She was married to Mr.. Wilcox
when she was twenty-nine He was
an editor and writer and greatly en-
couraged her in her chosen career.
Mrs. Wilcox's volume, entitled
Poems and Passion" appeared sew
eral years ago. They called forth
good deal of comment. some of 1t.
serious admiration. some of indigna-
ton and a good deal of 1t sarcastic
disapproval There is something
pathetic in the spectacle said one
critic. ut Is as if some nice little
Yankee schoolniarm should attempt
to initiate the antics of bachante;v
but aide from these too-bassionate
verses Mrs. Wilcox has written a
great deal that Is sensible and her
optimism and good cheer will always
win for her a large group of admir-
ing readers.
Although Miss TarbelI's editorial
work ranks her among the very gift
ed women of the country it is chiefly
for her History of the STANDARD oil
Company" that she is known to the
public.
Among other famous women born
on November 5 is the Duchess de
Berry, the Princess Caroline Ferdi-
nande Louise of Naples, who was born

of the royalists who went through
the French revolution, and carried
her claims through the, republic that
followed, through the empire and the

The bacillus of cooperation, abroad
in the world, has affected nations in
variety of ways; in some it's activity
has been directed chiefly to problems
of distribution, in others triumphantly
applied to financial credit, and in still
others to agriculture. In every new
country it invades, the social effect
differs quite as markedly as the prac-
teal application. Denmark and Italy,
to select two countries whose condi-
lions are opposed and whose methods
in manner compliment each other,
have especial success in production,
further manufacture, and marketing
of the things which are natively
grown; three fields in which there Is
usually much waste and loss from the
limitations of the farmers, not always
caused by ignorance or inexperience,
but often by economical factors which
are not clearly understood.
Denmark, using cooperation only
in such manner as TO separate all the
interests of the farmers, helping TO
maintain his entity, has taken good
care To make her citizens Individuals
on the land and keep them SO; the
several forms of society. each pro-
vided for a single detail are quite
different from the many purposed

It seems that with Senator Hoke
Smith and Clark Howell, editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, among the
notables comprising the National
Child Labor Committee, Georgia
would provide reasonable safeguards
for the children OF its poor, says Col
liers Weellly--but Georgia does not.
Apparently Georgians are more con-
cerned with seeing their factories
make money than with giving boys
and girls chance to make good citi-
zens of themselves. During its recent
session the States law-making body
turned down two extremely mild
child welfare measures. One of the
bills provided that children should be
sent to school at least four years,
from the age of eight to twelve. The
other forbade the employment of
small children in factories, setting the
age limit at twelve after 1913, at thir-
teen after 1914, and at fourteen after
1915.
Both bills contained exceptions

In many respects THESE letters are
fully comparable with 1.-THE Oregon
Trail" the classic which established
the first reputation of Francis Park
man.
Colonel Aliens publication was like
guide book and fascinating
romance as well, so that many thou
sand persons, following the directions
and the story he told at the same
time, crossed the great plains to the
Pacific coast.
1t was my good fortune to meet
Colonel Allen some time ago. l
realized how fondly he cherished the
recollections of his romantic and
thrilling adventures In the great and
mystic country which is now the
magnificent empire west of the Mis-
souri, river
Colonel Allen is very fond of a wood
fire. The flicker of the flames seem
to stimulte his recollections, and il
was before a wood fire in his library,
the only light being that of the fire
itself, that he told me several very
interesting anecdotes. One of them
related to an early experience of his
with George b. Mcclellan, who was
at that time a brevet captain in the
United States army, and one to q
later experience when this brevet
captain had become Encouragement in
command OF the Army of the Poto-
mac.
IT was living in the early fifties,''
said Colonel Allen. lin a cabin which
| had built in Olympia, in the State
of Washington. l was very glad to
see any new face and always tried
to make visitor comfortable. There
came one day to my cabin a young
man who was Of most attractive per-
sonality. His name was George =.
Mcclellan, and he was a brevet cap
tain. found Mcclellan n most
amiable and engaging character
invited him to share my hospitality
for as long time as he wanted to.
He accepted my invitation in the
spirit in which I gave it. and he lived
with me in my cabin for several
months. A strong attachment was
established between us. and, although
after his departure | did not see him
again for years, yet was royal to
the friendship which was ut that
time established.

