Taft reclining on his throne, pick

wives, and the wives of his

amorous holluschickie that comes
swimming around with fetching
smile and scaly tales of daring
deeds on the dark blue sea. To
be sure, Taft has the embon-
point of twenty four hundred
pounds, but gravity helps him,

jiffy, and an upper cut with his

A Girls Choice Of Friends
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author Of 1.-THE Etiquette of New York To-day"

MUCH of the happiness of
Nl life depends on making a
wise choice Of friends.
Very true friendships may be
formed early in life and may
grow out of comradeship In
school or college. or in social or in
business relationships, but even in
the very early years tastes must
be trained TO be discriminating.
Girls must strive to understand
how to choose, how to discern and
judge character, for 1t is on the
worth of character that true
friendship is based. without in
sight or discernment one may
make fatal mistakes which will
bring disappointment and may
mar life.
A girls friends and companions
show just what sort of a girl she
is. A girl who is refined in her
tastes will not associate with
those who are loud in manner,
coarse in speech, conspicuous in
dress.
Companions are doing harm
when they encourage having a
good time" at the expense of a
disregard of proprieties or a dis
regard of right. Friends or ac-
quaintances who tempt a girl to

IN the rocks at the Cliff House
" in San Francisco there are
sea lions.
When Balboa tumbled head first
over a cliff and discovered the
Pacific, there were sea lions here.
They tumble and roll and quar-
rel and play and scold and bark.
Sometimes there are more. and
sometimes less, but always the
fraternity is represented.
The sea lion is a great traveller
he may go 10000 miles in a year,
but he has places he calls home,
and to these he annually returns.
Many of these sea lions at San
Francisco are known by name
they have distinguishing scars
and marks of individuality that
can not be mistaken. Simple folks
think that sea lions are all alike.

In fact, Ben Butler was a forty

Investigation to Reach

Necessary.

The nature Of such offenses in

ness of relation between judge
and criminal as is essential to
correct and just action.
Women can understand girls
better than men can, and with
out such understanding, just and
wise judgment can not be rem
dered.
Especially does this principle
hold in the matter of criminals
. that are young in years and i'm
mature in crime. 1t may be less
applicable in the case of those
that are hardened in ways of
iniquity.
But in instances OF youthful
waywardness, the best part of the
work of a judge does not consist
in determining whether crime has

A SONG FOR THE MAY
By Lillian LAUFERTY.

tn OMORROW will flower the April May,
| To-day storm-clouds lower and Winters to-day.
But there's always tomorrow Springtmes bright way
So bear with the Winter and wait for the May.
But heart is weary waiting
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the bright returning
OF the Sprngtide and its yearning
Hopes and blooms sleeping
All the Winter day,
And grow dim with weeping
Waiting for the May
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the Springtme May;
To-day may know sorrow hope dies to-day,
While Winter winds lash and the gods at prey
Still wait through the gloom Springime May
So my heart is filled with longing,
Longing for the May
Longing for the pillows
And the tender green of willows
Where in gee the waters throngng
Through the Sprngtide day
Shall assuage the Winters longing
Longing for the May.

By DIR. CHARLES H. PARKHURsT

\ BILL has just been intro
N duced in the New York
Legislature calling for the
appointment of two women
judges to aid in dealing with such
young girl culprits as are brought
into the Children's Court.
Such a move can hardly fail
of receiving the cordial support
of all who know anything of the
number of such culprits or who
appreciate the fitness, not to say
the necessity, of their being dealt
with by feminine officials.
When a change so evidently
appropriate and urgent is made
or proposed, we always wonder
why it was not made long be-
fore.
Women can not do everything
that a man can do, but some
things they can do a great deal
better than he.
Many of the oftenses that would
fall within the jurisdiction Of
women judges are of a kind that,
from a moral point Of view,
ought not to lie within the juris-
diction of male judges.

he must have been conversant with

with the wedge-shaped cuneiform writ

correspondence was then conducted.
These writings were done with sty-
lus Of hard wood or metal with a

stopped shoulders and the inevitable

Another fault of Boston men Is that
they are discourteous," and he says

Maspero.

Cairo.-Sir CASTOR Maspero, the ia
nous French director of the Egyptian
museum, lectured recently at the Con-
tinental on women of Ancient
Times"
He said that according to the mural
paintings at Sahara, one was led to
assume that woman enjoyed equality
with her husband. She was the mis-
tress Of the house and all, including
her husband, who entered there, be-
came her guests.
This state of things still existed
among the semibarbarous races of
Brazil. declared Sir Castor. These
Eemi-civilized races treated women
with marked respect because on her
depended not only the perpetuation
OF the race, but the purity Of the
breed.
Man had many wives but the first
one was the nearest allied to him in
blood In the East kings and mobiles
often married three sisters, which
was supposed to be the purest mar
rage.
A man in history was tls son of
certain woman, not the son Of GER

son of the woman Taya.
Women, up to the time Herodotus
