THE CREAT UNSATISFIED.
The men who arc not satisfied
Are they who ct the pace
Th? men who do not meet defeat
With calm, contented face;
The men who labor on and on.
With minds and finger skilled
They are the great unsatisfied
ho plan, and fight, and build.
The men who are not aatiified- j
They are the one who lead; ,
They force humanity ahead
By (trident word and deod;
They bring u out of bygone way;
They guide us through the dark
To where ome man, unsatisfied,
Hai set a shining mark.
The men who are not satisfied
They gird the world with wires;
They belt the land with rails of steel,
i And pierce the air with spires;
. Thev loose the leash of sweet content
' With which mankind is tied.
We'll never pay the debt we owe
The men unsatisfied.

ho was the star of every year from
freshman to graduating, a football hero
nuil a man among the many men of his
year. Ami yet when he left college
ami started In "on his own hook." so
to speak, he didn't seem to be appre

modest; his father said lie was a
dreamer, and Mario Franz, who had
"Worshiped him at school, said: "Oivc

She went to Chicago to study music

Isn't calculated to emblazon the genius
of any man, but the job looked alluring
to Ingham, who was poor, and he took
It because he loved his mother and
wanted to nurture her old age. He
wrote queer, rambling letters to Marie
every week and In auswer got words
of cheer, praise and encouragement.
She told him that Chicago was "the
place," and that half the successful
men might go to school to him with
profit.
When Ingham's mother died he had
a few hundred dollars saved up and
the funeral expenses left him enough
to pay his way to the city. It took him
three weeks to find employment, and
then he was a bit ashamed of his posi

cealed from her the fact of his pres

then, with a swelling heart and a sense
of his degradation he called at her ad
dress In Woodlawn.
He found her a woman and remem
bered her ns a co-ed. She was glad to
see him, and therefore he was sorry he
had come. He Intended to bare his
coufldence to the girl who had been
his chum at college, but to the radiant
woman whom he saw and who called
hlra "Joe" with an odd mixture of fa
miliarity and reserve, he could say
nothing at all. So he sat dull and hec
tic while she chattered away about
her successes, her hopes, her friends,
memories. Then:
"What are you going to do Joe?"
she asked.
"I don't know exactly," he said,
flushing with the memory of his soap
factory. "You know, Miss Franz,

"Miss Franz!" she ejaculated: ''since
when, pray? Here I am calling you
Joe and you come back with 'Miss
Franz.' Xow, don't do that, Joe."
"Well, then, Marie," he resumed,
the pallor of hope whitening his good
face; "well, you know I haven't much
choice. It's a case of work with me.
I haven't a sou. you know, and what
ever I do at first, anyway must be

"flood for you," she laughed. "Good
boy. And you Just tame. I told you It
was only a question of nerve."
"I think I have that," he was say

"Look at Charley Hughes. lie's
Here, already a rising some say a bril
liantyoung lawyer. Why, you al
ways excelled him ut college, didn't
you, Joe? Of course, he's a lovely fel
low (Ingham winced again) and I
like hlin ever so much, but the polut is,
he's no smarter than you, Is he?"
"Why, I didn't know Hughes was
here," said the diffident Joe, his gorge
rising at the thought that perhaps Ma
rio had already seen so much of his
old classmate that her Interest In him
self was secondary; "do you seo much
of him?"
"Yes; we're great friends, you know;
that Is well, be calls about twice a
week," and her big blue eyes studied
the carpet till she felt that Joe was
looking at the clock. Then she re
sumed: "By the way, can't you come out to
our Browning Club meet Thursday.
Char Mr. Hughes is to be there, and
you ought to begin to 'mix' a little, as
they call It. He's going to give a read
lug of some sort. You and I can go "
"Will you go with me?" Joe was
alert now.
"Yea may be sure I will."
So they agreed to go to the Browning
ympositlia, nud Ingham went home

They were In the west-bound cars,
radlnut, expectant and happy, going to
the club, nnd sure of the old camera

