> “Widow Woman”
Correct?
TR A
By Professor T. R. Lounsbi.ry. é
UMEROUS indesd are the motives which have led and still
lead men to resort to expletives. Certain of those now in
3 N use contain little more than a repetition of the same idea
expressed by two different words. A part of the compound
has become obsolete or archaic; hence it needs or needed
to have its meaning strengthened. Luke, for instance,
' w meant “tepid”; but as it came to be somewhat untgmillar,
the sense was brought out with precision by adding to it
warm, Different from this, though possibly allied to it, may
be the attributive use of widow in the expression widow woman. The second
word of the combination is glearly unnecessary; but it may not have been
always 80. The difference of the final vowel in the original Anglo-Saxon words
constituted the sole distinetion between widuwa a “widower” and widuwe &
“widow,” When the levelling processes that went on after the Conquest
gave to both these words the same ending -e, a natural way to fix definitely the
idea of femininity, before -er was added to create the masculine form, would
be to append “woman” to the common word, If this were so, it would be
almost inevitable that the combination would survive long after the necessity
for it had disappeared. However this may be, the expression has subsisted
for centuries in our speech. When in our version of the Bible the woman
of Tekoah telig King David, “I am indeed a widow woman, and mine hus
band is dead,” we are supplied in the same short sentence with illustrations
of two different sorts of expletives. For the one, the original Hebrew is
necessarily responsible; for the other, the sixteenth-century translators. The
Wycliffite version of the fourteenth century had “woman-widow.” But what
ever the origin, the expression has ecome down to the present time. Nor is
it confined, as s often asserted, to colloquial speech. To cite oue instance
out of many, it is used in Barnaby Rudge by Dickens, when speaking in his
own person. ‘‘To find this widow woman,” he says, . . .“linked mysterious
ly with an ill-omened man , . .was a discovery that pained as much as
startled him.,”—Harper’s Magazine,

They and Nature Smile While Wall Street
Groans Under the Knife. .

IME was when if Wall Street sneezed it sent the farmers of
the country to the banks to beg that their mortgages be not
foreclosed. Now Wall Street sneezes and yells and shouts
and kicks wp a devil of a fuss—in Wall 'Street—and the
o farmer follows the plough, the wheat grows, the chickens
lay abundantly, the stock increases, all nature smiles in
- peace and plenty, and the farmer buys autos and gives not
— K a rap for Wall Street. s
The wires are broken. The farmer is not interested,
for Wall Street has ceased to he the barometer of the nation’s prosperity.
The barometer has been moved elsewhere, Wall Street drops three billicns in
values and the farmer reads of such “terrible doings” with a chuckle and
says: “Things are drmppin’ some in Wall Street und no mistake, b'gosh!”
No Dbetier time could have been selected to thrust the lance iato the
_Wall Street uleer; and no better period for the good of the public could have
“been chosen. It is, of course, hard upon the innocent investor, especially
the “common investor,” who bought wind and water and nothing else; but
It was a case of caveht emptbr, ' The man at the White House—well, has he
not done the national body a good service, just as does the gurgeon to the

x’ooomo O most people who' have had a real childhood, not cramped
by overwork, physical or mental, or starved by sordidness,
: or filled with an intellectuality beyond their years, “Alice’s
Adventures In Wonderland” are not far afieqld, the chil
dren of Mr. Kenneth Grahame's, “Gold Age” are real peo
ple; and “Peter Pan" is more than a delightful play. Lewis
Carroll and Mr. Grahame and Mr. Barrie have all told
the truth, because, with real children, things are always be
ing “made believe” just a little different from what they
actually are. Playing house in a fig-tree where vour roof is made by broad
leaves, and where wide branches make your floor, your successive stories,
your easy stairways; playing ship on a sofa or in an invalid’s chair; playing
street-cars w’th chairs for horses and quarrelling as to which child should
be conductor and which driver,—that wasg before the days of electricity;
playing that you are a horse eating hay in your stall, “a real horse, you
know,” as a child said to me last summer: playing wild animals in the most
Bruesome places until you are paralysized with terror and afraid of your
self in the dark; “making beliéve” in every instance that you are grown up
or different from what you really are,—That is a wonderfully rich life.—

