II II II Is It wise for public men to marry? This singular question Is raised by the veteran Journalist, Jo Hoiward. who an were It In the Chicago Times-Herald by citing, without expressing either In ference or Judgment, a few Instances along: the line of fact. Says he: "The first public man of great note I was privileged to know was Henry "Ward Beecher. He married when very young. The girl whom he sought and won was a well-born, well-bred child of a New England clergyman, quite attractive In appearance, but giving no sign at that time of the tremendous virility of her character, mental and physical. It would e Idle to tell the present gen eration of Beecher himself. His was one of five names cf the century (Na poleon. Cavour, Morse, Bright being the rled Beecher was prolino in children and trouble. They were poor as Pover ty's pocket. (Mrs. Beecher'e 111 health was a moving factor in the great preacher's determination to leave the west and come east. (Beecher, full blooded, good-natured, sealous and forceful In every nerve and sinew, looked like a boy when he made his first great success on the platform of the Broadway Tabernacle, along about 1816 and 1547, but his good wife, un dertoned, undermined, physically ex hausted by the frightful exactions of her western experiences, was thin and pale, haggard and apparently with one foot In the grave. So marked was the contrast that a sympathizing old lady In the car, Beecher having: Jumped off to get his wife a glare of milk or some thing, leaned forward and aald to Mrs. Beecher, TOow thankful you should be, madam, for so good and thoughful a on.' Jf ever there was a socially dls " posed man, with full bannered hospi tality and wide horlroned desire to be surrounded with affectionate and re sponsive friends. Beecher was. It's a very different thing, however, for a man to rill hi house with friends, he buoyant wtttt life, the red blond of per fect health coursing through his veins, and for a woman In poor health, tired, anxious and much of the time in pain, to Drenare for their entertainment Th . consequence was In this particular In stance that tbe Beecher home was not, as It would have been under other cir cumstances, a particularly- attractive place or one in which many Intimates felt at ease. A curious ending was that, however, which years ago removed the foremost orator and preacher of his time from the scenes of his earthly la bors, leavlnor his rood wlf tn nerfert health, mental and physical, to mourn ' hi loss and to battle with the world he left. II II II THE SAILOR MAID: She's as trim and trig as the tautest brig That e'er was seen on -the sea; In her yachting gown from foot to crown She's fair as a maid may be. She can reef and tack like a "Jolly Jack" Though the billows chop ami chum. And she knows the ropes as) a bard his tropes - From the bowsprit to the stern. She Is up and out with a laugh at doubt Though the whistling gale be high: And a deep-sea blue Is the witching hue Of her charming weather eye. There's not a pink on the ocean's brink In the heart of a blushing shell That can match the glint of the tender tint Of ber soft cheek's delicate swell. Ah! happy ship that can dance and dip With her from the dullard shore, For she's friend to the wind that blows behind And the wlnfl that blows before!' With such a lure, O, my lads be sure ' . ., I shall try the life of a tar. And sail away to Proposal Bay, With love for a guiding star. ,. . II II II -. "The name of Abraham Lincoln,' continues Mr. Howard, "stands In the estimate and affection of the American people side by aide with that of George Washington.' Ivlneoln married young and when public life wasn't dreamed of by him or his friends. Hie and the young woman were poor, and. In the broad sense' of the term, uneducated. Experience at the bar, on the stump, in congress, broadened him somewhat In pirtilio affairs and general Information, but socially regarded the Lincoln were In 1860 precisely where they were In 1840. To him the presidency meant an awful responsibility before God and man; for him it was an opportunity for the display of patriotism, humanitar tanlsra, loyalty to principle and a study of diplomacy, to the outworking of which tie fully -rose. For her It was an amazement, not only a picture of. . but a participation in, the glories, the .'datsUng splendors of an utterly, new and unknown existence. She had been the wife of Abe Lincoln, a "highly re spected, universally loved Illinois law yer. She became the wife of tho presi dent of the United States, the first lady of the land, a target for every artist, a subject for every writer. She was a plain-faced, , stocklly-bullt, easy-na-tured kindly hearted woman, honestly Judged. If, however, she were to be considered from the newspaper point of view, her bearing was regal, her face perfection, her hair, superb, her figure faultless, her character the ne plus ultra of womanly possibility. The tuff written about Mrs. Graver Cleve land isn't In it when compared with that written about this good tady as he stood on Mie threshold of power, of dignified possibility, from which dimly dawned the horlson of a na tion's agony. Briefly put. the president stood the test and stood It alone. He had no help in any line from any mor tal kith or kin. II II II : TUB DIFFERENCE: How beautifully Miss Van Wyta . IIum 4lua AM il - I.

