WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Out of the Selfish Ego" They Have
Evolved the Progressive I'VE"

Il Il
All over our land women are finding
in their social and intellectual club a
vitality, stimulus, strength, and iDspir-
alton which their grandmothers
hungered for and never found. says the
Chautauquan. The scholarly woman
finds in her club the social companion
ship which she demands and the ap-
preia tive working force which cannot
be reduced to any set terms. Women's
clubs have taught women to know
themselves, to understand the highest
duties of motherhood, to feel the
sacredness of home life, to see existing
wrongs and to apply needed remedies.
TO attempt reforms on the broadcast
basis, to value the power of higher edu-
cation, to discuss measures amicably
and logically, to value social duties and
business habits, to think earnestly, and
to express their thoughts clearly.
In small towns and villages the club
has been special providence to many
a weary mother, or to the woman of
few early advantages and large aspira-
tiOns. In our great cities w0men's
clubs have been the first to insti-
tute social reforms, and to call public
attention to crying evils. They have
controlled superficial and selfish social
customs until such customs have be-
come obsolete. In home government
and the training of children they long
ago struck the keynote of grand
choral of reform. which will become
more and more harmonious as the years
roll by. Out of the selfish ''ego'' they
have evolved the progressive ''we."
They have strengthened two weak
hands ba opohinad rOvupr of
a dull, uncut gem of thought, and pol
ished it until it has been fit for the
purest setting in refined gold; they
have mastered great difficulties. con-
quered absurd prejudices, and solved
difficult problems; and the grandest
work of all has been to teach the wom-
Ell their ewn possibilities and the glory
of their own heritage.

Devaney and Devaney sent a challenge
to Way. Each named bare fists as
weapons, and each accepted the
others challenge. They met the
same evening at the East end,
and a mill was arranged at once.
Thirty spectators witnessed the fight,
which was plucky, if not scientific. The
men stripped to the waist and fought
like brutes. Twenty rounds were over,
and they were about beginning the
twenty-first when a policeman appeared.
Principals and witnesses took to their
heels and escaped. Later it the even
ing the two men met and again fought
few rounds, when it was decided to
suspend hostilities for few days. The
object of their affection learned of the
fight on Monday, and now refuses to
meet either of them again. This has so
angered both that challenges have been
issued for another fight, this time to a
finish.

EQUALIzING ASSESSMENTS.
The Board of Equalization List


The board of equalization held an
other session yesterday morning. An
application from J. H. Long asking that
the assessment on his houses, 9 and II
East Seventeenth street, be reduced
from $4,000 to $1,000 was placed on file.
". F. Hahn, attorney for the loan
and trust company, appealed for a re-
duction Of the assessment of the com
pany. He argued that the loan and
trust company should be placed on the
same footing as the banks. The banks
were only assessed for 20 per cent for the
reason that they were subject to the
state examiner, who could walk in any
time and find cut whether the correct
valuation had been given or not. His
client. lie said, was also subject 10 the
bank examiner. and should. therefore.
be treated the same as the banks.
The board discussed the matter. but
deferred final action.

How narrow is politics and how small
the circle in which the mind Of the aver
age follower of a political creed moves,
is illustrated by the comments Of the
lifelong enemies of Mr.. Window. now
that he is dead. During his long and
successful career, successful through
honesty, they could not rise to an adj
mission Of his ability and worth, and
bitter words were weapons used against
him. Now that he is no more, the sor-
row Of nation allows them to break
loose from political craftsmanship long
enough to place true estimate upon

Senator Sevatson is the father of a
bill which provides for a tax on the
gross earnings Of express companies.
Why not 90 little further and pass a
law regulating the charges of these
companies? A tax on the gross earn
ings amounts to nothing, for legisla-
ture would soon squander what little
money came from such source, and
the people would derive no benefits.
But regulation of their exorbitant
charges is what is wanted. It is from
them that the people suffer and have no
relief. sill

A Telegraph Wire for Gossip.

William Trip runs farm near Round
Lake and raises produce, which he sells
to the people living on the camp ground.
His wife sells excellent milk, and the
couple, who are past middle age, make a
comfortable living. The young folks of
the camp ground are fond of visiting the
farm, where they drink milk and chat
with Mrs. Trip, who, through the me-
dunn of her private telegraph line,
knows all the country gossip for miles
around.
Last year the farmer, finding his even
ings heavy on his hands, bought tele.
graph instrument and ran a wire TO the
railroad station two miles away. From
there he extended the line to neighbor-
ing settlement and later connected with
two farmhouses several miles below.
The farmer and his wife have both be-
come excellent operators, and now spend
their spare time exchanging country gos-
sip with their friends over the wire. The
telegraph operator in the railroad station
keeps them supplied with the principal
news items he hears from other points
on the road, and there are few better in
formed residents of the county than

The thing found was beautifully

was not in Life Guardsman uniform, nor
was he artistically undressed for the ten
mis- court. Possibly he was not one Of

omnibus near Victoria, and ! gathered
from his conversation that he was going
to his work; but whoever he was his
tailor was an artist to make "a thing Of
beauty" and therefore, according to
Keats, "a JOY forever" out Of man
whose personal advantages consisted Of
youth, good health and blue eyes.
The tailor took these eyes for his key

phony in light electric blue. A suit of
smooth serge repeated the color Of the
eyes. The ground Of the shirt was an
octave higher, and the pattern an octave
lower in tone. The necktie struck the
keynote again, while the highest note
of all was represented by small, but
very blue steel chain. Bronze hat and
shoes, to match the hair, completed a
costume which was simply perfect. 1t
