RED HAIR IN HISTORY.

General Fred Funston is red headed.
We suspected as much from a perusal
of his military record. Red has always
been considered the color of war and
the lighting gods of savage races have
generally been adorned with red top
knots. In jest and in earnest red hair
and a fighting disposition have been
linked together-from time immemorial.
In spite of this, however the Romans
looked upon this color of hair with
extreme aversion: the ancient Egyp-
tians expressed their sentiments by
burning a red headed maiden once a
year with lamentations designed to
eXterminate what they considered a
curse; and the Copts had a similar
ceremony which ended by sacrificing a
red haired donkey which was hurled
from a high wall with many impreca-
lions.
Still, redheaded women have played
prominent parts in the history of the
world. 1t is recorded that Helen of
Troy was one of these. Then there were
Catherine I, of Russia, Joan of Arc
Elizabeth of England, Mary Stuart,
Anne of Austria, ex-Empress Eugene
Ninon de PEncos, Lucretia Borgia and
Beatrice Cenci. And statistics show
that red-headed old maids are COM
paratively unknown From this it
may be argued that redheaded people
generally accomplish what they set out
to do.
This trait is exemplified in Funston.
Whether exploring the sun-scorched
deserts of Lower California or the ice
bound region of the great Yukon;
hacking his way through Spanish
ranks with a Cuban machete, or
swimming the Rio Grande of Luzon
in hailstorm of insurgent bullets;
smuggling his bride aboard trans
port disguised as drummer boy or
leading his command through the dead
ly thickets of the Philippines, he was
the same low-voiced, mild-mannered.

The Soldier With Two Guns.

Not few of the returning compaign-
ers of Camp Wickoff were burdened
with the weight of two equipments, al
though they had scarce strength enough
to carry one. Why some of them were
so laden is indicated by a case related

1t is richer far than it was thirty years
ago; it has two and a half times the
population it had in 1860; it has pro-
gressed as rapidly in the technical sci
enees which save life in camp and hos
pital; but the war department has not
kept pace with this growth. Every
great war has shown notable advance
over the last, up to the Russo-Turkish
war, in movement and supply of ar
mics, in sanitation of camps and in
treatment of sick and wounded in hos
pitfalls. The war of 1859, bad as it was,
was better in these respects than the
Crimean, and the wars of Prussia We're
made with scientific precision and econ
omy of human material. Our wretched
little war with Cuba, with its fever
camps and bare hospitals. its deadlocks
in administration and stalled artillery
and supply trains, recalls the worst
conditions of the Crimea.
Our secretary OF war and his coterie
of beaurocrats and benefciaries, the
president and his chief push who
seek to cover themselves and hide the
administration under precedents thirty
years old, are at least thirty years be-

GOODWORDS FOR WIDOWS.

From the Chicago Times-Herald we
learn that "a club has been organized
at Peoria composed of young men who
pledge themselves to marry none but
widows"
In Chicago such an organization
would be superfluous. If the court
records and newspaper reports may be
relied upon most of the manageable
females of the windy city" are women
of matrimonial experience. And Peoria
is not so far distant but the members
of this widow seeking club can always
obtain fresh supply in Chicago when
ever the demand exceeds the local
crop.
1t is evident that these young men
of Peoria take no stock in the admoni-
ton Sam Weller received from his
father to beware of vidders." They
do not even stipulate that the widows
shall be young, except that under 45
they are preferable. And who will
question their wisdom? There is a
charm about the widow that appeals
To men, especially to men whose ages
range from 80 to so. and these call
themselves young. For the widow has
tact and broader views of life than
girls have. Her experience has taught
her to be, considerate and sympathetic.
attributes vhich appeal to the heart of
every earnest man. Then the widow
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-14

understands men. She knows how
much they can be relied upon and,
! therefore, is seldom as eXacting as an
unscphisticated maid would be. She
has learned what may be said and
what would be better left unsaid. The
I innate selfishness of man is an open
book to her. 1t is a mystery to the in
experienced. AS a rule, men are al
ways thinking of their own affairs,
their pains and aches, their hopes and
fears, their struggles and ambitions
their comfort and appearance, and the
widow takes or Stimulates an interest
in these matters. 1t fiatters the men.
They are unconsciously charmed with
such attention. 1t really encourages
and helps them. 1t seems indispensi-
BILE to them after while.
These are the things that every wife
has to learn in time. The widow
knows them, or ought to know them
at the start; while the unmarried girl
is a great deal like the man in the
things she is taken up with and think
ing about. She gives too much time to
herself. Unless she marries rich she
has to get over it. She will find out
that married life is happy when practi-
cal and governed by broad common
sense. 1t isn't the exclusive little world
of her day dreams where she sits upon
a shrine of luxurious idleness, while
the husband puts in his leisure mo-
ments kneeling at her feet. Men grow
weary of that sort of thing, especially
do men who toll. They respect the
woman who senses the struggle every
man must make in earning wealth or
achieving distinction. The best wives
are those who realize it. The sensible
girl figures it out after a few years
of wifehood. And there is more in it
than constitutional selfishness. Men
breast the world and need to receive
strength and comfort rather than give
it. Home is everything to man where
woman recognizes this fact and acts
accordingly. But too often it is moth
ing but place to keep ones wardrobe,
eat an occasional meal, and entertain
company.
In the rush and hurry of the age it
may be that the young men of Peoria
have concluded to seek wives who know
these things already rather than wait
and fret and growl five or ten years
waiting for wives to find out for them
selves the true secrets of congenial
companionship.

