THE WARM CORNER
FOR TEN ONLY

The trouble with women is that they
don't understand Us. II they did this
world would be a very different place.
ALI this talk about our not understanding
women Is nonsense; It's the other way
round. They misjudge Us. If they only
knew Us thoroughly they would keep Us
Guessing all the time. Because we like
TO guess Is the reason we don't like bI-
cycle skirts. We prefer to believe or
suspect that she wears a No. 2 shoe, with
long skirt than be dead sure she wears
NO 5. with short skirt. That is be-
cause we have pure minds
We don't think it Is asking very much
TO have one column devoted to Us when
whole pages are devoted to women, es-
ptcially when the ca se is so desperate and
we are dying out. Very soon the Presi-
dent is going to pension every woman who
has ever had a son. Women are forbid
den TO read this column-any woman
who reads 1t must expect what she gets
but already the Corner is having it's
effect and women are losing their jobs
all over the country and being replaced
by Men. Man. the poor worm, is about
to have his innings. There is another side
to this question. however. and the turn
iLg out from Offices of women is going to
" ork q hardship at first, for it will take
the bread and butter out Of the mouths
af many husbands and children, and the
Jesuit will be to drive many deHcately
purtured Men out into the world to fight
lifeS battles but in time these things
may adjust themselves. Women will find
themselves driven to matrimony. So,
brothers, choose women at home or in
the Office. Which will you take? The fu-

Mrs Langtry who recently married
man who is going-to be Knighted for his
bravery has put play on IN London that
is like this column. for men only. 1t is
called THE Degenerates," and Mrs Lang
try plays the title role with ease and
grace. The play is all about herself and
her Past, that is, as much as could be
put In one play and be allowed by the
authorities. There are a great many
characters in the piece. but very little
character. The Prince of Wales sat IN
box the first night with the proud hus-
hand, and was heard to remark that the
play was very true to life. This was con-
sidered a great compliment because ev-
cry one knew that he knew The Hon.
Hugo de Ra! he beaned with delight and
said there never was a woman with his
wife's record. She was so natural in the
part that people could hardly believe
she was acting. The New York theater

fire proof.
Z Nest all cities can be roughly divided
into two classes, those whsre the personal
column lOuTishes and those where it does
not. Minneapolis belongs to the former
class. A Man who was looking for a
place to settle was standing the other

And the next day he received twenty
five answers. So he settled in St. Paul,
where it is not so crowded.
The wicked Man who sent Mai. Bean a
telegram asking him TO be Chief of Pc
lice has not been found The real truth
about that is just coming out and 1t IS
that the mayor really sent the MESA Sc.
but after it was gone he was so afraid
that Bean would burst before coming
horne, and every one was anxious 10 keep
the regiment together and bring it home
intact, that he sent the second wire to

like this at all when ne secs his awful
secret has gotten into print.
Mrs. John A Logan asks patheucaHy

Mr. and Mrs Mckinley III Washington.
Mr. Mckinley has been suffering from
insomnia. and nothing that he takes for
it seems to do him any good. Some peo-
plc think it's the things he has taken

that Dewey does not agree with him at

Admiral in the world comes, he may
Tell Things. Mr.. Mckinley thinks-and

Dewey needs manager. It's the awful
uncertainty of things that causes the
nervousness.
