the members and told what societies they
represented. She said they had come to
ask their "city fathers" help. At this the
face OF the executive softehed almost to
the smiling point Another woman beg
Fed him to attend mass meeting. a
third talked of a phase OF the subject in
which the committee was interested,
claiming protection for a class she said
was unprotected The officials face hard
ened. A man thanked him for the re-
forms he had already achieved and ex-
pressed the belief that they. would con-
tinue. whereupon his excellency again
looked warmly human,
He thanked the visitors for their kind
words, ignored the implications contained
in others. and promised to do all in his
power to help the projected plan,
When they we're separating amicably
he turned to the first speaker and said.
"The last time you were here with
committee OF five ladies you were un-
fortunate in one of your members"
She waited with an interrogative smile,
''She demanded something he said, with
stress on the verb.
THAT was a mistake" returned the gra-
cious woman.
Il didn't like IT," said. the mayor.

my request in that way. did II"
'You werc sweet and charming and de-
lightful. as always" said the city father
warmly. but | wanted to tell that lady
an old story ! think II one OF Aesop's
fables. It concerned q dog with piece
OF meat In his mouth. The dog started
across a plank above a stream. Look
ing down he saw his reflection in tho
water, tried to grab the piece OF meat
from the other dogs mouth and lost his
own"
Perhaps the mayor OF Americas great
est city shouldn't have said that. Per-
haps he should have been wholly Inn
personal in attitude, incapable Of resent
ment II we consider his duty alone we
must agree that he should have been
governed wholly by the matter proposed
and not at all by the manner OF its rep
resentation. A city official Is bound to
consider the end to be attained. The
means are no part OF his business. But
city officials are not perfect men. There
is no Marcus Aurelius among them. Ex-
periences, however bitter, fail to purge
them of the personal view.
"You can get anything you want II

truth we often hear and It has enough
of truth to warrant our thinking of II at
odd times and especially when we must
ask something from anyone who has the
right. or at least the power to withhold

The woman who had demanded" some
thing was consistent. 1t was part OF
what she had been working for ten years
for, She was asking what she and others
genuinely meIited. but she placed an OBJ
stacle in her own path by the way she
had asked for II. s--lt.
Not right? or course 1t wasn't. Not
fair? II was manifestly unfair, But we
must meet conditions as they are, not
as they ought to be. and we are still so
far from the state of the angels that we
want requests for our aid 20 be made
with much earnestness II need be, but
certainly with courtesy.
That was the mayors little lesson In
politeness.

tained, hut II really looks great deal
harder than II is.
The movement ends with several OF the
sensational dance methods of suddenly
letting 20 OF the girl save by one hand
and then as suddenly pulling her back,
in tho meanwhile whirling rapidly.
This can be done as many times as de-
sired and the dance can be completed
with the Hhirl, or the two-step can be
resumed
II really looks better to end the dance
with somewhat of climax, however, so
we will say that the whirl brings the
Popularity to finish.

it forth when she knows the man is
bound to her. If she is extravagant
she makes him believe she is frugal
until she possesses him and then she
keeps his nose to the grindstone the
rest of his life; if she is an absolute
failure as a homemaker she never
lets him discover it until it is too late
If a man is coarse by nature, he
hides it; if he is selfish he does not re-
veal the trait until aiteTward, and
when the two are made one they dis
cover they never knew each other.
If their love is great enough to en-
able each to overcome. the faults,
there will never be a wrecked home,
but if. one or the other persists III
encouraging the faults, or if one or
the other is Indifferent to the exist
ence of the faults, gradually the
Wreckage is brought about and, in my
opinion, that wreckage has become
quite bad before the triangle enters.
For the Other Woman feel only
pity. Silly she may be and is to enter
such an affair, but for every hour of
her folly she pays! .,
Can you doubt it? The woman who
loves Graves possession, and in the
triangle she may never know it. The 4
woman. who loves wants a man
to be proud of her love, and in the
triangle he sneaks her through side
streets and away from places where
they may be seen. He hUmiliates her
in a thousand different ways and
gives her nothing in return but feel
ing of shame.
If she loves, she wants the crown
ing joy of woman's life, her chill

they go elsewhere to be petted. l have
listened to many men tell me-with-
out intending to offer me the position
of the Other WOman-of the eXtrava-
gance of their wives, or of the indif-
ference of their wives, or of the fact
that their wives loved society better
than home, and have realized that
it would be only question of time
until the triangle would enter.
But "Old Maid" knows and l know
that it is only accident that reveals
the existence of the Other Woman
and totally wrecks a home-for the
man, however much he loves the
Other Woman or thinks he does, pro-
teets his home first. He shields his
family from a knowledge of what he
is doing, and when it is discovered he
will frequently discard the Other Wo-
man rather than break home ties
though they may have come to mean
only tragedy to him.
There is suffering for the wife, if
she finds, out. But her suffering is
great or small only in proportion to
her nature. For at the most crucial
point in the. game, she holds so many
trumps that she can win the man
back again if she does but try.
They all suffer in the triangle, the
wife suffers from being neglected, the
man suffers because of his conscience
and his fear of being found out, and
the Other Woman suffers because she.
has wrecked her life in a worthless
cause and yet her heart is such
traitor to her brain that she goes on
and on, soaring her soul, denying
every good instinct, playing a game
that will not bring her one hour of
unadulterated happiness and always
and inevitably paying the price,
whether it is the price of being sur
loved or discovered or
discarded.

GOLDEN EAGLE TO INCREASE |TS
 CAPITAL

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Golden Eagle Mining company, held last night, it was voted to in- crease the capital stock of the eorpor- alton from $15,OOO to $5O,OOO to pro vide capital for carving out a plan of extensive development which has been decided upon.
 At the meeting a report was read of the results of a number of assays re- gently made. The report shows that samples taken for a distance of 70 feet along the vein in the lower tun- nel gave an average return of better than $23 per ton, which, considering the size of the ore body. indicates that the property is an exceptionally valuable one.
 As the water supply has proved in sufficient, during the cold weather prevailing, to supply the necessary power for mill and machinery, it was decided to close down the work for the winter months, and after the first of the year all hands except the watch man will be laid off for the remaider of the winter.
 It is planned by the company to open up the property on a large scale next spring, beginning in April or May, when a large force of men will be employed and the capacity of the plant increased.
