HE is SADLY MISTAKEN.
II a Man Tells a Woman lie Loves Her She
Has Reason for Doubt

Professor Oscar Chrisman of the
Kansas State Normal School claims to
be an expert on the subject of love
and at the Mothers Congress at Des
Moines recently assured the women
present that man never loves. "What
in man is sometimes designated love"
he says, is nothing more than sex
feeling. If the man the woman loves
should be transformed into a woman
she would love him still. If the wo-
man the man loves should be trans.
formed into man he would no longer
love her, as his love is sex attraction,
while woman's is love in the true sense.
Man is reason and woman is love ;
that mans feeling for woman is sex
attraction and woman's feeling for
man is love in the true sense.
"There are two types of mind that
will construe my use of sex attraction
to refer to the baser passions in men.
The one is the unscientific, unframed,
impulsive mind, the other is the one
whose soul il as base as hell, be he
who he may, and is misquoting and
condemning in order to hide his own
thoughts and feelings. No one has
right to interpret ME other than
in the terms place him. I most en-
phatically say that l have no such
idea il mind that man is guided alone
in his feelings for women by his baser
passions. But l mean by sex attrac-
tion much other than passions. /
mean all that goes to make up woman.
L contend that man finds in woman
the complement to himself, and thus
is attracted by her and should she in
any way be changed into man he
could no longer feel for her the same
as before, as she would not have for
him those attributes which compile
ment his. But this is not love in men.
1t is but sex attraction. Woman, on
the contrary, has mother love. She
loves man because in him she sees the
father Of her children and as long as
she feels this she must love him in
whatever form he may appear. She
loves him through her love for her
child, which is the strongest passion
in the human race, hence love is an
attribute of the feminine mind only."

Pretty Tough on the Worms.
Seattle Argus.

Seattle Argus.
A lady in this city who is the dot
ing mother of promising son about
six years old, was in the habit of SUBJ
sidizing the small boy to induce him
to be good and reform from the num-
erous evils into which the average
youngster is wont to stray. In this
way the young man was kept plenti-
fully supplied with pennies. In the
course of time, however, his mother
concluded this course OF training was
not right and that her little son
should be good because it was right
and not through such sordid consider
ations as pennies, SO she announced
that the subsidies would be discon-
tinued. Things ran along quietly for
some time, and she noticed his supply
of pennies seemed quite as plentiful as
ever, in fact, he seemed to have PEN
nies to burn, but she gave the matter
no further thought as to their source.
One afternoon she heard an exultant
shout in the back yard, and on look
ing out discovered her young hopeful
mounted on a box, in the midst of an
admiring throng, and behind him was
posted the following notice:
For one cent I will swallow one
small, worm.
"For 2 cents I will swallow one
large fat worm.
"For 3 cents l will swallow one
small fuzzy worm.
"For cents / will swallow one
large fuzzy worm.
"For 5 cents I will swallow one
small green treetoad."

A RELIC OF 1ARBARiSM.


The purchase OF commissions in the
army and navy is no longer tolerated.
Privateering and the reckless looting
of captured towns is forbidden. The
half-savage customs of medievalism
have been abolished from the army
and navy Of modern times. The per.
nicious bestowal OF bounty alone re-
mains.

ner for his work at Manila. Whyi
Is the work of naval officer in time
of war a private business speculation,
or is this officer hired agent of the
country? He receives his education
and his salary, throughout his pro-
fessional career, from his country, to
do whatever work ia required of him
in his own line. Why should he re.
ceive additional pay to do his daty!
Bounty money simply makes bis
regular salary a retaining fee, sub
sidy; it makes naval engagement a
private buccaneering adventure.
An officer, under this absurd system
does not 60 into naval battle as an
army officer goes into action, as a
member of the judiciary undertakes
his work, or as any government Of
foial performs his. He is merely q
government pirate, held in check, un'
der full pay, till the opportunity
comes. Then, with ships belonging
to the government, with education
and experience given him, he is al
lowed to fling himself at the enemy
with the incentive of private gain to
make him do what is already his dis
tinct and exclusive duty.
If this custom is maintained, ther
by all that is fair and just an army
officer should receive a percentage o.
the loot of conquered territory, and
prosecuting attorneys a percentage o.
every claim they win for the govern
ment. Bounty money for q modern
navy is q monstrous absurdity.

