I've been reading a magasine for wo men edited by men, a!nd the most morbid. the most hysterical, the moat absolutely unhinged piece of writing that Ihav. ever aeen or heard ot is in that maga zine, written by one of the brightest men in America a man so clever that you wonder what on earth was the matter with him' When he even -i : dreamed out that 1 story. 'Have you read lt?-"The Night Be fore I Kill Myself' or some such name ' as that. ' It is about a man who Is so Jealous of his wife that he kills himself, and the wife was as good as gold and true as steel,, and never even thought of any mart on earth but her queer, morbid, distressful husband. ," , ' ': "Jealous of what In the name of common Wtt? Jealous because his poor,asged tO:death wife had once been engaged to another man. She was only a girl when she was engaged and the man wasn't a man at all-he was Just a boy-and the 'whole affair didn't mean a thing to either the boy of the girt after it had 1 been over a week. But husband was so "sensitive.1' Every time, his wife smiled at him he thought, "That'a the way she smiled at the other man." Every time she wore her. hair a different way, husband thought, "That's the way he liked it, maybe." The poor woman couldn't, cry a com fortable tear or two without husband leaning to the conclusion that she was crylngr to think she hadn't married the other man. I should think she would have cried every time she had a chance to- think of that, shouldn't youT And at last the poor morbid, half- erased creature killed himself. 'What's that Che children used' to say about "good i riddance to bad rubbish?" And the night before he committed ' suicide this lovely creature took it upon himself to write a letter to the glrls- i all the girls, everywhere, but especially , to American girls telling them how ter rible it 'is for them to even dream of , falling in love with one till they are i quite sure that they'are going to marry ! that special one. "Just think." says the man. "how your husband will suffer. Oh. the agony of it, the horrible agony how can you cheat your husband , so? How can he ever live when he discovers that the i kiss you give him Is not the first kiss you ever bad! What balm can you pour upon his wounded heart to make him ! forget that he la not the only man who ever held your little hand?" - - -And o on, and so on, for pages and pages an agonised and apparently sin cere appeal for girls to stop, look, listen, before the run the risk of driving the man they marry to suicide. Why, Mr. B. W. Howe-yes, it is the man of genius who writes this nonsense however could you go for to do it. any how?"' Talk about the agony of vicarious Jealousy, how, dare you ot any man wen mention such- a subject ,a,t all? Wfcy, there isn't j a woman,. allve.who j darea even think for one Instant of what happened' in her husband's life before j she knew him. If she did, she'd be as S crazy as the hero of Mr. Howe's hideous story. .".' i Imagine a woman committing suicide ! because husband had once held the hand of little freckle-faced Mary Johnson at the Sunday school picnic. .

Never had sweetheart,' the girl you loveli Wetl, she Isn't much of a girl then; that's all I have to say about that.: It s as natural for a girt to fall in' love, and to fall in love innocently, as it U to breathe. . Never in love? Don't you be lieve her. young man: she's fooling you. ! How many times have you been In love yourself?. Well, Just multiply ' that by about six times and you'll strike a pretty good general average for your little Sun shine. v.

Tou woke up, and then you fell in love. Little Sunshine fell in love, really, at last, and then she woke up. That's the difference between you two and between most men and most women. Never In love before? Tell that to the bluebirds. Why, she was in love when she was 3 years old with the little boy next door, and then it was the boy in the seat across the aisle In school, and then it was the high' school fellow, and then, yes, the young teaoher, and then her best friend's brother. And whose portrait, did she keep on her bureau for months an actor's, too. How shocking! And now the real man, you, and all the rest were suddenly nothing but shadows, forgotten before she'd worn your engagements ring' five minutes. ; : What? Would you dare reproach ' her fir 'her innocent, foolish day dreams, you or any other man? What if Tom did bold her hand? What if she did tell Jlmmle she'd never live without him? Who are you to pass Judgment upon her or any like her? ' ' Love is the very life pf a woman. Little brother, plays engine, little sister plays house, i Which of them Is going to fall in. love.