It would a folly to assume Ignorance of that . vhloh was very well known immediate- y before the nomination. Tne situ' ion was simply an argument in favor of bachelorhood, for men whose sole ilm. ambition and desire is success in publlo life.

Whether he intended treason to Sherman or not has nothing to do with the fact that the nomination and election to the presidency quickly fol lowed. He had no time to think of aught beyond fidelity to the public ser vice, as steps to his own advancement from station to station. Domesticity played no factor In such a career. The story of the Ulalnes is a household word. In many senses the greatest of American statesman, he never lived an Ideal existence in domestic circles, Neither did nor oould Koscoe Conk- ling." Upon the whole. Mr. Howard Inclines to the belief that young men who intend to lead public lives, In poli tics, on the stage, in the pulpit, on any one of the several highways attract Ing universal attention, can very much better go It alone, which may seem trea sonable, but which it at least no more than poetic retribution for the auriac Ity of rhe new woman In planning, as she so busily does these days, a manless career. ONE RELIEF: " " " There's the mannish new woman and the smurt new woman. Ami the. new woman awfully rude. But let us thank heaven that up to date no man Has discovered a new woman dude. Indianapolis Journal. II II II In these rays of fun-poking at the new woman, It Is pleasant, observes Walter Wellman, to be told on the au thority of a government department chief, that women are tne most etliclcnt clerks employed by Uncle Sam In his great offices at this capital. "The av erage woman clerk knows her Job with the government Is the best she will ever get. said the experienced chler, "anil her sole anxiety is to hold fast tea good thing. Therfore she puts in solid, earnest work, Is faithful and painstak ing, and striving all the time to please her superiors and to give no possible cause for criticism. The average man employed In the departments Is dis contented. He Imagines he was In tended by nature for better things. The civil service Is to him merely a stepping stone. Perhaps one-half of the men clerks are scheming to get Into some business or profession. They neglect their duties more or less and have no pride In their work. The women are paid the same as the men and worth a good deal more." II II II HAS TO PLEASE THE BOYS: The Topeka Press had two reporters In Atchison last Thursday, and It lsue of yesterday says that John J .Ingalls wore placard bearing the following words: This Is to certify that I. ANNA LOUISE INOALLK, THE LEOALLY VKIIKJ WIFE OF JuH.V JAMES INGALLS, Do herby permit my husband ; to go where he pleases, drink what and when he pleases, and stay out as late as he likes, and I also permit him to keep and en- ioy the rompany of any ludv or ladles If he sees fit, ss I know ha Is a good iudse.

' I! 1111 SELECTED RECIPES: A preserve that Is generally liked Is made wlrih cantaloupe, peaches and pears. Take the Inside of a half doien lemons and remove the seeds and chop the pulp. Put It In a preserving kettle with two quarts of water and ten pounds of sugar. Place over tne nre and let the contents cook fifteen minutes after ithey commence to boll. Have six pounds of pears peeled and cut Into slices and add to the syrun. Cook fifteen minutes before ad ling six pounds or cantaloupe, weigneu artcr It has been peeled and cut Into thin pieces. Lastly, add six pounds of peaches, pared and quartered. Cook together very slowly lhn?-nuarte'r of an, hour. Turn Into glass Jars and seal. Apples are fine and plenty this season. ami make a delicious sweetmeat as well as being suitable fur canning for early spring use. For sweetmeats, select ripe golden pippins, russets or greenings, peel, quarter, core, and weigh Ihem. Put them in a porcelain kettle and cover with boil ing water. Let them cook slowly until tender enough to pierce with a straw. Meanwhile make a syrup of one quart of water, two pounds of sugar and the Juice and grated rind of one lemon to four pounds of fruit. When the apples are len der, take them from the water, drain, and pu them Into the boiling syrup and cook until clear. Place the fruit In glass Jsrs, pour the syrup over them and seal. Equal quantities of apples and pineapple, omitting the lemon, make an exceedingly nice sweetmeat. Apples make a pretty as well as excel lent Jelly. The tart and Julny rail pippins are perhaps the best apples to use for this purpose. Wash them and cut Into quar ters without peeling or taking out the core. Put them In a porcelain kettle and pour water over them. Cover snd 00k until the fruit Is soft. Wet a Jelly bag In boiling water snd suspend It from a stick planed across two chairs. ' Pour the cooked apples Into the bag and let them drain. Do not press or rhe Jelly will not -be clear. To every pint of Juice allow a pound of granulated sugar. Put the Juice In a porcelain kettle and let It boll steadily twenty minutes. Place the sugar on tins and pot In the oven. Stir to get thorough ly heated, and, when the Jelly has boiled the required time, turn the heated sugar Into It, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon until the sugar Is all dissolved. 