STRIFE

Is not unlike the battle between right and
wrong that is being continually waged in the
hearts of every man and woman throughout the
world. America is for the right in this contest
as all civilized nations acknowledge. Spain was
once All hOnOred nation. Its present brutal
treatment of the Cubans had its origin in smaller
expressions relentlessly continued until open re-
volt was the only avenue of escape left to the
unhappy CubanS. Spain will not admit its own
wrOngdOiEg and the world stands in awe watch
ing the just retributiOn soon to be melted out by
liberty-lOving Americans. However harsh this
punishment may be, civilization will yet join in
peOn of thanks as it shouts 'Well done, noble
Amerca Thou hast suppressed the OppressOr''
In reading this paper you will not get any de-
tailed accounts of this war, but you will GER
tanly CLEAN thoughts from it every week that
will inspire you with grander idea of the
wealth of true liberty that is the heritage of law
abiding Americans. Send on dollar and try it
for one year.

NATURE NOT ALWAYS WISE
To Prove This just Go Into the Poultry
Business For One Brief Spring.


1t was also borne in upon us during
years that the sellers have kind OF cold
storage system about eggs that mars their
usefulness. We seldom had an order for
eggs filled under a months time, during
which our appointed hens tried to outwit
us by having families of their own and
gave us no end of vexation. We cannot
feel either that eggs collected for month
and jolted over hundreds of miles of rail-
way and six miles of corduroy road arc tit
to offer conscientious hen. To corrobo-
rate this view of the imported egg may
cite the fact that the eggs laid by our own
fowls never failed to give proportion OF
at least ten out Of setting which Matched,
and several times the life rate ran as high
as 10 out of 49, / should say that the
fresher the egg the better the chance for
the chicken. simultaneously with our
discoveries in regard to the practices or
egg vendors we made some gloomy discov-
cries about the brutal clumsiness of the
mother hen. Hardly a family of little
chicks sees the sun that one or two or
three will not be trampled or smothered
or crowded out of the nest to freeze or in
SOME way done to death.
Thus pitiless experience brushed away
our illusions about nature One is always
hearing how wise nature is, how ingen-
ious, and how she Is ."cruel only to bs
kind But let any believer In nature
great head go into the poultry business for
one brief spring. and he will see that she
bungles like the rest of us. The hen very
literally makes a mess of it trying to hatch
her brood. She doesn' t even have instinct
enough to push out the added eggs
There seems to be no sense of smell In her
bill And she cannot be sure of her own
children, but promptly mothers any little
foundlings secretly introduced into her
home the first night after Matching. She

WOMEN AND HARD WORK.
Thoughts Inspired by the Picture Of the
Amazons of Italian Fields.

AmazOns OF Italian Fields.
great deal has been said and felt
about the women of the lower classes
working i'm the fields and of the hard
manual labor they are called to perform.
In the light of the ideas that women
should be delicate and refined physically,
doubtless the broad backs, hard muscles,
and heavy, knotted frames of peasants we
see appear discordant and unseemly. Fish
erwomen at Dieppe or Whitby, we know
and alongshore everywhere, hold their
own against town councils when they die
tate the policy of town governments. In
moments of danger, when the signal gun
summons the populace to scenes of dan
GER then these women, the wives and
mothers of the fishermen, man the life
boats and breast the waves going to the
rescue of their relatives in distress. Yet
these fierce, strong women scarcely fill the
modern idea of what womanhood should
be.
Now however, very recently, when it j.
the fad that women should be athletic,
broad shouldercd and deep lunged, to say
nothing of the wider education of our high
bred and healthy modern girls, the ques-
ton arises among the observant why
working in fields or carrying burdens is,
after all, such hardship and degradation
to the peasant woman more than to the
peasant man. Too much labor and great
toll doubtless break down and age both
sexes
But Disraeli spoke of women as of the
gentler If not the weaker sex, and when,
in Monte Sacro, L saw women swinging
the scythe with broad swathes or cutting
the sweet hay on the mountain sides with
their sickles and then filling up tall, pan
nierlike straw baskets, which they bore
away on their shoulders filed with fra
grant grass for the cattle, asked myself
if, after all, in their present civilization
these women Of Varallo-Sesia, at least,
could he better or more healthily employ
ed. They sang as they worked, and bright
and bronzed cheeks spoke of healthy toll