topic, said:
"By the way, Miss Marie "
"Just Mario will do," she corrected.
"All right, Marie; but talking of
Hughes you said ho was on to-night's
program do you remember the medal
he got for that essay junior year?"
"Yes, Indeed; It was about woman,
wasn't It?"
"Well, yea; about mothers the title
was 'The Christian. Mother.' How did
you like that?"
"It was grand! Don't you remembet
how everybody carried on over It?
Why, I never did tare any Interest In
Char Mr. Hughes till ho delivered
that oration. Don't you know how
mamma cried over It? It was a glor
ious thing! I never suspected he had
so much soul, did you?"
"Well, he never had. ns a matter of
fact," whispered Joe Ingham, handing
the conductor a dlnio. "Fact Is, I wrote
that oration myself, wrote It for him
because he was eaten up with a desire
to get a medal. You know he never
had much ability, and his father was
everlastingly nagging him to distin
guish himself. He did distinguish him.
self that night with my oration, I
don't begrudge him tha bnunr. but he
never showed me nny gratitude. On
the contrary, he always boasted fbat
no man of '!)'.) could have written such
a masterpiece."
"Why, Joe," said Marie, coming
closer, and with her face drawn nnd
her eyes abroad. "Joe, you don't mean
it? Why, It wasn't honest; It was a
fraud; surely Charley Hughes wouldn't
have stooped "
"Oh! It was all right to palm off the
oration. Marie, but It was the way he
acted afterward that hurt me. You
know the last time he was at Creston
he never so much ns called to see me."
And little Marie, wondering nnd flut
tered, waited till they wore- off the car
before she said:
".Too, I'm sorry I didn't know you
and Mr. Hughes were on bad terms.
I've promised to let him escort me
home to-night, and "
"Why didn't he take yon to the en
tertainment also?" Mr. Ingham was
nettled.
"He said he'd be too busy a lawsuit
or something. Oh, he's dreadfully
busy, Joe. But I told him I'd go to
supper with him afterward and and
I hope you'll not be offended."
"Not at all. Mario," he said coldly.
""!o ahead. I'm accustomed to getting
left."
And poor Mario was most unhappy
when they entered the crowded hall.
The usher could not find two chairs to
gether for them, so Marie sat In the
front row nud Joe Ingham, in a sullen
mood, sat three rows behind her. When
the time came for Charles Hughes to
appear the chairman of the meeting
stepped forward nnd Raid:
"The next number on the program Is
a paper by Mr. Charles Hughes, the
eminent young lawyer. Is Mr. Hughes
In the house?"
There was a bustle about the doors
nud directly Mr. Hughes "Stupidity"
Hughes, as the college boys used to
call him. entered and rushed forward
with a great show of bustle. He
mounted the stage, took a sip. of water
aud said:
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Brown
ing Club, frieuds nnd fellow citizens:
I have been so busy with numerous
new and old law cases within the past
few days that I've been unable to pre
pare a set address. However, In a few
moments of leisure this afternoon I
dashed off a little paper, entitled 'The
Christual Mother.' "
At the words Marie Franz looked
around aud her blue eyes blazed when
Joe Ingham smiled a knowing smile.
Then Mr. Hughes, "the eminent young
lawyer," launched into the resonant
and rounded periods of his "dashed-off"
address.
o
Joe and Marie met In the crush at
the door when the show was over. Mr.
Hughes was yet the lion of the dissolv
ing audience. Women were weeping
as they shook his hand.
"Well, good-night, Marie," said Jon
with a quizzical look In his eyes.
"Was it your oration?" she whis
pered, looking resentfully at the crowd
about Hughes. .
"Word for word," answered Joe.
"Let's go home, Joe, dear," she mur
mured. Aud when the orator of the evening
came for the praise that was to be the
breath of his nostrils the hall was

DOMESTIC SERVICE IN CHILE, '
the Maids Are Much Like Oilier Ulrls la
Other Lauds.
Sonortta Carolina Huldobro, of
Chile, the other day gave a lecture In
Boston on the women of her country.
Her account of the domestic service
Question Is interesting.
"There are two kinds of cooks," she
aid. "Advertisements rend: 'Wanted,
a cook with bed Inside,' or 'Wanted, a
cook with bed outside.' The latter sort
of cook can always be had. Domes
tics prefer the 'bed outside,' becnuse n
cook who does not sleep lu tho house
has more liberty. She does not begin
quite so early In the morning, her
mistress cannot get quite so much work
out of her, and she can steal n little
more; yet her services lu the main nre
satisfactory. After dinner every even
ing the cook comes for orders ns to
the next day's meals. Kven If unable
to read, she will remember every Item
of nn elaborate menu. She Is given a
certain nmouut of money to buy tho
provisions; for everything Is bought In
small quantities. Just enough for one
day. The cook will only cook; she will
not wash the dessert dishes, for that
belongs to tho table girl's work; the
table girl will not clean the knives,
for that belongs to the 'boots.' The
washing is till done out, nud the clothes
are brought back In from three days to
five weeks.
"Tho laundress has most winning
ways, and often brlugs her employer
flowers nud candy; but she asks for a
dollar for soap for each washing, nnd
has to bo closely watched. Every ser
vant who lives lu the house brlugs her
own bed nnd furniture. A girl from
the country will arrive with only a thin
mattress and oue poor coverlet, nud
will leave at the end of three or four
years with a cartload of goods thnt
she has accumulated. When several
servants are leaving at once, with their
bedding and furniture, it looks as If
tho whole family were moving out.
"The women of Chile are not of
mixed race. They are pure Spanish,
and of the fluest blood of Spain. They
speak Castillau Spttnlsh, nud have the
general characteristics of Spanish
women. They are well educated, the
daughters of the rich in private schools,
Ihe others iu the public schools. Tho
Nation offers free education to both
boys nnd girls, from the primary school
clear through tho university; aud prom
ising young men nud women ore nfter
ward sent abroad to study from three
to live yeurs at Government expense.
One of the most distinguished physi
cians iu Chile to-dny is Dr. Ernestlna
I'erez, a washerwoman's daughter,
who showed so much talent as a child
that she wns cducuted lu Europe by
the State. Iu Chile no genius Is lost
to tho world on account of poverty.
"Of late years, with the growth of
educational facilities for women, zeal
for education has sprung up. We hnve
women doctors, lawyers, authors and
newspaper correspondents. There were
last year lu the University of Chile
thirty-eight women studying medicine,
four studying dentistry nnd eight
studying law. Of the eight law stud
cuts, live did not meau to practice,
but were taking a law course to en
able them the better to manage their
large properties."
How Philippine Women Dress.)
A native Philippine womau, dressed
for a gala day, presents a strange con
trast to her newly fouud sisters of the
far-off American cities. The tallor
mnde girl would scarcely admire her,
but she uppeals to an artist's love of
picturesqueuess and color. Her flow
lug skirt is of gay colors bright red,
green nnd white being tho common
choice. The leugth of train, and wheth
er the garment be of cotton, silk or
satin, depends ou her means. Corsets
nre not yet lu fashion, but a chemi
sette, which Just covers her breast, Is
iu common use. To this chemisette
are added Immensely wide, short
sleeves. Her hulr Is brushed back
from her forehead, without a parting,
nnd coiled into a tight, flat chignon.
In her hand she carries a fan, without
which she would feel lost. Her head is
covered with a white mantle of very
thin material. Finally the toes of her
naked feet are partly covered by a
kind of slipper, flat like a shoe solo,
with no heel, and Just enough upper to
enable her to thrust two or threo toes
Inside.
So much for tho Fhlllppluo women
who live In "Quulity street." On tho
other hand, a peasant woman going
to market presents a very different
appearance. Sho has no flowing gown,
but wears a short skirt of cotton. This
is covered by a rectungular piece of
stuff; as a rule, of blue, red or black.
This outer garment Is tucked In ut the
waist, druwu In very tightly around
tho loins, and hangs over tho skirt
a little below the knees. The figure
of a peasant womau is erect und
stately, due to her habit from eurly
girlhood, of carrying jars of water,
baskets of fruit, etc., ou her head.

