OF last evening
Dr. Brown gave last night one Of
ms famous chautauqua addresses. 1t
was rich in wisdom and replete with
Wit and humor 1t has been delivered
nearly one thousand times for chau-
tauquas and lyceums in so states. He
spoke in part as follows:
know that a woman has harder
lot in life than u man. 1t is harder
for her to make living than il is
for man. A thousand doors are
closed in her face that are opened
TO him. Ii is harder for her 10 keep
well than il is man. Not only be-
cause she is weaker physically but
because she mas more machinery to
get out or order Ii is harder for
her 10 do right than il is man.
If you should die and leave your
daughter alone in the world, there
are thousand hands reaching up
ont Of the darkness to drag her
down, hands that your boy could
walk right over If he wanted TO. 1t
is harder 10 do 4 womans work than
IL is q man.
The farmer finishes up one crop
and goes 10 another, the lawyer fin
ishss up one ease and goes TO an
other, the doctor finishes up one pa
tent and goes 10 another, but a wo-
mans work is never done / would
rather go into the field and plow
corn as | have done, or into the
blacksmiths shop and pound on the
anvil, than to go into the kitchen
and dining room and sitting room
and parlor. and bedroom, with the
endless patching and darning and
mending and cleaning and washing
and scrubbing and sewing and sweep
ing and cooking and nursing that
comes year after year, month after
month and day after day, just the
same, and almost every hour Of every
day.
wish that. good women realized
their power. do not think they do.
Tne bad woman does. She knows the
attitude Of the body, the smile, the
glance, the gesture, the infection of
The voice. She knows how, by the
exposure Of her body, she can send
L storm OF passion beating and break
ing in the breast Of man like the
waves upon the rock bound coast.
1hal explains how often bad wo-
man can reach up 10 that home
where The man at hear. is not a bad
man ana drag him down with her to
the very gates OF death she knows
her power and never hesitates TO use
IT. Oh. that good women knew that
there IS no other power in all the
world that will 50 liz q man up from
hell o. drag him down from heaven
like that Of womans lave II I
were woman ! would glory in my
power Eut there is one thing |
would never do, | would never marry
u bad man believing ! could reform
Inn after We We're married ! DO NOT
say that plan will never work. and II
any woman here has undertaken it
l would not speak word To dis
courage her but would bid her God
speed in her hard task But out
ot Ten thousand eases thar have come
under my observation have never
known II "a succeed once \ woman
puts = great deal more into marriage
than = man does ana If IL is failure
II means much more TO her than 1t
does 10 him 1t is the biggest risk
tha. woman ever undertook risk
tt1t no wcman can afford 10 take.
II had = daughter should rather.
