NEARING THE END
Arc Men or Women Braver in Faeino
Death?

How do men anl women face death
Wnen the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells lis
his experience.
Tell the man of higher type and Of
greater intelligence. he says, that he
is facing death and he. begins to fight,
demands consultation, talks about
going to specialists, and fights grimly
to the finish. Tell woman the same
facts and she lies back to await her
fate. All women are fatalists.
On the oEper hand, tell man that
he has onee chaqse in. a, thousand to
recover, and, she will trust to his own
strength and endurance rather than
undergo'sthe knife The woman will
choose the thousahdth chance, and
submit to the operation with astound- :
ing calmness.
The dying wRman thinks first of her
children and her future. The diving
man thinks first of his wife AMI then
Of his children And, most remark
able Of all, no matter how untrue he
may have been to his wife, in thaL su-
preme hour when he faces death he
seems desirous Of rightinE every
wrong he has done her. She is the
object of his solicitudc. Here is the
face he wants to look upon last.
The man thinks always of the ma
terial welfare of his family. He
wants to make sure that his business.
his insurance papers. everything lis
prepared for their care and protection.
The woman thinks less of the mon
ey or property she may have to leave
her loved ones than of their care sft-
er she has gone. The property, she
thinks. can take care Of itself, bus who
will keep her babies together. who will
make home for them and their fa.h-

Unselfishness strength of character,

There are occasionally brief periods

one might almost persuade on slef

things having been as bad as they
possibly could be we had come to the
turning point, and that for the future
the course would be upward and on

us by. says the Dublin Free Press.
Even after the ruinous harvest of

to check emigra ton, to bar the way of

A summer of almost unbroken sun