Year by year more and more OF the
work of the world is taken UP by ma
chinery, says Golfers Weekly. In
bulletin recently issued by the govern
ment 1t is estimated that four and
one-half million factory workers IN
the United States turn out a product
equal to the hand labor of forty-hve
million men. %
This means that in the factories 80
per cent. of the work is done by ma
chinery. A very larg part of this
machinery is driven by steam power,
which means largely coal power, and
both the getting and burning of this
coal involves d terrible waste. In the
United States alone the production OF
coal now reaches nearly half a billion
tons. and in the whole world far
above a billion tons. And 1t is esti-
mated that this means the actual
mining of half again as much coaL'
One-third is lost or left in the mines
in such shape that 1t cannot be used.

two thirds neutrality-suspicious. 80 per
cent. is lost in the burning. At least,

THE COOPERATIVE KINGDOM

collectivist association of Raiffeisen's
ideal Denmark presents today the
unique example of a government
which draws u large part of its sus-
tenance from cooperation. 1t Is
well called the cooperative kingdom.
The country has long been pre-emi-
nent in dairying, and the Danes have
specialized with great success, pro-
viding England with butter, bacon
and eggs, and reaching out toward a
greater export trade. The farmers
have also erected large cooperative
beet-sugar factory and a consider
able number of cooperative preserv-
ing factories. This entire business,
including the immense yield of root
snd grain crops and the export of
fine live stock at fancy prices is car
ried on by population no larger than
that of Chicago, and in an area two
and a half times the size of New
Hampshire Denmark has solved her
human problem by means of proper
education; she has solved her land
problem by means of cooperative
mortgage credit and government aid
and best of all, she has attacked the
most troublesome difficulties between
the farmer and his market with
success.-John J.. Mathews in
Harper's Magazine.

Null TIPLYING HUMAN POWER

this is true of the coal burned in en-
gines. Even the finest quadruple ex-
pansion engines, with all the mooern
devices of super heated steam and
the like to augment their capacity,
do not utilize more than IA per cent.
of the energy stored in the coal, while
the average steam engine of COM
mercial use does not get more than
or per cent. In other words, 1t Is
only about per cent. of the chained
up sunlight In the ground that event.
ually becomes available for human
needs.
And. further than this, the mere
hauling and handling and storage and
distribution of this coal costs the
United States alone probably a full
billion of dollars. The coal traffic is in
deed the chief item of railway trans
portation. From all this it is suffi-
GENTLY clear why the problem of
utilizing coal energy has so deeply en-
gagged the minds of inventors and en-
gineers, and why even q relatively
small gain would mean so much to
the human race.

Forgot Presidents Name

So little Is the average citizen OF
Switzerland interested in politics that
he frequently fails to remember the
name of the president of his country.
DR.. Henri Flournoy, of Geneva, clint
cal assistant in the University of
Geneva, who is travelling in the
United States on pleasure and to
study the operation of medical
schools, could not recall the name Of
the president of his country. "You
see, we have a change in the presi-
dency every year, and the office OF
chief executive is of SO little i'm
portance that one does not tax his
memory with the name Of the in
cumbent. The constitution of Switz-
erland provides that the president
shall be elected by the executive
council. which corresponds to the
Presidents Cabinet in this country.
No man can be elected to the presi-
dency for two consecutive terms, but
occupancy of the presidential office
does not sdisqualify a man for future
election

Carpet Superstitions

A Persian never walks or stands
upon a carpet in his shoes. In Per-
STA carpets are held in great venera-
ton; often they will remain in the
family for generations, such careful
treatment do they receive. When the
owner Of a valuable carpet dies he
very often gives instructions that It
shall be cut up in pieces as heirlooms
to his successors, and, should q mem
Der OF the family not receive a por-
tion, he would feel very greatly
sighted.
The designs of Persian carpets have
been handed down from remote ages.
Each family keeps its own design. no
two carpets being alike, for fear of
the 'evil eye"
The wool of which the Persian car
pet is made is taken from the lustrous
wool of special breed of sheep or
from the goat, which is dyed by
means of certain plants and shrubs.
1t would be a criminal offense for
persons to weave a carpet according
TO a European design, for a law has
been made by the shah especially ror-
bidding this.--Tit- Bits.

