A recent number of the Boer news
paper, Ons Land, contains an article
describing the experiences of a Boer
who went to German Southwest AT
RIGA in 1901 to settle there. The moral
condition of the country, he writes,
is serious. Most of the Germans have
negro wives. To find a German In
the country districts, he says, with a
white wife is a rarity. At a baptism
of the child of a German father and
negro mother, which he attended at
Rehoboth, two German officers were
present with their negro wives. Com
pulsory service is equally applicable
to whites and blacks, and both serve
in the ranks together. He concludes:
For my part, eighteen months ex-
%perience has brought me to the con-
clusion that it is better to be a slave
under the English government than a
free man in German Southwest AZ

common sight, and is almost always due TO

1t is worse than foolish for so many

Peruna cures catarrh permanently. II

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or
gans with the same surety as IT cures
catarrh of the head. Peruna has be-
come renowned as a positive cure or
female ailments, simply because the all

T--""-- "- T- r--"n"V- u VUtn WHO mHc -0S or
musicians. o. painters and OF players, give some color to the allegation. But
we believe ii is a surfaceIking rather than anything deepseated. You Ia
run over the various qualities which belong to the poor male sex and yu will
find some women liking IN OF these all the kind and many liking each of
them at different times But when all is said yu will find that the one
great quality which women demand of men is courage. This is the thing
which is chiefly supposed TO mark Off men a a sex This is the thing which
is supposed to keep them always at the front We do rot deny courage to
omen- great many of them have it-but W e expect more of it from a man
and women. I. least seldom pardon its absence. 1t is probable that as q sur
vNal If a more truculent age the sort Of courage a woman most demands is
physical And here she is not altogether wrong; but with new methods
of living have con new ideals, and it would be worth while if women were to
set high stakes in the matter Of moral courage for the sex over which they
have 81 much influence. 1t will be well if they demand that a mar shall al
ways be true enough to live up to his best ideas-that he do not prostitute
himself for money or for place. They should not think it enough if he refuse
to u from a enemy, but should require also that he do not shrk his duties
rs a citizen, and that he be ready to sacrifice himself or ONE of the profits
of his business for good cause in the community. Fear does not show itself
80 openly nowadays as it onced did. 1t turks in quiet corners, it goes in strange
dsguses None the less it is fear; none the less men should be ashamed Of
its company, and women should applaud the courage which at any time refuses
to associate with it-Harpers Bazaar.

What Women Like In Men
BY Lillian Bell

HAT quality do women like best in n man? is a question often
discussed. Occasionally one finds women who are all for
braininess. and doubtless there are a few who really like
intellect in a man; but for the majority it would be thrown
out quickly enough in n pinch. There are others. and these
are. mostly men, who say that a woman likes the artistic
temperament: and the instances of women who make gods of

WANT TO GET
SOLDIER FREE

Efforts are being made to influence
the local authorities to withdraw the
prosecution against the three soldiers
under arrest for robbing Chief Justice
Frear's Tantalus home. The efforts
are directed more particularly to secur-
ing the freedom of Carlton, who is said
to be the son of a prominent Eastern
jurist. The military authorities are in
teresting themselves in the matter and
visits were paid yesterday to both Gov
ernor Dole and Chief Justice Frear in
the hope of securing leniency.
Carlton was arrested the other night
again because of an alleged attempt on
his part to leave the country. He is
said to have tried to buy ticket at a
local steamship agency, and later at
tempted to stowaway on the Aorangl.
His bond has been increased to SOU
which has been given and an effort Is
being made also to have the trial go
over for the term.

AND
INCOME TAX
Caucus Talks Only
About Two
Topics.
Its Meeting Held Last
Night Was
Formal.
Big Time viii Come at the
Joint Meeting Next
Saturday.

There was but small attendance at
publican caucus of members of the
Legislature and the Executive Com
mittee of the Central Committee, and
the discussion of the county govern
ment bill took desultory shape for the
most part. AS a matter of fact, the
caucus is waiting now for the committee
reports and for the meeting with the
representatives of the Chamber of Com
merce and of the Merchants Associa-
ton on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
At last nights meeting the talk, for
the most part, was as to the license
provisions of the county bill, and the
income tax. Mr.. Harris took the stand
that had been taken by the merchants
at their meeting in the afternoon, that
there should be no license for merchan-
dising, save in the cases of certain spe-
cial lines requiring inspection and po-
lice protection. Mr.. Achi and Mr.. AN
drade differed from this view, and
notice was given of an amendment for
graded license. and for a fiat license
of 500 a year, offered confessedly to
make the small Chinese and japanese
stores contribute a share toward the
expenses of government. 1t was
thought that this license would be so
small that the large merchants would
not object to it, No action was taken,
of course, beyond giving notice of the
proposed amendments. The county bill
has not reached the stage of accepted
amendments, as yet.
In the matter of the income tax, Mr..
Achi proposed to take off the exemption
clause altogether. If there was income
tax at all, he argued, it should be a
general tax This met with decided OPP
position, but the amendment was offer
ed, nevertheless. Another proposition
was to make the exemption $1,000 for
the individual, and $500 in addition for
each member of a mans family. This
would be, in effect, a tax on bachelors,
but Mr.. McCandless argued that it was
fair proposition in favor of the man
who was raising a family.
The meeting adjourned at an early
