almost directly opposite me sat a
countrywoman of mine from Kentucky.
One stout, red-faced English woman in

English woman talked about America

woman had invented the country and
was responsible for everything from
Tammany to Pullman cars. Nothing
American escaped her censure and at
length she began on the race question
in a way that isn't heard at American
ddnner parties. She went on and the
kentuckian began to look dangerous.
AT last the Englishwoman said:
But you can't deny that you actual

Knew From Experience.


1t was ait a club--a mans club and
the members were discussing woman,
possibly from a realizing sense of how
little they could ever hope to know
about the subject and with a laudable
desire to learn by pooling their general
information as much as might be.
From women in the abstract the con-
versation had dr.fted naturally to a
consideration of the more concrete ex-
preston of feminine phenomena, IN
other words. the company was talking
wives and each member was putting IN
his little claim to reflected glory, even
as, long ago, did the happy husband
of one Penelope.
My wife" said the man from
Brooklyn. proudly, has one of the
brightest minds of any woman l have
ever met"

The Brooklyn man looked up sharp
ly. There was an authoritative ring
in the strangers voice that he did not
quite like.
Nevertheless. he continued after a
pause. II must admit that she has her
faults
Indeed she has corroborated the
stranger.
The Brooklyn man started to his
feet. "See here, my friend he ex-
claimed. Il should like to know by what
authority you agree with me so detin-
itely about my wife,
The best in the world" said the
stranger. Il used to be married to her

a calmness which, nothing could dis

HUNGER AND HABIT VS.. THEORY.

Professor Russell III. Chittenden of
Yale, has gained considerable notoriety
by asserting his conclusion that the
average man eats three times more
than is necessary or even healthful He
argues this in way very convincing to
the full fed Taken directly after din
ner Professor Chittenden's arguments
seem unanswerable. Repletion in
clines an attentive ear to the lessons of
RbStemiausness.
But as the professors experiments
prove it is hard arguing with hungry
man. For the past eight months he
has had control of a squad Of twenty
United States soldiers who have been
subjected to all sorts of astronomical
experiments under direction of the pro-
fessor. Meat was tabooed and grain
foods and vegetables constituted the
entire menu. Rations were cut down
to ascertain just how little men might
eat and remain effectively active. AS
Z
two because mental wrecks and six
were sent away because they foraged
for meat and got It, The others COM
paained bitterly and wished themselves
out OF the service. Evidently Profess
sor Chittenden's mind disagrees with
the average stomach, and in the final
analyses the stomach always rules the
mind. The man who works or fights
must be fed. Beef and bayonets have
a connection not all alliterative. Theory
Is far from filing.
There is much that Is interesting
about the experiment. 1t would be in
teresting to know what Professor
Chittenden ate during those eight
months. Ii would also add interest to
know just how and why the professor
came into absolute control of twenty
enlisted men to starve into desertion
and insanity