Federal Control of Rail
roads Defended.
AL SAL W B. M R B
By United States District Judge Amidon,
of North Dakota. : ,
: N ey )
Shdde oty T is impossible to maintain over carriers the manifold con
trol of the different States and the Federal government, he-
I cause it is impossible to separate local from through business
and because whenever the State prescribes a schedule of
rates for local business, it thereby directly and necessarily
mu% regulates interstate business as well, The necessary conse
’s’}"&"?"‘ quence is that either the nation must take control of com
& t:“: merce within the State, or States will take control of com
. merce between the States. State control of railroads will
re-establish State supremacy over interstate commerce, to prevent which
was the chief domestic cause for the adoption of the Constitution. Eitherto
State reguiation has been inefficient, and for that reason alone its localizing
power has not become manifest. It is now becoming organized, energetic,
and effective. If continued it will work its inevitable result. No rivalry can
surpass that of our commercial centres. and State governments, let their
authority be eflicient, will represent their own commerelal intervests. The
national government and the 3tates cannot preseribe rules to the same instru
mentality without being brought into constant confliet. This has already
brought us to the verge of civil war in North Carolina «nd been the occasion
of \ge sharpest acrimony in other States. Such a conflict must in the end
'in?mu*m ‘complete sypremacy of one authority or the other.—From Les.

