laws OF the Medes and the Persians and
Tammany Hall was too much for The
Tribune. and It fled
A kind friend came to its rescue with a
touching little tale about a woman who
thought It was wicked TO smuggle. She
was a schoolteacher and she came from
Boston. All her friends, it was said had
learned II one only declared all ones "
fects to be for ones own use they could
enter free Of duty. so they all glibly listed
mems socks and necktes and other gar
ments. "Oh, yes, certainly, they're for my
SELF" they said, without turning a hair.
But the Boston schoolma'a am was above
such methods.
NO" she reported this is for my
brother and that for my father, and all
those trinkets are for my dear pupils
So the customs officers Chis was in Bos-
tom soaked her for all they couldn't get
out OF the other women" as the story
went.
Encouraged by this tale of sacrifice Tor
principles sake, the Tribune reporter made
bold to approach a suffragette, one of the
real fre-eaters, the leading lady in many
a street meeting-Miss Mary Coleman, OF
the New York bar.
Wasn't that Just like men," she cried,
ito charge the poor, dear Boston woman
so much for being honest? When 1t comes
to handing women lemons, we get not only
one but whole grove of them.
"As for Mrs HILL there was a misunder-
standing there, you know. They caled
that 5000 fur coat a luxury but IL WASH
at all Such a coat IS a necessity TO such a
woman. IL we women had voice In the
government we would take the tariff of
the things women need and put IT on some
things men don't need
"Thev say women smuggle more than
men do, but the truth is that men do II
more. only they get away with IT, while
women get caught.
But smuggling isn't really wrong. you
know" she continued. needless OF the re

republican form OF government obedience Is
part of the contract between rulers and
people. Women, you see, don't come into
that contract at all so they are free lances
and il follows then that the only way tc
make them legally responsible TO the tarif1
law is to give them an opportunity to vote
against II.
However" and here the fercest Of the
suffragettes smiled. II don't advocate
breaking the laws-unless one Is sure OF
getting results. An individual can get

COOKING FOR BOYS
Wealthy Woman Training
Her Sons IN HOuse1Cifery.

One of the most progressive of the many
energetic New York women has announced
that she intends her sons to be as helprul
in household duties as her daughters, ana
that this summer she will start them with
camp in a corner of her country place
There will be two tents, one for sleeping
purposes and the other for cooking and eat
ing. and there they are to learn to do plain
cooking. such as every young man should
know who hopes some day TO marry" says
the fond mamma, adding plaintively, 'es-
pecially in these days when even the best of
boys is IN danger of getting married to
ccmic picture suffragette." The training in
kousewifery, however, is considered Valu-
able even il the lads are spared this fate-
fer their steps may turn to the paths or the
explorer or the engineer which VIII carry
them far from such luxuries as housekeep-
ers and Wallets If at all times they know
they can turn to and cook for themselves
they are expected TO feel mastery over
even the most i'll behaved circumstances
The husband Of the suffragette ever will
60 about his business with unruffled sLren-
ity. confident that so long as feminine poll
tics spares him his trusty chafinG dish all
Will he we'll If that is ever needed to be
used for ammunition in militant uprising
there will still be tin pans and the gas
stove.
But cooking is not the only accomplish
ment booked for these youngsters. The
care of their two tents will teach them
neatness. for each day the camp will be in
snected by their mother, al no regular hour
either. so it will behoove the boys 10 have
their abode always in order Guidance in
the crafts of mending and sewing on but
tons will be Included in the days routine
lest the lads. ignorant of this, should grow
up into useless and helpless creatures.
The woman who plans this practical
training for her sons is hoping that similar
camps will he established on neighboring
estates, 80 that a little friendly rivalry
may add zest 10 the joys OF putting ones
house In order. The healthful out -of-door
life and the independence born Of tent liv-
ing will DO the city lads more good than
any other known scheme for the summer
months she thinks.
