Her ladyship will see you in i mo- ment," :field the big, amiable American Who wag to introduce it "Cambridge Daily News" interviewer to Lady Cook, eu Telhuedoe Malin. A few seconds lat- er be ealled out. "Come right aloug in 14erth" and uehered the interviewer into the presence of a little lady with beautiful face mid snow.whito hair. She shook hands quiekly, and with meet but rapid movements waved the intru- der to a chair and without fermalitiee of any kind, commenced talkiug to telin immediately in her musleal voice. This little lady, with the flashing eyes, the face quivering with excite- ment, her ernes atnd head giving empties - ie to her conversation, the very thought whicn seemed to have filled her with an enthusiasm for her subject that it would take an hour before a large aud- ience to arouse in most people, wee the famous Tennes,se Clafin, who, with her sister, startled Americo, and Western Europe by casting away the mask of !alasmode i,sty that the girl of the per- iod s expected, forced to wear. Then, 60 year ago, this same Lady Cook was fighting the battle of her sex with an extraordinary fire and ardour. She suf- fered im.prieonmerat for her outspoken- ness in her campaigns for imolai purity, and was held up to odium almost be- yond belief, In 1876 they came to Eng- land, she and her sister, and waged the same battle here, and the love and honor they gained was shown by the splendid husbands they married, while the unselfishness and righteousness of the cause they championed was recog- nized by the husbands, who left their wealth absolutely to their wives. At 70 years of age this wonderful woman haa no home except in hotels, and even when she lute promised her 'friends to rest she finds her work irres- istible, "If England wants me," she deelared with fire and .enthusiasm to the interviewer. "I will give her all I 11.aVe, my money and my life. If I find that ehe appreciates me I will stay, for I love England, the country of my adop- tion, the country of my darling hus- band, and England must be saved. She ie going down, but if only her sons ean be taught to respect their mother and their sisters she will be saved." This love for England, for young men and young girls, burns in Lady Cook's heart and bursae into flame in her exquisite blue eyes as she speaks. Even at 70 years of age she is electric. She is neith- er still nor silent for a moment. Our interviewer did not interview; he lis- tened marvelling. She is the sel'fatp- pointed mother of every Toung man; she calls them all "My darling boy," and it is her motherly genius that has brought her whatever suceess she has aclieved. "1 am for everything that advances men and women," said Lady (look. "I have given all my money and. all rely life for it. I have no diamonds; I used to say to my husband, 'My jewels aro here,'" said Lady Cook, touching her head. "I have no jewellery but my weddino-ring, and. I use penny hand- kerchiefs pinned. on to me so that I can easily get at them. I live on milk and such simple things. Well, I want to give these boys here a. talklag to. I shall come back in October, when they are all here. I have spoken to stuaentg .be. fore, and. some rough ones, but I iust talk to them like u, mother, and they keep perfectly quiet. They are beautiful young boys these boys who come from Oxford and Cambridge, but they can- not get acquainted with girls without being introduoed. -If they do not go through Dial formality, the only people they come in contact with are the poor pariahs who have nothing to hope for, no matter what they might desire to do, What I want to do is open the churches that are lying idle and to have rational and hinocent amusements in them, and, introduce these bea,uttful young men to pure yOung girls, as 1 did 4t my garden parties. Oh -I was a won- derful hostess. "If our professors at Oxford. and. Cain. bridge and, in all our different pu,blie sehools won't teach the ehildren what they ought to know, then we shall tell them that the women must go in and. teach them. What do the fathers care? They take their sons to Maxim's and such places, but they don't take them to the hospitals and show them the ter- rible things they might see there. They vote, you say? 'What is the good of the vote while we have men in the Govern- ment who do not respect their wives and their daughters. One upright, hon- orable man most, arise if England is to be saved. Our boys should be taught to refrain from secret practises, and not come out of school degraded little camps. Their bodies are the temples of God, and if when a boy grows up he wants to ask any pure giri to marry him, he should. approach her with as pure a character as lie expects Ids fu. tura wife to have. q want to teach them when they are so high,said Lady Cook, indicating the height of a child, 'But fathers and mothers do not un- derstand their responsibility, "A little child comes running up to ite mother and. asks: 'Maher, who made me?' The mother's past teaching *hat she was bon: in sin and brought forth in iniquity, and that to have pro- created and brought forth a child was a deadly sin, makes her seek some subter- fuge: 'I found you under a gooseberry bush,' or some other lie, such as 'The doctor brought you.' 'the child, looleing into the mother's face, knows that she L s telling an untruth. When the ehild's ammeter is forming for good or evil, in- stead of hearing the truth from a good mother, he goes into the streets among Ms little companions, where it is told to him in a very different manner to that in width it ehould be imparted by the mother, "But let us look at the other aide.

