KNEW AHD WAS NOT AFRAID.
Dyi* Mother CtelM Coarac* lor
Her Jouraer Away fronf titer
Little Danffh|erX
A touching and most unusual little
incident of a young mother who was
hopelessly ill, but quite unconscious
of her condition, is described by the i
Boston Courier.
One afternoon the physicians held
a consultation, and afterward an*
nounced to the husband and sister
of the patient the sad fact that she
had but a short time to live.
It was questioned whether it would
be advisable to tell the sick woman
or not. They talked the matter over
quite unmindful of little Edith, the
five-year-old child of the dying wom
an, who was quietly playing with her
dolls, apparently unconscious of
what was going on about her.
In a few minutes the little girl
left her toys, walked slowly up the
stairs and went directly to her
mother's room. With the aid of a
chair she climbed on the bed, kissed
her mother's pale cheek, and then
asked her in low, tender tones:
"Mamma, are you 'f'aid to die?"
The mother was at first startled by
the question and asked: "Who told
you? Do they think"
"Oh, mamma, dear," murmured the
child, "you needn't be 'f'aid at all.
Hold my hand tight shut your eyes
close. I will stay by you, and when
you wake up adain it will be all
right."
The eyes were closed, the hand
tightly clasped for a few minutes,
and when, a little later, the other
members of the family entered the
room the mother was quietly sleep
ing, and the child said:
"I told mamma, and she was not
'f'aid to die."
The sick woman opened "her eyes
and said: "Yes, I know, and I am
not afraid."
A SPINNING GHOST.
Upon Inveatlamtloa Proved to Be
Rat Enjoying: a Run Around
tbe Wheel.
On the post road in southern New
Hampshire stands an old house which
was once famous for its ghost. It
had been a tavern, owned and man
aged by two brothers and two sis
ters named Mason, relates the
Youth's Companion.
The youngest of the family, Han
nah, had been jilted in her youth.
After her desertion she never entered
any door save that of her own home,
but gave all her strength to hard
work. She would hatchel flax for
weeks, spin unceasingly and weave
on a hand loom, without apparently
a thought of rest.
She died after a short illness, and
still travelers said that their slum
bers were disturbed by the whir of
the wheel. Soon it was whispered
about that the Mason house was
haunted. Strange sounds were heard
from the garret where Hannah had
always worked, and plainest of all
was the hum of the great wool wheel.
The brothers heard the story, and
at once set out to solve the mystery.
Joseph went to the garret and
watched. After a time the wheel be
gan to revolve He struck a light.
On the rim of the wheel was a great
rat, running around.
Frequent visits to the garret ren
dered this rat so tame that he would
come out on the spinning wheel by
daylight, and several others were oc
casionally seen to take a spin in the
wheel, as if it were a pleasant recre
ation.
A PRINCE'S EDUCATION.
One Thine That Little Edward of
York Rebelled Ag-alnat But
Had to Learn.
The present idol of the British pub
lie is Prince Edward of York, eldest
son of the duke of York, grandson of
the prince of Wales, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, and heir in the direct
line of the crown of Great Britain.
Prince Edward, having been born on
June 23, 1894, is now well into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite a
big boy, says Youth's Companion.
His brother Albert is a year younger,
and the two princes have had, perhaps,
their share, but no more, of brotherly
"scraps." The duke of York is said
not to have interfered with their small
wars, saying that to "let them fight it
out will make them better men." But
he has interfered successfully with an
other weakness of Prince Edward.
It is customary for the royal chil
dren, in meeting the queen, to kiss her
hand and not her cheek but Prince
Edward did not like to do this, aniob
jected strenuously. One day he-heard
some one speak of "her-majesty."
"I know who 'her majesty' is," said
he "it's just granny!"
"And who was the naughty little
prince" hand?

"That was me," said Prince Edward,
unabashed, "and Vm not going to kiss
granny's hand!"
But when he had arrived at the age
of five he felt himself quite a man, and
began to do as other men didkissed
the queen's hand and always doffed his
cap in her presence.
Performed a Filial Duty.
Joe was such a patheticlittle man.
He came from a quarter of the city
where crime and misery had formed a
background for the five weary years
of his unnatural little life. He was
late to kindergarten one morning, and
was asked to sit by the door until the
morning exercises were over. Before
being restored to grace the''teacher
asked him why he was so late. "Well,"
replied Joe, "the patrol came after my
mother, and I waited to see her o,"

