he wants and, above all, because he
wants to, while a girl-well, she gets
the idea that matrimony is a refuge
from the wrath to come. If She doesn't
marry, she knows that her best friends
will refer TO her behind her back as an
old maid and think of her as one of
life's failures. 1t isn't fair, Why
hasn't she just as much of right to
her singleneSs as a man."
The dark mass in the opposite chair
seemed to be considering the question
There was a movement. and the point
of light that marked his cigar shifted.
"She has" he said. with calm conyic-
ton, only one expects her to have too
much taste TO exercise the right"
There was pause and then he elabo-
rated: Being a woman. you see. dear
girl, is just Il trifle like being caught in
net 1t is by no means the same
thing as being a man, and all the eman-
cipation in the world can't really free
her. She is an entirely different be
ing, and I'm rather glad she is!''
The girl was holding her breath. she
scarcely knew why, Sprites, hand in
hand, seemed to be dancing along her
nerves and singing in tiny threadlike
voices that only she could hear: And
I'm glad too. And I'm glad too" 1t
took her several moments to study the
sudden joy; then she pursued the ar
gument calmly:
But, no; surely you're not in earnest.
Surely you're not of the antiquated
school that believes. for instance, that
woman's brain is of different and,
of course, inferior caliber to mans"
There was a fine disdain in her tone
Notwithstanding the fact that her heart
was beating impatiently.
The man chuckled softly, for. truth
to tell, he was that very sort of crea-
ture. Never had he been able to take
the organ under discussion seriously.
He admitted it now without reserve,
with fine, large, indulgent masculine
assurance.
Its a wonderful little contrivance,
the feminine BRAIN" he concluded, "but
certainly it is different"
Again in the darkness the mouselike
smile flashed out and back again, ac-
companied this time by an audible
sound that started as a smoker, but
was deftly turned into a sniff of scorn.

The Issue of Race.

In the twelfth chapter of the book
of Judges it is told how the Gileadites
slew forty and two thousand Ephraim-
ties at the passages of Jordan be
cause they pronounced "shibboleth"
"sibbOleth.' That was a race issue.
BY their faulty speech the forty and
two thousand proved themselves to be
of another race, and they We're slain.
Read ancient history and learn that in
the dark backward and abysm of time
the hand of every man of one race was
against the hand of every man of all
other races. Stranger meant enemy,
alien meant foe Then the race issue
was at its strongest Centuries have
passed. Almost universal tolerance has
come about. While races still preserve
their national identity. ingreSS and
egress are, for the most part free and
open. The sons of one race mate free
ly with the daughters of another.
Without loss of caste or faint of dis
honor Il French girl may marry a
NeapOlitan. a Swiss maiden Prussian
youth, a Norwegian Olsen a German
Gretchen, a Russian an Austrian, a
Spaniard a Portuguese, an Englishman

States is an amazing composite of all
these and other races.-San Francisco

The anachrOnism of leonardo de
Vinci's lovely fresco of the last Sup
per is curious. He represents Jesus
and the disciples sitting in Occidental
style at very modern extension ia
bic. They did not sit at all, but re-
clined on touches. 1t was this reclin-
ing that made it natural for john to
lay his head on Jesus bosom, and for
Peter and John to hold their whis-
pered conversation without Judas OBJ
serving them, and finally for Jesus to
wash the disciples feet, as they would
extend over the edge of the couch
and away from the table.

that it is Jesus wEo does the washing.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Strengthen the Stomach With MILO
ma and Get Perfect Health.

The source of health is the stom-
ach and the digestive system. When
acting, as Nature designed they should,
the organs Of digestion do their work
regularly and unconsciously, like a
perfect machine.
Those who use Mi.o-na do not have
a sallow complexion, sunken cheeks,
nor labby flesh. Their skin has a
rudy glow, the eyes are bright, the
breath sweet and the step elastic, In
short, the users of Mi-o-na have the
maximum of good health and are
plump, rosy and robust.
Nine-tenths of all sickness comes
from a weak stomach, causing loss of
flesh, shattered nerves, flatulency,
heartburn, sick headache, backaches,
spots before the eyes, rheumatic
troubles and general weakness and
debility. Take a Mi-o-na tablet be-
fore each meal, and all irritation, con-
gestion and Inflammation in the stom-
ach or bowels will be Immediately
soothed and relieved. In fact, the
stomach will become we'll and strong
and the whole system filed with
strength and vitality.
Even II a weakened stomach has
brought you to a chronic stage OF III
health, where life is n long drawn
out pain, do not despair. Mi-o-na will
effect a cure If the simple directions
in each soc box are faithfully followed
Read the guarantee given by Wool
bridge s. Purdy with every package of
Mi-o-na they sell. They pledge them
selves in this guarantee to refund the
money should Mi-o.na fail to help.
