was nil Institution. It Mils lint an iie
icshor.v to tlie toilet nil It i at t lie pres
ent time. It ft place where pro
found statesman unci polished patrieian
nnd perfumed epicurean met to lounge
nnd visit nnd discuss afTnlrs of Rtnte
um social Importance. They went
there with much ceremony) and pomp,
attended by their slaves-nnd arrayed In
(fnri;cou attire. They reclined In
dolently under nwtiings of bnrninif
crimson nnd royl purple nnd they,
feasted nnd drunk nnd spoke of the
beauties nnd the sonorous endrticc of
Homeric verse. And they watched t.lie
minlilfht fflint audi glitter on the per
fumed waters, turning them to limpid
nure at their feet, while the low, plain
the voice of some liroiize-Ki.lnned' harp
ist rose and fell in musical monotone,
sweet ns love nnd and n death, lulling
tlielr ejilcurenn senses to somnolent
roatent. It was nil lovely with the love
liness of nrt ami the poetry of un
shackled pnpinism. It had all the dig
nity of an njjo- that was sublime in it
tt iiioiisncHS nnd superb in its. Kin. It
wiis a scene that had all the color ami
fire anil barbarlo splendor beloved of
the Cnesnrs. It lina tilled the dreninin-j
eves of centuries of painters nnd been
liie Inspiration am) the drspnlr of brnin
mid eliisel.
It was nil this. Hut to-day there Is
change, 1'iiterfnniilias still takes hU
Lath. It U a weekly necessity, not n
ceremony. It is preceded and followed
by tri-weekly or dally "sponges," but
it is a duty to self nnd community, like
paying the taxes nnd, going to church.
And ho observes it In the same manner
and catalogues it on his mental en
gagement list under the same heading.
He regards it ns un unavoidable but re
grettable waste of time, insteadi of in
the HomnncKqtm light of sensuous
pleasure and social enjoyment. The
nerfumed waters are to him not
languorous with the Incense of Arnby,
but redolent with bath roup and am
monia. The marble srtcps and waves of
limpid azure have gone glimmering,
whither he wots not nor cares as he
lifts the soiled clothes basket, the
baby's rocker, n dress-suit cose and u
preserve kettle out of the tile bathtub
nnd turns on both taps.
And, to begin nt the beginning, the
modus operandi of paterfamilias on
bath night iu follows: HU wife com
nieuces by mentioning at dinner that
this is his bath night. He does not un
iwer with much enthusiasm nnd' the
matter drops. Then he rises from the
table, lights a cigar, sits down by the
study-lamp and hides himself behind
the paper. His better hall suggests
ihut he take his bath early to-night
and he murmurs:
"Kh? Oh, yes. The British certain
ly bit a bigger mouthful thnn they can
comfortably masticate. Serves 'em
right, cTrnt 'em! Turn the lamp higher,
will you?"
He read steadily for some time nnd
his wife finishes some darning, puts her
sewing materials neatly away nnd re
nuirks cheerfully:
"Don't forget your bnth, dear."
"Bath? Nope. Say, that was a bad
smushup on the X. it Q. Now, why in
buues they can't mnruige thin train
business better bents nie. They've got
their signal syntem, with all sorts of
frills on it, and yet they caji't stop nt
a crossroad or water tank but what the
next train has to plump into 'cm and
nd everybody to kingdom come.
'ow, if I were running a road "
"Are these Billy's cuffs, John?"
"Xo; mine. Say, if that boy don't
leave my linen alone there's goin' to bo
trouble. I never wore my father's
clothes. If I had I'd have been taken
for some unlistheuic exercises In the
woodshed. And his father's no better
than I mean, he's ns good as say,
Wlly's aching for a lickin' and he'll get
it one of these days. You'll see."
lie furns another page and there is
a long pause.
Presently his wife looks at the clock.
"My! It' nfter ten. Shn'n't I turn on
tho water lu the bath, John'."