Tb0 French Election*.
*h& "Pari, la Prance" wai again
disproved by tb* late election of mem
bers of the chamber of deputies. While
the result in Paris is a decided defeat
for the government of M. Waldeck
Rousseaud. thesingle pr
mg
W
not a Ministeralist be
e,ecte
administration
ing elected, the provinces have given
a substantial in
dorsement, returning a sufficient num
ber of deputies to more than overbal
ance the anti-Ministerial vote of the
capital. As the municipal government
of Paris was already antagonistic to
the Waldeck-Rousseau administration,
he is no worse off there than before
the elections.
The government had to meet the
inimical influence of the Clericals in
the west of France and the strong op
position of the Militarists in the east,
where the memory of the Franco-Prus
sian war is still keen. In the central
and southern regions the government
has made gratifying gains. The vote
everywhere was about one-fifth heav
ier than at the last elections.
The results on the whole give the
conservative administration of M. Wal
deck-Rousseau a safe majority of the
584 seats of the chamber of deputies.
The time was when, to use an Ameri
can expression, it might have been said
that "as goes Paris so goes France."
Happily for the safety of republican in
stitutions in France,this is no longer so.
The steadier and more representative
provinces now outweigh the capital,
the home of disintegration and political
revolutions which have so frequently
threatened the republic.
Chicago Justifies Her Title.
According to the annual summary of
the weather bureau touching the ve
locity of the wind in various sections
of the country, Chicago leads all Amer
lean cities in the total miles of wind
movement during the year. This was
145,193, or an average of 16% miles an
hour. At only two stations of the bu
reau was the total wind mileage for
Chicago exceeded. These were Block
island, on the Rhode Island coast of
the Atlantic, where the total for the
year was 152,838 miles, and Mount I p*
ocean from a height of 2,375 feet,
where the total miles of wind move
ment were 163,203, which is the highest
point registered at any of the weather
bureau station's. The lowest figures
were at Roseburg, Or., where the total
mileage was 30,471, or an average of
3% miles an hour. At the weather sta
tion in New York the total miles of
wind movement were 127,267, or an
average of 14% miles an hour. The to
tal movement in some other cities was
as follows:
Miles.
Cleveland 128,566
Buffalo 125,042
Boston 98,755
Philadelphia 95,319
St, Louis ss 84,482
New Orleans 74,299
Louisville 70,396
Washington 63,629
By this showing Chicago is fully
justified in the assumption of the title
of "Windy City."
On the 6th of June next, after forty
one years of continuous service in the
medical department of the army, Dr.
George M. Sternberg, now surgeon
generaL will be retired under the oper
ations of the law. During these forty
one years Dr. Sternberg has rendered
his country inestimable serviceserv
ice not less valuable and heroic than
that rendered by generals in the field.
There is now a bill before congress
which has the approval of the war de
partment which provides for the re
tirement of Surgeon General Stern
berg with the rank and emoluments of
a major general. It would seem to be
only even justice to thus provide for a
faithful and efficient officer who has
spent the greater part of a lifetime in
one of the most important branches of
the government service.
Americans are the greatest beef eat
ers in the world. The rate per capita
of meat consumption in a year in the
United States is a third larger than
England, twice as large as France*,
two and a half times larger than Ger
many, Belgium or Denmark, three
times as large as Russia and Ireland
and six times as large as Italy. Thus
when the trust boosts the prices to a
point where many American families
are forced to go without the meat diet
to which they have been accustomed it
is no wonder that indignant protests
are raised all over the country.
The discussion of the masculine shirt
waist question has been reopened.
While the shirt waist for men may or
may not be in good form at certain
social functions, the discussion of it
has become decidedly threadbare.

It is said that the American oyster
will have a conspicuous place on the
menu cards at the coronation banquets.
It may be suggested also that there
will be a good many American lobsters
in.Condon at that time.
The counterfeit cent is now supple

Obviously the counterfeiting business
is being conducted upon a very narrow
margin of profits.
Governor General Wood says that
any statement that Rathbone did not

brief, but it is sufficiently pungent to
be understood.
ASK# "CUB A
TO COME IN
By Congressman FRANCIS G. NEWLAND8 of Nevada
E
Tamalpais, overlooking the Pacific idea is to give her a reduction of 25 per cent on all her products for

