WOMEN AND MEN.
The Difference In the Manifestations OF
Sense and Faculty in the Sexes.

The Difference in the Manifestations of
Sense and Faculty in the Sexes.
Not all the virtues are common to
men and women alike, without change
Of function or proportion. For the
most part there is as much difference in
them as there is in the manifestations
Of brain power or the natural assign
ment of the work of the world; and the
same virtue changes its name and color
as it passes through the alembic OF sex.
Take order as the first example.
The order of man and that OF a
woman are different things in manipu-
lation, if the original stuff, the mental
''paste," is the same. A man has Or
ganizatiOn, a woman management; a
man of business carries his exactness OF
arrangement and classification to the
point where it becomes automatic, and
makes of his workmen unindividualized
if intelligent machines, who do what
they are told to do and have no con-
Germ with the rest; good housekeeper
is methodical and knows how to clear
ly define duties and parts, but her power
to allow for individual idiosyncrasies is
part of her success as a mistress, and
no house woulo 60 well where, under
stress, these parts could not be rear
ranged and the duties shifted from one
pair of hands to another.
A sailor understands the art of neat
storage, a lady's maid that of deft COM
bination. The original quality is the
same all through, but the special work.
ings differentiated by the condition of
things, and are not IDENTICAL; just as a
pointer and retriever are not identical,
though the original ancestor is COM
mon to both.
In the material affairs of life it is
for the man to take the initiative and
for the woman to second his action. 1t
is for him to endeavor to improve bad
conditions, and for her to make the
best of what she has.
The man who would content himself
with patiently polishingup few shah
by old spoons, when vigorous exertion
would give him dozens more, would
be mean spirited, unenterprising
fool who would never gain success be-
cause he would never deserve it. But
a woman who should leave the spoons
she already has, tarnished and use
less, because uncleansed, while going
out of her way to add to the amount
Of her already neglected possessions,
would be just as far out on the other
side.
A woman who should neglect her
home and children that she might
make out of doors the money she
could save by personal superintend-
ence within would be mistake; but
the man had better 60 and dig his
neighbours field for wages than give
his time to trimming his own home
bushes and cutting his old yews into
fantastic shapes.
| 1t is for the man to construct and for
the woman to perfect; he builds and
she decorates; he gains and she dis
penses. We are speaking now Of
the normal condition of things, not
of women who have to make their
own living in the departments hitherto
reserved for men-that is, outside the
home, and in those professions which
ill now have been called specially
mems work. k.-N. y Herald.

THE GREAT BEEF CASE.

The Sad Results Which Followed Quar-.
rel Over q Bill of Twenty-Five Cents.
One of the most celebrated of law
suits was tried in the Circuit Court OF
Fayette County, Indiana, in 1920. That
county, whose county seat is Conners-
vile, has been the home of some of
the most distinguished men who ever
lived in Indiana. Among them were
Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Lincoln's first
Secretary of the Interior; Hon. o. H.
Smith, Representative and United
States Senator; Hon. Samuel W..
Parker, Representative in Congress,
and Judge Jere Wilson, Representative
in Congress, and now a leading LAWYER
of this city.
The case was as follows: Isaac Jones
kept butcher shop. Edward Harper
bought twenty-five cents worth of beef
Of him. Having no change, Harper
hung Jones up for the beef. Some
days after Jones dunned Harper for
the money, but the latter refused to
pay on the ground that the beef was
bad. Jones brought suit before JUS
tice of the peace, laying his damages at
two dollars and fifty cents. Several
jury trials were had, all of which re-
suited in failures to find verdict.
Finally verdict was given in favor of
Jones for twenty-five cents. The case
was appealed to the Circuit Court,
where many mistrials were had. At
last, at the spring term of 1920, the
case came on for hearing again. The
people turned out as though it was a
rally to see candidate for the Presi-
dency, or circus. The counsel on
each side were numerous and among
the most distinguished in the
State. Those for Jones were General
James Noble, John Test, Amos Lane,
and James B. Kay, Those for Harper
were William W. Wick, Daniel Caswell,
and William c. Drew. After the evi
dence was all in the counsel consumed
two days in the argument, not DAYS of
four hours only. as is the case in this
city, but days of ten hours each. The
jury was out all night. The next
morning they rendered verdict for
the defendant. Jones lost his beef.
and the Sheriff sold his farm and home
to pay the costs, which amounted to
over eleven hundred dollars. His law
yer's fees stripped Harper bare. And
thus were two men ruined in a quarrel
over quarters worth of beef Wash

