5 CEAT. Turning: the leaf of my Year Book of English Authors, I find these lines for April 28, and give them to you as ap propriate for this day of 1913: “The wind hath a language, I would I could learn. Sometimes ’tis soothing, and some times ’tis stern; Sometices it comes like a low, sweet song, And all things grow calm as the sound floats along. And the forest is lulled by the dreamy strain. And slumber sinks down on the wan dering main, And its crystal arms are folded in rest, An«f the tall ship sleeps on its heaving breast. And the billows leap up when the sum- * mons they hear, And the ship flies away, as if winged with fear. And’ when the moon rises the ship is no more. Its joys and its sorrows are vanished and o’er. And the fierce storm that slew it has faded away, Like the dark dream that flies from . the light of day.” LETETIA E. LANDON. There is a ! language of the wind and it has been using it most vigorously this month. There have been days of cut ting and bending and breaking, there have been days when the thermometer was registering the balmy breezes and their soft words were coaxing the more backward or timid flowers to come out and se what a beautiful world it is, the flowers listened to the siren call and Boreas laughed loud and long and snap ped their pretty heads off or withered the figs and peaches. Yes, this April has had the winds of March and of November as well as the fleecy clouds and warmth of May. Last week Atlanta was filled with devotees of grand opera and those sing ers whose vocal organs are as precious as their lives rejoiced in the sunshine and ozone. This week as they fill their contracts in more northern places they doubtless think of the “sunny south land”—and it’s a good thing they can not be here now or some illusions might be shattered. There is a wonderful congress on hand, however, the Sociological, and the delegates are probably thinking “Well, this may be the sunny south, but old Sol is not smiling right now.” This congress is a wonder, and I would rejoice to be able to take in every meeting, but even this wonderful cen tury has not devised a way for one to be in more than one place at a time and one’s brain becomes so weary that the speakers’ words fail to stay w r ith one. Yesterday I heard some notables from New York and Canada and thoroughly enjoyed all. Mr. Hobson was caught in a storm on the Chesapeake bay and failed to arrive in Atlanta. Mr. Love- joy, of New York, took his place. He said some really clever things and in such a way that he held his audience, although, as he said,* it’s hard to inter est disappointed people. I won!t try to give you even a synopsis of any of them, for they were not the sort to be shortened. One of the places today was filled by a negro man and as one of WOMAN SUFFERED TEN TEARS • From Nervousness Caused by Female Ills—Restored to Health by Lydia £. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. Auburn, N. Y. — “I suffered from nervousness for ten jfears, and had such organic pains that sometimes I would lie in bed four days at a time, could not eat or sleep and did not want anyone to talk to me or bother me at all. Some times I would suffer for seven hours at a time. Different doc tors did the best they could for me until four months ago I began giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound a trial and now I am in good health.” — Mrs. William H. Gill, 15 Pleasant Street, Auburn, New York. * Doctor’s Daughter Took It.” St. Cloud, Minn.—“ I was so run down byjoverwork and worry that I could not 6tand it to have my children talk aloud or walk heavy on the floor. One of my friends said, ‘Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, for I know a doc tor’s daughter here in town who takes jt and she would not take it if it were not good. ’ “ I sent for the Compound at once and kept on taking it until I was all right.” —Mrs Bertha M. Quickstadt, 727 5th Avenue, S., St. Cloud, Minn. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound may be relied upon as the most efficient remedy for female ills. Why don’t you try it? his hearers expressed it, “He could make you sit up and take notice.” His sub ject was the proper way for the white man and black one to treat each other. There was not a speech made in the city that was better, I am told. I re gret that I did not hear it. That race, after only fifty years of op portunity, are making a record; they do not need compulsory education laws. Schools are all they ask for and fifty years from now you, whose children arp out of school on any pretext, will see the injustice you have done your chil dren. See* to it that your crops this year are not estimated with their help In your mind. Don’t stop the children from school. “Under the sod and the dew Awaiting the judgment day” are the heroes of the four years of fractricidal strife. No history can ever fully portray the deeds of self-denial, or of splendid self-sacrifice, those bloody yearse beheld. Saturday the Con federate dead were honored and flow ers place on on the green sod covering their last resting place. Atlanta was one of the stricken cities whose soil was gory and whose homes were de stroyed. Every week I pass over the ground that was plowed with balls and