Bean the /} The Kind You Haw Always Bought Wife or Mother===Which? “The truth is that some women are mothers and some wives; very few are both.” The listeners to this declaration sat still looking at the speaker and at each other. There was assent in the faces, though there was no sound of the voices. “Is it not true,” continued the first speaker, “that a baby, when it comes, makes almost every wo man all mother? She lives, moves and has her being for that baby. Baby rules her every movement. She too often ceases to be even a housekeeper.” “Well,” asked a soft voice, “should she not be a mother be fore everything else?” “No,” was the emphatic res ponse. “She should be a wife first and mother second.” “Now, we cannot settle this question, or rather you two can only settle your own opinion more firmly, and that’s not necessary,” laughed the third member of the party. “The important point is, is it true?” Is it true? Are there not homes where husband finds that his place is filled by the first baby, and each following one pushes him more and more into the back ground? He is expected to sub mit to the usurpation without comment. He finds that the every thought of his wife is for the baby whose small wants, it would seem might be supplied, and his health and happiness maintained, with out absorbing so large a part of the wife’s care and attention. Is it true, as is sometimes as serted, that husbands are often jealous of their own children? If it is true, does it not follow that there is a cause?-that the husband in whom 1 , perhaps, there is more of the lover than the father, needs always the companionship of the woman he loves? —that because he loves her, lie is not willing that she should not simply become the mother of his children! A man commenting on a wife and mother who had a remarkable husband and remarkable children, but of whom you always thought first as the wife of her husband, said: “That woman has the art of being a wife. Her children never drove her husband out of her mind for a moment; he was always first. How many women ever stand in their own homes as she does? She is first in their hearts, their thoughts. She is the center from which all draw their inspiration, or think they do. Why? Because she has kept her place first as the wife of her husband. Those chil dren saw their father first in their mother’s thoughts, their mother first in their father’s thoughts. They learned always that this love was the first, and the love for the children the second love. The house was run for the family; but if one person must take precedence it was the father, because his place and work were of first im portance to the home and the world. The children are well mannered because they never for a moment suppose themselves of the first importance. They were allowed to choose, collectively or individually, where choice affect ed them only. Their education was of great importance to the pa rents, and the children understood this. Never, in that home, was any r important decision affecting the life of a child the decision 'of one parent. Nor was discipline the law of one. The parents con sulted when the act of the child demanded.” It is the unity of thought and common interest that makes family life perfect. The greatest blunder a woman can make is to thrust her husband in the background of her thought, or give him a second place ,n the home, or permit him to take the attitude that the children are hers. The wise woman, without conten tion, compels recognition of the fact that the children are theirs, and that children’s best interests can be served only the moral in telligence of father and mother is directing their training. The woman who has the art of THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1902. being a wife has usually the fine art of motherhood. The wife who is first, last and always a mother is neither wife nor mother to per fection. —The Outlook. A TEXAS WONDER. HALL'S GREAT DISCOVERY.

Whitxki.l. Man. Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of microbes. .Sorrow and headache follow him all the days of his life. He hoppeth from his bed in the morning and his foot is pierced by the tack of disappointment. He sittetli himself down to rest at noonday and is lacerated in his nether anatomy by the pin of dis aster. He walketh through the streets of the city in the pride and glory of his manhood, and slippeth on the banana peel of misfortune and unjointeth his neck. He is stung by the mosquitoes of annoyance by day and his frame is gnawed by the bed bugs of alllic tion by night. What is a man but the blind worm of fate? —seeing that his days are numbered by the cycles of pain and his years by sfeasons of mourning. In his infancy he runneth over with worms and colie, and in his old age he groaneth with rlieumu tism and and ingrowing toe nails. He marryeth a cross-eyed wo man because her Pa lias a bank account, and findeth she is ridden with hysteria and believeth in witches. He exalteth himself among the people and swelleth with pride, but when the votes are counted he finds he was not in it. He trusteth in a man who claimeth to be filled with right ousness and standeth high in the synagogue and gets done up. For behold his pious friend is full of guile and runneth over with deception. From the cradle to the grave man giveth his alms to him that smiteth him. His seed multiplieth around him and crieth for bread, and if his sons cometh to honor he knoweth it not.

