at all to a man, the additional incen-
tive to hard work which it entails
more than counterbalances the lack
of external advantages. But with
woman poverty invariably means
tremendous handicap in anything she
undertakes Of an artistic nature. It
means that even where she relegates
the actual making and mending of
her own and perhaps her children's
clothes, to another, she must still fill
up her mind with planning them; pur-
chasing them, making an attractive
appearance herself, keeping her house
tidy, planning meals and the advan-
tageous expenditure in detail Of her
income. All Of this must in the ma
ture Of things swallow up time and
energy. We all know that unless de-
tails that must be attended to are
kept on the mind they will be forgot
ten.
Now, masculine genius may be as
absent-minded, untidy about looking
after his clothes and belongings, as
blind to mere details, as he pleases,
and yet it will be provided he is
really more or less Of a genfus) in
diligently put down to the amiable
idiosyncrasies Of genius. All this,
however, in a woman, be she never so
brainy, would be objectionable. She
realizes this, and, consequently, must
give considerable proportion of her
time to all that a man comfortably
ignores or leaves to his wife.
While the bachelor girl who has
chosen, for the sake Of art, to remain
single, at any rate during the best
years of her life, is not handicapped
in anything like the same degree she
would be if married and a mother,
she still, nevertheless, handicapped,
even today, in a not inconsiderable
degree by her sex. And although, as
we all know, it happens that some
among the most highly gifted, men
tally and physically, men elect to re-
main single, yet in estimating percent
ages, it will be conceded that, say,
ninety per cent Of the flower Of her
sex are probably married by the time
they are twenty-five or thirty. There
fore, the exceptions to this heavy ar
tistic handicap are only small per-
centage among the women who might
possibly develop artistic genius.
In counting over the married
couples among ones friends and ac-
quaintances, balancing the collective
brains of the husbands against those
of the wives, it is not Cat any rate,
in the writer's experience) the latter
side of the scale that tits upward.
But even granting, for the sake of ar
gument, that other peoples private
scales should tip the balance in the
same way, we are only "forrarder"
by the discovery of a high average,
which does not necessarily include the

HON. THOS. e. WATSON AS A
WORKER.


pany, to take its place in the libra
ries of the country with the other
works of this Georgia author. The
new book, Waterloo" forms one Of
the historical series of Mr.. Watson's
works, and is sort of sequel to
Napoleon" as that work is to "The
Story Of France" AS everybody
knows, the historical writings Of Mr..
Watson are divided into two classes,
one relating to French History and
the other to American history. In
the latter class it must be remem-
bered that the last chapter of his
"Life Of Andrew jackson" was pub
lished only a few months ago, in
The Jeffersonian Magazine. At pres
ent Mr.. Watson is believed to be en-
gagged in an amplifcation of his Gro
man Sketches, in which he will take
up successfully the leading characters
Of Roman history.
Besides these historical works, Mr.
Watson has written other books, the
charming story, "Bethany," a mix
ture between biography and historical
romance and his books on political
subjects, all together forming quite a
library by themselves.
However much Georgians may diff
fer in their appreciation Of Thomas
E. Watson, there are none that do not
admire his writings. Unfortunately,
on account of his political activi-
:. ties, his own people are widely di-
vided in their appreciation Of him,
and while there are many in whose
eyes he is the greatest man living and
who in their hearts honor him above
all men, there are others who as
heartily dislike him and who assign
him to a low place among dema-
gogues. Perhaps it could not be 9th
erwise in regard to one Of his decid-
ed views and strenuous activity IN
contending for them, and who has
the courage to array himself against
the powers that be. Because of this
independence and restless activity it
will probably be Mr.. Watson's fate
during life to meet bitter antagonism
and personal enmity among his own
people, and he who above all else
would prize the undivided, heartfelt
appreciation of all his people, will go
through life encountering violent OPP
position and the harshest and often
unjust criticism. Only when his life
work shall be ended, when the active
brain shall have ceased to think and
the busy hands be stopped by death,
when he shall have ceased to be an
active force in the great drama of
life, will it be possible for all men
to do full justice to his work. And
then will Georgians agree, as they
cannot do now, that among the many
illustrious sons Of this grand old
state, Thomas E. Watson was one Of
the greatest.
On one thing all will agree now, and
that is the wonderful amount Of work
of which he is capable. For two
years he has been publishing weekly

