teeming mind came play after
play, some seventy in all, the
first real plays ever written by
man.
OF these seventy pieces only
six or seven remain, but among
these is the 'Persians," the
most unique combination Of
poetry and patriotism to be
found among men," the Prone
theus," considered by many to be
the sublimest production of the
human mind, and the "Agamem-

which is to this day unsur-

moral law. He was always very
serious and very much in ear
nest, and had he lived to Wit
ness the brilliant ribaldry of
Aristophanes, or the powerful b,,+
unblushing skepticism of En-
ripides, he would have been
shocked to the verge of extinc-

When old, Aeschylus became
completely bald, and legend has
it that one day as he sat out in
the fields thinking, an eagle
flying over him with a tortoise
in her claws and mistaking the
poets bald head for stone
dropped the tortoise, with the re-
suit that Aeschylus was killed.

ten miles from the Athens he
was to help make the intellec-
tual glory of the world.
The youth of Aeschylus coin
cided with the most thrilling pc
riod that the world has ever
known-the uprising of the
Greeks against the attempt of
the Oriental despots to reduce
Greece to the degradation of
Persian satrapy. While in the

THAT the cause of suffrage
has been materially injured
by the actions of the mill
tants in England seems evident
to almost every observer.
Where ten people spoke with
favor of Equal Franchise a year
ago (even when not actively in
terested in the work. nine of that
number to-day are too Disguised
and disturbed with the vandalism
and hysteria of the militants to
maintain their interest.
And yet It is a curious fact that
many people who dwell in the in
ner circles Of English political life
and who claim to know the his
tory of all progressive movements
there declare there is no way to
gain a point where habit and ira
dition must be changed save by
brutal and violent methods.
A former member of Parlia-
ment said: You must first knock
your English lawmakers down;
you must kick and beat them on
the head, and then they will rise
up and ask you what you want.
But until you do this they will not
even listen to you"
That is the only way. he de-
clared, that Ireland has ever
gained any point with England.
But the speaker was himself an
Irishman and a violent agitator
Views of His Daughter.
His daughter was an active
militant. So one must not take
his views too literally.
But many other people have
expressed similar views regarding
the absolute Indifference of the
English lawmaker to any new pro-
gressive idea, and the necessity
for drastic methods if one wishes
to be heard is quite widely ac-
knowledged.
Several people claim that the
militants are nearer gaining the
goal they seek than ever before,
but to the outside observer it
seems far less hopeful than it
was a year ago.
Those who declare any interest
in the cause now hasten to ex-
plain that they are opposed to
militant methods and everywhere
there is a murmur of disapproval
and discomfort over recent occur
rences and in all public places
the suffragists meet with less
consideration and more insults
than previously.
1t seems incredible that women
of good birth and good breeding
and with good brains can per-
form such acts as pouring paint
into letter boxes, cutting and
tearing vehicles, and breaking
windows and blowing up houses.
The methods of the American
suffragists seem wonderfully dig
nifed and admirable in COM
parison.
When an American refers to
this fact, however, and says the

Wife Utterly Changed.

she was such a sweet girl,
and came up believing woman
had only two duties in life" the
mother said, "to be kind and to
look pretty. Now, since her mar
riage, she has gone off on this
tangent, and makes speeches in
public, and forgets to take care
of her appearance, and we are
all quite heart broken. There is
no pleasure in seeing her any
more"
One could not help feeling sor-
ry for this mother, as one might
feel sorry for the mother hen who
sees the duckling she has Matched

And the end is not yet.

And vain the plea of the

er like to let him go by with

Laurelia. l kind O. like to see
him smile when he speaks her
name"
The vegetable woman has a
story herself, they say; l heard
that afterwards. She knew the
man who mends things when she
was young and her skin wasn't
so tanned from working in her
garden as it is now. But she was
delicate and couldn't ever marry,
the doctors said, so she just
planted flowers and vegetables
and had her little house and took
care of her mother-and now she
stops and asks after Laurelia
and is happy TO see how Laurie
las husband cherishes her and
loves her
A Narrow Life.
What a queer, little, narrow
life they lead, the vegetable
woman and Laurelia, and the
man who mends things, and their
kind. No theaters, no operas, no
books. not much music, never
heard of a good picture, never
ate a really good dinner in their
lives, couldn't do a one-step or a
bunny hug to save their lives,
wouldn't know a cabaret if they
met it in Broadway.
And yet, somehow, there was
something about the smile in the
eyes of the man who mends
things that made me feel as
used to when read about brave
knights who went forth to slay
dragons and came back on horse
back to a fanfare of trumpets.
l wish somebody would find
the man who mends things and
pin some kind of a decoration on
his coat; but. suppose. he'd take
it off and make Laurelia put it on
a new hat for herself, and then
smile all the more sweetly-some
men are so odd, aren't they?
