that such we had more than enough to attend to
in just being these days of physical culture,

The idea of the great accumulated vote of atoms like
myself putting really efficient in charge of
things and keeping the wrong out of authority
occurred to me; for represent the typical fool
woman the emotional idiot, with decisions that she
calls intuitions Mysteries that she confuses with
permanent, and feelings that she fancies thoughts.
The Other Kind of Woman
DON'T make any mistake about it, there is the other
sort of woman, cool Drained, almost logical with
shrewdness surprising mans, calm grip herself
that passes for GOODNESS, and fine broad mental
charity that and proves in advance her every
action and word.
Often you will hear such woman described by the
huffies as masculine" because she does color her
hair powder her She's not kitten, by any
means. and no matter how old she may grow she
reaches the old Tab Glass; but her mind is clear and in
charge of the citadel from the time she begins to know
she is alive.
Women like this will take hold of the Suffrage helm,
and we. the s. womany they call u.s. will not
have the task of thinking the things that must and
shall be done for women. Of couldn't think
things out, think them straight. talk straight,
hold to the mind for than day, or be loyal
to any party, person, persuasion except
own immediate whlms.
We the quiet, nonpOlitical. home loving kind

and supposed to make the best mothers. We

But We the huffs all see. as l saw, the
one great, distinct nmutable fact that the antisuf
fragis is hopelessly hdeously selfish 1t is the plat
form of the lazy in her cushions, the happy
tented we'll cared for wife who pouts out prettly that
she doesn't want any suffrage and won't soil her fingers

Then the actor and said that women who could

Of course it will take many long years to
demonstrate all that will be done for these
needy ones. One does not have to be vision
airy to see countless ways and channels in
which charity will be made kinder and farther
in its reach. The hungry will be fed, the
thirsty given to drink. the sick and in prison

the most beautiful ways to help the suffering

Indianapolis, Aug. 16.-A decided
sensation was created in the conven
tion of the United Mine WorkerI
when John Mitchell, whose presence
In the city was not suspected. entered
the hall and walked down the aisle.
The moment he was recognized the
delegates rose to their feet and greet
ed him with hearty applause. Presi
dent Lewis stared at the newcomer
while the Illinois delegates crowded
against the former chieftain of the
miners and seemed to look upon his
coming as auguring success for theiI
cause. Mitchell declined seat on
the stage, saying that he came as d
delegate from his old local Mt Spring
Valley, ILL.,, and would seat himself
with the delegates OF that state.
In a brief speech Mitchell said that
he had come here without any pre-
conceived ideas respecting the diff
culties before the convention and that
he intended to be guided in what he
does by his convictions of duty.
In discussion one of the delegates
from Kansas declared that the miners
would have new president when the
convention adjourns, but Lewis re

president, and I'll tell you why. Tom

The mayor is decidedly better. The
listlessness which sometimes came
over him was absent all day. His
cough bothered him somewhat, but
now that the surgeons know its cause
they do not pay much heed to it.

he might cough the bullet loose from
the roof of his back throat. The sur.

but it is absolutely possible.

CHILD ATTACKED BY LEOPARD
Boy Receives Severe Injuries From
Ugly Animal.

A leopard reached through its cage
at Beaver Falls, Pa, and with its
huge paws lacerated the face and
nearly tore off the scalp of John
Egensberger aged 5, who, with his
father, George Eggensberger, was
standing in front of the bars. The
father, the animals keeper and an.
other man, struggled desperately be.
fore the child was released
When the father turned away q
moment, the leopard, reaching its
paws through the bars like cat
feeling for a ball, caught the child
by the head, lifted him several feet
and tried to claw him through the
bars. The child screamed until he
became unconscious from his
wounds and fright. He is in a criti.
cal condition. II is said the leopard
once before made similar attack on
a child.
