| I 8 ~ > “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, Happy Farmers R AT W D They and Nature Smile While Wall Street Groans Under the Knife. .

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.

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.— From the Atlantic. . ! 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. i.‘ - = 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 panion, ; R ———————— LE GEORGE F. HOAR. "MEMORIAL STATUE OF Ho: .

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.—« Kansag City Star. R eet e S 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 G 3 lE‘-—--—. ; N { o\\"-xn‘; d k !

The wall or like suriace into which the nail is driven is also protected against injuries by improper blows. | —Washington Star.