very gaudy gentleman, with big plaid
trousers, big diamond, silk hat and
shiny boots entered, sat down at a
table, and called for beef and beans,
coffee and two pieces Of pie. These he
consumed, and then he dropped into a
gentle doze over his toOthpick. A
waiter observed his slun1ber and tapped
him on the shoulder.

The gaudy gentleman was so sur

The gaudy gentleman arose with a

up to the table where the timid man
sat- He thumped the table with his
fist and said in an aggressive tone:
'I'm sleeping lion. )"
''Yes, SIR" responded the timid man,
very meekly.

other table where three men were de.

That's all you'll get," said the
gaudy gentleman, pointing to the

grimly.

1t has often been wondered at, the bad

PROBABLY because he, being one of the old

pRlc,NALITY.

II il This That We Are Indebted for the
Present Condftion Of American cfviliza-
tion. -
There is q constant complaint OF old
legyism in the medical profession. II
learns slowly. distressingly SO. The
lack Of original thought and that rest
less activity of inquiring and executive
genius which in other callings is termed
enterprise, has long been noticed and
lamented in the learned professions.
There is seductive charm about old
theories and methods which too often
enslaves the professional man through
his prejudices, and binding him to the
imperfect past. forbids both his own
development and that of the sciences
and civilization with which he has to
do. In the midst of this general fixed
ness and long established unquestion-
ing conformity to rules and usages, an
I original and Independent mind occa-
sio1ally flashes its thought, and con-
werts the seemingly impossible into the
most beneficial utility. 1t leads pro-
gress against the opposition of matured
prejudice, the world unbounded egot-
ism and the proverbial apathy of man
kind. Undismayed by such discour-
agements, it maintains the remem-
brance of the worlds progress in the
past, and centers its energies upon
making like advance in the future.
Such minds scarcely recognize that
there are impossibilities. Untram-
meled BY the conclusions of others,
> they penetrate mysteries; study the
laws Of nature; formulate theories
and demonstrate their falsity or
practicability; originate new apph-
cations of old principles, and
accurate application of new ones.
and proceed patiently and labori-
ously in the development of the latent
forces of nature, science and mechan-
ism, until there are none to dispute the
actual accomplishment of great results
to the world. Whatever progress our
race has made it owes to the indepen-
dence, great natural endowments,
studiousness and energy of such minds.
From the science of government down
to the minute details of human life this
is true. Independent thinkers and
brave actors have evolved the best sys-
TENS of government from original
chaos, and later crude notions; they
have exploded false theories, made in
novation upon primitive practices and
instituted perfection in the place OF
erroneous conception and faulty execu-
tion in science, mechanics, social, re-
ligious and political economy, and in
the discharge of all the duties devolv-
ing upon men. 1t is to such minds as
have devised free government, divested
religion of useless, irksome detail and
embarrassing sacrifice, perfected edu-
cational systems, given us the locomo-
tive and the throbbing telegraph; and
made civilization pulsate, as if with un-
natural excitement, by the grand har.
vest of discovery and invention, that
we are indebted for the glow of oul
present American civilization. Minds
like these never conclude their studious
research for knowledge; they are as
ceaselessly active as the heart in its
life-giving pulsations, and grasp the
improbable with an energy that sur
mounts difficulties and conquers oppo
sition.-W Western R,trdl.

ARIZONA SOCIETY.

