A SEARCHLIGHT ON him"

Far be it from any gentle, man-admir
ing feminine to assert positively that the
following statements concerning the
sterner sex are absolutely and uneQuiyo-
cally correct They are the opinions of
Mrs. T. Z. O'Connor, the brilliant wife
of the Irish journalist and statesman,
and as such are humbly presented:
\ woman wants one thing i'll Il man
when she is Is, another thing at 2S. and
something different at 80; but at ~
all women can join hands and give an
unanimous vote and a long-snifering sigh
for .unselfshness For by that time they
have learned generally by a life of
self-sacrihce that unselfishness is the
very rarest quality in man.
A man may be generous and sincere
and large-minded but he very rarely
possesses the constant and the absolute
unselhshness or woman Man as an
animal really likes himself; he takes
pleasure in his own desires, whatever
they may cost other people. For ex-
ample, there are many men in the world
who have never made a genuine sacrifice
in their whole lives for either their wives
or their children: this could probably
not be said for even the most selfish wife
and mother in existence.
1t is difficult for a girl to realize that
during the honeymoon she must take her
stand for the future. A proud woman
holds up her head and says, Il only want
what is voluntary 1t is so difficult for
her to realize that she should exact what
is her right. If she does this the selfish
oppressor will at least have respect for
her: whereas. he gets into the habit of
regarding her mentally much as he does
a comfortable old pair of slippers physi-
cally. New slippers may not be comfort
able but they are dignihed: they look
we'll and they are carefully treated.
Therefore. quite early in married life
every wife should exact from her hus-
band absolute justice-otherwise in later
life very few wives VIII get it.
At present men are certainly very bad
IL brought up. Mothers, sisters. cousins,
aunts. all spoil them-and why? Because
they are men. But this is nothing so
extraordinary. Sex is an accident Of
birth. and therefore a superior being,
whether man or women. should be equal
IT, respected The qualities of uohenoss,
patience. sweet reasonahene>S. loyalty
AVID sincerity are the attributes to win
admiration. And if a woman possesses
these qualities il is she who shonld be
loved and reverod rather than a :.:an
without any OF then.
There is an old-fashioned prorerb. ~
lie twig is bent. 50 the tree is inclined.
The great thing is TO begin bending In
the cradle: for every woman who i
mother is beginning ~ find ont what she
most likes in man: and rs ter boy grows
mp that IS what she should inculcate III
him. Give him M example Of courage,
Of truth. Of nobility and iglI-mindedneSs
and above all give him a noble eX

"Sh!' replied Bert. Then he added in = MO,
undertone, They're having funeral guess
men Betty screwed up her courage to j.;

Bert looked as though he had some msgivncs
but he took another look through the fence al
responded: "All right. They don't seem TO fo"i
so dreadfully bad" By this time Betty was balf
way over the fence but she was sort of tptoe;n,.
over, instead of going with bound in her us,,9i
fashion Bert followed, and together thew mad
their way quietly across the big ward to will
few feet of where the men were STANDING
he men had just set down a long marrow
box, the shape of which had suggested to tbo
children that funeral was in progress AS the
children stood on tiptoe to see what was to han
pen next, Betty suddenly whispered in Bert's
ear. It's the agator!" And sure enough tb
men who had gone for minute into one of tb
big barns, now appeared and between them thcy

gator, which they laid in the long wooden box
Bert and Betty did not live down South, but
away up IN one of the Northern States of this
country Their home next to the big grounds
and barns in which the animals from the ctv's
400 were kept during the winter, and they knew
the alllgator-at least they had distant acquant-
ance with him. Now they were sure he was
dead, or certainly these men would not dare to
be carrying him about in this fashion But they
Kept very still, for funeral is funeral even if
1t is only that of an alligator
he men laid the stiff black animal carefully in
the box, then they turned and took great handfuIs
OF straw from a pile that was near and began
packing 1t closely round him. When the box was
iull they put cover it, took it up, and carried
1t over to the greenhouse

Why, yes" said the man with laugh; don't
you know that alligators sleep all winter, like
bears, and wake up again in the spring?"
oh, my!' said Bert He never had thought
much about allgators.
And we bury him under the greenhouse" the
man went on, because it's warm there and so
he keeps nice and comfortable through all the
cold weather" The children walked thoughtfully
back across the yard, but Betty dropped down
upon the farther side of the fence she said "Wnat
