Bept. 23-To the Editor of The Beo: Since reading the article. "Woman1 Place In 'World." In The Hee of August IS, written by Ella. Darling McKilllp, I must aay I am surprised and pained, too, to think a woman possessed aa I suppose of that "common aenae" which ehe speiks of ao emphatically, would take euch a stand against her own sex, with out Just cause. Judging from the publicity or this article. I would, naturally under stand that the same Is open to criticism end with that understanding I would ask permission to give a few of my own Ideas on the subject. Having been a wife and mother for the p.ist twenty years, and a close observer of human nature alt through the more mature years of my llfo, I find myself drawing conclusions very different from those expressed by Ella Darling MeKIIllp. She certainly must be speaking from the standpoint of a professional msn's wife, with no children, plenty of wealth and nothing to do but to love and be loved, when she says that "If married life la oi.e elded, the woman must have the easy side of It, for she Is protected, provided for, humored, loved, etc.," or else she knows nothing of the trials and hardships of the average overtaxed farmer's wife. She seems to think that the husband provides the living and all the wife has to do is to look attractive, be attractive, and try to make everybody happy; that the home Is her world, and If she Is true to her cause she will not want more. harshly. Lt woman stand up for woman credit her with that which la due her and I believe If she Is a "womanly woman" she 111 do so. (MRS.) BELLE ALDRICH. "TO MY MAMMA IN HEAVEN" Pattella larlaeat af Child farrow TYtaehes the Hearts ( Paatal Officials. With traces of tears In his eyes, a clerk In the employ of the Bait Lake postofAre entered Postmaster Thomas' office, and In manner that showed he was embarrassed at being so visibly moved, handed a letter to the bead of the department and asked: "What shall I do with this, sir?" The postmaster took the envelope and gazed long and steadily at the address. Turning to the clerk, as he pulled at his gray mustache, he said:"I will take car of It" It was like any ordinary letter In every respect save one. It was properly sealed and stamped snd had been received from the morning collection In the regular manner. To My Mamma In Heaven," the address rend. The writing was evidently that of a little child, and the painfully-traced letters seemed to denote that the writer was some title girl who had lost her mother and had sought this means of conveying a message of love to her. It portrayed a beautiful, trusting faith In heaven, and told more plainly than volumes could of the heartaches and yearnings of some little one, so lonesome "since mamma died." The letter, of course, rotild not be dellv ered to anyone and could art be opened at this office, to find the. name of the writer. It will be forwarded to the dead letter office, where it will be opened, and If the name of the letter writer Is Inside, It will be returned to her. Salt Lake Tribune. What the Farmer's Wife Does. 1 would like Ella Darling McKilllp to ask a number of farmers' wive how this Is, and I believe that about 90 per cent of them will tell ber that the proceeds from the hennery and the dairy not only buy the living and clothing for the family and the old man' tobacco, too but as sist largely In Improving and beautifying the home, or add to their worldly pos sessions. The farmer's wife cannot live on love. She must be her own nurse, cook, launderer, dressmaker, gardener, milk maid, superintend the poultry yards, etc., while many of them plant corn-one of which I knew to plant corn with a hand planter, with ber Infant strapped upon her back, and not a savage either, but a fanner's wife. Another cultivated corn with a walking cultivator while her babe of 1 year was shut In a room with a little pup for a playfellow, till mamma could come In at noon or night and reaoue htm, while others will take their child on their lap and cut stalks, harvest the wheat, or rake hay, and when the corn crop ripens they wilt turn out and help gather It, and at the same time many of these women will rear and care for a family of from five to ten or mora children a a kind of side Issue, and unless she neglect her work and family, ha little or no time for "artlstlo adornment, music, literature. or to look attractive