WOMEN MORE SURE-F0OTED.
Go Easily over Dangerous Crossings,
While Men Must Help Each other,

Go Easily Over Dangerous Crossings,
While Men Must Help Each Other,
From the Chicago Tribune.
Is a woman more steady on her feet
than a man, and can she distance him
in getting over dangerous places?
An event in the Fox river valley DUR
ing the last week seems aptly to illus
trate woman's agility and reminds one
of the old school game of years age,
when boys followed each other over
devious paths in following the leader"
During the recent flood in the valley
and the moving of the heavy ice
portion of the trestle work known as
the Five Islands bridge of the Elgin,
Aurora and Southern electric line WAS
partially damaged, so that it became
impossible to run cars over it. The
Elgin cars were run down to tho
bridge and the passengers crossed on
foot to the car waiting at the other
end. To enable the pedestrians to get
over without trouble a walk OF boards
was nailed over the cross ties.
After this was done two spans OF
the south end of the structure were
further damaged, so that several yards
of the track sagged toward the water
and left the rails and cross ties hang
ing at an angle of forty-five degrees.
The board walk that had been fasten-
ed to the cross ties was tilted up side
ways, requiring one to bend his ankles
in order to walk across. 1t was nee
essaTy to walk downward to the GEN.
ter of the sag and then up on the other
side.
The laughable picture Of men helping
each other over this place was witness
ed. The women went it, alone. A
girl with big hat that threatened to
be blown off would rest one hand on
her headgear, gather her skirts about
her with the other, and then, setting
her feet to suit the side angle of the
boards, she would trip down the in
cline and Chamber up the other side
without any trouble. 1t was jolly fun,
besides. The track sagged down with
in a few feet of the water that was
running twenty feet deep, and swift
at that. but this seemed to have no
terrors for the feminine passengers
The men would go through all kinds Of
motions to balance themselves ana
some OF them looked as If they would
give $40 for a hand rail to hold on to-
As IL was, some of them got down and
slid across, holding on to the rails dur
ing the trip.

Premier Maura and missed him must
be an aimless lot of vagabonds.-Cleve-

A GENERAL RETREAT
KUR0PATKIN'S PLAN.

Paris, May 1O.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo De Paris
telegraphs as follows:
'Gert Kuropatkin has ordered a
general retreat and no doubt intends
to avoid battle until he has sufficient
forces. He actually has at his disposal
not more than 100000 men, exclusive of
the garrison at Port Arthur, which
consists of 10000 and the garrison at
New Chwang of $4,000.
"a general who knows the secrets of
the mobilization, tells me that the last
thousand men making up the required
100000 men, will leave Kasan July II,
adding; We will be very sick if the
railroad is not worked well. 1t is not
likely that Gen. Kuropatkin will ia
tigue his troops unnecessarily. If the
Japanese press him he will retire from
Lao Yang to Mukden. or even to Har-
bin. Retreat certainly is painful, but
it now is indispensable"

THEY TALKED OF PEACE.
Prologue of the Conference That Is
to BE Held in Boston.

to BE Held in Boston.
New York, May 9.-To promote inter
est in the thirty-eighth annual peace
congress to be held in Boston next Oc-
tober, meeting was held here to-day
Oscar S. Strauss, in opening to-day's
meeting, referred to the first peace
meeting of Importance held in this
country, in Boston, in 1885. He then
spoke of The Hague tribunal and said
that in the long run it's work would
serve to stop all wars. OF the Russo
japanese War he said the question at
issue between the two nations was one
which could not be submitted to The
Hague for arbitration, although The
Hague may have to be asked to step
in after the war. The robber princi-
pie that to the victor belongs the
spoils, nations will no longer submit
to, he declared.
Edwin D. Mead, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Interna-
tional Peace Conference, said it was a
disgrace to America and to England to
be adding to their war equipment
while little countries like Chilli and
Argentina were doing away with their
ornaments.
The speaker closed by saying that the
sentiment for peace in France was
ahead of that in England and the
United States.
Robert Treat Paine, president of the
American Peace Society of Boston,
said that with the proposed increase in
the United States navy, the annual
cost of maintenance would be APP
proximately $500, 900 900. This, he said.
would be $10O,O0O,OOO more than it cost
for the entire free educational system
of the United States.

Japa nese Mafda.

From the St. Louis Republic.
1t is high time we took thought of
the Japanese woman. as a possibility
of rule in the Orient-in the same sense
in which the American woman is 1.-The
potential ruler of the Occident-and as
an influence upon universal civilization.
Such men as Lafcadio Hearn and Ed
win Arnold have long held up the Jap
anese woman to the worlds imagina-
ton, and, except our own, there is none
more picturesquely and more promi-
nently in universal attention. Hers Is
a piquant and colorful attractiveness
which has made itself felt upon man.

with ii an atmosphere and suggestion
of the tender. the beautiful, the low
able, essentially the artistic" Yet, e's-
cept for what Arnold and Hearn ard
our romances and operas and teacups
and Japanese fans have told us, we
know not much about her: know her
specifically at best.
Despite the wide adaptiveness of ia
pan and the extensive adoption of Eu-
ropean ideas which have characterized
its progress during the last generation,
the position of its women has changed
little. The men of the little island
kingdom have at least shown them
selves conservative in their attitude
toward her. A proposal to "emanci-
pate" her is as yet viewed--or would
be- nobody has forcibly urged it--as
not only unnecessary, but in the nature
of things absurd. The difference be-
tween her life as girl. wife and mother
and that of the American girl is so
great as to be almost incomprehensi-
Bile to US. To regard her seriously has
not occurred to the Japanese, though
by no means is she denied affection. q

Crape-Nuts. and l am thankful I
adopted the food, for he commenced

not eat anything else. He commenced
to get fleshy and his cheeks like red

II took him to Matamoras on
visit and every place we went to stay
to eat he called for Grape-Nuts. and
