She was bright, brainy, cultured.

lates the Chicago Tribune. They met.
She said: ut is a pleasure to talk with
such man as you. l feel at last that ]

Q man There should be no sex to brain,
you know
You speak," he said, "as if you had
had difficulties in this direction"
'Ihave. In debate emen-unconscious-
ly, perhaps, but nevertheless invariably
assume false Difference to women. II
. woman makes statement that a man
knows is not true he will never fatty
contradict her."
But isn't this primarily the woman e
fault? He knows by experience that If
he does contradict her she will resent
it."
"Of course" she said, ut is the wom-
ans fault. She will not submit to be de-
feated. The result is that the majority
of women are often grossly misinformed
upon the commonest affairs, just be-
cause they will never subject themselves
to the educational influence of good,
healthy argument. But with you and me
l want, this to be different. You must
treat me exactly as man. Will you?"
He hesitated.
81 will try he replied, at last. ''But
you know women are-are-"
why do you stop?"
He smiled.
"This is new idea you are giving
me-" he said, land I cannot accustom
myself to it, Il
Exactly so. It's one of the best illus
trations l could give of what I mean.
In the face of my request even you hesi-
tate. My very presence seems to en-
barrass you. This embarrassment on
mems part is what other women enjoy.
They enormously assume that it is be-
cause of their power. But know bet
ter. want you to treat me exactly as
if were a man. Speak out. Tell me
just what you had in mind to say"
He pulled himself together. This re-
adjustment was hard work even to this
plain, blunt man. Besides, he wanted
time to think. His stern sense OF logic
armed him with certain caution. He
was fond of this woman-because she
was woman. What would he gain by
turning her into a man? Would it not
be distinct loss? He felt that she was
more truly feminine than she would
admit. To reconstruct the relationship
between them; to handle her, If need
be, without gloves; to be rude, satirical
cruel-he hesitated to take this step.
II was merely going to remark that
women are in reality superior to men
that you are quite and almost hopelessly
wrong in belittling them as you do"
He looked at her sternly.
"You are wrong!" he continued. "You
do your sex great injustice. Speaking
as man to man, / am surprised at YOU"
She looked him in the eye.
And, in the full consciousness that
there are times when a good. wholesome
lie is not only necessary but positive
duty, he looked back at her unflinch-
ingly.
"Do you really mean that?" she said.
Indeed, do. Have offended you
with my bluntness? Have been too
rude
And she sighed as she replied:
'Oh, no. But am so sorry that we
can't have any argument about it. For.
to tell the truth. fully agree with you"

seem to want to sleep. The horse In
the Cossack's hands is something OF
which the greatest care must be taken.
and this accounts for the seemingly
tireless nature of the Cossack's mount.
If a commander in the field wishes to
send an order to distant column whose
exact position he cannot quite locate,
he employs Cossack, who is bound to
find a means of delivering the order;
for it is said Of the Cossacks that they
can find their way anywhere.
At guerrilla warfare these splendid
cavalrymen are, of course, at their best.
Woe betide an army whose rear is
harassed by Cossacks, for it will have no
peace.
In peace time there are So regiments
of Cossacks-44 of six squadrons and
eight of four. There are, besides, q
Independent squadrons. In war time
these figures are considerably increased,
there being 100 regiments Of six squad
rons and 18 of four, besides So inde-
pendent squadrons. The Cossack is
armed with rife, without a bayonet,
and with sword, which, by the way,
has no guard. Front ranks in most
Cossack regiments carry lances.
The army Of the mikado can boast Of
no body of cavalry that is equally as ef-
ficient as the Cossacks of Russia. The
japanese infantry is more mobile, more
enthusiastic, better trained in many
ways than that of Russia, but many OF
the defects Of the Russian infantry are
atoned for by the perfection of the Rus
sian Cossacks, and they will be a promi-
nent feature Of the Russian fighting
force If war comes in the Far East.
Eifel Tower to BE Disman.led.
An engineering feat of no small i'm
portance will be the razing Of the
Eiffel Tower in Paris. for this re-
nowned structure is doomed to disap-
pear from the Champ de Mars. The
concession for the building of the
tower will expire in 1910, and probably
nothing would be done in the imme-
diate future II it,were not for the fact
that like the famous Tower of Pisa. 1t
is beginning to lean to one side. In
the case of the Tower Of Pisa, the cen
ter of gravity is not far displaced,
since the tower was purposely built
in that position. But with the Efffel
Tower the case is different, since 1t
was designed to stand erect, and any
great amount Of declination will dis
place the center of gravity to point
dangerously near the outside OF the
base.

UNITED STATES MARINES.
They Are Soldiers and Sailor. Both
and Serve AZ q Sort OF In
ternatfOnal Police.

