"sQUAw.TALK."

Among our American Indians any
kind of foolish or frivolous converse
ton is called "Squaw- talk-talk fit
for women but unworthy of men.
Mary H. Ford, of New York, wri.
ing in The BOokman, applies this
term to the ordinary "woman's page"
in our daily newspapers, where re-
cipeS for face lotions, advice concern
ing courtship, and answers to silly
questions on etiquette, ETC., make up
a mass of inanity." why is it as
sumed," asks Miss Ford, "that the
average American woman is mentally
on par with a child or twelve?'
Even where woman is selected to
write on serious subject, as Miss
McCraken was recently by the out
look, she promptly degenerated into
sentimentalism. When her topic was
woman suffrage in Colorado, an i'm
portant social experiment of great in
terest to all intelligent women, she
assumed that she was writing to wo-
men and must write "down to their
level" with the result that her whole
chapter was devoted to the ridiculous
question whether or not suffrage is de-
stroying the "womanly" qualities OF
the newly -enfranchised sex. In 9TH
er words, she resorted to "Squaw-
talk"
Men, too, often seem to think that
they must "candescend" intectually
to women. They say 1--WE must
not teach, because that would be pc
dantic; and we must not contradict,
because that would be rude. Yet
women are not children. They ap-
preciate conversation on a higher
level, and, as rule, will show them
selves quite able to take part IN it.
fl believed that the "woman's page"
is really what women want, I should
despair of the future of the human
race.
One of the chief advantages of
coeducation is the influence which
young men and women unconsciously
exercise upon each other. The wo-
men learn to understand the mental
processes of the men and the men
learn to appreciate the ability and
intellectually of women. If boys
and girls were fellow students an0
worked together, then and in after
years there would be an end to-
"Souaw-talk." Until that is the case
it will probably continue.
"BUr," said the merchant to the
applicant, "you don't furnish any
reference from your last place. "
"You needn't worry about that,
replied the man with the close,crop-
ped head and prison pallor. Il
wouldn't be here now if it hadn't been
for my good behavior in my last place.

A NEWSPAPER publisher recently
brought suit against forty-fve men
who would not pay their subscription
and obtained judgment in each case
for the amount of each claim. Of
these, twenty-eight made affidavit
that they owned no more than the
law allowed, thus preventing attach
ment. Then under the decision of
the supreme court they were arrested
for petit larceny and bound over in
thesum of s., 900 each. All but six
gave bond, while the six went to Jail.

Says TroIleys Lower Morals.

Providence, R. L Is the
Church of the Future to Be a Wo-
mans Church," was the subject of
the paper read recently before the
Methodist ministers meeting by
the Rev. J. w. Annas of North
Attleboro. He said;
We can not ignore the fact that
the Church is fast losing its hold
on boys and young men. First
among the causes is wrong home
training Higher ideals are placed
before the girls in the home than
before the boys. 1t IS considered as
a matter of course that the boys
must SOW their wild oats, while
the girls are expected to lead ex-
enplary lives.
The dissertation of Sunday is
another cause. The electric cars
contribute to change the day from
one of rest to one of noise and
hustle and labor. The many forms
of Sabbath recreation also divert
the attention of the boys from the
Church.
First in the morning along
comes the abominable Sunday news
paper with its rebash of the sport
ing news of the week and of the
worlds horrors. Then the ball
games and other amuSementS leave
little time for church worship.

Farmer Clark Tells of His Visit to IKE
Twin Cities on May q.

Corpus Christi Caller, Mayo.
The Brownsville railroad on the
above date gave us a cheap fare tt
visit Mexico; we then and there &C
cepted; left Corpus $40 a. N.
Now to the new people that read
this: II is $50 miles from one tc
the other and not a drop OF
wiliskey to be bought. Is there
another $50 miles in Texas where
the country is settled, that can say
as much?
At Kingsville we spent nearly
three hours, saw the people and
the town; many of us have warm
friends there; IS miles from Cor
pus we got beer. soda water, etc. !;
20 miles this side of Brownsville
we got the same; 120 miles, not a
drop to cure snakebite, etc. We
got to Brownsville by dark, and ye
scribe not being of a sleepy nature,
crossed out CT the United States
into Mexico to see and be seen.
Early next morning we got hack
and visited the BlaylaCk farm,
where 1900 acres are under irriga-
ton and all kinds of stuff raised.
We crossed the Rio Grance III a
skif to Matamoros; we are told
that they crossed 10000 people
that day. Here we visited the
great and grand cathedral. We
asked permission to ascend to the
top, 90 or 100 feet high, where we
could almost look back to Corpus
and west to Monterey; down we
came and here the priest bids us
good bye with hearty hand shake.
Next we went to the bull fight.
We bought the SIS tickets and
sat near the governor, who was
one of the judges. There were two
fine bands, two companies of re-
gular soldiers and fifty police pres
ent, besides 1000 people to
witness the sport. In all two bulls
killed three horses, six horses Grip
pied, one man slightly hurt, and
So, 900 spent to see that one hours
fun, if you call it fun. l can not
tell half of it, as l have not the
space, but we got home after being
gone three days. Glad, yes, very
glad we went. 1t is equal to one
years schooling, such as We have
these days.
We arrived at home in day time
and beheld our Jersey COWS and |
fine crops, and ours are raised |
without irrigation We now ap- |
preciate our little home on the bay |
more and more.
In less than five years they will
have an iron bridge across the Rio |
Grande between Brownsville and |
Matamoros, where for over 100
years they have used a skiff. The
Lord has saved this land of Canaan
for us and our children. Let us
go over and occupy it.
