THE INFLUENCE OF WoMANKIN0

While the present attempts of the International Congress of Women. now convened at the Hague in an effort to bring about peace between the warning nations of Europe, will probably he barren of definite results in so fan as the present great conflict is concerned. the tremendous protest which these women are voicing in the interest of humanity cannot fail to have an ap- preciable if not an overwhelming in tluence on the future conduct of na- tions and may even result in bringing about conditions under which war will be resorted to only in the event that every other possibility of adjustment of international relations has failed
 The women composing the Congress. of which the celebrated Jane Adams is the presiding officer, are drawn from the most influential circles of the ua- tions represented, which include nearly all the more advanced nations of the earth. nI the majority of cases the delegates themselves are. women who are, largely because of personal at tainments, capable of eXerting a tre- mendous influence oh the affairs of the nations they represent. and are thus an immense power in themselves. In ad- dition, in voicing this protest to the yl -4,s and cruel inhumanity of war. these women are backed by a considerable percentage of the womanhood of their own land the most of whom are drawn from among the most advanced and in- fuential classes of society and are usually more or less talented. cultured and capable.
 The women of this class because of social position and influence add still further to the strength of the peace movement which is designated to em- brace the entire female population of every land. Led by gifted and capable leaders, it is difficult to tell in the ab- sence of prior demonstrations. just what the womanhood of the world might accomplish when united and an- imated by one universal aim and de sire.
 The influence of the women on the affairs Of men and nations has received age-long acknowledgement. "The hand that rocks the cradle k the hand that rules the world" has long voiced the sentiment of mankind in this respect and gives ample testimony to the pos abilities which women may develop when united in one common bond and with one common purpose in view And in this matter of securing the perpetuation of peace, the motive ap- peals to the most sublime of all human

MOST ABLE MEN NOT LARGE
Worlds Geniuses as Rule Have Been
Only Medium or Even Less
In Size.

We are inclined to lock up to the
physically big man, not only literally
but there is always a certain presump-
ton in his favor that he must be cor
respondingly strong mentally, says a
writer In Popular Mechanics. People
make room for him; they attach more
Importance usually to what he says
than to the same words uttered by an
understood man. We uneonseiously
picture in our minds the bayonet
charge and storming Of the trenches as
the work of large men. The boy
dreams of having football physique
and little sister worships her big
brother.
Other abilities being equal, the large
man has positive advantage over the
small man. And yet many, II not the
majority of the great men OF the world
have been only of medium build and
not few were even understood.
A certain large city in this country
had for years made it rule not to
employ in its fire department any
but large men. The result was a
small army of athletes which never
failed to cause a positive thrill when
ever they went on parade. They dis
tinetly represented the day OF physi-
cal might.
For some years past the inventive
mind has been busy, and very sue
eessfully, to produce apparatus which
never tires, and calculated to trans
fer TO a great extent the hard work
from muscle to machine. The evil
dences of this evolution may be seen
in even small towns everywhere, and
now the fire engine drawn by yolnn-
teers and worked with hand brakes
must be looked for in museums of
strange mechanics of the past In its
place is the self-propelled gas-engined
machine, carrying its own hose and
capable of highly effective work with
only two men; and ladder trucks by
means of which one small man ma
nipulating some short levers can in
few seconds raise great ladders to
dizzy heights, or pour deluge of
water into tenth-story windows while
standing in the street below. Hence
It has come about that the man small
of stature. but nimble of body and
alert OF mind is not only the peer, but
often the superior of the giant in
build There yet remains some work
FOR the big athletes, but it is growing
less each year. and the man whom
nature has not endowed with great
physical strength is coming into his
own.

DEVOTED HIS TO GOOD WORK
Devout Little Johnny Would Give His

The little visitors at Aunt Mary's

four They played keeping grocery
under the piano, envelopes, books and
other articles representing the stock

you any rabbits this morning.
"Yes'm," answered the polite grocer.
Are they nice and fresh?'
"Yes'm.'
Then you may give me good, big

During q lull in the grocery trans
actions Aunt Mary gave each of the
visitors two cents-two cents in real
money.
And what are you going to do with
the money!" asked Aunt Mary.
I'm going to put my two pennies in
the bank" said Helen.
"And t. said John, I'll buy candy
with one penny"
"And what viii you do with the 9th

And John, who has been impressed
by the missionary talks at Sunday
school, answered: I'm a-goin' to give
