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

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.

"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.

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."

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.

HEALTH HINTS:
Cultivate the habit of breathing through
the nose and taking deep breaths. 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. Every day for
six months take the phosphate or sodium
a teasuoonful In a teacupful of boiling
water (sip while hut) half an hour before

AT GETTYSBURG.'
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

TJis years 'of peace have kissed you and

The lark, returning, chirps his merry lay
And gladness broods In every svlvan aisle.
Gone are the cannon and the broken

And daisies hide the crumbling parapet.

Only the billows of the unknown dead
Recall today the deeds of valor done.
