Come Into Their Own Then.

There are other women who never
come into their own until they
hold baby on their breasts. They
may have been homely, awk-
ward, hard of face and blunt of
speech, lacking all grace; but moth
erhood turns them into madonnas
that send us to our knees before
them.
And there are other women
whose best hour lis almost their
last hour. Ugly in youth, they are
beautiful in age, for life and expe-
rience often chisel rough features
into beauty, and love lights lamp
within the dull soul OF many a
woman that irradiates her whole
being. Just the goodness and the
kindness on many an old woman's
face make It beautiful
A woman is az her best anywhere
from the cradle To the graye-ac-
oording 10 the woman herself.

woman is at her best. Certainly
she is midway between youth and
age, and has some of the charms
and advantages of both. but her
youth is the youth of sophistication.
1t is a time when she calls art to
the aid Of nature, when the bright
ness of her eyes, and the roses on
her cheeks, and the redness of her
lips, and the gold of her hair owe
something to the corner drug store;
when she enthuses over things with
malice aforethought, and loves with
her head instead of her heart
1t is an age at which a woman is
most dangerous because she knows
with deadly certainty what she
wants, and is coldly calculating in
her way of getting it. 1t is an age
at which woman marries for an
establishment instead of a hus-
band, and when she would rather
have string Of pearls than a
hearts devotion.
Forty five is the age Of the sur
vival of the best fitted among wom-
en-. All the others have gone into
the discard. 1t is the age at which
the business woman is at her best,
when she is sanest, most comradely
and most interesting. 1t is the gold
en- age also of the spinster who has
given up the struggle to be a fas-
cinator of men and absorbed herself
in other pursuits. Many women
who have been unattractive in
youth at middle age have an In
dian summer Of loveliness of mind
and person that their springtime
never knew

How 1t Was Meant.

Of course. Mr.. Carnegie had no
thought of assuming a patronizing
attitude in making his offer, but IL
he had stopped to think long
enough, and if he had re-read some
of the pages of his own book on
Triumphant Democracy" he would
have foreseen the revolving aspect
of his proposal and then he would
never have made it.
When man has occupied the
Office Of president of the United
States, the greatest office in the
world, he Is not afterward an OBJ
ject of charity, even If his pockets
should happen to be empty, which
is not likely ever to be the case.
But if it be true that our presidents
have to expend, in order to main
tain the dignity Of their position,
more money than their salary af-
fords them, then it is the PEO-
Plies duty to see that they do not
suffer in consequence The simple
and dignified remedy is to increase
the salary. or provide a pension
from the revenues Of the govern
ment. If Mr.. Carnegie should be
permitted to furnish money out Of
his private resources, the whole
world would, justly, point the finger
of scorn at this great common

Everybody needs certain amount
of money, and the industrious will
always get as much as they need.
But there are a thousand things Of
the highest Importance to man
which neither breed money nor
need it. At the beginning Of your
career you may have to achieve
pecuniary independence, but when
you have achieved it, stop and think
of more important things. II you
do not, you will become among men
what Carthage became among ma
tions-a thing of scorn for histo-
rians, a money bag obstructing the
path of human progress.
Even If you should remain poor
in money all your life, provided thai
you have developed your better ma
ture, have remained upright and
honorable and self-respecting, have
recognized the fact that you have

Rich Mans Philosophy.


Perhaps we owe a vote of thanks
to Mr.. Carnegie for shocking US
into realization of the situation.
Possibly he intended his offer sim
ply as rebuke to our neglect-if
we have really been neglectful.
Anyhow, it is more kind to him to
assume that he had that intention
than to take his proposal as an in
dication that he believes that the
American people need Maecenas,
q rich man to pay their debts and
maintain their dignity.
This is beyond question a money
age. Everything is apt to be meas
ured by It's money value. If a man

Change Made in Rules Governing
Military Records.
Regulation lnaugurated by General
Alnsworth Prevented Profitable In
Vestigatlon Of Valuable Papers
In Files at Washington.

