No Longer an Experiment..

The igher education of woman. "a
1t is called. is already here. The ex-
pertinent. if SO we may term it. is now
going on in many places and on a
scale of great magnitude. Ii is set
tied for the time being at least. that
their education is to be substantially
the same as that of young men. They
are receiving no quarter In the lists.
but are boldly competing with their
brothers for the prize of scholarship
and intellectual supremacy. All told.
there are today thousands of girls
under collegiate instruction and con-
tending for scholastic degrees; and sta
tistics show that they are strong in the
battle. 1t used to be prophesied that
women would loose the loveliest Qhal-
tiles of womanhood in the strife and
pursuit. but the event has proved that
such baleful predictions were without
justification. Of course it Is so.
Whether women compete with men in
trade and industry. in public life. in
platform debate, or in the realm of
knowledge and learning, they retain
and never lose or impair the charm
and the power of their womanhood.
The more they can do and know, the
more attractive they become to men.
and the more they dominate their af-
fections.
The only danger is that they will be
driven too hard because of their will
lingness. their spirit of emulation. and
their conscientiousness. They are SO
eager to get ahead and to escape from
old-time conventional restraints that
they need rather to be curbed than
spurred. They will win the race more
surely if they make an easy start.

WellingtOn's Reply.
Words on Wellington.


Wellington detested being helped
not from ingratitude, but from two
feelings-one that he did not like to
be thought, what he certainly was not,
decrepit; the other, that he knew
very we'll that the majority of persons
who helped him simply did SO in or
der to be able to say that they had
done so. This was to him revolving.
Standing opposite to Apsley House
one evening, the duke was hesitating
on the curbstone. A gentleman
nearly as old as himself made some
demonstration of assisting him to
cross the road, endeavoring to check
the tide of cabs and other vehicles
that was setting strongly. When the
duke reached the gate Of Apsley
House he touched his hat and said
" l thank you, SIR"
The stranger uncovered and thus
addressed the duke:
"My lord, have passed a long and
not uneventful life; but never did ]
hope to reach the day when 1 might
be OF the slightest assistance to the
greatest man that ever lived.
The duke looked at him calmly
and in voice not in the least choked
by emotion, replied:
Don't be On fool p and walked
into Apsley House.

"Well, some cats can't stand music
anyway, and the more the cat wanted to
get out Of the shawl the louder Pa sung,
and bimeby heard something rip, and
Pa yelled, Scat, you bruter and when !
looked around the corner Of the hall the
cat was bracing hisself against Pas
vest with his toe nails and yowling, and
Pa fell over the sled and began to talk
about the hereafter like the minister
does when he gets excited in church, and
then Pa picked up tho sled and seemed
to be looking for me or the cat, but both
of US was offul scare. Don't you think
there are times when boys and cats are
kind Of few around their accustomed
haunts? Pa don't look as though he was
very smart, but he can hold cat about
as well as the next man. But am sorry
for Ma. She was just getting ready to
go to Florida for her neuralgia, and this
will put stop to it, cause she has to
stay and take care of that young one.
PA says will have a nice time this
summer pushing the baby wagon. By
the great horn spoons, there has got to be
dividing line somewhere between bust
ness and pleasure, and strike the line at
wheeling baby. l had rather catch a
string of perch than to wheel all the ba-
bies ever was. They needn't procure no
baby on my account, if it is to amuse
me. l don't see why babies can't be
sawed off onto people that need them in
their business. Our folks don't need a
baby any more than you need a safe,
and there are people just suffering for
babies. Say, how would it be to take the
baby some night and leave it on some
bachelors doorstep? If it had been a
bicycle or breechloading shotgun,
wouldn't have cared. But baby! Bah.
1t makes me tired. I'd ruther have a
prize package. Well, I'm sorry Pa al
lowed me to come home after he drove
me away last week. guess all he want
ed me to come back for was to humiliate
me and send me on errands. Well,
must go and see if he and the cat have
made up"
And the boy went out and put paper
sign in front of the store:

