Hill was a bred machine man.His victories, as well as his defeats, have been due to machine politics.And a machine politician he will remain to the end.Whether he is riding on the machine, or under its wheels, or is leaping agiley aside to escape the onrush, it is still his political god.—“I are a Democrat.”—Everybody’s Magazine.

The American woman is restless, dissatisfied.Society, whether among the highest or lowest classes, has driven her toward a destiny that is not normal.The factories are full of old maids; the colleges are full of old maids; the ball-rooms in the worldly milieux are full of old maids.For natural obligations are substituted the fictitious duties of clubs, comities, meetings, organizations, profession, a thousand unwomanly occupations.—Everybody’s Magazine.