THE TAGTFULNESS'
CF -ANNE, .
R e 4, ARI
At two o'clock Anne saili?g';forth
briskly by way of the front deor for
a walk, with all the curves in her
face turned gaily up, At fonr olelock
she returned slowly by way of the
back yard, wiih all the curves in her
face turned dejectedly down, . and
sought her mother, An hour' later
Hilda came on the two in golemn
councll, Anne sat, a wilted ‘heap,
on the couch, gazing forlornly at a
damp handkerchief in her lap.. Mrs.
Tupper’s eyes were grave, tyxt, her
lips, over which she laid a reprfgsing
hand, were in danser of smfi,ng as
she said] consolingly: : f
“Never mind, dear. You told her
exactly what she said she wanged to
know, and in the long run—l know
her so well—it wiil®* work out all
right.” ot |
“What's up?” demanded Hilda. ‘
“M-Mrs. Adams,” quavered Anns.
A big tear rolled down each cheek.!
“I couldn't help it. She askéd me,
and then when [ told her sh was
awfully angry.” ‘; |
Anne hunted a dry spot on her
handkerchief. Mrs. Tupper strug-l
gled with a smile, but Hilda drppped !
solidly into a chair'and cried:
“Anne Tupper! Mrs. Adams! For
pity’s sake what have you told #her?”
“S-she thought,” sobbed Anne,
“that no one suspected that shd col
ors her hair and-—and puts oh her
complexion and is t-fifty-——years])‘;)ld! >
“Anne Belinda Tupper,” shrieked
Hilda, with horror-stricken eyes, ‘“‘did
you tell her all that? Did you,
Anne?”
But Anne, beyond the power of
reply, fled down the hall and up the
stairs in a tempest of girlhood firief,
whils her older sister transferred the
horror-stricken gaze to the mother.
“It seems,” explained the wundis
turbed Mrs. Tupper, “that Mrs. Ad
ams has overheard some uncompli
mentary comments on her appear
ance. Consequently, this afterncon
she waylaid Anne, took her up-gtairs
behind closed doors, told her what
she had overheard, and. said, ‘Now,
Anne, I depend on you to tell me the
truth—' » : 3
Hilda threw out her hands in a ges
ture of despair. “The truth!” she in
terrupted. “It’s the last thing she
wanted to hear, and Anne ought to
have known it. Anne doesn’t under
stand people.”
Mrs., Tupper smiled inserutably.
“Well, it seems,” ghe finished, dryly,
“that Mrs. Adams asked for the truth |
and got it.” i
“Oh!” groaned Hilda. “Did Anne
tell her that people knew q\mas
fifty,#nd @yes W WA T und%ro M 2 ”‘
“Anne did,” afirmed her mother, |
“And that’s not gll, either.” i
Hilda sat up with a jerk. “Mother,
did Anne tell her about her dress?”
Mrs, Tupper nodded, still undis
turbed by the voleanic outbursts of
her elder: daughter. “She did just
that. You know Mrs. Adams dresses
like a giddy schoolgir[, and Anne told
her so.”
“Of course Irknow it,” cried Hilda,
“and so does every one elge! I never
saw such a ridiculous figure in my
life. Strangers simply go into con
vulsions over her appearance, but to
think that Anne should tell her! I
do wish that Anne had some tact
about her! She hasn’t a speck.”
“No,” acknowledged her mother,
“Anne is not tactful in your sense of
the word, but she is the scul of hon
esty, and she feels completely used
up“because Mrs. Adams is so angry.”
“Poor Anne!” cried Hilda, with a
sudden change of front. “Mt was a
bhard place to put her in!” and she
flew up-stairs to comfort her sistar, J
Anne, refusing comfort, wept unti!
tea-time, but after tea a lively game
of tennis, in which she came off vic
tor, drove all thought of her late
troubles from her mind, and caused
her to sleep soundly. .
But on Sunday morning her trou
bles again oppressed her in the form
of a haughty and distant Mrs. Adams,
who pointedly ignored not only Anne,
but Anne’s immediate relatives,
Mrs. ‘Adams occupied the pew in
front of the Tuppers. She did not
arrive that particular morning until
the beginning of the responsive read
ing. Then she rustled down the aisle,
a comedy of affected youth in her
reddish-black dyed hair, her whttefl
and-pink face, her strained eyes
guiltless’ of glasses, and her stout:
figure begirt in a gaily colored, rib
boned, ruffled, lace-yoked dres3. Mps.
Adams as a girl had been a popular
beauty. At fifty she might have been
equally popular, and equally beautiful
with the beauty belonging to middle
age, had she not chosen to ignore the
flight of the years. She had also per
suaded herself that others ignored
i, so far as it concerned her—until
her interview with Anne! R
“Noyw you can see, Anne.”‘uaidl
Hilda, at the dinner-table, “how far
a little tact would have gona with
Mrs. Adams. She'll never speak to
us again, and what you told her will
not make a bit of difference in her
ppearance.” Lo
Anne swallowed her tears—but not
much dinner—and said nothirg,, She
admired” Hilda's tactfulness.® but
somehow she could never think of
smooth things to say—operhaps be
cause she said so liitle. S
“Wait. a' while.” Mrs. Tupper
smiled undisturbed at Hilda. “I know-
Mrs. Adams. Wait a while.”
“I know Mrs. Adams so well. Wait
a while.” ;
Anne waited rather forlorniy,
Tuesday Mrs. Parsons, autocrat of
the choir, called, and found only
Hilda and Anne at home. “I thought
Sunday that I saw your mother put
out her hand to Mrs. Adams, who—"
Anne squirmed in guilty silence,
but Hilda finished quickly with her
usual ready tact: “Oh, Mrs. Adams
is so near-sighted, you know, that I
shouldn’t think she cqu!d ever see any
one offer to shake hauds! She can
scarcely see one word in the re
sponses!”
Anne looked up at Hilda grate
fully, and sighed in relics, while Mrs.
Parsons dismissed that branca of the
subject, and continuned:
“Mrs. Adams is getting ready to
spend some time with her sister, I
am told. She’s having a dress made.”
Mrs, Parsens raised her brows sig
nificantly, -“I understand from her
- dressmaker that it is to be the great
‘est surprise we have ever had vet,
and you know what surprises Mrs.
Adams’ costumes are! lam anxious
to see it.”
_“Yes,” smiled Hilda, in an agree
able, non-committal way, and waited
until Mrs. Parsons had departed.
Then she finished to Anne: “Well,
if the dressmaker thinks it is a sur
prise, what can it be like? Anne,
I'm simply wild to see it.”
“I—l'm not,” quavered Anne, and
was thankful for the headache that
kept her at home the following Sun
day.
Mrs. Tupper and Hilda went to
church, however, and when they re
turned, the former was smiling, the
latier in a fiutter of excitement.
“Anne,” cried Hilda, “the surprise
appearet to-day, and it was certainly
the biggest surprise Mrs. Adams evdr
gave us! Oh, that dress is a beauty!
It’s a soft gray silk, trimmed with
silvery lace. Why, Anne, Mrs. Ad
ams looked almost handsome! You'd
never believe it without seeing her!
If only her hair matched that suit,
and her cheeks weren’t so red—oh!”
Hilda stopped to catch her breath,
while Mrs. Tupper placidly smoothed
out her gloves, and said again, “I
know Mrs. Adams. Give her a little
more time.”
Anne suddenly sat up and looked
at her mother. “Do you mean—"
she began, and stopped.
“Wait and find out what I mean,”
returned her mother.
Hilda turned abruptly, looking
from Mrs. Tupper to Anne with a
new understanding dawning in her
eyes.' At the dinner-table she was
thoughtful, and she did not mention
the subject of tact. In fact, she
spoke only once of Mrs. Adams, and
that was to remark abruptly, “Anne,
Mrs. Adams didn't speak to me to
day, but she did make out to see
mother.” :
“Give her time,” repeated Mrs.
Tupper. “She goes to her sister’s on
Friday.”
Just what connection there was be
tween a visit to her sister and the
subject in hand, neither Hilda nor
Anne saw—until her return.
On Friday Mrs. Parsons stopped on
the porck to rest, and incidentally to
relate a joke.
“l was. out to tea with Mrs. Ad
ams last night,” she said. “And what
do you think? It amused us all so
much. She had forgotten to put on
sher rogue! We all said afterward
that we wished she'd forget it al
‘ways. It does seem as if some one
ought to speak to her about that.
But then, who would dare? I'm
sure I shouldn’t!”
Anne flushed, and drew back un
easily into the shadow of the vines.
- After Mrs. Parsons had gone, Mrs.
‘Tupper laughed and looked at Anne.
. “Perhaps Mrs. Adams did forget
last night. If so, she was just as for-
Lgetful this morning. I was down at
the station when she left.”
Mrs. Tupper rocked a moment, and
then added, “She was as cordial as
ever this morning.”
The snow was flying before Mrs.
Adams again dawned on the Tupper
‘horizon, Anne was out walking one
day, when Mrs. Tupper and Hilda
heard the news. It came by way of
‘an excited Mrs. Parsons.
“Can you believe it?” cried that
lady, entering the house without ring
ing the Dbell. She was not in a state
to use ceremony. “Mrs. Adams is
home in gray hair and a tailor-made
suit of black broadcloth! Think of
it!” Mrs, Parsons waved her muff
frantically. “Gray hair as gray as
mine, and not a bit of paint or pow
der on her face! And I must say,
Mrs. Tupper, she's a fine-looking
woman—decidedly fine-looking. How
I wish she had visited her sister be
fore!”
“Yes,” said Mrs. Tupper; but Hilda,
for a wonder, said nothing.
Mrs. Parsons had scarcely gone
before Anne came rushing in with
glowing checks and sparkling eyes.
She spoke all in one breath.
“Guess what’s happened?” de
manded Anne. “But then, you'd
never guess—it's so nice. Mrs. Ad
ams waylaid me and invited me in.
She was perfectly lovely to me. She
says her fifty-third birthday is next
Tuesday, and she's going to have
some of the young people in for tea,
and she wants me to come and help
her entertain! Isn’t that Jodwt? . .
Mrs. Tupper laughed, and mur
mured, “Fifty-three, is it? I thought
she was only fifty.”
- But Hilda sat up and looked re
provingly at Anne:
‘r “Anne Tupper! Did vou tell her
you'd go after the way she's treated
you?”
nne hung her head, guiltily
hagpy, and twirled her muff. *Why,
Hilda, to tell you the truth, I—l
never thought of that. I was so glad
she was nice again, and then—no &ne
ever asked me to help entertain be
fore!"- -From the Youth's Come

