wo,nan,s sens. Of Honor.

Woman's Sense Of Honor.
Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
Of work, and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable Weapons lie, tears and
q skillfW appeal to the vanity Of man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth OF view and
the truer sense Of honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained when she
herself was a student, and which Is
still largely that of women Of her
own age today. An even more strik.
ing fact is that the majority Of men
do not seem to expect as keen sense
of honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely q deterrent. effect upon the
g1owth OF that sense.--A Woman
Teacher, tn London Spectator.

HITCHCOCK ASKS
CHANGES IN BILL
Praises President for Agitating
Currency Reform.
SAYS MEASURE is GOOD
Asserts He was Surprised the House
Had Framed Such Perfect Docu-
ment-Eisht Banks
Feature Hit.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Although he
admitted that he opposed and criti-
cised President Wilson for demanding
hasty action in currency legislation,
Senator Hitchcock, in his speech in
the senate in favor of the Hitchcock.
Republican draft of the bill, commend
ed the president for his courage in
agitating the currency reform before
congress.
Hitchcock said he rejoiced that the
subject was to be given the acid test
in public debate next session.
Says Measure Is Good.
Despite some defects in the bill, he
said he was surprised that the house
had framed SO good measure. He
then reviewed the differences between
the two branches of the committee
and. pointed out that one of the most
obvious defects in the house bill was
the proposal to establish twelve re-
gional banks. Hitchcock declared there
is no difference in principle be.
tween eight regional banks and four
regional banks, "but there is vast
difference in effect.
ITO my mind, 1t is the difference be-
tween success and failure"
Attacks Eight Banks Feature.
He attacked the eight banks pro
posed by the Owen draft, stating ut
simply means that outside of New
York the country would be cut UP into
seven districts, most of which would
have puny reserve banks possessing
neither the confidence of the banking
world nor the means to meet any
emergency"
A conference of senate Democrats
to discuss currency legislation will be
held today. The call was sent out by
Senator Kern, the majority leader.

Heroic Woman Saves Train.


McGregor, Nov 26.-That Mil
waukee passenger train was not hurl-
ed over the bank into the Mississippi
river just below McGregor with prob
ably great loss of life was due to Mrs.
George Weir, who with her two lit
tie boys lives near the railroad two
miles south of McGregor Mrs. Weir
was walking up the track toward town
with her two children about o'clock
in the afternoon shortly before the
passenger train from the south was
due. As she turned one of the sharp
bends that are so frequent on the
river division she saw a rock weigh
ing 500 to 600 pounds lying on the
track. 1t had rolled from the hill
side, torn through the board fence
which separates the track from the
driveway and was lodged between
the rails. Knowing that the engin-
eer of the approaching train could
not see the danger until he was al
most upon it, Mrs. Weir, putting her
two boys in safe place. caught up
one of their red caps and ran down
the track toward the train. The en-
gineer saw her, put on the brakes and
brought. the train to standstill with
the engine within foot of the
boulder
