hovah called the children OF Israel 10

the feminine vsioning spirit alone
can distract American manhood today
from its hideous concentration upon
the material things OF life; women
alone have the balance of power TO
turn the course OF events from
thousand crying evidences today or

quotation from Mr.. Comforts new
novel contains a glance ahead toward
the results OF the suffrage movement,
the success OF which the author be-
lieves Inevitable:

cause was in the air; that this was
but one startling manifestation OF a
great feminist seething over the
world. -. And yet every brightness
OF evolution depended, as he saw II.
upon woman being herself, retaining
first of all those stores of beauty and
spirit which are designed to be her
gifts to manhood and the race. In

by w. Morgan Shuster--Revle~ we'd
by Mrs. L. NJ. Doty.
The awakening OF women through
out the world. 80 convincingly de-
scribed BY Dr. Schumacher, is illum-
inated BY an article in the May num-
Der OF The Century Magazine, IN
which w. Morgan Shuster, lately
ffeasurer-general OF Persia, has print
ed chapter from his Forthcoming
volume, The strangling OF Persia.
This chapter treats OF the heroic att
+. tude OF the Persian women In the re-
cent crisis.
To us who think OF our Oriental sis
tiers leading lives OF idleness In their
harems, Il comes with district snock
OF surprise to hear that. eloistersd as
they are, they yet have secret organ
izations In the interest OF their nation
al government.
During the recent revolution IN
Persia, these women have looked with
anxious eyes through the barrier
with which tradition has surrounded
them, and have sought every oppor-
funity of helping their countrymen ia
the struggle for independence. Mr..
Shuster declares that without the
powerful moral influence OF the Per
sian women, the so-called chattels al
the Oriental lords OF creation, tfe
short-lived revolutionary movement in
Persia which has recently been smoth-
cred by Russia and England would
have paled early into a mere disor-
ganiEed protest"
The American fnanciers who wens
to Persia IN May, 1911, to take charge
or the FISCAL system Of that country
were warmly welcomed by the nation
al assembly or Medjlis.
They soon realized that there was
another great part OF the Persian pso-
pie that welcomed them secretly on:
none the less warmly. From the wo

The Little Red Hen

Did YOU ever read of the Little Red
Hen?
No truer tale e'er came from pen.
TO hear it is no waste of time,
So watch for the moral of this sad
rhyme.
Among the weeds that grew in the
yard
This Little Red Hen found something
hard.
She merrily cried, st Is good to eat"
A cake well bake OF these grains OF
wheat,
Come hitler, my sisters, there's much
to do,
NO longer on rank old grass well
chew;
we1I~plant these grains down deep
IN the ground,
And ne'er once leave this treasure
we've found,
Until by labor wen have a cake,
+ The best that hens shall ever bake.
Nowl.what do you think those fowls
did then?
Why, never a thing but laugh at the
hen.
Go home and sit in your COOP" they
cried,
Your place is there, not here out
And q ton eating such stun as that
We'd rather eat berries OF Mandy's
hat"
Old chanticleer straightway pronounc-
ed her a freak,
The Golden Pheasant took Just one
peek.
And shrieked with horror to see the
dowd,
Scratching away with her frumpy
The very chicks just out OF their
shells,
Were taught to greet her with un.
couth yells.
And Tom, the cat, and the sheep-dos.
Ben,
Came out to jeer at the fussy old hen.
The crowd that sat each day on the
fsncs,
Grew larger and larger until it was
dense
But that Little Red Hen with faith
full few,
Toiied and toiled the summer through
Until at last the work was done,
And iVICTORY was surely won.
A cake so wonderful was baked
Thatfhe fowls who saw II cheered TIL
they ached,
And when to the barnyard 1t was
brought,
They scratched for the crumbs until
they fought
For no such caks had ever been seen,
And they called for speech from
"The Barn Yard Queen"
4 How strange that the plaudits so long
and loud,
Csme--sad to relate-srom the very
name crowd,
who when the work was at It's height
Had held aloof from the toll and fight.
So the little worn Hen, she bowed
her head
And shook the feathers that once were
red.
And said these words to the shouting
with faint little voice--almost a
sob:
kind friends. the cake you relish so.
Grew up among US as you know,
n needed but helping hand
To make II feed all barn-yard land"
Weary. disheartened. oft afraid,
