 There are several of Mid

 would be quite a sensation
 on the streets of HOlbrOok.
 It consists of a narrow strip
 of cloth about four inches
 wide and twenty-eight feet
 long. This is called a tur-

 Heretofore we were under the impression that a turb-

 mill. This head gear is cas- fly put on All they have to
 do is to stick one end l n
 their mouth and then take
 the other end in both hands
 and wind it around their
 head, like winding an eight
 day clock. It is needless to add that they do not dotf this poultice or turbine t o every lady they meet. It is rumored around here that there are several ladies a. mong the ranks of these strange people. If this is true 1 know where Ringling Brothers can get a nice col lection of bearded ladies for their circus, as all these snake diggers wear nice overfowing boards. 1 in quired of one of them why | the Hindu people wore those turbines. He said that a. way back in Hindustan sev- eral centuries ago their fore fathers took an oath that they would not wear a hat or bathe again until Bryan was elected From their appearance it looks like they were true to their VOWS.
 A lady correspondent of Miss Mary Beasly who lives in Arizona writes asking, i "where is Middle River? 1 can't find it on the map. 1 rather suspect this lady lives near the Rio Puerco and is judging our Middle River by the Rio Puerco, which most of the time is not on the map. Middle River, as it's name implies, is between TWO other rivers. If 1t had been so unfortunate as to nave been located on one side or the other of either :, )ne of those other two rivers t would not have been Mid He River. If the lady in question reads the News-as everybody else does. she can see that Middle Riv- er is locate l between two other rivers.
 We have been asked ire luently the by native island CTS here how we managed to stand the difference in alti- tude between 5000 it. above sea level at Adamana and 6 fit. below sea level at Middle River. Aside from breath ing a few cat fish, water dogs and Japan currents, it isn't so bad. We have been unjustly accused of flirting with the Merimaids.

THE STORY WITH A PURPOSE
By DR.. Frank Crane

A Purpose is supposed to be bad art.
The idea is good. But it needs a little
salt. It is not quite true.
It is true that the best work is done for
the sheer joy of the doing. Creation is re-
ward enough for the artist and craftsman
ship the worker ought to value above wages.
So that when you mix with these pure mo-
tives anything like propaganda, advertising
or uplift, you have been guilty Of spiritual
adultery. You have not been entirely true
to the work of your harm and hand.
That is why pious literature, tracts, and all
literature made for the Lurpose of promoting
something, or converting anybody, or even
proving anything is infe- ior to- the lines Mr..
Keats is moved to write Upon Greek Urn or
Mr.. Shakespeare when he composes The Mer-
ry Wives of Windsor, apropos of nothing at
all.
In one case the literary product was the
end, worth while in itself; in the other it was
a means. AND art is It its best as a King,
not as Retainer.
But this truth must be mixed with another
or it sours, as do all unmixed ideas. And
the other is this:
That art needs high purpose to save the
beauty, the royal quality, of it's simplicity.
When it has no purpose it is likely to be-
come self-conscious, affected, even drifting
into silly perversons, ending in nonsense.
The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is
good art, yet it was built with a purpose.
The story of the Prodigal Son IS consum-
mate art y it was told as propaganda.
Lincolns Speech at Gettysburg and Web
ster's Reply to Hayne are good literature in
spite of their manifest object.
The reconciling fact is that when a pur-
pose is sufficiently high to lift the worker out
of himself, his .tork is more work; that is,
not labor, but divine Play; and when work
becomes play is always masterful.
In other words, the Joy in work, which is
the secret of good art, may be present when
you work for purpose, as when you work
for no purpose.
For instance, want to modify what have
said at various times of Sinclair Lewis. Not
that apologize, for I simply told the truth
as saw it; now see some more and would
tell that.
1 waded along in Main Street till I got
stuck in the mud. 1t was dreadful
And Lewis story in The Century for May
was pale and )ointless
And / had about made up my mind that
here was another hero by virtue Of the MODS
madness.
And then read his story, Number Seven
to Sagapoose, in the May American Maya
zine. 1t is story with a purpose. 1t points
moral 1t carries lesson. And 1omehow
that purpose O. it is so fine and worth while
that the whole story is as artistic a splen-
did jewel, beautiful as poets most careless
rhyme
The man can write. But he needs pur-
pose.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-THE PHILANDERER


