The Road Agent
Ths warm afternoon sun looks down upon
to. scene of rugged grandeurt The view is pic
turesque and awe-inspiring. A rough, un
even, rocky road winds in a semi-circle about
the basa of a mountain. Here, on ths ono
side, a porpcndlcular wall of rock looms up
to an amazing height; on the other are hills,
Trlth here and there a few scattering clumps
of dogwood, while tho shrubby cacti are grow
ing in greater or lesser abundance.
A rumbling sound breaks the quietude, and
moment later the lumbering overland stage
coach comes in sight. As tho driver cracks
tho long la9h of his whip, urging the horses
to increased speed, the vehicle sways to and
fro in a manner which .must prove uncom
fortable to Its passengers. Now it gives n
greater lurch as it swings sharply to the
Hght, around a projection at the base of the
huge mountain, and an unlooked-for thing
occurs.
"Halt!"
The peremptory command has anjunmlstafc
ablo ring of determination, and the sight Of
uuii u uuzen revolvers levelled in his direction
causes the surprised driver to pull up his
corses to a sudden standstill.
Conscious that something unusual had hap
pened the passengers within tho vehicle ex
change alarmed glances. There are two of
them both men and they are an oddly as
sorted pair; one is a bronzed and bearded fel
low, whoso looks.speecb, and general make-up