Coma, let us look into the clear eyes of an innocent little child and forget everything except their story that is Written there. r Lincoln's Great Memory. i . Judge Landls of the northern district court of Illinois is fond of telling this anecdote of Lincoln: In 1834, when Lincoln was a candidate for the legislature, he called on a cer tain farmer to ask for his support. He found him in the hay field, and was urging his cause when the dinner , bell sounded. The farmer invited him to din ner, but he declined politely, and added: "If you will let me have the scythe while you are gone, I will mow around the field a .couple of times." When the farmer returned he found three rows neatly mowed. The scythe' lay against the gatepost, but Lincoln had disappeared. . Nearly thirty years afterward the farmer and his wife, now grown old, were at a White House reception, and stood waiting in line to shake hands with the president. ; v t "When they got near him in the line," says Judge Landls, "Lincoln saw them, and calling an aid. told him to take them to one of the small parlors, where he would sea them as soon as hs got through the handshaking. Much sur prised, the old couple were led away. Presently v Mr. Lincoln came In, and greeting them with an outstretched hand and. a warm smile, called them by name. v 'Do you mean to say,' exclaimed the farmer, that you remember me after all these years?' " 'I certainly do,' said the president, and he went on to recall the day he had mowed round the farmer's timothy field. Tes, that's so,' said the old man, still in astonishment 'I found the field mowed and the scythe leaning up against the gatepost But I always wanted to ak you one thing. " 'What is. that?" asked Mri Lincoln.. " 4I always wanted to ask you, Mr. President, what you did with the whet- stone?' "Lincoln smoothed his hair baelc from his brow a moment in deep thought; then his face lighted up. Tes, I remember now,' he said. 'I put the whetstone on top of the high gatepost.' 'And when h got back to Illinois again the farmer found the whetstone on top of the gatepost, where it had lain for almost thirty years. Touth's Com panion. Roof Garden Atop Chsreh. : The first church in America to have roof garden, to be used as a playground for children during the day and for open air services in tits evening, will be In Boston. It will be at Clarendon and Montgomery streets on the site of the Clarendon Bap tist church. This church was badly burned last winter, and the trustees will build a Church UD to date In evarv dtJl to take its place. The roof of the ohureh will be flat and the conventional steeple will be omitted. The roof will have crenellated borders and steel girders, making it a safe place for the children to play. Service will be held there in the summer time when the weather permits.

A ? v ' The Gossip A rose in my garden, the sweetest and f airiest, .Was hanging her bead through the long golden hours; ' And early one morning I saw her tears falling, And heard a low, gossiping talk in the bowers. The yellow . Nasturtium, a spinster all faded, Was telling's Lily what ailed the poor Rose: . "That wild reving Bee, who was hanging about her Has Jilted her squarely, as everyone knows. "I knew when he "came, with his ting ing and sighing. His airs and his speeches, so fine and so sweet Just how it would end; but none would believe me, For all were quite ready to fall at Us feet" "Indeed, you are wrong," said the Llly belle, proudly, ;, , - "I cared nothing for hlffl. He called on me once. And would have come often, no doubt If I'd asked him; But, . though he was handsome, I thought him a dunce." Now, now. that's not true," cried the tall Oleander, SICK OP ; 9vtmat ok If: : Dreams By v Copyright, 113, National News Aas fc By Copyright by American-Journal-Exarainer "He has traveled and seen every flower that grows; And one who has supped in the garden of princes, , We all might have known, would not wed With the Rose." "But wasn't she proud when ha showed her attention? And she let him caress her," said sly Mignonette. "And I used to see it and Mush for her , folly. The silly thing thinks he will corns to her yet." "I thought hs was splendid," said pretty, pert Larkspur, "So dark and so grand, with that ggy ' cloak of gold; But he tried, once, to Idas me, the im pudent fellow. And I got offended; I thought blm too bold." "Oh, fie!" laughed the Almond. "That . does for & story. Though I hang down my head, I see all that goes; And I saw you reach out, trying hard to detain htm, But he Just tapped your cheek and flew by to the Bose. . 'He' cared nothing for her, die only was , flirting ', ' ' To' while away time, as evwyone knew; So I turned a cold shoulder to all hUj Nell Brinkley Hla Wheeler Wilcox. advances, Because I was certain his heart was untrue." "The Koss is served right for her folly In trusting "An oily-tongued Strsnger," quoth proud Columbine. "I knew what hs was, and thought once I Would warn her. But, of course, the affair was no busi ness sf mine." "Oh, well," cried the Peony, shrugging her shoulders, "I saw air along that the Bee was a flirt; But the Rose has been always so praised and so petted, I thought a good lesson would do her no hurt." Just then came a sound of a love song sung sweetly; I saw my proud Rose lifting up her bowed head; And the talk of the gossips was hushed in a moment, . And the flowers all listened to hear whet was said. ' And the dark, handsome Bee, with., his cloak o'er his shoulder, Came swift, through tha sunlight and kissed the sad Rose, -4 whispered: "My darling, I've roved Jie world over, ' , And yon are the loveliest blossom that grows." 1-1 I J isbci A Woman Br ELBERT It will be remembered that Mrs. Marl 11a rl.l. . a v . . . ..l.li.J mufttir cm. louver, j, nia m puue campaign for the governorship In that state a few year ago. For a time it looked as' if Mrs. Ricker stood a good chance of being elected. , The matter, however, was " re (erred to the at torney general ot the state for a legal opinion aa to whether Mrs. Ricker would be allowed to serve If she were the people's choice, After due delibera tion, the attorney general gave It as hla opinion that a woman could not legally be Inaugur ated governor of fh state of New Hampshire, sven If a ma jority of tbs citizens voted for her. The decision of the attorney general rested on the dictum that no person could servo as governor who was not a legal voter. If It were otherwise, he argued, we might elect a foreigner,, a minor, an alien, a detective, a criminal to the office. Only a legal voter could be elected legally and allowed to Serve, and the law did not recognise such a thing as a qualified female voter. . This ret of put a damper on the Marina Ricker campaign, and the only thing thea was to fall back on the good old fight ot Votea for Women. : j. Now, ' however, in tha' state of Wash ington, Miss Anna A Malley has been nominated on a referendum for gover. bor on the socialist ticket. Miss Malley is a school' . teacher, a lecturer and a writer. She is a woman of a good deal of ability, and withal, she la ' a working woman a' wage earner and has had considerable experience In the world of business and practical af fairs. The northwest isn't afraid ot initiative. Rather do they pride-themselves on do ing things that have never been done be fore. The northwest is really the home of the Initiative, the referendum, and the recall. And the women df Washing, ton have done all three. It you do not believe It, ask ex-Mayor McGill of Be, attle.

