Personal co9raga invests its owne
eith g protection beyond that afford
.eG By outside forces. An illustration
of this is recorded by Gen. William
Z. Draper in his "Recollections of a
Varied Career where he gives this
incident:
In 1864 Col. Daniels of the Seventh
Rhode Island became unpopular with
some of his command, and q rumor
spread that he would be shot at the
next engagement. He heard of 1t.
1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Col. Daniels took advan-
age of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward "a suitable elevation, and tax
irg rcsit!on on the top of it. and
n font OF them as at dress parade,
Ne gave the commands, Ready, Aim,
ire, and the pieces were discharged.
Needless to say, any man could
ave SHOT him with little danger OF
l'scoTery, and needless to say, also,
enc OF them did. There we're no
ore threats of that kind in his regi-
nent-Youth's Companion.

GOLDEN KEY TO cHILD's MIND
II Is Sometimes Hard to Find, but In
This Particular Case II Was
Music.

A Chicago school and home visitor
tells this story: MARY was the ter
o of her teachers and her compan
ions. It was fight, fight from morning
until night. She threw erasers and
books at her teachers and at the other
children, she broke every rule and
was a problem. When | visited her
home I found Mary was the little
drudge, doing all the work and caring
for the sick mother. We found work
for the boys out of work, sent the lit
tie ones to kindergarten and moved
the family into a new locality. Mary's
new teachers were willing to help
make a new girl of her. One morning
when l visited her school Mary came
to me and whispered: Miss B, | want
to tell you something all by yourself
where nc one can hear us. 1t is some
thing o must not tell anyone ]
took Mary off by herself and she
looked at me with an expression
shall not soon forget and said: Miss
B., / love music Here was the gold
en- key which would unlock Mary's
stubborn little heart. / took her to a
music teacher, who promised to train
her voice as soon as Mary Is old
enough, and in the meantime a happy
little girl trudges to a piano teacher
once a week and has been told how to
care for her body and her voice so
that she may some day become a real
ly fine singer"

PARADISE FOR sUFFRAGIsTs
a Little Corner Of the Sahara Desert
Where Feminism 10 In
Full Swing.

A French explorer Just returned
ron Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile. Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine. Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates OF wonlan's rights advising them
to leave at once for the Sahara. or
rather to that district Inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs. say the explorer, are
crafty. cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminism. The
Tuareg women are indeed privileged
beings. They have camels of their
own, which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, SO to say, nil.
They r allowed to have an ad-
mirer who saddles their camels and
runs errands for them. According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of this
admirer mus remain strictly platonic,
for If he starts making love to the
lady the husband flies into a temper,
and an angry Tuareg becomes a dan
gerous creature.
According to the laws of the coun.
try the Tuareg oma need not fol
low her husband unless she wants to
do SO, moi is she compelled to serve
her spouse. She is educated, for she
can read, and this accomplishment,
not shared by the other six. gives her
n privileged position in so far that she
acts as judge or arbitrator in all diff
cult cases.

. BYron's Bride of EtYdos.

1t is just 100 years ago that Lord
Byron arrived in Greece. where he
wrote that beautiful poem. The Bride
of Abydos," and that exquisite song.
the Maid of Athens" which, says a
Paris contemporary, every English,
man of culture knows by heart.
Documents enable US to establish
the true identity of the heroine OF
this last poem. She Vas one OF the
three daughters of Mr.. Black, English
vice-consul at Athens, at whose house
byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet. Theresa Black
married an aTchaeoiog.st, NJ. Pittakis,
whose widow she became severa'
years later. Her beauty, her charm
her elegance, conquered every heart
Including Byron's. In 1873 the heroine
Of the roem was an old woman OF
UPRIGHT figure and still showing signs
Of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The Times, moved By
her distress, opened at this epoch a
r"bscrii ton in her favor. She dice
