DECRIEs SOCIETY GIRL.
Professor Clark Of NorthwssteFn
Says she 10 Parasite to Ne
Avoided.

Prof. J. Scott Clark, speaking to
his class in English literature at
Northwestern university the other
day. said the merits Of present day
women in no way equaled those OF
the women Of the day OF his mother
and grandmother. His comment was
directed against the society girl.
''The society girl Is . parasite"
said Prof. Clark. "She lives on her
father, and in return she gives him
nothing. She is Of mo- benefit to the
world, and there is no need of. our
keeping such weight with u.s.
Continuing, he told OF the failures
which society womer make as man
ayers Of q household, and said they
were unable to fill the domestic re-
quirements necessary to make the
home an abode of comfort. "They
toll not, neither do they spin, yet
Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these" quoted the
professor, and he continued:
''The young man who seeks so-
ciety girl for wife is on the wrong
track. May God help him that mar
ries one of them, for he is tying a
| milestone around his neck.t
A report in a Chicago newspaper
that Prof. Clark had advised students
not to marry college bred women was
| repudiated by the professor as alb
surd and false. He has goods" in his
| classes and has no such low opinion
| of them as was indicated by the err
| roneous quotation from him.

LUNATIcS MAKE A RECORD.
Inmates of an Insane Asylum Com
struct . Railway Line-The
First Institution.

In the Willard state hospital for
the insane in Seneca county, n. u,
the insane inmates make their own
clothing and shoes, manufacture
brooms and tinware and perform
much of the ordinary labor of the
institution. They work the farm of
1,2O0 acres which is connected with
the institution and raise all the food
necessary for the hundreds of pa
tients there, besides putting up
enough canned fruit to supply all the
other state institutions. But the
greatest work performed by the pa
tients at Willard was the building OF
the railroad which connects it with
the Lehigh Valley road, six miles dis
tant. says a New York exchange.
Nearly all of the actual work in the
building of this railroad was done by
the lunatics, and done well. This
idea of giving to the inmates of the
institution steady work, and as much
of it as possible out of doors, has
had beneficial effect upon them.
In the Pennsylvania hospital for
insane the inmates do some cred
table work in modelling clay. pro-
dncing pottery and busts of really
good workmanship and artistic de-
sign. In Great Britain and some 9TH
er European countries system OF
reasonable work for the inmates OF
insane asylums has been introduced
with excellent results. The first in.
stitution for the treatment of insan.
| ity as a disease was established in
this country through the efforts oi
Benjamin Franklin in 1851. England
had no such institution until41 years
later. and France followed 43 years
/ later. Great changes have been made
in the treatment of the insane in the
last 50 years. Half a century ago II
per cent. of the patients were under
physical restraint. Now it is said
! that there are only about one pei
cent. so restrained.

Coffee and Biscuit. In Cuba.

An eastern man who has just re-
turned from Cuba was impressed by
two things during his stay in Havana
the strength of the coffee that is
served and the vast quantities of soda
biscuits of American manufacture
consumed by the natives. "It took
me some time to get accustomed to
the coffee" he said. "At first / used
to water it, but gradually fell into
the Cubans' way Of drinking it and
learned to like the strong aromatic
flavor. Our own coffee now tastes
weak and insipid to me. The poorer
classes of Cubans will make meal
from coffee and soda biscuits" Chi

 E. Brewer 6 Go.
 The grocery firm of E. Brewer & Go. has been located in Woodlawn for some years. MT. Brewer. the head of this pop ular store, came to the place over five years ago. and since that time has won many friends and made a success of his business. In addition to having per fectly equipped grocery store, he car ries full line of all house furnishing goods, in the way of orockery, glassware, tinware, Delph granite ware and toilet sets. In this last named line MT. Brewers stock is equal in beauty and variety to any of Birminghams stores. For the din- ing room he has everything from tum- blers to beautiful sets for the table. There is also a well equipped hardware department, and in this is included blows, gardening implements, hatchets, and all articles which come under the head of hardware.
 The groceries carried are all fresh stock and MT Brewer has made point of good service, thorough satisfaction and courteous treatment.
 He is assisted in his work by several of Woodlawn's brightest young men, and it is a pleasure to order goods in place where the stock is thoroughly arranged The store is a large, clean and well light ed establishment, and the displays made of goods arc very effective. For instance, In the crockery department everything is arranged on the same principal as an up to date crockery store would have them. Beautiful sets of dishes are artis- tically placed and shown to the best ad- vantage. The glassware is sparkling and forms a pretty contrast to the china Then to the toilet sets, and they are truly beautiful. one set especially of Co., bait blue is the perfection of beauty in toilet sets. Then to the tinware sets which are displayed back of the others and on to the Delph granite ware. new ware which has proven so very popular, and even to the smallest detail of kitchen furnishings. Tinware of every size, sort and description, to suit the most exact ing of housewifely hearts.
 Vases and ornaments in various wares are also displayeN and MT. Brewer has a very handsome department in this par ticular line. In every respect the estab- lishment is up to the standard and would do credit to any city. 1E
 MT. Brewer has made success by de- serving it. and his personal, aside from his business popularity, fully attests to the fact that he is clever gentleman.

