MAN.s ok woMAN,s.
zach sex 10 che sest Judge Of It's
Own Members.

IN thc general criticism TO which we
al subject others and to which we our
selves are in turn subjected, It is not
unusaal to hear woman described
as "a womans woman" While each
sex is undeniably the best Judge of It's
own members, It is, however, more
than doubtful whether any wonld ever
really feel hattered ct hearing herself
thus described. For one thing. the
phrase suggests tnat her popularity Is
confined to her own sex, and, gratifying
as the universal admiration of her fell
low women may be. the female has yet
TO be born to whom the undying devo-
ton OF even one man would not posi-.
bly, prove more sustaining.
At the same time It must be ed.
misted that the description, like that
OF "a mans woman" is misleading,
giving, as II does. the impression that
men and women dc not like the same
type OF woman. Nothing could, Of
course, be more absurd. for whilo
there are q certain number OF women
who are conspicuous for the fact that
they are only Appreciated men and
others who appeal only to their own
sex the popular woman is equally pop
ular with both.
It. is. of course, commonly supposed
that Jealousy is the cause of the avera'
&c woman's dislike of the mans
woman This, however, is not the
case. The "man's woman" Is dlsliked
by her own sex simply because she is
fool Everybody is down on her
even her fellow fools being sorry fol
her, and when one woman IS sorry
for another it can only mean one thinl
--that is. that there is nothing to b
feared from her.

Did Lincoln Take DRINK Who Cares?
Chicago Inter Ocean The prohibit
tionists and the anti.prohibldonists are
having heated arguments over the
question whether Abraham Lincoln did
or did not ever use alcoholic beverages.
Both seem TO think the point Of enor.
nous importance and that to establish
1t one way or the other would prove
something of vast Importance to the
country just now.
Similarly we nave assertions that
Mr.. Bryan or Mr. Roosevelt, or who
not is like Lincoln in character, at-
titude OF utterance ON public questions.
or.else unlike Lincoln And over this
we have heated arguments. as II -
establish either assertion would
prove" that Mr. Bryan or Mr. Roosc-
welt. or anybody. had just title to
general public approval Just now.
All such discussions are absolutely
futile. To establish the contention Ct
either side IN any of them would
prove nothing whatsoever, except the
Irrelevant and immaterial fact SO
proved. The readiness with which
large numbers of us engage in these
trivial discussions proves only olr
lapse from a right sense Of the rela'
tive Importance OF things-from whet
is known as American common sense
Suppose It should be proved that
on such and such occasions Abraham
Lincoln not only drank but got DRINK.
what would be proved? Why, simply
that on such and such occasions Abra.
ham Lincoln got drunk.
Would It be proved that because no
got drunk Lincoln was enabled to rem
der great and saving service to his
country? Or that II ne had neva-
drunk he would have been enabled IA
render greater or more saving service
TO his country?
Not in the least. His service would
remain just what It was before the
foolish question was raised. The bene
fits that his genius and his lehor con
ferred upon bis country would remair
exactly what they were before. Thi
principles for which he stood and thr
ideals he carried out in the business q

The game played at Vollmer
Sunday was a battle royal and
oneof the best games ever seen
played in this part of Idaho. The
Vollmer boys had strengthened
up with five of the best players
to be secured in Lewiston and
Charleston and, (it is said), had
only two of their regular team.
They were out after Cottonwood's
scalp and money, but-they
didn't get either. Knowing the
kind of game they would have to
go up against the home boys
strengthened up by adding two
players from the Nezperce team
and went into the game with a
resolve to win or die and they
won.
Practically all OF the Cotton
wood people who could get teams
accompanied the boys to Vollmer
to cheer them on to victory and
they were ably assisted in the
shouting by large delegations
from Nezperce, Ilo and Ferdi-
nand.

Last Sunday.

The Cottonwood base ball team
has made a brilliant start for the
season by winning the first two
games played without having
practiced a particle or even got
ten together before the games
were called.
The first game was taken from
Kamiah last Saturday, neither
team showing much speed. The
day was cold and gloomy and the
diamond decidedly slow, which
accounts for the few runs made
on both sides.
George Rustemeyer and George
Lange did the twirling for the
home team while Ben Cloud
pitched for the visitors. Follow
