NOMAN'S CLUB INFLUENCE,
Organiser of Clubs Says They Don't
Educate Her Sex.

Organiser of Clubs Says They Don't
Educate Her Sex.
The education of woman by the club
method to prepare her to assume a
higher and more responsible place in
the worlds affairs has been declared
by one of the most prominent club
women in Colorado to be fat failure.
Mrs. Sophia Lovejoy Dickinson, who
has probably done as much as any one
woman inorganizing clubs, in an inter
view at Denver said:
"Such women as Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton little
dreamed Of the extent of the club
movement which would follow their
work. Their suggestion was not new
sphere for women, but broader out
look, better education, till she was
competent to take her share of the
worlds work. They would see woman
develop in all life's relationship self,
home, social and civic relation.
"As a class women are conserva-
tives They closely follow race. in
heritance. What they feel is expected
of them they do. The world expects
them to be honest, therefore they do
not steal large amounts nor forge sig
natures. The world expects them to
be virtuous, and some are. Whether
they are equally moral may well be
questioned. Their idea of truth is of
ten very feminine, and their growing
tendency to kleptomania is alarming.
The world has not demanded much be-
yond the self and home relation, and
only narrow view of these.
THE average woman's club is too
indefinite, too anxious to please men,

A Thrifty Kannas Woman.

Marie Morrison, a milliner of Joplin.
Mo-, received notice the other day
that she had fallen heir to $4,000 by
the death of her grandfather in Ger
many. She is thrifty and sensible
little woman, however, and did not
throw up her job as soon as the news
came, says the Kansas City Journal
Instead she said: "Were the amount
twice as much | would still continue
my work. for love it and have made
my own living so long that would
feel entirely lost without employment

many later on"

PRIZES FOR PUMPKIN PIES.
4 Difficult Question Decided at a
Missouri Pumpkin show.

II there is anything in the cooking Of
which the Missouri farmers wife ex-
GELS, 1t is pumpkin pies, says the Kan
sas City Journal. An incident at the
Skidmore ''punkin show" recently In
dicates that the oncoming generation
of farmers wives will be fully equal
to their mothers in this important par
ticular. w. ]. Skidmore Skidmore's
leading citizen, offered prize to the
country maiden who should make the
best pumpkin pie, he to be the judge.
Six pies were exhibited. When Mr..
Skidmore took a bite of the first. he
mentally decided that it would take
the prize. When he bit the second. he
decided the prize would have to be
halved. When he bit the third, he con-
cluded the prize would have to be di.
vided into three parts.
The upshot was that Mr. Skidmore
was not able to make a selection. In
stead, however, of dividing the prize
into six parts, he ruled that each was
30 good as to deserve prize, and so
he gave six prizes instead of one. Even
the New England mince pie has to go
way back and sit down when the Mis-
souri, pumpkin pie marches upon the

Winning of a Marlborough Check

The persistence of some painters is
proved by a story that is going the
rounds of the London studios, says the
New York Press. A young artist, poor
and unknown, boosted in a crowd Of
his fellows that he would paint the
portrait Of one Of the twelve leading
women In London within year. There
were many takers Of the bet. The art
list took the next train for Blenheim
palace, where the young Duchess of
Marlborough was staying. Note after
note was sent to her. but the artist re-
ceived no reply. One day he bribed the
gardener with a couple of shillings to
let him enter by hedge. When he was
in the garden the former Miss Wander
bilt appeared. He jumped from behind
a lilac bush, said he was struggling
and poor and begged permission to
paint her portrait. The duchess laughed
and said she could not spare the time
for posing. Then she added that if he
left some finished work with her agent
in London she would leave a check. 1t
is said Of the persistent youth that If
he did not paint the Marlborough por-
trait he at least received a Marlbor-
ough check.

Judging from the number of wives
complaints and confessions published
every week in the Scotsman, golfers
must be ranked among the most neg

BILE dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Golf. the writers assert, has
paralyzed the enterprise and energy of
many breadwinners. The time former

ionship Of wife and family is spent
now, 1t is declared, on the links. His
conversation Is confined to mere club
room gossip. He has no interest in lit

and magazines. The neglected wives
complain bitterly that they have sunk
to the level Of mere housekeepers since

Alleged Methods of Japanese Spies.

