Are American Women Just "TaK"
Bv Ada Patterson

John Strange Winter has not married
an American woman. Forbes-Robert-
son has. Her conclusions are casual.
His are permanent.
Every one has at some time been
wearied almost unto death by the bab-
BILE of persons who had nothing to say
but who insisted upon saying it with
much noise making. Women of
poise and intelligence, whether in New
York or London or Shanghai. are con-
tent to say nothing unless they have
something to say.
I heard warm praise of a woman:
"She is the first woman l ever knew
who stops to think before she speaks -
This was the praise, and it was spoken
by an Englishman of an American
woman, the first he met in this coun-
try. 1t was the Englishman's first
journey away from his own island.
The conclusion is obvious.
The Maybe Sisters are of no nation.
Neither are the Maybe Brothers. They
are citizens of the world. Their
voices, lifted on high, may be heard
IN any land.
True conversation is a valuable ex.
change of opinions. 1t should be jul.
dicial but tolerent, animated but am.
liable. and should follow Ben Frank.
Inns law: Say nothing except what
will benefit yourself or someone else ~
Conversation is an art, is not dead
but sleepeth. in all lands. 1t has been
dulled by the presence of music at
every function, from a wedding to a
funeral. Even at public restaurants
friends who have much to say to each
other are struck dumb by strident
popular airs, mingled with the clattez
OF dishes and the insistent voice of the
waiter.

Wanted, Firm TO Catch Uncle Sans Seals
Prb Secretary Washington

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE secre-
Post, is now engaged in preparing an
invitation to American companies and
to submit bids for the leas-
ing of one of the most troublesome
possessions Of the United States. the
Pribilof group, better known as the
Fur Seal Islands. The term Of ten
years of the present lessee, the North
American Commercial company of
San Francisco, expires on April so,
1910. The lease allows the holder to
kill about fifteen thousand fur seals
annually, and these sell in the London
market for not less than $465,0Oo.
The islands were acquired from
Russia along with the rest of Alaska
in 1867. and in 1870 they were first
leased. the Alaska Commercial com,
pany being the lessee. In 1890 the
North American Commercial company
made better bid and secured the pri
vilege OF taking seals for the succeed.
ing ten years. 1t is believed that the
Alaska Commercial company, which
has again become an aggressive com
petitor in the fur buying industry in
Alaska, viii bid for the lease.
Under the present contract the les
see pays at the rate of s1022h fol
each skin taken. The secretary OF
commerce and labor determines the
kind and number of seals to be taken
each year and the method of killing
Under the regulations the animals are
killed with clubs. and the kill is re
stricted to bachelors of two and
three years old. The age is fixed oy
the weight of the skin. none weighing
less than 81 pounds being legal Al
the bachelors herd by themselves mos,
of the killing season it is an easy
matter to see that only male seals are
killed. although at the end Of the mat
ing season more care must be exercis
ed.
In addition to the sum paid the gov
eminent for each skin the company
furnishes free to the natives on thu
islands dried salmon and salt. and sal
barrels Tor preserving the supply q