Lay 'Sermons for
Sunday Reading
Commerce requires under all conditions
three factors, something to sell, a seller, and
a buyer. Commerce in thought il as simple,
tho thought, the thinker, and the desire for
thought.
The preacher knows his congregation, the
politician knows his mental caliber and pre
vailing prejudices ol the mass of men that
mako up tho majority in his district, but the
man who would put his best thoughts in the
columns of a newspaper at this day, when
the world is full of them, begging for readers.
must do so much liko the marketman who
exposes his wares and goes his way; they
may never attract the notice of u single
buyer, but his hope always is that at least a
lew may una in nis assortment wnai tney am
looking for, but the thinker soon discovers
that thought is necessary to his continued
vitnllty, and further, that the arrangement of
bis thought is necessary to his personal equa
tion, to the definite solution of his problem
of existence. So If any man writes seriously
for publication, he may find himself more in
debted to an indulgoat public than any one
reader can be indebted to him.
S
Tho reassembling of the Presbyterian mag
nates at Saratoga, the revival of the Brlggs
controversy of lost year, inevitably leads to the
question of this "thinking." It is notBriggs
the offending brother, but the much more im
portant matter as to whether thought is a God
given endowment and the great pioneering
power In the higher evolution of man, or was
the thinking principle confiscated when the
church was organized? It would seem that
the highest thoughts that como to man were
tho real "angels' visits," and that the re
counting of these, the arrangement of these
high thoughts Into an ever-enlarging number
of "sacred books," would be crowning work
of such an assembly, rather than tho united
effort to keep all though safely harnessed
to the chariot of creod, and the solemn
farce of swearing to the inerrancy of a book
that never was a book, but a collection of
"writings" about God and religion. All the
religion, all the light, all the faith, all the
aspiration those books contain Is forever
sacred, but only so because the mind, the
soul, tho consciousness of man is sacred, and
that which helps most to lead man from his
lower or animal nature toward his higher
and dlvlno nature is also sacred. The gift of
divine reason was before the gift of book
maklng, and would survlvo the destruction
of all the books, printing presses, type, and
presses in the world.
. .
The fundamental declaration in this book
they claim as "inorrant" Is, that "God made
man in His own image," and "malo and fe
male created He them.' Now, whatever tho
"heathen," the "atheist," the "agnostic" may
choose to think he believes or disbelieves, it
is surely the duty and privilege of all creeds,
basod upon the Bible, to beliove these two
statements as "incrrant" Believing them
involves certain necessary conclusions.
First There is this: that in man Is the only
authorized localization of the image of God,
and as we emerge from the idolatry of form
into the concept of spiritual forces, which Is
tho only thinkable condition of the omnipres
ence, we must eoncludo that this "image" Hc3
hidden for the most part In tho yet undevel
oped consciousness of man. To make this
idea more emphatic, later on In the same
book is the direct command to "make to thy
self no other likeness or imago of anything."
So it would seem that the duty of all such be
lievers should bo the effort to unveil this au
thorized "image," to clear away all tho rub
bish of accumulation of man's opinions of
all thick veils of organized conclusions, and
let in on this long-concealed image the clear
sunlight of thought.
Secondly. If In this "making of man" it
was found expedient to create them "mide
and female," it will be at once evident that
these primal differentiations were "sacred."
and that so long 03 there is claim to priority
or immunity of responsibility, the one over
the other, so long is there unbelief, conflict,
and all the terrible consequences pronounced
upon infidelity.
For nearly two thousand years the name of
Jesu3, the Christ, has been the watchword for
all tho multi-colored professions of religion
in what Is called Christendom, or that portion
of the globe that is supposed to be enlight
enedthat which is not still "heathendom"
and in all that time man has been satisfied to
be engaged in controversial discussions about
what was said about Jesus, and ha3 not
seemed to care for the little that is recorded
of His direct teaching.
It would seem strange that so much of anx
iety should center about the "miracle" of his
birth, of the methods of his "coming," and
