CAN THIS BE TRUE2

Women Admire Only Those Men Who
Can Boss Them.
In every woman there is a peculiar
sentiment which she can not analyze,
yet which she must acknowledge ex-
lists. This sentiment, if defined, is
nothing more nor less than her respect
for the man who shows himself to be
Times. She may sit up in feminine ar
rogance and declare thai she won't
stand this and won't stand that; that
she would just like to see any man tell
her what she should or shouldn't do,
but when the time comes for a clash
of wills, unless she finds herself decid-
eddy and ANONYMOUSLY defeated, she
isn't satisfied. OF course there will be
lots of women who read this who will
declare 1t to be rank heresy; but it isn't;
it Is the truth, and it is right that it
should be so. In every union happi-
ness exists only when the woman has
reason to respect the man, and she can
him when he has proved that he will
be the dominating power. This is no
plea for wife heaters or other similar
ly brutal men who endeavor to prove
their mental superiority by an exhibit
ton Of physical power. The strongest
men, the athletes, the giant framed
compounds of might and muscle, are
proverbially the gentlest with women,
yet their latent strength wins Woman's
admiration as much because Of her own
unacknowledged willingness to be the
slave, while he is the master, as because
Of its absolute physical perfection. The
more brain woman has the happier
she is to be made to feel her dependence
on the strong arm and the masculine
judgment of her husband or lover. Just
as soon as she settles questions, makes
plans for him, plays fast and loose
with him and generally feels and
conducts herself as though she were
the mightier atom, then she has lost
respect for him and happiness for her
self It is all very well to talk OF
woman's progress, her intellectual adj
vancement, her equality with man and
all the other ideas than our rich and
rare civilization has engendered, in the
affairs Of intimate heart relationship
the woman wants to acknowledge man
as her master and isn't really happy
when he is willing to be anything else.

SOMETHING NEW IN FICTION.

A Style Sugs ested by the Great Electro
cal Transmission Lines.
A nomadic electrical engineer and
inventor, recently returned from the
Pacific coast, relates the following
story. in the Electrical Engineer: "A
few weeks ago great American eagle,
which had been born and brought UP
In California, and was, therefore,, a
sound-money advocate, was making
visit In the vicinity of Fresno, Cal.
While he was waiting around on the
mountainside for his friends to appear
ne became weary and decided to alight
n some convenient place for an inter-
val OF rest. He happened to land on
one OF the barb wires of the electric
transmission line coming down from
the mountains into Fresno. While en-
joying his siesta an eagle came along
whom the California bird at first mis-
took for one of his friends. The
stranger also made the mistake of sup
posing that the California eagle was
a friend of his, consequently he aligh.-
ed on another wire. of the transmits
sion line directly opposite and began
conversation. In the course of the
talk it was discovered that the new
conner was a Nevada bird. and conse-
quently rabid free-silverite. It is
much the same with the feathered
things Of the air as 1t is with human
beings; that is to say, that the course
OF conversation naturally turned to
politics and from that to discussion
of the money question. The crisis
came when the birds passed from
words to blows. The man, WHO saw
the fight is not exactly certain in his
own mind who struck first, but he is
positive that when the beaks of the
two eagles met the only thing that
he could see was cloud of smoke and
flash of lightning. Closer investiga-
ton revealed the fact that immedi-
ately under the perches formerly oc-
cupied by the two eagles were two
pairs Of claws, two beaks and severa!
bushels of scorched and pungent feath-
ers scattered over the scenery The
puff of smoke iEclude., the balance OF
the remains. But here is where the
real damage was done. When these
two eagles crossed their bills they
short-circuited the line and caused
an arc, which was maintained for somc
minutes, between the two opposite
sides Of the line, until the copper was
melted through and the circuit was