roughened with the struggles of the battle of Atlanta. Hundreds who were then opposed even unto death are now, or their descendants,' side by side fol lowing paths of peace. The parade- this year was splendid and it made a tre mendous impression on visitors within her gates. Saturday, though -it was, stores were closed and every one given a chance to pay their tribute to the d'ead. The commercial spirit of Atlanta is progressive and her ambition boundless, but her tribute to the heroes of a Lost Cause splendid. Sunday afternoon as I looked over the vast audience- that the Sociological speakers drew J was glad that the contrast between that number and those who the evening be fore heard the music would not be mor tifying. I have seen that vast building when there wasn’t standing room, and a preacher drew them. I think that this conservative, yet deeply religious spirit is one of the chief reasons for Atlanta’s successes. God looks into the heart of her multitude and sees rever ence and gratitude and blesses the city. “Yes, I know there Is a great deal of sin and greed and cruelty, but a bit ter struggle is going on all the time be tween the powers of Darkness and the children of Ligh't. I have called many places home, have always tried to thoroughly enter into the spirit and good work of the place in which I lived and' I rejoice to be able to say that it is my candid opinion that each year sees the world growing better. Higher ideals are before the people and the good of humanity, as a mass, is more sincerely considered. As one of the speakers said yesterday: “The law of Sinai interpreted by Cal vary for the brotherhood of man” is the basis on which to work, and it is won derful how much is being done. Of course, there are daily happenings that startle Us, and the papers are some times too free with awful details, but for every crime that startles the world, or the small part of it ip which we live, there* are a dozen blessings being shared. A great many speak of the past as if perfection dwelt therein. We see flaws in the people close to us, and forget that things afar off always look better. There is one sort of blind ness God tolerates and that is the sort that leads us to see only the ^good in people* 1‘When thou hast thanked thy God For every blessing sent. What time will then remain For murmurs or lament?” My Lady Disdain says that there are blessings sent, but that we too often snatch them so hurriedly that we spoil them and have not even a pleasant memory. She says that half the people fail to recognize blessings and are sat isfied with the common-place. That she is often bored by the things another raves about. I say she contradicts her self; she says the people hug delusions instead of cherishing blessings.” What, say you, dear friends? With all good wishes for you and yours. I am. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. WHILE THE RAIN FALLS. Donr Household: As this is Saturday, and a rainv afternoon at that. I will lay aside my crocheting and chnt a while, as writing never did draw, m.v eyelids as close together as crocheting and reading, and especially when I used to write to ray sweetheart; but now I am an old married woman—the term generally u*e<l for married women, even if they are yet very young. . . Well, 1 am not as young as I used to oe, and not as old as some: still I have a few gray strands. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and do not weigh one hundred. While I do not know a well day. my health is much better than it*was when I first wrote to this corner. My husband and I both have malaria, and if any one can tell us what will cure us we will be so proud. We take quinine and have taken other medicines, only to get temporary relief. We want something that will effect a cure, i This lovely rain makes the thirsty flowers, plants nnd grass look pretty. The farmers are I rejoicing. I know, nnd will go whistling to | their fields Monday morning. I The recent cold has hurt some things in this section. Corn and potatoes were up and they were cut down. Perhaps some garden truck was hurt, too. People in town never know how much the country people are hurt: never theless, we know enough to sympathize and have more feeling for them than many a farm- mer imacines we have. Most of us once lived on the farm. If we didn’t, our fathers did: and if they didn’t, our grandfathers did.. And how we liked to go to the country to eat. fruit and watermelons, or go nutting! Yes. and we all love the country, with its pure air, luscious fruits,, cool water and excellent milk. And we love the farmer, his wife and children. I understand there are Feltons in Georgia, near’ Atlanta, who lmigrated from Gates county, iq North Carolina, and we are almost sure some were my husband’s people. His father’s 'name was William Felton. He was very wealthy before the war, being a large land owner in Perqulnnius county. He had one brother named Richard; he was the wealthiest man in the county, and saved Wake Forest college from the hands of others by giving money to pay off a debt, and almost More than 250,000 people have saved from $100 to J150 on a high grade piano and from 825 to $50 on a first cla88^Drgan la purchasing by the Lornish plan—why shouldn’t you?

