Evolution.

It has been predicted that, as a re-
suit of the pre- eminent position ac-
corded to or seized by woman in
American society, the time will come
when the man will be the weaker yes
sci. Indications of development along
this line might naturally be expected
first from those women who have al
ready gained a. marked tascendancy.
It is super1uous to add that these
leaders are the serving women, 1t be-
ing we'll known that the maid servant
is the boss of every household.
In Chicago yesterday a woman of
this class exhibited "a degree Of scour
age and resourcefulness that has rare
" been assigned to women outside
of melodramas, and that would put
about SO per cent Of the men in an
inferior class. Seized and bound by
a burly negro burglar. she vet found
a way to turn the tables and save the
household from loss. While the burg
lar burgled, this brave 16-year-old
girl dragged herself to the gas stove
and held her wrists over the flames
l
until the binding cords were burned
thru, tho her wrists were painfully
burned, too. Then removing the rest
of her bonds, she did not seek safety
in screaming fight. Not she. Seiz-
ing a formidable butcher knife, she
rushed into the dining-room and as
sailed the burglar with all the fury
of a woman seorned and injured. The
felon had no stomach for a fight with
such woman and sought safety in
a leap thru a window, leaving his
plumber behind. This may have been
discretion on his part rather than lack
of courage, but there is no discount
| ing the girls courage.
Minneapolis can supply an incident
which shows waning masculine cour-
age while female courage wakes 1t
is said that the telephone girls stuck
to their posts the other night while
an adjoining building was burning un-
til aNtinid man, as our staff poet
had 1t,

Imagine all human beings swept off the face OF
the earth excepting one man. Imagine this man

Imagine him on the third or fourth day OF his

Mr.. Larson, clerk Of courts at New

poses to enroll the names of every eligible
young lady and bachelor in Brown county,
with address, age, occupation and financial
standing, references, general appearance,
etc, etc. This record would be kept on
file In his office and would be open to
public inspection, with some restrictions
upon its use, to keep 1t from the eyes of
the merely curious.
The merits of such q record are obvious.
The young lady or gentleman who wished
to get married could go to this book and.
without conf1dfng in anybody but the
trusted clerk of courts. could pick out al,
affinity, in fact, could have a choice of
affintties. The clerk might then bring the
parties together, and. in case of success
full issue, might collect small fee. The
courthouse commissioners will be asked to
set aside a room to be known as the
spooning-room. where candidates may get
acquainted, hold hands. etc. etc. The
plan merits thought.

PIGEON SHOOTING DYING OUT
stiM Permitted in New jersey. but Men
Seem to Find as Much Fun In clay Birds.

Seem to Find o. Much Fun In clay Birds.
When the legislators Of this State made
pigeon shooting illegal many thought
that the gun clubs would 60 out of busi-
ness and that shooting a. q sport would
become unpopular. Instead gun clubs
ANAL town has its club now. and the
snort is more popular than ever.
Sincs pigeons cannot now be put in a
trap and liberated to make a target for
shot, sclay birds" which are really black
disks made of clay and so light that when
thrown into the air the wind will twist
and turn them so that they get something
like the motion Of pigeons fight, are
used to think that no fun could be had
except with live bird are now just as
fascinated with the clay bird game.
Pigeon shooting used to be quite an
expensive sport, and only men with money
could enjoy it. At the Carteret Gun Club,
Westminster Kennel Club, Westchester
Country Club, "Larchmont Yacht Club
and other olube 1t was not uncommon for
a man to shoot at Is or 100 birds in q day,
there were cartridges and sweepstakes
to be added the total reached to a large
sum, especially 1! the shooter did not win.
Now the fun can be had at much smaller
outlay. Tho targets only cost q few cents
each, and in many Of the clubs trophies
are shot for instead Of sweepstakes.
Over in New Jersey pigeon shooting is
still allowed. and the Certeret Gun Club
has moved it's grounds eyer there to Ridge
a week. There are other gun clubs In
New Jersey where live birds are killed
but the mania for killing pigeons u dying
cut.

MUIR GLACIER NOT on VIEW.
II 10 -Four Years since Excursion Steamers
Have Been Able to Reach II.

Tourists to Alaska have been greatly
disappointed in the past four seasons at the
inability OF excursion steamers to approach
the front Of Muir Glacier. Up to the sum
mer OF 1900, excursion boats from Stka
had regularly steamed along the very
front Of this best known and most interest
ing Of American glaciers, and ii was a treat
to view at short range the mighty ice wall
four miles across.
In the summer Of 1900, however, the ice
choked channel OF Muir Inlet prevented
steamers from approaching nearer than
ten miles, and in the three summers since
then, they have been stopped by ice at dis
tances Of from Ave to ten miles
Little OF the glacier can be seen except
through field glass. No one less hardy
than an agile explorer can reach the glacier
and so visitors have to forego the greatest
/ single attraction OF the Alaskan tour.
4 short time after the last excursion
