Frederick Thoughts.

A young mother went upstairs one
evening to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at the
door Of the nursery she saw her hus-
band standing by the side of the crib
gazing earnestly at the child.
As she stood still for a moment
touched by the sight, tears filled her
eyes, and she thought, How dearly
Frederick loves that boy!" Imagine
the shock to her feelings when he sud.
denly turned toward her and said:
Amelia. 1t is incomprehensible to
me how they can get up such crib
as this for $500"

AT Portland, Oregon, struggling for
his life with an Infatuated baboon,
Fred Wilson, of Brazil, Ind, a trainer
employed by an animal show, fought
desperately for half an hour with Ko-
komo, pink-tailed baboon, that at
tackled him in the cage. The savage
beast clutched Wilson's throat, but so
long as the trainer could keep on his
feet he had the best of the fight. At
length he fell, exhausted from the loss
of blood and strain, and the animal
gnawed at his legs in a frightful man
ner. A score of monkeys in the cage
kept up shrill screaming during thu
progress Of the fight and this attracted
the attention of other employees, who
rescued Wilson.

WOMEN PREFERRED.

English Lecturer Tells Why EN-
pIoyers Like Them Best.
Political power is the only pathway
to economic independence" said Miss
Ethel Arnold of England, in a lecture
at New York City few days ago. The
lecturer told of a visit she paid to a
big manufacturing town at the hour
when the employees were dismissed and
of how much better impression the 700
women, clear of eye and skin, trim of
figure and independent in bearing,
made than the men employees The
head of the factory, commenting on
this, told her that the employers pre-
ferred them because they didn't drink,
gamble or have the unsteady habits of
men.
In speaking about the low rate of
wages paid to women, the lecturer said
that if they demanded more they
would be ousted by the men as a re-
suit 1t was better a thousand times
that women should be ousted by the
men, she declared, than that they
should lower the standard Of wages
for honest work. The average Of mems
wages in the United Kingdom was
rather more than double that of the
women. she said, and she continued,
LESS than half is not a just nor fair
proportion under any system"
The speaker was loudly applauded
when she said: IF you exclude the
married women from the factory then
you must assure her a definite legal
share in the wages of her husband as
the keeper of his house and the moth
er of his children"
