Writer'S Criticisms Of the Relations Of
Most MIddIe-class Fathers TO
Their Families.

Someone has said that the great
est effort Of civilization up to date has
been attaching man to the family"
writes Mary Ware bennett in the Cen
fury. Very likely, but in many ways
the attachment has been bad for him
and bad for the family. Il has devel-
oped in him a pernicIous type OF pride
which had led him TO deem women and
children as possessions--a pride no
less false when sugar-coated with SEN
umental or chivalrous talk OF the my
wife, or mother, my sister, my chill
dren" variety.
Mems families have been for the
most part either q source OF this false
pride or else a millstone round their
necks; sometimes both. Most middle
class men are hopelessly dulled and
stuDened by mere grubbing TO get the
family bills paid. In the "wage-alave"
class. both the men and the women
share the same stupid fate, the women
always getting the worst OF 10, how
ever, for childDearing Is added to their
other labors. Men have been apt to
assume that their responsibilities TO
women and children we're wholly dis
charged By merely paying over cash,
without much personal service Both
men and women have meant well, but
the men have been rather stupidity
selfish and the women stupidly un-

CHANGED HIS THEORY
MEEK MAN GOT TIRED OF eEiNG
IMPOSED UPON.
Finally Decided There Was Nothing
In the Idea and Went Strongly on

Rich and Fat.

Once upon time there was a man
who had n wonderful disposition
Nothing rufiied him. Mild.mannered
and gentle. he went about his business
regularly on week days and attended
church regularly on Sundays His
favorite beatitude was. blessed are
the meek. for they shall inherit the
earth" He was constantly hoping
that someone would strike him on
the cheek. so that he could turn the
other one. and he always kept handy a
cloak. which. in obedience to the
Biblical injunction. he could give also
TO anybody who might take his coat
II was his policy in political and
economic matters invariably TO be
agreeable. generous, and self-effacing.
When the politicians broke their
promises. he always supposed they
must have had a good reason for so
doing. He believed that the trust
magnates were more interested In
the welfare OF the country than in
their own profits. and whenever the
trusts raised prices he assumed that
the poor owners wouldn't have done
II unless II was absolutely necessary.
Thus, until he was past middle age,
was his serenity undisturbed, and he
kept getting poorer all the time. Final
ly he was down and out altogether,
whereupon he went TO the banker with
whom he had deposited all his life
and who happened to be also the
chief owner OF the local street railway
company which was famous through
out the country for high rates and
poor service. When the man asked
the banker for temporary loan the
banker was very, very kind to the
man. and. with tears in his eyes, ex-
planned that there was no one in all
the world to whom he would rather
lend money than TO the man, but the
fact was that business was business
and finance was finance. and he did
not consider the man a good risk. be.
cause he was too easy-going.
The man went away and began 10
brood over his situation. For the first
time In his life he found himself fear.
ing lest his temper get the better OF
him. He kept on brooding. and then
he discovered that he was actually
getting mad, and the more he brooded
the madden he got He muttered,
blessed are the meek!' Bah! Ac.
cursed are the meek. for they shall be
imposed upon" He began to Judge
everybody on the theory that they
would Judge him whether he judged
them or not He declared that any
man who struck him on the cheek
had better get out OF the way IL he
did not want to get a fusillade OF
blows in return. and IL fellow took
his coat, he would make him give

Gold Hunt Amid Dust

In Wall street was torn down to the
