THE VERY MUCH 0NE-SIDED
AMERICAN MAN AND WOMAN
Mentally and Physically They Get on
Both Sides of the Question.

There is no doubt that we are a "one-
sided race. Mentally and physically we
are one-sided. We get on one side Of
a question and we cling to 1t with bull
dog tenacity. And this is not said in dis
paragement Of the race. The world has
little use for a two-sided man or for a
"straddler'-the man who gets on both
sides OF proposition at once We want
a man TO take one side Of a proposition,
to have a reason for 1t. and TO stand
pat" This Is the mark of individuality
1t was the physical one-sIdedness OF
the race, however, that occupied the at
tention OF President Mrs. Linda r
Wade Of the Western Dressmakers' As
ISOLATION. In her address TO the conven-
ton at the opening session OF the con-
ventiOn in st. Louis. She said:
Not once in five years have I found
a woman among my customers who was
not one-sided in some way. Perhaps it
is one hip that is higher. one arm that
is longer. one shoulder that is more de-
veloped, one side that is longer-there
is always something that is not per-
feet"
What Mrs. Wade says OF women is
equally true OF men. 1t is a rare thing
to find a physically perfect mana man
who is not one-sided all the way
through. This is accounted for by the
fact that not less than 80 per cent of the
human family are right-handed. As d
rule. l. q child shows any tendency to-
ward ambidexterity or toward the use
OF the left hand more than the right, his
parents Immediately take measures to
check It and 10 teach him to use the
right hand for most Of his physical
tasks.
In this way we have become a one
sided race. The right arm Is stronger
and better developed than the left arm.
The same is true of the right hip, the
right shoulder. the right leg. The only
difference between the sexes in this re-
gard IS the greater genius of the woman
for correcting this defect through resort
10 the skillfuI devices of the dress
maker.-Chicago Record Herald.

WANTED TO FOLLOW
HIS WIFE IN DEATH
Burial Reveals Pathetic Story of an
Old Mans Fight With Poverty.

In Cypress Hills Cemetery, in Brook
lyn, yesterday Orning. Mrs. Eliza
Payne was buried, and the simple cere-
mony revealed a story of pathetic de-
votion Of man and wife TO one another
Edward Payne, the husband, feebly
knelt beside the grave and wept bit
terly. As he was led away he said he
would soon rest beside his wife.
Payne is now seventy-four years old
and his wife was sixty-eight Twenty
five years ago he had charge OF the
school in old Gravesend. but gave it
up to open a private school for boys
and girls. He prospered, and Mrs
Payne started department in the
school for preparing girls for college.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Payne noticed
a growth in the side OF his face. and
treated It himself until he discovered
that It was q malignant cancer. Since
that time twenty operations have been
performed. Mrs. Pavne became i'll about
the same time. The school was aban-
doned. and the savings rapidly disap-
peared.
When they were all gone Payne took
his wife 10 a tenement house at 413 Fifth
Avenue. Brooklyn. The consfderate land
lord never asked for rent when he dis
covered tho conditions that existed.
Payne did the homework and earned
little money acting as amanuensis for
business men OF the neighborhood. For
three years the Paynes kept up tins
awful struggle with disease and pow
erty. Two months ago a relative found
them and arranged FOR their removal
10 a sanitarium in Pacific Street. Mrs.
Payne's suffering ended on Wednesday
night, and when the superintendent told
the husband he asked to be led to the
coffin. Standing over it. he said. as

lived with you all these years, could
not hear your last words ! cannot
even see you, now that you are dead.

addresses by Messrs. S. W. Woodward

Thirty years ago Mr.. Riis was tramp
immigrant from Denmark, going from
city to city looking for work. His early
experiences. depicted in the pages of
one OF his recent books, THE Making
of an American" are full of thrilling
interest. After some years of drifting
about, he secured employment of per-
manent character as police reporter on
one of the New York daily papers. I'm
mediately he became interested in the
betterment of conditions among the poor
and criminal classes.
The things that Jacob A. Riis started
TO do twenty-five years ago were to tear
down the crowded tenement houses OF
New York and put in their place small
parks and flower gardens; to see that
sensible tenement house laws were
passed and enforced; to do away with
police station lodging houses; 70 see
that there were enough public schools
for all the children OF New York; TO
establish boys clubs and girls cook
ing and sewing schools.
His only lever when he began was the
pencil he pushed as police reporter on
the New York Sun" But into every
Story he wrote of murder. poverty.

tic Animal


tic Animal.
SACo, Me-, Nov. II. Elbridge Mer-
rili, agent for the s. p. C. A., who dur
ing the past two years has executed 60
cats at Old Orchard, left by summer
residents from all parts of New Eng
land to shift for themselves at the end
of the vacation period, wants to know
if cat is domestic animal.
Cottagers who bring cats to the
beach with them, or adopt them after
they arrive here, invariably return
home and leave the pets to starve.
Dozens of these animals have made
life miserable for the winter residents
during the past few years, and one year
ago last September, in response to COM
plants, Mr.. Merrill began to extermin-
ate the homeless, starving creatures.
That fall he killed 40, and this fall he
has put 20 or more out of their misery.
The question then arose as to whom he
should look for pay. 1t was suggested
that the county would reimburse him
for valuable services rendered in the
capacity of executiOner.
Mr.. Merrill presented his bill to the
county commissioners, and he has just
been informed that it was not allowed,
the excuse being given that a cat is not
domestic animal and therefore the
county could not allow for killing the
cats. &c
Mr.. Merrill has resigned the job OF
killing homeless, starving cats at neigh
boring summer resorts, and started out
to find what cat is if not domestic
animal.
