HONOR THEIR WOMEN
MEN OF INDIA HIGHLY ESTEs
THE GENTLER SEX.
Native Author corrects Western al
lacy and Asserts His Fellow Coun-
trymen Never Compelled WIG
ows to Make the Suffice
Sacrifice.

Contrary to the usual western be-
lief said Carath Kumar Ghosh, the
Indian author, Indian women are
more highly esteemed by their nus
bands even than their western SIS
ters The Indian is taught venera-
ton for women from his earliest BOY
hood Any unkindnesS to Wlfe is
supposed to be swiftly followed Dy
misfortune and a mans prayers are
of no effect unless his wife joinc IN
them with ali sincerity. At a corona
ton the presence of the sovereign
wife Is of the utmost importance.
Should she be unable to appear
statue of her must be placed at her
husbands side. Otherwise the cere-
mony is not legal. The standard OF
morality, the lecturer asserted, IS
higher in India than in England. The
Indian, it is true. is legally allowed
to take a second wife should his nrSt
marriage prove childless. but 1t IS
most rare to hear of an Indian avail
ing himself of this privilege.
When the princess Of Wales visited
India she was regarded with the
greatest veneration, not merely for
her charm of manner or the fact
that one day she would be empress
of India but for the fact that
she had five sons Death was not
forced on any widow, the lecturer
asserted, They were free to choose
for themselves. If they did not feel
called upon to make the sacrifice OF
suffice they were always at liberty to
refuse. However, should they desire
to sacrifice themselves the act
brought them crown of martyrdom,
earning for themselves the title OF
Dew" 1t was an error to think they
were burnt alive. A cup of poison
was drunk and cremation followed.
Finally Mr. Ghosh related that a
prediction calling down disaster on
a man passed harmlessly over
woman, her moral standing being the
higher of the two. The great dia-
mond Of India, the Kohinur, carried
with it a curse to the effect that its
wearer would rule over India. but die
a sudden death. A woman might wear
the Jewel safely. The late Queen
Victoria had it placed in the royal
crown, but now, said the lecturer.
it adorns the one made for Queen
Alexandra by the order of the king.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until l commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation" (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,

said O'Mara to the writer, who found
him in his office in the Oliver building
in Pittsburg the other day. "The rea-
son the so-called gilded youth of this
country are continually getting into
trouble is that their parents give them
ten times as much money as they
need. If they were put to work and
forced to earn thenr own money they
would be far better off-and l should
probably have much less to do.
"Cut Of Supply of Cash."
"Of course there is another side to
this. There are schemers who make
a business of preying on the sons Of
rich men. They try to involve them
in all sorts of difficulties. And of
course there are adventuresses who
seek to trap the gilded youth. A young
man sometimes becomes involved
quite innocently, but no matter how it
has happened or what difficulties he
may be in, the first thing to do is to
cut off his supply of cash That will
bring him to his senses more quickly
than anything else, and unless he has
committed felony he can then be ex-
tricated from his difficulties and put
on his feet.
"Blackmailers are to be found every
where, and every year they get scores
of rich young men into their clutches.
Especially If the rich young man is
married he Is threatened with ex-
posture. Our rich young men have a
habit of being indiscreet-especially
when they go to New York-and black
mailers are always in readiness to get
something on them My advice to
them is never to pay cent of black
mail no matter how badly they may be
involved. 1t Is better to risk exposure
first as last, for II blackmail be paid
once the payment has to be repeated
as often as the blackmailers wish.
Blackmailers can frequently be b1uffed
They are usually men or women Of un-
savory reputation and they are always
afraid Of exposure. When they find
a man won't give up they disappear
nine times out Of ten. Never pay a
cent of blackmail under any circum'
stances. You are lost II you give a
single penny, for tomorrow you will
have to give more.
Typical Case Quoted.
Gust the other day." O'Mara con
tinued, "a well-known Pittsburg man
called me up and said woman was in
town who was making trouble for his
son. It seems the young man had met
her in New York, given her a few
costly presents and perhaps been a lit

of endearment. At any rate here she

The Old and the New Rich.
Thirty and forty years ago. when ]
was young man in Pittsburg, man
who had 100000 was accounted rich.
The young men of those days, even
those who had the richest parents, had
comparatively little money to spend.
And, what is more, most of them
were put to work by their parents.
Nowadays the sons of our very rich
men not only receive enormous sums
to spend, but are not required to do
any real work. 1t Is no wonder they
cause their parents so many heart
aches. Of course there are many ex-
cepttons to what / have said. No
generalization is wholly true-not even
this one. But the rich young men Of
this country would be far and away
better off-mentally, physically and
morally-if their parents made them
go to work and earn their own spend
ing money. The hard-working young
man rarely has bad companions.
Sometimes a father realizes these
things and cuts off the sons allowance.
But mothers always take their sons
part. They will continue to send them
money without their husbands knowl
edge. In fact, the more dissipated the
son the more money the mother will
send him. A mother will never believe
that her son is doing wrong. The
more worthless he is the closer the
mother will stick to him. In all my
experience with black sheep l have
never known a mother to turn ON her
son.

Record Is a Distinguished One.
Few detectives have had so many
adventures and been connected with
so many celebrated cases as Roger
O'Mara He became detective the
first year he joined the Pittsburg po-
lice force, back in 1867. In order to
round up gang of crooks O'Mara,
then only nineteen years OF age, had
himself publicly discharged from the
police force He then joined the
crooks and when he had obtained all
the evidence he needed he placed them
all under arrest He was the detective
who arrested Alexander Berkman, who
shot Henry c. Frick, and it was large
ly through his efforts that Laura Big
gar, the actress, was prevented from
getting the Bennett millions 1t will
be remembered that Laura Biggar OF
"a Trip to Chinatown" fame, claimed
she was Millionaire Benefits widow
and the mother of his child, who had
died. O'Mara, retained by the Ben
nett heirs, succeeded In finding evil
dence which prevented Laura Biggar
from establishing her claim.
Back in the eighties he captured
"Shoe Box Miller the famous crook
who escaped from Pennsylvania pen
itentiary in a shoe box. Miller had
rohhed a family named Connors, lfv
ing at Catfish, near Pittsburg, of $21,
600. By torturing Connors' wife Miller
succeeded in learning the hiding place
of the money, and with it he fed to
Canada. O'Mara tracked him all over
the country and finally brought him
back after one of the most remarkable
man-hunts in recent times.
These are only few Of the cases in
which O'Mara has figured. Since he
resigned from the Pittsburg detective
force nine years ago he has been IL
business for himself. The greater par
of his time has been spent in getting
the rich young men of Pittsburg and
other cities out Of trouble. This is
his speciality.
Boys will be boys" he says, but
he adds that they will be better boys
if their parents give them less money.
A fine, kindly old man is Roger
O'Mara, the shepherd of the BLACK
sheep.
