When the leaves are off the bushes and the quails begin to pipe, And the hickory nuts are falling and tl.e pawpahs good and ripe, And the twigs you htep .so carefully on sure to snap and crack, And you whistle to the setter and the squirrel jaws you back O. them's the kind of days for me to meet the rising sun, With hunting boots "and trousers and a do-.ble- rr.Mt-i n; When the woods are full of hap;y sot.nda of every sort and type, And the leaves are off the bushes and the quails begin to pipe. There's a kind of free-like fueling Lroken loose inside of you, And you want to holler awful but you know you dassen't to; For the frosty woods is always full of skeery-hearted things, From the tussy li,ile partridge, with its whizzing, whirring wings, To the leaping, long-eared cotton-tail, that goes a-skip inr hence, And the frisky little chipmunk on the top rail of the fence, Where he giggles till he dabbles up as if he had the gripe, When the leaves are off the bushes and the quails begin to pipe. There's a sort of dreamy sadness, too, a feller often feels, With his game hag full of pheasants and the setter at his heels, As he plods across the meadows at thea setting of the sun j And he thinks of them dead pheasants at the banging of the gun, . , . , v u i . And he has some queertsh notions about the-souls of birds and jiien, And the happy hunting grounds that's in the everlasting when,-7 For he's marked the day behind him with an awful ugly stripe When the leaves are off the bushes and the quils begin to pipe. I If They Were Women. Louisville Courier-Journal. As in last Suiid iv's issue of the Courier-Journal some ten famous wo me i told what they would do if they were men. the men are now given a chance to reverse the discussion and tell what they Would do it tiny were the fair sex. It is believed that the sub- joined contributions will be read" with as much interest as thos printed last week from the pens of the ladies. FROM MERRY BOB BURDETTE. What would I do if I were a woman ? I would try to be a man. Cut that o,.r ...d it on rmir b,!.in.r .rb, daughter, and it wilt an ornament of grace unto thy head and chains about thy neck many times a day. 1 would shudder and groan every time the Monster was mentioned, but I would studiously avoid acquiring the slightest of his many accomplishments and the bestjof his manifold ways. I would never learn to lay a tire in range or fireplace. Every time I touched a fire 1 would put it dead out. Then I'd never be expected to make one. The first loaf of bread I baked 1 wouhiiet it. drop on the clog and kill him. Then I'd never be asked to bake bread again, and I'd get a new dog. When I descended into the laundry I would manage to bring out all the fancy flannels white as ghosts, and all the white shirts as blue as the skies of June. Then I'd uetfer be asked to assist at the Wihtub again. I would pinch every baby that was given me to hold black and blue in half a dozen places before it could catch its breath enough to shriek, and I would frighten the life or tease the temper out -of everybody's children whom I was asked to amuse. Then I'd never be troubled with other people's young ones, and nobody would ask me to teach the infant class while the tired teacher took a vacation. If I had-to sit on the front seat when asked to drive I would rather carry a large son umbrella and gouge the driver's eyes 5ut and run the team into a fence corner the first mile out. Then I'd get the back seat on the shady side every time ever afterward. I would always sit sideways in a street car. Then I would have plenty of room. I would wear a carriage dress in the street car if I had no other way of showing it off. I would smash something choice and expensive every time I swept a room or dusted a parlor. Then I'd never be asked to do such work. In church I would never rise during the singing and never kneel during prayers. Then people would notice me and say: u Who is that pretty girl with such lovely eyes?" At the the theatre I would wear the biggest hat obtainable. At cricket and lawn tennis matches I would 4it iu the front row and raise my parasol.' 1 would cultivate such charming helplessness, such hopeless innocence, such pretty, childish ignorance, such fascinating dependence, such dainty baby ways, that people would -say: " Oh, we must take care of her; she doesn't understand these t biu gs." Then all my life long I would lie petted and coddled, and fondled, and cared for in a thoiwa nd ways, where more independ ent women have to " hustle H for them selves. That is, daughter, if other- women would care for such a sweet little bit of helpless. Maybe they would. You know better than I do how women re gard that sort of a woman. But, you can gamble your peace of mind, your love of ease and all your enjoyments of life, that the Monster Man wouldn't torment the solitude of such a woman with his presence longer th 4ii a day or two, and she would thus be sj ared one of the greatest annoy ance to which mankind is subjected. Robert J. Bcrdette. WHAT DR. TALMAGK WOULD DO. If I were a woman: I would stay a woman. If there is anything despicable to my mind it is an effeminate man or a mas culine woman. Just in proportion as woman does her work in the sphere that God has appointed for her, he will be happy and attractive. There is si great multitude of men now who, by their manners, assume a sort of womanhood. They want to be soft; they go simpering through the world, and they are far from being of interest to any bod'. A man should be a man a woman a woman, and nothing else. There is no reason why there fdiould be any distinction as to where the line should be that divides man s appropri ate held and woman s particular sphere Ever.v ,ni'" know When he is engaged in his right occupation, and so does Ionian, and when they attempt otherw.se they become offensive to all sensible men and all sensible women. J w 1 . I 'K VV ITT J. ALMAGK. EDQAR WQULD Were I woman: I should consider that nothing was lesss aristocratic than di-bdief and no- thing ncie vulgar than jealousy. 