The End OF Mere Man,

The movement for the abolition Of
Mere Man has achieved such results
that in certain par is Of the country a
reaction has set in. In Chicago, the
capital OF woman's clubdom, one or
two societies have undertaken to pre-
serve a few men by admitting them
to membership. Self preservation
dictates that such OF the unhappy
creatures as have the strength left to
av all themselves OF this permission
should act Immediately. The oppor-
tunity cannot last. The weakness
that dictated a respite for Mere Man
will not be of long duration. Woman
knows her duty. The cause of Mere
Mans decline and fall is now disclos-
ed. Mrs. F. n. Cronise has told the
members Of the Rainy Day Club that
1.-THE world is suffering for fathers"
Why? Mrs. Cronise answers in a
question.
"We have mothers clubs and
mothers magazines, but why not
also have fathers clubs and fathers
magazines personally conducted. il
necessary, by bachelors, just as the
mothers clubs and magazines are
conducted by unmarried women"
Mrs. Cronise remembers a happy
time when ''the good old-fashioned
father really formed part OF the fam
lily. Today he is nothing but a
''source of supplies" The changed
conditions result from the lack of faith
ers' clubs and fathers magazines, and
they determine nan to be unfit for
the position Of head of the house,
Optimists may believe that if the
fathers hustle around and establish
clubs and found publications they
may win back little by little some oil
the lost ground they have lost, and a,
length re-establish themselves in the
respect and confidence OF the dom.
inant sex. The candid observer will
cherish no false hopes Of this kind,
He sees too well the impossibility that
Mere Man will ever overtake Super.
Tor Woman, Her lead is too great to
be overcome, even If he were equip
ped by nature for the struggle.
Those fortunates who have been taken
into the Chicago women's clubs are
not kept with the idea that thew may
develop into useful members OF So
ciety. They are protected much as
the surviving bufaloes are guarded,
merely as curiosities agreeable to
study and as reminders OF a state OF
barbarism through which the race has
passed in its progress to the higher
civilization it now enjoys. Not even
fathers clubs can save Mere Man.
The mothers clubs have cut him of,
and his end is in sight.-N. Y. sun.

Judge J. T. Moore, of the 3lst circuit,
in a recent session of the circuit court of
Douglas county, at Ava. broke all records

the alleged selling of liquor in a local
option section bafied the jury in its at.

men appealed to the judge for relief.
When told by the judge that for every
hour he refused to answer the question
he would be fined $50 and ten days in
Jail, he was not affected, but stood pat
for two and a half days. At last, finding
that his predicament was rapidly grow.

There is altogether too much petty
stealing going on in this city and vi
cinity, and we believe it would be
much less were it not for the mistak-
en- %leniency OF the losers, who prefer
to pocket their loss rather than GO to
the trouble of having the guilty parties
punished. This is a case where
publicity would help to remedy the
matter, and a report Of every loss

From the high price of butter, and
moi able to get it more than half the
time, it does seem hat a good
dairy here would pay. They pay
other places. Why not here. With
proper management there is a big
interest on such an investment. They
tell US there was a dairy here in form
er days, which proved a failure, and
OF that account they claim that such
an enterprise cannot be run here
Times are different. Versailles has
a larger population, and in conse-
quence the demand is greater. The
price OF butter is much higher. The
improved breeds Of stock help to
make the dairyman money. Taken
altogether there is no good reason
why we should not have a dairy, and
that it should make money for the
owner. Where is the man for the
occasion?

The introduction into United States
waters of a number of new water
animals is now under consideration
by the bureau and will necessitate the
invoking of assistance and co-opera-
ton from foreign governments. The
early passage of this legislation is
therefore greatly desired.
Notwithstanding many difficulties
involved in the construction of tho
salmon hatchery in Alaska, which
was undertaken in 1905 in accordance
with an act of March 3 of h a year,
the work progressed sufficiently to
make possible the taking of eggs that
season. Besides a hatchery building
with capacity for 25.000,00 eggs,
there have been erected living quar-
ters and office for the employees, a
messhouse, a storehouse and landing
piers. only about One-halt of the
special appropriation for the estab-
lishment of this station mas been used
and work upon a second station will
be undertaken at an early date.
