BEAUTY OF WOMEN.
Outdoor Exercise Proper Way to De
velop the Ideal Figure.

Chicago, April 1S.-Golf links, the
gymnasium and outdoor exercise are
calculated to make womanhood the di-
vine outwrought Ideal of perfect beau
ty, said the Rev. Henry Irving Rasmus,
OF the South Park Avenue Methodist
church in a public lecture on women
1.-The first woman is presented to US
as Gods ideal of a perfect woman
hood continued the preacher. We
stand thunderstruck before Titian's
Venus and Powers Greek Slave. but
how supremely beautiful must have
been Gods ideal of what woman should
be.
1T was well for us to take a mo-
ments time and consider whether the
methods of human and especially mod
ern society have made any improve
ments on that divine idea 1 should
certainly hesitate in saying that the
fashion plates of yesterday and today
would indicate any advantage
If the woman cut in two in the mid
die like wasp, or striding down the
street with the gait of a man, is the
true conception, then the Almighty in
His view is out of date The desire for
beauty of physical form is Cod given,
but the blunder is in human methods to
attain it.
Ideally first, positionally first, this
mother of all living stands influential
" first The power of her influence is
God intended that woman should exeIe
a powerful influence on human affairs
She should be first in her inhuenc = of
pity and sympathy.
..The world has climbed to goodness
and security on the shoulders of wom-
ans tenderness. What would some of
you have been if some tender-hearted
woman had not had pity on you and
married YOU? You better hasten to
thank heaven for a woman's sympathy.
.She should be first in the influence
of her purity. This instinct of man
which clothes woman with reverence
and makes her the ideal of virtue con-
fers on her an awful power. According
as the ideal is high so the shock of dis
appointment is great when the ideal IS
shattered
Therefore let womanhood be first to
meet the sins and evils of human soci-
ETY. and it will not be far in the future
when the beauty and happiness of Eden
shall once again be humanity's hertz
age"

BICYCLE THIEVES BUSY.

Gang in Topeka.

The ever present bicycle thief is busy
again. During the last three or -four.
weeks bicycles have been vanishing. one

that has precluded all discovery. The
police have been unable to locate the
missing wheels in any Of the second

disposed of in some other city The
theft of bicycles has always been a
rather common occurrence but of late
the depredations have come with a