stead act that prohibits alluring-looking fe-
males from parading the streets.
The wife's only comfort is that such man
is no more true to these females than he is
to her, and that often in spite of a hundred
light loves, she is the real love of his life.
For men and women differ in this-when
woman is faithless to her husband, her dis
loyalty goes to the very bottom of her soul
She has ceased entirely to care for him; but
Z mans faithlessness is often only skin deep,
and even while he kisses other women's lips,
and murmurs love talk in their ears, he
holds for his wife the best that is in him,
and gives her respect and affection that
he never feels for any other woman.
7 AS to what the wife of a philanderer should
do, that's another question, and the answer
depends on number of things.
1t depends upon how much the woman
cares for the man. Sometimes a woman
loves man SO well that she is happier with
him, even when he makes her endure hours
Of jealousy and agony, than she would be
without him at all. Sometimes the man who
has his lapses from grace is SO lovable, SO
pleasant to live with so considerate and
kind to his wife, that she can afford to shut
her eyes to his little peccadillos.
For the flirtatous man very otter does
take as much trouble to charm his wife as
he does other women. He is the sort OF man
who is born lover. He knows by instinct
how to do, and say, all of the little things
that make life worth living to women, and
the wife who has this sort of mate is wise
if she recognizes that philandering is not
the worst fault that husband may have.
Goodness, surliness, stinginess, grouchiness,
all of these are qualities that are harder to
endure in husband than flirtatiousness.
After all, it is better to be kissed by lips
that kiss too many, than not to be kissed at
all, and to suspect that duplicate order Of
roses is going to some other woman, than
never to have your husband send you single
flower.
OF course, women are monopolists who
want all of their husbands love and atten-
ton, and when they find that they have to
share them with other ladies, their thoughts
turn towards the divorce court. But divorce
isn't often the cure-all for matrimonial ills
that women think it is going to be. So
often it is jumping out of the frying pan
into the fire. So often it gives woman
freedom, and brings on her poverty, and
homelessness, and loneliness, SO that her last
estate is worse than her first.
The modern woman does not want to be
told to be patient and sit tight on her job as
a wife, when husband does not measure up
to her standards. Nevertheless, it is good
advice nine times out of ten where the wan
dering husband is concerned For philander-
ing husbands are like Mary's little lamb Let
them alone and they will come home. And
in the meantime the woman has her home,
her income, and her position in society,
which are no mean consultations.

WOMAN who is married to man with
II a rowing eye and a wandering foot,
n wants to know how she can cure him
of flirtatiOusness, and what she shall
do about it, anyway.
There is no cure for philandering. The man
whose tickle fancy is fired by every fresh
face, and who is impelled to chase every high
water skirt that crosses his pathway, has a
constitutional affliction that only death will
end. No matter how much he promises to
reform, he will go on falling from grace until
he falls into the grave
He is just built that way. There's no faith
in him. Possibly he can no more help being
la butterfly that fits from flower to flower
than solid granite cliff can help being what
it is, and staying in one place.
Certainly IL man cannot change himself,
and steady his own wavering soul, no wife can
accomplish the impossible task OF course,
every woman who marries one of those men
whose hearts are a hotel run on the Euro
pean plan, believes that she has got ninety
nine-year lease on it., and Is going to be a
permanent tenant
Before she has got fairly unpacked and
settled and has burnt up the love letters and
other souvenirs of her predecessors, there s
IA new name inscribed on the register, and
she has to move into back room or else get
out. Some younger and fairer guest is larry
ing temporarily in the suite de luxe.
Many fake remedies are offered for tying
such men to their own hearthstones. Women
are told that they lAust give their husbands
the thrill at home that they seek abroad.
Wives are adjured to keep themselves alWa
young and beautiful, and exqusitely dressed,
and out-vamp the vampiest vamp. Also, they
must keep their husband pursuing the love
chase by keeping them guessing, and allure
them along the path of matrimony by always
being coy and firtatious themselves.
All of which is sheer nonsense. You cannot
mingle thrills with the bills of domestic life,
and matrimony is a place where you are
called upon every hour of the day to pay the
piper. Nor can you successfully swathe cook
ing stoves, and butchers meat, and teething
babies, and sickness, and all of the other hard,
practical facts that make up the sum of every
day existence with the pink chiffon of ro-
nance.
Neither can any woman, however beauti-
full, however fascinating, however intelligent,
and charming, keep philanderer tied to
her apron strings. Variety is the spice of
life to him. He like. women, little and big,
fair and dark, grave and giggly, high-browed
and Anticipated, and the one who charms him
most is the one who has just smiled at him
lover her shoulder.
The woman who is married to a phlan-
derer, wastes her time in trying to make him
take serious view of his responsibilities, or
to inculcate faithf1lhess into him. He can
no more keep from making love to pretty
girl, or resist the appeal Of a romantic stu
alton, than drunkard can resist the tempta-
ton Of drink; and, alas, there is no Vol

