It is not strange that a woman

THE CALL OF THE GOLD.

DIR. Carl Ecksteln Of the University
Of Chicago got tired of the complex
life of civilization and went to ldaho
to live the simple life.
DR.. Ecksteln went far away from the
haunts Of men and on the barren and
unfrequented side Of lake built MN
self n shnnty and divested himself OF
the clothes of civilization. lie an
swcred the call of the wild.
The desire to get away from every
body is an impulse that comes to all
betimes. Every day the doctor spent
two hours In the water He lounged on
the sandy beach by the hour. He hunt
ed and fished to the full. He ate when
he was hungry and slept when he felt
like ii. He obeyed only the primal In
stincts.
SO far so good.
But one day he had a shock. He was
surprised in his wilderness-as mucn
surprised as was poor old Robinson
Crusoe when he came upon the human
footprints in the sand.
The leayned doctor, who had turned
savage. one day accidentally stumbled
upon one of the richest gold mines evel
discovered in that part of the country.
Whew!
That discovery quickly changed hi
point of view. 1t awOke IN him th'
dormant desire of the white man FOL
loot. Almost in the twinkling of al
eye the sight of the yellow nuggets
overcame the gentler teaching Of Pas
tor Wagner's simple life and the
primal joys Of freedom.
Then DR.. Eckstein put on again the
Garments of conventionality. 1t is re-
ported that he has sold his claim for
fabulous sum. He will go back to the
fatherland a millionaire. 1t Is pTer
limited that Eckstein is negotiating fol
a baronetcy.
He will try the gold cure for his en-
nui.
The call Of the gold was stronger
than the call of the wilderness.

is WOMAN A MARTYR 7

Life to most women. says Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, is a martyrdom.
She specifies.
No person, she says, who has ever
heard the condolences Of the sex can re-
call without emotion the confessions OF
these women "tied to traditions they
dare not question, broken on the
wheels Of drudgery whose iron revolu-
tons crush individual gifts out Of the
soul and personal powers out OF life
She says there will be no happier citl-
zen in the heavenly country than these
prisoners of sex"
Well
There is no denying the fact that the
average woman's life is largely given
to ceaseless drudgery and monotony.
The doing Of the same thing, mostly In
the same way, day in and day out and
getting nowhere comes to be an actual
tragedy.
You see
The rooms once swept clean must be
swept again. The dishes that are
washed after breakfast will be dirty
after dinner. Things Will not stay
clean. And the victuals that are cooked
for one meal will not suffice for the
next. If only the stuff could be piled
I'D for installment consumption!
But
Come to think of it, the life of most
men is also largely made up Of drudg-
cry. They are perhaps not SO much
/ tied up to traditions, but they are
bound to a system that kills, machine
that brushes. Few of them but are
broken more or less by this mental or
physical routine.
Indeed, it is the remark of foreign
observers that American women are
better off than any other women In the
world and that American men are the
hardest worked men in the world.
The difference is here:
Women are more idealstic than men.
Drudgery tells on them. The daily
| round frets their more delicate nature.
There is more poetry In their souls.
1t is difficult for women to get over
the idea that life ought to be all sweet
ness and unalloyed happiness. And
there is so little poetry in peeling pota-
| toes!
Woman needs some outside interest

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We SEQ Only the Outer Shells Of the
Great Blazing Orb.

Great BLAZING ORD.
The great ball Of fire which we call
the sun Is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series of
concentric shells envelops nucleus OF
which we know absolutely nothing ex-
cent that It must be almost infinitely
hotter than the flercest furnace and
that 1t must amount to more than nine
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus Is the real sun, forever
hidden from us. The outermost OF the
enveloping shells Is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere.
II is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi-
ously active that 1t spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas Drominences)
to the height of thousands Of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea Of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special in
struments are used which enable as
tronomers TO study it in the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even, lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments Of total eclipse,
aggregatlng not more than seven days
In a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
plained how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi-
nences and the corona is, supported
without falling back into the sun I'M
der the pull of solar gravintion. Now
that Arrhenlus has cosmically applied
the effects of light pressure solution
Is presented.
+, How difficult it is to becount fol-
such delicate streamers as the promi
nences on the sun is better compre
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip OF
solar gravitatlon.
II the sun were a habitable globe
and YOU could transport yourself to It's
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forclDly by grayltation thai
Won would weigh two tons, assuming
that you are an ordinary human being
Your clothing alone would weigf
more than a hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing
room. for there would be some dill
Guilty in throwing n ball more tmr
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to n form
of outdoor pingpong.
From these considerations 1t is plan
that gravltation on the sun would ten'

Psychology Of Proofreading.

To the initiated this is forlorn and
haggard topic, but to those within the
vale it enters the cardiac recesses. But
1t ought to be attractive If one con-
Germs himself with the psychology and
pays no, attention to the proofreadlng.
since the operations Of the mind are
not limited to any one task, but ex-
tend to all. True observation invokes
three operations of the mind, and
these are directed to the form, the
meaning and the relations of the thing
observed. There Is no task that re-
quires a combination Of these activl-
ties, in lively use at the same time, as
proofreading. One may write an essay
on CONSTITUTIONAL limitations, the range
of protoplasmic energy, of the bound
aries of platonic love, but at most any
Of these only require two Of the intel

THE MAKING OF A BOY.

