What a Woman Can Do.

What can woman do? She can laugh
with her hps-make a man think she is the
merriest cricket in the world, while her eyes
are full of unshed tears and her heart is
beating as if it would burst. She can for
give great sin like an angel aud nag a
man about petty vice like an importation
from the lower regions. She can fix over
old frocks and wear them with cheerful
heart that she may help somebody, and she
can spend the first money that she re lily
feels that she can use for herself in going to
a matinee and on sweets, when she knows
she needs new pair Of shoes. She can
quiet baby with one or two reassuring
pats when man might almost knock the
life out of it, give it whole bottle of
soothing syrup, and it would still be open
eyed and aggressive. She can employ a
day looking tor pair of braces for Jack,
and yet in time of trouble she could buy a
mourning outfit in half an hour, and her
needle would fly as if guided by electricity
in sewing on bridal gown, or shroud
for somebody's baby. She can cry out her
troubles on a mans shoulder and feel a re-
liefthat is only possible from masculine help,
and ten minutes after she can laugh In that
mans face and wonder what men were
made for. She can be brave in time of
mental trouble; she can stand by and hold
the hand of some one who is suffering from
physical trouble, and yet she will scream as
if she were about to be killed at the sugges-
ton of mouse or beetle. She can smile
over a dinner of bread and butter and tea,
when that's all she can get, and later on,
when prosperity is to the fore she can turn
up her nose at any game below canvas
back duck, and wonder at people caring
for anything but the best brand OF Ber-
gundy. What can't she do? We will tell
you. She can never wear trousers with
any grace, and she will never be able to re-
sist either the man or the baby who has
gotten the love of her heart.-Exchange.

FIXED INCOMES AND FREE SILVER.
All Who Labor Will Find Their Wages
Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.


Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.
The Denver chamber of commerce,
replying to the appeal for sound money
issued by the New York chamber Of
commerce, says that resumption of free
coinage of silver is Objectionable to per
sons of fixed incomes.
This is true, but in a sense broader
than it's authors intended. Persons of
fixed incomes are not merely million
aires or army or navy officers. All who
labor in this country, whether the pay
be called salary or wages, are also per
sons of fixed incomes, and they decided
ly object to having their incomes cut in
half for the benefit of silver mine own
ers.
The blacksmith who makes $15 6
week, the carpenter at So per day, the
salesman at 81 900 year. the agricul-
tural laborer at 81. SO a day, the teacher
at $40 per week, all are persons of fixed
incomes They find their incomes none
too large for their necessities. Why
should they not object to a slump to
silver, free and unlimited, for the ben
eft of those who own silver, but at a
loss of SO per cent in their fixed in
comes?
1t is the labor of the country that
most determinedly demands the gold
basis; that demands stability in the cur
rency; that objects most positively to a
loss of half its fixed income.
Silver mine owners and agents must
reckon with this element, and it is a
mighty element at the ballot box. Let
platform writer's note this fact as well
as silver mine capitalists. Chicago

Insurance Talks No. 4

Have you ever stopped to consider
that an active productive human life is
an invested capital which should be
protected against loss like any other
capital?
The cash value of this capital is repre-
scented by its earning capacity.
When family is dependent upon
the income from that capital, protee-
ton by Life Insurance is a sacred
duty.
A 5000 Life Insurance policy in the
Equitable means 5000 estate.
100000 people are buying such an
estate of this company alone.
Are YOU one of them?