1.-THE Bohemians in the band that
couldn't understand English they looked
at each other and wondered what it was
all about, and finally Pa wound up by
stating that it was every citizens duty
to own children of his own, and then be
invited the band and the crowd in to take
some refreshments. Well, you ought to
have seen that band come in the house.
They fell over each other getting in, and
the crowd went home. leaving Pa and

for things, and tailed Bohemian. Drink
Oh. no! guess they didn't pour it down.
Pa opened dozen bottles of champagne,
and they fairly bathed in it, as though
they had fire inside. Pa tried to talk
with them about the baby, but they
couldn't understand, and finally they got
full and started out. and the leader asked
Pa for s., and that broke him.
PA told the leader he supposed the
gentlemen who had got up the serenade
had paid for the music, and the leader
pointed to me and said was the gentle
man that got it up. Pa paid him. but he
had wicked look in his eye. and me and
my chum lit out. and the Bohemians
came down the street bin full. with their
horns on their arms, and they were talk
ing Bohemian for all that was out. They
stopped In front Of a vacant house and
began to play. but you couldn't tell
what tune it was, they were so full, and
a policeman came along and drove them
home. l guess ! will sleep at the livery
stable tonight, cause Pa is so offul un-
reasonable when anything costs him So

church? They lay that foolishness to

Its all lie. They lay everything to
me. 1t was some of them ducks that

surprised as anybody when it occurred.
You see, our minister is laid up from the
effect of the ride to the funeral, when he
tried to run over street car, and an old
deacon who had symptoms Of being a
minister in his youth was invited to take
the minister's place and talk little. He
is an absentminded old party, who don't
keep up with the events of the day. and
whoever played it on him knew that he
was too pious to even read the daily pa
pers. There was notice Of q choir
meeting to be read, and think the tenor

that ana the one about the weekly prayer
meeting. Anyway it wasn't Inc, but it
like to broke up the meeting.
After the deacon read the choir no.
tice he took up the other one and read:
i am requested to announce that the Y.
NJ. G. association will give a friendly
entertainment with soft gloves on
Tuesday evening, TO which all are in
vited. Brother John Sullivan, tho emf
nent Boston rcvivalist, will lead the ex-
ercises, assisted by Brother Slade, the
Maori missionary from Australia. There
will be no smuggling. but collection will
be taken up at the door to defray ex-
penses.' Well. thought the people in
church would sink through the floor.
There was not person in the church,
except the poor old deacon, but who I'M

deceived him, and l know by the way

as choir singer for s..
Il felt real sorry for the old deacon,
but he never knew what he had done,
and think it would be real mean to tell
him. He won't be at the smuggling match.
That remark about taking up collec-
ton settled the deacon. | must go down
to the stable now and help grease hack,

heard l was going to drive picnic party
out to Waukesha and may not be back

got over that Bohemian serenade," and
the boy filled his pistol pocket with dried
apples and went out and hung sign in
front of the grocery:

MORE CROOKEDNESS.
Port Townsend Has an Attack o
the Epidemic for PeculatiOn.

A Port Townsend dispatch of the
Sth inst. says that the evidence of
crookedness and allegations of forgery
appertaining to the Auditors office
had been presented to the Board OF
County Commissioners. The Com
missioners employed additional coun-
sci. A. r. Coleman, to assist County
Attorney r. w. Jennings in the prose
cution. The warrant sworn out Fri
day night for the arrest of C. NJ. Sween-
ey was not served, although he was
under the direct espionage Of the au-
thorities. The Commissioners and
Prosecuting Attorneys had under con-
sideration more than $50 county war
rants representing amounts ranging
from 81 to $50.
Sweeney was placed under oath and
said that N. w. ORear, Deputy Au-
ditor during 1912, and himself, a
clerk, had forged the payee's endorse
ments on the warrants: that O'Rear
received three-fourths of the money
realized and himself one.fourth.
Sweeney gave detailed statement Of
the transactions. While the examina-
ton was in progress Prosecuting At
torney Jennings sent word to Chief of
Police Hickman to keep O'Rear under
surveillance. The evidence abduced
shows that innumerable warrants were
stolen from the Auditors office while
ORear was deputy, and the payees'
Endorsements were forged. The only
proof introduced to show O'Rear's
guilt is a similarity of handwriting
and the confession of Sweeney, who
swears that he is guilty and is DESTROYS
of turning States evidence.
The Morning Leader, Of which O'Rear
is one of the editors, came out Satur-
day morning with bitter personal at
tack on the characters OF County
Commissioner Sterritt, Auditor Rogers
and Expert accountant Douglas
Young, the officers who are unearth-
ing the alleged crookedness.
