pOrtunities to come to them.

The Honesty of Women.

1t has long been an axiom, in cases
Of men who default, forge, abscond or
embezZle large sums, "Cherchez Ia
femme" The expert takes for granted
that woman ia always behind such
dishOnesties. Yet it would seem that
man excuses himself, in these cases,
at the expense of woman, as Father
Adam did in the Garden; for 1t IS a
conspicuous fact that woman, when
employed in business affairs herself. Is
strikingly honest. Women bookkeep-
ers do not embezzle; women as mer-
chants pay their debts promptly; wom-
en- as treasury clerks are known for
their integrity. The boarding house
keepers themselves generally women.
testify that their losses almost invari-
ably come from male boarders. while
those Of their own sex are to be de-
pended upon for regular payments.
Woman, If left to herself. Is thus
found to be more honest than man.
In coming into the commercial world.
she brings to it high standard Of per
sonal honesty. 1t Is to this quality that
she owes part Of her rapid advance
ment into the places which formerly
were occupied by men alone. She Is eco
nomical and careful of her employers in
terests. too, ard he is not slow to rec
ogniZe her value in this respect. What
ever the dra wbacks Of feminine labor
and they are nany-wOman's in
stinctive honesty is an important fac
tor in redressing the balance and in
clining the market in her favor.
If woman Is thus honest in her
SELF why does man excuse himself by
accusing her of making him dishonest?
1t Is safe to say in many cases a
woman is eXtravagant simply because
she has no idea whatever of her hus-
bands business affairs, nor of the val
lie of money. 1t has happened more
than once that woman whose lex
travagance has been the ruin of her
husband" has supported herself and
her children after the crash, and done
1t honestly and economically. OF
course. there are dishonest women in
the world; but If there is one fact
proved by the entrance Of women into
modern business. it is that their per-
sonal honesty Is at a premium, and
that man lags behind their standard.

Ruse of a Young Husband Who Not
Ashamed Of His Achievement.
After the last old shoe had fallen on
top Of their carriage the bride looked
up tenderly into the proud young
mans eyes and said:
Il feel awfully nervous and silly. 1t
will be so horrid to have everybody
staring at us and whispering that we
are just married. Let's act as il we
had been married long, long time, so

full. superb wife. 1t won't do any
good to try to fool them. They'll all
know it the minute they see us. I
couldn't keep from looking happy, no
matter how hard l tried. But leave
it to 0e. I'll fix 1t so they won't stare
at us or whisper about u.s."
After the train had started Arthur
looked up the conductor and had a
short conference with him. Then the
proud groom returned to his wife, and
the official. standing at one end of the
car. said. waving a hand toward the
happy couple:
Ladies and gentlemen. l am re-
quested to announce that they have
just been married. They are anxious
to have 1t understood that they are
not at all ashamed of themselves. and
they don't propose to pretend that they
are old stagers. l thank you one and
all for your kind attention"

stepped forward and shaken hands

One thing is certain: The idea of being

taxed to support an establishment and
government that takes much and gives

govern themselves? Canada Is an EN-.

She has climate; she needs population.
She has acres of fertile land by the
tens Of millions; she needs farmers.
She has natural wealth without limiA
