As long as fond fathers slave and
foolish daughters can hide the petit
coats of poverty under a silk dress and
crowd the doings Of cheap society into
the space in their heads which ought
TO be filled with plain useful knowl-
edge lot of girls are going to grow
up with the idea that getting married
means getting rid of care and RESPONSE
bility instead of assuming 1t.
A fellow can't play the game with a
girl of this sort, because she can't
play fair. He wants her love and a
wife; she wants a provider, not low
er, and she takes him as husband be-
cause she can't draw his salary any
other way. But she can't return his
affection, because her love is already
given to another, and when husband
and wife both love the same person
and that person is the wife it's usu-
ally life sentence at hard labor for
the husband. If he wakes up little
and tries to assert himself after he's
been married a year or so. she shud-
ders and sobs until he sees what
brute he is, or if that doesn't work,
and he still pretends TO have q little
spirit, she goes off into a rage and
Mysteries, and that usually brings him
to heel again. It's a mighty curious
thing how a woman who has the ap-
petite and instincts of a turkey buz-
zard will often make her husband be-
lieye that she's as high strung and del
icate as canary bird
It's been my experience that both
men and women can fool each other
before marriage and that women can
keep right along fooling men after
marriage, but that as soon as the ay-
erage man gets married he gets found
out. After a woman has lived in the
same house with a man for year she
knows him like a good merchant
knows his stock, down to any shelf
worn and slightly damaged morals |
which he may be hiding behind fresh
er goods In the darkest corner of his |
immortal soul. But even If she's mar
ried to a fellow who's so mean that |
he'd take the pennies Off a dead mans
eyes mot because he needed the mon
ey, but because he hadn't the change
handy for a two cent stamp she'll
never own up to the worst about him,
even TO herself, till she gets him into
a divorce court.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 14.-Colo-
nization of East Africa by American
Jews WILL in the opinion of Secretary
Hay. reflect no discredlt whatsoever
upon the Americanism or patriotism
of the colonists. The attention of the
secretary was recently called In a
conversation with Israel Zangwlll, the
we'll known writer. to the movement
in which the International Society OF
Zionists is interested, looking to the
formation of Jewish colony in East
Africa. Mr.. Zangwill pointed out
that some of the wealthy Jews in this
country have hesitated about joining
the movement, fearing that their af-
filiation with il might discredit the
genuineness of their American cit-
zenship and patriotism.
To. Mr.. Zangwill, the secretary gave
permission to make public his person.
al opinion that participation in the
Zionist movement could not in the
faintest degree discredit the loyalty
of American Jews. 1t is hoped that
the opinion of the secretary will go
far toward removing this obstacle to
the Zionist movement The society
of which Mr.. Zangwill is one of the
leaders is undertaking the problem of
caring for between $4,000 and 10000
possible emigrants a year from this
country and Europe to East Africa.

The news comes from Chicago that eight women students have entered a large male class in vivisection which will be taught this quarter at the Uni versity of Chicago. They will experi- ment on dogs. for which they pay 50 cents each; cats, for which they pay 25 cents, and, as one of the instructors said, on anything else they can get hold of
 Some thoughtless people will take a notion that this action is ''unwomanly'' and not a mark of the gentle and kind spirit which Mungo Park, or some other traveller, found in some savage women. But this notion is wrong. Women are thorough, and when they go into any thing they go into it all over. These women in Chicago are aiming to be doctors, and they mean to be the best of their kind. Vivisection is supposed to be a help toward being a good doc tor, and so they will vivisect. And they wont cry about the sufferings of the cats and dogs either, any more than they will over the male hearts they feel called on to vivisect. Perhaps these women will never be cat or dog lovers, and perhaps they will. Anyhow, they will vivisect now, and do as they like about cat or dog love later on.
