! HER POINT OF VIEW
1
GOVHKNOrj and Mrs. Stone under
stand giving beautiful receptions
but ir 1 ho gos'ernor said the
other night: "Tim state Is glowing too
big for this house."
The fact Is, the executive mansion,
on Front street, Is utterly Inadequate
for the gieat functions which the gov
ernor Ik expected to hae. It H a
large, handsome house, well adapted
to entertaining' guests to the number
of two bundled, but when you eiowd
five bundled into it you mv nilher
likely to have youi silk hat rullled, or
your fiills tumbled, and lo i-ec the
goveinor's fam bear a look of anxiety
which nothing less wearing than i
senatorial eleitlon Is wont 10 jilacl
Iheieon.
Xo ditiibl there would be a miiVr
uis howl fimii enemies of the admin
Isir11tl1.11 if a suggestion weie made
lllllt the executive mansion with Its
big out of anus iicross the Imposing
fioni needed a goodly ' nppropilatlon
fur 'M'iison (omnienstirate with tho
giowlng Inipoit.inie and dignity of
this great state of JVnnsylvtinl.i." But
tho Improvements should be made.
M
The gowmor'.s reception u the .sn
ato and house of lepresentallves t,
one of the most brilliant over given In
the executive mansion. Mis. Stono

posi-ossos as delicately adjusted sen
sibilities itnrtT his fulet earnestness
no many'n man who nukosi a big jiai
ndn of his feelings.
Tho other night, in speaking of the
board of trade banquet In I Ids city,
tho governor said: "That was a de
lightful oecnslon. 1 did eujov it so;
but you make one inistiikii up there:
you have no ladles jiref-cnt nt I'lieli
affalis. (The Ibler.er mndo a mental
noto somewhat in this line; "Mem.
Shall give Secretary Atherton a bad
eiimrter of an hour.")
Tho governor rontlnued: "I can
spealt better when ladles are there.
They lend something1 line and gracious
and good, und, next lo their piesenoe,
t want music."
So much for the sentiment In our
hard-headed governor.

It was u perpondlculur supper, (is
everybody foraged for himself and the
ladles under his cure.
New lines could ncooidliigly bo de
tected the next morning on tho
blows of fair ones who passed through
the ordeal of watching tho plunges
of these Impiovlsed waiter who
blithely careened about In the crowd,
recklessly balancing plates containing
salad nnd pates nnd other Juicy re
freshments together with a glas.i ot
water or perhaps 11 cup ot coffee In
their iiuaci ustomed bauds.
A man who could successfully con
vey a plateful of supper to his par
ticular charge nnd not trip over nn
nggiegatlon of trains, or send the next
man's plateful flying In the nlr nnd
over the handsome gowns In evidence,
wasan nttlst with reasonable pic
tensions ns a, Juggler.
There were those present who to
called a cettalu St. Valentine's 10
ceptlon in the same loom, on a bliz
zard night wIipii the thermometer was
below zero, when a man with the
kindest Intention preclrltatrd uplntc
lul of ice cream down the back of n.
beautiful Milv. U was literally
"down her back," for she wore a bod
ice exceedingly docolette, und she said,
"O-o-o-o-olt"' ns the ley mass swiftly
(ompos"d Itself along hor spin". I ul
ways have thought, however, ..t sho
had more tact than any other woinnn
known to history. As her teeth chat
tered with tho (.hill which Micreedcd,
she looked up smilingly In the face
ot the nppallnd devastator of her
pleasure, who wondered desolately
what he .wag expected to do,
ni:d remarked: "So fortunate that
it wan't spilled on my gown;
cream makes such spots, you
know!" If Hint man didn't propose
to her on the spot It must have been
only because) he was previously taken,
or knew that she was. Anyway, tlmt
minute lie looked ns If he loved her.
The school teacheis of the city hav
probably had more trouble In tho last
week or two than In thu course of
their entire troubled career, and nil
mi account of polities. Xow politic
is the source of two-thirds the trouble
of the American public. Kverybody
knows) that, if poplo aren't worried
because they can't get office they are
beeause they may be turned out, or
somebody else is in, or because they
fear the country is going to wreck
under tho existing administration.
I'.ul the political ttoubles which have
been wearing on the pubic school
1. acher.s differ from those mentioned
In this category. They have come
about Iroin a thirst for Information
superinduced by SuiverintendentJ How
ell. That affable and energetic gentle
man was suddenly seized with a sus
picion tho other day that the children
ot this genet nt ion are lamentably be
nighted in their Ideas of how things
111 1" nut In tills country, as inr as the
government is concerned. There is no
fort of doubt that in such a canny
supposition he was entirely right, and
that while his remedy was decidedly
drastic and ceitalnly sweeping1 in Its
scope it may lesult in great enlight
enment In this p.irt of the world. AVItU
his customary enthusiasm be planned
.1 lesson on civil government which
was lather appalling in extent, but
which left unthiug to bo desired in the
way of a complete undcistandlng of
the way conventions and elections .'ire
conducted. While It entailed enough
woik to employ the teachers and chil
dren for several week.-i In getting up
tlie lonulred examination woik, even
in the brief space of time allotted to
Its preparation, the study will be val
uable to the youth of the city.
! II 4
The proposed examination has been
the source of unlimited amuse
ment as well as hard work
10 the teachers nnd has demon
strated the fact that tho aver
age young woman employed In our
public schools Is us rui'veisant villi
political method", barring the bilbery,
as the average man of Intelligence.
She hns gone about quietly acquir
ing the necessary knowledge not nl
lea ly possessed and in many In
stances feels like twitting herself on
the head for vlial appears to be her
superior equipment.
"I never knew vlfnt a lot some pen.
pie don't know," laughingly exclaimed
11 young woman the other day, "un
til I began to inepaie myself for con
giss or school (ontioller or any other
gnat ollleo which the fiilui" may hold
f ! women, by (odlfylniv my stock of
Infoi msitlou legardlng the v'ny we do
things in politics."
"Why." she continued. "I .stalled mil
with the mint praiseworthy Intentions
of getting real practical knowledge of
this subject, and I Ingan by asking
several veiv Intelligent 1111 11 If tb
names of McKInley and Bryan and tho
lee.presldenil.il nominees were on the
ballot they voted last fall. AVould you
believe It, some or them were very
hasty about It In their minds, while
two or three solemnly ntssiued nv
that of course tlteve names did appear
mi tin. ballot, and they voted for
tin. in, and they looked at me
in a pitying smi of way which might
have been Intel pivled. 'Dear me! lin
ing a mere woman I don't suppose you
ran be expected to know much about
such things, but It doift seem as If
you ought t" know that!" Some ot
th"e men weie t-in'lieis, too." she
added.
Many teacheis discover that appar
ently a latgo proportion ot Intelligent
oleis depo-.lt their ballots without
bell 11? able to alllim whether or not
they voted dlftctly for president and
vice-president, while others approach
ed ate coy pbout explalnliiK' off hand
how the national committee is made
up and who are technically the party
leaders dining n campaign Many also
aie tt llttio vague about the methods
obi-iM'd In making- oflklal if turns In
toi-il elections and are decidedly un
it 1 tain In their Me.is ns to how the
ollUlal count Is finally made In presi

credit for endeavoring lo diffuse a lit

might be well to extend his Mvll gov
