Should it be a rule of life to get all
you can, or to give all you can? That
question is just now under discussion
Well, how much can one give unless
he first gets? The men who are laying
thousands or millions on the affairs OF
education, humanity or religion have
generally been successful as captains
of industry, princes of commerce. or
leaders of large business enterprises.
Possibly also their chief benefaction
has consisted in creating profitable en-
ployment-which is kind of giving
especially, If they have been just and
considerate in their dealings, and have
paid fair wages. To get honestly is
quite as legitimate as TO give generous
ly, and ought to take equal rank.

Miss Anthony Remembered by Western
Women.

Washington, Feb. 1T.-At the closing
session of the Woman's National Suf-
frage Association to-day. the retiring
president, Miss Susan b. Anthony,
was presented by the women of Wy
oming with pin in the shape of an
enameled flag. in the blue field of
which four diamonds indicated the four
suffrage states.
The presentation address was made
by Mrs. Warren. wife of Senator War
ren, who promised that as the state
was added to the suffrage constella-
tion, "A diamond should take the place
of the tiny golden stars that complet-
ed the field and she hoped that Miss
Anthony would live to see the flag so
jewelcd.
Then Mrs. Shafroth, wife of Repre-
sentative Shafroth. on behalf of the
women of Colorado. presented Miss
Anthony with an exquisitely fashioned
loving cup of solid silver. as an ex.
preston of the regard and love of Colo
RADIO women.
Miss Anthony made feeling speech
of acknowledgment of these gifts. in
which she paid n pleasing tribute TO
the women OF the two Rocky Noun
tain suffrage states.

There is one sphere of woman's ac-
tivity which is not the subject OF the
familiar criticism that the work had
better be left to the men. The New
York Sun publishes a record, which
does not purport to be complete, OF
notable gifts and bequests OF women
during the year just ended. The mil
lions bestowed on various philanthrop-
ic objects, using the term in its broad
est sense, bear witness alike to the
generous spirit of the givers. and to
the general store of unselfishness
which saves us from the condemna-
ton of being, as nation, in bondage
to greed and extravaganza.

BRITISH PRESS FORWARD.
French Visits Kimberly = Not Known
Where Cronje Has Gone.

Where CrOnJe Has Gone
London, Feb. 17-General CroDJa,
with start of n day or two, is SEEM
ingly in full retreat from Lord Rob
erts, moving northward.
General French, with the cavalry,
simply stayed over night in Kimberley
and then pushed on to get in touch
with the retiring enemy. A large Boer
wagon train is moving toward Bloem-
fontein, followed presumably by
large force of British infantry. In their
hasty departure the Beers lost guam
titles of supplies and ammunition.
Military opinion here is that Lord
Roberts will not push far after the
Beers Immediately. because of trans
port problems and the need of rest for
the troops. He has to feed 10000 per-
sons in his army and the whole Kim
berley population. He must rebuild the
railway from Modder river down to
Kimberley and revictual the latter
General French lost few men only
In action, but the forced marches and
heat have probably made many ill.
Numbers of remountS must be pro-
vided.
Those who read the news closely see
only one disturbing factor in the Cape
situation and that is the presence OF
the Beers toward Lord Roberts line of
supply through De Aar, which was
never more important than now. The
Beers under Commandants Delarey
and Gobler are making persistent eff
fort to penetrate to the railway. They
have pushed General Clements back to
Arundel and have outfianked him. All
are within sixty miles. or two days
hard march, of the central railway.
Doubtless Lord Roberts has left con-
siderable forces along the line and can
send back more if necessary.
General Roberts has sent the follow
ing dispatch:
''Iacobsdahl, Feb. 16-I have good
reason to believe the Megersfontein
trenches have been abandoned, and
that the Beers are endeavorng to es-
cape. General French is securing the
country north of Kimberley. One Of
General Kelly-Kenny's brigades of in
fantry is in pursuit of Il large Boer
convoy moving towards Bloemfon-
tein."
Another dispatch. under date of yes
tcrday, says: The road between Mod
der river and JacObsdahl is now open.
The distance is only nine miles. The
road is available for sending reinforce
mentS and supplies.
