WoMAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
Heartrending Tale of Dog and a Young

Never do l cease to believe in the COM
ing golden age when all women will be
strong, wise and sensible, that is, nearly
all. But there are times when l get
tired Of hoping, not permanently Of
course, only for few hours perhaps.
One of these occasions came recently
when read how Brooklyn girl wept
and boohooed in court over little beast
of dog. She loved that dog, the girl
did. She said she paid hundred dol
lars for him when he was puppy in
London. Then one day, when her pa
was taking him out for an airing, the
little brute, Darling Daffodil," she
called him, got lost. He was found and
taken care of by a family who put him
into the dog show. The girl who loved
him SO much recognized him. l don't
know whether he had a peculiar way of
dropping his blessed little tail or whether
he had a peculiar note in his sweet little
bark. At any rate she knew darling
Daffy, and then there was scene which
was adjourned to court. In court the
family who had taken care of the
beast two months offered to give
him up if she whose lost love he was
would pay fifty dollars for his
keep. She refused to do this, although
she had paid hundred dollars for him
when he was only in the stage of pup
hood, and she loved him so besides.
Pending decision darling Daffy was car
ried away by an unfeeling lawyer. Then
the lady who wouldn't pay fifty dollars
for his board, raised the neighborhood
with her sobs and lamentations. A
stranger would have thought that moth
ing less than her own baby had been
ruthlessly torn from her arms. All this
when there are thousands Of starving,
homeless real babies that would grow to
be noble, Intelligent human beings if
only somebody would have mercy on
them and give them a chance for life.
No wonder there are people who incline
to think women are little better than
idiots
A story is told of teacher in girls
school who used to cut the naughty
things out of the newspaper each day
and then let her pupils read it. She
soon quit the clipping, however, very
wisely concluding that "the evil men do
should be known to their fellow men for
the protection of the individual" Quite
right. Girls would not go wrong as
often as they do if they knew of the
SHARES that lie in wait for ignorance and
The Pro Re Nata society, of Washing
ton considered recently the so called
"woman's column" of the average news
paper and unanimously condemned it as
"silly stuff, but thought there must be
a demand for such gush and nonsense
or it would not be furnished They
thought that the prevalent ignorance of
women about wider and nobler topics
was responsible for the present woman's
column of the newspaper.
Canada is a step in advance of the
United States in one respect at least.
All the Canadian universities are open
to women.
The Chautauqua circle of Chester, Pa,
is made up almost entirely of women,
but they do not mean TO be ignorant of
the question which will form the lead
ing issue in the next presidential cam
paign. They have been studying the
tariff and have had addresses delivered
to them by experts on both sides, so as
to be able to make up their own minds.
This is good deal better than studying
the ruined castles of Europe.
