WHAT is WORTH WHILE
The Woman's Club Members Discuss
Knowledge Beneficial to Women


What Knowledge is of Greatest
Value to Women" This was the
topic for discussion at the regular
meeting of the Kenosha Woman's
Club held at the club rooms IN the
library building on Wednesday after
noon, and the discussion of the sub
ject made up one of the most pleasant
sessions ever held by the members of
the Kenosha club. Three papers
bearing Jon the subject we're read by
Mrs. Edwin r. Whitcomb, of Fond du
Lac, Mrs. Albert Frantz and Mrs.
Peter Fisher.
Mrs. Whitcomb took 'stact' as the
best thing for a woman, and her
paper showed that the woman with
tact was well equipped to meet the
difficulties of life.
Mrs. Frantz pleaded for a general
knowledge among women, declaring
that the woman Of today should have
not only knowledge of books and
arts and literature, but she should as
we'll know something of household
economics.
The paper read by Mrs. Fisher was
prepared by Miss Helen Lester. Miss
Lester declared that the most valu-
able knowledge for the women Of the
present day was to know What is
Worth While or the Knowledge of
Values.
After the three papers very inter-
esting general discussion was led by
Mrs. Eddy. The afternoon closed
with the customary cup of tea.

LAYMANS ANSWER.

On one occasion when ex-Congressman
John r. Thayer was counsel for the oe-
fense in the central district court he was
cross-examining a witness in the case Of
the Worcester and Suburban street
railway ticket forgery. The witness, who
was a conductor on the road, had been
arrested for forging tickets.
A man named Jensen was employed in
the car barn of the road. He was not
particularly bright, either in appearance
or speech, and the conductor had attempt
ed to show that Jensen was the origIna-
tor Of the scheme for forging the tickets
Thayer asked the witness. by way of
ridicule, if he did not believe Jensen
showed lack of capacity for putting up
such job on the road, and closed his
cross-examination by saying: Doesn't
he look like bright man?'
The conductors reply. He must be;
he hired bright lawyer" convulsed the
attorneys and court so that Thayer did
not pursue the examination further

DOGS SMUGGLE LACES.

Some clever ruses to outwit customs au-
thorities along the French frontier have
been revealed by the capture of dog,
says the Brussels correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record. Before making use
of this dog as a lace-carrier the smuggler
crossed the border often with him, so that
the customs officers might know the ami
NAL. Then he clipped the dogs coat
close, wrapped around his body yards
OF costly lace and covered the whole with
fur like the dogs coat
For five years this dog carried Brabant
lace without awakening suspicion. Then
a friend" of the smuggler notified the
authorities. who shot the faithful ami
NAL. 1t leaked out that dogs are used
for this purpose all along the frontier.
Pigeons are also used for smuggling.

Diet Delusions.

n ONE diet delusions are of most
modern date, like the fad which is
- now devastating our breakfast ta-
bles while others are Of most respectable
antiquity. writes Woods Hutchinson, A.
M, NJ. D., is the April McClure's. Among
the latter is that very ancient survival.
the notion that particular foods are
good for particular things or effects.
This is an almost direct descendant or
the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage and bar
barous tribes, that the flesh or viscera
of birds and animals possessing particu-
lar qualities will be nkely to produce the
same qualities In those who eat them
Thus Nero used to banquet on nightin-
gales tongues In the hope of improving
his voice and the Ojibwa cut out and de-
voured the heart of the bear, the liver of
the buffalo, ETC., believing that the
strength and courage Of those animals
would thereby be transferred to himself
1t is probable that the most gFewsome of
ancestral tes-cannibalism-was largely
due to the same belief, although. of
course. in Neanderthal days. primitive
man would have no more hesitancy about
eating his enemy after he had killed him
than he would in devouring a bear or
deer In fact, the early converts of the
missionaries in the South Sea islands
referred to their favorite dish as 'long
pig" Every known race has at some
time been cannibal.
There certainly was a childlike logical
ity and naivete about the conception of
the Maori warrior who rounded and com
pleted his conquest of his enemy by eat
ing him afterward and thus acquiring all
the vigor and energy which had been
wont to oppose him. The story told of the
old Maori chief who, upon his deathbed,
when urged by the missionary and his
favorite wife to deathbed repentance,
and told that in order to do so he must
first forgive his enemies. proudly lifted
his dying head and exclaimed, II have
no enemies; l have eaten them ALL" ap-
peals to a slumbering chord in US even
yet While certain most intelligent people
today would Indignantly resent the accu-
sation of reverting to such days and
ideas, they will vigorously denounce the
eating of pork as an unholy thing on
the ground that che who eats pork thinks
pork" and the more orthodox of them
will even declare that while Scripture
records that the devils entered the swine,
we have no assurance that they ever
came out of them.

BT Il. j. WHTERHOUSE:
M OW the world was lost in the log of guilt

M OW the world was lost in the fog of guilt,
And its people ran to and fro,
And blood of the mortals by nortals was split,
And drear, was the voice of woe
And Rome sat high on her seven hills,
Nor read in the stars her doom,
And the life of man was a life of ills,
For Love was in his tomb.
And ever the people ran here and there,
While hope, like a specter, fed
And they cried with the voice of sore despair,
"Our Love, sweet Love- is deadr'
r UT cen while the world yet swung in night
Il And shrank at tyrants nod,
There were some who looked to the breaking ligl
For loi they had walked with God
But their hearts were stricken beside that tomb
Which seemed to the blackness wed,
And they cried, while the city was lost in gloom
is it true that our Love is dead?"
For the soul of man doth with doubt abide,
And its voice is ever sigh;
1t must touch the wound in the riyen side,
Or it fears that Love will die.
T HE morning was fair as an angels dream
When one walked sorrowing where
That tomb was lit by the suns first beam;
In her heart was a dire despair;
And then Love came, from the tomb he came,
And walked by her side in the day,
And he whispered low: Il am still the same.
Fear not, for I live Away
Oh, it ever hath been, and it ever shall be,
That Doubt to our soils doth lie
Yet we need but look to our God to see
That Love, he can never die.
