SCIENTIST ON FLRT

Take Simeon Stylites as an example.
He stood upon pillar until the worms
ate him up. Monks and nuns who iso-
late themselves from society and their
fellow men get substitutes for this in
their wonderful faith. They miss moth

The increased freedom OF women
is beginning to be expressed in various
ways. II freedom reaches the place
where woman has just as much free

Of its picturesqueness, but the feeling
of contentment in love and home
would not be lessened in the least.
II disagree with DR.. Hale when he
terms flirting rudime7tary paranoia.
Paranoia is form Of perversion, and
flirting, instead of being perverted, is
a normal thing. to my way Of thinking.
At a certain age a girl, or even boy,
awakes to certain facts. These make

This woman was ugly in every fea-

it does not become the General half q
mile from the line to doubt the correct
ness of an officer who is right on the
line of battle"
There is some more of this sort of
babble in connection with Harris. but
the quotation will suffice to indicate the
character of his structure. / have no
! doubt but that the Major was a gal
liant soldier, else he couldn't have had
the honor of serving as private, Lieu
tenant, Captain and finally as Major in
one of the bravest regiments sent out
by Ohio. and / do. not reflect either
upon his veracity or his sOldief1y quail
ties.
Let us put his statements thru the
crucible of a mild analytical test and
note results: The morning was foggy,
and, of course. the ground in the woods
was damp. The rebels got strict or
ders on leaving Fishers Hill TO speak
| to each other in whispers only during
the nights march. Their canteens even
were all left behind as a further pre-
caution. SO noiseIess was their every
movement that they captured nearly
every picket post on Harris's Division
| front without the firing of a aAshot on
either side. They formed in line for
the attack fully mile from our works.
1t was in very heavy timber.. too. Now,
| if Mai Karr could hear tIIts steady
tramp Of that host mile -autty under
such conditions: his sEnse- Of hearing
was more acute than was hs@ima gina

f. most emphaticaly object TO the
tone and sentiment of the second para
graph of the Majors Ietter. He lauds
Lieut. Ransom Griffin to the skies. and
gives no reason for il except that he
had charge of Crooks ambulance corps
and aiways' did his simple duty. l
quote the Major here again:
Had everyone In the Unfon army
performed his duty-as faithfully and
promptly as did Griffin the last band of
traitors would have been whipped into
submission and driven to their homes
/ or out of the country in one-half the
time they were"
I can't hardly think that the Major
really believes what this quoted sen-
tence implies. 1t says, by inference,
that the war would have been brought
to close much earlier than il was
were it not for the cowardlce pcrvading
the army. There is no ambiguity in
this sentence; what it implies is obvi-
Gus in its every line.
1t was The fmbecllity of our Generals
