasted. Every right-ind-

becoming dependent on charity or a bur

The Kind You Have
Always Bought
Professor William James, late Profes
sor in ; Harvard University and author
of “Varieties of Religious Experiences”
and other bbOks, wh-o died a few years
ago, seems to be • degenerating in the
spiritual world,, if ,we may trust the
spiritualistic cornifinmeations which
gome of his quondam friends and asso
ciates claim" ttf&t h«. ha^ been sending
to them. , !
- . Some , months ago tfiey ‘ say he" sent
.through the , medium of a half-witted boy
a message to the - effect that lie desired
a 'Christinas present of a black necktie
and-two., pairs of pink pajrfmas to give
his friend,. Prof. Janies, Servey Hyslop.
t It is fair to suppose that his wishes
were duly regarded, and-that Prof. Hys
lop r got theste bits of apparel
during * the ’ recent : holidays. It would
have' been - a- pifcy- for ^Prof .'• James to
desire such things for his friend, and
being unable to down to him.
should have •nobody earth who would
attend to • the smsbli ^eftnmission on his
behalf. DoubtlqsS^^rofy; Hyslop got the
necktie and-the pajamas, the one to wear
by day and' the Others 'by night to the
satisfaction of his. departed associate,
whe -seems to bis .“So near and yet so
far,”—near enough ‘ to note the defi
ciencies in* Hy Si op’s Wardrobe and yet
too far to supply said deficiencies by
his own ; hand. It is evident that Prof.
James got some one to make the Christ
mas present for him; for otherwise we
may suppose he would have become dis
couraged by the iheffeciveness of his
communications and have refused to
talk more. Who would care to hav^ fur
ther communications* with friends who

THE OtNTAUR OOMFANT. NCW YORK OITY.
“Good mornin’, Miss, I wuz witin’
fer ye.” She stood at the entrance to.
the underground iA Aldgate, White
chapel district, London, a handsome,
dark-haired young woman, her face
beaming and eyes aglow at the thought
of a holiday.
“When I told me mites to the factory
I wu tikin’ the day off to show a ledy
about the Lonnon ’as I knows, an’ the
factories, they says to me, ‘My word,
you’ve got your nerve a brigin’ a leday
down ’ere. Don’t let the foreman, see
’er; miyebe she’ll get took on! Ain’t
you shimed to walk along the streets
with ’er,’ th e says. ‘No,’ I says, ‘if I
wu in rags an’ 'er in silks an’ satins,
an’ wantin’ to know about these -’ere
places, I’ fetch ’er,’ I says.
We went first to Marshal VJck’s
Docks, a great row of low buildings on
the wharf, where hundreds of girls were
working, unloading huge bundles of
filthy sacks, from the barges and sorting
them to mend and wash.
“This is where I worked arter my
mother died, an’ dad couldn’t keep me
livin’ at ’ome. When I come ’-ere I got
8 bob, pide 7 for lodgings out, 1 bob
that left* me (25 cents) for clothes; an*
I 'arn’t none noo for carfare, an’ walked
a mile to work of mornln’s. I tries to
better myself an’ gets a job to the bot
tle factory , down yonder. The sime
money, but not such dirty work.
In the block below were the ware
houses and wharves of this factory.
Here again wer e crowds of girls unload
ing casks of bottles and washing them
in a cold and draughty place, working
from 6 in the morning till 6 at night
for a wage they could not live on.
“This ’er is a terrible neighbor’ood for
girls. Lots of ’em, not more’n sixteen
‘as bibies or tikes to the streets. They’re,
alius ’ungry, them ’as asn’t ’omes. They
gets tired tryin’ to live dtcint and they
says, ‘We can’t get money by fair
means we'll ’ave It by foul.’ Or mlybe
some chap gets sweet on ’em an’ axes
’em to ’ave a bi^ of dinner. They goes
to the ‘pub’ artu, gets a bit jagged, an*
it’s all up with ’em. I ain’t blimin’ the
girls. My word. I knows wot it is to
live on eight bob a week, gettin’ up at
4 in the mornin’ an’ walkin’ to work. I
left this 'ere 'ole an’ got a job In the
jam factory—pide three bob for clogs to
^vear on me feet; we stands in . the
water all die—and I gets ten bob a week,
along of the rheumitics we takes with
the cold. I tried it an’ lived with my
married sister, near. She ’adn’t no toom
fer'me, but I slept on the floor. Gave
’er seven bob a week fer board an’ lodg
in’, but ’er 'usband ’adn’t work an’ the
kids ’ad to ’ave my dinner. ’Ad to pawn
me coat I wuz payin’ a bob a week fer
to the dealer to feed the kids.
Then I tried 'op pickin’ in Kent, but
I took sick. There wuzn’t no plaice
for me then but the work-’ouse or the
street, if it ’adn’t been fer my young
man. ’Ee took me ’ome to ’is mother.
I wuz in luck, I wuz. Mum an’ dad’s
givin’ me a home an’ now I got a job at
12 bob a week in the tire factory. I 'fric
seven bob to ’em an’ live decint. Things
is better now fer me, tho’ my sicters
arnin ell w’ith eh four kida Me an’ my
young man is keepin’ company, but
we’avn’t set no weddin’. I’m fer bet
ter’n oursels afore we fetch others into
this world, with things as they are.
I got. a job, an’ I’m willin’ to stiy in
it. It ain’t a bad plice. Though the
smells is awful. Some of the girls
faints an’ some of ’em dies, but there’s
alius othors to tike their plice. We
ain’t got no ledy Inspector like we
oughter ’ave down 'ere. The man ’ee
walks through, but 'ee never. sees
nothin’, and it ain’t likely to be better.
Wot I want ter know is 'ow things
is to be piide better. I never learned
nothin' about that ter school, an’ goes
till I wuz thirteen. Headin’ an’ writin’
an’ figurin’ I le&r$ed. An’ jography,
about these ’ere fjjcrtn parts,, an’ about

