The French peasant woman. Ere tonne or otherwise. works hard as any man. It makes one sad 10 see the women working in the fields. digging and delving carrying heavy burdens driving the cattle, sometimes attend ing to the machinery employed on the farms. One wonders whether bus bands and fathers appreciate it all especially when you hear some of the ballads. for ballads are supposed to reveal the soul of people. l heard one the other day of which the refrain Is as follows:

SOME FUNERAL FOLLY.

Last Friday for two hours the vast activities of the
Standard Oil Co. came to stop, during the funeral serv
ices the $000OO000 vice president of that
ton About 5000 workmen idle from 10 a. till
II, in order told that they might mediate Mr..
Rogers career and evince their respect for the dead
OF course those two hours of vacation will not hurt that
army of workmen but what tremendous piece of folly
this funeral scheme is.
Men don't win respect by dying but by their acts when
living In his half century of management Of these $4,000
fellow men, Henry Rogers said: "Im feeling
good I'm worth millions. I'm making 40 per cent profit.
Men, take two hours rest on me-"
No, he got all he could out of themfull eight
hours day Now Rogers is dead and feel sacrifice
gift joy in generous humane act and his corpor-
alton expects $1,000 to feel RESPECT for him
act that he wouldn't perform while living. Probably fully
10000 of these felt like celebrating than respect
ing during those two hours.
We not speaking i'll of the dead in the foregoing but
merely refectng senseless futile effort to create
false sentiment Think of 1.-THE $4,000 got nothing from
Rogers by the hardest of labor until he dead
The act OF the corporation in granting these two hours rest
calls attention. pontedy to this fact is the matter to
respect to satisfaction the fact that
Rogers is dead!
And they want the $1,000 to spend part of these
two hours in meditation upon Mr. Rogers career.
Worth nearly $100000OO0, late reports say Mr. Rogers
killed himself by overwork and overworry. Let all
mediate over that.
Evidently Mr. Rogers was very foolish or very greedy
He DID, enormously rich and didn have to work. 1t
will take less than two hours of meditation the part of
the most stupid among the $4,000 to arrive at the
cusion that wise and not inordnaely greedy would
have knocked off, work years ago.
This too is written without intent to speak i'll of the
dead There plenty like Rogers plenty of others
who killing themselves in efforts to pile billions
millions; plenty of others who will die because they dom
see that the grabbing of millions than suffciency
means sin toward those who far short of sufcency
These men keep up the daily grind for and more
and more until abused nature steps in and says too
much Then we have great funeral with splendid waste
in dleness, pomp and ceremony-and an occasion for
6o,OOO OF us, more or less, to mediate.

THE DEVILS DUE.

One of the most valuable citizens to California, and to
the whole country for that NATTER Lawyer George D..
Collins whom the supreme court has just refused release
habeas corpus
Going four years ago. Collins was convicted and SEN
fenced for penitentary offense but he hasn't served
day in the penenary and there no certainty about this
latest decision putting him there.
Collins is valuable for two reasons.
First, student of the law desiring thorough educa-
ton in the profession particularly the criminal branch of
It, has but to study Collins Collins not rich
when first arraigned He simply had brans such brains
as any one with money hire With his brains focused
on loophol of the statutes and court procedure Collins
has defeated all attempts of the great of California
to put him at hard penal labor for than three years
What's the use of sending youth to law colleges, when
we have the living object lesson of COLLINS on How to
Beat Justice? The aim of the profession to be
largely directed toward beating Justice and Collins treat
Use on that point is mighty sight cheaper than supporting
law colleges.
Secondly Collins is valuable because he is showing the
whole people that their laws be beaten by brain work
and already stated anyone with money enough can hire
legal brains Hence, Collins is vigorous demonstration
OF the proposition that legal justice is for those who have
money to hire high quality of legal brains only and the
people OF California any other state should instantly
appreciate that Collins has been ndisputably demon
stratlng that aside from political and social 'pu the
laws trckery its echncates procedure pettifoggery
etc, are against justice for the people.
Such an object lesson has power for reform than
all the editorials lectures and oratons that could be
got off.
1t is said that this last court decision settles GEORGES
hash and that he will have don the strped st in
the penitentary Maybe. But hope that if there is
still another chance by which brilliant scoundrel can
try it. We want the whole object lesson We want to be
shown all that sharp lawyers under conviction but
under big fees do to lstice in the way of abuse
defiance and defeat.
honorable profession before he has run the whole gamut
Of the possibilities!

Tht.t Horrid Cat

"You can't tell me there's no
truth In the sayingsthat "a cat has
nine lives for I've tested it," sad
ly exclaimed young Spokane
woman the other day. Having an
obnoxious cat in the family, she
had determined to get rid of it.
Accordingly, she took a club and
hit the animal on the head. 1t
merely got up and walked away.
Next she tried chloroform. The
cat appeared to thrive on 1t.
Six other methods--warrante to
kill any cat-were then employed
by her in rapid succession. At the
end of them that cat was still
there-well and cheerful as ever.
In despair, she telephoned to the
proper city official and asked that
someone be sent to shoot the
animal.
Il have taken eight of its lives, -
she said; "it's up to you to get the
ninth"
But when the officer arrived with

Then the whole surface should be

Now rub a piece of lint on the
cake of rouge and apply it on the

a hawthorn pink should be aimed
at rather than a clownish red and

For tin face the color must
be placed rather high over the

for a plump face nearer the center
of the cheek. Sharp contrasts
must be avoided. The lips come

"Shall l make up or nOt?' Ii
is a burning question for many
women.
All natural means of preserving
and identifying the complexion
should be used by every woman
whether she makes up or not. A
light makeup properly applied on a
well-cleansed and nourished surface
will outrage no canon of good taste
or injure the. most delicate skin.
Treat your skin tenderly, keep
it we'll cleansed with the particular
lotion or cream that suits you, and
feed it with a good skin food.
Provide yourself with a fine face
cream, both for cleansing and as
basis for makeup; some water cos
metic for the eyebrows and lashes
and a box of the best French
rouge. You will also require some
pink lip salve, and large, fiat the
atrical puff.
After the face has been cleansed
with face cream, or almond oil
it should be bathed with cold water
to close the pores. Then a small
quantity of cream must be smeared
over the face, eyelids, forehead and
neck, any superfluous grease being
removed with a bit of old linen
