THE BIG THINGS
A Claim That Women Fave Never
Done Them

Hundreds OF college-bred women have
been and are capably and efficiently en-
gagged in teaching, and a few have gain
ed certain distinction as presidents and
professors in colleges for women, but no
great and original educator has come
from among them, says Helen Waiter
son Moody in Scribner's. Occasionally
a determined young graduate gets a
foothold in newspaper Office and usual
ly keeps it, with credit to herself and her
higher education, yet the few women
editors of eminence have not been COL
lege- bred, and there is nothing to be
gained by concealing the fact that the
college women who have undertaken
journalism SEEM as yet, to have had no
influence in sweetening the flood of sen =
sational and nasty print for which the
newspaper women of the country must
bear their share Of discredit with the
newspaper men.
The number Of college women who
have taken up medicine is considera BILE
some of them, no doubt, from a real
love of science and some for love of
career. While their work has been able
and their success undoubted, it is just to
say that they have not contributed orig
inally to medical science. There are a
few women collegians in law, in liter
ature, in the pulpit and in other profess
sions, and their helpfulness and enthu-
siasm have been especially noticeable
in educational and philanthropic works.
In all these fields of usefulness the work
of college women, taken by and large"
has been good, honest, competent work,
about like that Of the average industri-
Gus man; but it has been derivative not
creative; complimental, not brilliant;
offering little opportunity for sex cele-
bration on the part of those enthusiasts
who believe that women have needed
only diploma and ballot to be bril-
liantly equipped for conquering all the
world that men have left unconquered.

A MODERN MIRACLE.


Mr.. Jenkins Fench sat in his private
office in the new building of the ALA
coochee Land, Manufacturing and I'm
provement company, giving audience to
prospective investors as they were ad-
mitted one at a time by the clerk in
the outer room. If, in the beginning.
the manager had played somewhat
!eisurely second to Lawyer Sharpless'
lead, all traces of inertness vanished
with the breaking of ground for the
new city, and Mr.. Fench became for
the time an incarnation of enthusiasm
and restless activity. Allacoorhee and
its advantages circumscribed the rim
of his horizon; the rest of the world was
mere tail to the comet of which this
latest luminary in the urban galaxy
was the head.
And evidence was not wanting that
no inconsiderable portion of the world
of investment stood ready to take ALA

morning till night the outer office was
crowded with buyers; and the rocket
like flight of prices seemed only to add
TO the eager anxiety of those who wait
ed their turns to get speech with the
busy manager. 1t is true that Mr..

flame of enthusiasm, and it is equally
certain that some of his methods were
rather more enterprising than honor
able; but no one stopped to analyze

From the New Era, Greenburg. Ind.
This paper recently received information
that the ten year old daughter of Mr.. NJ. Ry-
bolt, of Hartsville, Ind, had been cured Of
severe illness. The case seemed more than
an ordinary one, and consequently a special
representative was sent to investigate.
The liybo.ts are well-to-do farmers living
about two miles southwest of Hartsville.
When the reporter called Mr.. and Mrs. Ry-
bolt and their daughter in question, Louise,
were at home, also the other three children.
Louise is the oldest. She had bee n going to
school for four years, and was formerly in
very good health, but for the past year or
moro she had been i'll.
A year ago the present winter it was
noticed that she was breaking down in
health. For time the cause could not be
ascertained, but 1t was finally decided that
IT was from over-study. 1t has always been
the ambition of Louise to educate herself as
soon as possible, for she was anxious to
and to enter college of music, which her
parents promised she could do as soon as
she should finish the common branches.
How many children by diligent study to
achieve their ambitions are injuring their
health. 1t was SO in this case. The child
studied hard all day and often far into the
night, and had won the respect and admira-

Old Red Cloud. the Talleyrand of

career On the Pine Ridge reservation in
South Dakota. With his death the last
famous and historic character among
the American Indians. the peer of Pow
haitian, Osceola, Black Hawk, Geronimo
and Sitting Bull, will pass away. Red
Cloud is now SO years old. The infirm-
tiles of age are weighing heavily upon
him, and physicians say he can live only
q short time. He realizes his enfeebled
condition, and accepts it with Indian
stoicism. To the reservation agent who
recently made a call upon him, Red
Cloud said:
my days are numbered. The Great
Spirit will call me, and Red Cloud will
answer the summons without finch
ing. l would like to see the Great
Father at Washington once more, but
[ am too feeble to stand the long jour
ney. I want his pledge that my people
will be protected. They are at peace
with the whites, but they are not well

make trouble by giving the young
braves whisky. My counsels of late
have been for peace, but when am gone

things and guard against them"
