THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.


Many have believed that God actually
pronounced the curse of labor upon not
only Adam. but as we'll upon all who were
to follow him upon the earth Accord
ingly they have looked upon LABOR as real
ly an afilictiop and curse from God. a
necessary evil for the many, a thing to
be despised, hated and Stunned when
possible. Horny hands, toughened mus
Gle sweaty faces they have considered
as marks of infcriority. and their oppo-
site signs Of true and f.vored manhood
and womanhood.
Some think labor curse because Of
their faith in the old Bible story; others
SO regard it because they live only life
., toll and struggle; still others have
this opinion of it because they imagine
that idling is easier and pleasauter than
working
The belief that God doomed all the
race to labor in punishment of Adams
sin DOES not find proof in certain condi-
tons now existing in the world. Many
savages residing in the tropics live with
out labor. The do-nothings in our own
land live likewise.
Whatever may have been the character
of work In Adams time. whether a curse
or a blessing. it remains for Us to remem-
Der that it is the one tans whereby mos'
of us are to improve ourselves. our con-
ditions and those Of the world
The prejudice that labor is degrading
is giving way Work must be done.
Everybody should DO his share. The
share God requires Of an individual is
rot merely a definite mathematical part
Of all the work required for shc subsist-
ence and comfort of the world, but al
that the powers, abilities. capacities Of
that individual can reasonably accom-
nlish

MY LADY B0UNTIFUL
WOMEN DONATE MILLIONS 10 WORK
OF PHILANTHROPY.

First Year of the Century Notable by
Reason of Ricn Bequests to Edu-
cation and Charity-Wealth Law
ishly Scattered.
The first year of the twentieth cen.
fury was marked by bountiful giving
by Americas rich women. Contribu.
tons TO the cause of education, charity
and religion have been SO generous
that the aggregate sum is astounding.
A woman's sympathies are easily
touched by suffering and sorrow, and
she is susceptible to religious influence.
Consequently these objects are more
likely to appeal to her as worthy of
aid than educational institutions. Hos
pitas missions etc, have in the past
been the recipients of woman's gener-
osity, while men have given more at.
tention to founding schools and libra
ries. The past few years, however.
have witnessed tendency in women
to help educational movements, and
this cause has in several notable in
stances been richly endowed.
Only few weeks ago the world was
amazed to learn that Mrs. Jane l..
Stanford, widow of the late Leland
Stanford, had transferred $30,000.000
worth of stocks, bonds and real estate
to the great university founded as
memorial to her son, Leland Stanford.
Jr.
This is the execution of plans made
by Mr.. and Mrs Stanford several
years ago, before the death of the hus-
band but even if this gift is excluded
from the list the records show that
women have given something like $1S,-
100000 during the year. This of itself
is magnificent figure. and with the
Stanford gift added it reaches $4S,-
100000, a golden legacy well calculat-
ed to dazzle the eyes of the world
Mrs. Stanfords gift is believed to be
the largest ever made by man or wo-
man for the benefit of a college. being
considerably more than twice as large
as the munilicent contributions of John
d. Rockefeller to the University of
Chicago.
Another California woman. Mrs.
Phebe A. Hearst, has been generous
giyer to the University of California,
a state institution. 1t is said that she
is carrying out plans that involve an
ultimate expenditure of about $1,000
600 for the benefit of this college, for

held every Tuesday morning at II
o'clock in the White House. Promptly
at that hour the ushers of the eXecu-
tive mansion as confidently expect the
arrival of the ''petticoat cabinet" as it
has been iocularly designated.
The topics to which the ladies devote
their attention are the dates of cabinet
dinners. receptions and other official
functions that there may be no awk-
ward clash in arrangements. The re-
freshments to be served also are deter
mined, and various other details of Of
fetal social life are considered and def
initely decided.

corridor. with the famous vase Win
dow. the space which Mrs. Cleveland
first had furnished as private draw
ing room for the mistress of the White
House and which is supplied each day
with the choicest cut flowers grown in
the executive greenhouses, the meet
ings of the ladies' cabinet take place.
Near the southern side. which is cut
into by tho wide stairway running up
at that portion of the corridor, is a
large round mosaic table. 1t is at this
table that Mrs. Roosevelt presides over
the deliberations of her official family.

which she has already done much.
One of her first donations was $780,
600 for mining building as a memo
rial to her husband.
Besides this work Mrs. Hearst be-
slows her wealth on many other wor-
thy objects. She is supporting eight
perpetual scholarships for girls at the
State University of California. Kin
dergarten work also deeply interests
her. and at times she supports as many
as eighteen such schools, some in
Washington and some in San Francis.
co. The Phebe Hearst School For
Girls. an Episcopal institution founded
at Washington, was the recipient of
bounty in the sum of 100000.
In connection with the subject OF
woman's giving the name of Miss Hell
en- Gould stands prominently forth.
For many years she has devoted her
time and wealth to doing good. Her
beneficence is directed more toward
the relief of suffering and in religious
work than along educational lines She
is supporting several charitable works
and is a generous giver to various
Young Mems Christian associations.
Among the largest gifts of the year
was the donation of $1.000.000 made
Jointly by Mrs. z. d. Armour and J.
Ogden Armour to the Armour institute.
Mrs. Emmons Blaine has also won an
enviable place as a contributor to char
ity and the cause of education. Alto
gether it is estimated that of the $15.-
100000 given to schools during the
first half of last year $6,000,000 came
from women.
Charitable and religious objects have
been enriched during the past by gifts
from women aggregating about &c.,
100000. and about $1,000.060 has been
given to libraries. While it Is impossi-
bic to give in detail the list of minor
gifts or even to approximate them. It
is evident that woman has played a
noble part in the benefactions of the
first year of the new century