so little attention paid to the message he
came to bring! If the message was not im
portant, then why the messenger? This mes
sage con bo summed up very briefly the
kingdom of heaven is within you. Not "lo,
hero or lo there." Only another way of say
ing "God made man In nis own image," and
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto ono of
the least of these, ye have done It unto me."
Unless you can see the imago of God In the
consciousness with which ill men are en
dowed, then look nowhere for It, for you will
not find it.
It is evident to the most superficial reader
of history that tho evolution of human liberty
has been by the way of revolution, overturn
ing. If, then, one great hope filled the soul
of the great Nazarene with peace under perse
cution, it was the hope of producing a revolu
tion, of a new kingdom, that should be an
everlasting kingdom, that of "peace on earth
and good will toward men." His Sermon on
the Mount was tho outlining of the constitu
tion of that kingdom, the beginning of the
end of the reign of force and personal author
ity of inherited or assumed superiority. For
this was He and is He still despised and
rejected of men. Christian civilization, so
called, has sought to flourish on cross and
book, without the adoption of any one article
embodied In this constitution the greatest
and longest lived paradox tho world has ever
seen.
...
If it be the purpose of the Church to adhere
to all its yesterdays of thought and form for
tho purpose of goerning and controlling the
masses, then it 13 not only opposed to the
fundamental idea of evolution, Lut it will be
rejected with scorn and contempt. Man is
asking for bread, and will no longer accept
tho stone of ecclesiastical dictum.
If it be that present respectability lies in a
careless conformity, then it sinks Into a de
basing utilitarianism, into confusionism. We
add ono word to tho time-worn truism: Hon
esty and conformity are the best policy.
The Iarliest books or "Scriptures" that go
face, and he makes a quick movement with
his right hand In the direction of his hip
pocket. With a significantly imperative ges
ture the other promptly checks the action.
" 'Tain't no use, friend," he says hastily
but decidedly. "It's Dangerfleld, the gentle
man road agint, an' he's several too many fer
us."
The words of caution have the desired ef
fect. The look of anger on the face of the
clergyman Immediately gives way to one of
surprise The man who has spoken notices
the change and is unablo to account for it.
Whether the bandit's name Is familiar to him,
or whether the mention of the word "gentle
man" gives him assurance, the plainsman is
at a los3 to know.
He is about to make a further remark, but
the door of tho coach is flung open with a
bang, and nn ugly-looking revolver is thrust
through the aperature.
"Get down nnd out," orders the desperado
who holds the weapon In a voice sternly
authoritative, yet with little, if any, trace of
tho western dialect discernible "Hurry
along, parson. Be quick, and no harm will
come to you."
There is nothing to be gained by disobey
ing, and the clergyman clambers out of the
coach, following upon the heels of hl fellow
passenger. As they reach the ground the
muzzle of a revolver Is thrust Into the face of
each, and Dangerfleld's command of "hands
up" is obeyed without a word.
Hastily relieving lioth passengers of their
weapons, Dangcrlleld secured the minister's
gold watch and chain, then proceeds to search
his clothing, prosecuting the work with a thor
oughness and dispatch which bespeaks his ex
periences in such matters. He is not long in
discovering that several packages are securely
pewn up within the lining of the clergyman's
vest, and It is but the work of anothermoment
to ascertain that they aro packages of blank
notes. How the eyes of the robbers sparkle
throuch the holes In their masks as they be
hold tho precious parcels!
Meanwhile the victim of these indgnities,
has been contemplating the wore of the ban
dits without uttering a word. At no time has
his countenance displayed the flush of alarm
to make up our New Testament were tho let
ters' written by Paul to the little scaltered
bands of believers that had gathered about
him in his sojournlngs in various places.
They were all written in Greek. The words
of Hun nn whom Paul rested his faith had all
been spoken many years previous in the
tongue of the Galilean fishermen, tho Syrlo
Chaldalc These words bad been handed
down from man to man, and the enlightened
consciousness of this very real man, Paul,
absorbed and assimilated them, and not only
translated them Into the fashionable languag
