Men, Women
:. and Things

| Men neeQ not tnlnk they can De al
| lowed to remain old bachelors with i'm
punity. The dressmakers have taken
| up the question of matrimony and
| chronic bachelors might as we'll make
! up their minds to submit to the in
| evitabfe-, They propose to make wom-
| en- SO charming and irresistible that
| there will not be one unattached man
| left in the world, and the way they
| propose to go about it shows that they
| know their business. One of the lead
! ing lights at the recent dreSSmakerS'
convention, where this subject was dis
| cussed, said that much twaddle has
! been talked by President Roosevelt and
| others about the duty of marriage,
| but for her part she did not believe
| that men could be made decent by act
| of congress. Pretty good for a dress
maker Ell? She follows this dictum by
| the highly original statement that men
7 generally do as they please. The only
| way to catch them is by planning
tsubtle campaign in which beautifully
| gowned figures and we'll groomed COM
! pleXions are factors. Men don't marry
| because it is their duty, is the sum and
! substance of the dresSmaker'S remarks.
! But let them be surrounded by feminine
| beauty with straight fronts and sleeves
| that have been properly adjusted-not
/ to speak of box-pfaits and tucks in
proper position-and let it do the bust
ness for them. The hope of the next
| generation is in the dressmakerS OF to-
day. Let the president guess again.
Anti Injury Illustration.
/ There is a man somewhere whose
J. growth is so slow that physicians pre-
! dict that he will live 800 years. At the
age of twenty-five he has attained the
| mental and physical growth of child
| of eight. He is not backward nor alb
normal, but is simply taking his time.
| Now the doctors may say what they
/ will and the unbelfeVer may Scon, put
we are convinced that the young man
| in question is sent as rebuke to the
| hurry and strenuosity of the time. 1t
| is to show us what we could be If we
| did not live so fast. 1t is quite Devil
| dering to think of what that young man
| may see before he dies. The POSSIBLE
| ties in the wireless line alone are end
! less. Think of the breakfast foods, the
| trusts and other things that he Will
| see rise and fall. Think of the Wander
| bilt marriages he can read about. He
| is indeed horrible example, and is
| doubtless intended to show us what we
might be if we did not hurry through
! life at a break neck speed. And this
reminds us of what wonderful things
we would see in ST. Paul if we live to
! the age of the boy wonder. In 300
! years we might have Scent fares;
| Summit avenue would be paved with
| something, no one knows just what; a
| library building will probably at least
| be under way, and who knows but
| what Rice park may be adorned with a
| statue of Dr. Ohage rampant, and at
| his feet, couchant, several ants, which
| by that time will be the city's coat-of-
! arms. Oh, to be slow growing and see
| these great things!
| Reward Comes to One Worthy.
| 1t is not often that the literary man
! is rewarded during his lifetime; more
| often does he become the object Of
! ost-mortem eulogy and appreciation.
| Therefore all the brighter shines the
| greatness of Mr.. Hobart Chatfield
| Characterization when it becomes
known that a small town not far from
| Chicago is to be renamed in his honor
Mr.. Chatfield Chatfield-Taylor is the
writer of several very correct books,
| in which there is no mention of any
| one outside the ranks of the socially
! elect. This is, of course, enough to
| give him place. but it comes with a
! shock to us to learn that it is because
the Chicago litteratuer owns so much
| property in the vicinity of the burg
| in question that its name is to be
| changed. This merely puts off the
fame which will come to him when his
| books have been digested by the pub
| lie, for it will surely come; time and
Sweet books, and when anything
| sweet comes out of Chicago it Is
| worthy of note.

Everyone is wondering how the
| American people can show its appre-
! citation Of 1.-The release of Mrs. May
| brick when that suspicious event real
| ly comes off. 1t is said that everything
! comes to him who waits. so that if we
! bide our time in patience the day will
| inevitably arrive when Mrs. Maybrick
| will come to her own. There is only
| one thing we can think of that would
! properly celebrate this great day. and
| that would be to send Richard Hard
| ing Davis to meet her and escort her
| here, and ask him to send wireless
| messages constantly from mid-London
| and Mfdocean and -Noboken, until
| she is safely landed once more "in our
| midst" 1t is we'll known that when
| we want anything properly described
| we send Richard Harding, so we think
| the time has come for the Mrs May
brick get-rich- quick committee to take
| action, and this suggestion won't cost
| them a cent.
In New York there is an academy of
| crime where those of tender years are
| given lessons in the most up-to-date
| business methods. To the graduates
| is given a certificate and the advice.

In London pious persons give up
! riding in hanson cabs during Lent.
| The English ideas of penance are pc

The legislature finished it's session
| with the singing of the hymn, "Blest
| Be the Tighe That Binds"
|
| The laundries of the city are going
| to merge. Where is the district court ?

The old maids have formed a coali-
! ton against matrimony. 1t is to be
| hoped that no one will tell the presi-
| dent this and spoil his vacation.
