The Prussian Guards, whom King
George and the German Emperor re-
viewed recently, were originated by
Frederick /, whose ambition it was
TO form a royal bodyguard OF giants.
Every country was ransacked by his
agents to supply recruits, and no
head that lowered above the crowd,
even in the bazaars of Aleppo or
Cairo, could escape the crimps of the
Prussian King. The most extrava-
giant sums were offered to men of
exceptional inches, an Irishmen, more
than seven feet high, who was picked
up by the Prussian Ambassador in
London, receiving a bounty of $4,000.
Should the United States purchase
from Mexico 100000 square miles of
Mexico for S30,0O0,000 it will not be
the first addition by purchase to the
great American Commonwealth. A
century ago Napoleon / relinquished

kansas for S15,O00,O0O and in 1867
Russia exchanged Alaska for a cash
payment by the United States of 81

trail America, embracing five miles on
either side of the Panama Canal, was
purchased for $l0,000,000 from the
Republic Of Panama.
Nothing is more amusing than to

Woman S roper Place
BY DOROTHY DIX.

avery few days I get a letter
from some man who emits a
wild and heartbroken wall be-
cause, ne says, woman has gotten out
Of her proper place. Many of these
melancholy gentlemen go so far as to
express the further opinion that IT is
the business of the press to try to
shoe the feminine sex back to where
it belongs.
Speaking for myself, l should glad
~ use what little influence l have
with women in trying to corral them
in their own particular little stockade
if l only knew where that sacred spot
was
What is woman's proper place, any
how? Will some wise brother please
arise in meeting and speak right out
and tell US?
Is woman's proper place the home ?
None of us deny it, and the great ma
jority of women will answer the call
in person II you ring their front door
bell
A Foolish Waste.
But what about the tens of thou
sands of women who have no home in
which to stay, whom no man asked to
marry them, and who are fated to
never know the cling of little chill
dren's arms about their necks? 1t is
all right to say. Back to the home for
yours, sister" to the woman who has
got a good husband, and babies. and a
cottage or a fiat of her own, but how
are you going to keep women in the
domestic sphere who have neither a
kitchen, nor a nursery. nor man OF
their own? l give it up.
Is the woman who ma ipts mixtures
or writes or acts out of her proper
place? l take it that when the good
God put talent into a womans head
that He knew what He was about,
and that He intended her to use the
gifts He gave her. Otherwise it would
be a foolish waste of valuable ma
terial.
Certainly we should all be much
poorer if there had been no Rosa
Bonheurs, no George Eliots, no Char
lotte Brontes no Mrs. Humphry
Wards, none of the thousand delicate
and facile female pens that delight
and entertain us every day OF our
lives.
Is Maude Adams out of her sphere
when she makes us cry? Is Rose
Stahl out of her sphere when she
makes laugh? Are Melba and Tet-
razzini and Cavallieri out of their
places when they lift US up to the
seventh heaven with their voices
Yet all of these women occupy con-
spicuous places and are very much in
public.
A Question.
Evidently the men who complain OF
women being out of their proper
places are thinking about the bust
ness women. Is a clever, strong
healthy young girl out of her place

herself instead of sitting down idly al
