The Longevity of Women
By The GEN1LEwoMAN

I think very seriously about the future
Of their wives and children. 1t 10 d
necessity forced upon them by the
physical facts of life. Statistics prove
| undoubtedly that women live longer
than men, and that a grave necessity
exists for making provision for them
after tha wsge7earHer, Is dead. ,-.
From this point arises an extremely
interesting physiological question
how Is IL to be accounted for that the
sex which has always been considered
physically Trailer than men should In
the majority of instances outIive men =?
II We are to believe the latest au-
thorities on the subject, we find that
women are much more tenacious OF
life and resist disease much more
readily than the average man. She
is in many respects the superior ami
mai OF the two. AS rule, she does
not expand her vital strength UNI
necessarily. while the majority of men
either In work. In play or in pleasure
are literally prodigai OF their store
IL Is rather amusing to think, after
the million of words which have been
written about the weaker vessel"
that she really possesses tougher or
gantzation than man, and that 1t IL
her. poor fellow, who should be made
the recipient of all tender care and
affections.
A writer has turned out some very
instructive comparative figures with
regard to the liability of men and
women to disease and death. From
them gather that from three to thir-
ty-five years of age the death rate
between the sexes remains about even.
but afterwards the scale turns in ia
vor of women. At forty a woman has
seventy-eight chances to one against
dying, while man has only forty-nin
chances 10 one At sixty the odds are
nearly twice as large In favor of wo-
men, and at eighty they are five times
as great.
These statistics prove the necessity
which always exists for man to take
the necessary precautions against the
emergency which appears to be ply
sicaliy inevitable, and in order TO
make her own position the more Sc
cure in future Ii would seem wise
plan IL the woman could lay aside out
of her own savings something to add
to the premiums paid on her hus-
bands life. In the full hush of health
these things are not thought Of, or, II
they are. are considered sordid. A
calm view OF the sItuation and the
uncertainties of life. however, will
convince every one that II Is subject
which should receive the earnest at
tention Of every man and woman.

TRUANcY TO BE STOPPED.
Drastic Measures Are Contemplated if
Practice Is Continued.

Through a motion made by the board
of school commissioners at recent
meeting, officers at police headquarters
have been instructed to arrest fagrant
violators of the truancy laws, and it is
limited that an example may be made OF
persistent violators if the practice of
skipping" school sessions does not cease.
Lately, it is said, several cases have
come to light where parents have openly
sanctioned the action of their children
in staying away from school, and ii this
kind of compromise with law-breaking
continues, prosecutions of a different ma
ture may be expected.
Saturday forenoon young William BIZ
anehi was the first to feel the hand OF
the law. and it was a penitent lad that
Officer George X. Carle led to the police
station on truancy charge. Bianchi
had persistently failed to put in an APP
pearanee at school, and investigation had
shown, it is said, that necessary pressure
from the home circle had not been forth.

the forenoon. Bianchi was arraigned be-
fore Judge H. W. Scott in city court
He admitted the truancy part of his
offense and after severe lecture from
the court he was allowed to depart for
home with the understanding that the
sentence would be served upon
him if his besetting sin OF omission
could not be overcome. The warrant for
the lads arrest was made out by Grand
Juror Hugh II. Carpenter.

Mr.. Paige said he must decline to talk
at all about the matter, as he had turned
the entire matter over to his counsel,
Fred Homer Williams OF Boston. Mr..
Williams, when asked about the case,
said that he had talked the matter over
with District Attorney Pelletier and had
been requested by him not to talk for

the ease was one in the opinion of the

OTHER BOYS MISSING
And Their Parents Think Hickey May
Be the Cause.

Buffalo, n. Y, Dec. 2.- The police
department received yesterday several
dispatches relating TO the death or dis
appearance of children in various cities
and requesting that j. Frank Hickey,
the confessed boy murderer under arrest
here on a charge of killing seven YEAR
questioned in connection with them
A dispatch from Superintendent Me-
0uahe of the department OF safety,
Pittsburg, Pa, told of the assault on
Lawrence FrieI, l4.year old boy OF Al
legheny, in December 1909. The assault
resembled to marked degree the man
ner in which Hickey has confessed that
he put to death the Joseph and the
kruck boy Young Friel was given
whiskey, mistreated. strangled and left
to die in a vacant house. Edward p
Adams, nine year-old boy of Kane. Pa,
has been missing since December, 1910,
and the local police have been asked to
investigate. Hickey was not asked about
these cases yesterday
In his confession. Hickey tells Of but
three homicides, the killing by poison
of Edward Morey of Lowell. Mass. in
1888, the strangulation of Michael Kruck.
the New York pewsboy, in 1902, and of
the oJseph boy in 1912. He has repeat
edly stated that these are the only in
stances in which he killed his victims.
he admits without reservation
that he has committed numerous as
saults on boys during his career of crime
and that he intended killing ALL but that
