MEN NOT so SELFISH.

Club Delegates Set Them Right on
SuGrage-Oficers Elected.
Man, his points, good and bad, came
in for a share of comment at Wednes-
days session of the General Federation
of Women's Club in st. Paul. Woman's
suffrage had the call and Mrs. Mary
g. Andrews, of Omaha, Neb-. took a
fling at men, referring to them as sell
fish because of their failure to extend
the general franchise to women. This
declaration brought Mrs. Robert Hall
Wiles of Chicago to her feet with this
defense of men:
THE American man is the most un
selfish man in the world He is much
more unselfish than the American wom-
an. Property rights are just as fair
toward women as toward men, and the
delegate from Nebraska is wrong when
she says the men want to keep the bal
lot themselves through selfish motives,
or because they do not want the women
to have property rights. Women can
get as much favorable legislation now
as they could were they able to vote
We cannot have it go out from here
that we believe men are selfish"
This was a hot one cor the delegate
for Nebraska, who qualified her pre-
vious remarks. She squared herself
thus:
II love all men. / idolize man; he is
an adorable creature. wouldn't have
that impression go out from here for
anything. I'm not talking about the
good men we all love; l referred only
to the politician"

"Now, prisoner" said Troks to Dawes,

Rufus Dawes looked from the three
stern faces to Kirkland's white back.
and his face grew purple. In all his
experience he had never been asked to
fog before. He had been logged often
enough. He picked up the heavy cat,
and drew its knotted lashes between his
fingers.
Go on, Dawes" whispered Kirkland,
V ;shout turning his head. You are no
more than another man."
Rufus Dawes lifted the cat. swung it
round his head. and brought its knotted
cords down. The white back was in
stantly striped with six crimson bars.
Kirkland stifed cry. 1t seemed to
him that he had been cut in half.
"Now. then, you scoundrel." roared
Burgess; separate your cats, What
do you mean by fogging a man that
fashion,"
Rufus Dawes drew his crooked fin
gers through the entangled cords and
struck again. This time the blow was
more effective. and the blood beaded on
the skin. The boy did not cry: but
Macklewain saw his hands clutch the
slaves tightly, and the muscles or his
naked arms culver.
The third blow sounded as though it
had been struck upon piece of raw
beef. and the crimson turned purple. The
fogging proceeded in silence for ten
strokes, and then Kirkland gave a
screech like a wounded horse.
"Oh,-Captain Burgess,-Dawes.--

now presented the appearance of ripe

Our National Drink Bin.

Statistics published by the American
Grocer, drawn from the internal revenue
records, show that since 1901 the cost of
stimulating beverages consumed in this
country has risen from 81, 3,212.3S6 to
$1,548, 7OS, 307 in 1905, or gain of 81 1-3
per cent. During the same period the
population increased from 77,647,000 to
SO, 143, 900, or a gain of 81 per cent
These figures include tea and coffee. In
other words our drink bill is one-fourth
the total estimated production of our en-
tire farm products. The per capita ex-
penditure for stimulating beverages for
the year ending June 30, 1905, was
$1S63, or $93.15 for each family of five
persons. OF this the cost of tea, coffee
and cocoa was SECS, leaving 1885 for
alcoholic stimulants. England's drink bill
still costs each inhabitant something over
$40 a year, while the average for male
citisens over Is in Germany is $37 SO.