1 would never lorget to rememoer that bvauty may allure, but that gra ciousness enchains. I would not do anything important I should emulate tne rose and its wisdom, I should charm and be silent. I would not wish to be a man until I was thirty. My niotio would be Pourquoiii pas, nn I I should be careful not to live up to it. Edgar SaLtus. WHAT MAX O REILL WOULD WANT. I have been a man a good many years more years than I care to tell and I have come to the conclusion that if I were a woman I should consider i. p ,i lev me"' 11 anv' won?J .OI ,T I It' I were a worn an 1 should expect a i ifiuinphal arch erected over each door through which I was about to pass, and each tloor strewn with flowers upon which 1 was about to tread. This is what I would do. And if the men were to expect me to return any gratitude to them for it why that's just what I would not do. Max O'Reill. FROM WILL CARLETON. If I were a woman I should thank God for considering my soul worthy such an environment, and strive each day to show him that his confidence was not misplaced. Will Cableton. THE AUTHOR OF " HELEN S BABIES. If 1 were a woman: I would trust my appearance more to Dame Nature than to the dressmaker, for I see that healthy women attract mote attention than exquisitively-dress-ed invalids. I would regard my heal'h as my for tune, to be respected according by others as well as myself. I viu Id spend a great deal of time out of doors, even if I couldn't do it except by weeding my own garden. I would read and study as much as my father, husband, brother or son, so as never to be regarded as " only a wo man." I Would never treat a man of doubt ful character as any better than a wo man of the same sort. I know how men regard women who u make allow ances " for men whose lives are not what they should be. 1 would never regard a mere admirer as a possible husband, nor accept ad miration as a substitute for love. I have seen thousands of dogs as much admired as women. I would '"cut" any male acquaint ance who talked sense to men but f riv olties to me. John Habberton. vdvu TTTr Dorr i .r tup BTrni)ii riVV'JU lllii & J 1 V A ...... "J ..... k - . If 1 were a woman, what would I do and not do? Now let us look into, this thing, as the man said when he fell in the well, and go back in the beginning. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then we read in the woou dook mat i,e reieu ; enth day. Then the Lord God mad mm "of the dust and then he rested again. And then the Lord God "planted a garden cast ward iu Eden, ,den,and there he put the man - . . . whom he had formed." And then he rested again. And I hope it was a good long rest. For the next that the 1 Ljn) made was a woman. And I search the Bible in vain for any word or sign that the Lord God or man either ever rested after that woman was made! Next, after I had given the clerks a rest and stopped running to the stores. I would try to stop talking so much and let the world rest mentally, as well as physically. My, oh my! If a woman only could learn how to keep quiet in word and deed and dress, what a dominion would be hers! Yet here she goes galloping op and and down, street car and store, store and street car, the same garrulous par rot as when she was "the first to speak to the serpent; the first to open her sweet mouth and oat of the forbidden fruit. JoAQUiN Miller. Democracy, Pure and Uniefiled. Courier Journal. The New York Sun's effort to work up its own enthusiasm over a Democ racy which leaves out the first priciple of the party, is amusing, but not in the least instructive. With the exception of Virgin a, everv Democratic State convention has de clared in unmistakable terms for reve nue reform. ISo one familiar with current events can fail to see that the Democrats will take no step backward ou this line. The Sun opens an article with the declaration: "If any one thinks that Democracy is not to be the vital issue of the next few years, he fails to ob serve the evidence of the dnv." Trnp enoug'i, venerable brother, but what Demorruev. iind whosV Surely not the Democracy which preferred Butler to Cleveland; not the smtrimw IWiner-rv whink rof.. even after the St. Louis convention, to support the Mills bill. Democracy, pure and undefiled, is pletlel to the fullest liberty of the ctizfm, consistent with the existence of society. lo it is committed the it is eommittpd the vdf:iiv of the people who are to be protected r. :.li t.vmniiv of nlnnp nr nlnio. against tyranny cracy. A doctrine which teaches that 'the Government may take one dollar from any man which, with the strictest economy, the Government would not need, is not to be reconciled with the principles of Thomas Jefferson and An drew Jackson. In nothing does tyranny so flaunt itself as in the tariff for protection. It is an outrageous aggression upon iudividual rights, and the Democracy is at eternal war with it, both as an economic fallacy, and a denial of per- sonal rights. In the view of the history, of this infamy; in the face of corrupting sur- plus; in the consideration of the fact that England is driving us from every competitive market, it is the height of the absurd to talk about a Democratic campaign with discussions of the tariff omitted. lou could lust as well pun- list) a revised New Testament and leave on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sun continues: wHave Democrats clearer duty or a more unite in defense of ii ever -Had a u gent call to the principles of Democracy and the future of the party?