for her husband." In many Instances such families live In sod or small frame houses, consisting of from on to three rooms, and have to re sort to the cave for sleeping quarter for a cart of the children. Sure enough. If they had more of that "common sense" probably they would not -make such slaves of themselves, but It I all for the sake of husband and home, heilltH am Hysaea'a Altar. In starting out on the voyage of married life, only think for a moment what the wife ha to sacrifice for her huaUand's sake. First, her name; then a happy home, with father, mother, sisters and brother, her young associates, parties and social gatherings, etc., - and take up the burden of life. Then, a time move on and she assumes the many grave responsibilities, mingled with joy and sorrow, should htr husband be unkind or untrue to rer, which I frequently the case, how can we say "a woman ha the easy side of life and must look attractive, be attractive, have wit beauty, brains or agreeablllty, or she Is not worthy of being loved and should feel thankful If the husband tolerate her at all." I say, let her be ever so humble. Is she not well worthy of all the love, respect and comforts of life that man can bes'.ow upon her? If she was good enough for him to woo and wed, she Is most em phatically good enough for him to love, honor and protect. nut, after all, If married women actually do have the easy side of life, I must say I pity the poor men and may the good Lord Intercede for them. And right here let me ay that appreciation I what a wife crave and not adoration. Ella Darling McKilllp further assert that "a wife can make or mar any. man." I wonder If It ever occurred to her that a husband can make or mar a woman, to gether with the happiness, of the entire family, thereby rendering home a veritable hell, and he does not necessarily have to "come home drunk and beat his wife" to accomplish this, either. I would like her to visit these "millions of happy homes" she speak of like a mouse In the wall, and see If she finds them as happy as they appear to be and If "the woman Is to blame nine times out of ten." I wish to ask. Is It not the unbounded duty of the husband as well as the wife to try In every conceivable way to make the home what It should bet Unless there I co operation of both husband and wife In this J formal ceremony undertaking, all attempt are futile. Seiashaeaa ( the Hasbaa. "Save the choicest fruits for husband and children." I have known a husband to denounce patronising circuses and then Hp off to the next circus that came along and leave his wife and children at home. I have known a father to refuse his little boy a ntckul to ride on a merry-go-round and Ave minutes after step Into a grocery, buy two cigars and hand one to a gentle man friend. His wife and llitla boy stood by. but his family was "a secondary con sideration." I have known a husband to be very sullen, crabbed and abualve to h a wife and children, and so pleasant Jolly, accommodating and free-hearted to the community that people would not believe him 111 to his family. It I all very well to reserve the choicest fruit for husband and children, providing the act I appreciated and reciprocated; otherwise we are not "getting all w pay for In Ufa" I do not like to advise the men. but I do think that everyone who read Darling Ella McKilllp' Inconsistent warfare against women and are Id sym pathy with her sentiment should rise up and call her blessed. As a drop of oil will rekindle an already too anxious flame to ruin the finest struc ture. Just so will ofttlme an article like Klla McKilllp be equally as destructive to a family. As one woman remarked after reading It "No money would tempt me to permit my husband to read euch an article if in my power to prevent It." Had she written an article denouncing fashionable women for their fashionable re ligion and haughtiness, then 1 would have given It my heartiest support, but I would ak her to better acquaint herself with the eliuattaa befor expressing herself tea fU AIT FEATI RE9 OF LIFE.

"How much are theyT" pursued the Saxon, as the man did not move. "And isn't It two ounces a penny they are?" answered the Irish man, still without moving. "Well, have you got any" persisted hi customer, Im patiently. "Sure, not any at all!" said the Irishman, coming reluctantly to the point, with hi sweetest smile of all.