Some innrtlculnto gmnts itsue un
musically from behind the paper nnd
ilrs. John rocks back nnd forth gently;
Soon she yawns a little nnd rubs her
eyes sleepilyi Then she studies the
tup of John's head doubtfully.
"John, dear, it's growing late. Won't
Jon take your bnth now?"
John dear jerks another page over
aud remarks amiably that he'll take it
in o minute, but why In the name of all
the gods they want to run that duffer
fur reelection Is beyond comprehen
sion. H is just such skates that don't
know enough to come in when It rains
real hard that seem to get in office
aoniehow. They and blacklegs. Now,
If he had been in office he w ould have
shown the party what was. what. In
the first pluco, he would
Mrs. John thinks ishe hears the baby
Mir and disappears In the bedjoom.
Wien she returns her husband has slid
down in his chair, w ith his head close
the lamp, nnd Is dead to the world
in the stock quotations. She tidies up
tho room, then hesitates nr.d says
-finally i
"John, dear, if you don't mind, I
think I will go to bed. Will you take
your bath soon?"
t Something like "Awrl gw'on finish
article" floats from the depths of the
wspnper and Mrs. John thankfully
departs.
"The towels are In the bathroom,
''. And your robe Is hnnging on
the door," she says from the bedroom.
'M'hm. Lemme lone n goterbed,"
iTiinbles from the stock quotations.
'Ohl and that new soap is In the
toeaiclno chest, John!"
Mrs. Jolin Is Just (Uizing off comfort
bly ns she Is suddenly mtartlcd' Into
wakefulness with:
"Mary, w herein thunder nre my bath
towels?"
She tells him they nre In the bath
room nnd he wants to know why on
rnrth she had not said so instead ol let
ting him hunt the flat for half nn hour
for towels w hen he wns worn out nnd
so sleepy he could hnrdly keep his eyes
open.
She says nothing, but sink back on
the pillow s and has Just cloned her eyes,
ns he dances In in a condition of ex
treme bnd temper nnd distinctly lm-inod-st
nttlre and demands to know if
hc hit used his bnth robe for a door
mat or sold H to the junk man, ns It
certainly is not In the flat. She tells
him It Is hanging on the back of tho
bathroom door nnd he dances out, re
minding her that if he dies of quick
consumption It will be her fault.
As she turns her -pillow over to the
cool side hp puts his head around tho
portiere and nslis, with intenw mild
ness, if she has given his flesh brush
nwny ns a prize at some of her cinch
pnrtles. He knows he used to ow n one,
but cannot find it, which Is not nt nil
strange In that house, r.inwiy. She re
mind him that he gnve it to the baby
to play hobby-horse with that morn
ing, lie stalks olT, stumbles over the
furniture, lights all the gas in the flat,
with the aid of several matches and a
good dmal of eloquence, nnd Mrs. John
finally creeps wearily out of bed nnd
finds the brush on the bathroom floor.
Then she retires to her bed.
In two minutes exactly hex lordcalls
her In tones that cause her to run to
the bathroom. And she finds him
garbed airily in a moderate-sued bath
towel nnd a liberal supply of what
looks like brown pnint. IDs face Is quite
purple nnd his langunge profane.
"Iodine! Iodine!" he sputters. "Look
at me, will ye? Kecpln yer dashed soap
In yer dashed medicine chest asthough
it was some cure for the includes. How
was 1 to know that dtished stopper
would come out, eh? Look nt me I I'm
a sight. And the dashed stuff has to
wear olT nothing but time and prnyer
and sand paper will move it. And I
found everything in there but soap -
soup and receipted bills! Everything
from cure for cramps to your marriage
certificate. Wipe me off, will ye? That
is, what will come otT. I know my buck
looks like a ltritish wnr map of Africa.
