RICH YOUKG MEN NEEDED IN POLITICS.
By Secretary W. . Tift.
VU 1 p VaJ TTTt-ari' rBft
If thire is any one thing upon
which I feel strongly, It Is the sub
Jict of the duty of the wealthy and
educated young man to his country.
It has many times been remarked
that much of England's administra
tive success in municipal and In Im
perial affairs has been due to the ex-
Pi. ?
&KjJ?'-'-H-y Istence In England of a class free
ti.". m.,, i.U by birth from the need to labor, and.
ua.i.iAM ii. TAhr. Indeed, forbidden to do so, but ex
liected to enter tho country's service. Now, we do not
waut, and could never iKisslbiy have, a "governing class"
here. But If It Is n fact that a considerable number of
young America ns are nowadays annually leaving college
of whom necessity does not require that they should
give their time to bread-winning. Is it not also a fact
that the loud voice of public opinion should require of
those young men that they consider whether their coun
try does not need them? Oh, we may talk of culture
and books and of serving the country by bolug a good
citizen. That Is very well. But good citizens need to
know where their polling place Is, and need to feel the
obligation to do Jury duty, and need to be 'acquainted
with the affairs of the municipality and the country. nd
need to offer themselves for definite work In the munici
palities or the state or in the deiicndenclos, If they believe
that they could do that work well.
MEN ARE STILL GALLANT.
Some women, not the majority happily, are
doing a lot of useless worrying theae days
about the decay of gallantry among the sterner
sex. They don't know true gallantry when
tbey see It That's where the trouble lies. Men
know their true attitude toward their oppo
sltes, but In the stress of modern business
ways have no time for rambling argument.
In the hurry and bustle of the present a'
man has not the time to make courtly bows, waiting pa
tiently for mllndl to move, uor to frame charming speech
es. He says "Sure," If he favors her sentiments, and is
quite likely to suy "Not on your life," If contrary mind
ed, and the woman of sense understands. But in his
heart, hidden the closer because of his bluntuess, Is a
tenderness of which fine words could never be the growth.
He feels deeper, with all due respect for the past, than
bis grandfather. In the family archives are letters from
the esteemed forefather, In which his grandmother is led
to believe she may walk over her lord, mince him Into
bits and throw him to the lions If she will only have him.
Do you imagine she believed It?
None of that for the man of to-day. He wastes no
time dilly-dallying. He writes with the brute in him no
nearer to the surface than it was 200 years ago. "Will
you marry me? I need you. I must, have you," und

"HIS WIFE."
Life Is often very tedious at a sum
mer hotel where, day after day, one sits
listlessly on the veranda waiting for
something exciting to happen ; and such
was my case. I had been at the hotel
a week, Hnd that week I had reason to
consider as a dend loss In my life; for-j
not a solitary thing did I do, but eat
my meals, feel tired and sleep.
I, however, was not the only Idler
there; for there were several glrte Up
sides me, who were doing nothing but
eat, drink and sleep, and, like me, in
full expectation for something exciting
to happen.
Perhaps you will think It strange that
a crowd of girls should have no fun;
but what wo all longed for was an ani
mating power In the shape of a being
that we nre wont to call man; and I
really believe that, If a man had ap
Iieared on the scene, every girl present
would have shown a deeper Interest In
life.
On Monday, the beginning of my sec
ond week of vacation, I was sitting on
tho veranda reading, In truth, making
an attempt to read, or to become inter
ested in a book, while all the time I
was longing for n stroll on the white
and glistening sands. But as. there Is
surely no pleasure lu meandering alone,
I disconsolately, almost gaplngly, turn
ed to my book.
I had Just managed to become Inter
ested In the beautiful heroine of the
Isxik. when a carriage stopped, and,
Imaglno my surprise a young and ex
tremely handsome fellow Junqied out
My heart began to beat fast at the ex
hilarating sight, but glowed down very
suddenly, when he gallantly assisted a
most beautiful young woman to alight.
"Marrlitl, of course," some of tho
girls whlsjiered. and I, greatly disap
polntod, retired to my room.
However. I decided to look my best
at the KUpis'r table, so I donned what
I imagined to be my most becoming
gown, which happem-d to be a soft
shade of pink, aud although I am not
vain, which muy npiear contradictory
liecause I say it myself, I am positive
that a murmur of admiration went
around the room us I entered.
At supper, the joung man and Ms
pretty wife chanced to Bit. opposite me
at the tuhla. By bis conversation and
table manner he appeared to be a
most charming fellow.
I caught him once or twice Intently
studying my face, und began to pity his
pretty, young wife. I can't account for
it that he, at that moment, made the