/ was over the plain west OF San
Bautista in the Pelos country recent
ly trying to look up strayed
horse, writes A. G. Gillispie, a Texas
ranchman. There are always plenty Oh
cattle on the plain, especially In the
winter when the stock drifts south be-
fore the northers. They were all there
that day, but instead Of being scattered
over the prairie as usual most OF them
were punched together near the middle
of the plain and all the others in sight
were running to join them. The herd
was a good two miles away, but | had
the curiosity to ride over and see what
fight between two bulls, but when L
got where | could look over the heads
OF the cattle | saw that q jaguar had
come out on the plain and knocked
over yearling heifer. The cows and
steers had gathered and formed a half
circle about him, and they were bel
lowing and paving the ground at a
great rate, but they stayed at a safe
distance from the jaguar, who was
tearing the heifers throat, now and
then lifting his head to snarl at the
cattle. So far it was a game of bluff
on both sides. The arrival of a 2-year-
old half-grade Texas bull changed the
situation. He passed tothe front Of
the herd and advanced along toward
the jaguar. At this the jaguar left off
tearing at the heifer and, leaping over
her body, faced the bull.
He was a handsome, flerce-looking
fellow, with his sleek skin OF black and
yellow, as he crouched to the ground
with his white teeth showing and the
tip Of his tail curving in and out like
snake. The bull came on, roaring,
stopping to paw the ground and shake
his head at four or five yards away,
then lowered his head as he charged
upon the jaguar. Just as the horns
seemed about to touch him the jaguar
rose. curving, from the ground, over
leaped head and horns and landed
square upon the bulls shoulders. In

An Attractive Dining Rom.

the dining room one of the most inn
portant rooms in the household. The
family will meet here oftener than
elsewhere, and three times a day they
gather around the family board. 1t is
an educator to have an attractive table
as the appearance Of it has much to do
with the appetite, for a table that is
laid with a dainty white cloth, snowy
napkins and pretty table ware, will
often tempt one to eat, when, under
other conditions, there would be no
inclination for food. A housewife
makes a great mistake to be Indifferent
to her children's table manners and the
surroundings. l have heard hostess

she could always tell the ones who
were used to table appointments, nap

CAMEO CARVING,


Method Employed.
All the tools used by the cameo carv-
er would make but a handful. The
worker sits before wheel turned by
a pedal surface on which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone or shell beneath the neGdle-like
drill. The little pointed instruments
which are used 70 drill resemble those
employed by dentist, and, indeed, 1t
was from the cameo carver's kit that
the dentists got many OF their ideas
when the tools now in use by thera
came to be manufactured, thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness ac-
cording to the portion OF the figure or
design to be executed some are as fine
as the point Of cambria needle. A
small china receptacle also stands near.
filled with oil and diamond dust, and
into this the workman frequently dips
his tool during the progress of his
work. The cameo cutters occupation
is very exacting. He can put in only
few hours work at time, as usual
thing, because OF the tension on his
nerves. A quavering hand may be re-
sponsible for the single stroke which
will spoil a weeks work He must
have an eye almost like miscroscope,
and a very delicate touch; he must be
an artist in soul and as skilled a
craftsman as is matchmaker; he
must know how to model and draw,
and he must have a knowledge OF
chemistry, so as to remove offending
spots. The work is executed in relief
on many kinds of hard or precious
stones, but essentially the chalcedonic
variety OF quartz, and on shells. The
cameo cutter himself prefers onyx be-
cause of it's dark and light layers,
which throw out in bold relief white
head, say, against a black background.
He evolves his picture by removing all
that portion of the white stratum re-
naming after the head has been COM
pleted. Sapphire blocks are used, car
nalian, turquoise, amethyst and nu-
merous other stones. 1t takes about
one month to execute a portrait on

A portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one in shell may be had for $50. The
