After a very lengthy discussion of
how she would “handle" men Bab
grows a little lenient and oloses about
as follows:
“You know it is perfeotly beautiful
to sit up and feel that without women
men wouldn’t amount to much. That’s
when you are a woman. You oan see
they wouldn’t be here at all if it
weren’t for-women. They would have
died out long ago. Do you Bee what I
am trying to get out? The woman
who is the housewife is tile closest
thing to the mother, and from the time
men are born until they die they adore
being mothered. They are never too
old to be patted on the head by a soft
white hand; they are never too old to
be called “My dear boy,” and they are
never too old to be addressed as “chil
dren.” They like it. They like it im
mensely. They forget they are 0 feet
9; they forget their strength; they
only remember that they are fond of
the woman who has mothered them,
and they will give a great sigh of 0011-
tentment, when, in her own special
way, she draws him up closely to her,
lays her soft cheek against his rough
one, and says in a half-pitying, half-
patronizing, but altogether loving
tone, “poor boy!" Now, the poor boy
may have the affairs of the nation on
his mind. Financially he may be a
king, but

and he likes it. And the bigger he is
the better he likes it. I can’t explain
it; I don't pretend to. X only know it
is so, and I wish more women would
realize the great power of their little
ness.
No man ever loved a woman who
didn’t And in her that bit of motherli
ness that made her nearer and dearer
than anything else. Ueoouldn’t make
her understand to pave her soul, per
haps, about bis money troubles, but
she understands how to put her arm
under him, and let him go to sleep on
her shoulder when he believed sleep
was impossible. She couldn’t explain
it; she only knows she oan do it. And
the people who wonder how a clever
man like him could care for a fool of a
wouldr. like her, simply don’t know
what they are talking about. In tins
queer world of ours it is impossible to
say why people oare for eaoh other.
The olevere9t man I ever met in my
life adored his wife beoause she didn’t
know anything—be said he was siok
and tired of wisdom. You see, he
wanted a woman; be didn’t want a
walking dictionary. I oan fully sym
pathize with the good people who
marry sinners—saints are so uncom.
fortable to live with. And it is a our.
ious thing that in all religions the

Not murderers, or thieves, or dreadful
people, just people who had little ami
able faults that tended to make them

I love a sinner—we’va so muoh in
oommon. A saint is very nice in

would be so difficult to live up to an
aureole. I am aure if you were one it
would topple a little to one side, and I
know I would have to put mine on

Do you think yoq are likely to get
one? Well, you may, if you learn how
to serve dinner properly. I think
they will be worn by good oooks and
good housekeepers, because the good
cooks and the good housekeepers will
keep many men from going straight to

red and blaok gentleman. We don’t
want our men to go there. After we have
taken the trouble to oivilize them we
want them to be with us. Where will
we be? Weil, we won’t be where the
red and black gentleman is. That’s

There are no women there. Paradise

Leksburo, March 16.—'The prospects
now are that a large number of immi
grants will be located in Lee oounty,
near Leesburg, before very long. A
party of Northern capitalists have the
matter In hand. They have already
seoured an option on several thousand
sores of land, and all who are at all
acquainted with the details of the pro
ject confidently believe that the deal
will be consummated.
The idea of the men who are moving
In tlie matter is to people the land
with some 200 or more Germans, who
will devote their attention to fruit
growing, trucking and the like.
It will be a big day for Lee oounty

Rumor has it that a runaway mar

She scornfully refused to give her name
to ths conductor, who rushed to her as
sistance, and would not say whether she
was hurt. As she turned to walk away
the conduotor whistled “go ahead,” and
smiles began to show among the passen
gers.
"Sho's ilka all the rest of 'em,’’was the
contemptuous comment of the conduotor

“I never knew a conductor who
stopped his train at the right place,”
sneered a fat woman who overheard the
condnctor’a romark. “It's the greatest
wonder in the world that more people
are not killed by thecareleameas of them
conductors. They haven't a bit of ac
commodation in their aoula.”
“Did you hear that woman?'' inquired
another passenger. “She blames the
oonductor for that woman's tumble and
will in all probability alight from the
oar backward when she reaches her
destination. I have been a close ob
server of this perverse habit of women

the other day in a newspaper that left
handed women were never seen to take
a tumble because their stronger arm
aided them to retain their balance when

conductor to let her off at Twenty-Arst

She is aroused with a start from her
study, intent only on getting off the car.
You have noticed, no doubt, that a cable
train always passes a crossing before It
stops. There ia the whole secret of a
woman's many tumbles. Bhe would bo
safo and happy if the conductor would
only atop the train so ehe could step off
at the right spot exactly. But the car
passes the orossing, and unconsciously
she turns her face in the direction ahe
wishes to go. If ahe would wait until
the car stops all would be wall, but the
thought that she is being carried past her
destination makes her hurry. Before the
car stops, she thinks of the few extra
steps she will have to take if she is
carried any farther and jumps off.
You know the rest, and there is the true
reason why 99 women in 100 get off a
street car baokward. The 100th woman
is on the real seat of the lost car and
steps off at the right place.”—Chicago

The man from Saginaw was visiting
the national capital to see the sights.
One day, on Pennsylvania avenne, he
saw a heavy, close, dark wagon, more
like a black maria than anything else,
and asked his guide what it was.
It's rather strange about that,” said
the guide in the elowly didaotio style.
“You've been talking about the salaries
of officials here, from the president’s
