By SELENE ARMSTRONG.

Anything but that" laughed Mrs
Tarrant, wife of Lieut.. William T. Tar
rant, of Annapolis. as she raised two
shapely hands in protest. and shut her
perverse red lips together In a manner
that was positively maddening to any
interviewer. Then there was a period
of even more provoking silence which

Commander Jessup when he saw Miss

To what extent should honest labor

And lastly. what has become of Miss
Beers herself, and will the lady please
come forward and answer some of the
questions, for which she is responsible? ?

Professor Sargent declares that wo-

stronger; and that she is made of
tougher material than man He asserts
that she can undergo many strains

comes to a case of withstanding cold.

in saying that she's got more staying
powers than the ordinary man. and
that if the average man did half the

man does. it would kill him.

The Poor Wounded Man.
Tuesday afternoon. the second after

pain in his right arm which some fed

steel Jaeketed Mauser.

Nobody appoints a commission to
look into her case. Nobody passes any
laws to shorten her hours of labor, or
relieves the strain under which she
lives, because. everybody is perfectly
sure that she's amply able to bear the
burden that has been laid upon her
shoulders.
Nobody thinks of a woman being
overworked who does the cooking.
washing. and sewing, and mending.
and baby tending for her family No
body thinks it's any hardship for her
to get up an hour before her husband
in the morning to get his breakfast.
and to sit up an hour. after he has
gone to bed. patching his trousers, or
ironing him clean shirt. or to get up
a dozen times in the night to give the
baby a drink; and see that the other
children are covered up; for the wo-
man is splendidly equal to doing all
of this never-ending labor
But no mere man would be able to
follow any occupation that got him up
so early in the morning and kept him
up so late at night. and had him on
the jump in between times. and that
broke in upon his rest and required
him to get what sleep he had in fit
full snatches He would have a nerv-
Gus breakdown inside of a week
And there's no use in saying that
woman's work in the home Is a light
and easy occupation. Any man who
tries to take care of the baby and
keep the other children occupied for
a single Sunday afternoon. while his
wife goes to visit her mother will
admit that four or five hours of it
frazzles him out worse than week
at the office, or pile driving.
Observe also how much stronger is
the female constitution than the male.

Consider. alas, the different ways
in which men and romen endure pain.
There are tens OF thousands Of women
who never draw well breath, VINO
are continual martyrs, year after year,
to suffering, yet who go about their
daily work without making COM
plaint or even taking advantage Of the
medical skill that might possibly cure
them.
sMamas headache" my wife's
nerves" "Mary's insomnia" become so
much q matter of course that NOBODY
pays any attention to them, and the
poor victim even gets to be apologetlc

At any rate, Prof. Sargents theory
