CIVILIZATION AND The KICKER. ;

Civilization IL the work of the kicker.
There can not be too much intelligent
and honest kicking. The kicker is the
motive power of progress. If 1t had
not been for him humanity would still
be living In caves. wearing skins AMI
going out with a stone Ratchet to kill
something for dinner. The world new
or has received an impetus from the
man who Is satisfied with things as
they are \ Chicago philosopher was
once SO profoundly impressed with this
truth that he declared that every man
who reaches the age of Is should he
taken out ana executed because. as he
alleged. men of that age become salts.
fed with the status quo and thus act
as n clog upon the wheels of progress.
This. of course. Is an extreme view of
the matter. but the principle which
It embOdes Is correct. Kicking Is an
other name for dissatisfaction with ex-
listing abuses-cither active or passive
and kicking Is consequently the
agent of reform and progress. Coming
from generalitles To particulars, 1t IS
absolutely true that the American peo-
pie suffer because they are aversc to

fully. The result Is that the English
man. living under an "effete despot-
ISM" Is emancIpated from q thousand
petty imposltlOns, impertlnenccs and
downright steals to which the citizen
of this enlightened republic submits
with bitterness In his heart. but no en-.
ercy In his legs. He cOnfOunds kick
ing with "squeallng," which Is very
different thing. There Is nothing weak
or unmanly in standing up for ones
rights. There are, however, encourage
ing symptoms of the rise OF Il kicking
movement. More people kick against
traditional lmposltlOns than ever be-
fore. There are kicks against the Tip"
against official insOlence and against
the various forms of common injustice
and roguery. The American citizen Is
awakening to the power of the kick ju-
diciously employed. When he becomes
fully aware Of 1t there will be an i'm.
provement In n whole lot of things
which are now passively accepted as
necessary and irremediable nuisances
and imposltlons.

CENSUS FIGURES ON WOMAN'S
INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

Every once in awhile some one with
n genius for looking ut figures through
strange lenses delves into the United
states census reports and hobs up with
the startling discovery that man Is be-
ing hopelessly swamped by the indus
trial progress of women. The figures
that tell Of large increase of women
ia gainful occupations are In official
reports. Women are employed all
about US. The researcher reads,
notes the tide of feminity that is max
ing its own way in the world, grows
alarmed for his sex, nnd lifts up his
stentorlan voice In warning, The last
of these periodical warnings Is gem
The moan of the recedlng masculine

Poor man, You were good driver

The style OF reasoning employed by
those who see the finish of man writ
tcn in such unmistakable characters is
clOquently illustrated by the following,

The court martial sentence dismiss
 Ing Midshipman Arrowood of North Carolina from the service has been ap- proved by the President. The dis missal is for desertion. About a year after graduatio while on duty on the kearEarge, the midshipman rendered his resignation, which was not accept ed. When boy enters the naval acad- emy he binds himself to serve in the navy for eight years unless sooner dis
 charged by competent authority. The Navy Department decided to hold Arrowood to his agreement A young man who has been educated and sup ported by the government ought to do something to cancel the debt, especial ly at a time when there Is a lack of officers. Young Arrowood would not As his resignation was not accepted he took French leave. Ono excuse for assertion was that every regulation made for his protection had been broken. If so there were other means of redress at hand than those he adopted. The other excuse was the nlleged 'immoral atmosphere" of the navy. AS soon as Arrowood was on shore he got place as clerk in Wall street brokers office, thus taking refuge in what many consider an ex- tremely immoral atmosphere" Dis missal from a service that he wishes to get out of may not seem severe to Arrowood. He may be delighted to be set free from daily contact with the things I loathed." The sentence is not a mild one The law reads that every person who deserts from the naval ser vice of the United States is deemed to have relinquished and forfeited his rights of citizenship. Such deserters shall be forever incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under the United States or of exercis- ing any rights of citizen thereof" The common seaman who has been brand obscurity protects him. It is otherwise with the officer who Is deserter. The mark which has been put on him can not be effaced The day may come when he will claim the protection of his country's flag. but he will be known and 1t will be denied him. Mir Arrowood will be a fortunate man If he Is able to go through life without regretting that he has made himself a man without a country.

FATHER HAS AN AWAKENING.
Find. the Ways of To-day Are Not
 Those of Forty Years Ago.

Unlike the man who shirks all re- sponsibility in shaping his sons career, there Is occasionally one who causes just as much trouble by an overdose of parental interest A case fin point is of a successful business man, who made a large fortune in a well-esta blished bust ness, which he hoped his son would take up at the proper age.
 In the meantime the son was sent to college, where he became much attach ed to the profession he had elected to study. But after his graduation the son, much against his inclination, was persuaded to enter his fathers busi- ness. The elder man had worked up from a poor boy and believed that young married people should exercise something like the rigid economy that had started his fortunes forty years ago.
 The son married a young woman who knew nothing of work and didn't want to learn and they set up a mod est home with one servant. This was too much for the father who remon- strated with them for their extraya- gance He said that they were begin ming wrong and by way of teaching them to get along on a small amount of money he reduced his sons salary to a sum that would not allow the luxury of a servant.
 The son said nothing. but not long after that the father found note on his desk in which he said that he had accepted a position in his profession that would enable him to live the way he wished to and that he had moved bag and baggage to city in the East. The elder man realized that the meth ods of forty years ago are not those of to-day. But 1t was too late.-Detroit Free Press.

The tendency toward higher prices, even for education, is illustrated again by the announcement that Vassar col lege has raised its rates. Since 1866 a girls absolutely necessary expenses at yassar have been s4O0 year. Now they go up to $500. Institutions of learning, like enterprises of any other sort, can not live beyond their incomes for very long at time. Since their running expenses are more than they used to be, and since they must be con- stantly extending their courses and i'm proving their facilities, they must get more money from somewhere. The un- fortunate feature of the situation is that increased tuition charges make it very hard for young men and women in moderate circumstances to pay the market price for their education. The advance in rates makes 1t all the more important to bestow scholarships with a liberal hand. No college that turns away a student because he is poor Is fulfilling its mission.

cry description, a way to do 1t by machine is worth knowing. Of course 1t will never take the place of hand work-nothing could. But at least 1t Is fairly good substitute for many things. Glrdles (and so many of them require row after row of shirring) and even dress yokes and cuffs are espe- cially good done on the machine.
 It is all trick of the tension. Loosen the lower tension, leaving the upper tight, and stitch your rows exactly as If you were doing plain stitching. When lt is all stitched pull the loose threads underneath, drawing the material up until it is as full as you want 1t.
 Then fasten both ends of your threads, and your shirring is done, only about ten minutes having been needed Instead of an hour or two.
 But don't try 1t on delicate stuff the stitching Is sure to show.
