Sloth and Diligence.

Sloth said TO Diligence: you work
too hard. For two days now you have
been busy blowing that field. hear
Ingenuity has invented plow driven
by steam. Why not get one to plow
for you while you sit with me In the
shade and enjoy life?"
Diligence bought the plow which
would plow field in fraction of the
time it had taken him to do it. But
instead of sitting in the shade he put
more land into cultivation, and it took
all his time to attend to the pfow and
see that it worked properly.
When harvest time came he had
more to do than ever on account of
the new land he had cultivated.
Harvest over, Sloth went to pay Dill
igence a visit, saying to himself, Nov
he win have little more time to talk
TO me-" But he found him comforting
with Ingenuity in regard to a larger,
more powerful pillow, that he might
next season put still more land in cul-
tiyation.

gence.-Boston Journal.

Won1an's
Charging
Sphere.

At twenty-five a man used to begin
to live, but woman was on the shelf.
Up to few decades ago the woman OF
twenty-five, married or single, was
usually pasSee. II married she for
swore romance and spent her days in
dull and commendable faithfulness to
kinder, kirche, kueche;" IL unmarried
and minus an independent income,
heaven help her! She passed gently
into the maiden aunt stage household
helper In general to any married sister,
brother, cousin that ever wanted her;
subject to call when there was illness,
dire need, new baby or busting prep
arations for some important event; to
take errors and omissions meekly and
without complaint Sometimes she
persisted In being young even at TWEEN
ty-seven and curled her hair and
squeaked her voice to childish treble
and trained in a set of kittenish man
ners for social purposes. She hated
to give up the thought of ever being
married.
And here's her twentieth century
substitute who is an undeveloped child
under twenty-five. She is perfectly
willing to marry, but she has plenty of
interests to occupy her If she doesn't.
Moreover, she has plenty of interests
in addition to home and family when
she does marry.
For there is one thing that business
and professional interests have done
for the modern woman which makes
them beyond price-that have protract-
ed youth and deferred recognition Of
old age indefinitely. Business and pro-
fessional life do for women what they
about ten years to put business on
the level Of substantial success. Some
times 1t takes more, occasionally less.
The well planned business life Of the
average man makes the years between
twenty and thirty hard plugging. At
thirty he begins to have secure foot
ing, and If he has really lived, If he
has the rich human experience that
falls to the average normal individual,
he is well rounded personality and In
the prime of life at forty
Interesting occupation has showed
ahead woman's prime of life similarly
The young bud Of nineteen or twenty
is only pleasant to look at or to play
with for little while From twenty
to thirty. ii she is actively engaged in
doing something worth while, she is
developing continually. She is enrich
ing her mind and personality by actual
contact with life, more real than that
viewed from the safe walls Of com
Portable home. She is building her
business life, facing conflict daily,
learning self reliance. Her soul goes
unshielded through the fires Of expert
ence. At thirty she is in the prime Of
life, rich in interest and human synpa-
thy and understanding For it Is not
alone the patting Of baby curls that de-
velops womanly sympathy, but work
ing in the world and seeing and expert
encing what other men and women en-
dure.
Woman's life used to be mainly retro
spective. Before thirty she was al
ready engaged In the gentle occupation
OF reiterating again and again her
youthful experiences and conQuests.
The modern woman with an occupa-
ton looks ahead The past is to her
only a foundation, and her days are
filled with planning for next month,
next year and ten years ahead.

According to the best information

zens. the boycott which has been in
augurated by the Six Companies in San
Francisco against Japanese, in reta'
ton for recent claims made by the
japanese government on the Chinese
government, the poycott movement has
not spread TO Hawaii.
According to these same sources Of
information it is not likely, either,
that the boycott will be enforced here,
though it. is spreading on the main
land from California to other states
and into Canada. The most common
answer yesterday by both Chinese and
japanese was:
1.-THE Chinese rrd Japanese of HH,
wall are on too friendly terms to al
low this boycott movement to affect
us here"
On the other hand there were rumors
that meeting of leaders Of the vari,
ous Chinese societies would be called
shortly to discuss the question. 1t was
generally believed, however, that this
meeting would frown upon q Japanese
boycott.
Japanese leaders said they had
heard the rumors Of the proposed Chi

looking to a boycott would be tax zen.
