Phoebe Hanaford, pioneer .woman minister, wds born on the Island of Nantucket in 1829, « She taught school there. Then the feminist| movement stirred her, and she studied for the entinistry. She was devoted also to the temper- ance movement. She was the first woman or- dained in New England, and became a close asso- ciate of. Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott. She spent many. years working in the feminist Movement, writing and-lecturing on subjects which, were then’hot popular ‘or particularly re- miinerative. She is said to have. comparatively little money now at the age of 92. ‘ But ‘this aged’ woman. has ‘etter cause for sat-| isfaction than most of those who die in the luxury inade possible by:accumulation of wealth. | It is not given to many to see the ideas to which their lives are devoted reach such fruition as the move- ment for the political, economic and intellectual freedom of women in the United States, _ 2" BABE RUTH'S L&sson,: ' The fame of Babe Ruth suffered a reverse re- -cently. He essayed to play basket ball ‘and, ac- cording. to newspaper dispatches, he played so “poorly that those who came to applaud stayed to jeer, #o'that, Babe was taken out of the game.

And. the obviots: moral in Babe’s case ix that'a‘man can servé himself best by sticking tu the job he knows best how to‘do. The reason for much of the failure we observe ‘in human life is that too many, are wrongly placed.

The incentive . to murder in the case of an attack upon a woman is that the killing of the victim lessens the chance of arrest and conviction, because the witness is removed. Restoration of the death penalty for murder is therefore a deterrent not only of mur- der but of criminal assault. It therefore comes as a surprise that some of the prominent women of St. Paul are opposed to the extreme penalty for murder. . This is.a question, however, not to be determined by the personality of those who take sides one way or the other, but upon its mer- its. Other women are entitled to agree or disa- gree with those who have thus expressed them- selves and doubtless will avail themselves of that right. : ; _ Highway robbery and burglary. also are made easier to commit with safety, if murder can be added to-either crime without any additional penalty except possibly a longer term in the state prison. The terror of death ig held over the inno- cent victim of a holdup or a burglary and makes fihd the job best suited to their capabilities, Many Meili :neveér find themselves. Others, properly. placed, are misled by vanity and discontent to reach beyond their depth. is "| WHY BE-DISCOURAGED? © (lt: isn’t always the determined or’ the vulgar iat men ‘who win success in life,” ‘said Henty Ward Beecher. © 5 be * “The Prince of Wales, later King:Edward; in. e « id ~vited ‘an eminent man to.dine with him.