I'll go Into a museum us the only genu
ine tattooed man. Of ail the places to
say you keep soap, and nil the time I
suppose it Is behind your Venus dl
Medici lu the parloT, with a ten-ent
cup and saucer standing on it. That's
called artistic furnishing nowadays.
Don't take all the skin off my spinel
There, that'll do. G'wniv to btdi and
maybe I can take my bnth in pence
Have you got any washing powder or
lye, seeing there is no soap?
Mrs. John hands down two enkes of
sonp from the third shelf of the medi
cine chest and her husbund snorts as he
grabs a cake and steps Into the bath
tub. She goes back to bed and this
time fulls sound asleep. It seems to fTPr
that she has slept aliout five minutes
when she is aroused by the gas flaring
vividly) in her face. Shading her eyes,
she raises herse-M on one elbow and sees
her lord and master turning the bureau
drawers upside down on the floor.
"What are you looking for, John?"
Iler husband sits buck on his heels
and grips the bathrobe around him
with both hands.
"Looking for?" he remarks. "Look-
lug for? At thte time of night ? What
would anj' snne person be looking for,
do yer suppose? For one of my dress
nuit shirts, nraybe, or a pair of silk
socks with sunflowers embroidered on
Yin. Have I got a nightshirt to my
name or haven't 1? Or have you cut
'em nil down for Hilly? Have I any
rights In this house, anywny? I used
to have some clothes before I had u
family, but I'll be blamed if I have any
thing an3 more."
"My dear, your nightshirt is airing
over the back of that chuir beside you,"
sava Mrs; John.
"Air is it? Well, why in thunder
didn't you suy so? Here lve gone
through ull the furniture from the,
chiffonier to your wrlting-dk look
leg for that shirt rather than wuke
you up. Hut I'm the only one that
sterns to have any consideration for
ether people In this family."
Mrs. John yuwus a little and turn
over ns her lord struggles into th
nightshirt. lie button the shirt at tha
neck, then fcteps over the chaos of un
derclothes that he has deposited on
the carpet, shoves a pile of laces nnd
gloves that he has emptied from the
bureau draw ers aside with one foot and
winds his watch. Then he shakes his
sleeping wife by the shoulder and asks
her where the keys of the buffet are,
ns he knows he is in for a good cold
unless he enn take something to ward
It off. He is drowsily informed thut
the keys are in full view on her comb
trny on the dressing tablu and ho de
parts for the dining-room, remarking
that if people wouldl only leave his
clothes and things where he could fliul
them without the aid of a microscope
he would be grateful. Later on she is
aroused with a request for her mani
cure scissors, but she objects mildly
and gives him her penknife. Five min
utes later hho is startled by a fervent
declaration that he would like to see
her knife in another country farther
south, and she gets up to hunt oourt
plasiter. Mrs. Jojin feels rather tired by this
time nnd the next morning she has a
headache, but when she reads his let
ters from New York, In which he says
ha Is so enjoying his Turkish baths,
which he Is taking regularly, she
thinks of buth night at home nnd sighs
retrospectively and wonders much.

Rtate Chalrmnn ItHIIng was recog
nized at the Kansas City convention by
being made a member of the commit
tee on notification. Mr. Rilling has
been a constant nnd persistent Hrynn
man, and It was fitting that he should
be selected ns one of the committee to
notify Mr. Hryan formally of the con
vention's action.

Ex-Governor Robert K3. Pattlson was
one of the most popular delegates at
the Kaunas City convention. Having
been twice elected governor of the
stronghold of a high protective tariff.
