Men differ as to religion and
politics, bat in their ideal Of woman
they stand firmly united. With
one accord they declare that the
ideal woman is one who devotes
herself above all things to the ways
of her household, and so excluslve
must this devotion be that one of the
most frequent objections to woman
suffrage is that even the fifteen
minutes a year necessary to the
casting of her ballot would serious
ly interfere with her home duties.
1t has always seemed a detrac--
ton from the dignity of marriage
that wife's duties were so closely
allied to those of valet or house
hold servant. A man would not
seek inspiration after a hard day $
work in the society of either, and
yet we find men saying that women
best adorn the home but we observe
that in general men avoid it for as
many hours a day as possible.
Has it come to this then that men
do not really care for the ideal
which they profess to cherish?
They flock in numbers to applaud
woman as an actress, and as a
lecturer. The less she conforms to
their ideal the keener seems their
desire for her society.
This. week in Washington,
the Geogr aphical Congress is proud
to honor Mrs. Fannie Bullock
Workman, who holds the worlds
record among women for high
mountain ascents. She has scaled
number of the giants of the Hima-
layas, y which have never been
climbed by any man excepting her
husband. What could be more
foreign to the cherished ideal than
mountain climbing, and yet here is
a case where by trailing that ideal
in the very dust Mrs. Workman
finds herself the trusted FREUD and
companion of her husband and the
honored speaker of a Biographies
Congress. What then is the status
OF the much Wanted ideal? The
honors seem to go the other way.
1t is absurd to expect women as a
class to devote their lives to fulfill
ing mans ideal only to find the
finished product drug on the
market. ANNA G. ETZ.

HUMoRS or CIVIL SERVICE
Amusing Incidents Of the Examina-

The examinations recently held
in Washington for positions in the

VOTE ON THE TREATY
Will Be Taken Between Feb
ruary Is and %.
AGREEMENT REACHED
NEXT MONDAY EXACT DATE
WILL BE SELECTED.
Senate in Executive Session - House
Votes in Favor Of $4,000, 600
Loan to st. Louis Exposition.

The Senate will vote on the Panama
canal treaty on some day between Feb
ruary Is and %. An agreement was
reached in executive session today to
take action on Monday next, to decide
upon a time for voting on the treaty,
and 1t was determined that such date
should be on or before February %.
At the beginning of the session today
the Senate adopted a joint resolution au-
thorizing a survey to determine whether
& tidewater ship canal across the state
of Florida is feasible. 1t also passed
the bill authorizing the construction of
a bridge across the Cuachita river In
Louisiana by the Little Rock and Mon
roe Railroad Company.
The Senate, then. at 12:37, on motion
Of Mr.. Cuilom. went into execut1ve SEES
canal treaty.
After the executive session yesterday Sen
ator Cullom. who has charge of the treaty,
conferred with the leaders on the demo-
cratic side, with the result that when the
doors were closed today an agreement was
speedily made looking to the termination
Of the long contest. :.
The correspondence which the President
sent to the Senate in executive session was
referred to the committee on foreign rela-
tons, and that committee will examine the
documents and decide what portion shall
be printed as an executive document.
When this correspondence was received
objection to it's reference was made by
Senator Cullom. on the ground that 1t was
of such a confidential nature that 1t shoula
not be printed in any form. Discussions
have disclosed the fact that some parts
of the correspondence should be prepared
in form for use by the senators, and 1t is
expected that this matter will be so ar
ranged.
Senator Morgan took the floor In support
of the amendments to the treaty which
were adopted and then reconsidered by the
foreign relations committee.

PENSIONERS UNIQUE PLEA.
REQUEST That It Be Reduced Granted
bv the Commissioner.

The commissioner of pensions has auth'r-
lied the reduction of the pension of Peter
Rees of Novinger. Adair county, Mo-, from
$50 to $50 a month at the request of Mr.
Rees This is one of the most unusual
cases the pension Office has had to deal with
for many years. 1t is not ihfrequent for
veterans to abandon their pensions entirely.
but for a man to request a reduction there
Of on the ground that the government was
paying him more than was absolutely neces-
sary for his support, is unique. The Off
Gals of the bureau have no recollection of
similar request being made to the bureau.
Peter Rees. it is said, belonged to one OF
the loyal Missouri regiments in the civil
war. He was terribly wounded in one or
the western battles and was rendered al
most helpless He was pronounced by sur
geons totally disabled and unfit to perform
manual labor. With his wife he lfvved in
small place in Missouri. He was granted
pension of $50 month. Within the past
few months the bureau received letter
from him asking If il was possible to obtain
a reduction of his pension He told the
commissioner that after careful considera-
ton of the matter he had decided that the
government was paying him too much
money; that he could support himself on
much less and suggested that the pension be
reduced from $50 to $50. He said that he
had the full consent of his wife to the
transaction. Acting on his request the con-
missioner has. therefore. authorized the re-
duction of the pension.