The Gensrous, whelo-Souled Class of Peo.
pie Who Live on the Border.
There is charm in living in new
country which many writer's have no.
ticed and descanted upon-there is a
freedom of action very dear to many
minds, where society is in a chaotic
state and not yet hardened into fixed
forms. There is more pleasure in the
parties, or gatherings" as they ara
denominated here, and many young
man takes his sweetheart distance Of
fifty or sixty miles to attend one OF
these mountain parties, where all are
free and untrammeled. There is gen.
orally feast connected with a dance,
where all the guests enjoy themselves
well and are exceedingly happy. There
may, perchance, be some critic present
who does not approve of the way
things are conducted, because they are
different from those he has seen in the
Eastern States, and this critic, too, en-
joys himself when he reflects how inn
measurably superior he is to the beings
who surround him. But the majority
of the guests are unaware of the pres
ence of the critic, and give themselves
very little concern about him one way
or the other.
tits true the people may have some pc
culiarities-what people have not?-but
that they are whole-souled and gener-
Gus class no one can gainsay. They are
always willing to help man who is in
trouble, not only with advice, which is
cheap, but with gold dust is which dear.
Because man is dressed in buckskin
suit it is no sign he is not gentleman
every inch of him, and he may belong
to one of the best families in the Union.
There are many well known cases of
young college graduates coming out
here to engage in stock-raising and
kindred pursuits, who enjoy life here
better than they have enjoyed it else
whore. They have identified themselves
with the country andin many instances
have made fortunes. At mountain
parties all men behave themselves and
do what is in their power to make
it pleasant for all assembled. At these
parties it is not necessary to wear a
full evening dress, many of the miners
coming in clad in their best, while the
hearty wagoners do not disdain to rem
der assistance. Everyone is welcome
who behaves himself, and innocent mirth
is INDUCED in by the fair sex, as well
rs by their stalwart escorts. In bug
gies and on horseback they come from
all points of the compass and to the
music of the violin dance until well
tired out. - Cor. Chicago Times.

Mrs. Bessie Paschal Gassaway
Wright, formerly of this city, was
married TO Thomas P. O'Connor, M
P, the Irish agltator. of Galway, Ire
land, on Monday last. Fifteen years
ago she was a reigning belle, and hel
admirers were legion. Her beauty
was such as to class her among the
first half-dozen beautiful women who
have been residents of the national
capital for the past quarter of a CEN
tury. She has probabl y rejected more
offers of marriage and yet married
more frequently than any lady of her
age and social standing in America.
After her divorce from Frank Gassa-
way she was employed in the war de-
partment, and Dame Rumor had her
engaged to an ex- senator, then a cabi-
net officer. She moved to Philadel-
phia, and the same dame had her
engaged TO very wealthy and promi-
nent merchant there She returned
to Washington, however, and married
Capt. Wright, of the army, whose sad
death by a pistol ball shocked the
community. Shortly after this event
idence, and Gen. Grant, it is said, had
her appointed to a clerkship in the
postoffice there, which position she
held for a short time only, when she
decided to become an actress, and
made her debut under an assumed
name. She met with Indifferent sue
cess before the footlights, and aban-
doned the stage.
She then turned her attention to-
ward literary matters, and was en-
ployed by Mrs. Frank Leslie as a
reader of stories submitted to her pa
pers for publication to decide as to
their having sufficient merit to be ac-
cepted. She afterward held similar
position with the Harpers. During
the past few years gossip has had her
engaged several times, and, among
others, to William Henry Hurlbut,
formerly editor of The Neao York
World, but as that gentleman married
about a year ago an English dowager
with q large bank account attachment
the engagement then, and not until
then, became "off." Last summer
Mrs. Wright visited Ireland, and dur
ing her visit met Mr.. O'Connor and
became engaged to him, which re-
suited in the cable telling us that he
was married to Mrs. Wright, an
American authoress. She had
written short stories for Harper S
Weekly and made various modest liter
ary efforts. About 80 years of age,
she has married three times. At this
rate she bids fair to beat her distin-
guished fathers (Judge PaschaD best