Washington.-Within few days
the military archives housed in the
war department in Washington will
be made accessible to students and in
vestigators-a step which students
and investigators for years have been
endeavoring to have the government
take.
Pending the issuance Of the new reg
ulations, the authorities in charge
have let It be known that those desir-
ing to consult the archives may obtain
permission at the Office Of Secretary
Of War Stimson.
The significance of this revolution
airy change can best be appreciated by
reference to a report made to the
president in 1908 on the historical
documents Of the United States and
signed by Messrs. Worthington G.
Ford, Charles Francis Adams, Charles
M. Andrews, William A. Dunning, Al
bert Bushnell Hart, Andrew c. Nc
Laughlin, Alfred T. Mahan, Frederick
J. Turner and J. Franklin Jameson.
They said, speaking particularly Of
the acts Of congress Of July q. 1892,
and August Is, 1894, which provided
that all military records of the revo-
luton and the war Of 1919 should be
transferred to the war department and
there properly indexed and arranged
for use, that under existing condi-
tons at the war department their ef-
feet has been to make these materials
entirely inaccessible to historians, as
may be seen by perusal Of the regu-
lations of 1897 and still in force.
Those regulations provide for

sons seeking pensions or admissions

Efforts for Bigger Pay-what Has
Been Effected In the Struggles
Which Have Taken Place
Since 1900.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The suspension
Of coal mining in the anthracite re-
gions of Pennsylvania is the fourth
general labor disturbance in the indus
try in IL years. In 1900. the miners
struck six weeks; in 1902 they were
out i've and q half months and in 1906
they again suspended work for six
weeks. In the 1900 and 1902 strikes
the coal diggers, through the United
Mine Workers Of America, won an
Increase in wages and a readjustment
of working conditions. In neither
struggle, however, did the organiza-
ton obtain what It has in some Of the
bituminous felds-straightOut recog-
milton Of the union.
In the following year there was no
general movement. but 102 separate
strikes we're recorded during the year.

Big Loss By Country's Strikes

The 1902 strike was the greatest in
the history Of the country. The union
asked for a 20 per cent. increase In
wages, a reduction in hours from ten
to eight a day and recognition Of the
union. The strike lasted from May
IL to October %. Nearly $4,000
workers were idle and thousands Of
railroad and other workers were
thrown out Of employment. The en-
tire national guard Of Pennsylvania,
about 10000 men, we're called into
service before the struggle came to
an end.
Loss. Was Over 100000, 900.
President Roosevelt was instrument
tai In bringing the two sides together
and to agreeing to the appointing OF
the anthracite coal strike commission
to arbitrate the differences The CON-
mission visited many mines and ex-
amined 55S witnesses between octo-
Der, 1902. and February. 1908. It
awarded q 10 per cent increase In
wages to miners and reduced the hours
of the men from ten to nine q day.

TO OPEN ARCHIVES

The regulations of 1897" which
thus clapped the lid on these public
documents is a long and elaborate
piece of literature. 1t Is signed by
Daniel S. Lamont, as secretary Of
war, and specifies as the chief reason
why the records cannot be used for
the compilation of statistical and 9TH
er data" the fact that the limited
clerical force allowed by law is insult
fcient to enable the department to
comply with such requests without
serious interference with more i'm

Preacher In Prison Three Years az
Murderer, His Supposed Vic

Suffolk, Va.-The fallibility OF
courts, the unreliability Of circumstan-
tial evidence and the depravity Of per
jured witnesses all figure with pc
culiar force in a court drama which
had its denouement here recently.

man already has served three years

the tomb to face those who had sent
Rev. Mr.. Lyons to prison. The rea-

fore congress the necessity Of cutting
down this very clerical force. and as
consistently and regularly discour-
aged any historical students from In
specting the records.
There are those In Washington who
say that General Ainsworth's resigna-
ton has cleared the way for the new
order Of things about to be inaugu-
rated. At any rate, the records here
after will be open.
It will be difficult to estimate what
an enormous loss to American history
these regulations have entailed. The
military archives Of the United States
contain much else than simply the rec
ords Of military operations. As one
man has put It:
The army was so largely the ad-
vance guard Of American civilization
in it's westward march across the con-
tinent that the archives contain a
great wealth Of material for the un-
Outstanding Of pioneer conditions and
the early history Of all parts Of the
United States but the Atlantic sea-
board.