The Suffering Public

What seems to be crying need just
now is some genius who can evolve some
plan and the means by which the railroads
can reduce their freight and passenger
rates, maintain the present high rate of
wages of employees and at the same time
make enough money to pay dividends and
enjoy credit solid enough to enable them
to borrow money.-Albany Herald.
And it will continue to be a "crying
need" for a long time to come. 1t can't
be done; that's all.-Columbus Enquirer
Sun.
Of course it can't be done, but that
does not prohibit insistent demands being
made that it be done anyhow. The rail-
road employees declare wages must not come
down, but on the other hand that they
should be even further increased The
railroads say their ability to borrow money
must be maintained, and the suffering pub
lie clamor for lower freight and passenger
rates Thus far the case is deadlocked, but
somebody is going to have to bring forward
key that will fit.-Albany Herald.

Jefferson Davis

A T hundreds of shrines and in millions
a of hearts, this June the third stands
sacred to the memory of that chival-
rio figure Of the Old South, that statesman
chief of the Confederacy, that serene suf-
ferer for lost but ever radiant cause
Jefferson Davis.
A century and thirteen years ago he was
born, child of Americas goodiest tradi-
tions. destined maker of history. So dra
matte was his role in the War Between the
States and its sorrowful epilogue that we
are too likely to forget how high a fame
how brilliantly on the Black Hawk trails his
youthful spurs were won; how heroically at
Buena Vista he fought against Mexican
odds, falling wounded almost unto death;
how jealous student and how rich scholar
he was; how he lowered and shone in the
Senate; how as a Cabinet member he sway
ed the Administration, and as Secretary of
War established new standard of execu-
tive foresight and efficiency; in short, how
great an American he was before the Ilad
of his Southland bazed and darkened
But chiefly it is for the epic Sixties that
he is honored today, for throughout those
grim years he was a knightly example Of
his peoples courage and endurance, and, in
the grimmer years ensuing, of their forti-
tude and conquering faith. In Atlanta, as in
many town and countryside of Dixie, the
veterans and daughters and children of the
Confederacy foregather with veterans of
San Juan and of freshly remem bered fields
In France to pay tribute to his heroic mem

one that honors the valor and sacrifice of
all great spirits in honoring this statesman

Cutting at the War Bill
EARTHLY approving the Senate ament
ment to the Naval Appropriation bill


II ment to the Naval Appropriation bill
whereby the President is authorized
and requested to bring about a conference
in which America, Great Britain and Japan
can discuss reduction of their ornaments, that
keen spokesman and interpreter of business,
the New York Commercial, argues that there
10 nothing in the present posture of world
affairs to warrant opposition to the peace-con-
serving proposal.
A few years before the outbreak of the
World War Britain invited Germany to join
her in a naval holiday" but Prussianism
would hear to no such pacifio plan. AS
suredly, however, there now will be no iml-
tation of the Hohenzollern example. For, as
the Commercial truly observes, jingoism alone
is responsible, both in this country and in
Japan for talk of these two nations being
destined foes. 'The likelihood of Japan s
coming around on this side of the world to
fight the United States, with all the terrific
expense that would be involved, is so remote
as not to be worthy of thought; and GER
tainly are not going to japan to hunt
trouble"
For more than hundred years the great
families of the English-speaking people have
dwet in unbroken peace with one another.
and there is no good reason why they should
not continue so. What, then, is more logical
and more to be desired for the common in
terests of America a.-d of the world than a
halt upon the crushing cost of making giant
ornaments more gigantic? If there be not
enough reasonableness and good will among
nations to work out such a plan of RELIEF,
then there is not enough good will or rea-
condolences to hold civilization together.

these psychological tests may turn

strain of the situation when several of them
