WHY RUSSIA CANNOT HURT US.

tits not by tariffs, nor by such pro-
hibitive measures as Russia is sus-
pected of being anxious to apply in
the case Of Manchuria, that a nation
achieves the best results in commerce.
Such measures indicate deplorabIe
shortsightedness. This nation is the
most advantageously situated on earth
for competition in the trade of the
Orient, Providence makes no mis-
takes; if it has given us an immense
advantage in this particular, it is safe
to assume that the willy but uneconom-
ic Muscoyite will not be able for any
great length of time to impede our
progress by his devious diplomatic
method and show of armed force.

THE VIEWS OF a SENSIBLE.
WOMAN.

The wild shriekers for woman suf-
frage would do we'll to ponder over
the common sense talk of Miss Joseph
inc Daskham at the dinner of the Pill
grim Mothers IN Boston last week. 1t
appears that Miss Daskham shocked
the strenuous assemblage of women
when she said:
s'If you cannot in this generation
get your vote, you always can get
your voter. Women have always in
fuenced man, and l don't see but
what that's just as good. l think
there is a great deal of unnecessary
twaddle these days about the increas-
ing strenuousness of the young girl.
don't think she has changed so much.
She has no more mind. She may use
her mind q little differently, but it's
the same old mind, the same energy
that she uses. There are two things
which women must always have had
since the creation to be successful,
and those two things are the same II
the far off Islands in the Pacific and
in the high school in Massachusetts
A woman to be successful must be
good and she must be charming
There may be something interesting
in the bad woman, but she can't per
petuate nations, and after all that was
the main purpose of our creation,
think. If a woman is good and moth
ing else, she will be as dull as any
thing the world ever made, but if sht
can be goog and charming her herl
tage and posterity can ask absolutel,
nothing better.
It is safe to say that had such
speech as that been delivered in tn
recent Constitutional Convention o
New Hampshire that body would hav
inserted in the organic law of tn
State the clause giving suffrage t
women. In her address Miss Daskhar
sets forth all the loyable qualities G
woman and frowns upon the ney
spheres of influence proposed for he
sex. Miss Daskham, however, did nc
spurn the making of laws that woul
protect women in their domestic an,
property rights, but she firmly oppos
ed any departure from the old concel
tions and the consecrated notions tia
win man.

General Clement A. Evans, presl-

has received telegram from J. Tay-
lor Ellison, of Richmond, Va, which
announces that the Battle Abbey of
the South is an assured fact, says the
Constitution. This statement will be
read with pleasure by people through
out the South, especially veterans of
the civil war and their relatives. The
work of securing funds for the Abbey
has been in progress a number of
years and those who are at the head of
the organization have given a great
amount of time and energy to the
work.

A harvest-machinery plant at Chica-

a period of poor business made the
action advisable. In the Eastern part
of the country the poor demand for
cotton goods and the high price of the
raw material render dubious the pros
poets of those employees who are fight

perhaps get valuable new ideas.

Ten policemen found out how 1t seems

from their sleep they found the house

fifteen young women who occupy rooms
In the boarding-house.
The house was a four-story struc-
u leased by John p. Burns. 1t is
close to the Madison street station
house. and the greater part of the
single policemen lived there. There
were also many women who work in
the vicinity.
The ten policemen, asleep in their
rooms, were aroused by the cries of the
man who had discovered the blaze. Their
FIRST thought was OF the many young
women in the house. They found most
Of them huddled together in the halls
wrapped in blankets and helped them
safely into the street.
No one had time to dress. and the

it. No doll so large and
handsome had ever been sold
at that price. The smartest
competition, in the effort to
equal it, had a 21-inch doll
made with all A. M. head,
which is much cheaper than
the s & ii heads that we put
on our 21H-inch Dolls. Many
people wouldn't notice the
difference.
A. M. heads are good, how

doll should be sold for a dol
