THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTENiPERANCE.
Criminal and Irresponsible.

class alcoholism under two dis
tinct headings-"Criminal" and ar
responsible"
Criminal alcoholism may be subdi-
vided into moderate drunkenness"
and "convivialism, while irresponsi-
bic alcoholism includes periodic dip
somania" and chronic "inebriacy."
Moderate drunkenness is the per-
sistent use of alcoholic stimulants in
small quantities. 1t is a vice in its
very essence, being void of excuse
sensible or otherwise. Moderate
drunkenness" may fitly be described
as the criminal culture of alcoholic
insanity, and the man who vapors and
boasts that he "can take It or let it
alone" is the self-convicted mission
airy OF intemperance, who wilfully
makes of his body the spawning bed
for immortality, hypocrisy, untruth-
fulness, deceit and disloyalty.
Convivialism is the horn of a fool
and the resource of n weak mind. 1t
is the vapid imitation of merriment
that has no more of substance than
the cracking of thorns under a pot.
Convivialism is the alcoholic assump-
tion of an ability that we do not pos
sess, the treacherous manifestation Of
a friendship that does not exist, the
garden of lies, the ephemeral realiza-
tion of a heaven in hell.
Almighty Godl If it be Thy will that
man should suffer, let the cold hut of pov.
erty be my dwellingplace and the wasting
hand of disease inflict its painful torments.
Take from me the friends of my confidence.
When ] anticipate good, let evil annoy me.
When / look for light, let darkness come
upon me. Do all this, but save me, merciful
God! Save me from the fate of drunk.

Periodic dipsomania is an unex-
pected and unlimited arrangement of
the mental balance, wherein the will
power, which a few short moments
before was as adamant in it's revul-
sion of liquor, is now reversed in ir-
resistible unreasoning desire. The
characteristics of this phenomenon
are its sudden appearance, it's equally
abrupt exit, and the fearful agonies
of remorse and mental torture that
follow in its wake. On subsistence of
the attack the sufferer loathes the
bare odor of liquor, and passes long
intervals of time in black but happy
total abstinence. Periodic dipso-
mania" is, more often than not, the
result of severe emotional disturb

A Good Substitute.

The day after the saloon had closed
at Howell, Mich, recently, in compli-
ance with the mandate of the people
expressed at the polls, and the drays
had hauled out and away the stocks
of liquors, a revival broke out under
Evangelist Joel A. Smith; nearly fif-
ty were converted the first day. and
$50 within week. Pretty good sub
stitute for the saloon, isn't it?

The fruit of education is always Of

certain degree, their attitude toward

To neglect the church in her vari-

which the Lord has given to her TO

The naval correspondent of the

the world that the great British
Dreadnought, which is credited with
revolutionizing battleship construc-
tion, is a direct descendant of that
Monitor OF Ericssons which nearly
half century ago caused a still
greater change in the navies of the
world. The Monitor. he argues, was

IDEAL SUFFRAG|STS
Women of Hopi Indian Tribe Run
Things as They Please.
Aseendency Of Females Was Secured
Centuries Ago as Result Of Their
Strike Against Being Treated
as Beasts Of Burden.

Flagstaff. AriZ.-Down here in the
Great Painted desert man beleaguereG
by the suffragist hosts may find fully
illustrated the fate that will be hic
when the woman's rights movement
reaches its fullest fruition. Long be-
fore the beskirted women of the east
even thought about demanding the
ballot their blanketed sisters in the
Hopi Indian nation had fought out the
matter and won.
The Hopis are better known to fame
as the Mokis or Moquis, but the latter
appellation was bestowed upon them
in derision by their warlike Navijo
and Apache enemies. Hopi means
people of peace" Moqui means
dead men,"
Hopi women do not vote, but It is
only because they do not want to.
They do about everything else that is
masculine and do it because they like
it.
Hopi houses are built by the wom-
en-. The houses are theirs, and their
children take their mothers name, not
the fathers. When a Hopi maiden
makes up her mind to marry she does
not trouble herself about asking the
consent of the man upon whom her
eye has alighted with favor. She
asks his mother.
The husband does not prepare a
home for his bride. She takes him
into hers. The produce which he
raises is hers whenever 1t is stored in
her house. and no Hopi man ever has
property in his own name.
Tradition has 1t that the ascendency
OF these Hopi women was securekcen-
turtles ago as the result of a strike.
The ancient Hopi used his women as

They rebelled and gathered by
themselves on an unoccupied mesa.
There they held out. resisting all
Establishments and entreaties and
threats. and only consented to return
when assured that they should be
complete bosses n the house and the

Generations Of rulership have
stamped the Hopi women as the su-
perior sex. They are beautiful as
maidens. good looking as women and
often retain their rounded faces and
fine hair until old age comes on.
Compared to them the men are
stunted. The women are OF more than
average good figure. muscular and
healthy looking. The men grow wiz.
ened early and go about their task as
though they didn't get much out Of
life. OF smaller stature. they are
often very hardy. and as messengers
are capable of going tremendous dis.
tances without apparent fatigue.
The same difference marks the men
tai activities of the two sexes. The
men seem to have little to concern
themselves about and are dull witted.
while the women are alert and ener-
getic. and in disposing of their bas.
kerry and pottery, made by them
selves. they are much the better bar
gamers.
The men are slow OF speech and in.
clined to be silent. The women are
talkative. and a house building stunt
is accompanied by more conversation
than half a dozen sewing circles
among the palefaces.
The harder tasks are cheerfully
shouldered by the capable women, and
while they are busy at them the men
are condemned to weave the clothing
of their wives and knit the stockings
for the whole household. Only in the
preparation of food is the domesticity
OF the women displayed.
The little there is of government Is
in the hands OF the men. who also
form the priesthood. The Hopi is a
very religious gentleman. About half
of each month is taken up in religious
ceremonials of one kind or another
Most famed OF these ceremonies is the
snake dance.
The men wear their hair long. with
a band about the forehead. Their
shirts are of calico. their trousers OF
white muslin slit on the side from the
knee down. They wear rawhide moe
casins and soleless socks. The more
fastidious assume loud velvet shirts.