of his day, but tried to make their essence
and meaning fit the conditions of his many
little communities of believers. But when he
came to Athens, the seat and center of meta
physical disquisition, ho was, too, a metaphy
sician, and in their own tongue and in their
own thought repeated the fundamental idea
of the Hebrew genesis and the central idea of
the teaching of Jesus.
God, who made the world, and all things
that are in it, hath made of one all mankind,
to dwell upon the wholo face of the earth, de
termining appointed times and limits of their
inhabitation, that they should seek God, If
haply they may feel aKcr Him or And Him,
although He Is not far from any one of u;
for In Him we live and we move and we are,
as some also of your own poets said: "For we
also are His offspring."
.
And yet after 1800 years of flood and con
flict the assembled representatives of the
various forms of religions belief assembled at
the congress of religions in Chicago lis
tened to this summing up of the religious
status of the world:
'It Is not rivers or seas, mountains or des
erts, language or race that cause the deepest
and widest separations between man and man,
but religion. Differences of religion consti
tute the most marked dividing line between
people of tho same language, same race, and
same country. But wborevcr people may
meet, no matter what different language they
may speak, to what different races they may
-belong, or of what tint of color their features
may exhibit, as soon as they know they are
one in religion a profounjedly felt bond of
sympathy unites them as members of one
great family, as children of one great supreme
power."
Thii is true as a statement of the present
condition of religion in its worldly aspoct, but
Is it true in relation to tho "profoundly felt
bond of sympathy," or has it ever been true
since the first fishermen bands "held all things
in common?" Do all, or any, of the rich few
owners lie awake nights to find a way to help
their Indignant brethren to a comfortable
self-respecting independence? Is this true of
any church?
V
It is reported of Jesus that on one occasion
He said: "If they beliove not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they believe although
one arose from the dead." The Church
teaches not only a miraculous birth, but the
miracle of one rising from the dead. TbKls
reached in all languages, sung in all forms,
1 churches of everv variety of credal inter
pretation. Everywhere we see tho symbol of
tho cross. But the message of this heaven
sent messenger, tho dispatch, certainly should
be worthy the mighty effort of tho courier!
"As I have washed your feet, so wash 30 one
another's feet." "Let him who would be
greatest among you be servant of all." Thl3
is "My body broken for you." "I came not
to destroy the law, but to fulfill." Love is the
fulfilling of the law. Jesus camo to bring a
great new thought to a world lost In formal
Ism and dissension. That man served God
only by serving his own kind, finding the
image of God there. This thought is cow
disturbing the entire world because of its in
verse conception.
For centuries men looked for the second
coming of Jesus of Nazareth in tho flesh.
Without a conception of the coming of the
Christ into the hearts of men will not that
coming be signaled by the living index finger
coming Into the consciousness of men like
this: Cease to look on my birth and death,
but look on the thought I brought to the
world. That thought you have forgotten in
your vain hope to bo saved by a miracle.
The great miracle Is that of life and con
sciousness; that great receptacle of thought.
In the contemplation of this all the assemblies,
all the Brlggs', aro but the petty incidents of
the clash and clamor of personal opinion.
Jesus of Nazareth died by the hand of ritu
alism. He was crucified at the demand of bib
Heist, the custodians, the interpreters of
what they declared to bo the written word
of God. All that portion of the Bible Ezra
had collected ana inscribed, mat dook wnicn
then declared, as It now declares, that in
"man is tho image of God," they were will
ing, nay, anxious, to destroy tho image, be
causo it failed to reflect their opinion of what
a book doclared God to have said face to face
to one of his own images. If God is spirit,
how could ho communicate Hi3 will but
through the receiving spirit that was in man?
What Is the invisible wire of communication
save thought alone. It must have been as
true of Moses as of Dr. Briggs, "as a man
thlnketh so Is he," and is It not true that as
thought is the life and evidence of conscious
ness, that so far as thought is restricted so far
is consciousness dead and not alive.