He placed him in his house as a servant. Joseph did not grumble about having to work—it would have done him no good. He accepted a bad situation and did his best to make the most of it. He was beginning to learn one of the lessons God had to teacn him. He had talked too much before, and he was going to keep his mouth shut now. He had been proud, because petted; this discipline would teach him the great truth that by humility we rise, and by pride we fall. The humble shall be exalted. Without that discipline the proud youth would have grown into an unbearable man. Joseph made himself so invaluable in the house that the general began to rec ognize what a treasure he had secured, and after a time placed him in charge of all that he had, made him his private secretary and confidential clerk. In this Position he continued for several years. At about twenty-five years of age he had grown to be exceedingly handsome, and thrown intimately in the family life with his general’s wife, she became in fatuated with this fair-skin young He brew although he had not given her any cause for it whatsoever. You remember the story of the fearful temptation to which he was subjected; the way he met it, and of his unjust im prisonment. STILL FAITHFUL. He must have burned with indignation over that dungeon experience. An Egyp tian dungeon was no pleasant place un der any circumstances, but to be placed there unjustly and to be unable to de fend himself (for in loyalty Joseph could not tell his master the whole truth—he could but deny the charge against him, which he did), was unbearable in^the ex treme. But never a murmur did he make. He proved such a model prisoner (for he had determined again to make the most of a bad situation) that the jailer soon allowed him certain ibertlies and finally placed him in charge x>f all that was done there. Finally there came into the prison two of the highest officers in the kingdom. Pharaoh had been taken suddenly ill, and it was thought probably that there was a plot to poison him. Such things were quite common in those days. It could not be ascertained at first wheth er it had emanated from the service of the chief butler or the chief baker; so both were thrown into prison pending an investigation. Being persons of high position they were placed in a private portion of the prison and Joseph was designated to minister to them. I have no doubt but that it was a welcome change to Joseph which did much to relieve the ennui # of prison life. He had learned much of the customs and persons in high life in Egypt during the many years he served in General Potiphar’s house; and to be thrown with these two high officials must have brought back some of those associations and added new interest to his life, now so In tensely monotonous. He no doubt heard them discussing the reasons for their imprisonment, and without doubt both protested their in nocence. But Joseph was a close ob server and noted the difference between the two men*—one open-faced and hon est, the other reserved and keen-eyed. OBSERVANT AND SYMPATHETIC. Joseph was not only very observant, but he had a broad human sympathy. Outside the prison (and the rumors of it no doubt seeped through the open ings into the prison cells) great prep arations were being made for the cele bration of Pharaoh's birthday. Such ocasions meant much in the life of the ancient courts, and were frequently oc casions on which the monarch displayed his appreciation by granting pardon to many prisoners. These things had been coursing through the minds of these two pris oners of state. They had no doubt talked about it for many days. One morning just three days before the celebration was to take place their thought crystallized in a dream in the case of each of them; but the dreams troubled them for they could not fig ure out the interpretation for them selves, and being in prison it was noc possible for them to secure the serv ices of any of the many soothsayers in Egypt. When Joseph came in die noticed the changed expressions and as he did his work detected the sadness and per plexity of their faces. His heart went out to them; they were prisoners like himself; he was suffering as they were; and possibly they as unjustly as he. His human sympathy expressed itself finally in asking them what was the trouble. And when he learned it was only a dream or two, and that they could not get in touch with the soothsayers, he comforted them. His word reveals the great secret of his life—the consciousness of the constant presence of God. God only could in terpret dreams, and since He was