Men, Women
and Things

u dClOH Is becoming exceedingly moral.
Indeed it is hard to realize how very
righteous Gotham is under the reign
OF man mfsnamed Low. One of the
recent happenings in that city which
SHOWS now very moral and upright is
the tone of the place relates to the &C
ton of a police judge, who sentenced
two women to ten months imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for using inn
proper language on the street. This at
once shows the high state of morals
ana the tender state of the public con-
science. To those who might caVil be-
cause the culprits were women, we
can only reply that it is a we'll known
fact that improper language is the sole
prerogauVe Of men. Everyone eX-
poets them to indulge in profanity and
language not becoming, therefore it
would not do to make 1t penal Of
tense, as it might result in sequester-
ing the entire male population and in
terfere with business. But with wom-
en- 1t is another thing, and much
worse one. The judge who sentenced
these two unsexed creatures said
sternly that if they were caught again
at the same thing he would punish
them to the full extent of the law"
OF course we don't know just what the
. laws of New York are, but we should
fancy from the alarming tone of this
threat that improper language used by
a woman is punishable with death.
MInnesota's good enough for us.
Was All Mistake.
1t must be great relief to Mime
apol1S to have all the unpIeasantness
that has been existing there for some
b Jlme turn out to be a mistake. Dr.
Ames says he never did thing, every
body else says he never did thing,
and all the miSapprehension and clouds
that have darkened the MinneapoIitan
horizon are now a thing Of the past.
How such misunderstanding could
have arisen, how they could have gain.
ed ground-and space in maya zines-is
the question. The mayor and the CITY
must have had some powerful enemies,
VINO tried to ruin them, but innocence,
ike murder, will out, and DR.. Ames is
out on bail. This is proof positive that
he mas friends; indeed, whenever a
man is out on bail it shows that he is
. not friendless, else would he be Ian
gushing behind barred doors But all
the shadows that have been hanging
over cur sister city have cleared away,
the mayor is back at the old stand, and
even his health is better than his
friends and enemies hoped, and he will
soon again be prescribing the festive
pill for the feeble. 'Physician cure
thyself," he has evidently taken to
heart, and~noM he Is fast getting to
where he used to be. The next news
we shall hear is that he is to be a
candldate for the mayoralty. No one
reJoices more at the ending of Min
neapolis' troubles than we of St. Paul.
No Bar Against Women.
Women are certainly getting their
rights. A recent instance of this was
the going into the police court Of two
society ladies'" of La Crosse. to settle
their differences. OF course there was
no particular trouble, but they wished
to show that they could get into the
? police court just like a real man, and
TINS induced them to try that method
or adjustment Of existing difficulties.
1t seems that Mrs. Emma Weber slap
ped Mrs. Hattie Grebner in the face
because of some trouble in the ROYAL
NeIghbors. The mere fact that
%they were both members of the or
gan1Zat1on shows that the quarrel was
not serious matter. as a Royal Neigh
Dor would not strike another ROYAL
Neighbor in the face except in fun
In order to assert their independence
and to show that there is no place that
their husbands go where they cannot
follow, women sometimes are Obliged
to do things that do not look well to
those who are not on the inside.
Refined Divorce.
one OF tne pest evidences of oul
higher civilization is the fact that di-
Vorce is now conducted in so refined
manner that it often does not even
make trouble in the family. This is
the advantage of culture. These re-
marks are occasioned by reading of the
am1cable settlement of a divorce be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. William George
Tiffany, of New York, Paris and Ar
kansas. Whether the good feeling is
Of A1lZnT
York culture, is not stated, but it is ev-
1dent that 1t is the result Of refined
surroundings and education. It Is re-
corded that the very best Of feeling ex-
lists between Mr. and Mrs Tiffany: in
deed we believe they are quite chum-
my, but they firmly refuse to remain
under the same roof. PERHAPS a de-
sire to preserve that feeling of kindu.
ness has induced them to obtain a d..

band, but found a friend Likewise
Mr.. Tiffany. This is all verv lovely
and just as it should be, and, OF course
makes 1t pleasanter for the children.
we have taken distinctly onward
step in our civilization when a divorce
can be obtained with no bad feeling
on either side, and no vulgar charges.
1t Use certainly more agreeable to be
able to bow pleasantly to ones former
husband when meeting him than to
nave to cross the street when he an

AT last we have struck a religion that

busting American people, It is the
discovery or invention, Whichever is
the proper word, of Mrs. John Vance
Cheney, of Chicago. Let those who
have sneered at Chicago take notice.
For want Of a better name we will
quote Mrs Cheney and call this reli-
g1on mental poise." What better?
what more needed? Mental pofse is
just what we have been looking for
and Mrs. Cheney expounds it at $40
per, and It's cheap at that. Mrs.
Cheney is very modest and saws her
philosophy is 1000 years old. but We
insist upon giving her the credit of
digging it up. 1t is entirely mental
and seems to differ from other new re-
Hgions in having nothing to sell. Mrs.
Cheney finds it difficult to say lust

tries to help others to help themselves
and she helps herself to helm them.
