started with the belt or sash and
worked along peacefully until the
fashions brought in the tight variety
OF inexpressibles, which. being fash
toned like the skin, stuck like it. The
suspender seems to have come into
use with the discard of these unmen-
tionables. We do not speak with any
authority, but we do not believe that
braces can lay claim to any antiquity.
They will depart unmourned.
In themselves they disclose too
suspicious nature-a lack of conf
dence. A man with his trousers strap
PED to him is not what might be
called trustful. He is a person who
looks at the world askance and will
take no chances. And frequently he
works his own undoing. A button pulls
off and the means of repairing the
damage are not at hand. The respon-
sibilities thus thrown on the surviv-
ing one of the two which did duty on
the northwest are too great for it.
1t departs with the snap of many
things giving way and we have a
person whose face shows all the emo
lions of misplaced confidence and ex-
IRENE terror, clutching himself at the
side and departing for secluded places
in search of a nail He has none OF
our sympathy.

feudalism women were never looked
upon as the weaker SEX" and there
fore the criminal law is the same for
men and women there. The Burmese
women have always been free from
sacerdotel and secular dagmas alike:
They do what they like, according to
their own sweet will. They like to
work even if they are not obliged to
do SO. The husband has no right
over the property which his wife
might have possessed before mar
riage, nor over the property which she
might acquire after marriage. The
Burmese women can appear in law
courts to represent her husband. In
contracts with third person she and
her husband sign their names togeth-
er. They can borrow money on joint
security. Both husband and wife can
sign deeds and lend money.
Finally, If there is no longer any
love between married couple in
Burma, they get the divorce even
more quickly than they do in the
United States.

THE DISAPPEARING eALLus.

Chicago Tribune: Men who by
devotion in use betray reverence for
suspenders explain that galluses rep
resent an application OF science to
clothing in that they adjust the weight
of the garment to the shoulders, which
are intended as burden bearers. They
refuse to admit that with trousers
properly cut the weight, without sus-
penders and with belt, is thrown on
the hips, equally able to bear it.
We note this merely to observe the
triumph of the estheic over the scien-
tific. Gallusus, at least for summer
use. are being driven into the hills
of Arkansas, where one brace is con
sidered sufficient for all except pluto
cratic relations of the octopus hated
by the Hon Jeff Davis. The one.
gallus boys are of rugged honesty and
oppose the Standard Oil company with
patriotic fervor. We attribute this to
the liberty loving atmosphere of the
hill country, however, and not ID the
one gallus. We are interested mere
~ in showing that the suspender is
being driven to the strongholds OF
primitive virtues and that its extinc
ton is threatened
In spite of the scientific advantages
said to be inherent in the gallus, we
incline to the notion that it is not
logical development in human cloth
ing. The first skirt of leaves was not
hitched to the shoulders by a vine, but
was strapped about the waist Later
the intelligence of the world took tc
draping garments from the shoulders
but the draped nations went against
the trousered nations and, in spite o.
several centuries of success, finally
I succumbed to men who draped theil
legs in cloth and thus formed theil

PROPOSES AND plsposEs.

Westminster Gazette: There is an
oriental race as yet little heard of
which has developed ideas about the
relations between the two sexes
which would set the most advanced
people of today thinking. The ideas
which prevail in Burma about women
upset a great many notions which
man has formed about woman, from
the earliest times. A Burmese woman
for example makes love to man first.
II sounds strange, not to say "unnat-
ural,' to al ost all European ears,
and yet this frankness on the part of
women toward "mere" men is greatly
desirable among women of other coun-
tries. A Burmese marriage is civil
and not religious. They cannot un.
derstand what religion has got to do
with marriage. They look upon it as
pure and simple partnership which
might he dissolved at any time.
With such ideas 1t is natural that
they should hate the Ceremony OF
marriage. After marriage there is nc
outward symbol like 3 wedding ring
on Burmese woman's body, She
does not even adopt her husbands
family name, but retains her own. AS
religion is concerned with the sou
only. the two sexes are on equal term:
in life They do not possess two laws
one for men only and the other foI
women as in Europe. AS Burma wa,

Candidate Blood.

Keokuk Standard: Will Blood is
the most successful man the Repub
leans ever put on ticket. In this
strong Democratic county, he has
served two terms as county attorney.
and once was elected city attorney by
a Democratic administration. Some
say he is the luckiest man they ever
saw in politics-but the luck of man
practically always depends upon his
own actions, that is to say his brains
and ability. Blood was elected city
attorney without his knowledge be-
cause of his charming personality
which caused an insurgent Democrat
to choose him from among a dozen
Republicans. The fact that he was
superb city attorney helped elect him
county attorney; his conduct of that
office caused the Democrats to re-
elect him personality had more to
do with it than blind luck after all.
And he must be something of cam
paigner on the quiet, by the same
token. Anyhow, the Democrats like
him.

