EVILS AND BENEFITS OF WON.
EMS CLUBS.
tBy Mrs. Eliza Gowens. }

Clubs are by no means Of recent
origin, but Plutarch of Rome and
Aristotle of Greece tell us of various
clubs organized for religious, social
or political purposes. Even in those
ancient days these were not the ex.
elusive privilege of the male sex.
Women we're united in similar associ-
ations. Whilst their objects were not
generally edifying they showed that
their minds were not satisfied to re.
main in an ignorant or enslaved con.
dition but were grasping for higher
things.
we. the women OF today, are striy.
ing to improve what they began. We
are not content to be merely toys or
slaves, a thing to be peter. scolded
or scorned according to mans caprice.
But we desire to be what God intend.
ed, a helpmate and companion to him
who processes to love us. Hence We
organize the various kinds OF clubs
We will admit that all our clubs do
not accomplish good. First there ia
gossip. Gossip is an evil anywhere

not be developed, We must still edu-
cate ourselves and advance. Our des-
tiny will be what we make it. The
fact that the negro has advanced so
rapidly In country that is the equal
of any civilized race on earth, under
such disadvantages as we have had
to contend with, shows that 1t is not
lack Of brain power but lack of oppor-
tunity that keeps us handicapped as
we are. But for all We will rise-we
must rise. But now we can say that
genius, religion, art, science and pa
tience will all unite their powers to
assist and aid in the uplifting of the
Negro race. Wrongdoing in our fel.
low man-however humble, creates a
debt that draws big interest and must
be paid by somebody sooner or later
Our foreparents paid the debt in part
and we are still paying and will con-
tinue to pay until our race grows SO
strong that we will overcome the dis.
advantages under which we have lab
ored since brought to this country and
in time to come we will be destined
to hold our own as a respected, hon
orable race Of people. The race must
learn to stick together as a race. Our
destiny should be the highest rung
of the ladder and we will not reach
that rlng only by hard struggle,
many rebuffs and everlasting patience.
But we as race will win with a
long pull, a strong pull an a pull all
together. AS | look down the coming
ages-far as We can see we will notice
the same brain development, the same
reaching after higher ideals. In one
years from now we will have
a people who as race will be edu-
Gated, refined and cultured They will
stand out In clear light OF a better
day. having won on the field OF in. |
tellectual action every right and priv.
ilege accorded to any other race. Let
each OF us in our way make every
effort to bring this about for 1t is said
Honor and fame from no condition
rise; act well they part-here all the
honor lies"

Coeducation,

All institutions which have been es
tablished by the state for higher edu.
ration should provide for the educa.
tion of both men and women, and It is
a decided gain TO have this work done
by one institution rather than by two
and there Is no serious objection to
the education OF men and women in
the same institution that has been es.
tablished for both. says Cyrus Nor
thrup. president of the University Of
Minnesota. In Golfers. The boys and
girls grow up together in the same
family; they go together TO the same
graded school; they so together TO the
same high school; they go together TO
the university. and coeducation in tho
university does not seem TO any OF
them any more strange or unnatural
than coedueation in the lower schools
has seemed strange. So far as the In.
fuence OF the men upon the women.
or the women upon the men. is con
cerned. ! am quite certain that tho
result in general is good. The men
are made more gentlemanly. and the
women. while having all the frankness
and freedom OF the home life and the
school life. never lose the refinement
which belongs TO them as women.
have no sympathy whatever with the
what shall call it?-sentlmentallty
which seeks to segregate the women
and shut them In by themselves In
the work Of education.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that Its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
80 little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation. that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath.
er than how to reach 1t. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments 10 policy
holders during the six months end
Ing June 30 were $21 1,660,761. 1t is
Interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing BY
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus. while death
claims were $l1,1s0626, the amount
paid for matured endowments. annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$l0.4S0,l35. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies. en-
braces n wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families Of those who die pre-.
maturely.

The Mikado as a Poet.

Great as is the position won for
himself by Mutsu Hito in the litera'
ture OF his country, it must be
avowed that his poetry, from the
point Of view Of the west, is second
rate. says Current Literature. In the
original 1t is comparable only, affirm
native critics, with perfume from the
trees. A striking feature of what

ity on the subject-terms these Lilli'
putian odes is, he thinks, their clip
tical terseness Of style" Hence, Mutsu
Hito's poetry lacks quantity, accent,
tone, rhyme, and all the incidents to
prosody. His majesty's stanzas are
made up of five and seven syllable
lines alternating, unless some patri.
otic frenzy agitates his muse. His
genius is grave in the ode, gay In the
stanza, enabling him to perform with
out adventitious aid all the functions
OF the court poet Thus, when lady

consequence the unprecedented honor
OF visit from the empress, royal
stanza embelllshed the parting. "The

white hair was symbolized by that
bird TO which japanese artists are so
partial. the goose itself being en-
blematic in the native poetical mind
Of feminine loveliness in its most raw
ishing aspects. The Japanese pretti-
ness of the thing is quite sacrificed in
our rugged phraseology. Mutsu Hito's
poetical fame is. therefore. strictly ma.
tional.

Courtesy al Home.

We are all creatures OF habit,
men and women alike. and tho habits
and surroundings OF daily life have n
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root OF all bad manners Is
selilshness; when self ever is first. fore.
most consideration for others always
iags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that II disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivcts that keep So
ciety together. but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought TO
be SO much the habit with each OF us
that II will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.

THREE MILLIoNAIREs IN NET
Leading Business Men Of Wyoming
Must Appear Before Judge
RIner for Sentence.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-In the United
States District Court II took
Jury exactly one hour to
return verdict Of guilty in
the case Of Robert McPhilamey, E. M.
Holbrook and E. E. Longabaugh, mil
lionaires charged with conspiracy to
defraud the government Of valuable
coal lands in Sheridan county. The
defendants, of whom Holbrook is a
capitalist, Longabaugh prominent at
torney Of Sheridan, and McPhilamey a
leading business man Of Sheridan
county, seemed stunned by the verdict
and had little to say.
The maximum penalty to which
each of the convicted men can be SEN
fenced on each Of the two counts in
the Indictment is $4,000 fine and two
years Imprisonment
The $1,000 bond given by each OF
the defendants prior to trial holds
good ut this time and they will be at
liberty until they are summoned be-
fore Judge ]. A. Riner to receive sen.
tence.
After the trial United States District
Attorney Timothy F. Burke stated that
NO one knew at this time whether ac.
ton would be instituted against Mrs.
Anna MCGEE of Sheridan, mother-in-
law of Longabaugh; Mrs. Lee Hake
Of Sheridan. Longabaughs niece. and
Benjamin ID. Chase Of Sheridan. who
confessed on the witness stand that
they made filings at the instigation OF
Longabaugh or Longabaugh and Nc
Philamey.

The defence OF .he three co-defend-
