NEW PROBLEM FOR THE MEN
Boston Women Ask Candidates for Office to Answer Some
 Questions.

Senator Lodge. if he is a candidate | to succeed himself, and all who ar, aspiring to his seat aL Washington, as ! well as all others who are candidates | for state and national honors, are re quested to make known what the be- lieve shall be done with the surplus women of the country. They are asked to do this by the Women's Homestead Association of Boston. It had a meet ing recently and adopted the follow ing resolutions:
 Whereas. A contest is pending among candidates to succeed Henry Cabot Lodge to the United States senate.
 Whereas, Women create S4 per cent of the wealth in the state of Massachusetts through their labor Notwithstanding this. they have no voice in the enactment of laws for the betterment of women as industrial commercial and moral factors. With draw the labor of women from mills factories and commercial pursuits for thirty days and commerce all over the country would be paralyzed
 Whereas, Women work all the time and yet they have neither lands nor money when sickness or old age over takes them. The demand comes from all branches of industry, Send us young women; they must be prepos- sessing and dress we'll The demand for young and good looking women comes from all parts of the world Whereas, The serious question now arises, What shall We do with the sur plus, matured women or New England, who have experience, but neither youth, good looks nor capital? Be- cause of the small wages paid them in factories. shops and stores, they were unable to provide for mature years and had laid by no surplus cap ital.
 Resolved. Int what the Women's Homestead association demands is that the state and national legislation help the surplus women of the country who have no legal providers and no capi- tai but their labor and experience.
 Resolved, That state and federal aid will be sought to aid this class of women by loaning them money to purchase homesteads and secure for them waste lands that they may be

 Resolved, That candidates for state and national honors be requested to define their positions on the follow ing propositions:
 What shall we do with the surplus women of the country?
 Aid them by obtaining homesteads? Pension the surplus women for whom there is no demand?
 Establish state and national mat rimonial bureaus?
 LeSalize plural marriages. or shoot off the surplus women as old horses when they can no longer pull their wagons

MENTAL WASTE.

The mental waste of the world is appalling when we consider what wonderful brains the Creator has giv- en us and to what little and mean uses some people put them. Many simply let their brains rust out The present demand for correspondence courses which is being supplied by many of the great universities seems to indicate that the waste is about tO be lessened and that d consider able portion of the race is going to improve the mind. To live in d world of beautiful and interesting things and to care for none of them must be living in an intellectual desert Many woman who polishes the stove until it shines brightly lets the rust of time and the dirt of gossip collect in her brain. As women grow older they should he especially interested in keeping their mental powers active. and there is no better way than to take a few minutes each day for study of some topic which is of in- terest.

CARLOAD OF ALFALFA SEED.

What was perhaps the most valuable shipped out of the state left here for Chicago when the Cherokee alfalfa mill shipped carload of pure alfalfa seed to an eastern market.
 Mill Manager Dicks stated it re- quired a week to buy the seed. There were more than 500 bushels and the prevailing price, ranging around S750 d bushel. made the car worth about s5,0OO. As a car of wheat is general ly valued at about 14,000. it is easy to see that the most valuable Oklahoma product that could be put in one car would be alfalfa seed.-Cherokce Cor respondent.

DINING ROOM REoPENED-The dining room of the Sixth Avenue ho- tel which has been closed for few days. will be reopened tomorrow morning by a MT. and Mrs. Wilson who are recent arrivals from Wilcox, Arizona. They are experienced hotel and dining room people and will keep the dining room at the same high standard it has always maintained, though it will be conducted separate ly from the hotel management That is the hotel will be run on the Euro pean plan. It is not incumbent on guests of the hotel to patronize the dining room. or guests of the dining room to rent rooms for lodgings It may be added though that there is no inharmOny in the two manage ments and each hopes the other will secure the patronage of the whole world.

This athlete all evening. every evening. lies on his back and at intervals of a minute or so ele- yates his left leg with a chair bal anced on his foot so cleverly that he does not dislodge pair of glasses that hang over the back of the chair. Never once has he dropped the glass es and never once has he failed to elevate the chair to a perpendicular position. The fact that the gymnast is an autOmaton, operated by electric ity possibly has something to do with the perfection of his work as also has the ingenuity of Dr. Munson who fixed up the device. The chief inter- est in the exhibition is that it is s' realistic result of mere mechanism.