If there is any sincerity iu this new zeal for the party our New York contemporary will put itself in line with the party and begin a vigorous campaign for tariff reform.

One Thing at a Time. "Early in life," relatsa a gentlemen who has now spent man? days in the ervice of God and his fellow-men, "I learned from a very simple inci.lent a wholesome lesson, and one which has since been of inc .'enable benefit to tne, - "When I was between twelve and fourteen years old my father broke up a new-field on his farm and planted it with potatoes, and when the plants were two or three inches high he sent me to hoe it. The ground at that place was hard to till; it was matted with grass roots and sprinkled with stones. I hoed the first row, and then stopped to take a general look at the task before me. Grass as high as the potatoes was everywhere, and looking at the whole from any point it seemed a solid mass. I h id t h3 work to do all alone, and as I stood staring at the broad reach of weedy soil, I felt a good mind not to try to do anything further then with it. "Just that min 1 1 e I happened to look down at the hill nearest my feet. The grass didn't seem just quite as thick and I said to myself, kI can hoe this one well enough.1 "When it was done, another thought came to help me: i shan't have to hoe but one hill at a time at any rate "And so I went to the next and next. But here I stopped again antl looked over the field. That gare me another thought too. I could hoe every hill as 1 came to it; it was only looking away to all the hills that made the whole seem impossible. '1 won t look at it! 1 snxl; am I pulled my hat over my eye so could nothing but the spot . whsr my hoe had to dig. "In the course of time I had gone over the whole field, lookiag only at ie 111 1 1 111 liana, atlU m WOi'fc Was done UI learned a lesson tuggpng away att those grass roots which I Mer frgot. I was to look right down at the wie thing to be done now, and not binder and discourage myself by Booking off at the things I haven't eonie to. I've w.orKinjr ever since- that summer the hill nearest my fet, and 1 have always round it the easiest way to get I a hard task accomplished,, as. it its- the r true way lo prepare a harvest." held! fiav the Asia's Ablest Soldier. Nearly forty years ago iin South Huntington townshsip, W est mwe land countv, lived Hinton, tie was an or- p!i n bv. rude a:iJ tmeducitedl and had wandered therefrom the neigh bor- hood of Masontown, Fayette county, With no known relatives, he was kick- ed from one family to another till man hood, enlisting then in the wnr. At its close he helped to escort the Chero- kees beyond the Mississippi. From the Indian territory he went to New Or- learns and shipped as a common sailor on a vessel bound for the East Indies. At the Bar of Aladras, on the western shores of the Bay of Bengal, he desert- ed and en isted in a British regiment. He served many years, and during the memorable Senov rebellion was noted for daring bravery. At his discharge i . ...... . . ... he was presented with a gold medal by the governor-generarhimself. He is next heard of travelling in a caravan from Delhi westward1 across the Indus river, through Afghanistan and Persia to Turkey and back. In I . .t . it i vans, containing thirteen thousand horses and camels and fiftv elephants In 18 id he visited Cabul, the capital of Afghanistan, for copper, great quan ties of win h are there mined and smelted. His nv-tgnificent retinue at- tracted the attention of the ameer, and he was invited to an audience, an honor never before received by a Christian A present of 100 of his liest horses and a three-tusked elephant made the ameer his eternal friend. When yearly it was followed by similar presents, lie i i i i i i i cities eameis and mercuannise. jonn Hinton g lined the monopoly of trade from the summ t of the Hindoo Kosh mountains to the confines of the Bel- loochist-in, and in real power is second fr h,mse,f' . .... About 1880 he was made military litary commander of the district of Herat, an 1 in 1880 suppressed a local rebell ion to the great satisfaction of his tit - ii i sovereign, l rained in tne an di war among the savages of North America and anions the superstitious natives of . : . . ...
