H,VERY now and then some
Ancient Mariner, or An
cient Mariness. rises up
and ascends to the Walling Place,
and beats upon his or her breast,
and cries out that there is no
more gallantry among men, and
that chivalry is dead.
These prophets of woe base
their melancholy prognostica-
tions upon the fact that men are
not as glib at paying women
f1owery compliments as they used
to be, nor so supple about jump
ing to pick up a handkerchief
when lady drops it, and that
when a tired man gets seat in a
street car he's mighty apt to let
husky, able bodied woman stand.
Therefore, the people who OBJ
serve these small fry phenomena
affirm that chivalry is dead, and
if they happen to be antisuf-
fragists they go a step farther
and assert that they know who
killed Cock Robin. 1t was the
women themselves, and they did
it by going into business and
wanting rights.
1t always makes me mad,
through and through. to hear
anybody claim that chivalry is
dead. On the contrary, l assert
that for the first time in the his
tory of humanity. chivalry has
been born into the world, and
that the modern, commonplace,
tweed suited business man could
give Sir Launcelot, and Sir Gal
ahad, and all the other rattling
tin-pan Knights of the Table
Round points on a real chivalry
so big and fine that they never
ever dreamed of it. much less
practiced it.
Talk about your chivalry Of
the past, when it wasn't safe for
a woman to put her foot outside
of her own door without some
body going along to protect her.
Talk about your chivalry of the
past. when women were nothing
but slaves of their men folks!

Their Acts Are the Very
Highest Proof of True
Chivalry.

consider this the highest pos
sible proof Of true gallantry and
of real chivalry, for these men
protected the girls against them
selves, and they sacrificed their
own selfish pleasure for the good
of women. When a man has
reached the place where he won't
let girl waste the sweetness and
fragrance OF her youth on him
when he knows he can make no
adequate return for it, and when
he refuses to marry unless he
knows he can make his wife hap
py, we have got a modern article
of knighthood in flower that backs
the old brand off the board.
Chivalry dead! Huh! As Mark
Twain said once concerning a
premature obituary of himself
that was printed, Reports of
death greatly exaggerated"

Chivalry Is Not Dead, as
Many Would Have Us
Believe.

Talk about your chivalry of the
past, when a father left all of
his money to his sons, when a
husband didn't hesitate to strip
his wife of every cent she pos
sessed on her wedding day, and
when brothers thought it all
right to take everything and
leave the sisters nothing! Talk
about your chivalry of the past,
when women were denied an edu-
cation. and a right to exercise
the talents that nature had given
them, when they were prevented
from even going out into the
world and making an honest liv-
ing!
But the chivalry of to-day
makes it safe for a woman to go
alone from one end of the world
to another because every man is
her protector The chivalry of
to-day secures a woman's own
property to her. The chivalry of
to- day gives her chance to fol-
low any occupation she desires,
and to make just as good in it as
a man could. The chivalry of to-
day in some places-and it soon
will everywhere-even gives
women an equal right with men
in government.
And believe me, brethren and
sisters, picking up handker-
chiefs, and even street car seats.
are mighty poor substitute for
property laws and the right to
make an honest living.
Another way, and a very inter
esting one. end a most important
one, in which the new chivalry of
men is expressing itself is the
masculine attitude toward wom-
an and the marriage proposition.
In the old gallant days" which
so many people mourn, a man

Men Are More Considerate
of Women Now Than
in the Past.

That was the way the chival-
rous man of the past looked at
the tender subject, and all of us
know a dozen women who were
the victims of this selfish and
heartless cruelty How different
ly the man of to-day regards the
matter is attested by hundreds of
letters that come to me from
girls to whom this new chivalry
is so unexpected and novel that
they are bewildered by it,
In these letters girl will
write that she doesn't know what
to think of the conduct OF GER
tain man-that she knows he
likes her, and enjoys her society,
but that he has frankly told her
that he does not want to marry
her, or for some reason that he
can not marry her, and that she
must not let him keep her from
marrying somebody else If she
wants to.
One man told a girl that he
would never marry anybody be-
cause there was insanity in his
family. Another told a girl that
he was too poor to marry. and
that she must not think of wait
ing for him, because it would be
years and years before he could
hope to support a wife in decent
comfort, and that he would never
marry any woman and drag her
down to poverty.
Still another man told a girl
that he could never marry as long
as his mother lived because he
could never leave her-she had
made the most heroic sacrifices
for him in his childhood-butt that
she was of so eccentric and dis
agreeable a disposition that it
would be martyrdom for any
young woman to have to live with
her
Each of these men urged the
girl he liked, or perhaps loved,
to put him out of her thought,
and to marry some more fortu-
nately situated swain while the
sun of her youth and beauty
shone.

considered that he had a perfect
right to love and ride away. If
he enjoyed woman's society he
had no hesitation in monopoliz-
ing as much of it as he cared to,
even if he knew that his atten-
tions were without intention, and
that he was never going to let his
philandering take him so far as
the altar.
1t was nothing to him that he
let a girl waste her youth and
beauty on him, or that he, who
never intended to ask her to
marry him, kept away other men
who would have been glad to
have married her, or that he let
her fill her heart so full with love
for him that there would never be
room in it for affection for some
honest man

fenses of battleship. One got in by
presenting a card which certified that
the bearer was a regular member OF a
club with a nice Indian name. Two or
three times the police tried to raid it.
Then there were battles all over the
street. while the patrons were slipped
to safety by subterranean routes. 1t
was his boast then that he did not pay
license to the city or graft to the po-
lice. The upper circles used to visit

CITY Official Who Aided in Graft Pros

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Eaton. Colo.-Stricken by a myster-
ious malady which is puzzling ply
scians of this city and Greeley, Will
liam f. Tilton, city marshal OF this
.own, was found unconscious in the
city hall at midnight and raved and
struggled with friends until he was
placed under the influence of opiates.
Tilton was apparently well when his
friends last saw him.
Tilton rayed constantly about the
Weld county graft cases in which he
was one of the prominent figures. 1t
was to him that Z. c. Stevens, who
was recently sued for breach of prom
ise by woman convict he met while
at Canon City, gave $500 in back
room at the city hall at Fort Collins in
return for certain testimony he be-
lieved Tilton would give for one of
the defendants.
One of the most dramatic moments
of trial filled with sensations came
when District Attorney G. A. Carlson,
to whom Tilton hastened the next day
and told the story, tossed the bills into
Stevens lap and brought about, to a
large extent, the conviction of two for
mer county commissioners at Canon
City on charge of perjury.
Tilton's condition is regarded as crit
ical by his physicians.
