FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

Three young women recently appeared
in court TO prosecute a man who had Sc
cured money from each on a matrimonial
scheme One had loaned him 800 10 buy
furniture for the home ne was to furnish.
another had given him SIS for the same
purpose, and the third did not state for
what purpose she passed over a 500 ring.
but presumably il went 10 the man she
expected TO marry. The game Is as old
as the hills. and mas been exposed hun
dreds Of times, yet there ase easy victims
for every plausible rascal who tries IT,
The astonishing feature Is the kind Of
woman who are drawn into the trap.
They cannot claim sympathy on the score
of age. for they have ali passed the axe
and passed il by many years. in some
cases. Some Of them are gifted with
enough brains 70 make money and save
IL. and some have their rightful share OF
good looks All. apparently. have an
overwhelming desire to marry and are
none 100 particular as 70 the kind Of
husband offered them.

comfortable home and gave the money 70
the man whom she supposed she married.
They travelled about. on her money, Hv-
ing in cheap rooms and cheap restau-
rsnts-a Bohemian life" he called tt
and before the money was gone the
woman had acquired a taste for liquor.
tobacco, and drugs. Desertion left her
too helpless TO cope with the situation,
and the remnant Of her brain gave out.
She was in an insane asylum the last
time 1 heard Of her.
The man was handsome and fascinat.
ing, with more education and polish than
the woman had been accustomed TO see
Ing She had left youth behind and had
lived a coIorless life Up to the time Il
meeting the man who deceived her. so
the new iife had the appeal OF novelty
20 her. Of course. that is not a good
excuse for what happened. but II Is the
real one, and it was the one offered in q
score Of other cases in which the same
man figured.
The weakness OF women for men who
show them special attention is undis-
Duted- We see evidence Of It in beautiful
wives accompanied BY ugly husbands. n
clever ones mated with commonplace
men, The most convincing sign OF ali IS
found n the plain woman who dares TO
marry man whose beauty makes him a
target for feminine attention everywhere.
A jeaioUs-natured woman has no right 70
marry a professional man because his
own interests urge him to take advantage
OF the weakness OF women. He must
huTnoT sick women, If he is to be a sue
cessful doctor. and do as much for well
ones when he practices law. As for ac-
tors, they are targets for all the silly
women II Christendom.

lZ140o cubic yards This was thought
to be such wonderful performance that
President Roosevelt cabled his heartiest
congratulations to Col Goethals and his
men "fcr the extraordinary showing you
hare made during the month Of August
As this is the height Of the rainy season,
did not for a moment suppose you
would be able TO keep up Your already
big record OF work done, and 7 am as
surprised as I am pleased that you should
have surpassed it, During last August
the excavations totaIed 321S00o cubic
yards, more than two and half times as
much as called out the Presidential mes
sage Of surprise and delight only a yesr
before.
In a magazine article Of recent date IL
vas estimated that only 500 men could
work to advantage in Culebra cut, and
that AZ most they could hardly be ex-
pected to take more than 10000 cubic
yards OF material out OF the cut per
month To-day they are employing at
least three times that mary men in the
cut. and are taking out nearly three
( times as much material every month as
the magazine writer had estimated-and
he vas one OF the Canal Commissioners
at that time The added excavsting power
OF the canal-digging machine is due al
most solely TO the superior development
OF the individual members Of the force.
Not only has there been no important
increase IN the number OF laborers, but
likewise no important additions TO the
| equipment. Since the installation OF the
new oost-keeping system. every walking
/ boss, every man on the canal who has
men al work under him. has been put on
his mettls, and each one of them Is try
ing to make a better showing than his
neiEhbor. This healthful spirit OF rivalry
is counting much IN the totals Of things
accomplished.
The force now at work represents high
water mark in the employment OF men.
The present year viii see the work OF
relocating the Panama Railroad well on

I After all it Was the American doctor
that made possible the solution OF the
labor problem Il was not the failure

though thousands faced open starvation
/ when the French did fail II was the
dread OF disease. Il IS interesting here
10 note how much better health condi-
/ tons are to-day than even the most
sanguine thought they could be made

Cherry. ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Four hundred
miners are imprisoned and probably
lead as the result OF a ire which has
zen raging inside the st. Paul coal
nine since 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Twelve bodies were taken out. Six o.
hese were not employees but are heroes
who gave their lives in a futile Il
ort to save the imprisoned work

Mine Superintendent James Steele.
declared Ave hours after the explosion
that 1t was almost impossible that
any could escape.

The entrance Is sealed in the hope
Of checking the flames. The building
above the pit entrance was blown N
o permit this. Despite the frantic
efforts OF officials and score Of volur-
teers, It seems certain that only dead
bodies will be taken from the mine.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The Are originated In q pile Of hay.
the timbers OF the mine became ig-
nited, and smoke and flames and gases
made exit impossible. Outside heroes
contributed five to the list OF twelve