OR the first time in our history we have claimed the
nght to annex territory which is to be subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States and not a part of it.
The right is asserted to hold the people of suc^t terri
tory as subjects and not citizens. It is not to be
expected that Cuba will be willing to assumej abject
a position, and it is perfectly natural that she should fear to make
the first overtures toward annexation on the ground that she may
be put in the inferior position now occupied by the Philippine Is-
lands. It seems to me, therefore, the part of wisdom for this gov-
ernment to show her at this time that she has no reason for appre-
hensions of this sort. The course by which this may be done is per-
fectly simple.
CUBA 18 NOW ASKING FOR COMMERCIAL UNION. THERE
18 NO REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT MAKE A COUNTER
PROPOSITION AND INVITE HER INTO A POLITICAL UNION WHICH
WILL MEAN THE FREEST COMMERCIAL UNION AND WHICH
WOULD ULTIMATELY MAKE OF CUBA ONE OF THE WEALTH-
IEST, MOST PROSPEROUS AND MOST POWERFUL STATES IN
THE UNION.
COMMERCIAL UNION CAN ONLY E ACCOMPLISH
E A POLITICAL UNION. The resolutions I have intro-
duced invite Cuba to become a part of the United Statesnot a'
subject territory. They provide that she is to have a territorial
form of government under the constitution and laws of the United
States, including the tariff laws, and that her people are to be citi-
zens, not subjects, as are the people of Porto Rico and the Philip-
pine Islandsin other words, to admit her as an infant state, with*
the assurance of ultimate statehood. Of course, her admission to
statehood would depend upon the rapidity with which she prepares
herself.
I do not believe that Cuba should be expected to make up her
mind at once upon this THERE SHOULADT BE NOTH-
FORCINsubject. HER INTO ANNEXION.
one year or lor two years, in order to tide over existing or probable
economic difficulties. I would make annexation the reason for these
temporary reductions, its one purpose being to give the Cuban peo-
ple an opportunity for deliberation and consideration unaffected by
pending economic distress.
I believe that in view of the fact that we have lately entered upon
a policy of imperial expansion Cuba would naturally be reluctant
to apply for annexation, fearing that her fate would be that of
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. There seems to me no ques-
tion that the time is opportune for extending such an invitation
as I propose to the Cuban people. It does not involve anything
like coercion or force. It gives them ample time for deliberation.
It is the highest honor which the United States could extend, and
it is an honor which, in my opinion, would be accepted.
Men Should Try Men 1
Women Try Women
By JAMES M. FITZSIMONS, Chief Justice of the City Court of
New York
AM CONVINCED THAT IF A YOUNG AND HAND
SOME MAN WERE TRIED FOR MURDER, HIS
JURORS BEING WOMEN, HE WOULD UNDOUBT-
EDLY BE ACQUITTED. HIS PERSONALITY WOULD
APPEAL TO THEM.
This is much more true when a woman is tried by
men. They cannot bring themselves without a mighty effort to send
a young and it may be beautiful woman to her doom, and NOTH-
ING AFFECTS A JURY SO MUCH A S A PAIR OF BEAU-
TIFUL EYES USED WITH DISCRETION.
A man has no knowledge of the inmost workings of a feminine
mind. cannot fathom the deep down machinations of lovely
woman. only knows that the stake is a woman's honor, a wom-
an's freedom, and he acts accordingly.
IT TAKES A WOMAN TO UNDERSTAND A WOMAN, TO KNOW
HER TEMPTATIONS AND HER WEAKNESSES AND HER MOTIVES.
It is often said that a woman has no sympathy for a woman.
But let us pause and ask the question, "Is it sympathy or senti-
mentality that sways a man I am inclined to the belief that it is
pure sentiment.
The law stands that a suspected criminal shall be tried and con-
victed, if guilty, by the judgment of his peers, and this means, if
it has any meaning, those who experience the same trials and trou-
bles, joys, sorrows and temptations as the accused.
How Woman Suffrage
Works In Colorado
By United States Senator THOMAS M. PATTERSON of Colorado
QUAL SUFFRAGE, IN MY JUDGMENT, BROAD-
ENS THE MINDS OF BOTH MEN AND WOM-
EN It has certainly given us in Colorado candidates
of better character and a higher class of officials. It is
very true that husband and wife frequently vote alike.
As the magnet draws the needle they go to the polls together. But
women are not coerced. If a man were known to coerce his wife's
vote, I believe he would be ridden out of town on a rail with a coat
of tar and feathers.
WOMEN'S LEGAL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED IN COLO-
RADO 8INCE THEY OBTAINED THE BALLOT. THERE ARE NOW
NO CIVIL DISTINCTIONS EXISTING BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN,
AND E^UAL SUFFRAGE TEND8 TO MAKE POLITICAL AFFAIR8
BETTER, PURER AND MORE DESIRABLE FOR ALL WHO TAKE
PART IN THEM.