Women as Journalists
Of the thirty-seven newspapers In
the American Colonies at the time of
the Revolution several were owned and
managed by women, nccordlug to the
Boston Transcript,
The first newspaper published In
Rhode Island was owned and edited
by Mrs, Anna Franklin, nnd estab
lished iu 17.12. She and her two daugh
ters wrote the Items and set the typo,
nnd their servants worked the print
ing press. For her quickness nnd cor
rectness Mrs. Franklin was appointed
printer to the Colony, supplying pam
phlets to the Colonial officers. In 1772
Clementine It eld was publishing a
paper In Virginia called tho Virginia
Gazette, favoring the Colonial cause
nnd grently offending the Royalists.
Two years later Mrs. II. Boyle started
n paper under the same name, advo
cating the cause of the Crown. Both
were published nt Willlumsburg, nud
were short-lived.
Iu 1773 Elizabeth Timothy started a
paper In Charleston, S. C. After the
Revolution Anna Timothy became Us
editor, and was appointed State print
er, which position she hold for seven
teen years. About the same time Mary
Crouch started a paper In Charleston
In vigorous opposition to the stamp
act. She afterward moved It to Salem,
Mass., nnd continued Its publication
for ninny years.
New Vogue of the Luce Scarf.
Tho long lace scarf Is enterlug upon
what promises to bo a tremendous

These scarfs sometimes called "sash
ends" depend from the backs of hats
to shoulders, waist, or even to the
knees, iu either black or white, making
nn effective addition to a gown for
some ceremonious afternoon occasion,

scarfs of black Spanish lace have been
used lu this way on a gown of white

together at tho centre of the bodice In

Darning and Mending on Sewing Machines
"Tears and worn places In cloth
fabrics can be darned most sotlsfac;
torlly on the' sewlug machine," writes
Maria Pnrloa, In the Ladles' Home
Journal. "Thread tho machine with
silk or cottou, of the same color us
the fabric. Do not loosen the pressor
foot; hove the stitch of moderate
length; begin the stitching a little be
yond the damaged place. For places
that are worn thin or frayed, put iu.
rows of stitching, close together. Cross
these with other rows of stitching;
this will give a smooth, fine texture.
Where the fabric Is worn thin, baste
a piece of the samo klud of goods
on the wrong side and darn over
It. If there Is none of the same ma
terial a piece of net or muslin will an
swer. If the colors iu the fabric are
mixed, have the upper thread of the
machine of the most pronouueed and
the under thread of the minor color."

your lup before putting iu the stopper,
and carefully press out the steam.
Thiajnakes the bag softer, as it Is re
lieved of the pressure the steam makes
if left In It. When not using tho bag
drain out the water, h;t it hang bottom
side up for allttle while, then take it
down and with tho mouth blow a little
air Into it, Just enough to keep the In
side from coming together, as It will
often do If there is no air in it, in
which case the bag is quite sure to be
ruined In pulling it apart. .
If you hove a bag that is stuck to
gether put Into it some hot water with
a few drops of ammonia, let it remain
n Tew, minutes, then with a thin, dull
dged piece of wood, try to separate the
inside very carefully. Never fold a
