The Great American Play, "Paid In
Full"


Away from the beaten path, worn
hard by the constant travel Of the
author who believes in conventional
themes, did Eugene Walter stray in
his search for story which might
appeal to the great mass Of theater-
goers in America, and in Paid In
F'ull,'' which will be given on the
stage of the Lyceum theater on Sep-.

the men and women we. daily rub
shoulders with, and in order that the
perfection might best be- conserved

ridiculous as unnecessary.
Once the question of marriage has
been settled the girl must grind meal
for 30 days for her prospective moth
er-in-law, while the man must weave
his future wife's wedding dress, en-
broider it by hand, and plant the crops
for the maintenance of his household.
Inevitably this relegation of the mas
culine sex to secondary position has
been productive of curious and in
structive social results. Not least
striking of these is the poor figure the
Hopi tribesmen always have cut in
warfare. In the perennial wars
waged against them by the Navajos
the Hopis always were worsted. But
for the inaccessibility. of the location
of their towns, upon the SUBMITS Of
lofty mesas, the Navajos would have
exterminated them In contempt the
warlike nomads called them "Moki,"
signifying dead men," while their
proper appellation, "Hopi," signifies
men of peace"

the Hindu.
Suddenly the Hindu began to intone
monotonously and seemingly without
end:
"Ynath, come! Ynath, come! Ynath,

My eyes were glued to the face on
the skull. Could it be? Yes, the skull
gradually was fading from view and
the silver bust was rising and grow

saw it as well-a glorious figure stood
before us, the eyes flashing, the nos
trils distended, and the breast heav-

The power of description is palsied
at the attempt to picture her. Loosely
clad in folds of shimmering silk,
through which every line and curve
showed as in bas-relief, she was the
living presentment of the face on the
skull; but added to the cold beauty
of line she had the warm loneliness Of
| life and color that even the ghostly
gaslight could not conceal. A diamond
| flashed from her right upper incisor
| when she opened her red lips in a
smile. Two other diamonds were set
in the sides of the nostrils, after the
fashion of the dancing girls in the
temple of Trichinopoly
Then she spoke, doubtless in her
native Hindustani. The words were
unintelligible, but the sweetness of the
voice was as of a maid singing in the
twilight.

Il left New York on April 20 last"
said Mr.. Andrews, "and arrived at the
Island of Vancouver, B. c., about two
eral miles off from the coast. Here
are located two of the three whaling
stations in the Pacific ocean.
"As rule in these days it is only
in the waters in the vicinity of the
arctic regions that whales are found
in any great number. Ages ago they
were common in the southern seas.
But with the growth of commerce
they were killed or gradually driven
northward At the present time whale
fishing as a regular business of any
size is carried on only off the Nor
wegian coast, the coast of Newfound-
land and in the northern Pacific.
whale killing is almost fine art
now. The ships are fitted with can
non known as the harpoon gun, which
sends the shaft with such terrific force
as to impale the creature and always
kill it. Then it is towed to the station.

NO EQUALITY OF THE SEXES
AMONG THE HoPI.
There the Female Is the Absolute
Head Of the Household and the
Male Little More Than
Slave.

II the suffragettes of England and
the equal rights advocates of America
could organize their sex as success
fully as did the leaders of the Hopi
women they could accomplish their
ends in short order. Once upon time
(and this is not fairy tale either),
the Hopi squaws grew tired of the
tyranny of the lazy lords of the mesas
and went out on strike, removing to
distant mesa so difficult of access
that they could easily defend it against
forcible invasion. For time the men
refused to worry, believing that the
women would soon tire of their Adam
less Eden; but as days grew into
weeks with no sign of surrender from
the women the men began to negotiate
for restoration of domestic union.
To all overtures of this kind the wom-
en- returned but one answer. They
were ready to return to their homes
whenever the men were ready to con-
cede to them the mastery of the house
hold. 1t was a bitter pill, without
sugar coating, but the men were COM
PEELED to swallow it.
This earliest and most successful
of all women's rights movements oc-
CURED so long ago that tradition gives
no hint Of the epoch, and the name of
the female Napoleon who carried
through this remarkable campaign has
been lost in the mists of ages. Never
theless the work of the Hopi suffra-
gettes still lives. In the strange stone
cities, perched high on the SUBMITS of
the Arizona mesas, the women still
rule the roost and the men play sor-
ry second fiddle. Among all other
tribes of American aborigines the
squaws are drudges and beasts of
burden, trained to fetch and carry and
cater to the caprices of the dirty
braves with abject humility. In Hopi-
actly reversed.
There the men perform the most
mental of household tasks, till the
fields, attend to the sheep, goats and
burros, weave blankets, belts and cere-
monial robes, mind the babies, and in
general do as their wives bid them.
The fine art work of the Hopis-bas
ket making and pottery manufacture
are reserved for the women, appar-
emily in the belief that mans inferior
ity renders him unfit for the serious
business of life. 1t is worthy of note
that the blankets woven by the Hopi
men are so inferior to those woven by
the Navajo women that there is no
room for comparison, while the pot

Added to this an icy north wind be-
