Does it ever occur to these critics that
the prefix "Miss" need not imply an i'm
possibility to change it? Does it occur to
them that while marriage should be the
goal OF both sexes, many women prefer
single blessedness to uncongenial partner
ship? Has it ever dawned on them that
lots of men have been so badly reared by
their mothers as to be unfit for matrimony,
and that self-respecting, thoughtful women
love their own company better than vul-
garity, or selhshness, or boorishness in
trousers?
Pity may be divided between women
who have married unfortunately and
women who have not married at all, with
the balance greatly in favor of the latter.
Like compassion may descend upon I'M
happy benedicts and lonely bachelors. In
deed, could never see the sense, or even
humor, in the popular delusion that bach
elors remain so from choice and maids re-
main maids from necessity. Were this
true, how brutal to taunt the latter with
memorable fatel Society first lays down
the law that women shall wait to be asked ::
then it criticizes such of my sex as do not
jump at an offer and get rid of that prefix
miss" Logical, is it not?
In the good time coming we shall change
all that. There is more political than So
cial equality in 1895, and ridiculous as are
recent bills introduced in the Legislatures
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-21

der the circumstances. Speaking not more
than five minutes, l frankly ignored di-
vorce as of secondary Importance to the
far more vital subject of marriage. 1t
seemed to me that the speakers had begun
at the wrong end.
In this free and easy country men and
women marry early and often for the rea-
son that they can be very much married In
some States and not at all in others, while
few precautions are taken against fraud.
Were marriage made more difficult there
would be fewer unhappy households. Then
divorces would be less frequent and special
legislation, which is always dangerous,
would be unnecessary.
What this republic needs is a national
marriage law. This is about all said, and
sat down to the music of very hearty APP
plause; it showed had the sympathy of
the majority of an audience largely made
up of women.
Never did dream that my few words
would be picked out of prolonged discus
sion for press comment, but we never
know what rod fate keeps in pickle for us.
From one end of this country to the other
kind friends are sending me marked copies
of journals containing comments more or
less facetious. ranging from leaders to frol-
icsome paragraphs. Occasionally an editor
takes me seriously but whatever his mood,
he is sure to 60 wrong.

A MAzEPPA EPISODE.
A Floridan Who Rode for Life on
Deer.

A Floridan Who Rode for Life on a
Deer.
James L. Harm of this place took a
Mazeppa-like ride on the neck of deer
that came near costing him his life, says
the Fort Myers (Fla.) correspondent of the
New York Recorder
DR.. T. E. Langford were out hunting,
when they saw fine buck quietly feeding
half mile away. 1t was agreed that Harm
should stalk the deer, while Langford re-
manned with the horses.
Accordingly Harm dismounted and be-
gan to approach the deer, which, in the
mean time, had moved so that it was no
longer visible.
After half an hour Langford heard a
shot and supposed Harm had killed the
deer.
A few moments later he heard cry for
help, and Immediately after saw the deer
come tearing through the brush with Harm
clinging to its neck.
AT every bound Harm was being terribly
lacerated by the sharp hoofs of the deer
and by the brush. The direction in which
the deer was moving would cause it to pass
within fifty yards of Langford, and the
latter resolved to attempt to shoot the ami
mai as it came by.
The doctor realized that the bullet
might hit Harm, but felt it was the only
chance to save his friends life.
Accordingly, as the buck with its human
burden came bounding past Langford took
careful aim and fired.
The shot was successful, and with the
next bound the deer fell dead.
Langford FASTENED to Harms aid, and
found him in a terribly lacerated condi-
ton. His clothing had been torn from
him, and his skin cut to shreds bv either
the hoofs of the deer or the brush. While
suffering much agony from his injuries,
Harm will recover.
Harm says when he fred the deer fell
and, supposing the animal dead, he an,
preached to cut it's throat. AS he reached
the back it sprang to its feet and darted at
him.
Harm instinctively threw his arms about
the deer's neck, and then came the ride
through the brush. Harm was afraid to let
go, lest the buck should paw him to death.
DR.. Langford's shot was lucky one. the
bullet entering just behind the shoulder
of the deer.

Cesare Cantu, who died at Milan this
month, 81 years old, was the author of
colossal Universal History" and of a
novel well known and still popular in Italy,
whose title is 'Margherita Pusteria." This
story he wrote when in prison for politi-
cal offense in 1884. He wrote it on pieces
of torn paper, such as he could procure,
with a toothpiek and ink made from the
snuff of candle. which he diluted with
cesspool water. The work is monument
of Briyio, in the Province of Como.
