LET WOMEN woo THE MEN
Old Custom, Declares English Writer,
Is the Cause Of Much Marital
Unhappiness.

Surely the most foolish Of all the
many foolish conventions that ruin
human Joy is the decree that women
must wait passively to be wooed, de-
clares a writer in the London Chron-
icle. Now, why should they? Why
cant they be natural and honest and
show their feelings? Why must they
be compelled to act an Indifference
quite foreign to them? Perhaps some
Of you hold with Shaw and Shakes
peare that they don't wait to be WOO
ed. Some of them certainly don't
Generally speaking, however, few
women even nowadays have the pluck
to go dead against a convention Of
this sort, which has such a tre'
mendously strong hold on the mascu-
line sense of fitness.
If woman's charm is to depend on
this idiotic convention that men have
created around her-namely, that she
is a perfectly cold passive, negative
creature who waits in a state OF sus-
pended animation, as it were, until
the man condescends to make her
come alive-the sooner the modern
feminists invent some more reason
able tradition of charm the better for
us all.
Now, let us suppose a couple that
has overcome all the initial obstacles.
They have managed the difficult task
of finding each other, have got their
declaration over, and are safely en-
gagged. What happens next? Every
possible thing that can be done to
create an illusion around them is
done. They are encouraged to meet
often, but the conditions under which
they meet are as different as can be
from the conditions of their future
married life. Does that man every
see that girl in any kind of'negligee,
or does she see him unshaved, say?
Does he have any experience OF how
she will run a house or manage af-
fairs? Does she have any chance OF
finding out that he's faddy about food
or mean about money?
These are material things, it is true,
and therefore not of the first i'm
portance; but, on the other hand,
what chance do they have either to
discover each others spiritual state?
Don't they, as rule, act and sham
all through, and dress up for each 9th
er, and spend their time under the
most artificial conditions, pleasure
seeking? Are they ever encouraged
to have earnest conversations with
each other to discuss the more serious
aspects of their future life together?
No, the entire business is conducted
in the most absurdly Irresponsible
once-narried-well shake-down-all-right
spirit, which would be comical but for
the fact that the results are often SO
deeply tragical,

M00NSHINER'S FINE WORK

The copper worm" of a moonshin-
er's still was used in evidence in the
court of Judge John Elmore, United
States commissioner, at Montgomery,
Ala 1t was a splendid piece of work
manship and was made from very
thick copper and it did not have a
seam in It.
Alpheus McGowen, of Coosa county,
who was being tried for "moonshin-
ing" told Judge Elmore that he made
the worm" When he had beaten
and worked the copper into a long
gas pipe shape he filled it with white
sand and crooked both ends. The
tube was then carried to tree stump
and wound about it until the proper
shape was obtained. The sand pre-
vented the copper tube from fatten-

HANDCUFFED DEER ESCAPES

A big buck deer startled 5000 per-
sons homeward bound from church in
Vancouver, upset a man and horse
and escaped after being handcuffed
The deer was first seen standing in
a vacant lot. Boyd Lauder, a sixteen
year-old boy, went to look at it and
was thrown to the ground. The buck
then attacked and overthrow horse
tied in the lot and returned to tram
pie the Lauder boy, when Policeman
Samuel Grady caught it by the antler
and threw it, after twenty minutes
struggle, by twisting its neck.
From force of habit he snapped
handouts about its legs. The deer
sprang to its feet and the handouts

JAMS PRESENTIMENT
It Was Of Disaster, but Every
thing Eventually Came Out
All Right.
BY MARGARET MANNING.

From the first moment of his open
ing the door Jan olesen felt presen-
timent OF disaster There was some
thing In the atmosphere OF the board
ing hours, with It's stuffy hall, its gilt
mirrors, its glaring plush ornamental
ton, that sickened him, so that when
the little maid came forward and
asked whom he wished to see he
could hardly utter Mlna's name.
Jan Olesen, fresh from the west
where he had established himself as
a prosperous farmer within three
years after his arrival from Sweden, a
penniless youth, looked in surprise at
the little servants troubled face,
"You are from my country? he
asked in his native tongue, and at the
sound of the words the little fair
haired maid-of-ail-work broke down
and cried.
IL haven't heard the old speech
for so long" she said. and then began
smiling through her tears as the sun
smiles out Of a blue sky. And the
twinkling eyes that she turned upon
him were very blue, and her smile as
sunny as a Swedish girls smile can
be.
Jan OIesen looked at her in grave
compassion.
DO they treat you well here, child?
he asked.
She shrugged her shoulders. Some
of the boarders do" she answered.
Theatrical folks are mostly kind
But Miss Dalrymple-she's a terror
She's leading lady in the Red Slipper
chorus, you know-and, say" she add,
ed, breaking into the easily acquired
slang of America, what do you think?
She's Swedish, too, for all her Ameri-
can airs and English name"
Olesen clutched at the wall to save
himself from falling, Before his eyes
a mist was swimming. His mind went
back to the day when he, renting a
cheap hall bedroom almost in the next
city block, had met Nina Jensen. She
was Just such a little maid as this,
newly arrived from the old country.
He remembered her shy smile, her
engaging frankness. And they had be-
come engaged and he had gone west
TO make his fortune. Now after three
years he had returned-to what?
Through the mist broke a scent OF
patchouli. Out of it he saw a woman
approach, with fashionably done hair

have been hours or minutes, but the
last thing Of which he was aware was
Nina standing at the door Of her
apartment and gazing after him with
a puzzled, quizzical air

said at parting. And her designs on
his pocket-book had been transparent
enough to bring a blush Of shame to
his tanned face, so that he could only
raise his hat mechanically In response
to her farewell.
She had refused to discuss their
marriage; instead, he was to take her

Suicide Among German Children.


Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, it has been said that
the majority Of suicides are those OF
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the Encouragement of failure. It
would be interesting to know if any Of
the so-called heather countries Of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that Of
child suicide.

THE GREAT FOOTBALL
CAME At HOUSTON.
Most Important Game In Southwest
for Year--The Two Teams
Briefly Compared.

One week from yesterday in Houy-
ton the A. and M. College football
team and the eleven from the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma will clash for grid
iron honors in the most important
game OF the season in Texas, or per-
haps IL the Southwest. Both institu-
tions have unusually strong teams,
and the contest promises to be bat
tie royal from start to finish. Coach
Moran has built up powerful foot
ball machine that has overwhelmed
every team met to date. The Farm
ers' goal line has not been crossed,
while they have piled up total of
1913 points, scoring so points against
Daniel Baker, SO against Trinity, q
against Arkansas, and 81 against Aus
tin College. Coach Bonnie Owens
Sooners swept the field last season,
and he has practically the same team
this season
Both teams have seasoned men for
the backfield positions, and when they
line up against each other at Houston
It will be Greek meet Greek. Reeds
and Courtwright are Sooner veterans
who made the AlLSouthwestern team
in 1912. Armbruster is playing his
fourth year at quarter. Weldon and
Rogers are both experienced full
backs. Pitted against them on the
Farmers side will be Captain Bell,
Beasley, Bateman, Vesmirovsky, and
Kern, all of whom have proved ire
sistible in the games played to date.
Kern, Bateman and Beasley are play
ing their third-year careers on the
gridiron this season. Courtwright and
Vesmirovsky are the mainstays for
punting on their respective teams, and
supporters of the local eleven have no
doubt of "Ves'" ability to outdistance
his opponent in the event of a punting
duel.
The entire cadet corps will accom-
pany the team to Houston on special
trains, and will give parade through
the streets of the city in the morning
before the game.
