a weakling without the tamina to even

If YOU could look into a woman heart
YOU would see that she would rather be

the woman has missed her ideal in a

Once upon n time, when Uncle Wiggi-

he heard a r~uStling in the bushes, and,
hiding behind a sassafras tree, he said:

And then, all Of a sudden, Uncle
Wigglly heard a voice say.
"Whacheetin?"
Dear me! What funny TALK

himself. What an odd word-'whach-

Pipsisewah nor the skeezicks never
talked like that
Then he heard another voice answer
and say:

"Of course, I do, Peetie." was the
answer, and. then. after hearing those
names, Uncle Wiggily wasn't afraid any
more, Picking around the corner Of
the mulberry bush the bunny rabbit
saw Jackie and pectiet Bow Bow, the
two little puppy dog boys. And the
funny word Jackie had said was really

Not long ago a woman wrote a let
ter to the mayor asking his honor's
assistance in getting a husband. She
didn't seem very critical about the
mans qualifications is a life part
ner 6zeApt in one particular. She said
that she wanted as a husband a mas
tsrful man, and n who would boss
her.
There spoke the primeval women, Nhe
woman who reverted pack to her an
eestress who was won by brute strength,
and who worshipped the lover who
dragged her by her lovely red hair from
her own cave to his, where she lived
ever after in fearful happiness OF his
big stick with knobs on il.
But this woman who wanted a hus-
band who would boss her is only a lit
tie more frank than her sisters. Prac-
tically every woman has the same de-
sire, for women are still at heart cave
women, and they still low best the men
who conquer them.
The one quality through all the ages
with which men have been able to con-
lure women has been strength, aud this
is true whether the strength is mem
tai or physical, or used for good or evil.
Power, that mysterious something in
a man which makes him superior TO
the occasion, able to fight with fate,
and to wrest his WI from the world.

That is why refined and gently born
and reared ladies have eloped with
double-fisted bull -necked prize fight
ers, and husky stable men, and chauf-
Z feurs, and why sweet, innocent, pious,
Sunday school teachers fall in love with
the criminals they are trying to re-
form,
Those men have done something.
They had the strength and courage to
go after the thing they wanted, and
the cave woman instinct in the womans
soul responded to IT.
The quality hat woman admires in
man above all others is strength, the
ability to do things. All women are
by nature hero worshipDers, and what
they adore in success is not the result
but the grit, the determination, the
energy that carried the man to success.
Women admire men who know how
to do things from the biggest to the
l~ittlest; who are adequate to every sit
uation, men who can conduct a big bus
mess or order a good dinner; men who
can protect a woman from danger with
their own good right arm, or pick out
the right seats at the theater,
1t is this instructive admiration That
women have for the man whose strength
and superior knowledge they car rely
ON that makes them easy victims for
the so-called man of the world" who
happens to be a villain, and that keeps
a good woman infatuated with a man
whose morals revolt her. A woman can
forgive a strong nan any sort of a past
for the sake Of his strength.
