FEW WOMEN sTAMMER.
Reason why Such In the Case-Less
SeIf-Conscious Than Men.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
Have you ever known a woman that stam-
mered?
The fact that the proportion of those az
hicted with stammering or suffering Is one
hundred men to one woman is one OF the
most curious things In the science of path
ology. Even the specialists in nervous dis
eases seem utterly at loss to account for
it. So eminent an authority as DIR. George
ord, says that in ali his experience he has
known of only one woman that stammered.
Asked how he accounted for the immunity
of the fair sex from this affiiction, he re-
piled:
1T certainly is strange thing. stam-
mering is an epileptic affection of the or
gans OF speech, and the victim Is usually a
ment. At the last analysis the cause lies
In the mind-thgt is. the stammerer stam-
mers because he fears he will stammer. and
| thus make himself ridiculous. Now. women
| are much more prone than men 10 nervous
| disorders. and this makes their immunity
from stammering all the more remarkable
| For some mysterious reason their nervous
ness affects their organs OF speech only In
| the rarest of instances
~ mere man, in discussing woman's i'm
munity from stammering, was ungallant
enough TO suggest that any interference
| with her ability TO talk would be cruel and
| unusual punishment within the meaning OF
the constitution of the United States and.
| therefore a punishment never to be inflicted
1 by a beneficent providence.
The theory also has been advanced that
| women are less self-conscious thar men,
/ for IL is asserted that self-consciousness is
the basis OF the confusion OF the stammerer.
/ When the attention of lifelong a,ufferer
from hating articulation was called 10 DIR.
| Shrady's statement that the stammerer
stsmmers through fear OF stammering he
replied.
"That IS IL exactly. One OF my earliest
| recollections Is of being laughed at by two
of my aunts when l got badly twisted in
/ trying TO make remark. Ever since then
| che fear OF staSnmering has haunted me "a
i % greater or less degree. Now, IL has been
| my experience that women SELDOM su der
| from self-consciousness TO this extent. / do
not mean TO say that all women are totally
void Of self-coLsciousness | have known
| girls who were victims OF the blushing
| habit. and. as my kindred affiiction enabled
| me TO speak TO them about IL. l discovered
| that they blushed for the same reason that
I stammered-fcar OF doing So"

FRISCO NAN FLAYS
MUNROE AND SHARKEY

SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 25--"Tom" Shar-
key is matched with Jack Munroe, but
the conditions of the match bar any OF the
San Francisco clubs from bidding for the

"Alex" Greggains: He says he wants nope

Earp handed Sharkey a decision over Fitz-
simmons 1t was the rawest kind of a steal.
But Sharkey evidently has grown more
scrupulous, and he perhaps believes that he
reason refuses to fight here. But where will
he and Munroe come together If it isn't in
this city? And that would, perhaps be as
long as any one would care TO look at pair
