ARE WOMEN UNDERSTOOD
lie MatIn Of Paris Gathers Answers
from All Quarters-Woman Hits
at Coquettes.

Parls.-Le Matin Is at present en-
gagged III gathering together one of its
periodical symposiums on burning
questions of the day. The question
that everybody 10 Just now trying to
answer is Are Women Understood?
Every day two or more columns Of the
papers are filled with the answers.
from which the following selections
have been made:
According to you-a man who, see-
ing women as they are, let's them be-
lieve he sees them as they would like
to be- According to us-simply a.
man who loves them.
"A man who understands woman,
Is he who considers her not as an in
ferior, but as his equal, at the same,
time recognizing in her certain super
iorities of tact, delicacy, devotion and
courage, without proudly showing his,
consciousness of his own personal SUI
periority in physical and intellectual
power"
1.-THE man who understands women,
is one who thinks 1t charming that,
we should be coquettish. fond Of dain-
ties. money and flirting, and who!
thinks and tells 40 that all our cap,
rices are adorable"
Young men have gifts to fascinate
women, but they do not understand
them. The man who does is he who
no longer tells them untruths, having
nothing more to hone or expect from
them"
"Such a phenomenon as man who
understands women does not exist. 1t
would be preferable to be set to
square the circle than to understand
4 woman"
A woman signing herself Zone Who
Is Not Proud Of Being a Woman"
writes:
1.-THE man who fancies he under
stands women 10 he who fiatters their
foolish whims. For woman who
wishes to be q serious and faithful
friend the position is not 80 compli-
Gated and she does not need to re-
fleet whether she IL understood or not.
The only true women are those who
are good mothers and good wives
all the rest are superfuous. They are
odious talking figures, everything
with them false-physique and morals
alike-they interfere with life. All.
II I were a man would not spare the
coquettes. They should see whether
] understood them!"
A woman signing herself "Incom-
PRISE" relates how only once she met
q man on board a Mediterranean
steamer who was able to please each
and all of the ladies'. "He Joined in
our conversations without leading
them. With him one felt perfect
safety, a charm Infinitely rare. which
allows woman openly to express the
sentiments Of her heart without the
perpetual fear that man will take
advantage Of their innocent sincerity
10 attack them. Believe me, every
woman appreciates this pleasure of
confidence. We are sometimes weary
Of attacking and defending The man
who is not watching us always gives
Us feeling of rest"

dacy of John B. Kendrick for United
states senator from Wyoming has been
seriously involved.
kendrick, wealthy cattleman nea,
the Montana line, made application to
cut timber in Montat setting forth
that ne was resident of that state,
and got $4,000 feet for building pur-
poses. Hendricks candidacy resulted
in his being called upon for an expla-
nation, which he made to the effect
that he was an actual resident of
Montana, although claiming a legal
residence in Wyoming"
hendrick was chosen as the Demo
cratic candidate in the recent primary
election.
A department ruling that he is a
bona fde Montana resident would re-
suit, it is expected, in his rejection
by the Democratic party in wyoming.

MANDANIS DENIED

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 4.-The su-
preme court has denied the applica-
tion of the San Diego and Arizons
railroad for a writ of mandamus
against the California state board of
equalization in the matter of the taxes
of the railroad for the present year
which the board had refused to accept
on the ground that the road was nul
and is not in operation.
The petition was made to the su-
preme court by the road after the San
Diego county assessor, National City
and Chula Vista had levied local taxes
against the road.
In denying the petition, the supreme
court declared that the petition was
not filed until after the state board o.
equalization had already turned over
the assessment roll to the state con-
troller making ii too late for the lat
ter to act in the matter. In its appli-
cation the road denies that il is not
operating.

VIEWS OF THE ARCTIC At
OPERA HOUSE NEXT WEEK

There will be a real treat in store
for lovers of adventure and natural
history when the marvellous Carnegie
Alaska Siberia moving pictures will be
seen for the first time at the Opera
House. These wonderful pictures were
taken by Captain Kleinschmidt, the
fearless Arctic big game hunter, who
has spent the greater part of his life
among the Eskimos in the land of the
midnight sun. The camera shows this
most daring tribe of Eskimos at work
and at play, harpo oning walrus, stalk
ing the ponderous polar bear or pur-
suing the human-like seal This unique
figure of the north is always interest
ing. The scenes portray the Eskimo
children and, in fact, the entire colony
indulging in their favorite games. -
moose hunting in Alaska is among the
very interesting and thrilling scenes
shown by the camera. The great mon
arch Of the twilight lands jungles is
seen almost within arms reach of the
camera wounded and at bay in a dense
fastness. Herds of mountain goats
scurrying across the bleak crags of
an Arctic range; primitive railroading &
in Alaska; totem poles of a hundred or
more wierd and fantastic designs;
manalup harnessed to a plow and
other remarkable pictures are shown
on the screen. One of the most inter
esting scenes shows a barren island in
the center of the Behring sea. Precipi-
tous walls of rock 500 feet high shut
the granite waste from the sea. There
are only two landing points on the
entire shore line. At one of these the
hills rise at somewhat easier angles
and there on the slopes are perched a
score or more of Eskimo houses, little
round cheese box affairs propped up
on drift wood stills and enclosed with
walrus skins. The pictures have ere
ated genuine sensation wherever
shown and are declared to be the
crowning achievement of motion pic
ture photoEraphY.
