Did Grandma Have it Easier than
We Do?
Dorothy Dix, in Atlanta Georgian.
“Somebody him called thin the wo-
niHn’H century,” said the woman of GO,
“and we women go about boating
cymbals and emitting whoops of joy
and congratulating ourselves upon the
progress our sex haR made, and on how
much better oIf wo are than our grand
mothers were.
‘Toor grandmamma couldn’t go to col
lege, she couldn't vote, and she couldn't
engage in gainful occupations, and her
conversational rango reached from the
kitchen to the nursery, and Hhe was old
at GO. Dear mo! What a sad lot was
grandma’s! And n», whenever we
thought of her we went out and
dropped a tear on her grave.
“But there are times when I’m in
doubt about whether pity, like charity,
doesn't begin at home, and when I'm
inclined to think that grandmother had
a cineh, and that we poor modern wo
rn™ are the ones that stand in need of
sympathy. For if grandmamma didn’t
have many opportunities, neither did
she huve many responsibilities, and she
was beautifully and gloriously Rollish.
“She hadn’t assumed the burdens of
the world, as we hnve. She did not
feel responsible for society, nor pos-
terily, nor anything in the wide world.
As long as everything went all right
with her household, the balance of the
universe might go hang, for all she
cared.
"When grandmamma fell in love
■with grandpapa she married him right
off the hat, without being bothered with
any eugenic doubts. She didn’t trouble
her head with any investigation into
the ancestry of his family or her family
to (ind out what congenial traits or
diseases their possible children might
have. Nor did she inquire into grand
papa's morals. For a man to have a
dark past was considered rather roman
tic than otherwise in those halcyon
days, and if later on she wus called
upon to help him harvest his wild oat
crops she called it all a mysterious dis-
ponsution of providonco that she could
never account for, and so escaped all
heartburnings and regrets.
“The modern girl can’t marry that
way. She knows so much that she is
torn with a thousand fears and doubts,
and she goes into marriage burdened
with tlie sense of her responsibility to
■her possible children. That’s the rea
son there are fewer love idyls now.
Hygiene has sort of knocked Cupid out
of the ring.
“Then grandmamma never had to
bother her head about keeping grand
papa fascinated. Probably men were
.ilist as much of a roving nature then
ns now, hut nobody had invented the
theory that, in order to retain a hus
band's love, a wife should keep herself
young, and slim, and beautiful, in ad
dition to raising a family, and that she
should he utile to be a whole vaudeville
entertainment upon such occasions us
grandpapa elected to stay at home.
' Grandmamma could read whatever
s vt of flubdub she liked, because no
body expected a married woman to
know anything except the cook book, ot
to be able to talk about anything ex
cept her babies. She didn't have to he
conversant with the latest scientific
discovery, the newest political scandal,
the most-talked of picture, the big
gest hook of the day, the last develop
ment in the latest war. Grandmamma
could get fat as she liked, or scrawny
as she pleased, because, having caught
her man, she had no further use for
bait, and nobody noticed whether she
was pulchritudinous or not as she
moved sedately around her sedate little
circle.
"Grandmamma didn't have to keep
up with the fashions nor bother herself
about the latest Paris craze. By the
time a woman had gotten to 40 she wus
supposed to he so old that eh" was done
with all earthly vanities, and to have
turned her thoughts towards heaven in
stead of the milliners.
“G.-andmamma didn't have to worry
any about how things went with the
world, because it had never occurred to
her that she had any responsibility for
any human being outside of her own
home. If our daughters walked in silk
attire, it was none of her affair that
other young girls perished in sweat
shops or were driven by want upon the
streets. I f her children had contagious
diseases, it was not her business to
keep the scourge away from other
i children.
“ A hen grandmother’s babies sickened
and died from sour milk bottles and
lack of sanitation and from the minis
trations of ignorant nurses, grand
mother never laid wide-eyed through
torturing nights, as the modern mother
does, blaming herself. Oh, no; grand
mother meekly bowed her head and
said, ‘The Lord loveth whom He
chasteneth,’ and went on bringing
other anemic little creatures into the
world to die.
“Oh, believe me, our grandmothers
had a cinch,” said the woman, regret
fully. “Now I’m GO. Whenmygrand-
mother was GO she had already attained
to a special chair and a chimney cor
ner and a black silk dress and a lace
cap and no corsets and flat-heeled shoes,
and had been a placid onlooker at life.
“And, look at me, worked to death
trying to keep young, doing without
thingH to eat in order to keep my figure,
giving more care to my .clothes than I
did when I was 20, because a middle-
uged womun is dependent on her dress,
snatching every moment to read and
Htudy in a vain attempt to keep up with
the limes, rushing from one hoard
meeting to another because my heart
is torn with all the miseries of the
world, and I feel that my sole salvation
depends cm my doing my tiny hit to
help humanity!
"And that’s why I say that our
grandmothers had the best of it. We’vo
got, progress, but they had rostfulncss.
They had a cinch, those dear placid
Indies whose world was bounded by the
family circle.”
Hugh Dorsey.
Macon Telegraph: “Hugh Dorsey ha.s
not lost anything by keeping out of the
race for Governor. He has acted a
manly part all the way since he came
prominently into the limelight. Those
who laughed at his appointment by
Gov. Brown arc discredited themselves
now. He has made good, while some
of them have lost out”
Augusta Chronicle: “Hugh Dorsey
is not to stand for political office at
this time. Ilia statement is a manly
one, straightforward and commendable.
He declares that he should not be given
undue consideration upon the idea that
he had done his duty as solicitor, and
he asks no special credit that in doing
his duty he put his every endeavor and
ability into it. Mr. Dorsey has spoken
finely. By the position he has taken i
reply to the requests for him to run for
high office, he has so (irmly established
himself in the esteem and confidence of
the people that the future is full of pol
itical promise for him."
Atlanta Constitution: “In the life
time of very few men does capricious
fate bedeck opportunity with the
tempting allurements that w, re spread
j before the brilliant young Solicitor-Gen
eral to tempt him from the arduous
I path of his profession into the moreen-
■ living field of politics. Since elected
> to his present office as prosecuting at-
| torney of the- Atlanta circuit Mr. Dor
sey has gained general approval and
popular recognition by the industry and
ability which have characterized the
discharge of his official duties. The
publicity attached to a recent criminal
case in which the Solicitor-General won
an unbroken succession of astonishing
victories against able and experienced
adversaries, extended his local reputa
tion into State-wide prominence. What
ever difference of opinion may exist in
the minds of the public concerning the
guilt or innocence of the accused, the
opinion was universal that the State’s
attorney displayed remarkable famil
iarity with all phases of his case, and
evidenced skill, intelligence and capacity
of an unusual nature. It was not un
expected, therefore, that the public,
quick to respond to genius, desired to
impress Mr. Dorsey into the service of
the State in broader fields by honoring
him with higher office. The statement
of Mr. Dorsey in declining to offer for
political office is based on grounds
which are characteristic of the modesty
and good sense for which he has al
ready become justly noted."

