It was almost time for the Phila
delphia express to be called, and in
the waiting room the usual Quota of
travelers had gathered. It was a com
mon enough scene, but full of absorb
ing Interest to a serious mite of a
Child sitting like an obedient little
Statue on the Beat where her compan
ions had placed her, hands sedately
folded in her lap and her plump little
legs barely long enough to dangle
Ver the edge.
Her wide eyes questioned each face
About her with wistful intentness, and
there were occasional evidences of a
mighty struggle of cogitation in her
little mind. The man with her was
kind enough, after his own lights but
lie was not used to children, and this
child was not used to him, and she
was lonely.
The Desbrosses street ferry had
Just come in, and among the string of
passengers who hurried into the wait
ing room were a man and woman,
trpon whom the child's eyes fixed
themselves in speculative admiration.
This whs a stately and beautiful lady.
The man was large, and perhaps
Would some day be larger, but now he
carried his bigness of height and
breadth with an enviably easy swing.
He went to the window and bought
one single ticket, and then the two
came and and sat diagonally opposite
the child and her companion. The
woman was speaking in a constrain
edly polite tone.
"There are but a few moments to
wait I beg that you will not consider
It necessary to stay. There was no
occasion for your coming at all."
"Tou forget that there are still
some appearances to maintain," he
answered stiffly. "There is no occa
sion to create any more gossip than
1b necessary, and this Is an absurd
kour for you to start."
"Isn't it a little late to consider ap
pearances?" she asked, with a touch
of scorn in her voice, chafing at his
old supervision of her actions, which
fee did not attempt to explain by any
wanner motive than conventionality.
She knew what he meant that it put
him in the light of a brute that she
should be fleeing from, his home unat
tended at a particularly inconvenient
kour. She knew that it was an ab
surd Journey, bringing her at her des
tination at midnight, but she could
not endure that silent house for anoth
er minute. The fever to be among her
own people the few, the very few,
Who would sympathize and ask no
cruel questions had rushed Irresisti
bly upon her a few hours before, and
she had recklessly made her prepara
tions and started. What matter? They
had agreed that the hollow sham of
their married life had better end at
once, and that later they would be
legally separated. .It soon would be
known to the world, and New Tork
had become a cell of torment to her.
And he when he was coldest he
was always punctiliously polite, and
ke had insisted on seeing her off if she
was determined to take this foolish
Journey. His face had been hard and
Indifferent as the door their door
had closed upon them as man and
wife, and the ride to the ferry had
keen made In rigid silence.
Her eyes caught the child's unwaver
ing gaze, and her face softened from
Its flinty composure. She had no
children of her own, and tuls was such
an unconsciously pathetic figure, with
Its primly folded hands and solemn
eyes. The little traveler smiled faint
ly and looked shyly away. Then the
eyes crept back again, and friendly
communication was established. For
a few moments she sat in sober con
sideration, weighing some mighty prob
lem in her mind, and ever and anon
slipping a tentative glance toward the
stately lady; then there was a cau
tious peep at the caretaker's face,
and with the anxious haste of one who
gathers all his courage for a desperate
leap, she slid swiftly down and
was across the way before her com
panion could realize what had hap
pened. "Won't you, please," she began,
eagerly, her eyes searching the wom
an's face, "won't you please tell me
what a dlworce is?"
There! It was out that awfnl, un
answered question which had been
tormenting her small soul for days
upon days and her bolstered-up cour
age suddenly subsided into flatness
as she realized the magnitude of her
temerity in asking this strange and
PSALM.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Kebuke an age of wrong ;
The graven flowers that wreathe the awora
Make not the blade Icbs strong.
But smiting hands shall learn to heal
To build as to destroy ;
Kor less my heart for others feel
That I the more enjoy.
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have mark'd my erring track:
That whereso'er my feet nave swerved,
Ills chastening turn d me back;
That more and more a Trovldence
of love Is understood
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good ;
That death seems but a cover'd way
Which opens Into light, -
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Father's Bight;
That care and trial seem at last.
Through memory'a aunset air,
Like mountain rnngea overpast.
In purple distance fair;
That all the tarring- notes of life
Seem blending In a psalm,
And all the angles of Its strife
Slow rounding Into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play ;
And all the windows ot my heart
1 open to the day.
John Greenleaf Whlttler.
Other Once More."
beautiful lady a question which had
invariably met with a startled rebuff
from others. Her eyes went to the
floor and she dropped obviously.
The effect was electrical. The two
faces before her seemed suddenly im
mobillzd. The woman looked ahead
of her with hard, unseeing eyes, and
winced as though struck; but the man,
with a man's distaste for a Bcene, was
the first to treat this conversational
bomb as a casual matter. He leaned
forward In the most friendly manner
possible, although his ruddy skin had
taken on a still warmer tint, and
forced a smile as he looked into the
wide eyes that gazed wonderirly into
his own.