From the Petersburg Index-Appeal
There is. The; WisniNGios Times says, a
three-term Congressman In the House of Repre
eentatlves who has neTer been in Virginia.
Within his vision for six years have been tho ex
quisite scenery of the bills across the Potomac,
tho old residence of Gen. Lee, the burial place
of tens of thousands of federal and confederate
soldiers; Summer and Winter have come. In a
climate approaching perfection, and yet this
hardened Burner has not creased any of the
bridges leading south, or visited Mount Vernon,
or Fredericksburg, or even Alexandria. The Index-Appeal
believes always in representatives
who represent, and has no sort of patience with
men who go to Congress for the benefit of some
district or section roniote from the place where
their own and their people's Interests are. but it
draws the line of commendation on the Con
gressman of three terms who has never been in
Virginia. Jle cannot serve effectively the peo
ple who sent him to Washington.
and anger one would naturally expect to And
depicted upon the face of one who is being
relieved of a fortune. A frown mantles his
Ann features, but It amounts to little elso than
a look of contempt
"The money is not my property," he says,
addressing himself lo the leader. "It was
intrusted to mo for delivery to its owner,
whoie whereabouts I have been seeking to
discover."
"I think you have found him," returns
Dangerfleld, sententlously, and the remark
ellqits a hearty laugh from the other highway
men. "In this instnnee might is right," tho cler
gyman responds, looking fixedly into the
robber's eyes. "Yet the honrt-broken mother
who entrusted to me the care of that money,
bidding me to deliver it to her wayward boy,
would hardly be satisfied with the transac
tion." Dangerfleld starts slightly, but answers
carelessly
"You have done what you could, so console
yourself with that thought. As for the boy,
no doubt he is a rich man by this time, and
does not need the money. We make fortunes
fast in tho West."
"So I perceive," says the other, dryly.
Dangerfleld turns away with an Impatient
movement. While this conversation has been
going on thoi remaining passenger has been
standing by. gazing upon the scene In open
mcutheid wonder. Ho is next searched, alter
which the baggage of both men is overhauled.
Nothing, however. Is taken except a large en
velope tied about with red tape which Danger
field finds in the clergyman's satchel. Without
stopping to examine its contents, he places it
in the Inner pocket of his coat.
Apparently satisfied with the result of their
work, the bandits toss the firearms belonging
to their victims into the stago and the leader
orders tho pa'r to clamber in; then tho driver
is commanded to "let her go," and the cumber