GENERAL YOUNG IN INSURGENT TERRITORY matron Correspenaeaee with Tlae, the Boy"Uaeral Waa the Treat aad Devotloa ef the na tives He Governed. The appointment of General S. B. M. Toung to the head of the general etaff of the United States army Is highly pleasing to the natives of northern Luion, against whom he fought Among the Filipinos with whom he came In contact General Toung Is extremely popular. First they learned to fear him as a vigorous fighter, then they came to respect and even to admire him as a Just governor. No other military officer In the Philippines has come Into closer sympathy with the natives. it was General Toung who brought all of the northern provinces of Luton under the American flag. It was an officer under his command. Colonel Hare, who rescue! the famous Glllmore party from the hands of the Insurgents and it was General Toung's diplomacy that reconciled the na tives of that district, to American rule. His Vlgoroa Laaoa Canipalga. General Toung's northern campaign was one of the most vigorous of the Philippine war. For, a whole week he cut himself loose from any base of supplies and pushed through a hostile country altor a fleeing enemy. He subsisted on forsge only. For one week the universal question through out the Philippines was, "Where Is Young?" When again he appeared it was In the town of Vlgan, 200 miles north of the place where he had dropped out of communica tlon with Otis In Manila, I shall never forget his entrance Into that town. A few days before It had teen bombarded and taken by the battleship Oregon, whose marines landed and heU It until a company of the Thirty-third United States volunteers could relieve tbem next day. Then the Insurgents under General Tlno attacked the town one night and were only repulsed after a desperate fight, in which eight Americans were killed and many wounded. After that we considered ourselves practically besieged, believing the country about to be alive with Insurgents, This was out situation when one day we heard a heavy firing up the adjacent pass that led into the mountains of the in terior. Several hours later a large, stout officer, with white hair and mustache and a ruddy but stern face, rode Into town with squadron of cavalry behind him. It was General Toung. He had just driven the last of the Insurgents Into the mountains This was the end of hi week' forced ride; thenceforth, he made Vlgan hi head quarters, whence he directed all further operations. When Yoang Taraed Walter. In spite of his gruff manner and soldierly abruptness, officers and men alike under Young greatly admired and liked him. He stood next to Lawton In popular favor, There was nothing of the aristocrat In his manner of maintaining discipline. Albert Sonnlcbsen, who was General Toung's official guide and Interpreter at the time of his occupancy of Vlgan. tell the following story, which Illustrates the general's thoroughly democratic! way: "A report had come in late ona evening by a native that some escaped Spanish prisoners were In hiding In a small village up the pass, the whereabouts of which only I know oeflnltely, having spent a night there as a member of the captured Glllmore party. As the Spaniards were supposed to have fresh information of the location of the insurgent forces It was Important that they should be brought In as soon as possible. So I was sent out to bring them In safely through the outposts. "It took me two hours of hard riding tnrougn a pelting rain and over a slush covered road. to reach the village, but upon arriving I lost no time In locating the Bpanlsh officers, who were hiding in the huts of friendly natives. All ware old com ruues or mine in connnement. I soon discovered that one of them, a colonel, had an Important dispatch from Colonel Hare, who had switched off into the Interior after Tlno. Bo we set cut on the return at once, slowly, a the escaped officers were on foot. "We reached Vlgan at about 1 o'clock in the morning and I at once hurried the Spanish colonel with the dispatch Into Gen eral Young' quarters. He was still up, working at his desk In his shirt sleeves, Covered with mud, wet through, and al most completely fagged out, we threw our selves Into cane chairs while I Interpreted tne Spaniard s Information. Toung rose, offered us a flask of whisky and then die appeared through a door leading Into the kitchen and the cook's room. Next thing we neara his deep voice tntermlnallna- with the clatter of dishes. From the trend of his energetlo speech we gathered that he could not find the cook. "Presently the general reappeared. In both From far and near came mourners to see i arms he carried plates of beef, rice, bread; the animal before the final removal and In terment In the dog cemetery near White Plains. The casket In which Dane was burled cost STB. The entire expense of his funeral will reach $200. Standing In front of the house on One Hundred and Four teenth street Mr. Larson stopped passersby to tell them of the sad death of hi pet. It did not take long for a crowd to collect and sines the embalming his rooms were creaded with curious sightseers, go great was the throng that the police reserve had to be called on to keep ordnr aed allow the funeral to be conducted. There was no Mia