"Well, now, what makes you ask
such a funny question?" he queried.
"I wanted to know so bad," she said,
appealingly. "Mamma's got one, but
she's gone away, an' everybody says
'Be still,' w'en I ask them. Nobody
will tell me what a dlworce is. Did
It hurt mainm?" she cried. Her eyes
still urged their question the ques
tion that she had asked again and
again, but to which no one had given
her an answer.
The woman leaned forward, gather
ed the little bundle of loneliness into
her arms and held her close.
"Where has mamma gone, dear?"
she asked. Her husband had leaned
back again and was staring at the
floor. Husband and wife ignored each
other.
"Gone to be an angel," was the
prompt answer. "Papa went away
first, but he didn't go to be angel.
Cook said so. An' mamma; cried and
cried, an' got sick and went to bed,
an' I heard nurse tell cook that mam
ma had a dlworce. An' w'en I asked
mamma w'ot that was she jus' cried
and hugged me; and I asked nurse,
an' she cried, an' she scolded me an'
said I mustn't ever say such a thing
again. Then they took mamma away
in a long carriage with flowers in It,
an' the lady next door came in an' said
the divorce killed mamma. An' ' to
day I asked the lawyer-man over there
an' he Just jurftped an' said, My good
gracious, chile!-- I do so want to
know what a dlworce is.". It was a
long speech for a small girl, but the
words tripped over each other in
their haste to escape, and there were
plenty more waiting to be released.
, The woman's voice was calm and
even as she answered; the curve of
her cheek vouchsafed her husband's
view was as fair and cold as the snow,
but the eyes fixed on the child burned
like living coals.
"But who takes care of you, dear?"
"I don't know," she said, slowly, as
though this were a new Idea to her.
"Mamma did, but she went to be an
angel so awful soon; an' nurse an'
cook did, but they kissed me an' cried
an' went away the day that lots of
people came to our house an' bought
things. - Now the lawyer-man is taking
me away to live with mamma's auntie.
I guess," brightening up, "she'll take
care of me now."
She lifted a supplicating face to the
woman bending over her, and with a
child's unwearied Insistence again
sought an answer to the question that
lay so heavily on her little soul.
"Won't you please tell me w'ot a
dlworce is?"
It was a delicate situation. The man
leaned forward and answered for his
wife, who had mutely turned her head
away. He was fond of children.
"Now see here; suppose I tell you,
will you promise not to worry about
it any more?" '
A vigorous nod.
He remained silent a moment, trying
to formulate an answer so. simple that
the child's mind could grasp it, then
spoke to the anxious face:
"Well, a divorce is a divorce well,
two people it married, you know;
and sometimes it doesn't work as well
as they thought it Would, so they go
to the lawyer-man like yours over
there and get unmarried."
He floundered hopelessly over his
definition, ending it with an uncom
fortably red face, for It was harder
than he had anticipated, and two
searching eyes glued to your face are
apt to be disconcerting.
The little one nestled back against
the bosom which exhaled the same
faint, uncatchable sweet odor that had
always clung to mamma's dresses, and,
with her Inquiring eyes still searching
the man's face; propounded the next
;
link in the endless chain of a child's
interrogations.
"Please, w'y do they want to get Wa
rn arried 7"
The face above her was white, the
arm about her trembled. The hus
band studied the floor intently a few
moments before answering, a frown
gathering between his eyes and a lit
tle droop of scorn self-scorn pulling;
down the corners of his mouth.
"God knows," he said slowly, and
stared at the floor again.
A stentorian voice was intoning the
departure of the Philadelphia express,
and with a nervous start the woman
looked up from the child on her lap
to see the "lawyer-man" approaching
them.
"Pardon me for interrupting you,
but the little girl must be going now,"
he said, raising his hat and bowing.
The child clung silently to her new
friend before leaving, and in the wom
an's eyes there were hot tears, and
in her throat an aching dryness, as
she gave the upturned face a linger
ing kiss and let her go.
Her husband stood at her elbow as
lawyer and charge passed through
the doorway, the child twisting around
for a last look. Would she rebuff him-,
turning the low scorn of her eyes on
him? Had he been a fool to detect
any feeling for him in the whiteness
of her face as she bent over the child?
Would he only make himself ridicul
ous? The stubborn pride which had
helped to drive them so far apart
tingled at the notion. But wasn't it
worth the risk?
"Tour train goes next," he reminded
her, watching her face intently. "I
want to go with you, Honora. ' Of
course, I won't go If it is offensive to
you, but this is such a wretched busi
ness. Do you know what we are try
ing to do, dear? Can't we try each
other once more? I know I've been a
hidebound brute; it was Just cursed
pride all through ; but I love you, dear,
and can't give you up. Let me come
with you. Just part way if you like,
Honora, dear!"