Residing in a small village is a law
yer who is famous for drawing up wills,
in which-branch he has long enjoyed a
monopoly of the country for four miles
around.
A few months since a wealthy man
died. There was much speculation as
to the value of his property, and the
town gossip set about to find out the
facts. He hunted up the lawyer, and
after a few preliminary remarks about
the deceased, he said rather bluntly:
“1 suppose you made Brown's will?”
“Yes."
“Then you probably know how much
he left. Would you mind telling me?”
“Nut at all,” the lawyer answered,
as he resumed his writing. “He left
everything he had.”
“How does she know she is a belle?”
“A number of people have told her."
“But no one has yet succeeded in
ringing her."

often la somo forma of skin affliction tin*
appearance of tin* eruptions changes over
night, the Itch and redness arc gone and
recovery begins Immediately.
As a matter of fact, there is one ingredi
ent in 8. 8. 8. which aerves the active pur
pose of stimulating each cellular part of
the body to the healthy aud Judicious selec
tion of Its own essential nutriment. That
Is why it regenerates the blood supply ; why
it bus such a tremendous Influence in over

afflictions.
Aud In regenerating the tissues 8. 8. 8.
has a rapid and positive antidotal effect
upon nil those irritating influences that
cause rheumatism, sore throat, weuk eyes,
loss of weight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
weariness of muscle and nerve that is gen
erally experienced as spring fever. Get a
bottle of 8. 8. 8. at any drug store, and in
a few days you will not only feel bright and

“Start me!" cried little Alice from
her perch on the swing. “I want to go
high! Start me!”
“Somebody can’t be starting you all
the time,” answered Tommy, half im
patient of her demands upon him, half
desirous of giving her a bit of instruc
tion. “Put your foot to the ground and
start yourself.”
It is the same story, the same cry, the
world over. People are longing to mount
high along many lines, but for the most
part are sitting still and waiting for
somebody to start them. They want to
reach success, but they want to swing
high from the first—to be pushed by
someone’s money, strength or name.
Those who are willing to begin with
their feet on the ground, and start
themselves, are comparatively few.
A schoolboy was given a sum to do.
When it was done he took it to the

youngster, fishing into his pocket, “I’-d
rather pay the difference.”
