Women writers have not chosen mascu-
line pen names because they wished to APP
pear masculine or to ape men in any way.
They chose them simply as a matter of pro-
lection from a business standpoint. They
knew, just as every woman who has lived
long enough knows, that it is in the very
nature of men to belittle woman's work
in every possible way and at every possible
opportunity
Many women today in the business world
use their initials only in dealing with men,
providing there is a separating distance

do her critics realize the peculiar position in

President Taft's Statement.

WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON,
June 22.-President Taft issued the
following statement tonight:
"A national convention of one Of
the great parties is ordinarily impor-
taut only as a preliminary to a ma
tional campaign for tho election OF
tie president. The Chicago conven-
ton just ended is more than this, and
is in itself the end of a preconven-
ton campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more i'm
portant than those of the election
campaign which is to follow between
the great national parties.
THE question here at stake is
whether the republican party was to
casrge its attitude as the chief con-
servator in the nation of constitu-
tiJnal, economic government, and
was to weaken the constitutional
guarantees Of life, liberty and proper

There are now thirty children, five

The children are the most insplr-

That fact was assured on Friday
night when the crowd at the Chau-

of season tickets, to get the Chautau-

IN order to secure place in the
Redpath Bureau circuit next year for
Columbia it was necessary to secure
pledges for the sale of 800 season
tickets at So each All but 200
tickets had been sold up to Friday
night. At that time twenty citizens
and firms pledged ten additional tick
cts each assuring the coming of the
event.
This will not only be good news to
the people of Columbia but also to
those who live in the country outside
Of the city. For the country people
woke up to the great value of the
Chautauqua when the week had half
passed and during the last two or
three days large crowds have been
here from out of town. Next year
immense crowds are expected.
The people have been slow to ap-
prciate the high quality of the Chau-
tsuqua entertainments, but once they
did come to realize their value to
the community from every good
standpoint, there was no longer any
doubt about sentiment here. And it
is expected that next year a larger
tent will have to be installed in Or

will attend.

lies chord that is responsive to the
touch of humor that sends the April

makes it impossible for him to do
possible things, and the smile that's
within will come to the surface.
But when the sense of humor is
strong enough in the April fool him.
self to appreciate the Joke without
wanting to wiring somebody's neck,
then the jokes worth telling.
Well, this is the way it happened.
Friend Bear is a lawyer whose fine
sense Of humor Is only exceeded by
his ability to scent q fee or make
his clients brief not too brief, nor
is he averse to writing Wills and
codicils when q good fee is in sight.
Last Mondy morning at 1880 o'clock
friend Bear was awakened from his
dreams of big fees and judicial prom
thence by the violent ringing OF the
phone. He was informed that there
was urgent need of his presence at

wished to make his will before he

nize the house. Drive on the Mad

not far from the road. Bear wanted
to know II in the morning would not
do rs well, but any fault with the
earliness of the hour rapidly disap-
peared when it was suggested that
II he did not wish to come another
lawyer would be consulted. With
longing look at the bed, where his
unfinished slumber had been brok-
en-, Bear HE'D himself over to q |