did. Wot do I keer about all that? I
wants ter know about these ’ere
times; an’ ’ow to get on in the futoor.
That’s wot. They don’t larn ye that
in the schools. An’ wots the good of
’em, I says. I got ’ands an’ eyes an a
’ead, an’ I says tb myself I’d like to
know ’ow to use ’em to better myself, I
would. % The sime with my mites to the
factory. But working as we 'as to,
bed an’ work, bed an’ work, exceptin’
Sunday’s a ’ead ain’t bloomin’ good
to you. The "less^ye thinks mybe the
better it is.”
We stood at the" gates watching the
hundreds of pallid, thin, tired out old
young women pouring out of the tire
factory. Not one lp'oked really healthy
or well fed.
“An some of ’em ’as to walk a mile
’ome from ’ere, and some of ’em won’t

“a black-necktie and two pairs of pink
pajamas”? There chn be no reasonable
doubt that Hyslop lias ..that black neck
tie and those pink pajamas; for Prof.
Jameis Is not discouraged, but contipues
to talk; and he always talks in Hyslop’s
interest.
A press dispatch dated New York
January 23 says:
Dr. James H. Hyslop, of the American
Society for Psychical Rereach, makes
the statement thai T he had received a
private message from his friend, WiL
liam James, professor of philosophy at
Harvard, who died about three years
ago, warning him of an evil spirit or
influence, a “poVtergeist,” which cun
ningly leaves razor blades and matches
in places where they might do the most
harm; an evil shade which lurks in the
dark and hurls ink-stands and heavy
stones at the heads of true believers in
spiritualism.
The last message from Professor
James asked Dr. Hyslop to write a mes
sage against woman suffrage.
Now what can poor Hyslop do?
James says the “speerits” are afteiv
him with razor blades and matches and
ink-stands and stones; and yet he di
rects him to stir up the window-
smashing suffragettes by writing a
message against their delusion, which
they seek to promote by “hikes” in
America and riots in England. Prof.
James ought not to send Hyslop into
more perils than the evil spirits are
seeking to bring upon him. It is quite
evident that different classes of mallg-..
nant spirits are after the poor man al
ready without adding the suffragettes
to the attacking forces. Anybody can
see that the spirits of some enraged
colo.red citizens are after him; for who
but a colored spirit would attack him
with a razor? Of' course, most of
the suffragettes have no razors, and
they can not throw rocks with 'any
sort of knowledge of whether their mis
siles will hit Hyslop in front of them
or some of their own company behind
them; but they can use tackhammers
with precision.. And how does Prof.:
James know that none of them will
drive a nail in- his temple, . like _ Jael
did Sisera? It is not a fair thing for
him, away off in the spiritual world
out of reach of hammers and nails,
to send Hyslop into such a danger,
knowing full well that if the worst
comes to the worst he can not get by
his own hand so much as a black neck
tie or a pair of pink pajamas to his
friend to wear in the midst of the
fray. Candid people, however highly
they may have esteemed Prof. James
hitherto, will not hold him blameless
for trying to lead poor Hyslop into this
new “variety of experience,” while Tie
himself s.oars serenely above all' dan
ger. No sort of affected interest in
Hyslop will be sufficient to convince
reasonable people that Prof. James is
disposed to give his friend a “square
deal” in this matter. Nobody could
justly accuse Hyslop of disloyalty to |
his talkative friend in the spiritual:
world, if he flatly refused to raise this
proposed row with the militant suffra-1
| gettes. Who can blame a man for de- !
dining to incur an additional danger
when already colored cohorts of the |
air are after him with razors and
academic spirits are hurling inkstands
at him, while spiritualized Huckleber
ry Finns are running after him with
handsful of stones? Shall a prudent
man yield to the request of a friend,
to whom he is under no greater obliga
tion than that incurred by the gift of
a black neck-tie and two pair of pink
