Almost discouraged, the
Idea happened to pass the
hut of a hermit on a noun
tain. The door was open.
The Idea entered.
The hermit was sitting at
his bedside, absorbed in
thought. He was a large
man, with a shaggy head.
His mild face was almost
hidden by his hair and beard.
"Well, WE'LL" he said with
a SMILE. What a fine idea
Won are. But why do YOU

The Idea flew to the hermit, nearly exhausted
am afraid there is place for me in the
great world said the Idea, proceeding to tell the
story.
The hermit listened attentively, shaking his
head. poets are not responsible" he said. "You
mustn't blame them They feel things that most
people don't notice, and they easily hurt. The
marvel is that they should be able to endure the
world at all. Rest here tonight.
In the morning the Idea was refreshed and
more hopeful.
Have you thought of some one?" asked the
Idea with great concern
The hermit nodded. There is great leader
who lives in far-off country. He is always tell
ing the people what is good for them.
The hermit mentioned the great leader by
name.
The Idea found the leader at public meeting
He was delivering address. At intervals he
would stop till the cheering ceased. The idea
whispered to him. Then he whispered back: "This
is not the time nor the place. l will take you home
with me and think you over"
1t was long past midnight when the leader
reached home. He ate something, and he drank
something. and he sat in his library and smoked
he discovered the Idea sitting up in his mind all
ready to be addressed.
20, hello!" he said.
The Idea nodded, smiling.
THAT was funny, your coming to me in a fash
at the meeting"
"Oh, if could only be impulse" said the
Idea. "a powerful impulse that would move men
the world over. That is my ambition"
The leader smiled. "Pm afraid of impulses"
he said. Il used to give way to them. but now
that getting on in years I've grown more
CAREFUL.
The Idea began to plead But the great man
remained unmoved.
you are too far ahead of your time" he said.
"The people wouldn't understand you. And II
must keep close to the people.
"But have come to do the people good" the
Idea protested. ~ have come to make them
ono people. have come to save mankind"
The great leader closed his eyes. II think I've
heard that kind of talk before" he said. "It
doesn't interest me now"
Without another word he dismissed theI
Idea.

If the Chicago result ruay be taken guide.
it is to be inferred that women will be influenced
in voting by the same reasons that influence the
men. The 243,7o7 ballots cast by women were
distributed among the various candidates in very
nearly the same proportion were those OF their
brothers, with the exception that the prohibition
candidate received slightly larger percentage of
feminine votes. The women apparently made no
attempt to coL,bine and control the result, and
their vote had no effect on the outcome beyond
increasing the Republican majority.

In simple house the Idea found the poet. He
was gazing out of the window at the sunset.
The Idea noticed that he appeared to be sad.
But as soon as the Idea entered his brain his
eyes became luminous.

his wife, who was sewing by the table.
He told her about the Idea.

you do something that will make money!"
The agitation in the poets mind came very near
dislodging the Idea.
The next day the poet began to write song
for music that he knew would sell.

come here? It's the people in the great world yon-
der that need you most They arc perishing for
you I gave up the world long ago just because
ideas like you didn't flourish there"
In weak voice the Idea explained.
The hermit listened gravely. They were al
ways like that, the people of the world. They are
afraid of beautiful things
But l want to do them good" the Idea pro-
tested.
The hermit shook his head
"You mustn't let them suspect that you want
to do them good. If you do, they will cast you
out"
For a long time the hermit was absorbed. Then
he said: There is one hope, friend. In great
city there lives who loves his brother man.
He is called poet. He sees things that other
people cannot see, and things that other people
see falsely he secs in their true character. Go to
him.
"O thank you" said the Idea.
