doing himself further injuries. The old
veteran was a terrible sight his head

Are women better than men? This
is a question that E. S. Martin asks
and answers in an article entitled,
women 10 McClure's Magazine for
June. No better, only different; or il
better, merely in a negative fashion.
They drink less, smoke less and certain
of their emotions are less strong than
corresponding emotions Ia men. Wo-
men are what men make them, and
while men are still %appreciably far
from perfection, why, women will
be still a little short of the angels
they are sometimes represented, and,
what is worse, expected to be.