Some of the best work done by Jap
anese spies has been done by pretended
converts TO the Greek church, says
Frapcis McCullagh, the Tokyo CORE
spondent Of the Chicago News. These
converts were always to be found por.
ing over their japanese Bibles. the
margins of which were covered with
annotations in some form or other OF
japanese script. Their piety and dill
gence were much admired by the local
pope until q Russian who could read
japanese and who did not believe in
converts came along and discovered
that the marginal notes In one OF these
Bibles were all important items Of mil
itary information that could not have
been obtained honestly.

WAVES GAVE UP DIAMOND.
Property of Atlantic City Physician
Recovered ut Pennsgrove, n. j.

DR.. John NJ. Summerill of Penns-
grove, on the New Jersey coast, while
walking along the shore the other
morning, found necktie in which was
a diamond pin. The tie and pin be-
longed to DR.. Albert d. Cuskaden of
Atlantic City.
On Sunday, Oct. IS, while the wind
was blowing very hard, both doors of
the pilot house on the launch Widgeon,
Dr. Cuskaden's boat were blown open
and the wind carried out the tie. which
was hanging in the pilot house. When
the boat reached New Castle, DR.. Gus
kaden wired back that he had lost the
pin and offered a reward.
Since that time the shore had been
crowded at low water by people search
ing for the gem, but it had eluded the
eyes Of all until DR.. Summerill spied It
among lot Of weeds and grass.

dent purpose of the big coal operators
to curtail the production and thus pre-
vent such an oversupply as would re

This general curtailment is possible
because the principal collieries are op

When stocks Will Boom Again.

When every short" has covered"
And every lambs we'll done;
When every cloud that lowered
Is banished by the sun;
When things are not "congested,"
And each crop killers dead;
When nothing'S "undigested,"
The last false rumor spread;
When every hostile raider
Has taken to his hole,
And every short side trader
Has climbed the nearest pole;
When every strike is settled,
And Joseph" gets his crown,
No more will we be nettled
With good stocks going down.
When all the wheats transported.
And all the crops are moved"
When all the COLDS exported
And all false tales disproved;
When every bear" is banished
Into some desert grim,
And each canard has vanished
In darkness after him:
When every loan Is foated,
When every bond is sold,
And every scheme promoted
Turns out as good as gold;
When stocks have reached a level
From which they cannot fall.
And prophecies of evil
Are turned toward the wall:
When every corners busted
And bank reserves are high,
The public" now disguised,
Come rushing in to buy
Then In that glorious season
Don't wake us from our trance)
We think we see no reason
why stocks should not advance.

A FAMOUS SALVATIoNIsT.
The Influence Of Mrs. Booth-Tueker's
Pleading. ON Young Huffian.

When she was a child the late Mrs
Emma Booth Tucker, wife Of the com
mander OF the Salvation Army in the
United States, was inspired with an
intense hatred Of cruelty.
One DAY when she was thirteen she
was out for the usual walk with the
governess In her fathers family. Eng
land, when donkey cart drove past,
and the sensitive girl noticed the boy
belaboring the donkey with suck.
She called out TO him 10 deslst, but he
only laughed and hit the harder, says
the Chicago Tribune.
Snatching herself away from the
governess, Emma ran after the cart,
and after Il long chase at length over
took it and caught the reins. The boy
leaped down and tried TO pull the don
key away, but he had met his match.
Snatching the stick from his hand, she
showered blows upon his head and
shoulders, saying:
There. now. How do you like it?'
The boy could have oyerpowered her
easily, but her tears and pleadings
proved more powerful than her blows.
He surrendered Internationally. and,
kneeling at her request beside the don
key in the dusty road, he prayed for
giveness for his cruel act. AS they
arose the conquered ruffian apologized
for having taken her so far out of her
way, and seated beside him Emma
road in triumph back TO her home.
Some remarkable stories have been
told from time to time concerning Mrs,
Booth-Tucker's kindliness and generos'
ity and her ceaseless endeavors to re-
lieve distress wherever she found It
1t is related that even when mere
child she seemed to feel deep respon'
! sibility for the condition of other chill
dren less fortunate than herself and
sought to aid them in her youthful
| way.
