The Equal Standard =.
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER.

He had the grace to blush as he thus
revealed his ideas. and yet I knew that
he spoke a truth that lies at the bottom
of many a mans heart. Men pity the
fallen woman in the abstract, they con-
denim women who are hard upon her.
they give money to houses OF refuge
and to MagdaIene homes-and one would
think them the soul of pity-unril a
woman belonging TO them falls. Then
the whole matter changes.
It is not fair, nevertheless. | am told
that it is impossible for a man to rise
above this inherited feeling-yet there
are men who have done so. One, a
plain farmer, learned that his girl-wife
"a pretty, foolish creature-had gone
away with handsome city rascal, and
/ he tried to harden his heart against
her. Yet when, week later, she came
to her senses and returned, pale and

from her knees to his breast and said,

II is all over
A woman to whom | told this story
shrugged her shoulders. What a pu-
sillanimous fellow he must be- she ex-
claimed. such an action was certainly
not like manly man"
No, it was more like God, wasn't il?
! This woman's censure reminded me that
| the men are not the only persons who

standard. And until We women live
up to it, we can not blame men for
condemning our sex when We forget
our womanhood 1t is with women that

must train her boys to believe in this
equal standard, to say. as does one
mother: IF you want your wife 10 be
good, pure woman, make yourself the
kind Of man that a good. pure woman
should marry"
Let us carry the principle further still
Let us not condemn the woman who,
in girlhood, made a false step and has
repented of her sin in bitterness and
anguish, and yet receive into our homes
the man who, we are told, is a clever

| That is, TO my way of thinking, one of

pardon neither the man nor the woman
or we must accept both.

looking men, carrying torches In their
hands. stood on the threshold. They
gave shout Of delight at the sight OF
the trembling, scantily clad girl

said, her eyes blazing with indignation.

In spite Of her struggles he picked
her up and carried her out into the
street. LoIette screamed and struck his
face with her clenched fists. but he only
laughed, looked at her with a beastIv
expression in his eyes and carried her
toward a small house outside the town
As he put her down TO open the door
a young man came rushing from the
direction they had come. Carron cursed
and drew his sword

Carron grinned maliciously.

The words had barely left his Iipz

sword he caught Carron about the
waist. raised him into the air ana
threw him down into the ditch where
the scoundrel lay grooming with two
broken ribs.
For several hours Jean walked on
carrying Lolette in his arms At last
they met a squad Of soldiers under the
command Of r. young lieutenant.
Jean Poitou gave his name and told
where they came from. The lieutenant
who looked like a mere boy, gave Lolette
his cloak and escorted the couple to the
nearest village
Before the soldiers left Jean Potion

row France will be a shambles and now
is the time to make your choice, king

face looked worried

through the crowd and laid his hand
heavily on the tramp's shoulder.

We have no use for people like you In

Then, turning to his fellow citizens. he
added. Let that man be alone with
his madness"
Jean Poitous calm words impressed
the others. a few moments later the
tramp stood alone in the square His
face was flushed and his small eyes were
full OF hatred

his teeth. Death to them an,'
In all Provence there was no more
beautiful girl than Lolette Simon, and
there was not young man IN the town

knew she was not for them, for the

her heart TO Jean Poitou, the young
lawyer.
one night, about a week after the first
rumors Of massacres IN Paris had
reached Antilles. Lolette was lying in
her bed thinking Of Jean, when she
heard shots outside.
She rushed to the window and the

HOME MADE CRADLE
GIVEN TO MUSEUM
Famous Relic of the Early
Days Is Now on
Exhibition.

A homemade cradle, probably one
of the oldest farm implements of its
kind in the state, which has been in
the possession Of the Harris family of
Weber county for the last si1ty-two
years, was received yesterday by the
Deseret museum. Tho scythe, with its
grain-carrying attachment, WIS re-
ferred to by the pioneers as an "arm-
strong At the request of the mu-
scum directors, Leander S. Harris, a
farmer Of the Harrisville district, yes
terday shipped the cradle to Salt
brief history Of Its long existence, the
implement will be given place
among the valued relics.
According to Mr.. Harris, tho cradle
was made by his father, Martin II,
Harris, a Utah pioneer, in 1851. The
parts are securely fastened together
with homemade nails Of the horseshoe
variety, and rawhide thongs. There are
four Fingers in the rack which was
used to carry the grain as 1t fell be-
hind the blade. One Of the fingers is
hewn from native willow, while the
remaining three are Of hickory which
was brought all the way across the
plains by wagon.
For twenty years the cradle was
used by the elder Harris In harvest
ing his grain, and, according to tho
son, the sturdy pioneer was able to
average three acres Of grain per day.
Considering the crude implement used,
this is regarded as good record.
