IF TEDDY TAKES THE STUMP.

There is gloom in the committee
Apprehension everywhere
In the country, in the city,
Politicians tear their hair.
And Bill Taft and his supporters
Wonder how they'll stay the slump,
If, as whispered at headquarters,
Teddy gets out on the stump.
They were cured of some delusions
They had formed about him when
Day by day they read effusions
From his rapid loving pen
Now they're wondering if Teddy
VIII give all their plans a bump
By declaring he is ready
To get out and take the stump.
And they shake their heads and won
der
Why they can't do as they please,
And why blunder follows blunder
With such disconcerting ease.
They are nervous now and puzzled
AS to how the cat will jump
If the Big Voice is unmuzzled
And if Teddy takes the stump.

friend of mine came to consult me as
to whether she would marry a certain
man who had just proposed to her.

planned, land all that sort of thing,

husband; but, oh, dear. he's so DULL"
Well, of course, as / endeavored to ex-
plain to her, that is exactly what most
men are. But then so are most wo-
men. The only difference is that wo-
men know when they are dull, and
men do not That is why the dullness

that of dull woman. The latter

a popular impression, though, among
women that they (the fair SeX) are very
much more interesting than men.
In this view woman is materially
supported by the drama and the liter
allure of the day, which are almost en-
tirely devoted to the presentation of
feminine problems. So much, indeed,
is this the case that an unthinking
person might easily be led to imagine
that man was a mere machine of ex-
quiSite simplicity the inner workings
of which were not worthy of serious
consideration. A more absurd theory
does not exist, for of course man in
his own way is fully as interesting as
woman. / make this statement all the

that no man ever reads STUFF on the
woman's page. Personally 1 think man

case 1 am tired of the everlasting dis
cusSiOn of woman. I am tired of
hearing about her and reading about
her and talking about her. In the flu
ture 1 am going to devote little of
my time to the study of that simple
elemental thing called man. And 1 do
not think that the subject will prove
any more boring than the study of wo-
man, while there is a possibility that
it may prove more interesting.

Nowadays nearly all women wear

men in politics, and l can positively
affirm that far from improving them,
power in politics and the ability to

are extremely interesting, if only as
psychological problems. Looked at in
this light, ones neighbor at dinner and

Little Weaknesses of the Great.
AS a matter of fact, men are in

One has only to approach them in the

infantile pastimes. No thoroughly
frivolous woman would ever indulge in
Marathon races around her salon, still
less of skylarking in any public insti-

engaged in earning her living To
tell the truth, she does not know how
to skylark Perhaps it would be better
if she did. Perhaps she will take to it