FLOWERS FOR THE GRAVES
Plants Best Adapted for Use in the
Cemeteries.
SOME HEALTHY BLOOMERS
Thoie Which Art Hardy Beqnir but Very
little Attention While Growing All
Colon Are Suitable for Graveyards A
Limited Selection.
Plants for use in the cemetery ought to be
tree bloomers, good growers, able to get along
with very little attention after planting, and,
above all, hardy, writes Eben E. Bexford in
the Domestlo Monthly. A tender plant is out
ot place there, no matter how beautiful it may
be, because most persons cannot give It the
protection it must have In order to endure our
long and severe winters.
These requirements necessarily limit us in
our selection. We have but few plants that
are free bloomers, robust enough to get along
with but little care, and perfectly hardy. Let
mo say, Just here, that I am not one of those
persons who consider no flower suitable for
cemotory use unless it Is white. All colors
aro appropriate there.
Among the shrubs the hydrangea Is per
haps best adapted for cemetery use, because
it is so extremely hardy, and because it is a
very late bloomer. It is also very pro fuse In
flowering. These qualities give it a piaee
near the bead of the list, if not quite at the
head. Success with it is reasonably certain
it it be planted in a rich soil and grass be
kept from choking it. It has a much more
symmetrical habit of growth than most shrubs
if left to take care of Itself, and this Is another
point In its favor. It one has a large lot I
would suggest planting several hydrangeas
in a group. The effect ot halt a dozen plants
placed so close together that they seem to be
one great plant when developed is very fine.
The result is much more satisfactory than
when the same number ot plants are scattered
about the lot.
Deutzlas, gracilis, and crenata are very de
sirable shrubs. They are not large growers,
therefore care should be exercised in planting
them. Ti'ever make the mistake of getting
them in the background. Give them a place
near the front ot the lot, where their beauty
can be fully displayed. These are much
more effective if grouped than when planted"
singly.
The welgelias are medium-sized shrubs.
They form a rounded, compact plant if cut
back somewhat during the first year or two,
and are more effective planted singly than
most ot our shrubs are. There are sev
eral fine varieties in ruse and red, and
one good white sort which can be used
very effectively in combination with tho
red because ot the contrast it affords.
Tho old purple lilac is admirably adapted
to cemetery use on a lot where there is no
tree and where a large shrub would be effec
tive as a substitute. It is one of the most
beautiful ot all our shrubs, blooms early and
profusely, and is entirely able to take care of
itself. It can be made to tako on a tree form
if thought best by allowing but one stalk to
grow, but I prefer to grow it as a shrub be
causo that seems to bo Its natural form. The
Persian lilac Is a more graceful variety than
the old sort because of its slenderer shape.
Its flower3 are very beautiful, but hardly as
sweet as those of tho other. There is'a white
lilac that would be pretty were it not for the
fact tbat its flowers are produced so far down
among the terminal leaves of the branches
that they are half hidden by them. It is not
so free a bloomer as the other sorts named.
Tho Japan quince, or cydonia, Is a very
charming early bloomer. Its flowers are a
rich, shining scarlet. It is a somewhat low
grower, therefore should have a place in the
foreground.
Ono of tbe most desirable plants for ceme
tery use with which I am familiar with is,
strange to say, but very little known. Why
It is not more extensively grown I cannot
say. It is perfectly hardy; it has pretty ever
green foliage, and beautiful pink flowers
borne in clusters at the end of the branches.
It blooms at Interval, during the season. For
front rows it is very desirable, being of low,
spreading habit. Its name 13 daphne moze
reum. I think it Is somewhat difficult to
propagate, and this probably accounts for Its
scarcity.
The best white rose for cemetery planting
is Mine. Planticr, a most profuse bloomer,
entirely hardy. Tbo rngosa varieties, with
their rich, crinkled foliage, are very pretty,
as the seed pods are as quite effective as
flower".
Among hardy perennial or herbaceous
plants theachlllca is a general favorite because
of its constant flowering habit. It is very
hardy. Tho flowers are small, but borne in
such clusters nit over the plant that a brave
show Is made by them. They are pare white,
and double.
Tho anemone Is an old favorite, as it well
deserves to be. It begins to bloom in Septem
ber as a general thing, and continues to
flower to cold weather sets in. Alba is pure
white, with yellow center; rubra rosy purple.
Both these varieties are single. A new vari
ety has been recently introduced under the
name of "whirlwind," that is quite double.
It is evidently a chance seeding from A. alba,
and It must prove a grand acquisition to the
list of desirable plants for cemetery use.
The herbaceous spireas are among our
most beautiful plants. Palmata bears great,
plume-like spikes of most graceful, delicate
flowers on stalks that lift them well above the
foliage. This variety Is bright rose. Alba is
pure white. These are very effective when
planted together.
The perennial phloxes are very desirable.
because they are so self-reliant. They do
enough better with good care to make it
worth wbilo to civo it. but they can get alone
very wen witn next to no care, ana on tuis
account they should be widely planted by
those who cannot give much attention to
plants on tho cemetery lot. They are won
derful bloomers, continuing until very late
in the season, and we have no plant making
a greater show of rich and dellcato color.
Tho rose and carmine varieties are finest, and
there are several good white varieties that
can be used with them.
There are two varieties of phlox suhlata
commonly called moss pink that are verv
suitable for cemetery use, because of their
low growth. They form a cushion of rollage
almost completely covered with flowers. One
variety Is pure white, the other rose-colored.
Coreopsis lancoolata is a very pretty yellow
Aower. It is most effective when planted with
robbery has faded away In tho distance, "but
It 'pears to me they hit you mighty hard, eh?"
"vTell," replies the clergyman, with an air
which does not exhibit much concern, "I do
not moum my loss, under the circumstances,
as much as I regret some other matters."
Ho does not volunteer an explanation, and
tho first speaker is disinclined to question
him, though greatly mystified by his inex
plicable conduct. To all appearances the
minister has become deeply interested in the
beautiful landscape without, and with an al
most lnaudiblo "That gets mel" the other
lapses into silence.
Dangerfleld and bis comrades are not long
in mounting their horses and quitting the
scene of their latest depredation. On and on
they rido, now traveling at a brisk pace
through beautiful valleys hemmed In by mas
sive walls of rock, now making their way
cautiously over dangerous mountain passes;
on and on until the sun has sank from eight,
and its golden glory has faded from the
Western sky.
At last tbe party comes to a halt in the very
heart ot a wild and desolate region. A skil