Tasting Dinners,
An out-of-the-way profession for a
woman is that of dinner taster. She
is a product of Parisian refinement,
and spends a portion of each daw
visiting houses and tasting dishes in
tended for dinner. She suggests im
provements, and shows the cook new
ways of preparing froods.—Reader.
A Murderous Coat.
The breasts of 365 Iloons ‘r.nade
into a coat! That is the strange gar
ment shown in the window of a down
town shoe company. The breast of
a loen is about four inches square
and each bears a white spot in its
centre. The number of pieces in the
coat, therefore, can be counted read- -
ily. As these birds are very difficult -
to shoot, many years must have been
required to make the coliection.—«

Nail Driver. !
The hitherto customary method of
driving in nails frequently leads to im
juries of the fingers by improver
blows of the hammer. To obviate
this drawback implements in the
shape of tongs or pliers have become
known. The device shown in the
- below relates to improve
ments in such implements and spe
cially aims at protecting the head of
the nail against deformation through
hammer blows. The implement .is
formed of two pivoted shanks, having
at each end a section for a nail hold
er. The upper section of the holder
contains a groove for supporting the
nail, the lower section when swung
into position preventing the nail from
falling out. After pli ‘iug the point
of the nail at the required place the
implement is held in one hand and
struek in the usual manner with a
hammer. The nail being securely

held in the groove is prevented from
bending, while the head is protected,
which is of great advantage with nails
having fancy. or decorative heads.
The wall or like suriace into which
the nail is driven is also protected
against injuries by improper blows.
