POLICE USELESS
Mrs. J. B. Gardner Declares
They Did Not Try to Guard
SuffragetteS.

The Washington police are the most
inefficient I ever have SEEN" said Mrs.
j. B. Gardner. SO Josephine street, In
man Park, Yesterday Mrs. Gardner,
who is a suffragist, was present at the
suffrage parade in Washington, though
taking no part in it.
II had a seat on a stand on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, with full view of three
blocks" she said. AN hour before the
time for the suffragists to pass, the
street was packed and damned, and the
policemen apparently made no effort
to clear it, When the women appeared
at last they were swamped by the
crowd. and had not a troup of cavalry
from Fort Myers cleared part of the
way, it would have been worse.
las 1t was, the crowd closed in be
hind them, and they were swamped
again There were fully 300 policemen
in that stretch, but they made no eff
fort that I saw to help the suffragists.
Instead, many of them laughed. Though
l was not near enough to hear 1 i'm
agine many jeered.
Il saw Miss Inez Milholland, of New
York, impersonating Joan of Arc, al
most thrown from a rearing horse,
while policemen stood by and offered
no aid.
But the contrast was more startling
the next day when the inaugural pa
rade took place. There was no riot
then, and the street was clear for
blocks and blocks. If the police force
couId baca CLEARED the way for one
parade, why couldn't they for the
other?
Frankly, they we're the most inefi-
cient specimens of manhood that l ever

SPIDER TALK


In certain church there lived two
spiders. One day the spiders chanced
to meet and got into conversation
relative to their domestic habits.
II live under the pulpit" said the
first spider. 'and every week run
a terrible risk OF getting killed. Dur
ing his sermon the minister is con-
stantly banging down his hand. and
have to crawl into the smallest pos
sible space to keep from being
crushed"
"You are foolish to stay in such
a place." commented the second
spider. "You ought to come and live
with me. never get disturbed from
one years end to another"
You don't mean itv' was the sur
prised rejoinder of the first spider
'sWhere do you liver"
Il live in the poor box answered
the second spider.

tion. and second. the lesson that
knowledge is not valuable to human
ity unless it is communicated.
Shutting himself away from that
part of the world which calls itself
busy and, until now, hardly known
to the world at large. he has devoted
his whole long life to the single aim
Of learning all that an observant man
could learn about the millions OF lit
tie six-legged beings which most Of
Us either despise or detest. He
stands alone, as on pedestal, for 1t
is generally conceded that he knows
more about insects than any OF his
contemporaries or any of his prede
cessOrs. Do you think that such
knowledge is not worth acquiring
Then come back again a century
hence, if you can, and see what the
encyclopedias will be saying Of him
then. Thousands of men whom you
now regard as monuments of sue
cess" viii have only a few lines de-
voted to them-if anything at all
while Henri Fabre will probably have
columns. II is only by concentration
that he has achieved this lasting
fame.
AS to the second lesson that he
teaches, we need only remark that
he understands as few men of science
do, that the wish of the entire world
to know what its few original in
vestigators are finding out is a wish
that must be respected and gratifed-
for otherwise science is merely a thing
of privilege, confined to kind of in
tellectual aristocracy. Accordingly
he has written his books in language
which anybody can understand, and
in style whose beauty attracts tens
of thousands Of readers.
HAS NOT SUFFERED
Yet his science has not suffered
from his popularization of it. Dar-
win, when he wrote his great book
on the Origin of Species spoke
with enthusiastic admiration of Henri
Fabre as "the inlmitable observer"
but, at the same time, thousands Of
people who were not naturalists were
reading Fabre's books with zest
which is too often confined to the
consumption Of novels, and his read
ers have increased every year since.
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-16

ERE is face better worth
studying than those Of the null
timiIlionaires. political bosses,
leaders OF fashion and disturbers Of
peace whose countenauces are so con-
stantly before the public's eye.
II is the face of 4 man, 80 years old,
who has devoted his whole life to the
study OF the manners, customs, arts
and ideas OF the worlds smallest in
habitants-the insects
Il you doubt whether insects have
ideas you have only to read some Of
the captivating books that Henri
Fabre-the man in the picture-has
written in order to be convinced that
# those little creatures do not think
they do something just as wonderful.
DO you say that these are small
verities which the ways of q spider or
grasshopper reveal 10 us2" ex-
claims Maurice Maeterlinck, in his
praise Of Henri Fabre. But there
are no small verities. There is only
one verify, whose mirror seems TO
our imperfect eyes broken, but whose
every fragment, whether it reflects
the evolution Of a star or the flight OF
q bee, conceals the law supreme"
In France where they are erect
ing, at Avignon, a monument to Henri
Fabre, as In ancient Egypt and an
cient Rome they erected monuments
to the Pharaohs and the Caesars,
while they were yet living, they call
him the modern La Fontaine-the La
Fontaine of Science. Without depriv-
ing the lower world OF life Of any
Of its poetry. he has surrounded 1t
with greater fascination Of biography
and history-the biography OF bees
and ants and the history of communi-
ties whose whole domains cover only
& few square feet Of ground And
these recitals are full of poetry and
gination-guided by science I'm
til you have read some OF them
you can not imagine how interesting
they are. 1t is with reason that the
French are now saying that the chill
dren Of the future will read the true
stories Of Henri Fabre about insect
life as eagerly as hitherto children,
and many. grown people, have read La
Fontaine's fables.
TWO LESSONS
Fabre's life teaches two great les
Sons: first, the lesson of concentra-