CONDENSED STORIES. The “Congressional Quartet” and Its Limited Repertory. A number of representatives went down the river early in the season to visit one of the numerous rod and gun club houses that prevail in that vicinity. Fishing wasn't very good and amusements palled, so the “congressional quartet” was formed. It was composed of Speaker Hen derson of lowa and Representatives Landis and Overstreet and Sergeant at Arms Ransdell of the senate, all of whom come from Indiana. There was a long discussion as to what the quartet should sing. The three Indianians voted solidly for “On the Banks of the Wabash” and filibustered against any other song. Asa consequence the quartet sang the “Wabash” song seven times in rapid succession. Then by some skillful maneuvering Speaker Hen derson subdued the state pride of the Hoosiers, and the quartet sang “There Is a Hole In the Bottom of the Sea.” No vote could be obtained on any other song, and the quartet alter nated these songs for three days. There was a great demand for the services of the quartet after the re turn to Washington, but it was im possible to secure an increase in its repertory. The Hoosiers say the “Wabash” is the only song ever written, and, while they allowed the speaker to have his “Bottom of the Sea” song once in awhile as a per sonal compliment, they would not go a step further than that.—Wash ington Letter. Tenderness of a Great Soldier. Here is a little story which illus trates the nobility of feeling in the late General Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate forces during the war of the rebel lion: It was at the close of the battle of Gettysburg. As General. Lee rode from the field he came upon a “HUItKAH FOB THE UNION!’’ young Union soldier, a mere hoy, lying on the grass, wounded. The boy, though painfully hurt and un able to rise, lmd a spirit not to be quenched. As he recognized the Confederate uniform he raised him self upon his elbow. “Hurrah for the Union!” he cried defiantly, though with feeble voice. General Lee got down from his horse, went over to the boy and laid his hand tenderly on his head. “I hope, my son,” lie said, “that you are not much hurt and that you will soon he well.” A Literal Interpretation. At a ministers’ meeting recently Rev. Dr. Kainsford was telling of the futility of trying to comfort persons in distress with Bible texts. “I had an experience in my early career,” he said, “which made such an impression on me that it has saved rne from many mistakes. Whenever I tried to persuade an Irish member of my flock to pay more attention to his church duties he would make an excuse that it took him all his time to earn a liv ing and would touch my heart by his explanation of the difficulty of making money. “But,” I exclaimed, “a man does not live by bread alone.” “No, your reverence,” replied Patrick, “sure he needs a bit of meat and vegetables as well.” “Since that time,” said the doc tor, “I have resisted the temptation to ladle out cant in place of human sympathy and concrete aid.”—New York Press. Kicked Out a Lords’ Bill. Edmund Burke complained on one occasion that he had been treat ed with disrespect by the house of lords, having been kept waiting three hours by that supercilious as sembly when he was acting as envoy of the house of commons. The members of that body were so en raged that when a bill came from the lords the speaker threw it on the floor, and a crowd of members literally kicked it out. Do You Know Uneeda Biscuit ? Climate of Alaska. An English physician has lately reported on the diseases prevalent in Alaska, after a residence of six teen months in the country. There are two seasons, winter, the season of packing ice; summer, the sea son of swamps. The winter lasts for nine months, the summer for three. Among human miladies cerebro-spinal-meningitis is very prevalent, sometimes in epidemic, sometimes in sporadic form. It is often difficult to distinguish from the cerebral form of typhoid. Scorbutus is also widespread. Rheumatism is frequent, and usu ally takes the neuralgic type. In flammatory rheumatism is rare. Pneumonia is almost unknown, strange to say. Affections of the digestion are very frequent, owing to poor food; nervous diseases, such as locomotor ataxia, etc., are also frequent. Alcoholism and the like are prevalent, due to the ennui of the long winter, but on whole, intemperance is less harm ful in Alasku than in more south ern climates. Insanity is by no means rare, and it declares itself most frequently in winter, owing to ennui, absence of occupation, lack of exercise and isolation. Its usual form is acute melancholia, almost always followed by acute mania. Suicidal mania is also frequent. Taken altogether, the catalogue of Alaskan diseases is a long one, and indicates that a vigorous physique and morale is required to assist them.

Spencer telle the following story of his attempt to corner a Christian Scientist: “Every time we met this Scien tist took occasion to scoff at med ical science and to dwell upon tin* wonders which could be perform ed through faith. ‘You are con vinced that through faith you can do anything?’ I said to him one day. “Yes,” he replied, “faith will move mountains.” A week later he was in my of fice with a swollen jaw due to a toothache. “What, you here?” I exclaimed with feigned astonish ment. “Oh, doctor,” he said, “I have suffered agony all through the night. I simply can’t stand this pain any longer.” “Have you tried faith?” I said to him. “You know you told me the other day that faith could move mountains.” “But this is a cavity, doctor; this is a cavity.”—New York Times.