In his heart he cursed the public
waiting room and passing people, forc
ing him to stand like a miserable
automaton and cautiously mumble the
words that came rushing into his mind.
Her hand touched his arm- for an in
stant, her eyes looked Into his, and
she turned toward him like a weary
child.
"Oh, no," she whispered back, a sob
catching her voice, "I don't want to
go away, dear! Oh, my husband, I
want to go back with you! I want to
go home!" Agnes Louise Provost, in

0HK problems that race us abroad are important, but the
problems that face us fit home are even more important.
The extraordinary growth of industrialism during the Inst
half century brings every civilized people race to face with
the gravest social and economic questions. This is an age
of combination among capitalists and combination among
wage workers. It is Idle to try to prevent such combina
tions. Our efforts should be to see that they work for the
good, and not for the harm, of the body politic.
New devices of law are necessary from time to time In order to meet the
changed and changing conditions. But after all, we will do well to remember
that, although the problems to be solved change from generation to genera
tion, the spirit in which their solution must be attempted remains forever the
same.
It is in peace as it Is in war. Tactics change and weapons change. The
Continental troops In their blue and buff, who fought under Washington and
Greene and Wayne, differed entirely In arms and training from those who in blue
or gray faced one another in the armies of Grant and of Lee, of Sherman and
of Johnston. And now the sons of these same Union and Confederate veter
as who serve In our gallant little army of today wear a different uniform,
carry a different weapon, and practice different tactics.
But the soul of the soldier has remained the same throughout, and the
qualities which drove forward to victory or to death the man of '76 and the
men of '61, are the very qualities which the men of today must keep un
changed If in the hour of need the honor of the nation is to be kept untar
nished. So it is in civil life. This government was formed with as its basic idea
the principle of treating each man on his worth as a man, of paying no heed
to whether he was rich or poor, no heed to his creed or his social standing,
but only to the way in which he performed his duty to himself, to his neigh
bor, to the state.
From this principle we cannot afford to vary by so much as a hand's
breadth. Many republics have risen in the past, and some of them flourished
long, but sooner or later they fell, and the cause most potent in bringing about
their fall was in almost all cases the fact that they grew to be governments In
the interest of a class instead of a government in the interest of all.
It made no difference as to which class it was that thus wrested to ita
own advantage the governmental machinery. It was ultimately as fatal to
the cause of freedom whether it was the rich who oppressed the poor or the
poor who plundered the rich.
The crime of brutal disregard of the rights of others is as much a crime
when It manifests itself in the shape of greed and brutal arrogance on the one
side, as when It manifests Itself In the shape of envy and lawless violence on
the other.
Our aim must be to deal Justice, to each man; no more and no less. This
purpose must find its expression and support not merely In our collective ac
tion through the agencies of the government, but in our social attitude.
Rich man and poor man must alike feel that on the one hand they are
protected by law and that on the other hand they are responsible, to the law,
for each is entitled to be fairly dealt with by his neighbor and by the state,
and if we as citizens of this nation are true to ourselves and to the traditions
of our forefathers such fair measure of Justice shall always be dealt to each
man; so that as far as we can bring it about each shall receive his dues, each
shall be given the chance to show the stuff there is in him, shall be secured
agalust wrong, and in turn prevented from wronging others.
More than this no man is entitled to, and less than this no man shall have

I I schools were to be closed, however, because some instructors

a speedy nd of formal education. There has Deen a gooa
deal of criticism based on ignorance of what the kindergar
ten proposes to do, on confusion between the purposes and
functions of the kindergarten and the primary school; and there has been con
siderable criticism because of lack of imagination on the part of the critics.
The person of liberal mind, who believes that education Is a process of turn
ing out keen, sharp, mechanically accurate men and women, fails entirely to
understand the spiritual idea of bringing the human spirit into original and
personal relations with God, nature, art, and the race. Nor does the critic ot
this practical turn of mind comprehend the educational opportunity offered by
the critical years between three and si::, when every child is making the dis
covery of the world and of himself, is passing from the shelter of the home to
the free field of his age, and is receiving into his soul those first Impressions
which are to color and shape his thought and put their impresson hischaracter
to the very end.

DEVELOPING YOUNG COWS.
Henry Stewart says that a helfsr
coming fresh in June would have the
best opportunity of making a good
udder, and, of course, the belter the
form or yielding ability of the udder
the more the cow would be likely to
develop into a good milker. The first
year of a cow's life will almost surely
make or mar the future of the anlmel.
But it is not sufficient alone, for a cow
Is growing In form and ability -to milk
for at least four years. I have known
cows neglected for even three yearf
after that age to make most excellent
milkers, improving as butter-makers
yearly up to five years and even more.