Said Superintendent e. K. wharton

Louis Vosburg, aged seventeen years:
"You can do anything in life that you
really want to do
That was eighteen months ago. NoS-
burg was a butchers boy. making Sl2
per month. He had his home in the
notorious Andes alley" and was Ut
terly without ambition.
This young man took absolutely no
thought for the future. He had enough
TO eat. q place to sleep and chance to
spend his wages as fast as he drew
the money.
He had no envy of the young men
who were pushing to the front. lie
probably thought, if he thought at all,
that these young men had some sort OF
"null" or graft" of some kind. That
he should aspire to do better never
entered his head until Mr.. Wharton
put the idea there.
Today young Vosburg is still q
butchers boy at So a month-and
more. He has an ambition. He Is

DISINHERITING A CHILD.

Some years ago the father OF min
lister disinherited his son because the
latter changed his denominations
creed, quit one church and went into
the ministry of another.
BY the recent death Of his mother
this minister received the share Of the
estate to which he was originally en-
titled.
The incident raises the query:
Has any father the moral right tc
disinherit a child?
Which raises another query, Who
is responsible for the childs being In
the world? Certainly the child came
without its own consent. 1t was not
consulted. 1t is not responsible for its
birth.
Manifestly the parents are response
bic. The child comes into the family
by invitation. 1t is entitled to all the
rights and privileges Of the family
Whatever estate may be accumulated
belongs to the entire family. Each

BARNUM'S OLD LION.
How the Great Snowman Turned His
Death to Account.


Death to Account.
Among the features OF the 3drades
Of the Barnum circus thTs was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the t.p of one of the
wild beast cages Icy an enormous lion.
He was 70. confined In any way, ana
peiyOus people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con-
template the terrible possibility of the
lion springing into the midst of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king of beasts
had reached the leonlne dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter
quarters. where he was allowed to
roam at will, sometimes had to be pro-
tected from the onslaughts of irrever-
ent and mischieyous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters In the course Of his travels
he Glanced on a barn where O meek
eyed COW was placldly cneWlns hSi
cud. A faint flicker of the slumberlng
jungle spirit stirred his pulse, and
with crashing blow of the huge fore
paw. the COW was slain; then, lying
down beside his victim, he went 10
sleep and dreamed Of the time when he
was a shaggy little whelp playing with
his brothers under the bright sun Of his
faroff African home.
In the morning the owner OF the COW,
stalwart female with the blood OF
Irish kings in her veins entered the
barn with milk pail in hand. She was
| filed with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With keen edged ak In her
hand and grim determination in her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion, and when the men sent out &c
search for him arrived he lay cold IL
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead COW and engaged to appear on
exhibition "the woman who in morta
combat had slain a lion"

Talks.
DR.. JEKYLL AND Mr.. HYDE
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

IN. LII ftAND a'A>'
There are two of us.
We are composite.
There are at least two On us. In
some Of us there are a half Dozen
more or less. In oil Of us there are both
DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. We are
two--or more-in one.
For instance:
There is yourself when you are cross
aud crochety and even unjust to those
YOU love. "But for our own the bitter
tone, though we love our own the
best" is sometimes pathetically true
And there is yourself when you are on
the street or in your place Of business
or at church, when you are smiling
amiable, cordial.
Are you then a hypocrite?
Not necessarily.
You may be compared to revolving
pedestal, painted on each side ar
ferent color. 1t is one pedestal, but
different colors. You are one man, but
many sided. You show only one side
Of Yourself at time. When things
20 wrong at home you are Mr.. Hyde;
abroad you are DR.. Jekyl. Those VINO
know you best, the home folks, know
that you are many sided and that you
have your good side.
Again:
The Mr. Hyde appears in you when
YOU are irrltated or disappointed OF
when you feel a wrong is done YOU
You want to "get even" You strike
back. At another time some potent
force moves you to be the benevolent
DR.. Jekyll. Sometimes you feel you
can do and dare, and while the mood
lasts YOU can do and dare to do.
Most Of us, like chameleons, take
color for the moment from our sur
roundings.
When you make sharp speeches to
wife or husband or children you are
not all there Only one side OF you
speaks. Afterward you are sorry tol
the sharp words. The pedestal has re
yolved. showing another side
Now and then q man comes to this
earth who is nearly always himself,
totally of personality. He~loes as hi
wants to do. He puts himself-all him
self-into every effort. In him things
converge to a purposeful end.
That Is greatness.
You and l have rare moments whel
we are "all there" Every facult'
works in harmony. For a moment W.
are really great 1t is in these sublime
moments, these really great moods
that masterpieces are made, audience
won, inventions created, battles won.
But, alas, most of us cannot long b.