"Well, boys," says Dangerfleld, who bad
been gloomy and silent throughout tbe jour
ney, "Jet us have sapper, for I am as hungry
as a bear! Then we will attend to business. "
In a remarkably short space ot time a Are
is lighted, and a few minutes later tbe even
ing meal is prepared. It is a meagre spread,
but tho hungry mon eat heartily and with evi
dent relish. -
Let us look at them a moment as they sit
about an improvised table in tho shadowy
light of the declining Ore. Dangerfleld is a
young man, possessed ot a clean-shaven,
pleasing countenance, though one that be
speaks weakness of character, well built, and
dressed in a suit ot some black material,
which has not seen much service. Tbe others
are not so neatly dressed. They are rough,
bearded fellows, whose speech and manner
sets them in decided contrast with their
leader; It Is easy to perceive that the latter to
flowers ot other colors, yellow giving tone to
the group that It can gain in no other way.
A few yellow flowers have the effect on other
colors that sunshine has, and no garden is
complete without them. This plant is very
hardy and blooms through the entire season.
Some ot the early Spring blooming bulbs
should be planted on every cemetery lot;
snowdrops and crocuses will open the season
almost as soon as tbe snow vanishes, and the
narcissus, hyacinth and tulip will bridge over
the Interval between them and the early an
nuals. Lilies aro charming plants for tbe
cemetery, but one must confine his selection
to the hardier sorts, llkespoclosum album and
rubrum. What a magnificent plant LUlum
anratum would be for this purpose If it could
be depended on!
In locations where there is considerable
coolness and moisture the Japanese Iris suc
ceeds admirably. Its range of colors is won
derful; one gets the idea that a rainbow has
got tangled up among the plants. Tbe lily of
tho valley succeeds under similar conditions.
It is impossible to give advice tbat will be
of much value in regard to tbo arrangement
of plants ou cemetery lots, because condi
tions differ so widely. In order to give in
telligent advice one must know tho sizo of
the lot. Its shape and general outline. About
tbe only general advice that can be given is,
avoid the mistake of overplanting; that is,
f darning so many shrubs or plants that tho
ot will have a cluttered up, crowded look,
and concentrate your plants In groups, rather
than scatter them all over.

