Addams, of Hull House
fame; Julia Lathrop, Dr. Cornelia I "to Bey,

nell. All are “bachelor girls.” A prominent
Chicago politician is quoted a.s saying;
"It’s lucky for us they never got married
and had children of their own. We’d have
been cut out. Now, we’re right in it.
There’s not another city in the country
that’s got five maiden aunts, healthy
and active—worrying about it all the
time.”
As a result of this •’worrying” (which
Is carried on in the quietest, most wo
manly way). Chicago has been blest with
reformed street-cleaning methods, re
formed child labor laws, peaceful adjust
ment In strikes where dissension and
riot seemed imminent investigation and
correction of asylum abuses, and a larger
voice on the part of women in the man
agement of school methods and indus
trial systems.
All this has been effected without any
lobbying, any “pul's,” inducements or
pibrnises of aid in influencing- votes. It
has been done by the personal activity
the quiet persistence, and the eloquence,
backed by thorough information, of these
five women. They interested themselves
in public affairs not for gain or glory,
or through friendship for individuals'
•hut because the people’s welfare neded
that some unselfish person should inter
fere. In 1904, when the long strike had
produced demoralization among the. strik
ers and suffering to their families, when
the strikers were ready to give in, but
Armour, the great pork king, refused to
listen to them, it was Dr. Cornelia De
Bey—a slight delicate woman, who had
no acquaintance with Air. Armour and
no personal friend among the strikers,
•who saved the situation by seeing Mr.
Armour and inducing him to talk with
the leaders of the strikers and arrange
an adjustment of the distressing diffi
culty.

scholar; nevertheless, I did not -believe 1
in uny of the bookB except the math
ematics. Also, I bad my leelings narrow
ed uip dreadfully, in revival meetings, by
anxious friends who were trying to lead
me Into the narrow path of salvation;
but I never could be converted or made
to feel afraid of a God of love and good
ness. Once I had a vision of the dnferno-
eternal fires, sulphurous fumes, yelling
victims, grinning devils—all the drama
of dread—that haunted my memory long
afterwards. But 1 awoke and looked out
upon tlie beautiful world at sunset with
an expanse of calm water before me
and felt supremely glad that it was all
a dream, and that God was my Father—
a Father of infinite love and mercy.
Geology, with ali its long-drawn-out
ages and cycles and eons, passes alto
gether beyond my comprehension. Even
six thousand years is too far back for
me to remember. I’ll not waste my
thought-force trying to puzzle it out—
particularly these languid days. I'll taka

the loveliness of the heart affections and
the truth of imagination.
G. W.. you say you believe the Bible
from cover to cover, and that you ac
cept without a doubt the apostles' creed
and the plan of redemption. How do;
you stand according to the test, given by i
Jesus In the last part of St. Mark's
gospel? After saying that none shall ba
saved but those who believe, Jesus goes
on to declare. "And these signs shall
fellow those that believe. In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues: they shall take
up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
thing it shall not hurt them: they shall
.’.ay hands on the sick and they shall re
cover.”
Now, G. W., are you one of such be
lievers? Do you know any one who
measures up to this standard—fulfills,
these requirements? Those who most ]
stubbornly insist on a literal interpreta- j
tion of the scriptures here deny that
Christ meant, exactly what He said. Or.

THE FARMER TRANSCENDENT.
(To Dur Farmer Householders.)
The farmer’s in the ^saddle now.
And when he comes to town
The rest of us by rights should go
Way hack and then sit down.
“Go way hack" to our counting rooms,
"Sit down anil order goods.”
For the dollars now are coming
From all the neighborhoods.
So gather up your yard-sticks,
Lubricate your scales.
To measure off the calicoes
And w *igh the cotton bales.
The man who wrestles with the plow
And leads in raising truck,
Who makes hi® bow to Madam Cow,
Is now in greatest luck.
Butter's on the upper grade.
Hems higher than a kite.
Pork has rim way up the scales |
And beefsteak's out of sight.
The corn crop brings a handsome price,
Wheat’s here to have its say.
All kinds of money i® raked in
With ever*.- ion of bay.
Tliej say we are indebted
For this generosity .
To the trusts and eke the tariff
And trade's strenuosity.
Blit we near-sighted plodders.
Thank High heaven and earth below
For the sunshine and the showers
And the man who wields the hoe.
We doff our hats and clear the track
When "hay seed” drives a tandem;
Be he coming in or going back.
We let him go at random.

Owing to the density of the water a
crowbar will hardly sink in the Great
Salt lake. People who drown in the lake
never sink. The body floats to the ob
scure shore of some island—only to be
found years later pickled by the brine.
You will see people wading out to any
deptli they like abov,. the ankh-p. Here
they lie on their backs and float, for
even the most expert swimmers find it
impossible to make any headway by
swimming. One has to combat the al
most irresistible desire to turn over on
the face. If the water gets into the eyes,
nose or mouth asphyxiation will result
before help can reach the unfortunate
one. DURWARD.
HIS FIRST “CHAW.”
“Yes.' said (in pineywoods youth, who
was sitting astride an empty keg in
front of tiie cross roads store. "I ll al
ways recolleck my first chaw of ter-
backer. i was a chap ’bout 9 years old. I
took a notion T was gittin to be a man
and ought to chaw terbacker like all the
other grown ups. I crawled under the
bed where pap kept his box er terbacker
(be bought a box every month) and took
out a whole plug without bein’ ketched
at it. anti then I slipped away to the
barn to chaw my terbacker and enjoy
myself. I felt like I was big as any
feller in tiie country when I bit off a
mouthful offen the plug and laid bacK
on the hay to chaw at my leisure. I got
through with that quid and I took an
other, and pretty soon I began to feel
awful curus. My head went round like a
top; the old mule in the lot and the
rooster was a walkin’ on their backs and
the chaney tree was standin’ upside
(lonfi. I got worse an' worse; I was sick
all over; and bimeby everything inside
er me come right up. 1 wanted co go to
nia and have her to do somethin' fer me,
but I was scared of a floggin’. and be
sides I was too sick to walk. I lost count
of myself after a while and when I
come to I heard old Doc Davis a-sayin,
'He'll soon be all right now.' I was in
nia's bed and she and pap and the doc "
was standin’ roun" me. Pap held up that
old plug of terbacker where I’d bit off
tiie two chaws (they’d found it in my
pocket) an' he looked at me, frownin',
but nia kissed me and I burst out cryin’
and pretty soon T was drinkin’ a cup of
nice hot coffee. I didn't get any floggin’
for that day's doins, but I'd got punish
ment enough. I ain’t ever took a chaw of
terbacker senee."
