The robbery was discovered when
employees of the express company
boarded the train on it's arrival here.
They found Airing locked in the
trunk. much worse for his close con-
finement. The story he told to local
detectives and officers of the railroad
company was to the effect that one
bandit broke through the end door OF
the car while the other covered him
with revolver thrust through win

car, the robbers tied and :. gagged
Airing, robbing him of 4 small sum
of silver and his watch and then

Bloodhounds have been rushed to

And whatever man may say about

the world, they know that nothing
rules men but their desires and there
is no ruler in this world but sex.
Very few people beIieve~me when

and yet if any girl who went out of
her home to work at any occupation
would tell the truth she could tell you
of temptations that beset her. At ev-
cry turn she is shown how easy it is
to get on in the world-to gain the
goal of her ambition-if she will only
be compIacent to the demands of

Don't misunderstood me; there are
good men in the world, just as there
are good women, but living, both as
man and a woman, 1 have found
that most men do not consider sexual
sins of any great consequences.

Militants Will Be Good.
(New York Globe.)

When it comes to question of showing loyalty to their country the militant suffra gists of England have as much inbred patriotism as any one else. No sooner comes the announce ment that King George has ordered released from prison all suffragists serving terms for outrages than these militants declare their intention of leading in the relief of the women and children victims of the war. And that they will put even more ardor in this work than they have shown in their struggle for women's rights goes without saying. In serving their country in this way the suffragists will accomplish more toward further ing their cause than they could achieve by all the militant tactics conceivable.
 It is not beyond the bounds of pos sibilty that when the warning nations cease their mad strife England will grant to the women the right for which the suffragists have been fight ing. There is nothing like a war for a great cause to bring the conflicting clements in nation together. and the settlement of this. the last of her internal troubles, permits Great Britain to present an undivided front to the enemy. Nations reward the men who carry their colors on to the battlefield. The women do not fight on the firing line, but none the less do they do their share when their country goes to war. The militants may win a peaceful victory at home, after all, while their husbands, sons, brothers and sweethearts are fighting to the death at the front for the honor of the British nation.

Tight Skirts and Beauty.
 (London MailD

Much has been said against the prevailing mode of tightly draped, clinging skirts, showing the feet and ankles, but though, worn by the wrong people. they are, admit, things to shudder at, yet they pos sess certain great merits which have been overlooked.
 One of these is that since the Eng lishwoman has adopted them she has been forced to revise her shoes which have hitherto been a national weak spot" The Frenchwoman, who has never, through all the countless fashions of the years, been without the severely plain and perfectly made tailor costume, with it's unchange- able skirt. has always been known for her eXuuisitely shod feet. Eng lishwomen, who have invaria blv shown. up till two years ago. pre- ference for long, trailing skirts. how ever out of place, have been known abroad for carelessness in shoes and boots Now that the short. scanty, clinging skirt has come to stay (for stay it does, in spite of all attempts at f1ounces and crinolines) we have to pay the same careful attention to our exposed feet that women do across the channel. The result of this is a general appearance of much better dressing throughout the coun- try.
 Moreover. the shore. scanty skirt has greater cleanliness and lghtness
 ] cannot help thinking that those who inveigh against the narrow skirt really are objecting without realizing it, to seeing it on the wrong people. A woman whose lines and proportions are bad and whose feet and ankles are ugly, certainly may make a narrow skirt appear an

This is a platitude but too often ignored.
 | was asked the other day why one should pay more for ones dresses in- stead of less now that half the guam tity of stuff is used to make them. The answer is simple: the fabrics themselves are twice as costly. so as to insure no loss to the dressmakers. When full skirts were worn the ma terials were quite simple, for rich and ela horate designs would have looked all wrong. Dresses are now made of the most gorgeous gold and silver brocades, etc, and strikingiy beautiful and artistic they are.
 Certainly it is undenia ble that. dearer or no. the narrow skirt has made us q much better dressed na- ton. That is evident in practically every social grade.

Hatred of War.
(Senator John Sharp Williams in tn
 SonatoN

What | hate about war is not the men who are killed--they can be reproduced; it is not the number of women who starve to death-and l have seen it when I was a boy-for they can be reproduced; it is only a question of a generation of so. What I hate about it is that every dollar that is taken out and literally burned up in powder and cannon and uni- forms Is subtracted from churches and schools and agriculture and scientific research and educational enmarchment and from the great phiIanthropic social activities of every description which in time of peace push men forward. There never was a people yet who went through d war without losing, not dollar for dollar on account of this subtraction, but two dollars for one; because it is not only the dollar that is subtract ed, but 1t Is the other dollar taken out of the pocket of the citizen for war or economy purposes where he might have been producing something instead of wearing the uniform. That makes it at least two to one.
 If were to go out of the senate door right now and attack the sena- tor from New Hampshire and pull a pistol upon him and he were to pull one upon me, 1t would be less idiot1c and less insane and less stupid ana asinine than this war in Europe IS right now What do they say they are uuarreling about?

No Time For Rejoicing.
(Detroit Free Press ]

Aged ex-Empress Eugenie of France, now in Bologna. is quoted as rejoicing over war between Germany and France, and as remarking:
 This is my revenge. l have waited a long time. Were the emperor only here! May God protect France
 The war of 1870 took crown and throne from Eugenie. then beautiful and brilliant. The successive deaths of her husband, the dethroned em- peror of France. and her idolized son, left her a mournful and pathetic figure, an exile in England most of her time, secure in the sympathy of the world. Her remarks show that either the sympathy of the world has been mispla ced or that she has been so embittered by her misfortunes and memories as to have utterly lost the true sense of perspective and to have permitted long-nursed sentiments of hate to obliterate the nobler, kinder, human feelings the world has so long supposed were cherished by the lonely saddened woman who once sat on the throne of France.
 No one can properly exult in such deluge of blood as is now pouring over Europe. It is not time to cherish feelings of race or personal enmity, but rather time to pity, to deprecate, to mourn such an upshot of twenty centuries of Christian civ ilization, such a spectacle as no bar bar1an age ever afforded, such scene as must cause high carnival in Satan's kingdom. For the finest men of the best nations in Europe are flying at 1nOthpr'S threats mangling. maiming,, slaughtering one another like hordes of ravening wolves and there is none with power to stay the red riot until it shall have forever shamed civilization.
 Let win who may, it is a time to hang heads in shame, to avert eyes in horror to pity and to mourn, but never to eXult or to rejoice in the success or failure of any of the bleeding combatants.