JAPAN's POPULATION

The population of Japan today is
just above so, 100000. The exact fig
ures for 1907 are not yet avail
able, but the estimates just published
are based on the average growth of
the last thirty years and may be TAX
en- as fairly accurate. In each Of the
flve-year periods for which figures are
shown, over the past twenty-five years
the population has increased, roughly
speaking. by 100000. Today the es-
innate is that there are 49.2G7, 744,

NARROW ESCAPES
FROM SHARKS
FiIipinoS Cling to Upturned
Boat and Fight Man-Eat-
erS-ReSCued by
Steamer,

Vancouver, b. c., Nov. 30.-News
has been brought here by the Cana
dian Pacific railroad steamer, Glen
farg, of the rescue of four Filipinos
from death when surrounded by
harks, as they clung desperately to
wreckage, and of the suffering of the
lighthouse keepers on the coast, when
they were on the verge of starvation.
According to advices from Hong
Kong, Captain Carlos Krcbbs. COM
mander OF the steamer Dalupanon,
reports that while en- route from Tu-
della to Iligan, in Cebu, the ship
sighted four Filipinos clinging to a
submerged banca, surrounded by .
school of sharks. which even, after
the vessel had come alongside, per-
sisted in lowering about the banca.
The men, when picked up, related
terrible tale of suffering and agony.
They stated that they had left Bas-
ac, Negros, bound for Brazile, Cebu.
and that they had run into heavy
weather, which had caused the banca
to fill, sinking to the waters edge.
Shortly after the weather cleared,
leaving these poor mariners under
the glare of q tropical sun. The
sharks appeared, and, to the agony of
thirst and the pangs of hanger was
added the threatening fate of be-
coming a morsel for a sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief, and ev-
cry vestige of hope was gone when
they sighted the Dalupanon.
The lighthouse keepers who were
assisted by the Glenfarg's crew, ten
in number, we're entirely without food
and on the verge of starvation. They
had not had any communication with
the main land for 50 days. AS quick
ly as a small boat could go back 10
the ship and return load of supplies
was taken to the island

Lawrence, Kas. Nov 3$.-The
declaration of United States Senator
-elect j. l.. Bristow that the rail-

judges throughout the United States
is taken as an indication today that
he will insist that the Kansas con
gressional delegation shall recon-
mend an untrammelled man to
President Taft when vacancies oc-
cur in the roster of federal judges
Senator Bristow yesterday assert
ed that the President usually APP
points the federal judge upon the
accommodation of the senatorial del
egation. The statement was made
by Senator Bristow at a meeting of
Kansas politicians, called for confer
ence by Governor-elect w. Il. Stubbs.
Acknowledgement Jackson sug-
gested a measure in the state legis-
lature to assist the state in enlarg-
ing the powers of the state railroad
commission, whose activities have
been nullified practically by the
courts.
Bristow coincided with Jackson
that something must be d. de-
claring that the railroads controlled
most of the federal judges. He
then added that the matter was up
to the congressional delegations in
recommending the right men to the
President when vacancies were to
be filed.

lieve to exist in the Chinese forces.
These activities follow the escape of
30 Chinese from the detention sheds

Two OF the Chinese returned last
night and are said to have made con-
fessions duplicating both compatriots
and white men in a plot to bring the
forbidden aliens into tho country.
The Chinese escaped by crawling
through hole cut i'm the wire screen

LARGEST DEFICIT
IN POSTOFFICf

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 30.--~1he
largest deficit in the history of the
postoffice department is shown to-
day in the annual report Of Post
master General Georg evon l.. Mey-
er. The report covers the postal rec
ord of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1908. The de-
partment was run at a loss of $16,-
S73,225.
Features of the report are the re-
quest for legislation creating postal
savings banks, the need for good
roads to facilitate the service. and
the creation of a position of director
of posts.
The position of director of posts,
urged by the postmaster-general is
required for the purpose OF main
tanning a continuous policy for the
benefit of the department. He is TO
be a high salaried official, to hold Of
flee during good behavior.
The maintenance of suitable
postal service I'm New York City Is
one of the problems faced by the de-
partment, according to the report.
Each year there is n heavier conges-
ton of mail matter in the metropolis,
necessitating additional outlay.
A recommendation is made for the
improvement OF roads throughout
the country for the betterment of the
rural deliveries.
Figures show that four railway
mail clerks and two substitutes were
killed in train wrecks during the
year 104 seriously and 536 slightly
injured.
