WOMEN AND HI1MnR

There are some questions which, like
the poor. we have always with us.
One of them is the perennial and we'll
worn query as to whether women have
a sense of humor, remarks the Phila-
delphia Bulletin editorially. A New
York newspaper prints letters on the
subject from half-a-d dozen women,
prominent in various walks of life, in
Guiding Maud Adams, Emma Thursby,
and the president of the New York
State Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. These declare that women
have humor, though they point out
that. owing to the conventional re-
strictions upon their behavior, their
sense Of the humorous finds less free
expression than that Of man.
These ladies are right. 1t is as fool
ish to ask if women have humor as it
would be to ask If they have sense Of
pathos. or knowledge Of right and
wrong. AS normal human creatures,
with the faculties, perceptions and
emotions of the race of which they
constitute one-half, they possess HUI
NOR just as they possess the other at
tributes of humanity. The old theory
that women were in some peculiar and
mysterious degree essentially and en-
tirely different from the masculine por-
ton of mankind is no longer dominant
among intelligent people. 1t has be-
come generally recognized that, al
though In her manifestations of emo
ton and sentiment woman differs radi-
cally from man, in every fundamental
respect these qualities are the same in
both sexes. The enlightened modern
tendency Is to consider a woman as
neither queen, to be driven, but as a
thoroughly responsible, fully equipped
human being, who should be held to the
same degree of accountability as man.
1t is true that there have been no
great women humorists entitled to rank
with Cervantes, that Shakespeare
among satirists, or even with Mark
Twain; but this proves nothing. 1t is
also conceded that no woman with the
single exception of George Eliot, has
ever produced works of literature
which can be fairly regarded as reach
ing the level of the great masterpieces
produced by men. Yet the absurdity
of saying that women do not possess
either literary talent or poetic faculty
would be manifest Woman's humor
is likely to be of a finer, less robust
character than that of man, and she is
seldom able to appreciate heartily a
joke against herself. But any man who
declares that women do not possess
both wit and humor is blind to some OF
the most obvious facts of life.

what was coming here to preach de
Gospel to his po' colored children in
desc lowlands. I Is glad to see YER I
learned that he was an eXhorter or
'eXhauster,' as they called him, and
said, You must pray for me before
begin preaching
After song of marvellous pathos
by that vast audience, in which every
body present Joined, keeping time by
swaying their bodies in perfect unison
I called on the old man to pray. No
words can describe his appearance or
the hush of perfect silence that settled
down upon the audience as the old man
knelt down and lifted his long arms to-
ward the sky, and looking up with
open eyes to heaven he began in a low
tremulous tone:
p" o Lord, bless our young deciding
elder, who has come from far to preach
Your blessed Gospel to us po children
in de lowlands oh sorrow and OBJ sin. o
Lord, put Your arm round i'm, and
may dat arm be to i'm like a broad
belt oh gol', 0 Lord, give i'm de wisdom
OBJ de olden times and knowledge oh de
profits and de kings. Nail his ear to de
wisdom post. Rough shoe i'm with de
preparation. Front and fight his cherry
battle. May de kingdom OBJ Satan
tremble, reel, and fall to de ground be-
fore i'm, and Your own kingdom, o
Lord, be built on de ruins thereof.
Take care of i'm like you did Your
children long time ago in de wilderness.
In de night time You led 'em with fire
and in de daytime You went before 'em
n vi
troublous times, and many people don't
care to hab our deciding elder come to
us from de great city, sleep in our
cabins. teach our children, and preach
de Gospel to us, but, o Lord, Thou hast
sent i'm and Thou wilt care for i'm;
Lead i'm, too, with de fire and de
cloudy pillar
Then the old man became en-
barrassed. His idea was to ask God to
lead and protect me, but he had in his
thought the pillar of fire at night and
the cloudy pillar by day, and he want
ed a wall of protection put behind me
so my enemies could not overtake me;
but the more he tried to get the SEN
tence straight the more he became per-
picked, and, like a gerat many other
preachers the greater his embarrass-
| ment the higher were the tones of his
voice, until at last, with a voice that
penetrated through the great forests
he shouted in sheer desperation: o
Lord, put wall before i'm and fire
behind i'm but the order OF his words
did not signify. His thought was mani
fest, and the great catering shouted
! Amen and Amen.
I'VE had services all day, preaching
or singing, comforting the bereaved
| and finally arranged to build church

church extension fund to buy the
| nails, windows, and doors, the congre-
| cation to do the rest"

New York, May 10.-The stock mar
ket was largely influenced again to-day
by the wheat market, the movements
in which unsettled the tone in all spec

plunge in the price of July wheat at
Chicago from $1.23 to s1.06. The stock
market during the early part of the
day absorbed a very large line of offer
ings to liquidate profits and the selling
for London account was also heavy
again, total sales for that account be-
ing estimated at over rs, 900 shares. The
general demandh for stocks throug
commission houses was sufficient to
take up thes offerings at well sus-
tanned level of prices. There was evil
dence also of the operation of bull
pools here and there in the list, notably
in some of the low-priced stocks, which
are usually almost inactive and imruov-
able. The strength impaired to these
stocks helped to sustain the market and

relates to the passing through that

was Butcher Weyler's brother-ln-

whiskers and mustache and gray hair.
They all felt pretty sore over their
capture. The officers had large rolls
of Spanish money and wanted to ex-
change it for greenbacks, dollar for

privates were understood, very dark
and evil looking. They stopped at the
cafe about ten minutes and then the
prisoners proceeded on their way to At
