WOMAN'S TRUE SPHERE.
Womau's true sphere is In the
hoiue. Clever, talented women enUr
the professions, engage in business,
or devote their talent to art. ail with
signal success; yet iu the heart of'
ever}- true wornau there is th<'
mother love for children and a
desire for a home which makes all
other ambitions seem futile and pal
try. it is a good thing for the race j
aud nation that this is so.
"1 crave domesticity." wrote Mar
garet Illingtou. oue of the stars of th>
American stage, In giving her reasons'
in asking a divorce from her husband,
Oan'el Krohman. the theatrical mana
ger. "1 want to darn socks and take
care of children. I am leaving m.v
husband because 1 cannot be happy
on the stage. The life of an actress
is abnormal. 1 live iu theatres, cabs,
trains aud hotels. Of course there is
the applause and publicity; but what
I want most are children aud a home
and socks to darn."
Margare Ulington is a great artist.
She is considered one of the best ac
tresses now before the public. To
her h;is been given more than the
usual amount of praise which befalls
au actress. But iu her heart of
hearts Margaret Illiugton realizes and
appreciates that the clinging hands of
children mean more than public ap
plause, that a husband's love brings
higher happiness than a successful
career. If she gels a divorce she will
leave the stage and marry a man who
can give her these thiiigs.
The best of human happiness lies
in the home, in the love and sympa
thy of those who are dearest to us.
The outside world is a battle ground.
The home should afford us a breath
ing place, a respite from care, worry
and selfishness. Women who possess
good husbands and healthy bright
faced children have treasures that
cannot be bought by wealth or se
cured by position. Let women strive
to make happy homes. To comfort
man and to bear and rear his chil
dren is the destiny of woman. It is
here that she finds the truest ami
most abiding pleasure;- a pleasure
beside which the artificial standards
of wordly success sink to insignifi
cance.
DON'T BE A KNOCKER.
The knocker in nine cases of ten 1
is a person who hasn't much else to
do. You will also find usually that
a knocker is afflicted with indiges
tion. There is always room for honest
criticism and were it not for differ
ences of opinion the world would stag
nate; ? but for the persistent knock
er, the man or woman whom it is Im
possible to please, who delight in tear
tug to pieces the work of others, re
gardless of whether or not they can
improve upou that work; this sort of
personage does a community more
harm than good. Consider the habit
ual knockers you know and then try
and think what they have really ac
complished. Building up is better
than tearing down. If you are a
knocker Quit it. Knocking is an ad
mission of failure.
The resignation of United States
Marshal James Shoup has caused
sincere regret among his many I
friends in Alaska. Mr. Shoup has
been marshal in Alaska for twelve j
years and has ever acquitted himself,
with credit He is one of the few
federal officials whose acts it is hard
to criticise except most favorably.
'And they that be wise shall shine;
as the brightness of the firmnniorit j
and they that turn many to righteous
ness as the stars for ever and ever."
The man who knows all about run
ning other people's business seldom
makes a success of his own.
The boy who won't fight upon oc
casion will be a molly-coddle when
he grows up.
Wickersham's trip to Washington.
D. C., is like uuto a triumphal t?ui
All Alaskans should unite and de
mand home rule.
Boost for a bigger, anil better and
busier Skagway.
Why not smile? It doesn't cost
anything.
ROAD TO HAPPINESS.
T3 have n homo, convenient for thy
life.
With fragrant fruit walls In a
garden tine.
Some children, some retainers and
rare wine;
To Jive serenely with thy faithful wife;
To have no nor quarrels nor local
irtrtfe
Nor separation from dear kin of thine.
Expecting nothing from the Groat, to
shine
With 'modest light and Just where greet!
Is rife;
To live with freedom, yet to be devout.
Ruling thy well curbed passions, and
without
Ambition's scourge to thwart thy reg
nant will;
Truly to worship God with ardent breath
Among his shrubs and trees on plain
and hill
Thus pleasantly shall thou at homo wait
death.
?Robert Bridges. "Bramble Brae."
If ever hostilities between congress
and tbe president go too far the kai
ser's fellow feeling will lie likely to see
the "psychological moment" before
the czar's gratitude gets awake.
England also has its somebody who
says things about other folks. He
centlv Premier Asi|uith railed the
house of lords "a set of Irrcsponsi
bleu."
Whether these big tines for hugging
or kissing the wrong woman are ex
cessive and confiscatory depends upon
the woman in the case.
A Graceful Tribute to l*oe.
The University of Virginia arranged
to celebrate the centenary of the birth
of Edgar Allan l'oe oil .Ian. 1'.* in a
manner to do Justice to I lie tucuiori
of one of the truest poeis America
has produced. l>istingui?hcd reprc
sentalives of literature in the old
world were Invited to participate in
order to make the occasion something
more tlian a local tribute, for l'oe wa
once a student at the university.
The reading circle that has been
delighted by the genius of Poo spreads
over two hemispheres. It is most un
fortunate that his weaknesses dimmed
for half a century the imperishable
beauty of the writings left at the
trwgic close of his short and stormy
life. Equally wiili the statesman and
the soldier, the poet, it would seem.
Is worthy of commemoration and re
gard because of the Influence of his
works upon the minds of men. The
host of admirers of l'oe will be re
Jolcod to know that at last it is pro
posed to erect a lilting memorial to
their hero of song.
As we approach the Lincoln cento
nary it is well to recall the mnrvelou
mastery of the English language ac
quired by one who had but a few
months* real school training in hi ?
whole life. This country has pro
duced no man of letters whose style is
more worthy of study than LincolnV
Born In a cabin and reared iu the
backwoods, the great emancipator be
came one of the greatest masters of
English prose in the nlueteeuth cen
tury. Not alone his Gettysburg ad
dress, which every schoolboy anil
schoolgirl should know by heart, but
his Inaugurals and some of his letters
and speeches are worthy of study a ?
masterpieces of Atnerivail literature.
