AL. III. WILSON.

In presenting Al. H. Wilson, the
singing dialect comedian, in an ex-
quisite advertisement of song and ro-
nance through the seductive story
OF AS Years Roll On" at the Cres-
cent Theatre on Sunday, Nov. IA,
Manager Sidney r. Ellis has depart
ed from the usual type of plays in
which Mr.. Wilson has heretofore ap-
peared by providing his star with an
up-to-date play which contains a
story interpreted by modern charac-
tiers. Periodic in theme. the plot will
recall the Seven Ages of Man" for
IL Is written around the episodes that
occur in a mans life from young
manhood to middle age, and then on
TO the three score years and ten ne
Rod. At the age of TWENTY-FIVE
John Van Fam" a soldier of Hol-
land, escapes to America with his
young wife after being informed that
a superior officer whom he assaulted
when resisting arrest, is dead. He
prospers in the land of his adoption
and his domestic happiness is COM
pleted with the arrival of a girl
baby. There are but two clouds to
mar the sunshine of ensuing years
the death of his wife, ten years later,
and the fear that some day his
daughter will learn of the crime
which caused him to flee his native
land, fear that takes sudden flight
on the eve of his daughters mar
riage, when the true facts become
known. Miss Laura Lemmers will
be seen in the leading female role.
She is a competent actress and adds
considerable distinction to the sup
porting company. During the per-
Torrance Mr.. Wilson will render
several new songs of his own COM
position.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte. he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"fddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory OF a statesman is to construct,
and that 1t is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start a pillow than
that he become the author Of law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
pillow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern, first build.

A Eordetful Poet.

Arthur Coleridge related that the

Highgate to Holborn to visit nephew
Sir William II. Coleridge. 1t was very
cold weather, and the poet had on a
double breasted waistcoat which met
Just below his neck. 1t was discovered
that he had got no shirt. His nephew
demonstrated with him, to which the
poet replied, I'm very sorry, william,
very sorry, but I've forgotten my

Insects Sense of Smell.

How do insects smell? Naturalists
are agreed that they are keenly sensi-
tive to certain odors, but they differ
widely as to the organs with which
they do 1t. The usual opinion has
been that their antennae serve them
as do our noses. But DR.. N. E. McIn-
doc of the Washington bureau Of en-
tomology points out that those which
have no antennae smell equally as well
as those which have. He suggests
that certain pores at the bases Of the
wings and legs are their organs of
smell, for when these are covered with
glue or vaseline they react to perfumes
only in very slow manner.-New York

Died For Duty.

An example Of devotion to country is
found in a soldier of the French army
in the war Of 1850. He had wandered
into the woods for stroll, when he
was ambushed by the enemy. Instant
ly a hundred bayonets pricked his
breast, and a voice whispered, MAKE
the least noise and you are a dead
man. without a seconds hesitation
he cried, "The enemy is herev' He
fell lifeless to the ground, but $4,000
of the French army were saved. De-
votion to duty had become so strong a
habit that he never thought of life.

sex qualification for suffrage may
have its apparent inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions. 1t is favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more capa-
BILE of intelligently exercising SOW.
ereignty than a worthless negro, but
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
THE primary, inherent and insep-
arabic fitness for suffrage is support
ing a family. The pillow handle. the
forge and the struggle for bread af-
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the bust
ness affairs of life.
There has been much freakish leg
islation enacted during the past de.
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under
take to unsex the human race by law
Is the height Of legislative folly and
q tragedy to mankind.
1--WE are opposed to the equal rights
OF woman-we want her to ever re-
main our superior. We consider
woman's desire to seek mans level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
Woman is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; It Is her hand that plants
thoughts in the intellectual vineyard;
1t Is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless mar
kind. Christine liberator of woman
knd-was satisfied to teach the lessons
Of life and He was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re-
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that in Him He was we'll pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?"

WHY SHOULD
WOMEN VOTE?
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE
VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
FARMERS.

Why should women vote? That is
the question that is ringing from
ocean to ocean and reverberating from
the Canadian boundary to the Next
can border. 1t is the mission of a
Newspaper to give the news and the
action of the Texas Farmers Union
In opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas legislature is significant as
representing the attitude OF the or
ganized plowmen. We reproduce in
part the argument presented by Hon.
w. d. Lewis, president of the Texas
Farmers Union, IN opposing the bill:
1T is gratifying to note that it is
not the farmers wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold
ing the minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband the cares
Of life to indulge in political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in cloth
ing the children or bring to the home
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities in life. 1t is, as a rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity. who is leading the suf-
fragette movement.
From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as a man. So has she as much right
to pillow as q man; she has as much
right to work in a factory as a man
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as man, but We would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn a living by en-
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica-
ton for suffrage or a business acct
dent a reason for granting franchise
We are opposed TO woman at the
ballot box the same as we are op-
posed to woman in the field, in the
factory or in the army and for the
self-same reasons. We had rather
see her plant flowers than SOW wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political is
sues, although she may have as much
right to do one as the other.

seemed as though he was about to be

It was Just as firemcn raised a
scaling ladder and Police officer Joe
Dudley raced to the top that the
man rolled clear to the edge of the
cornlce. He would have fallen had
not the ladder showed him back.
BY that time Dudley reached the top,
and DuFrene leaped TO his feet and
bounded over the coping and upon the
roof. Dudley was after him, and aided
by other officers and flrernen. over
powered him. and he was tied and
lowered through skylght into the hotel

monis for the last few days and late yes
terdsy afternoon. when his mother and
a special nurse left the room. leaped from
bed and sprang out upon the fire escape
Shouting that he was going to dash his
brains out he gained the roof and was
next seen crouching on the ledge.
A crowd collected and watched with
horror the shivering man as he moved
recklessly about. Efforts OF those oS
top Of the boilding only served to frightsn
him further out on the ledge.
Physicians stated that DuFrenes rea-
son. was only temporarily affected, but
they fear that the exposure may produce
fatal results on account OF his already
