Tho Courage OF A Woman.

els Marriage a Failure?" Is a sub
ject which mon, many of them, nave
tackled, but they have never quite
reached the heart of the matter, be-
cause 1t seemed to involve an arraign-
ment of the fair sex which no mere
man is brave enough co undertake. 1T
remains for a woman to point out
the weaknesses of her sex, and Mrs.
Anna A. Rogers, who tries to tell
the world "Why Marriage Fails" In
the curren Atlantic" Is evidently
a woman OF more than ordinary
courage. Most of the blame for the
failure of marriage Mrs. Rogers puts
on the shoulders of the women. the
steady discomfort with married life
which is rife in the land-in our
land particularly-she attributes to
three causes: Cd Woman's failure
to realize that marriage Is her work
in the world; GU her growing in
dividualism, and 60 her lost art OF
giving. Instead, she always wishes
to take.
On the point that marriage Is
woman's work in the world, Mrs.
Rogers shows that the workout IN
and she thinks that much OF the
trouble comes because woman is not
content to do her own duty, which,
if properly performed, Is the high
est duty, but must, pcrforce, come
interfering in mans work and neg

is an indiscriminate and undigested
education which deprives us of good

A Giant Mule,

The high water mark on the price
of the world famous Missouri mule
was set last week, when the largest
mule in the world was sold in East
St. Louis for $500. The enormous
size of the mule was the star attrac-
tion recently at the East st. Louis
charity carnival. The mule is a
native of Culver, Mo. 1t was shipped
to Pittsburg, and upon its arrival
there will take its place beside hair
less horse. The animals will be
used for exhibition purposes. The
mule weighs 1860 pounds, almost
twice the weight of an ordinary mule,
and stands more than eight feet
high, with his head up. There IS
not a hlemish on him, and besides
being the largest, is said by experts
to be the most perfectly formed large
mule in the world.-Kansas City
