other and foster party spirit. The
only trouble is that women are sc
apt to force their opinions upon
others. AS soon as a woman de-
cides it is best for her not to mar
ry, she wants to shut up everyone
else to keep them from doing it.
Women in Civil Strife.
at is the greatest question of the
age, this question of women in civil
life. But there are many positions
in which they give better satisfac-
ton than men. AS secretaries, for
example, they have been found
more discreet, and they are regu-
lar in their habits and faithful in
their work. But they do great
wrong when they take less for
their work than men would take.
And as long as they do that it will
be very hard to do anything for
them"
Just here the manicurist was an
nounced. "Now, here is a work
men couldn't do at ALL" Mrs. Graf
gle observed as the girl took her
hand. II don't know, but I am
afraid it is all going to result in
mems becoming more idle--heaven
knows they work hard enough now,
poor souls"

Business VS.. Domesticity.
Il do think the independence of
! n h,,r 1ifA for
domesticity more than it does men.
All girls like to be independent.
And they like good clothes and
good times, only they care so little
for food. And they must be well to
be plucky.
But not all women naturally
prefer a domestic .ife. 1t is the
same with men and it has always
been SO.
All Women Should Work.
The fact that so many women
of means have nothing to do is
unquestionably a great source Of
trouble in this country. Everyone
should have some work or some
charity. In England it is very diff
ferent. There every woman wants
to do sOmething-and you are a
democratic country, too. And we
are supposed to be an aristocratic
one.

THE FATE OF THE BoLTER.

There is great lesson in politics
to be learned from the election held
in Chicago yesterday. This is the les,
son that bolter must learn sooner
Or later and that is usually impressed
upon him at very early moment after
he has become bolter. John Harlan
was a bolter from the ranks of the
regular republican party in Chicago
republicans, he has defeated the regu.
lar republican ticket in Chicago by be-
coming an Independent candidate for
the mayoralty This year he returned
to the fold Of the party and was nom
mated for mayor. The republican
press of Chicago made fight for him
that will go down in history as one OF
the best and strongest ever made in a
Chicago municipal campaign. But he
was defeated by almost $4,000 votes
because he was a bolter.
The democratic candidate, Judge
Dunno, had many things which worked
against him in his campaign for the
mayoralty. He did not resign from
the bench, fact that was strongly In
favor Of his opponent. He supported
in the most open manner the candi.
date for alderman in the first ward
who is known far and wide as one of
the most notorious political tricksters
in Chicago and indeed the entire west
Michael Kenna, better known by the
title, "Hinky Dink." Judge Dunno
was not thoroughly in accord with all
of his party, but he had been true to
the democratic principles and candi
dates in the past.
Harlan, on the other hand, was a
bolter. 1t mattered not that he has a
splendid reputation as an honest man
and reputable citizen. 1t mattered
not that he represents one of the
proudest families in Chicago and in
deed the whole nation. 1t mattered
not that he was supported, despite his
boiling characteristics, by many of the
