Baskerville Citizen.)

Padding in canoes down the French
Broad river from French Broad camp
at Brevard, twenty-four campers who
are spending the summer at that place
arrived in Asheville Wednesday after
noon at 1 o'clock and took up quar-
ters in the Swannanoa-Berkley hotel
They remained in the city through the
day and last night took the train bac.
to camp. While here they hiked to
ali points of interest near the CITY
starting at an early hour yesterday
morning.
The party occupying six canoes aad
divided into two fleets left the comr
on the banks of the river Nor da-
morning at 7:45 o'clock.
TIE w1ole trip, covering totweer
sixty and seventy miles, was made
without a single portage although
has long been considered an impossible
feat to travel the distance in a bet o.
any description. Adventures of vari
Gus kinds were encountered all aIonf
the route and on several different oe
casions the canoes would have to b.
lifted off the rocks. The trip was no
considered dangerous on account 0.
the shallowness of the water. 1t is
considered all the more remarkable
that the party was able to make til
trip without portage on account O.
the fact that he river is lower thar
usual at the present time.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
THE PHILOSOPHY OF A CHORUS GIRL

Miss Dunlap and l went over to
Elienes to dinner yesterday. The
more see of her the better like her.
Eliene was frankly curious about
life on the stage.
81 can't tell you much about it,
said Miss Dunlap, because this is my
first season, but l imagine it holds
only the same temptations and hard
ships that come to a girl who must
earn her living out IN the world.
81 do not believe there is a woman
in the work-a-day World-it she be
honest-Who has not at some time or
another had a sex temptation or at
least sex bride.
at is a polite fiction that women,
especially unmarried women, shall ig-
more sex, but every man glories in it,
and from the time he is twenty until
he is seventy he is more or less physi-
cally interested in every good-looking
woman he sees.
ooh, it does not make any differ
ence if he is married." she continued
to answer to the shocked look that
Eliene gave her Neither do l mean
that every man pursues every woman
with criminal intent What | mean is
this: That no business, art or trade
can unsex the human race, and as
long as this is so there will be curios-
ity, desire, admiration, love, hate,
tragedy and comedy mixed up with
any business, profession or art in
which the sexes work together. And
you will find this. no more on the
stage than any other place.
Don't mistake me; l do not mean
that all or any one of these happen
to all men and women who work to-
gether, but 1 have found that, to do
our best work, one must be in love.
at is not youth which creates, but
love. Every great man or woman of
history has had great love behind
him or her."

Dunlap, 'but | don't think they do
very often. They may have a passing
fancy or curiosity for them which is
the first sex instinct, but it usually
amounts to nothing.
The attraction of the girl on the
stage for man, think, is the subtle
f1attering which to be seen with her
gives his vanity.
The persons in front of the foot
lights have never gotten over the
idea that we behind it are different
from them. The calcium sheds mys-
ferrous, if bright, light over the actor.
We make ourselves attractive to the
multitude. Each night, consequently,
any man who can say: See, this
radiant being singles me out from
among you,' is always more or less
proud"
You are very clever girl, my dear,
| thought, while she was talking, and
you have learned your lesson well in
the short time you have been on the
stage, but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts
that not one of these things have you
said to Jack, who thinks you have
not thought of this kind in your
pretty little head.
Why is it that men will always con-
found innocence with purity when
they think of women?
Innocence means nothing but lack
of knowIedge-it is not a virtue, but
a state of mind.

wife was child in thought when he

woman eloped with his best friend,

had not the purity to resist.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 13.-Represen-
tative Hinebaugh of Illinois, chairman
of the Progressive Congressional COM

which it is predicted that in the near
future there will be but two parties
in this nation and that in 1916 "the
only logical party of opposition to the
Democratic party will be the Progress
sive party says special correspond
ence to the Boston Transcript from

his prophecy on the sentiment which
he says comes to his Office from all
parts of the country. The bulk of
the statement is taken up with the
facts that the Progressive party Is
well organized, that the 20 Progress
sive congressman are we'll organized.
that the Progressive Congressional
committee is organized. that the Or

ganizations is being strengthened and
that bills and speeches have been in

The Cold Yielding to Treatment.

Tulnulty told all inquiriers that Mr..
Wilson's condition was not in the
slightest degree alarming. He said the
President was being kept to his room
chiefly as a precaution against taking
cold and in order TO give him a COM
plete rest.
1t was said by those close to the
White House that the President S
trouble is similar to the attack OF
grip he had just before he went to
Pass Christian. Miss. for a vacation.
He has been working on an unusually
hard schedule of engagements in the
last few weeks, meeting more callers
and having more extended confer
ences than at any time since he took
office A draught ut the congressional
reception last Tuesday night is gen.
orally ascribed as the direct cause of
the cold.
Mrs. Wilson. assisted by the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall, the
members of the cabinet and their
wives, received the visitors tonight,
while the Marine Band played in the
court facing the Blue room. The White
House was brilliantly decorated with
flowers for the occasion, which was
the first of it's kind in the present ad-
ministration.

Chicago Club Not For Sale.

Murphy also said the Chicago club
was not for sale and that he had no
intention of putting his stock on the
market. He said he would not sell
either to any of the men at present in
organized baseball or to any syndicate
of business men who might organize

men here had asked Murphy for his

even to themselves-or rather to the
more intelligent of themselyes--the 20
Progressives in Congress have not
been a success. 1t is true that they
have introduced bills and made
speeches, but so have all congressman.
In fact, if a congressman does not in
troduce bills and make speeches he
soon ceases to be a congressman, for
it is an unfortunate fact that the old
theory still persists that introducing
bills and making speeches is good
thing for the country. The main
trouble with the Progressives. in the
eyes of their critics here, is that they
have actually accomplish nothing. AS
