In this other story the Supreme Brah
ma made the world. the man. and the
woman, and put them on the Island oi
Ceylon. Such birds. such songs, such
flowers, and such verdure And the
branches Of the trees were so arragned that
when the winds swept through them ev.

The Supreme Brahma. when he put them
there. said Let them have period OF
courtship. for il Is my desire and will
that true love should forever precede

Supreme Brahma. and he said to them /:
Remain here you must never leave this

the mirage had disappeared. and there
was nought but rocks and sand; and then
a voice called out cursing them. Then 10
was that the man spoke up-and have
liked him ever since for it--"Curse me.
but curse not her; il was not her fault. ID

feelings Of love and said III thou wilt

From the same took he found some Of
the ideas Of those ui.erable heathens |
and he quoted from one Of their books ta
show the man we are trying TO convert
IL says Man is strength woman is beau
tv; man is courage. woman j. love When /
the one man loves the one woman and
the one woman loves the one man. the I
very angels leave heaven and come and
sit in that house and sing for joy
When he read such lines. he thought " |
would be rs well TO send with the mis- |
sionaries n few bank presidents and man |
ayers Of insurance companies. in order to /
give the heather a comprehensive idea I
Of the extent Of our civilization. Regard I
ing woman's sphere he further said. IL
seems TO me that the woman l. the equal 1
Of the man She has all the rights ] /
have and one more, and that Is the right /
tn be protected Again. in the relations t
OF the sexes he said lf there is a man | i
detest IL il the man who thinks he j. the I
head Of the family-the man who thinks 4
he Is the boss That fellow in the dug .
ont used that word boss" lie scourged .
the stingy man. and the man who would 4
trust his wife with his heart and his hon
or and not with his pocket book nor with 4
a dollar, making n beggar of the one to .
whom he entrusts the training OF his .
children. For himself. he had rather be .
a beggar and spend his last dollar like a
king than be a king and spend a dollar I
like n beggar IL you have but dollar
and got TO spend il. spend il as though u .
was dry leaf and you the owner Of un.
bounded forests.
