WORRY-AN EVIDENCE OF COWARDCE
By OSCAR HAMMERsTEN. Manager and 1mpresario

" HERE is a marked difference be-
tween the noun worry" and the
j verb Ito worry" Worries mean
disappointments, and to these all
men are heir, but for a man to worry over
these worries is a very different matter
He is now exhibiting weakness He is
not a brave man, but a coward.
He who undertakes anything in this life
must expect to encounter disappointments,
and when these disappointments come he
must not complain either to himself or
to anyone else. but must set about to
extrieate himself as best he may from his
entangiements And TO the seasoned man
the man who is accustomed to disap-
pointments-each one that comes but
hardens him for the next and makes it
the easier to bear the shock and to over
ride the storm wave.
Take an example: I am expecting $1,000
at O'Clock today to meet an obligation
in the morning The money doesn't come,
but the obligation does. What shall I do2
Must I allow myself to be so overcome
with grief that sit down and bewail my
lot and call every passer-by to note my
disaster? No, no.
The great means OF grace today are the
telephone and legs. Give man a stout
pair OF legs and an unoceupied wire and

The Specter of War in China.

The rebellion 81 southern China is not
exciting much attention from the reading
public Yet it may spell fate to the
Manchu dynasty. Instead of being. like
the Boxer movement, anti-foreign, reac-
tionary, and inspired Of that great and
wicked woman, the Empress Tehonala,
the present movement is one which aims
to destroy the royal Manchus and all
their belongings. The leader Of the new
rebellion is Sun Vat Sen, and his primary
field of operations is the neighborhood of
Canton, nearly 2,000 miles from the scene
of the former troubles. Sun Vat Sen was
born in Honolulu and carefully educated
there and in Hongkong. Six years ago he
was suspected by the authorities OF be-
ing implicated in a conspiracy TO GUST the
Manchus. He Immediately fed, going to
England. In London the Chinese ambas-
sador had him kidnapped AID brought to
the Chinese embassy, where he was held
prisoner for some time, his captoT in

and that he had as good a right TO try,

spirator there as In Pekin itself. Through
unofficial influence the British minister
procured Sun Vat Sens release. Now be

step for the English 10 take sides against
Sun Vat Sen, even If he is a rebel against
constituted authority, for in putting MIN

after all Whether as composer, inter
prefer, writer, or perhaps even as lis
tener, woman merits but meager mention
and low rank.
It is very much to be depiored that so
few women have taken up the occupation
of musical composition. It is so con
moods that even the most grabbed be-
lever in woman's sphere could not fEd
fault with her for following it It may be
argued that the reasons for her abstention
from so appropriate a profession are in
the main economic. The composing OF
music can scarcely be depended on as a
means of livelihood, says a writer in the
New York Evening Post" Statistics are
sometimes instructive. 4 recently pub
Iished dictionary of musical biography
contains some 5000 names in all, and only
more than half are singers, 80 are fustru-
mental performers, only 10 of the lot are
writer's, and the remaining So are COM
posers, including under this head any
woman who ever composed at all, though
her chief reputation may have been
gained as a performer
Though the dictionary above referred to
covers about ten centuries OF time, it is
significant that not one of the women
composers antedates the nineteenth cen
fury, and generally the latter half of
that. OF course, not one Of the women
composers mentioned comes within speak

A Paris Industry Threatened.

Very many of the Partisan ragpic.c"rs
will be thrown out of employment by the
contemplated scheme Of the munich ii
council for the collection of the city rub
bish. The chiffoniers, who number about
75, 600, and have a corporation OF their
own, may be depended upon to fight for
their interests, and not to succumb tameIy
TO innovations. In 1892, when the cholera
ragged in Paris, q number of the newly in
vented dust carts, intended to clear the
streets of rubbish quickly. were promptly
smashed by the ragpickers. On that Oc-
casion the authorities yielded to their
violence and reIegated the proposed re-
forms to same future period The chif-
foniers aD now taking steps to have

ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE IDEAL CLJJBWOMAN
By
CYNTHIA MISSIONER ALDEN.

Executive capacity, the logical faculty
OF adapting means to ends, of doing
things, is the crowning glory Of the ideal
clubwoman. without this she may be
prominent. she may be honored, she may
be loved. but she can never reach the
climax Of usefulness. One of the great
educative Influences Of the Nouen's club
is the development IN some measure Of
tact, gcntleness. unselfshness, poise and
executive capacity.
In short. the qualifications which go to
make up the ideal clubwoman are. in a
measure, contrary to those which go to
make up the popular clubman. IN the
former geniaIity. impulsiveness, elastiv-
ity OF temperament. readiness OF wit. are
among the desirable characteristics. In
the place Of the former it would seem
that women should have graciousness and
sweetness Of temperament They cannot
afford to be genial as men understand the
term.
Impulsfveness in man means a freedom
Of action which in women would cores
pond to familiarity Elasticity Of tenn
permanent in the masculine element is in
direct contrast with the training and edu-
cation in the feminine, where a conserva-
tive and digniied demeanor is the sine
qua non in the sex Caustic repartee and
sarcasm between men are countenaneed,
and no i'll feeling engendered, which
would wound woman's naturally more
sensitive nature and perhaps engender
permanent unfriendliness. Fathers,
brothers, and husbands have benefited by
this new development without ever Civ
ing credit to the true responsible agency,

which is making itself so important a fac
