Less than a year ago a fashionable bride

gift III repousse silver from IN ola school
girl friend. daughter of mpltimlhon-

beautiful box bearing the stamp Of a
famous house. and attracted unusual at

after the wedding the bride, in an UNI

gorgeous gift, together with others, TO

When the selections she made were

LESS TRUTHFUL.
This Is a Mans Assertion In Regard To
Women Compared With Men.


This Is a Mans Assertion In Regard TO
Women Compared With Men.
A man who has made a study Of
women and their ways remarked the
other day that women are, as a set, less
frank and truthful than men. Whatever
truth there is in this assertion we may
be sure it is at least not innate, but due
to the difference in the requirements of
the two sexes and the consequent diff
ference in their education. Men are
taught to reveal true natures from the
cradle to the grave. Men are taught
that, being human, they are subject to
various passions and liable to fall into
error which it is not necessary for them
to conceal, for if they deviate from the
straight and narrow path the world will
quickly forget and forgive. Women, on
the contrary, are taught that if they are
not inwardly statues of decorum, they
must make it appear that they are, for
the world is merciless to one of their
sex who by word or deed hints that the
smallest tottering on her pedestal, not
to mention even momentary descent
from it, is possible.
In short, women are required to con-
ceal their real human selves from all
bebolders as absolutely as they conceal
their lower limbs in the conventional
draperies of femininity, while men are as
free to reveal their real selves TO the
world as to clothe themselves in the
neither garments of their sex. But con-
cealment or lack of frankness is by no
means untruthfulness. Philadelphia

L is a good thing that Mr.. Bryan is

lect and patriotism. Il is estimated that
at his last meeting in New York the
crowd that endeayored to hear him num-
bered $1,000, Notwithstanding a drench-
ing rain was falling all the while. A
regular brigade of policemen had to es-
cort Mr.. Bryan through the crowd and
they could only do it by fighting their
way.
The finest" are a magnificent set Of
men-any one Of them being equal to
two or three ordinary men-but after
they had fought Mr.. Bryan's way
through that cheering mob they had got
ten decidedly the worst OF it. They
were scratched and disfgured and the
uniforms were nearly torn off them.
No big crowd knows its own strength.
Ii it had not been for this brave police
protection, this immense. surging, wild
multitude, who were simply endeavoring
to demonstrates their love for their can
didate, would have undoubtedly killed
him in the crush.
