REAL PATHOS OF
BEING A WOMAN
Bears Heaviest Load and
Largest Share of
Sorrow.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
ICOutiuued From Yesterday


TN all the world there is no place
for woman, except the place of
tears. She bears the heaviest load,
and the largest share of sorrow, and
at the feasts of life is thankful to eat of
the crumbs of pleasure, and this is what
makes being a woman such pathetic
thing
Suppose that a woman wants to mar
ry. Love for her makes the difference
between heaven and hell, between ex-
istence being a paradise or a purgatory.
and yet she is not free to seek 1t, nor
win it as a man is.
She cannot go out and choose .hus-
band, pick out from among all men the
man that she feels is the complement to
herself, and who is her real mate. She
must sit quietly at one side, and wait
patiently, in the forlorn hope that the
right man will come along, and If he
doesn't she must stifie her longings,
smother her heart down, and either re-
main single and lonely the balance of
her days, or else decline upon lower
love and marry the man who happens
to fancy her. instead of the one for
whom her whole being cries out. Is
anything sadder than the woman who
loves, and yet who does not dare to tell
her love?
Curse of Sex
In Earning Living.
If a woman desires to earn her living
she is again under the curse Of her sex,
by reason of both her physical inability
to do heavy labor, and the prejudice
against her. She hungers and thirsts. IS
cold and naked, just as man is. She
has the same needs of earning her liveli-
hood by the sweat of her brow, but even
when she does the same labor that man
does, she is forced to take a smaller
wage because she is a woman.
Indeed, only within the last few years
has she been permitted to work at all,
except at the most menial drudgery,
and there IS no sadder chapter in the
Book of Martyrs than that wherein is
inscribed the life story Of those proud
spirited women who have known how
bitter is the bread and how steep the
stairs of those who have been forced
from independence solely because they
were women.
And it is the infallBble part of the
pathos of being a woman that the wom-
an who works finds her sex not only a
drawback to success, but a constant
menace and danger. The pretty young
girl who goes out to earn her daily
bread must not only compete with men,
but defend herself against them. She
literally holds her honor in one hand
while she struggles with the other.

William DelOS Grange

The Republican Press of Sioux Rap
ids, Iowa, contains the announcement
of the death at Sioux City, Iowa, of
William Grange, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Delos Grange. Two weeks before to his
death ne was apparently in good health,
when he was taken with a severe attack
of appendicitis. Serious complications
set in after an operation was performed
and death came. The Republican Press
says:
William Delos Grange was born on
a farm near Ireton, Iowa, Jan. 4. 1892,
and moved to Sioux Rapids, with his
parents Mr. and Mrs Delos Grange, in
1898 to the farm three and one half
miles northwest of Sioux Rapids.
Willie Grange, as he was called by his
acquainrances, was one of those manly,
straightforward young men who could
always be depended upon and was
general favorite with everyone and
during the three years he attended the
Sioux Rapids high school and was a
member of the football team, there was
lot a single word of reproach that
could be uttered against him. He was
a young man who was extremely fond
of his home and preferred to be there
rather than any place else.
The funeral services were held in the
Congregational church at II 80, Mon
day morning, Rev. VanAuken having
charge of the services and the remains
laid to rest in Lone Tree cemetery.

Life Insurance.

Primarily life insurance is q cooper
ative plan to meet the default involved
in the premature death of produc-
tive lives. A nonproductive life is not
properly insurable. A life stamped
with immortality is not insurable. A
life somewhat impaired through defec-
tive family history or by individual
weakness or disease, if that life at the
same time is a productive life, is in
surable at a price. All of which brings
us back to the same conclusion. e..
life insurance is a great social plan
which merges the individual into the
mass and puts behind the frailty OF
man standing alone the immeasurable
strength of men standing together