Blanch Pacettl, a pretty girl of Savannah, Ga., I in hyaterics over the loss of her hair, which. It is said, was the moat beautiful in the state. While in a torn nambullatlo trance the other night Miss Pacettl sheared away her tresses. Her hair reached to her feet and was of fine color and silky texture and was the pride of herself and her parent. She retired In the evening In perfect health. She had not been somnambulistic and ahe knows no reason wby she should have arisen in the night. While asleep she walked to a table, got her mother' aclssors and cut off her hair close to her head, leaving the call on the table. The scissors she took with her and placed them on the floor by the bed side. When Miss Pacettl awoke In the morning she noticed a strange lightness about her head. She ralaed her hands and was horrified to discover she had lost her hair. The mayors of the citie of Iowa have been called upon to act a Judge of feminine beauty, and a such have been ssked to select from their several localities women noted for their beauty, character and other distinguishing features. Tbs ob ject of this call for type of Iowa feminine beauty la to form an album of beautiful women for the Iowa building at the St. Louis exposition. Mayor Marquardt of Bur lington waa requested to select the women to represent Burlington. Me declined to do so. He said: "I don't want to have any thing to do with K. It looks Ilk a graft, and even If It were not, I don't want to touch tt." It la recalled that a similar schema was presented a year or two ago. tt la believed that tfce schema U a prlvati enterprise, cold coffee and various other refreshments which he spread on a table before us as dexterously as the missing oook hlnlself could have done. And we gratefully aC cepted his services." Yoans's Chief Opponent a Boy. Young1 chief opponent In northern Luion was the boy general. Tlno, who. a year be fore, had wrested the northern provinces from the Spaniards. Toung professed a great contempt for Tlno, which he probably did not feel; and not Infrequently he would make humorous remark about the Insur gent leader. "If ever I get that kid. I ll spank him," he was in the habit of saying. On the other hand, Tlno did not fail to ecur a little quiet amusement out of hi pursuer. .KI'e.dair ntlve brou information that Tlno was nearby, on a mountain called Kabugoa, which overlook the peas Into the Interior. Young at once sent a young In surgent officer on parole with word to Tlno offering him liberty If he would urrender Tlnq sent back an answer along with his compliment that he wa enjoying the fun too much to think of such a thing "Hang his Impertinence." growled Toune upon having the message Interpreted, but at the same time a grim smile played un der his stubby white mustache. Quite a correspondence followed before JVl 1 ,urreTlderl. "i tha two gen-erals-the American veteran of 60 and th. Filipino boy of a-grew to have .Vr admiration for each other.

' Had Kitchener In Africa been as careless of his personal safety aa Young waa to the Philippines, he would certainly have been captured by the active Boers. I can remember a typical Incident of Toung'r disregard of danger, capture or death. I had come up from Manila to Vlgan on a steamer which, through the Ignorance of a pilot, was plied up on a sand bank off Vlgan. A gunboat came to tha rescue and got us off. but not until we had at tracted attention ashore. We put ashor In a boat On the beach w saw a solitary figure watching ua. We were too busy getting the boat through the surf to no tice the lone figure at first, but once a the beach I turned and recognised Gen eral Young.

Why the Filipinos Love Young. Once established in Vlgan aa military governor of Northern Luion, Toung sat out to learn - the need of the natives, and whenever It was consistent with his policy of military conquest he made all possible concessions to them. Americans seeking interviews with the general fre quently thought themselves much slighted when told by the orderly: "General can't see youj He's in con ference with the presldentes." Almost any native fuund ready entrance to hi office certainly any native official could ee him. Complaint were patiently considered. Depredation by soldiers were severely punished. Blclt or wounded Insur gent prisoners were humanely treated and cared for in the same hospital with Amer icans. A native police force was estab lished and armed at once, and entrusted with th patrollng of the town. Natives elected their own officials, and the elec tions were carefully watched by Youns himself or his adjutant to prevent In justice. Nor did th Ilocanos betray the trust which their American governor placed in them. First they admired him for hl sense of justice, and loved him for the pains he took to better their condition. Even the insurgent on the field admired him. Perhaps they sometimes Imposed urtbn him surrendered only to enter the town to gain Information, and then de camped again to rejoin their comrades In the mountains but such Incidents did not embitter General Young against his rown people. To this day they greet the sound of his name with an involuntary smile, and they are glad to hear that he stands at the head of the American army. ANTONIO DB LAS ALAS.
