law.

the intention of respect "woman" Is
more honorable than "lady," just as
Lincoln's "He looks like a man," ap
plied to Whitman, was much moro a
compliment Uian "Ho looks liko a
gentleman" would have been.
Whether, in the abstract, tho term
"woman" is nobler than "lady" can
.be determined by a very simple test.
Take the quotations, "A perfect wom
an, nobly planned," and "Earth's no
blest thing, a woman porfected."
Change the word "woman" in each
case to "lady" and see what you
get.
Yet it Is possible for tho sweet old
word to be uBcd contemptuously as
this Derby lawyer probably employed
it. When an odious male person,
filled with a senBO of his own gran
deur, begins a remark to a person
of the opposite sex, "Now, ray good
woman," she is perfectly justified in
taking offense. It is not tho term
"woman" that offends her, but tho
flavor of condescension in tho remark.
To put it briefly, it takes a gentle
man to. use the word "woman" and
make it express tho honor that be
longs to it. Men who are not gentle
men had better stick to the term
"lady." New York Mail.

RESTFUL
The pinks are slim and graceful,
And the tall carnations sway,
And the cannas are unfolding
Ited-hot spots against the day;
And the red and, yellow roses
Climb divergent paths of twine,
And the big south porch is shaded
By the morning glory vine.
And the yellow-headed babies
Have come in out of the sun,
And their" baby laughs are silent,
They are napping every one;
And the bumble bees are droning,
There's a humming bird a-polso
Just above the reddest canna,
And there isn't any noise.
I will tip a chair down forward,
And I'll get a pillow, too,
And I'll fix me up a head-rest
Like my daddy used to do,
And I'll stretch' my length contented,
Like my daddy did df yore,
Just old-fashioned country fashion
when he napped down on the floor.
There's a shrill cicada calling
In the white heat 'way out far
Where the trees are stiff as pictures
And the droning -wild bees are;
There's a far faint tinkle-tinkle
Like the homing of the cows,
And the world is, warm and quiet
And my soul is half a-drowse.
There's a feeling in the sunshine
That's a harbinger of June,
There's a sleepiness enfolds me,
On a Sunday afternoon.
Till .against my inclination
I just wilt down on the floor,
With my head propped on 1. chairback
As my daddy did of yore. '

THE REAL MAN WITH THE MUCK
RAKE
Now that tho president's speecli
has been spoken and a certain portion
Of the press has proclaimed it to be
a sweeping rebuke of the assailants
of corporate phases which it is not
is there not a little pertinence in turn
ing attention to the real significance
df "tho Man with the Muck Rake?"
Those who take the trouble to turn
to Bunyan's work wJH' find, if mem
ory does not mislead us, that the au
thor distinctly explains the meaning
of that title. The man who is busy
raking together the filthy lucre of
I wealth and keeps his gaze so fixed
on the heap he can gather that he can
not look up to the gold crown of
righteousness, truth and honesty held
above his head by an angel is plainly
stated in that time-honored work to
be tho Man with the Muck Rake.
Tho classes among whom success
in 'raking up the biggest heap of lucre
is held to condone dishonesty and in
justice in 'attaining it should, if they
study the true origin of tho term,
find little comfort in the prevalence
of the phrase. Pittsburg Dispatch.

"WOMAN" AND "LADY"
A judge at Derby, Conn., has just
ruled that the term "woman," applied
to a woman, is as honorable as "lady."
In court a female witness was re
ferred to by the counsel on the other
side as "this woman," whereas the
person to whom the phrase was ap
plied objected strenuously. Was Sho
justified in doing so? The judge did
not think so, but there was something
in her indignation itself which seems
to indicate that she detected a tone
of disparagement in the lawyer's ut
terance: in which case, of course, her
wrath was quite natural.
