papers said not long ago.
Speaking of that great and good
man, Judge Story, reminds mo IF 'Thas
be wrote a5out woman moro than half
. century ago. He says: II was early
struck with the activity and power Of
the female mind. l went to school
with girls until was afteen years old
and they wefe quite our equals II not
our superiors in our studies and ac-
qnirements and had much greater
quickness OF perception and delicacy of
feeling. I then ifnbibed the opinion
which have often since had confirmed
that their talents are fully equal to
those of men. The difference in after
years in intellectual power comes fron
the fact that education stops with then
about time 1t effectively begins will
men. Their pursuits in life do not en-
able them afterwards to cultivate
science or literature with much dill
gence or success"
This is fact clearly stated, but il
Judge Story was living now and should
visit the exposition he would be still
more confirmed in his opinion by wit.

Ben Franklin tried to comfor, him by
telling how friend of his who sold
hats designed a new sign board to be
painted So he wrote it out: John
Thompson, halter, makes and sells hats
for ready money" and had a figure of
hat subjoined He concluded, how.
ever, to subit it to his friends. The
first said there was too much hat about
il and made him strike out halter
The next advised him to strike out
''makes," for nobody cared whether he
made them or not, so that was stricken.
Another told him to strike out ''for
ready money, as nobody was selling
goods on credit, SO that much was
left out.
The last friend sail: "Well, now,
strike oet sells hats for nobody
expects you to give them away" So it
finally read John Thompson" with
figure of hat added. After the war
with England was over it took long
time for real peace to como. On both
sides there were friends to reward and
enemies to punish. Everything Eng
lish was boycotted and snubbed until
at last the bitterness broke out again in
the war of 1912. Our north and south
might take lesson from this and quit
quarreling over sectional matters. The
hostility was SO intense that when
George Frederick Cook, the great Eng
lish tragedian, was invited to come to
Philadelphia to act and was promised
the patronage of the president and 8
cabinet he scorned it in an insulting re-
ply, saying: mo sir, ! act before kings
and queens and mobiles. l will not de-
grade myself by acting for yankee