The rescue of wonderful things and records ot the remote past , from oblivion now being made in classic lands and in other parts of the world,; pre figure the dawn of the science. . If the enormous and senseless, Idotlo waste of money in war could only end. and the means, a portion of it at least, could bo used in giving work to thous ands of suffering Idle men In excavat ing ancient splendid word capitals, mag nificent cities and ruined temples, the knowledge gained would be of Inestim able value. Mighty cities enee adorned with palaces, religious temples end labyrinths of Infla tion, now burled at depths of from ten to thirty feet, await the pick and spade. Let all known sites be explored and others now unknown discovered by re search and exhumed, then floods ot wis dom of antiquity would pour iuto the possession ot modern scholars, artlu ir is ns, religionists and linguists... We should then know the true origin of our present civilisation laws, religions, lan guages, alphabets, arts, architecture, habits, beliefs and. dally sustoms. For these are all prehistoric, and were In ex istence before any history. As a ns'ter of fact, all history now stored in the. libraries of the world, Is quits mol"rn. Moderns have merely expanded and amplified these legacies of a mighty pro- Egyptian and pre-Mesopotamtan past.. I am not now speaking of physical science, but of religion, law, literature language, philosophy. At last after long burial in desert sands In solitary wastes,, the splendid capital of Egypt in Its glory, Memphis, is being excavated, with scarcely more than a beginning. The Tale university expedition is now. on its way to Peru to exhume lta very anolent cities. They are sure to, find tmagea of gods exactly like ' thoso eS cavated In Yucatan and Egypt, even i9 details of ornaments, features, headdress and dimensions.

Abraham Lincoln said that the object of government was to do for the peoples what the people cqutd not do sq welt foJtf themselves. . :r.i In degree, government Is a ssrt of cors poratlon-a body without death, a mind 4 without decline. It is a matter of busiH ness, and relates to matters of the editor cation ot the young, the care of the oldii decrepit and 'Infirm; the keeping .of public records, the question of good roads, public parka, pure water and fresh alr.J Government gives opportupnlty and pro tects the individual in his rights. . Th,. hand of the government, should touch the people very lightly. For the most parjfj we know enough to do f'ff0. becauae' right conduct brings good results, and la" a part of, the law of self-preservation.. Woman is a natural conservator. I nevej: In all my life heard of a woman who played the part of a Coal .Oil Johnny. and. flung money to, the English spa?- rows. If women, were allowed to pay the bills, there.

They1 are not s much given to bounding and exploitation.'' A woman is a safer cashier than a men. Taking It all In all, I do not see why? women should not occupy high positions In the state. And apart from party lines, I am inclined to thtnk the people of the state of Washington might do well to elect Miss Malley governor provided It was fixed by special enactment that no. one should ever refer to her as "gov4 ernes.".

By the end of De cember, 1999, archaeologists will begin to? hear of this, and a science of real arch- aeology will begin, i
