Still, when the city paid $110,000 to | show it wanted visitors, it does seem as if it might have put tw’8 leaf in the dinner table, hired an extra man for the pantry, and got | 18 out a few pillow slips. pe According to all reports the delegates at Baltimore are having a hard time. The elevators won't work, the waiters have lost their qwheads, streets, corridofs and railway stations are scenes of confusion | teand wrath, and taxicab fares are doing their best to make it seem ®like New York. The crowds are 80 densé that guests inside the hotels | ncn't get out and guests outside can’t get in. Everything is up in the | mait—prices leading. The principal hotel has a sign in its lobby, “To | -rsave time, walk upstairs.” | It rather looks as if Baltimore had given up trying to be host and backed against the wall to be out of the muss. Meanwhile the Convention is doing the best it can. It means uw”? be politer that the Chicago affair. To be sure, one Bryan is weQquoted as saying that “the National Committeo is glaringly under the Seontrol of the predatory interests!” Also we are pained to hear that “there is not a great exploiting interest that is not represented in the “lobbies of the hotels,” and that “there is not a corrupt interest in SAmerican politics that is not being used!” _ Still a prominent New York mutual aid society which purifies gall it touches assures us that this Bryan is just “a leech—a leech **that is sucking the blood out of the Democratic party!” wo After all, what shall leeches or bribes or cold dinners or bad Sheds avail among statesmen gathered together for their country’s good ? eee SALES AND THEIR SECRETS. MAN of leisure and fortune spends years amassing a superb collection of paintings, farniture and bric-a-brac. His house becomes world famous, a natural point of gravitation, a final resting place for detached treasures. Everybody talke of his collec- tion—even those who have never seen. it. Every one feels a vague pride of ownership. Will it not surely end in a public museum? The owner ‘has given to it the best intelligence, the best enthusiasm in him. ‘He has hinted that his treasure is a public trust. Suddenly there are rumore of a sale, culminating after a few months in an announcement. Auctioneers arrive. Experts and col- lectors rush in rejoicing. In ten days the collection is no more. The owner has stripped his walls and added three or four million to his And‘what is the public toNl of the reason? Only that the mill- ionaire has.euffered a great ehock-of a private and sentimental nature. From having been his greatest joy, his precious things became only mockeries of bitter memory.

According to the Japanese idea, wives should be, first of all, kind, tender, lov- ing, obedient, faithful; and should per- form the household duties, And when- ever a wife tries to overrule her hue- band or to run the house according to her own {dea and against that of her husband, it Is very lkely that she will be divorced. If a woman does not desire to have children she 1s considered as unfit to be a companion to any man, Lack of children {8 regarded more as crime than anything else because family pride and hereditary customs are go etrong tn Japan. ‘The life of a Japanese woman mued harder than that of an American wife, and she has a very little freedom, But most of the Japanese wives are happy and their hard struggles through life are rewarded ‘by the love and respect of thelr children, In Japan love and duty to one's parents comes next to the duty and love to the coun: And the dream of all wives is to attain happy old age with successful and loyal chil- dren around them, attending to their wants and wishes with devotion and reverence, shoulders of Japanese wives; deular religions of their husbands, but ots gonal care of the little ones, Shame on you, Mary Rangle!” cried | Fifine, the French hairdresser, otherwise | “Shame on youl!