It Is not stranRe that he has a national
reputation, lion. Robert 12. Pattlson
is one of the able men of the party,
nnd his speech at the convention was
one of the best made during the ses
sion. The more the light la turned upon
MeKlnley's work in the Philippines
the worse It looks. No less an authori
ty thnn Richard HrliiRley Sheridan has
published a book describing what he
knowa of the Filipinos from personal
observation. He declares that before
going to Manila his sympathies were
entirely American, but he says: "After
a short time In Manila I discovered
that the Filipinos have been grossly
misrepresented. Where I had expected
to meet people unworthy of recogni
tion, I found men of refinement and
cultivation: individuals of Intellect and
educntlon who objected to the Ameri
can policy of extermination and to the
arrogance of Gen. Otis." If the Amer
ican people understood the case; If
they would believe the reports of fair
minded authorities Instead of the cen
sored reports sent out by military sa
traps, the serrse of Justice thnt still re
mains would raise such a storm of pub
lic indignation as to force McKlnley
and his policy of "benevolent assimi
lation" Into permanent retirement
without delay.
Our "strenuous" efforts In attempt
ing to teach the Cubans the art of self
government are about as consistent ns
Satan's attempts at preaching the gos
pel. Cuba Is undergoing a system of
taxation thnt will speedily turn her
plantations over to the control of the
land grabber. Through the devasta
tion of war many of the Cubans lost
all they had except their land, which
they do not now hnve the means to cul
tivate. Oen. Wood, In spite of their
helplessness and poverty, has Issued
an order declaring that estates shall
be taxed just tho same as If worked
to their full producing capacity. If
the tax Is not paid within two months
of levy six per cent additional Is added,
and If delayed six months 12 per cent
is added, nnd so on. This, in many
cases, means confiscation, just what
the land speculator. In league with the
officials, desires. The rate of taxation
Is worse than any that King Oeorge
the Third ever Imposed on the colonies.
It amounts to $10,000,000 annually, or

Like mofit of his fellow men, the
writer felt when the hot days of July
came that he would like to spend a
few days at the seashore. Cape May
was chosen as the objective point,
partly because of its magnificent beach
and partly for the reason that it can bo
reached from Philadelphia by boat.
The fine steamer Republic makes the
round trip daily during the summer
season, and the trip down the historic
Delaware Is a most enjoyable one, and
will bear repenting again and again.
Our stay at the Cnpe wns made doubly
pleasant by the excellent accommoda
tions and service at Congress Hall,
under the efficient management of Miss
R. Halpln. Congress Hall stands In
the midst of a magnificent lawn on the
highest point of land at the Cape and
affords a fine view of tho ocenn. It
has passenger elevators, electric lights
and perfect sanitary arrangements.
Miss Halpin formerly conducted the
Windsor, at Cape May. and that house
under her Judicious management pros
pered greatly. Since she left It the
larger portion of Its aristocratic pa
tronage has followed her to Congress
Hall. Cape May Is not the place where
politicians meet to concoct schemes of
conquest, but many of them go there
for rest when tired of the worries of
political life.
Fifteen years ago Lord Wolseley and
o'her F.nglish writers pointed out the
danger of teaching the Chinese tho art
of war. The hardy nature of the Chi
nese, their Indifference to life and
death, and their aptness to learn were
commented upon to show thiit if they
should be tnusht the methods of mod
ern warfare China, with her 400,000,
000, might sweep civilization from the
earth. This lesson was unheeded. The
spirit of greed and commercialism,
which heeds nothing but Its own insa
tlnto greed for plunder by fair means
or foul, rushed in to supply China with
all the hellish instruments of destruc
tion that wicked civilization hns de
vised. Germany sold tho Yellow Men
400,000 Mauser rifles, many large Krupp
guns and tons of ammunition at a big
price. England sent her agents to se
cure a share of the blood money and
took as many orders as possible for
Whttworth and machine guns, while
the United States clamored to have
the open door opened still wider that
she might have a larger share In tho
wages of sin. Now the worm Is begin
ning to turn, and who can say that the
retribution Is not Just, if the Chinese,
Instructed in the art of destruction and
death and furnished with the means
to lay nations waste, should now turn
upon those who taught them the bloody
art of war? War la hell. CurBed be
war and all who In any manner aid to
keep Its unholy spirit alive.
