A MODERN MYTH
There Ia No More Mystery About Wo.
 men Than Men.

There Ia No More Mystery About Wo. men Than Men.
 At every turn in literature and in life, we run up against the superstition that woman is mysterious being. Ro- mancers and poets have carefully cul- tivated this notion, women have gen. orally encouraged it, and men by their gingerly treatment of 1t have seemed to accept it.
 Really there is nothing in 1t. All the twaddle of centuries about women be- ing guided by intuition and about their minds acting indirectly, while men't act directly, is the merest poppycock- idle invention of fantastic-brained pc cts and dreaming novelists.
 Were there anything in this super statition it would have been discovered at the beginning. But there is no rec ord that Adam observed any mystery about Eve except temptation. The savage races, who are the closest to human nature of any of us, do not appear to have this notion. A woman to the Indian is simple affair, dealt with without clrcumlocution.
 In the Bible records there is no mys- tery about her: there are many trib- utes to her noble qualities and some things are said about her, but there is little affectation of not understanding her. She may be prophecies or a consoler, or a snare, but she is no more "deceitful or desperately wicked" than anybody else.
 There is no evidence that the ancient Egyptian woman was more difficult to comprehend than the Egyptian man. They were both doubtless willy, as highly civilized people are apt to be- the serpent of old Nile" was in both of them.
 All that is worth knowing about hu- man nature was discovered in early times, but the notion of mystery in woman was not among the early fund of information. It is not, in fact un- til we come to medieval times and the Chivalric age that women are set up as being more incomprehensible than men-that is, less logical, more whim- sical, more uncertain in their mental and moral processes.
 The playwrights of the 17th and 18th centuries worked" this notion continually. They always took an in- vestigating and speculative attitude to- ward women that fostered the conceit of their separateness and yelled per- sonality. Every woman was supposed to be playing part behind mask. It was an age in which woman was ideal ized, and the idealization consisted in making her seem to be something she was not.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.

BemldJl has lost several good
opportunities to increase its ma
terial prosperity during the past
few months because of simple
neglect. Business enterprises
Of various kinds have wanted to
come to us but we have been in
different The Commercial club,
from which so much was hoped
when it was organized, is appar-
emily dead and the business men
Of the city are discouraged from
attempting anything more along
this line.
So far as is known by the bust
ness men Of the city who con
tributed their money toward the
organization of the Commercial
club nothing whatever has been
done by that organization. What
has become Of the money that
was raised nobody knows. Mean
while manufacturing enterprises
come to Bemidji and go away I'M
welcome.
Bemidp has splendid POSSIBLE
tiles. The cooperation of its
business men looking toward the
encouragement Of manufacturing
ventures in this city will surely
result in a steady and substantial
growth and will in time make Be
mid il one of the most important
cities in the state. In order to
accomplish this end it is abso-
lutely essential that some such
organization as Commercial
club or Commercial union should
set to work.
We have all given this matter
serious thought. Why not give
it a little practical attention?

BACKWOODS
IS K e T. G FL e S
BRAINS In ANIMALS.
BY A. M. GREELEY

"Some animals have more than
instinct-they have brains, " said
Liar" Jones musingly. II had
a herd of hogs once on my claim
and when feed got scarce [ went
out and pounded the oak trees
with a club and brought down
the acorns. The hogs followed
around at my heels, picking up
the nuts. They wandered into a
tamarac swamp one day, where
there were lots of dead trees.
The woodpeckers were hammer
ing away, and them hogs chased
from one tree to another looking
for acorns. When [ found them
a week later there WASH t much
left of the hogs but their tails
and hunger squeals. Well, that
was instinct.
81 had a goat later. Just a
plain, bashful-looking, hungry
goat. 1t would eat anything
from a paint brush to a prayer
book, and it would swim or
elm b a mile to get a lunch. 1t
followed me so the fourth of July
last year. The settlers had just
bowed themselves for a $l4O flag
The goat, Trust I called him,
cause of his swallowing capacity,
set his eye on that flag and he
must have it. He had to climb
the flag pole to get it. Every
body was eating dinner at the
TING. A fellow rushed up and
grabbed a gun and said, Jones,
dumb goat has eat our flag We
rushed over and found him pick
ing his teeth at the foot of the
the flag post. The man aimed
his gun and the goat tumbled to
his fate. He gagged, and spit
out the flag, then butted under it
as much as to say, you dare not
shoot at the flag. And the man
threw down his gun. That goat
had brains. !"
