n AFTER DEAR:
N remember hearing you
speak of Mr.. Trask The
thought that you might have been Mrs.
Trask may brace dear old daddy up.
I hope so. I rehearsed all day yester-
day and it was very interesting The
hard work doesn't bother me at all.
Yes those must have been glorious
days when the chief qualities of wom-
en- were their fOrtitude, patience and
unselfish service. No wonder men put
them on . pedestal and then jumDed
from under. The men had everything
their own way in those days They
said to women in effect: You are
good and beautiful. 1 love you be-
cause you are so patient You are so
good, and I admire you so much for
that quality. that the things of the
world are not for you. It's not good
for you to know what's going on out
side 1t would cOntaminate you It is
better for you to be good and stupid"
1t is a fine game of bunco. mater
dear, that the male has been handing
teaches her children that it is a fine
thing to die in war. That makes them
want to die and, therefore, when
Japan wants them to fight they fight
like fiendS. Man has been working a
similar trick on women for many gen
erations. Praise anyone for certain
virtues and. even though they have
them not. they will take them on,
rather than lose the praise. Man has
been telling woman that her patience,
fOrbearance, innocence and weakness
were what appealed to him. but all
during that time man was having a
gay old time on the outside.
He had woman cOwed. But now the
tables have been turned Oh. mater,
dear, we have men on the rum Men
don't know where to find US any more.
We are not satisfied with one mans
praise, but innOcently accept it from
other sources Whereas we formerly
did not know how long we could hold
them, they now do not know how long
they can hold US. We praise them now
for their patience, forbearance, innO-
cence and weakness.
Mater, dear, you certainly did bring
daddy up the wrong way. If you had
been a new fashioned woman, you
would have had him eating out of your
hand. Women have come out of the
darkness of the clO;sJer, where man
for his own convenience put them,

A Different Generation.

Now, mother darling, you must
admit that you never even tried
to get daddy to read the bible TO US.
Things really are different now. It's
not that the younger generation is
worse than the older genera ton, but
the manner of living is different.
There are purposeful movements un-
der way. Take the suffrage move

that man-made laws have not been
just to them. that their children have
not had sufficient protection; that men

Friends ofDr. E. P. Quain, who

some research work and study,
will regret to learn that he was
taken with an acute attack of
gall stone trouble while in Cleve-

known surgeon.
The operation was performed
several days ago, and the latest
reports are to the effect that
DR.. Quain came through the
operation nicely and is progressing
well toward recovery.
Mrs. Quain is with the doctor,
having accompanied him east on
a trip to Washington to attend
the meeting Of the National AS
sociation for the Prevention of
tuberculosis, and will remain in
Cleveland until DR.. Quain is
able to start for home, which will
be in a couple of weeks.
The many friends of DR.. ,Quain,
while regretting this necessity
for an operation, will be glad to
learn that he is now assured of
q safe recovery.-Tribune. q

girls, against whom charges had
been made by the detectives, wer'

Tossing their guilt when confront

bon societies. This will probably
be held in Chicago in July. At
that time matter governing the
birds will be determined and dist
ricts or zones arranged in which
there will be certain periods for
closed and for open seasons for
shooting. Many birds not now
protected will be under the new
law and all spring shooting will
be permanently abolished. The
regulations must be promulgated
three months before they are
operative and will in no manner
effect fall shooting in this part
of the country. They will be in
force however, all over the
United States in time to prevent
spring shooting in 1914.
.''North Dakotans," concluded
Col. Brewer, "need not fear their
favorite sport will be eliminated.
The season may be shortened
somewhat, but wild ducks and
geese will be shot in the fall for
many years. As North Dakota
is one Of the states prohibiting
spring shooting, the changes here
will be less radical than those Of
some other sections of the coun-
try. More migratory birds will
undoubtedly be added to the pro-
tected list"

Two Men Have
, Narrow Escape
Elevator Shoots From Seventh
Floor Twice Stopping On
Way Down.

Bismarck, N. D., June e.
Two men had fearfully close
call with death Tuesday evening
when the passenger elevator in
Hotel Mckenzie went tearing
through the shaft, from near
the top Of the big building to the
floor Of the basement.
The two men in the car when
it fell were, j. g. johnson, aged
about %, and Adam Pelkey, aged
10, the youth running the eleva-
tor. Both were badly injured and
were rushed to the hospital.
The car, onits way up the build
ing, stopped at the sixth floor
and let L. G. Hennessey out. The
car then started for the seventh
floor with johnson, but before it
reached the landing, the cable
broke loose and the car started
down, making a terrific noise as
it fell. 1t made two distinct stops
on its. way down, but the safety
clutches seemed unable to hold
the car. The longest fall the car
made was from about the third
floor from where 1T fell tn the
basement. l.
When johnson was taken from
the car he was unconscious and
was badly cut about the face and
head, and was bleeding profusely.
After being examined at the hos
pital it was thought that his jaw
might be broken, and he also sus-
tanned several fractures in the
lower limbs. He regained con-
sciousness about II O'Clock, and
after that hour he seemed to rest
quite easy and slept at intervals.
It is believed he will recover,
unless he should suffer internal
hemorrhages.
Adam Felkey, the elevator boy,
is at the same hospital, where he
was treated, and, while he was
badly injured, ne was not uncOn-
-scious any Of the time. He was
cut considerably about the face
and .one Of his legs was badly in-
jured.
What caused the elevator car
to break free from it's fastenings
cannot be accounted for. It has
been thoroughly examined and
tested every evening, and was
carefully examined by an expert
about an hour before the ac-
cident occurred. The car has al
ways been kept in the best Of con
dition. The cause Of accident is
q mystery.