'Heat the Jelly glasses fay standing them In hot water and place In each glass a rose gersnlum leaf. Let the Jelly boll up once and pour H Into the glasses. The gera nium leaf Is said to improve the flavor of the Jelly and certainly Is very pretty to see when the mould Is turned out on a dainty cut-glass dish. Quinces make a rich preserve. Peel, core and quarter them, or when peeled cut m slices across the fruit and core, making rings of them. Have half as many apples as you have quinces (pound sweets are the best) snd out In the same manner. Put the quinces In a preserving Kertie wim water enough to cover them. Place over the fire and let them simmer. When partly cooked add the apples and cook both until tender. Skim out the fruit and lay on platters, and to every pint of Juice use three-quarters of a pint of. sugar and let the whole cook half an hour. Return the fruit to the liquid and cook ten minutes longer. Green tomatoes make an admirable pre serve. Select very small green tomatoes and prick each one with a fork. To eight pounds of fruit take seven pounds of sugar and the Juice of four lemons. Put all together In a porcelain kettle and let them simmer until the tomatoes are clear. Take out the fruit with a skimmer, filling glass Jars three-quarters fulL To the syrup add two teaepoonfula of extract of ginger and boll until as thick as required. Pour over the fruit, filling the Jars, and seal. A recipe worth trying Is for tomato honey. Secure ripe yellow tomatoes, wash them, cut Into pieces, and put Into a porcelain kettle. Let them cook slowly three-quarters of an hour. Strain through a fine sieve, and to every pint of liquor put a pound of granulated sugar and four tatfeepoonfuls of lemon Juice and boil H until It Is a thick syrup. A Jelly may be made la tbe same way with red tomatoes. In place of the lemon, flavor with ginger extract, and cook until it will Jelly. Put It In glasses, and when cold cover. An old-time and always good sweetmeat Is preserved pumpkin chips. To prepare them select a ripe pumpkin of a deep yel low color and cut it Into strips, pare off the outside rlnd, and remove the seeds. Cut the strips Into thin shavings, weigh them, and to each pound of the shavings allow a pound of granulated sugar. Place the shavings and sugar In a porcelain lined kettle, with the Juice of three lemons to each pound of fruit, and add to this a quarter of a pound of ginger root to three pounds of fruit. Wash, scrape, and cut the ginger root Into thin pieces. Cover and let It remain over night. In the morning put over the tire and cook slowly until the pumpkin becomes tender and clear. 8tlr as Utile as possible to avoid breaking the pieces. When the pumpkin chips are sufficiently cooked skim out carefully and put In Jars or glasses. Strain the liquor 'through a fine wire sieve and pour over them. Cover when cold. Another very old recipe is for apple but ter. To make It till a large preserving kettle with cider and boll It down to two-thirds the original quantity. Pare. Core and slice apples enough to have the cider Just cover them, and cook slowly until the ap ples are soft. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon. Take from the fire and lot the mixture cool In the kettle. The next day put It over the lire again and boll down to the consistency of mush and as brown In color. It may be spiced or not to the taste. Put In a atone Jar and keep in a cool place. New York Hun.

If this habit was universal there Is little doubt that pulmonary affections would be decreased one-half. The Philadelphia Record gives this remedy fur gall slows: At the time of the attack when the (win is severo apply heat. Wring a cloth out of hot water and apply to the seat of the pain. Keep the cloth hot by placing a bottle of hot water against It the hot water rubber bag Is the most comfortable to use; also drink a teacupful of sweet oil.

