FRON OTHER PENS
THE SOCIETY WOMAN.

! A writer in a New York paper, Miss
Fabian Franklin of Baltimore, pro-
tests vigorously and justly against the
common phrase society woman" or
society man." when applied to the
single class OF worldly, frivolous
pleasure-seekers, as indefensible and
vulgar. The froth and foam of So
ciety, she AYERS truly enough, is not
the same thing as society. TT is the
social intercourse of les intellectuels
which constitutes the really impor-
tant part of society,"" she declares,
and though she is limiting the scope
of the term by this definition, since
society is really human intercourse,
human companionship and fellow
ship, among all classes of people,
whether intellectual in character or
not, yet to restrict the sense, as is
becoming the fashion, to the idle and
gayety-loving class. is, in fact, a great
misuse of the word.
Another phase of the misuse on
which the writer in question does not
touch is the inclusion under the term,
society women" meaning women
whose first thought is social pleas
ures. of a very large class to
whom such pleasures are a
mere incident in their lives
and who are really serious-minded
persons, occupied and interested in
many useful and important things
quite apart from frivolous gayeties.
Because they give an occasional en-
tertainment and because they appear
at this or that social function at the
home of their friends, they are, fol-
lowing the custom of the day, care
lessly classed as society women, and
by the mass of people who only know
them as their names appear in print
they are rgarded as persons who live
in a constant round of festivities and
as butterflies of fashion.-Indiana-
polls Star.

Jonathan Bourne a Poker Loser.

s. :.
Jonathan Bourne. Jr, junior Re
publican senator from Oregon; who
achieved fame by advocating a sec
ond elective" term for President
Roosevelt, is shy a large sum of mon
ey as the result of a $40 limit six
handed poker game in which he sat
at the Portland hotel Sunday.
One of the players says the sena-
tor lost $4,000, but his friends insist
that his losses will not be more than
one-fifth that sum.
The feature of the game was the
hand in which the senator stood five
raises in order to draw to two pairs.
Three players held hands, one holding
three aces, the other a pat straight
hand, and Senator Bourne pair of
kings and two fours. Both the others
attempted to raise the senator out.
However. he stayed and drew a third
king, winning a pot which. after the
betting, amounted to almost a thou
sand dollars.
At the conclusion of the game, in
order to recoup his losses Senator
Bourne offered to play pinocle at $3.50
a game. but everybody was looking
out of the window. 1t has often been
said by those who know him intim-
ately that Senator Bourne will play
two pairs higher than any other play
er in the West.-Portland (Ore.) Dis

USE FOR THE APPENDIX.
Surgeons Hope to Use II az Duct For

What purports to be an important

the surgeons Of the West London hos

dangerous, mysterious organ can

eases of the lower intestines, says a
London cable dispatch. The difficulty
of applying medicines in the lower
intestines is overcome by using the
appendix as duct.
The operation begins exactly in the
same manner as the familiar operation
for appendicitis, but instead of remov-
ing the organ the surgeon threads 1t

ciently.

PLAN TO HELP BOYS.
Philanthropist Will Give Cent Day

Philanthropist Will Give Cent Day
to All Young Iowa Teetotalers.
To every boy in Iowa who will take
pledge to use neither tobacco or liq-
uor Samuel Saucerman, wealthy
Des Moines resident, will give a dol
lar, cent a day for three years and
another dollar at the end of the three
years, says Des Moines dispatch. AT
the same time he urges the boys who
accept his proposition to save the nick
els and dimes they would otherwise
have spent for tobacco and alcoholic
drink and put them with their account.
He has figured out that If the boys will
do this none will arrive at the age Of
twenty-one years without having
enough to take them through college
or give them good start in life.
Mr.. Saucerman is rcputed to be
worth $1,500,O0O. The new organiza-
ton he is perfecting to help boys is to
be known as .the trimmer band" To
demonstrate his earnestness he has de-
band" $1,000, which is drawing inter
est.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Saucer
man is to take boys from the age OF
nine to sixteen and organize them into
plants or companies of fifty or hun
monthly meetings, at which time they
would discuss and be taught economy,
| finance and how to earn money, clean
living and everything In line with in
dustry and morals. Each boy on join
ing the club will receive 81. The boy
must deposit with his dollar so cents
| to show good faith. Starting his bank
| account with $1.50, each boy will re-
ceive penny per day for three years,
| and at the end of that period he will
| receive an additional 81. This will
give him $12 IL he has not saved a
cent himself. He urges all boys to
save their nickels and dimes SO as to
be prepared to start life right.
The pledge each boy takes on joining
1.-THE trimmer band' is to abstain from
tobacco In any form, intoxicating
liquors, gambling of any kind and pro-
fame and slang language"
Mr.. Saucerman has already organic
| ed one club In Des Moines. He Is not
going to be content with accepting the
boys who will come to him. On the
contrary, he has hired out of his own
pocket state organizer, who Is to
travel all over Iowa inducing boys to
do away with their bad habits and
start bank accounts at the Des Moines
philanthropist's expense. J. B. Ham
mond has been secured as an organizer.
