Wherefore the women Of today

as either right or wrong-not as wo-

and in business there is no chivalry.
A man takes OF his hat only to a
woman, never to a business rival.

It was impossible for Pima county

of democracy in the Old Pueblo. Sc

THE MODERN woMAN's
POSITION.


POSITION.
The plight in which Mae Wood
finds herself as result Of her un-
happy suit against well-known SEN
ator, in the opinion of the Washing
ton Post, frankly illustrates the strik-
ing change that has taken place in
woman's position since she entered
into competition with "the lords of
creation" Miss Wood, upon being &C
cused of perjury, has been thrown in
to Jail as unceremoniuosly as If she
were a man. Time was and that time
was ever since the days of her grand
mother-when a woman might have
been suspected Of perjury or almost
any other oiense against the code
short of shedding blood and there
would have been no judge TO even
think of snbjecting her to q prison
sentence for It. Her woman's help
lessness would have appealed to his
manly chivalry. There would have
been none SO deadened to the privi-
leges of the weaker sex" as to stand
up and accuse her of crime whose
punishment was only intended for
men.
But that Tina is gone. says the
Post, and the woman of that time is
gone with it. She is no longer the
weaker sex" She has declared her
independence; she has proclaimed her
equality with men-and. in some in
stances. boldly asserted her superior
ity; she has placed herself on an
equal footing with him and demanded
recognition from him as an equal
She has entered into competition

in the fight for bread. Upon his own
grounds she has challenged him TO

The American Author.

The chief thing in the average Amer
lean novel is the amazing vitality of
the author. He writes always at the
top of his voice, His strenuousness is
unceasing. The reader can almost see
the swollen veins on his forehead, the
tight drawn mouth and flashing eye
1t is do it or die And he never knows
where to stop. With his feverish anx-
iety to make points he does not seem
to realize when he has achieved his
purpose and frequently fizzles out in
effectively. He has ideas. He has
vast quantities of material He has a
command of language, a fatal fuency
that frequently leads to his downfall,
for he lacks a sense of values. He
lacks self restraint. He is full of
tricks and artfulness, but he is not an
artist.-London Saturday Review.

actinlum. For every gram of uranium
present in any mineral there seems to
be a certain fraction of radium and
the amount of actinium also bears a
definite ratio TO the amount of uran-
ium although radium and actinium
appear to have no direct connection.
Hon. X. j. Strut has just shown that
helium is yielded by rare earths con
tanning thorium. This makes it
evident that radium, actnum and
thorium, the three most intensely
radioactive substances in nature, have
belium as their final disintegration
product, or at least as one of their
final products. Whether lead is an
other product is still matter of
doubt.
The idea of using house refuse for
fuel, as is being so successfully
attempted in the refuse burning
plants of large cities, is applied on a
small scale in the new fuel called
"coalesCine"-of an English boz ough
engineer. Garbage, bits of unburned
coal from the ashes, and other waste,
are pulverized, mixed with tar, and
made into briquettes. This fuel is
claimed to be not only perfectly
hygienio, but to show high efficiency
under boilers. The cost is so moder-
ate that mali towns are enabled to
dispose of their waste by practically
disappearing method.
Typhoid is now known to spring
from a variety of sources, and DIR.
Seaton, British health officer,
doubts whether ten per cent of cases
can DO attributed to infected drinking
water Polluted food seems to be a
common cause, and cases of doubtful
origin have suggested that other
germs besides the so-called typhoid
bacilli may produce the disease.

When Verdi was putting the last
touches to ''Il Trovatore' he was Wis
tied in his study by Il privileged friend
The friend was one of the ableSt living
musicians and critics. He was permit
ted to look at the score and run over
the "anvil chorus" on the pianoforte.
'What do you think of that?" asked
the master "Trashr said the con-
noisseur. Verdi rubbed his hands and
chuckled, "Now look at this and this"
he said. Rubbish" said the other,
rolling cigarette. The composer rose
and embraced him with a burst of joy.
"What do you mean?" asked the critic.
"My dear friend" cried Verdi, II have
been making a popular opera. In it I
resolved to please everybody except
the purists, the great judges, the clas-
sicists, like you. Had 1 pleased you 1
should have pleased no one else. What
you say assures me of success. In

1t Is Impaired to the instrument by
the "Scale."
every piano factory" said q piano
manufacturer, employs what we pi-
ano men call scale 1t would be too
long for me to explain to you all about
it, but in piano making the scale is
the man who after all else has been
done imparts to the piano its soul.
81 cannot tell you how they do il.
They do not know themselves, and no
man can teach another. 1t is born, like
all art. The scales are very few and
hard to get, and we pay them hand
some wages. But they are as difficult
to manage as the great tenorS of grand
opera and as sensitive as women. Like
all artists, they are forever squabbling
among themselves about little things,
and, as you may guess, jealousy is
their besetting evil
But have not yet explained what
the scale does When a piano is all
strung and tuned and ready to leave
the factory, the scale sits down to it
all alone and screws it to pitch. His
ear is so true, his hand so fine and his
sense of the reasons for sound is so
delicate and exquisite that when he
has finished his work that which was
a mere box containing strings has be-
come voice that can sing if you know
how to make it sing. The scale has
given it a soul-a part of his own

Bryan Misses Train Will Address
Woman's National Democratic
Club in New York.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 26-Missing his train
on the Erie railroad by narrow margin
of few seconds. William ]. Bryan today
was compelled to make wild dash in an
automobile, through mud covered roads to
Patterson. N. j., in order to keep his word
with the people of thatcity that he would
return and make a political speech. The
democratic candidate arose at six O'Clock
this morning and thought he would have
ample time to get to Jersey City and board
the Erie train. leaving there ats7a0, but
he was mistaken.
Mr.. Bryan's program today provides for
an address before the womar's democratic
club here, a speech at Yonkers, White
Plains, Port Chester, New Rochelle and
Mount Vernon. a big reception and dinner
at the national democratic club here, and
speeches at Cooper Union, Palm Garden
and at Madison Square Garden.
