Hthtd tht following about Emma Goldman, undsr tht titlt of "Emma Goldman, Anarchist But this I'ttle Russian woman, with her thickened speech, her good rolling r's, her disdain of rhetorical rules, her vehemence of expression, her potent, unstudied postures, is the most Interesting woman I ever met. She has life, she has courage, she has brains. She Is fiercely consistent, unwaveringly true, and, though I can't agree with her, I believe her to be ab-olutety sincre, BTWEEN the curtains of snowy lace Over the way Is a baby's face; It peeps forth, smiling In merry glee, And waves its pink little baud at me. My heart responds with a lonely cry-But In the wonderful By-and-By, Out from the window of God's "To Be," That other baby shall beckon to me.

That ever-haunting and longed-for face. That perfect vision of infant grace, Shall shine on me In a splendor of light, Never to fade from my eager sight. All that' was taken shall be made good; All that puzzles me understood; And the wee white band that I lost one day. Shall lead me into the Better Way. You should hear her talk.

It doesn't matter whether you're socialist 4 4 4 '4 anarchist, or are endowed with a blessed indifference of isms In general. You can better afford to miss hearing Melba or even Bernhardt than listening to this genuine creature. She is San Francisco's sensation, as she was that Hew York and Chicago and, next to the departure of the soldiers who marched off to Cuba, there is nothing so thrilling as listening to Emma Goldman."

A.

SPITE of the fact that tbe impulse which attracts the sexes Is an unconscious desire to propagate their species, children are not always a necessary adjunct to domestic happiness. I call to mind a dozen instances of deep conjugal affection which has lasted into middle life unattended by offspring. Indeed, It has sometimes seemed to me that the most devoted lovers were husbands of childless wives. Very frequently the paternal i and maternal instincts of sue! couples are absorbed Into an strengthen the conjugal a dec tion. Maternity is a great ex perience, and one which every MSXm'J' as mz illlllllll interesting demonstrations of human character.

There is the flunkey, the natural born toady, who flutters nervously, eagerly about the great money man, only hoping to attract his friendly notice that man stands for innate SERVILITY. There is the cross-grained, sour-faced person, who" would take pride in offending the great Wall-street boss if he could, and in showing his resentment of Morgan's great success that is the JEALOUS, petty, spiteful human being. These two classes of men are not merely numerous. They comprise almost the entire population, and life is only made bearable by the fact that men and women usually live in classes more or less nearly equal, so that servilitynd jealousy are not called out. woman should be benefited by passing through.

Yet how often we find the wife for getting all tbe arts of co quetry and becoming the mere mother of her husband's children no longer the sweetheart, but the nurse; and the husband's affection changed from that of the admiring lover to the devoted father, who calls his wife "Mamma" and is indifferent to her. as the woman, but solicitous to the welfare of tbe child an the child's mother. I seen this condition of things a hun dred times where I have seen one husband remain the lover first, the father second, after the advent of a child.

In the muddy places this man would lie down on his face and let the brother of the King walk over him. You despise the man who would be proud to do this, but as Thomas Watson remarks, there is very little difference between this valet of a Bourbon and Sir Walter Raleigh spreading his cloak in the mud to please Queen Elizabeth, a woman whom he must have despised in his heart, but who could give him riches and rank. The spirit of servility is one from which no man cart declare himself free unless he has been thoroughly tried and tempted. Intellect is not proof against servility, againct snobbishnes.

Sir Walter Scott, whose magnificent top head suggests the dome of the Capitol at Washington, treasured up with pathetic pride a glass from which George IV had once drunk.

Or, again, have you seen the average baby being wheeled and bumped up and down curbstones? Not speaking of the poor creatures left in the care of their 'big sisters and the latter scarcely able to care for themselves?" Yes, I have observed all these abuses of babies, and written columns of protest, while I heard the world uttering the same old platitudes about "No love like a mother's love." The Increase of weak eyes, as evinced by the remarkable number of children who have imperfect sight, is greatly due to the carelessness of mothers during the child's first year of life. Of course. Nature intended a baby's eyes to be protected from strong -f-4 4 A 4 light most of the twenty-four A cat knows enough to keep her little ones In shadowy corners during their early life, but I have seen a woman let her wee baby He In the glare of an electric light, and call at tention to the comical faces it. made! it was vainly trying to pucker its little face Into a shade for its suffering eyes, unfitted for the cruel light. Over and over again I have seen -stupid mothers and stupid nurses trundling infants along tbe street in the blaze of a noonday sun, while they carefully protected their own eyes by a parasol, And yet we are told "There Is no love like' mother's love." We re peat the familiar phrase questioningly, as we see-tired little baby legs made to run along the pavement to keep pace with an inconsiderate mother who hauls the child by one hand while.

she gossips with a companion wholly unconscious of tbe cruel selfishness of her conduct toward her little one. What an excellent Idea it would be to have a national institution of motherhood through which eveYy young woman must pass before she could Breaker Morn Say, Bill, on der level, wot would yer do if yer had er million dollars I Chilly Ike Well, not makln'youashort answer, pal, I guess not in'. Genuine independence, real manliness which acknowledges other men's rights and maintain its own, without aggressiveness or buncombe, is not a widespread human characteristic. Undoubtedly true manhood is found most plentifully at the FOUNDATION and at the TOP of the ladder of human success. The American workman, or farmer, or.

mechanic the French workman in his blue blouse, are absolute samples of manly independence, although, of course, exceptions among them are not lacking. And at the top of the ladder you will find this same freedom from class prejudice occasionally. The Duke of Wellington, in his old age, was about to cros a crowded street. English toady, trembling with delight, bowing and cringing, offered to conduct the Old Duke to the other side. k- The Duke looked at the scraping simpleton in contempt, 'said "Don't be a damned fool, sir," and crossed the street by himself.

That servility which destroys the manhood of so many men would be vastly diminished if more of the great ones of the earth had the spirit of Wellington. If Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller and a few hundred others who are surrounded with toadies every day would cultivate the liabjj: of saying "Don't be a damned fool, sir," to the fawning sycophants around them, they would do very much to discourage un-American servility.

Perhaps they will consider the suggestion. obtain a marriage license! "Hooray I Listen at Willie Green gittin' licked!

It Is easy to say that any man can get along with less effort and that he can pass his years with satisfaction.

So he can. But merely getting along, and seeing tbe hours go with nothing but the fulfillment of ordinary gratifications, is not life in Its high and true sense. We see the fact Illustrated every day we have it shown in a superb degree in tbe career of our new President. tiim 4 -T oioV i So, when Mr. Roosevelt In his famous Chicago speech proclaimed the strenuous' life, he was but repeating in modern phraso the lesson of tha ages.