Peace on earth, good will to men.
today-the glad tidings that will be
borne to a hopeful race. And many a
fervent prayer Will go up for the sue

meets next Thursday at The Hague.
Universal peace is the dream of the
philanthropist. 1t is the goal towards
which humanity is striving now-the
ideal state to which enlightened man,
who has trampled down so many OBJ
stacles, aspires at last. And partial
disarmament, which is the most that
can be expected of the conference which
is to assemble this week, may be a step
in the direction of permanent peace.
The women of the United States have
taken especial interest in this matter
and TO give it encoura cement will hold
mass-meetings in their respective COM
munities tomorrow. There will be such
an assembIage of ladies in the Assem-
bly, hall tomorrow evening.
The object of the meeting is to give
expression to the sympathy that women
naturally feel in this great movement;
to fortify the commissioners, who are
to represent the American people at
The Hague, with the intelligent appro-
val of the wives and mothers, present
and future, of this republic.
Resolutions will be passed, after adj
dresses have been delivered, congratu-
lating the nations of the earth upon the
prospects for partial disarmament and
that universal peace which will come to
be regarded as its logical sequence

Arrangements have been made to
nave this expression of the opinions,
the sympathies and hopes of women
presented to the commissioners

1t is worthy cause and the meeting

The Latest Parrot Story.

The parrots determination to speak
his set phrases under all sorts of cir
cumstances often produces strange sit

finland performer who kept a parrot
that he had trained to say. whenever
one of his masters tricks had been fin
ished, That's a good trick-what's the
next one?"
One day the juggler being in a sea-
port town, gave his performance in a
loft ON one of the wharfs, which hap
pened to be just over the place where
large quantity of powder was stored in
kegs. The juggler was about to perform
some feat which required the lighting
of a candle; ne had lighted it, and
threw the match away without making
sure that the blaze had gone out The
match, still burning, fell through a
crack in the floor, and dropped into one
of the kegs of powder which exploded
with great force, throwing the building
into the air
The parrot, who was blown up with
the rest, did not stop until it reached
the pinnacle of the topmast of great
ship which lay off the wharf. There

TO the world beneath, he called out, in
a shrill voice:

river banks than anyone else in Rands-

best mule in Placer county. / remem-
Der it as well as if it happened yester-
day. 1t must have been along about
1851. Stanford was then young strip
of fellow, with an awfully pretty
girl-wife out from Wisconsin. He had
some money. and he saw he couldn't
make cent at running a lawShOD,
because the miners made their own
law, and book law wasn't worth a cent
there. So Stanford bought a wagon
load of bacon, flour, molasses. beans
and dried apples at Sacramento. hauled
them up to Michigan Bluffs, in Placer
county, made tent out of his wagon
cover, and opened a store. There wasn't
much doing during the day, so Stan
ford used to lie down in his tent and
go to sleep until some customer woke
him up, for il was immediate hanging
for anyone to get caught stealing in
those days, when anyone could make
$40 day by a little industry in pam
ming out the gold. One day a fellow
had been seen at the Bluffs in weeks
The fellow unpacked his belongings
and turned the burro loose to pick u7

grub. The straw around young Stan
ford's tent attracted his attention first.
and then he commenced nosing around
inside. 1t wasn't three minutes until
he had his nose in the dried apple bar
rel. After eating all he could get away
with. he sauntered off down to the
creek and took a good drink of water.
In an hour there was a dead burro.
THE owner of the jack wanted Stan
ford 20 pay for him, and Stanford got
mad and demanded pay for his dried
apples. After wrangling over it all the
afternoon, they agreed to leave it TO
jury. First the stranger was tried
for stealing the dried apples, and &C
quilted, on the ground that man was
not criminally liable for the acts of his
burro. Then Stanford was tried for
killing the jack. and acquitted. on the
ground that he was not criminally re-
sponsible for the swelling properties of
the dried apples. Then they tried the
damage case each against the other.

that it was a split. and fined them both