pajamas, and rush recklessly into a
needless peril?
Prof. James asks too much In re
turn for that small Christmas present,
which he ordered sent to Hyslop by
the hand of a hair-witted boy. In the
old days at Harvard he would have
done no such thing. It Is but just
to him to say that this want of gen
erous care for his friend is out of
keeping with his well-known character.
When In th e flesh he was a philoso
pher, Interested In high themes, whom
the Universities of Edinburgh, Padua,
Baltimore, and Cambridge delighted to
honour with degrees too numerous to j
mention; for at the sound of his name
Harvard, Johns Hopkins. Edinburgh, |
and Padua fell to singing like the an- j
clent Psalmists “songs of degrees.” ;
Alas! alas! he got out of the flesh, j
and lo! he has become absorbed in
haberdashery, razors, rocks, and worn- j
an’s suffrage. How are the mighty 1
fallen! The last thing Prof. James
ought to have done was to die, as the
witty Hibernian said; but the trouble
with him is that (lying was not the
last thing he seems to. have done on
earth, that is, if Hyslop can be trusted
to report him correctly. It is impos
sible to say what effect his recent
messages may have on his standing in
the invisible circle (?f spirits among!
whom he is now moving; but they are !
not helping his reputation among
thoughtful people on the earth. Some i
might be unkind enough to say that his
apparent degeneration since his depar- J
turo is only a case of reversion to
type, he having been descended from
Swedenborgiap ancestry; but I 9-m not
ready to accept any such view. It seems
to be nothing more than a case of
Hyslopipg. He was tending In that
direction before he died, and the mo
mentum of his movement seems not to
have spent itself at death.
Any one *can se^with half an eye that
these communications from the disem
bodied James are marked with distinct
characteristics of the Hyslop type of
mind. The hands may be of the Esau
James sort, but the voice is the voice
of the Jacob Hyslop kind.
In fact it is an interesting thing
to note how disembodied spirits are
addicted to mimicking the voices and
manner of the mediums through whom
they talk. They even adopt the errors
of grammar and spelling which belong
to the people to whom they make their
communications On one occasion a gen
tleman showed me a message which he
had recently received from General
Washington, who from the spiritual
world had written him a communica
tion advising him as to the course which
he should pursue with reference to a
certain political campaign • which was
then pending. Bfelhg somewhat per
plexed • myself as to how a patriotic
Amerioan citizen should vote at that
crisis in our country’s history, and hav
ing great respect for the venerated fa
ther of the republic, I was most eager
to read what he had to say on the
pending issues. But when; 1 read the
communication I observed the spelling
was so bad and the grammar so incor
rect, and that General Washington had
forgotten so many essential facts in
the history of our government, I de
clined to follow his advice. And I dis
covered the General had not only adopt
ed the bad spelling and grammar and
incorrect history of the party to whom
he had sent the message, but had gone
on and adopted all his political preju
dices and joined his political party. I
firmly refused to follow a Washington
who .was so subject to unworthy influ
ence. I think I did right. A man
might.as well turn Hessian, and be done
with it, as to follow the political advice
of a degenerate Washington who has
forgotten the history of his country^
The thing is not to be thought of.
will not do at all. It were better
be a Bull Moose and paw up the dlrf
and bellow at the sight of the federal
constitution. I Just could not get m
consent to follow any such Washtngto
Seriously: Some people are fond
saying, “There is something in spirit
ualism”. No doubt there is. There ii
in it whatever is put in it; and one
gets out what he puts in. No more. A
talking James is no more than an echc
of Hyslop. Simply this and nothing
more.
