NATURE THE NURSE.

recent address, nature has been a source
of rest and refreshment to men and wo-
men depressed or Jaded by exhaustlng

was there mush need as now for tho

a WOMAN'S AGE.


The thanks OF her sex are due Minnie
Gaillard. schoolma'am of Sartartia,
Tex for her resistance to an act Of op-
preston In Recorder COTS court
Threatened with jail IL she did not
divulgc her age, she stood out for un-
alienable right Of womanhood to keep
that secret inviolable. The toss OF her
head and the snap OF her Jaws as she
deled the efforts OF the District Attor
ney to extract the discriminating evil
dence deserve 10 go on record In the
annals of freedom along with the firing
OF the shot heard round the world.
When the women OF Colorado go to
the polls to vote, the highest judicial
tribunal In the State cannot force them
to tell their age They are above Il,
and that In the laws chivalrlc view Is
enough. II is all the maTriage-license

OF the age Of ladies OF the title the Al
manach de Gotha and Burke's Pecrnge

siderate OF mere princes md dukes.
IL not the authority ample? Thus
bulwsrked by sound legal and social
preccdente, Miss Gaillard stands on
uncontrovcrtible ground.

hearty shake. while another hand that Is
Just as big and brawny Will feel Ike a
log Some one else will offer you hand
that you could reach around with your
little finger and yet the grasp is warm
and sympathetic, while the same hand
worn by another Will feel like a slender
iciCle. and the quicker you lot go the bet
ter Then there are the fat hands, the
long hands the short hand mot steno-
graphically speakingl and many other
kinds OF hands, but IL all depends on how
tho wearer uses them az TO whether or
not YOU care 20 shake again. The man
ner OF shaking ie worth noticing also.
Some folks come TO you with a straight
arm tab, others use cherry-picking
movement and make you reach I'D TO q
level with your forehead, others grab
your hand as low down as possible. while
there are others who bend their arms so
that you not only shake again. but you
rub your arms from the elbow 10 the nm
gers. And then there are those who
shake hands naturally and gracefully.
