THE cHIvALRoUs AMERICAN WOMAN.

Chicago who lately declared the American man to bt
the superior of the American woman marks an era
in modern progress. 1t is not that for moment we
agree with her. We merely applaud long step for

Saturday Evening Post.
Years ago an after dinner speaker-and il need
scarcely be added man-ironically apostrophized

superior now our equal" A president of the Oxford
union, in grave, undergraduate debate, hit off the
case more apty in declaring that though the New
Woman had ceased to be lady she had not yet

The signal fact about the present dctum is that it
proves that the speaker has become a gentleman
We should not be surprised to find that the remark
was post-prandial and made with wineglass tilted
aloft in patronizing toast to the better sex, God

The spirit of chivalry has its root in the sense of

thus acknowledges his superiority
Meantime the question of the relative merits of
the sexes remains about where it was. A generation

with delighted acrimony because no solution is at

is more necessary, more useful, more able or more
virtuous than the other is as inconceivable as a
scheme of nature in which there irresistible forces

being satisfied with his place in the realm of nature
woman has shown an equal share of the divine gift

the fact that while it cost William L. Douglass $685.
900, by his own statement to run for governor of
Massachusetts, the salary is only $4,000 year, and
the term is for year only. But then look at all the
good advertising he gets out of it. Mr. Douglas has
never been afraid to put out his good money for good
advertising.

How Light Should Fall

1t is almost universally believed
that the best form of reading lamp is
one which, by means Of an effective
shade, concentrates the greater por.
tion of the light upon the reading mat
ter. Furthermore. the lamp is usually
one of the "drop-light" sort, which
brings the flame near and below the
readers eyes. The result sought after
is, that much light be precipitated on
the page, end on the page only, while
the surrounding parts OF the room
be weakly illuminated, even to

This talk that has been going on

COL" Bill sterrett, who drifted into
Washington from Texas. reminds me
OF thinA that happened down in my
state few years ago. Jim Hodges, a
local orator, was just coming into his
house when his boy rushed out and
yelled: Pop, they're goin to lynch
niger over by the clearing!'
Jim jumped on his horse and rode
like mad for the scene of trouble.
They had the niger on a platform
and were just getting ready for the
final act when Jim burst into the
clearing and checked his foam-fecked
horse. 'Stop!' he yelled, with an i'm
perious wave Of his hand.
Everything came to a dead stop
and jim, springing upon the platform
began a speech that promised to
break all oratorical records.