through the ground glass panels on which
was inscribed "J. Gervalse Litchfield, Esq.,

now turmoil and confusion. Gervalse Litch

down the apartment.
"It wa3 she, I am sure it was," he mur
mured. "But, oh, how she has changed! I
wonder if he proved faithless. If I only knew
but pshaw! I am getting sentimental. She
Is not worthy a second thought."
The grimy hand of the office boy held a
care. "Albert Dunsmore certainly, snow

"Hello, Jack, old fellow!" said the new

"Who are they?"
"That must remain a secret until you have

The moal concluded, tho plunder which bos
so easily fallen Into the hands of the band is
produced. The packages of bills aro first
given attention, surprise and delight beaming
from every countenance as the money Is
counted. It is scarcoly ten minutes before
the work is finished, and Dangerfleld an
nounces, amid deathlike silence:
"Two packages containing each one-hundred-dollar
bills, and two containing 100 fif
ties apiece 530,000 nonrly $8,000 each, be
sides tho watch and chain and tho western

It would be difficult to relate with what

received by each.

Dangerfleld answers with a nod speech

Dangerfleld says nothing further; but he

himself at full length upon a blanket and
sinks into alight, dream-haunted sleep.

REVOLT OF DAUGHTERS.
Mistake to Refer 1n this Way to Certain
English Girls.
Mrs. Sheldon Amos, in the Contemporary
Review, points out that lt Is a mistake to
speak ot the revolt ot the daughters In de
scribing the new position taken up by English
girls.
It Is not a revolt, but a natural process ot
evolution, Mrs. Amos says .
Even "society" has more than accepted
nursing as a noble profession for women.
The nurse comes from every grade, is met in
every hovel sad every drawing-room, her
freedom, her happy independence, her own
and others' sense ot her value; her accepted
jtnowieugeoitneaarKerjaiaes 01 uie in ail
of which respects sho is rivaled by that
mighty host ot sisters and deaconesses and
"church workers" of all sects have their in
structive and incitive influence on the borne
daughters. If society wants them to be Igno
rant and uninterested, like tbe legendary
English lady, it must arrange terras with the
hospital, the sick room, tbo pnrUh priest, tbe
social reformer. Meanwhile, our girls will
learn; will throw off their eWaiMling clothes.
Mrs.Amos waxes quiet eloquent In praise of
the girls' latchkey. The moro girln there are
who have latchkeys, she thinks, tbe better It
will be for oil concerned. Freedom brings
responsibility, and responsibility brings pru
dence. A great deal of tho Ill-health of our deli
cate girls arises from repression of their
young energy. The bpys, too, would be hys
terical If their youth were hedged in with so
many conventional restraints, thatt here would
be no room left for self-restraint. It every
thing they wore, every word they spoke, every
youthful grace and beauty, every intellectual
endowment were babltunlly looked upon und
openly spoken ot as mukinfr them more sala
ble articles. These thing belong only to tho
ages of slavery, and I would once and for all
protest tbat where there is a "market" mar
riage in its true sense cannot be said to exist.
So far from resenting the evolution ot tho
girl of the future, Mrs. Amos glorifies and
dofends their claim for freedom. She says:
"Certainly tho restrictions which produce
the feeble-wittcd, earth-bound Dodo must
give way to the freedom which will give the
angels in our houses room to grow their
six strong wings two for personal dignity
and beauty, two for spiritual elevation, and
two with which to flv on serviceable errands
for humanity."
This is a picture of the woman of the fu
ture as drawn by Mrs. Tneodore Sutro, a well
known society leader of New York:
"She will not wear trousers. On the con
trary, her garments will be prettier, and she
herself will be, if tbat is possible, mere
effeminate, more tender than she Is now:
"Why? Because she will reallzo, by being
all these, that her power will be Increased in
a corresponding ratio.
"Woman's rights are Invariably associated
In a man's mind with tho loud-voiced woman
without little personal vanities, the woman
who is indifferent to her appearance, who
wears big boots and would like to wear high
bats and make other incursions on his ward
robe. "There will be more marriages for love In
her day than there aro now, for tho reason
thatjiataral selection will replace conven
ience. She will be qualified for work, and,
not fearing it. will not marry for support.
"She will be able to provide for herself, and
when she marries it will be because she loves
tbo man, because he is congenial and sympa
thetic to her and will not retard her mental
and moral development. She will be fearless
and frank, and will have the courage ot her
convictions "
CANINE TRICKS IK COURT.
A Dog a Witness to Settle a Question of
Disputed Ownership.
A suit for the possession ot a black cocker
spaniel, valued at 8250, was continued in the
Sixth judicial district court yesterday, having
been adjourned from Inst Friday, says the
New York Herald. The plaintiff was Dr.
Sumter Battey, of No. 154 West Thirty
fourth street, and Mrs. Ida Streap, wife ot
John Streap, proprietor of the Wilton house,
in West Twenty-seventh street, was the de
fendant Dr. Battey identified the dog in
court He said that it had been given to him
by George Cromwell, a son of Professor
Cromwell, the lecturer, about two years ago.
He missed the dog flvo months later, and ono
month ago found It in tho possession ot Mrs.
Streap.
Michael Butler, a policeman, who was form
erly employed at the Coleman house, where
he was for a time the custodian of the dog,
identified It as Dr. Battey's. He undertook
to make tbe dog go through some tricks that
he had taught it
"He will come when I snap my linger," be
said.
He snapped his linger and the dog ran
away.
It was picked up and carried within tho
railing, an unwilling witness.
Butler then tossed the dog a lamp of sugar.
Tbe dog took it and appeared to begin to
take an interest In the proceedings. Counsel
for tbe defendant also tossed a piece of
sugar to the dog, and the animal impartially
took it
Butler tried to make the spaniel jump over
his uplifted leg, but tbe dog yelped, ran
away, jumped over tho stenographer's desk
and mad'j straight for Mrs. Streap. It was
dragged back, butthe trick was abandoned.
Another trick making the dog stand on his
hind legs was more successful. Mr. Butler
looked proud of his alleged pupil's achieve
ments, but tho dog didn't seem to think it
amounted to much. It was looking for more
sugar.
Mrs. Streap claimed that she- bad had the
dog in her possession three years and several
witnesses testified to that effect, but wben the
case was adjourned until next Thursday the
dog was left in Dr. Battey's custody.

Good Resolution
of Blonde Liz
It took a reform wave of large dimensions
to do It, but by and by a big religious billow
came along and swept "Blonde Liz" into a
Salvation Army prayer meeting. When the
wave receded, bearing away her sln3, she
felt so strange and lonely that she almost
wanted them back again. She wasn't her
self. Pulling her sins up by tbe roots didn't
agree with her at alL She missed the old
time mirth, the smiles and compliments, the
wlnesltnd suppers. In fact, ebo no sooner
resolved to drop tho old life and " 'bout face,"
as one of tbe Salvation corporals advised,
than she became sick and was whirled away
to n hospital for a two months' continuous
performance with typhoid fever for every