with him, he asked them to tell him what the dreams were, having the assurance of things hoped for—that God would speak through him to them. I do not know anything more re freshing than Joseph’s faith in the everpresent God. It had not been dimmed by the years of servitude in a heathen land nor by the hardships of an unjust imprisonment. On the contrary, it had been accentuated. Jo seph knew that God was with him, and all was right therefore. That young man of 28 years was in con stant fellowship with God; he knew God would, reveal His secrets to him. The dreams were told him. The honesty and openfacedness of the chief butler revealed itself in his dream, and to him Joseph spoke words of cheer. He was to be free on the king’s birthday three day*/later, and restored to his office. T.he investigation would show that he Avas innocent of any plot to take the life of the ruler. Then Joseph pleaded for himself, proclaim ing his innpcence and asking the great influence of such a high official that he might have justice done him. The baker had been listening very attentively. He knew his guilt, but he hoped for as favorable an inter pretation to his dream as had been given to the butler. His keen eyes had been watching all the while. So he is emboldened to tell his dream. But Joseph had been watching him, and soon detected in the thieving birds the evidence of his guilty conscience. It was a hard thing to have to be the bearer of bad news, but his duty was plain and he did it. All came true as he said. But he was forgotten two full years. For gotten? Yes, by the one whom he had befriended, but not by God. Hp was still assured of the conscious ness of God’s presence, and he did not grumble. That was the secret of his life—that God was with him and kept him right, and sweet, and faithful; and it was the source of strength and wisdom that made of him the man that he grew to be. That consciousness may be yours, too. God grant that is shall be. paid for building the First Baptist rhurch in a little town (at that time) in Eerqtiinnius county or some nearby county. He and my husband’s father both died poor men by in dorsing notes to help other people. Uncle Richard was buried near the church he built, and a small monument was erected to his memory, which of late has been broken off. If. any of the readers are relatives of these men I would like to hear from them. I wonder if there are many Household writers who spend their spare time crocheting and em broidering? All the time I have to spare I spend that way. I don't mean to say I do not read, be cause I do; but that isn’t spare time; that is reading time, iind I have writing time, too. But my time, aside from my reading, writing, chicken tending, etc. You know we women who are not very rich have a hundred and one chores around the home. But hack to my subject. I embroidered some nice pieces last winter In rice stitch, that is lovely work. I crocheted quite a number of pieces, too. I like to make my own lace to trim my pillow cases with. Now I am crochet ing a buureau spread. I am making the Mal tese braid and am going to use it and the rick-rack together. I think it will be very pretty. Besides crocheting for myself, I get orders from people and make for women’s exchanges. I enjoy doing it. although it is confining; but now I can get out on the piazza in the lovely sunshine, where I can hoar the mocking bird jiour out its notes of praise and thanksgiving, while I often think how It performs its duty and how short we come of ours. Wishing the whole band of readers a pros perous summer, I bid adieu. MRS. RICHARD FELTON. AFTER COOKING TWO DINNERS Dear Household: I gues sit is about time I was paying you another visit if I don’t want to be forgotten. So I will write And let you know that I am stll navigating and that I still enjoy the Household and read every letter and each time I read Chat I resolve to write at once, but somehow I keep putting it off and every one knows how easy that is to do. * I am very much interested in my chickens right now, and when I tell you of a little ex perience I had this inorniing you will think that I am daft on the subject. My dinner was* almost done (I am the cook) when “the man” cak'd me and said there were three hens at the barn ready to come off. Well, I dropped every thing and rushed out to help take them off, and what a pretty sight they were! Each hen had fourteen lovely downy chicks and I was so proud of them I stayed there longer than I Intended to and when I got back my •1 inner was burned to a crisp. Just think of it, and I had a good