CHILD LABOR
By Zetma Tr avers.
The followlug morning, the girls were
In a flutter ,of excitement; the hotel
manager hud promised to Introduce the
handsome young man. "But girls," I
suggested, "be is n married man."
"What difference," laughed the girls,
and all retired to their rooms, where
they prinked for fully an hour.
I may as well acknowledge that It
took me also about nn hour to adorn
my personality with the best I could
select from my by no means rich, but
rather meager, wardrobe. Richard St
Clair was duly Introduced to us, one
and all.
"And whore Is your wife, pray tell?"
asked one of the girls.
"Oh, oh, my wife, she Is out with au
old college chum of hers, a collego class
mate of mine," ho stammered.
"Fair, but fickle," whispered one of
the girls.
That night, at the hotel dance, I hud
at least one partner, and let me say It
at once, that he was a divine waltzer;
but, strange to say, his wife was not
present.
We girls began to think It rather
queer that Mr. St. flair had failed to
Introduce to us his wife, and decided
that the next one- who happened to be
with hhn should mention It to him.
Who can Imagine my astonishment,
when the evening after the dance, Mr.
St Clair Invited me tovgo with him for
a moonlight row. It was then that I
began to think that, perhaps, I bad en-
couraged him too much; and at once I
resolved to treat him In the future with
a cold and studied Indifference.
"Why, Mr. St. Clair," I said, "you
cannot expect me to accept your Invi
tation In the absence of your sweet
partner, your wife? Where Is she? It
Is somewhat surprising that you negltKi
her that way. People aro beginning to
make remarks about It."
"Well, Miss Courtlelgh," he replied,
with an amused suillo on his handsome
face, "my wife iuail surely accompany
us. I should l'.ke very much that you
became Intimately acquainted with
her," and, somewhat smilingly, he add
ed, with un expression on his face
which I, at the time, could not define,
"you will undoubtedly like her then
even lietter than now."
In the evening he brought his wife
with him, and, after au Introduction,
she Impressed mo as being the dearest
girl I had ever met.
As we parted for tho night, Sirs. St.
Clulr, with n mischievous twinkle In
her eyes, remarked, "Be good to my
husband, dear."
I fell asleep that night pondering
over tlie peculiar remark ot Mrs. St
Clair.
The following morning she sent down
word that she was suffering from a se
vere headucbe, and tluit we girls were
to do the ts-st wo could to amuse her
dear Richard.
Strange to say, Mr. St. Clair did imt
seem at all worried about his sick wife,
uid laughed and talked us If her being

By Owen R. Lovcloy.
In tracing the relation of child labor to the
various problems In the field of philanthropy
wo are led to record the following facta
against it: It Is a menace to the physical
will being of Its victims. We cite the wreck
ing of the nervous system In young t'rts who
spend the years t;f adolescence InMit over sew
ing machines run nt lightning speed; bronchial
and pulmonary affections of tho child of tlie
coal breakers; languor and backwardness of tho little
street trader; the fulling vision of tlie tenement house
worker, and diseases of the feet and spine traced to the
unnatural exactions of factory lalmr during a period that
should be given to study, rest and play.
A recent rejuirt In New York City, following the state
ment that many thousand children were backward, re
vealed the fact that of 07,000 children examined over
30,000 have defective vision. But we want to kuow
more than this. Why do UO.OOO children out of 100,000
children, have defective vision? Were they horn of sub
normal parents? Are their eyes ruined by bending over
some piece of home work In a miserably lighted tenement?
That you must continue year after year to turn the
floods of philanthropic gifts from their proper channel
Into attempts to cure the evils that ainiet llttlo children
through oppression, Ignorance, or neglect Is an article In
the creed of pessimism to which wo refuse to subscribe.
TEDDY BEAR MENACES NATION.
By Rev. Father M. Q. Eaper.
Race suicide, the gravest danger which con
fronts this nation to-day, Is being fostered
and encouraged by the fad for supplanting the
good old dolls of (Jir childhood with the horri
ble monstrosity known as tho "Teddy bear."
The very Instincts of motherhood in a growing
girl arebluuted aud oftentimes destroyed If the
child is allowed to lavish upon an unnatural
toy of this character tlie loving care which Is
so beautiful when bestowed upon a doll representing a
helpless Infant
No more disgusting sight has ever come to my eyes
than Is presented by the spectacle of a girl fondling, ca
ressing and even kissing these pseudo animals. It Is a
shame upon the American people that It will suffer the
development of the Instinct of motherhood In Its future
women to be arrested for a fad for these bundles of hor
rldnees, the most harmful and repulsive nature fakes
ever perpetrated.
ill were of little or' no consequence to
him.
That evening wo all sat on the veran
da with Mr. St Clulr In our midst. '
On a sudden, however, silence fell
upon every one of us, as by the light
of the moon we beheld two figures, one
a woman, the other n man, and the
man's words were wafted on us the
soft evening breeze.
"Florence," he said, "I love you, and
I will always love you, oven If you
never return my love."
One of the girls became so nervous
at the Incident that she shrieked out,
"It Is your wife, Mr. St. Clnlr, truly, It
Is your wife!"
Imagine our surprise that, while wo
girls were all In a liutter of excitement,
he took It all very coolly.
"Why, Mr. St. Clair," I cried, exas
perated at his cold nud almost disinter
ested behavior, "why don't you act a
man's pnrt, to take her awny from that
man's embrace, to compel her to quit
her lover, and cling to you, her loyal
husband!"
"But, Blanche," he stammered. In his
excitement calling me by my first name,
"let me explain " "No!" I cried,
"there Is no time for nny explanation,
let your wife rather explain."
"Hy wife? She Is not my wife," he
cried.
"Xot your wife?" shrieked the girls
In chorus.
"No, you had all made up your minds
to have her lie my wife, so I thought It
would be sport to have her piny the
port of n wife for n time."
"But who Is she?" I cried.
"My sister, my only sister, and now,
as ytm noticed, she Is to become my
schoolmate's wife."
"Oh,"I murmured faintly, for my
heart was beating so loudly that I felt
sure all present could hear It.
The girls somewhat suddenly retired,
leaving Mr. St. Clair and me alone, out
In tho moonlight
"Oh, Blanche," said be, "my little
sister Is soon to bo Tim's wife, and I
shnll have no one left to iove me, al
though I love some one very dearly."
"IH you?" I murmured. trylnK to ap
pear calm. "Who Is It, Mr. St. Clair, If
I may ask, that you love so dearly?"
"You cannot but know that It Is your
self, dearest Blanche."
And I don't know how It came that
soii my answer was smothered In his
strong urms. , Tho following morning

am engaged, too." Hartford Times.