Composed and read at Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 14. ISM. on the occasion of the dedi cation of the tablet of the One Hundred and Forty-third Pennsylvania volunteers, by Edward A. Nlven. Behokf today these hills serene and fair! Upon whose crowns soft falls tbe dew of peace; These stately, solemn ridges where In days agone the blase and battle glare And hurtling shot and shell . . Made here a furious hell. . Where cannon roared and all the air Rang with the awful echoes of dismay; Raug In the night and through the furious day. Rang while the blood of patriots ebbed away. Here men made mad with fighting met And. charged like demons on the crimson 7 field; Here Hope's fair star arose and quickly set. Such changing fortune did the dark day yield; Here fury built on fury, and the ear Grew dumb to all save shout and roar Like deafening thunders on an angry shore Hroke the wild surges of the swaying tide, That left Its crlmsun tokens everywhere; On ridge, in woodland and the meadows clear, Where'er battalions fought and brave men died At Gettysburg. R hold today these hills serene and fair I No more we view War's horrid front, no more Tho clanging sabre and the flying hair Of) trooper hurrying to carve his way Through walls of tire to fortune or dis may. No more tho night breaks Into blaxe and roar And yells defiant pierce the gloomy air. Startling the soldier dreaming for an hour Of hojne and peace und Juys that centered there. Changed Is the view, and like a gentlo dove Pence broods upon the place Instead. Soft aretheetars that deck the blue above When Night rolls on her car and slum ber brings Its meed of giud refreshment; the morn ing oings Its songs, and night croons requiems for the dead At Gettysburg. Ilehold today this scene! The passing years Have soothed the sorrow and the cruel sense Of grief und pain, and God's omnipotence Transformed to Jewels bright a nation s tears. As out of I'lluoa the awful penalties of war Came glad rewards, richer for their blood bought Heritage atonement for ench scar. Ilehold the flag! Its splendid beauty waves Serenely o'er a land of love and light; No more it mucks the pensive pruyer of slaves The ancient bondsman hulls It with de light. The dawrlof greater glory for the land, Broke when the sounds of surry battle ceased Upon these hills; by Fortune's stern com mand The hopes of mourning millions were In creased At Gettysburg. High tide at Gettysburg! Beneath Its crimson wave Full many a patriot found a hero's grave. Hereon the eve of Independence!? l)ay The sturry banner fluttered In dismay, Opposing legions cradled 'ncath Its glow Strove to defeat or gain Its overthrow. Oh veterans gray. Is not that day Like hideous nightmare to your view? Here on this line hi grim orruy You stood, while Pickett's maddi-ncd crew Rushed on to pierce your stubborn center through Here, where today you place the tablet gray, That evermore shall tell in night or day The story of the fury und the fray, . Shall gather children of the coming years From Nunh and South, ond East and West. And odngllng In one common flow cf tears. Shall pay a tribute to the dead who rest At Gettynburg. Oh aging men whose thoughts are with the pact! Oh slim buitudun of this later duy! What was It nerved you at the very last. When hope 1o grim despair gave way. To bare year breasts against the fierce at tack And In :he end, drive the Invaders back? What Impulse moved your ranks that lay? Was it remembrance of the patriot sires Who braved the foe und cleared the way For Kreedonm's flushing nltar fires That made our In lependence lay? Whale'er It W3a Its silent fort e was there. Responsive were the vows that rose on . . high; You bode ilcflam-e to the wild despair And forward plunged to win or nobly die; And when the rarnuge ceased and nlulit came on It saw another victory for FreeJum won , At Gettysburg. But hush! Tho grave gives up Its dead, and here In spirit ranks, as If on grnnd review They pass. See at their head, with noble mien and clear Reynolds and Hancock, gallant men and true; And iHiubleday and Uana, soldiers bravo Who led their prpud battalions till the day Closed, and night chmged your dismay To wildest Joy, fur Ie had lost the tight. And o'er these hills his broken corps took flight. Oh hills, that once to dread alarms awoke, Veiled In the murky mists and battle smoke. Where death played havoc on those Sum mer nights. TJis years 'of peace have kissed you and you smile, - The dews of lovo have washed your griefs away, The lark, returning, chirps his merry lay And gladness broods In every svlvan aisle. Gone are the cannon and the broken wheel, And daisies hide the crumbling parapet. Aslant the meads the rosy shadows steal And hill and vale are In their splendor . set.