dinner, too. There was nothing to do but sta:t It all over again. You don’t know how hard it was to do that unless you’ve done it. Of course, I was vexed, but I soon cooled off. I have one hundred chicks and seven hens sitting 1 have twenty-five large enough to fry. I could get good prices for them now, but I have none* to sell We have lots of com pany, and 1 always want chicken on my bill of fare. I took a pleasant stroll with iny John this morning down by a babbling brook. Nat. our faithful shepherd, caught a terrapin, and he! got furious because he could not bite the thing. ■ lie* labored with i* a long time, and finally , • left It in disgust. Our fruit crop will bo almost a failure this year. There are a l’ew peaches, but I expect by the time this cold wind changes they will s be finished, too, but I won’t borrow trouble, i fetrawberies are very promising we have a I very fine variety and they must do instead of I peaches. Miss Thomas, my garden is ahead of yours. We have had cabbage for nearly a month. Yoi certainly are gardening under difficulties. I think I would hang that calf, or exchange it for a dog and put It in. the garden to catch those troublesome rabbits. I don’t mean to take up al lour space and will close by asking every man and woman who has ever written to this page to Immediately write again. Sincerely, LUCILE. THOSE BUSY TWINS. Dear Miss Thomas: Those babies, some little chickens and the garden have kept me from writing, but I’ve not missed reading the letters and your words. Indeed, I’ve had some hearty laughs over your experiences. Those two acres are keeping-you busy, and a little bird told : me that the roses are back on your cheeks. We rejoice in your change from a desk to a garden, if it makes you stronger again. I haven’t a calf to tear things up ; ours is in the pasture and will one of these days go to the butcher. Two babies are enough to run after, and it seems of late that they have be come daft on the subject of the nests. I know there should be china eggs, but when every nickel counts for as much as a quarter: to some folks, you can understand the wherefore of the tbusness. Yesterday I had arrayed them in their last clean clothes and had seated them in the swing with very plain instructions to stay there. Of course I expected to keep my eyes on them and dress at the same time. But a squawk told me something was wrong in the chicken yard, and out I flew. They flew, too, I learned later. When I had settled the fracas I heard a soft voice say, “Oo-oo-oo dirty baby!” and the epithet fitted. A hen’s nest had been robbed and the eggs squeezed, or the attempt made to carry one ns the kitten usually is hung on the arm, but the result was disas trous. One of the recent letters told how one mother did all of her work and went when she had a chance. My chance to go that time looked very dim, but I didn’t 'do a thing but put on the soiled dress I had taken off, covered it with a lijtle coat and went just the same. How true It is that one never knows what she will -come to. I had no idea I’d ever “cover up a dirty dress,” but that babg had to go or her mother stay at home, and going comes too seldom for her to do that. I’ve got a hen that distresses me. She is a big, gentle creature, and one of the babies politely straddled her and took a seat. I thought life was marked out for her, and wish it had been, for she now looks like a penguin, or kangaroo, or anything else that w'addles along with part of its body on the ground. I suppose the hen must eventually be killed. I’ve been hoping she would recover, but not so. I never have spanked them for a first offense. They have so much to learn—things here are so different from Babyland; but a fter I tell them so that I think they really understand that a thing is forbidden, then I impress it physically as well as mentally. Seldom does that happen, though their capacity for finding new mischief is wonderful. One of them has taken up the soap-eating habit. It’s turpen tine soap* that proves the stronger temptation, and the hired man—yes, we’ve a hired man this year—and his soap at the well must be put beyond the reach of tiptoes. I know there must he something lacking in a child’s system to make it crave such a dose, but we can’t “hit the spot” with anything we have tried. But one thing is certain: neither of them will ever know the taste of tobacco 4n any of its forms if The habit has to be learned at home. I often think of the poor little fellow that Ala bama Mary told us about. It's a shame. But this letter must stop right here. Sincerely, MBS. ALEXANDER.