De and she

She had her way of doing things
And he had his, you know;
Patience had somehow taken wings,
Rivers from springs will flow,
She would insist that sire was right,
AS positive was he,
And twas most unpleasant sight
To see them disagree
She had a mind she claimed her own,
He had will strong,
She abdicated woman's throne
Perhaps too he did wrong;
But does it not seem common sense
That each should yield bit
On things of minor consequence
Antagonism quit.
Some people go through life on edge
When if they'd "flatten" out
On words of sharp sarcasm hedge
Much trouble they would hout;
Less vanity less sef-conceit,
Less ugly stubbornness,
Then fewer obstacles they'd meet
And gain more happiness.
When oppostes together clash
There's music in the air
But result of acting rash
Its tones of despair
Resentment oft has gnawing tooth
Which eats ones life away,
Destroys vitality of youth
And crowns the head with gray

Il had built the emigrant road over
the Natchess pass. 1t was a very
formidable undertaking and of a kind
which none but a young man who
dares to venture everything would
have attempted
Captain Mcclellan became familiar
with this emigrant road, and he

commentator of it.

days in the early fifties If Mcclellan
saw them.

some urging on my part. In an in
slant out came Mcclellan, smiling,
holding out both hands with the ut
most cordiality and interest He took
me Immediately past the uniformed
splendors into his office.
After a brief chat he said to me:

take right hold. in my commissary de-

it seems to me to see YOU Before I

DIVIDENDS ABOVE CHILDREN

which afforded ample opportunities
for evasion, as is usually the case
when such laws are framed in South
ern States. The Georgia Cotton
Manufacturers Association did not
openly oppose the bills, but still there
were not votes enough to put them
on the statute books. A senator
named Spinks, the president of
small cotton mill. declared that he
was not a member of the Georgia
Cotton Manufacturers Association.
that the manufacturers did not really
want any legislation. and that 1t was
necessary for ten-year-old children to
work in cotton mills to support
widowed mothers and invalid fathers.
The attitude of Senator Splnks seems
to be that of a large element of
Georgia's voting population, else the
people would elect q Legislature that
would pass laws to keep little boys
and girls out of cotton mills and in
school until they have reached the
average stage of physical and men
tai development.

To a Girl Engaged.


From the New Orleans States.
How" asks Engaged" can a girl
be sure the man she loves means all
he says?"
The cold, hard fact about it is that
she cannot. Neither can he. Solomon.
who knew lot, said all men wero
liars; and human experience in tho
centuries since hasn't produced many
reasons to change the verdict.
Not necessarily wilful and deliber-
ate liars-let's give them that benefit.
But let US also be candid. A man in
love is like man in drink-he is too
intoxicated to be responsible for all
he says.
Do you suppose there ever was a
man in love, from Adam down, who
didn't swear by all the deities that he
would never let the woman take In
washing to support him? Yet the
washtub supports almost as many
homes as the pick and shovel.
Circumstances change. When q fell
low gets down to earth after his
emotional tour of the stars, he is apt
to be practical and matter OF fact. IL
he remembers his ,ecstatic promises at
all, 1t is vaguely. The wise woman
doesn't presume upon them. She just
marks off the discount to profit and
loss. and thanks her luck If there Is
enough left to make the basis of a
working agreement.
No. dear, you can't believe all that
Romeo tells you, but you can judge
him fairly well on form. Is he kind
to his old mother? Has he kept a
clean record in the responsibilities
around his present home? Has he
good men friends who believe in him
and trust him.? Back of the froth
and embroidery of his impassioned
chatter do you detect the rudiments
of plain horse sense? Has he shown
gumption in tackling the business Of
making a living for two or more? L
If SO, and you really love the chap,
and would be willing to pare potatoes
for him until death do you part, then
we guess it's all right.
