LAND OF NOD CHILDREN
PICTURESQUE LITTLE OPERA AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL,


THE Land of Nod" is peopled with
pretty, graceful and picturesque chill
dren. AT least that portion of the drow-
sy kingdom that an immense audience
was given a peep of last night at the
Central high school was so peopled. 1t
was the second time that the pretty
operetta has been given in st. Paul.
and on both occasions it has scored a
complete success. Prof John Dahle. the
composer. was also the stage manager
last evening. the play being given by
the Jefferson. school pupils for the bene-
fit of the school
Miss Blanche Jurka made a most gal
liant and sweet-voiced young king, and
in Miss Signe Dahle his majesty had a
consort worthy his royal virtues Miss
Ella Henninger proved herself a clever
little Coincidence in her role of Mother
Goose and was forced to sing her song
again. William Miller. as Sandman:
Bonnie Peterson, as Jack Of Dreams
Irene Howell. as Lody Fortune; Abbie
Mccoy. as Queen of the Dollies: Clyde

Besides these there were the pages,

as well as to her younger sister, and that
it sometimes offers advantages to the
plain woman. In former articles dealing
with the employment for women 1 have
constantly had occasion to refer to the
good-looking girl, and while she Is by
no means handicapped as a successful
typewriter the profession has rOomy
niche for the spinster who has none of
these PERSONAL advantages. The other
day man came into the office of a city
firm OF typewriterS to ask for woman
secretary, adding the proviso: BE sure
you do not send me a good-looking girl.
"Typewriting, as a profession for wom-
en-, has been increasing during the last
ten years by leaps and bounds, and al
ready we have the fair typist figuring
in modern fiction, as the governess did in
earlier decades.
1.-The necessary qualifications for girl
who essays to become a professional
typist and shorthand writer-for the two
usually go together-may be briefly
summed up as ~quickness of brain, neat
ness and order. deXterity of fingers. a
thoroughly good all-around education and
a knowledge of French and German. 1t
is an employment which appeals to the
educated class of women-the woman
who has an acquaintance with literature
and such a knowledge of history and
geography as will prevent her making a
blunder such as came under my notice
some time ago. Writing out copy. re-
ferring to the Armenian massacres, the

In attempting to capture young pigs
which have escaped from their pen, and
are running at large among the herd OF
perhaps fifty or sixty fuII-grown hogs, it
is necessary to be most circumspect in
your method Of picking up a youngster,
for il once his shrill little squeal of dis
tress is raised you will have the entire
herd down on you at once bristles up,
tusks crashing and fierce. barking war
cry ringing.
Cattle have the same susceptibility to
the cry of frightened calf, especially in
their half-wind condition on the ranges.
To startle suddenly a young calf from its
nest in the long. grass or the sage bush
upon the plains is one of the rlskiest ex-
per4ences that can fall to your lot
Among our bird cousins the response to
this cry is almost equally prompt BY
far the most effective means of bringing
birds about you for the purpose of Gull
tiyating their acquaintance. after you
have settled yourself field glass in hand,
with your back against a tree trunk. is
to place your lips to the back of your
hand in the kissing position and suck in
the air vigorously while keeping them
firmly pressed, this giving rise to half
saueaking, haif-whistling sound that
closely resembles the cry of young
Dlrd IN distress.
1t IS astonishing how quickly this wili
sometimes cause an apparently deserted
thicket to become fairly alive with birds,
all in a state Of anxious excitement.
No self-respecting dog will bite a fe-
male, except in the EXTREMIST need OF self
defense. though the female, as a rule.
has no scruple whatever about furnishing,
to the full extent of her power any inP
dividual Of the opposite sex that happene
to be inferior to her in size or strength.
So strong is this unwilhngness to strike
a female that few male hounds will at
tack a she WOLF or even follow her
trail. Something of the same Difference
to the gentler sex may be seen among
horses. Farm horses. which cannot be
worked alongside of any other horses
on account of their savage tempers. may
be safely yoked IN double harness with
mare.
Mares, on the other hand, will attack
their own or the opposite sex without
the slightest hesitation whenever they
feel disposed" yet I have never seen
serious or retaliatory resistance offered
by the latter.

INHUMAN LAWS.
Against Wives and Mothers Thai

Against wives and Mothers That
Disgrace Statute Books.
New York Journal.
In thirty-seven of these United States a
married mother has no legal right 10 her
children.
In sixteen states a wife has no legal
right to her own earnings outside Of the
home.
In eight states a woman has no right
to her own property after marriage.
In seven states there is no law compel
ling a man to support his own family.
Taking these things to heart, promicent
women of this city have formed the Ma
tional Legislative league. for the purpose
of doing away with them.
We hope they may succeed. If women
who bear children, who nurse them in
sickness, whose existence is bound UP Iii
babyhood, have no right to their babi s.,
who on earth has?
1t seems a strange fact that the remark
able legislators who passed this law In
thirty-seven states were once babies
themselves. Perhaps the curriculum OF
an incubator would have made them think
and act differently
And why should not a wife have right
to her own earnings? What Justice is
there in that law which prevails. i'll six
teen states which allows a recreaut and
drunken husband TO despoi his Wife of
the money she has earned?
Who gave the small atom shaped after
the fashion of Adam the right to Cypress
and bulldoze the small atom shaped after
the fashion of Eve?
No less idiotic Is the law prevailing in
eight states which takes away the right
of a woman to her own property ate"
marriage. Thus the marriage law In these
states may be made the vehicle Of down
right thievery by men who care nothing
for the sanctity of VOW.
Taken as a whole, the women Of the
National Legislative league have mighty
good basis of fact to work on.
