The Lost Cause.

In Massachusetts, the above desisna-
tlon Is now given 20 female suffrage.
The women Of that state had a full and
fair opportunity TO pass Judgment on
this subject, after years OF agitation iu
which some Of the ablest Of the women
Of the country were engaged, and they
have declared by an overwhelming
majority that they do not want IT, The
most significant feature Of this result is
that the women themselves do not
desire the ballot
This Is an outcome that WAS anticipated
by us months In advance Of the election
referred to-indeed this fact, 10 apparent
to all but a few enthusiastic women,
has Induced rs to say on more than one
occasion that it was folly TO force tho
suffrage upon the women because G lew
Of the sex wanted to shine ns political
rsformers. They should have been born
men and then their proper element would
have been accorded them. We say this
with no dlsrespect toward the sex and sre
quite sure there are hoets Of men that
would have succeeded better Ia the world
as women.
The truth that we wish to inculcate is
apparent TO all people OF sense whether
men OF women. and that Is that each sex
shines TO the bast advantage ia it's proper
sphere A womanly man is usually de-
apised, then why should woman with
menniah proclivlties be held in any higher
esteenl When women do mems work
we believe they should receive the same
Remuneration for it that men do, but
when womsn insist on certain rights
Of the other sex which are es
teemed as privileges, they should
not forget that they have privileges Of
their own OF a higher and heller nature
than those possessed BY the other sex.
The equality Of tho sexes before law is
admitted now about every way, and
women are allowed to enter any pro
fesslon or earn their living at any work
bench. This is right it Is jast, but
until women fght our battles, put down
mobs and secure to us the blessings OF
good government there is no earthly
reason why they should b. required TO
vote.
When the women OF this country show,
BY unanimous public expression, that
they want this privilege. it viii be time
enough to talk Of giving It to them, but
according to the present outlook that
period Is still far ahead.

for his ordeal. When they inspected him
carefully il was somewhat like the ex
animation that grooms give horse be-
fore race; and they were amazed, stag
gered by the whole affair. Their astonish-
ment found vent in strange repetitions.
"Are We sure a-goin2' they demanded
again and again.
Certainly am" CRIED Collins, at last
furiously.
He strobe sullenly away from them.
he was swinging five or six canteens by
their cords. IL seemed that his cap
would not remain firmly on his head,
and often he reached and pulled it down
oven his brow.
There was a general movement in the
copmact column. The long animal-like
thing moved slightly. Its four hundred
eyes were turned upon the figure of Col
Inns.
"well, sir, II that amt th' derndest
thing. / never thought Fred Collins had
the blood in him for that kind OF busi-
nessln
whats he goin' to do anyhow"
Hes goin' to that well there after
water"
"We amt dyin' of thirst, are we?
That's foolishness."
''Well, somebody put him up to it an
he's doin' it,.
"Say he must be desperate cuss. "
When Collins faced the meadow and
walked away from the regiment he was
vaguely conscious that a chasm, the deep
valley OF all prides, was suddenly be-
tween him and his comrades. 1t was
provisional, but the provision was that
he returned as victor. He had blindly
been led by quaint emotions and laid
himself under an obligation to walk
squarely up to the face of death.
But he was not sure that he wished to
make retraction even il he could do
SO without shame. AS matter of truth
he was sure of very little. He was main
ly surprised.
1t seemed TO him supernaturally strange
that he had allowed his mind to maneu-
yer his body into such situation. He
understood that it might be called dra-
matically great
However, he had no full appreciation of

comrades. The regiment had just turned
Its many faces toward him.
From the forest OF terrific noises there
suddenly emerged little uneven line OF
men. They fired fiercely and rapidly at
distant foliage on which appeared little
puns OF white smoke. The spatter OF
skirmish firing was added 10 the thunder
OF the guns on the hill. The little line
OF men ran forward. A color-sergeant fell
fiat wiAh mis- flag as IL he had slipped on
Ice. There was hoarse cheering from this
distant field.
Collins suddenly felt that two demon fin
gers were pressed into his ears. He could
see nothing but flying arrows, flaming
red. He lurched from the shock of this
explosion, but he made mad rush for
the house, which he viewed as a man sub
merged TO the neck in broiling surf
might view the shore. In the air, little
pieces OF she'll howled and the earthquake
explosions drove him insane with the
menace OF their roar As he ran the can
teens knocked together with rhythmical
tinkling.
AS he neared the house, each detail OF
the scene became vivid 10 him. He was
aware of some bricks of the vanished
chimney lying on the sod. There was
door which hung by one hinge.
Rifle bullets called forth by the insist
ent skirmishers came from the far-off
bank OF the foliage. They mingled with
the shells and the pieces of shells until
the air was torn in all directions by hoot-
ings, yells, howls fhe sky was full of
hends who directed all their wild rage at
his head.
When he came TO tho well, he flung him
self faoe-downward and peered into its
darkness. There were furtive silver CLINT
ings some feet from the surface. He
grabbed one OF the canteens and, unfast-
enlng It's cap, swung II down by the cord.
The water flowed slowly in with an indo-
lent gurgle.
And now as he Law with his face turned
away he was suddenly smitten with the
terror. 1t came upon his heart like the
grasp OF claws. All the power faded from
his muscles. For an instant he was no
more than dead man.
The canteen filled with a maddening
slowness in the manner OF all bottles.
Presently he recovered his strength and
addressed screaming oath TO it. lie
leaned over until IL seemed as IL he in
tended to try TO push water into il with
his hand. His eyes as he gaZed down in
10 the well shone like two pieces of metal
and in their expression was great appeal
and great curse. The stupid water de-
rided him.
There was the blaring thunder of
shell. Crimson light shone through the
swift-boiling smoke and made pink re-
hectlon on part of the wall of the well.
Collins jerked out his arm and canteen
with the same motion that man would
use In withdrawing his head from fur
mace.
He scrambled erect and glared and hes
itated. On the ground near him lay the
old well bucket, with a length of rusty
cham. He lowered Il swiftly into the we'll.
The bucket struck the water and then,
turning lazily over sank. When, with
hand reaching tremblingly over hand, he
