The first woman's club was formed
600 years before Christ. This is the
belief of Mrs. John Spalding, who read
a paper not long ago before the Wo-
mans Study club Of Atlanta. She said
that the initial movement was led by
Sapphiraon on the island Of Lesbos. The
second club did not, said Mrs. Spal-
ding, come into existence until cen
fury later. The story Of this club is
so interesting as it Is told by Mrs.
Spalding that it is reproduced In full:
'Pericles, the great statesman, against
the laws of Athens, married foreign
er, Asphasia. The marriage was con-
sidered then as we now consider the
morganatic marriages of royalty. She
was the first woman to dare suggest
the companionship Of husband and
WIFE, She was so talented, so brilliant
and SO charming that she held in
Athens what would later have been
called salon. Poets. philosophers,
dramatists, artists, architects and
statesmen Of the greatest Of all the
ages Of the world focked to enjoy her
society and her counsel. Socrates adj
mits her influence, and her husband
declared his pride and joy in her con-
genial companionship and help in his
rule Of Athens. Some of the men had
the fndiscretion to bring their wives
to these gatherings against all public
opinion"
The only woman fellow" of the
Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land Is an American-Mrs. French
Sheldon of New Orleans. She is the
first woman member of the society
and will be the last unless the society
changes It's mind, for soon after her
election the royal geographers resolved
unanimously that no woman should
ever again become member. Mrs.
Sheldon has spent several years on
the Kongo and has made study of
the canDibals of that country. She is
the first white woman who has visited
the cannibals. In her opinion they are
not as hungry as they have been de
scribed. 4-~'s'tsssz J, = &

old son, who looked upon his free with
uurecoguizipg eyes sud listened dumbly
to words he hardly understood. II lie

Earle arrived In Paris Thursday even
ing on the Lorraine, under al assumed
pane. He has no intention of seeing
bis first wife (nee Mile. FIschbacher),

bookstore In the Rue De Seine. Both
Fischbscher aud his daughter declare
that any reconciliation is impossible, SIS
well as undesired. But under the con-
ditions of the divorce decree Earle has a
right to see his son at intervals. The
mother will not be present at these
meetings and will not see her former
husband, aud Esrle's friends say be will
make no effort TO see her.

Wheat.

Chicago, April 1.-THE system o.

Congress, in my opinion, will never
change 1t. II is too deep rooted In our
commercial system and Its benefits and
Legitimate uses far outweigh the abuses
to which 1t Is subjected" In these
words, ]. Ogden Armour expressed bis
opinion on the endeavors OF Congress
to strike at James A. Patterns wheat
deal.

business enemy of Pstten, but In an
interview be defended Pstten'S present
attitude towards Congress. "Pattep

bis operations 10 May wheat responsible
for the rise in prices, he said.
"There Is merely q serious shortage 10
the wheat supply which the present
advance in the price has discounted.
We will have to look to the rels-
lion of supply and demand to explain
the advance" Armour said the strongest
reason why trading in futures In live
stock Is not as common as Ia grain, was
the fact that "it Is not customary to
trade that way"
Liverpool, April 1.-THE worlds
wheat margin or visible supply over the
amount that will be actually demanded
has practically dissppesred, according to
statement issued today by the big wheat
interests Of this city, the great European
market.
While precise figures sre unavailable,
at this time, 1t Is said that conditions
generally show greatly reduced acre
age 10 Europe by reason of adverse
weather.
Russia and the Danube county are
shipping only half OF their usual amount,
which represents q shortage OF 80, OOO,-
900 bushels as compared with 1907.
Argentina Is the only country that
shows an increase. The worlds supply
is declared to be within a narrow COM
pass and the margin to have been work
ed down until it has almost disappeared.
The Liverpool market men express the
same pessimlsm that 10 voiced BY the
Chicago grain men, and the mlllers OF

They predict that the price OF wheat
will continue to set new records and
that unless an unexpected Improvement
in conditions develops bread will become