Herds of Caribou as Tame as Sheep, After yearn spent iti the wilds of Un - gave, Capt. Iteeneth E. Kennedy, of Sherbrooke, Que., has returnett to chili- : zealot), and ,yesterday arrived at the mother, could ever do anything to bring the blush of shame to her face? Do you think he eould ever go into the street and insult or debauch any other mother's daughter? Never, for Itis char- acter is at once formed, and from that moment he learns to respeet his mother, and in doing so he respects every moth- er's daughter. "No wonder Lombroso said all women were born liars. We are all talking about having bigger families, yet many ehildren never get beyond the age of youth. What is the reason of that? Be- cause we are not taught the responsibil- ity of parenthood and how to take care of them. It is not quantity we want. We want quality. Then you would not have your streets and towns in the con. dition they are at present, filled with degenerates and unemployed. When came to Cambridge in 1877 do yea sup- pose -women dared have been Senior Wranglers? Why, if they rode in a car- riage they had. to pull the curtains down, and they dared not get into a hansom. But now I see the girls and boys walking about together; proud to be together. "I believe in early marriages," said Lady Cook, continuing her talk; "let the men sow their domestic oats instead. of their wild. oats, and before the young people marry they must be made to un- derstand the laws of maternity and. the responeithilitiee of fatherhood. I don't want to aterilize; I want to prevent, not to owe. I don't agree with cram- ming men who are not fit for it, as you do At these universities, and I don't believe, either, in sending them out too much gentlemen. 'What kind of men do we find? Take the after-dinner table talk. I should. not care to be a man. It is the whiapered. word: 'Yes -you - know -she ---he keeps houee-the had that done fox her -you know he drinks like a fish.' That is the kind. of men there is about. They have not got pure hearte. They do not respect their wives or mothers, and yet we aro compelled to go to them and ask them to do us justice! We shall never get it :vt this rate, thut we are going to do the next best thing, and that is to a,ppeal to the people and to our sons who are grow- ing up, and. then we shall get en. This hoes been going on for years and. we are almost in another generatioe, but we ehall win very soon, beoattee there are thoutsande of men who know that their mothers are their best friends, and they want women to come into power. It is only Mane men who want things to go on as they are. They are like hardened criminals. We feel sorry- for these men, but let them die out. We do not intend to have any more of them coming for. ward. We intend to bring out boys up to be pure young men who will respect women and children. "We want still to be mothers, and to propa.gate the race, but we do not want to go on sapping the nation ancl bringing it to the verge of destruction end revo- lution like other nations. We are very near it now, and. the only salvation for you is to get us women to help' you boys and girls and husbaods, and we ere going to study politica and. understand those things. Why? Because we have the greatest part of the ttufiering to bear. It is we who have to go, for many woary months bearing the child, It rests with us whether the child is marked for good or evil. It is the duty of the mother to underetand hmeelf during that critical time; every doctor knows that. We ought not to have to go round and. make ourselves thieves and 'go through' our husbands' pockets at night in. order to get a 'bus fare. We ought not to be kept •down without any money. It ought to be coneidered that the wife is hue colleague'and In the same position as her leusband. "What we want to easure is that when a young man cornea and. aelte a mother for her daughter in marriage, the mother shall be able to say to him: 'Have you as clean a record as you ex- pect my daughter to have? If not, go paid marry among the people you have been debattehing and living with, sowing your wild. oats. I would rather see my child dead than she should bring forth dieease and corruption.' That ie what we want to teach. If any man wants to make game beautiful girl his wife he must lead as pure a life as he expects that girl to lead. If he does not, he cannot have her. Then motherswill not be eo eager to get rid of their children, because even if they do not get married she will have broug.ht them tip in Reich a way that they will be able to take eare of themselves. Every kind of labor honora.ble, except that Which we see in the streets, and women would rather do honorable work than be eompelled to do that. In the .blessed Bible we read: 'I saw the tree of life planted. by a pure river of water, and the leavee were for the healing of the natione." If you have a pure river of life you will bring forth children that will he for the healing of the nation. 13ut 1 aek yeti to struggle. 1 ask you in all vieisel- tudes to maintain hope and resolution.

Kennedy had. heard no news of 'the outside world, The story of the Titanic wreck, flashed as it was round the world on wireless streams of eleetricity failed to reach him and he heard the news with sur- prise two days ago. When seen in the Cluxtenat, Capt. Ken- nedy appeared to be a young man. He wore a broad trimmed sombarero and a nugget of silver adorned his khaki stock, It was a year ago last December that Capt, Kennedy with a party of eight whites left Lake St, John, Quebec, for the north country. There were also In- dians in his party. As ft mining eiagine eer, Capt. Kennely was chiefly interested in the mining aspect of the wilds he was visiting, From Lake Misstassinms the party worked north. In June they were far north and though in the heat of the summer months down there, Capt, Ken- nedy found he could cross lakes on the ice stil) eemaining. In Auguee the party met with an am- cident. The canoe containing their pro- visions was upset, and for three weeks while beating their way back to food and eb.elter they had to trust to rod and gun, Now Capt. Kennedy is back to civ- ilization. He was surprised to hear of the recent treasure expeditions vslich have been organized to go to Ungava. He ha a business with the Government. He hinted at mineral discoveries in the north, and stated that he had claims staked. When asked about the mineral side of the country, he refused to make disclosures. "You have your claims staked. It would not hurt to tell something about the country," pressed the Free Press. "Yes, we have our claims staked," he responded, "but like 'many others, we want more." "In a short thne I will be able to give out 6orne statement that will make people open their eyes," he added, "in- cluding the mineral wealth of the coun- try, as to its timber wealth, and in re- gard to its agricultural possibilities." Capt. Kennedy had some remarkable photographs. One was a tremendous herd of caribou. "They're as tame as sheep up there," he commented. Up in the north the party had little time to attend to the niceties of dress and Capt. Kennedy had eome (Maims experiences on the trip down. He was almost refused a seat in the first class carriage of a train and the porter in- sisted on. Showing him into a second class carriage. In what was left of his suit of clothes he was eyed askance on railroadand in hotel% Capt. Kennedy left his party on Lake St. John. This was not lils first trip to the north, but off and on he has spent four years in Ungava districts.
