UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

Man was'the first truly great created
work of God. God saw man could MT
get along without something to spur
him up so He made woman. So wo-
man is the greater creation and an i'm
provement over man. Well, they say
hateful things about us men sometimes
but still we go ON loving them and
working forsthem.
We excel women in physical strength
but she beats us in endurance We lie
and sleep while the baby cries while
she worrys all night and does all the
house work next morning.
In mental power we do not excel.
How many great men have said, II
am what my mother made me.
Who is the power behind the throneI
Why, the woman. While man is writ
ing his long winded declarations what
is woman DOING All she can to help
others except herself Woman surely
does her part and more than her part,
often working for beyond her strength
She is not vain as some men assert,
but it Is natural gift with her to love
the beautiful and is not vanity. As to
patience, Job is not in the patience
line with the women for if they did
not excel in that particular attribute
they couldn't live in the same house
with some of the sons of Adam.
Her intuition is finer than that of a
man and is really the only way some
of thep can find out anything as they
do not'have the opportunity any other
way. In personal appearance they ex-
cell man. With her accomplishments it
is wonder to me she submits to the
! impOsitions man seeks to impose on
her, calling her often mannish wom-
amor an inigma. They are not enig-
mas but Gods masterpieces of crea-
tion, the very queens Of the whole
world, the sunbeam of beauty, the
(, doubly--distilled fragrance Of roses and
the melodys Of all nature, that says to
man, be gentleman, be refine. We
owe whatever refinement we possess
to woman. 1t was she. that first re-
vealed our weakness and exposed our
beastly condition, and ! have no doubt
that Miss Eve, when she viewed her
self in the crystal mirror of the lake,
adjusted curl that bewitched old
Adam so that then and there he gave
her his hand and heart, admitting his
own igferiority to resist the power of
/ her charms. Well from that day to
this she has been trying to improve the
sons of Adam and hard job she has
had Some have been wonderfully i'm
proved and made tolerably decent fell
lows, but not all According to hei
opportunities she has done well, YET
with her power and influence some
remain..yet in a crude state of refine
ment, but with their ever increasing
opportunities look for higher civil
ization than man has ever known. Ig
norant women do not raise very intel
ligent sons and they know it and as
such they are reaching out for greater
intellectual qualifications, which is
the best sign see on the horizon O.
the age and this sign is one of thu
greatest of all 1t means more to thu
human family than everything else
We may talk of financial progress, bu
the education Of the daughters of th'
land is Of more Importance than al
else combined, and educated woman
hood is the greatest move among us
Good, true domestic woman are wha'
the world needs. Most men have beer
content with his own advancement
, but now he has learned that woman i
the great influence that sweetens life
and he is listening to her pleas anC
granting her requests. | am one WHIT
is NOT afraid to trust woman. | believ,
she is worthy of all the rights anC
. privileges 'man possesses and shoul'
I have an equal showing with him.
am thinking she would not use sucl
privileges with impropriety, but woulC
make her more womanly