UNIQUE TALES
About Montana's Dying King of the
 High Rollers.

Suffering from a cancer that Is gradu- ally gnawing its way toward a vital spot, Jesse Edwards is whiling away his last hours on earth at his residence, in South Great Falls, comforted by solici- tous and everything wife, says a Great Falls (Mont.) correspondent of the Gin cinnati Enquirer.
 Edwards is one of the oldest pioneers of Montana having entered it's confines in 1862 or before the discovery of gold. He was GA years old and a native of Illi- noiS, but came West when mere boy. For many years he prospected and mined in the vicinity of Helena, and was one of the first settlers of Diamond City.
 But it was not as a minor and prospect or that Edwards achieved a wide noto- riety. For the past twenty years he has been a professional gambler, and from the fact that he has five fingers and a thumb on each hand he was nicknamed Six Fingered Jess" As a gambler he differed from the ordinary run, in that his games had no limit whatsoever. He has been known to double the price of chips in order to accommodate high rollers" who had them stacked so high that to add any more would cause them to topple over
 An accident in poker game at Dia- mond City is worth repeating. Edwards had been losing steadily until he was down to his last $5 worth of chips. Push ing them over to the keeper he received a $5 bill, his only earthly possession. De- liberately taking a match from his pock- ct he ignited the piece of paper with the remark "D-n you, you won't win that" and permitted it to be consumed by the flame.
 He then started for the foothills and began prospecting and was soon on Easy street" again as fortunes were then rap idly acquired at gold mining
 Edwards had also the reputation of be- ing the most profane man in the Rocky mountain section, but with the abandon ment of the gambling habit he also dis carded profanity. To illustrate: Ed wards, as the result of poker game, came into possession of a restaurant, which, among other paraphernalia, pos sessed a lady cashier.
 A boisterous customer made complaint to her about some portion of his meal and accompanied his remarks with sever al oaths The young lady reproached Ed wards for permitting the use of such lan- guage in her presence, and he felt called upon to take the complainant to task. It was, however, a case of jumping from the frying pan into the fire as far as the cashier was concerned. as Edwards iS telling the customer what he thought of his conduct gave expression to string of profanity seldom equalled in Montana, and was at a loss to understand why the cashier had made such nasty exit after he had come to her rescue. Upon having the maj 2 explained to him, he present. ed the rant to the young lady as a tokeff~cF but it is said that he concluded his speech in a manner something like this: T don't want the d-d restaurant anyway

Mir Felix Wood, the gallant and gen. ial City Clerk of Woodlawn, was born at Oak Grove in the year 1862 and re- ceived his education in various schools. finally finishing at Howard College, East Lake. He begun his career by engaging in the coal and lumber business, but left this to enlist in Company A, First Ala bama Regiment. Prior to this time he had been a member of the National Guard While in the army MT. Wood was oanteen officer, and during the time he served he conducted his office on a clean, straight basis, saving a great deal of money for the government as well as the hospital and other funds. He served in this capacity at Miami and other points. Upon his return to Woodlawn MT. Wood engaged in the drug business, and es- tablished an up to date place under the firm name of Felix Wood Company. He has made a success in this, as he has in all business undertakings. He was elected to the office of City Clerk in 1889 without opposition and reelected in 1901 on the same basis. While he takes an active interest in politics it is, as a rule, mostly for the benefit of his friends. He has served the city faithfully in the dis charge of his public duties, and has made splendid record as his reelection without opposition will clearly demon strate He numbers his friends by the score, and while a young man, has made an advancement of which he can justly be proud.
