A MAN STARTED IT!

1t will be man who eventually will
give woman the right to vote. But that
is appropriate enough, since it was
man really who first started the move
ment for vesting women with the right
Of suffrage.
The desire of women to participate
in government and be vested with the
same political rights as men, has
doubtless been universal since the
first civilized era, but it was man
who first gave public expression to adj
vocacy of the ideal
We quote from the Autobiography"
Of John Stuart Mill:
"a body of electors sought me out and
spontaneously offered to bring me for
ward as their candidate Tor parlia-
menD With respect to general
politics, / told them, without reserve,
what 1 thought on number of import
ant subjects on which they had ask
cd my opinion; and one of these being
the suffrage, / had made known to
them, among other things, my convic-
ton Gas I was bound to do, since I in
tended, if elected, to act on it, that
women were entitled to representation
il parliament on the same terms with
men. It was the first time such a doc
trine had ever been mentioned to Eng
fish electors; and the fact that was
elected after proposing it, gave the
start to the movement which has since
become so vigorous in favor of wom-
ans suffrage" This was in 1865.
Mill further states:
"My advocacy of women's suffraget
and of personal representation were at
tie time looked upon by many as
whims Of my own; but the great prog
ress since made by those opinions, and
especially the response made from al
most all parts of the kingdom to the
demand for women's suffrage, fully JUS
.ifed the timeliness of those move
nents" He made several speeches in
in support of the move
nent.
However, it must admitted, even by
he milder-mannered women among the
Misunderstanding brigade, that the tao
les employed by the more militant
tend only to bring the
into direpute and to even
lower "the gentle sex" in general

COMPLMENTING ONES OWN WIFE

iIUMHL1bENIINU UNE > UhN NiE T.
So seldom you hear married couples
pay one another compliments. A man
will say something nice to another wo-
} man, even to the extent Of fiattering
her, when she doesn't deserve half as
1ouch complimentary attention or men
ton as his wife. Instances, therefore,
where men bestow these little thought
full details upon their own wives are
sufficiently rare to be notable.
When Lord Crawford died in Eng
land recently and left will in which
he referred to ''the diamonds and other
jewels used and adorned by my wife,
the reading world remarked him as
man of chivalry, and as husband of
affection and appreciation.
AS he knew the world would read
what he wrote, Lord Crawford's charm
ing tribute to his wife recalls other in
stances where celebrities have not been
ashamed to publicly declare their love
for their mates.
In writing to his wife about book
on which he had been working, Disraeli
said: Your name was before me-the
name of her who is my inspiration, my
hope"
The letters of the Brownings, which
were recently sold at auction, show
that Robert Browning valued his wife's
love above all else in the world. ''You
are the most entirely lovable creature
/ ever dreamed might be in better
world" he wrote, adding II want
ways, forms of expressing my devo-
ton to you; but such as l am, l am
yours"
Gladstone found an ideal life part
ner, and he did not hesitate to pay her
sincere compliments in his writings,
and even in his speeches.
Though he knew she was sunk in
Iinfamy, living a shameful life with a
poor foo ;ps;u,,; g or4 for liz. l. l,xo
noticed in the days of his glory, Napol-
con expressed in his will, as written
on the lonely Isle of Helena, fervent
tribute to Maria Louise. He did this
lprobably for the sake of their son, the
King of Rome
| Charles Kingsley, the author, wrote
to his wife, THE place is perfect, but
Iit seems imperfect without you"
Though he treated her shamefully,
Carlyles' love letters contain many
forid and sentimental passages; and
after her death he was not ashamed to
be seen weeping over his wife's grave.
Bismarck acted the part of a sweet
heart, even at the age of sixty, whe~
he sent his wife a telegram, saying:
My beloved heart, received your tel
egram today with much joy and forn
in thanks for all the grace that has
been shown us in these thirty-four
years. What are festivities, or gifts,
if you fall i'll? Misery would take the
place of joy"
The Duke de St. Simon, who wrote
the wonderful memoirs of the French
court pictured his wife as a woman
Of the most splendid attributes.
Pepys, in his Dairy does not hes

more than same day two years ago.
Six outside western markets had
5000 Thursday. or $500 less than
week ago, 1890 less than two weeks

Including Chicago, the seven markets
had $4,000, making 272.000 for the first
four days of the week, or 1000 less
than a week ago, 5000 less than year
ago but $4,000 more than two years