Whenever, in cities, there seems to be
danger Of an outbreak of violence al
any particular point, the authorities
send a detail of police to occupy the
ground and quell whatever disorder
may arise, says Youths Companion.
When similar conditions come about
In international affairs the newspapers
are pretty sure to say, United States
marines have been landed"
Marines have played their part in the
battles Of almost every maritime nation
since the early days of Greece. The corps
Of the United States was established by
the Continental Congress on November
10, 1775, and after the adoption Of the
present constitution and the rfconstruc-
tion of the navy, was again called into
existence by the act of July II, 1898.
The corps has but 5000 enlisted men
It's record from the beginning has been
one of which the whole country has been
proud. In every war in which the United
States has been involved the marines
although often assigned to duty where
the opportunities seemed inconsider-
able. have won the respect of their op-
ponents and the love and admiration OF
their countrymen. On 19 occasions con-
gress has, by joint resolution, expressed
its sense Of appreciation of their valor
and good conduct. The noble way in
which the little body Of marines held
their post at Guantanamo, and by their
dogged courage made possible the land
ing of the other United States forces,
is still fresh in memory; and SO, too, in
their record in the Philippines, and at
Tientsin and other places in China dur
ing the Boxer" outbreak.
The United States marines are In q
sense an international police. They
stand rather for protection and the
maintenance of law and order than for
aggression; but when offensive meas
ures become necessary to the protection
Of American lives and property in for
eign ports, they push them with the
vigor of a hornet and the obstinacy of a
bulldog.
The United States has often been
called lax and Indifferent in maintain
ing the rights of its citizens in other
countries. Patient and tolerant it GER
tainly is; but the word that marines
have been landed" has come to be re-
garded as notice that time is up, and
further aggression will be checked by
vigorous measures.

LOOKING FOR HEARST MEN
Hearst Club Making Careful Canvass
of Local Democrats.

The Hearst club, at room 10, Ka-
sofa building, is seeking the name and
address of every democrat in the
city who favors the election of Hearst
delegates to the county convention.
The Hearst workers are making an
energetic campaign of the city.
w. H. Williams chairman of the
local Hearst club, in an interview
to-day said:
I noticed in T h J o of Friday
statement from Mr.. Barton in which he
says that the opposition to Mr.. Hearst
does not favor Parker. If that be so, now
comes it that they are supporting only
to St. hois Both roc
Lind and F. G.. Winston, whom
they are supporting have an
nounced that they favor Parker. sup
pose they have found the opposition to
Parker to be strong here that they have
made pretense of abandoning him. The
fact is they are for Parker, but they
don't want the people to know it. They
want a delegation which will vote for
Hearst under any circumstances. We
want a. delegation which will not vote for
Hearst long as he has chance, and
after that, if the time comes, for some
other good democrat who is not controlled
by the Wall street robbers and gamblers.
Mr.. Winston, by the way, bolted the
democratic ticket both in 1896 and 1900.

now and assuming the guise of the prod

FLAMBEAU CLUB AROUSED
Elk MEMBERS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN "SAYING THINGS" AND
SERIOUS TROUBLE is NOW
PROMISED. ... ..-....

Trouble Is brewing for several ex-
members Of the Republican Flambeau
club. They are said to have been cast
out for the good of the club. What
the merits of the controversy are is
not 50 easy to learn, but those who are
out make dark, deep threats and those
who are In go a step further and hint
at warrants, arrests and criminal
prosecution in both the state and the
federal courts. In fact, some arrests
are promised for tomorrow or the
day after. ...s. Hi
The trouble was brought to a head
by the Memorial Day exercises, altho
few Of those who saw the club in the
parade yesterday with its brilliant
uniforms and martial appearance
would suspect that it was preparing a
sensation. According to those in the
club, those who were dropped have
made 1t business to discredit the club
wherever possible. Many unfavorable
things were sent to the Memorial Day
committee, mostly in anonymous let
tiers. 1t is runored that the author
ship Of these letters has been traced
to former members. The club became
so indignant that it decided to pur-
sue the offenders to the limit of the
law. They promise action in rday
or two

LOOKING UP
THE EVIDENCE.
The Attorney Generals Depart
ment Is Preparing for Pos
sible Trespass Suits.

The evidence in the timber trespass
cases turned over by Governor Van
SAINT to Attorney General Donahower
is being investigated.
Mr.. Donahower declines to discuss
the matter, saying that it would be
improper for him to anticipate any
action that may be taken. However lit
is understood that facts cited in the
report are being carefully looked up,
in order that the office may be sure of
it's ground before bringing any pro-
ceedings against the trespassers who
got off so easily
It is not likely that any proceedings
will be made public till the summer is
we'll advanced. Should the attorney
general make up a case, the summons
and complaint would have to be served
on the defendant, who would have
twenty days in which to answer. The
case would not become a matter OF
record until that time. It is under
stood also that Mr.. Donahower is hold
ing back until after the state conven-
ton. because he might be charged
with working for political effect if he
openly commenced proceedings before
the convention met.

'TWOULD BAR HEARST MEN
"Scheme'' Said to Have Been Discov-
cred by Ants.

The Harst workers are charging that
the anti-H Hearst men, who control the
county democratic committee, are try
ing to work a game to shut the Hearst
delegates out of the convention till
after the temporary organizations. 1t
is charged that in precincts where the
chairman is a Hearst man, creden-
tial blanks which are sent out with
the notices of the caucuses to be held
Tuesday night, have been withheld by
the anti-Hearst ward chairman. The
doorkeeper at Normanna hall, where
the county convention is to be held,
will be instructed to only admit dele
gates who have credentials If this
game IS carried out, it will certainly
provoke a,merry war among the Hen
nepin county democrats, and perhaps
result in the sending Of two sets of
democratic delegates to the state con-
yent1on at Duluth.
w. H. Williams, manager of the
Hearst workers in Hennepin, denies
that the canceling by Hearst of his
contract for $50 rooms at st. Louis
hotels and the closing of his Wash
ington offices means he has pulled
out of the campaign. Hearst closed
his headquarters in all the states af-
ter the conventions had been held"
rent paid for Minneapolis headquar-
ters till June II, and propose to stay
in them till the county convention on
that date-perhaps till the state con-
yention, June %"