THE POWER OF A BABY

A bit of humanity makes all the
world kin Indeed 1t is so. An engag-
ing demonstration of the fact took
place in New York City a few days
ago.
Charles Ruben and wife had for
three months been in the Tombs
awaiting trial on charge of arson.
With them was their year-old-baby. 1t
is hard to credit the tale, but it is So
Here III free America they locked an
innocent babe away in jail out of the
reach of sunshine and fresh air and
kept it there three months. But that
isn't the story Anyway, as soon as he
heard of it, Justice Foster ordered the
case to trial
This is the story. Into the court
went the baby in the arms of its
mother. From the moment the case
was called the Judge, prosecuting at
torney, court attendants and even the
jury fell under the spell of the little
mite of humanity. So many of the
talesmen examined acknowledged that
their judgment would be likely to be
affected by the presence of the baby
in its mothers arms that an entire day
was used up in selecting the jury. OF
course, Judge Foster warned the jury
that they were there to determine the
facts and must not be swaped by sen
timent. Then the trial started, and
every one tried his best to appear I'M
moved by the scene of the little fam
ily, especially the part of 1t that cud
died and cooed and waved dimpled
hands at court, jurors, reporters and
attendants. 1t was all in vain.
The jury went out, remained an
hour and brought in verdict of not
guilty. Il called him Sunshine" said
one of the jurors HE was always SO
bright, nd-but--ah .-of course we
based our verdict on the evidence-the
chain. you know, of evidence was not
complete"
The pen. they say, is mightier than
the sword. And prattling babe may
be more eloquent than the lawyer.
more convincing than hard fact and
more irresistible than the law itself.
There is no measuring how much it
Is due the babies that the adult world
Is as decent, as well-behaved as it is.

Mount Pleasant free Press: The
Free Press will try very hard to be
fair during this campaign. 1t will try
to print only such things as are
true II a candidate feels that he is
not being treated fairly we want him
to say SO to us.
The Free Press is hoping that the
Democrats may elect part or all of
their county ticket. The Free Press
believes that the Democrats never
had better ticket than they have
this year This paper is very anxious
to have the entire ticket elected and
+ it shall work faithfully toward that
end.
1t may say some mean things about
may say things that seem mean to
the office seeker, but the Free Press
will ever try to confine itself to the
truth.
To get its information it has to rely
on the people. If they lie to the editor
of this paper. he may be taken in, !"

people try to tell the truth, although
Solomon said that all men are liars,

So if all men are liars. it is up to

IN BURNS COTTAGE.


Ayr, Scotland.
Tho Scotland boasts a thousand
names
Of patriot, king and peer,
The noblest, grandest of them all
Was loved and Graded here.
Here lived the gentle peasant prince,
The loving Cottars King,
Compared with whom the greatest
lord
Is but titled thing.
'Tis but a cot rooted In with straw,
A howell made of clay;
One door shuts out the snow and
storm
One window greets the day
And yet stand within this room
And hold all thrones in scorn,
For here beneath this lowly thatch
Loves sweetest bard was born.
Within this hallowed hut l feel
Like one who clasps a shrine,
When the glad lips at last have touch
ed
The something deemed Divine.
And here the world thro all the years
AS long as day returns,
The tribute of it's love and tears
Will pay to ROBERT BURNS.

No Welcome for Missionaries.

The inhabitants OF the country care
very little for church and religion,
and as matter of fact few churches
are found in that district while on
every cross roads is dance hall. As
a class they are proud and indepen-
dent. and do not look with any de-
gree of cordiality upon any one who
enters those parts with the intention
of changing their view of life. hold
ing that they live the lives they do
from choice and have as much right
to their views as has the easterner to
his. About. two miles from Paradise
Flats, however, there is little
church where the young ladies attend
and do all they can toward keeping
up an interest in things religious and
spiritual They also have their own
bible study class and literary meet
ings.

Cowboys Carnival.

Miss Clark mentioned many other
interesting facts relating to her ex-
perience in the west. One of the
greatest events of the year is the
cowboys carnival at Cheyenne,
which in the matter of attendance re-
sembles very much our state or cum
ty fair. The cowboys give exhibit
lions in horsemanship and in throw
ing the rope The Indians come in off
the reservation and give war dances
and powwows. Monster parades are
formed and the day is one such as
will delight the heart of the cowboy
and the true westerner. Another SINH
lar event of great popularity is the
annual stock show at Bellefourche.
The people go for hundreds of miles
to attend this, taking their tents and
baggage with them and camping dur
ing the time of the exhibition.
One thing must be remembered,
Wyoming is an equal suffrage state,
and Miss Clark made special men
elections. Everyone In the neighbor-
hood turned out at the last presiden-
tial election and most of them cast
their ballot for Taft. School elections
are times Of great excitement.
Miss Clark went to the west for
the benefit of her health and since
spending two years in the clear fresh
atmosphere of the Rockies and liy ~
the life of the plains she has greatly
improved in health and strength. She
has three more years on her claim be-
fore proving it. She, however, does
not regret the time required and will
return Monday, after a pleasant visit
with home folks, to assume her life
on the ranch.