SUFFRAGETTES ROUNDED UP BE ENGLISH POLICE Mrs, Drummond and Associ ates Are Re-arrested When Headquarters Are Raided (By Associated Press.) AUGUSTA, Ga., May 1.—White office today inaugurated its active cam paign to put an end to suffragette mili tancy. Headquarters of the women’s social and political union, where many outrages were said to have been planned, was occupied by the police and all* the active leaders taken into custody. Even “General” Mrs. Flora Drummond and Miss Annie Kenney, who were out cn bail, were arrested on a fresh charge of conspiring with the members of the Pankhurst family to commit malicious damage. Over 100 policemen and detectives from Scotland Yards were engaged in the capture of the militant offices. They had scarcely taken possession of the place when “General” Drummond, ap parently ignorant of what had happened, arrived and was admitted, not realizing that she had voluntarily entered the lion’s den until she found herself under arrest. Miss Barbara Kerr, the secretary of Woman's. Social and Political the union; Misses Lane, Lennox and Bar rett and Mrs. Saunders, the officials of the society, who were in charge of the offices at the time, of the ' raid, were arrested and a large quantity of documents was seized. , Several typists and clerks were or dered to leave the premises, which were then closed, and policemen left on guard. The ' women arrested were charged with conspiracy or with violations of the malicious damages act. CONSPIRACY? Archibald Bodkin, counsel for the treasury, prosecuted on behalf of the government. He said the proceed ings involved a charge of conspiracy and had been taken to bring to an end “a state of affairs which has become dangerous to the civilized portion of the community in the British isles.” Mr. Bodkin intimated that still more serious charges might be brought against the prisoners when the police had completed their investigations into the “nefarious practices” of the organ ization. He warned aiders and abettors of the society as well as its contributors, among whom are • many American women. “I desire to give fair public warn ing,” he said, “that if any person makes a speech in encouragement * of this cause, proceedings will be taken against the speaker. If those who have money cannot find a better use for it than giving it to this organization for .the commission of crime they .will be prosecuted.” There W’ill be no issue of the official newspapers of the militant suffragettes tomorrow because the police arresting the two women editors and carried off all the type set up for tomorrow’s num ber. The women say the raid had been expected and they had removed most of their valuable belongings to two empty houses they had in reserve in case of emergency. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont visited the suffragette centers today. She reached the headquarters of the Woman’s Social and Political union too late to be in cluded among those arrested. Mrs. Belmont has joined the National Suffrage Movement of London.

I MANY ARMY OFFICERS ARRESTED IN PORTUGAL (By Associated Press.) LISBON, May 1.—Among those un der arrest here for participation in the anti-governmental disorders on Sunday are General Faute Guedes, Captains Andreia Font and Serejo and twenty other commissioned officers, together with numerous non-commissioned offi cers. Many of th<? prisoners have been placed in qells on board the Porftiguese cruiser Alimirante Reis. EL PASO, May 1.—Unlike Captain Kidd’s buccaneers of the Spanish Main, Francisco Villa’s insurgents disdain to bury their booty. With them over steep mountain trails and sandy prairie roads they are carrying nearly $100,000 wortn of silver and gold bullion, weighing near ly a ton. This was reported by Ameri can ranchmen arriving here today from the Madera district, where Villa is op erating. The treasure was captured some days ago from a Mexican Northwestern pas senger train bound for Chihuahua City ' from the Guerrero mining district. The weighty metal is packed in a wag- 1 on drawn by a team of mules. Beside the wagon ride ten guards picked from’ Villa’s 200 odd followers. It is considered a daring adventure to ! come within rifle range of the treasure wagon. The actual value of the metal is estimated at 180,000 pesos. Despite strong pressure of the consti tutionalist Juntas along the border that Villa return the metal to its American. owners, the ex-bandit, who was made a general In Madero’s revolution, appears most unwilling to Part with his spoil. One American owner has set out alone to attempt to persuade Villa to return his portion of the metal pigs, which chanced to be almost pure gold.
