WHICH HAS THE GREATEST
INFLUENCEs

According to reports from Rus
sia, women there are held respon-
sibIe for the acts of their men, and
wives are being thrown into prison
an even executed because of their
husbands political faith.
This is playing up to the old
theory of the woman behind the
door of every mans life, with a
vengeance. but 1t probably has as
little foundation as the general
tradition that man is puppet who
moves this way or that, as some
feminine. hand pulls the strings.
And that has always been a polite
fiction.
OF course, Adam started it with
his The woman Thou gavest me.
she did persuade me" stun, and It
proved such a good aIibi for what
ever man wants to do and leave un-
DONE, that he has pushed it for all
! il was worth ever since. The man
who succeeds and the one who fails,
the one who runs straight and the
one who goes crooked, the strong
man and the weak one, each shell
ters himself behind a petticoat, and
says THE woman did it"
But it isn't true. All that a wo-
man can do for a man. either OF
good or evil, is to be an accclera-
tor. She can hurry his speed up or
down grade, but she can't set him
going. For man is a self-starter.
As matter of fact, mans Ynfiu-
cnce over woman is a million times
| greater than woman's influence
over man, and If men would take
the trouble to study women as wo-
men study them and to use this cx-
pert knowledge in working them
as women use theirs in working
| them, they could truly mould the
| feminine sex individually as well
as collectively to their hearts de-
sire.
i 1t is curious to note, in this con-
nection, that while We pirate OF
womans influence over man, and
how ennobling it is, mans influence
over woman is not only greater
| but far more clevating than hers
over him. For woman has never
been able to raise man to any high
moral level, but he has set her feet
| in the straight and narrow way
and kept them there.

ing other than bring in an imme-
diate verdict of acquittal."
The attorney for the defense
ended his plea dramatically, stand
ing motionless with his jaw thrust
forward, smiling in the assumption
that he and the jury together en-
joyed a huge joke on the prosecu-
ton.
Then came the prosecutions turn
| for rebuttaL The janitor of the
Derwyn Building. in which the ac-
cused had his Offices, was called. He
testified that he customarily turned
on the heat through the building
at a. m. and that he had done so
at this hour on the morning of April
81 Following this, Harvey Hun,
took the stand.
Mr.. Hunt" said the prosecutor
after the crime Investigator had
been sworn, will you tell US please
what you found out in the Derwyn
Building"
Il found that on the floor where
Skiddor had his offices that the
steam pipe runs behind the mail
chute a couple of inches below the
slot through which the letters are
mailed, and that it heats up the
metal sides of the chute until they
are painful to the touch. 1 also
found some gummy substance ad-
herring to the inside of the chute at
this point, and scraped some OF it
away"
rs this it?" asked the prosecutor,
holding up a piece Of paper con-
tanning some scrapings. Hunt an
swered affirmatively and it was
passed over to the jury.
Now" continued the prosecutor,
gentlemen of the jury, you have
the green envelope. will you ex-
anime it to see If there is any SINH
lar gummy substance on it?" A
surprised murmur of assent came
from the jurymen.
And what conclusion would you
draw from that, Mr.. Hunt" de-
manded the prosecutor, as the at
torney for the defense leaped wildly
to his feet, spluttering objections.
What connection can you see between the
green envelope, the gummy substance and
the steam pipe which heated the mail
chute
The answer will appear tomorrow.

Late sIeepers and New Broons.

Late Sleepers and New Brooms.
Without any previous notice, John
Turner's boss shifted him from day
work to night work. He said moth
ing about this to Eugenia Thomp-
son. his landlady.
So when Eugenia appeared in his
room with a broom, he asked her
to disperse herself right away and
let him sleep.
Instead, John said, the woman
went on sweeping, and if he had
not used force she would have tum-
bled him out of bed onto the colo
floor
1t was Necessary, he said. to take
Eugenia by the arm and COmpe
her to leave the room.
In doing so, the woman said. Johu
used twice as much force as was
necessary or was permitted under
the circumstances. 1t happened that
he went to sleep with his clothing
on.
The court find John $40 and ad-
vised him to tell his landlady about
his charge of working hours so
there would be no further trouble.
StabbInE Draws Six Months.
1t was at a dance.
Francis Hawkins, discarded lover
of GVace Palmer, was without a
dancing partner and his usual good
humor. He tried to catch the girls
eye, but failed. Finally he walked
over to her.
Il want the next dance with you.
Grace" he said. Nothing doin','
Grace answered. MY time is ali
taken up"
Totally blind to the hint. Francis
approached the girl when the next
dance was about to begin. The girl
again refused.
By this time Francis was getting
hotter and hotter under his celluloid
collar, but fortunately the conflag-
ration going on inside his head,
caused " two turn-downs, was iso-
lated by two thicknesses of bone.
Suddenly he whipped out a knife
and let Grace have it on the elbow

forget. That all depends.
Eleanor Simpson would have for
gotten all about a bump on the
head administered by her husband.

had not hit her again in the same
place.
She overlooked his first outbreak
of temper and the bump soon be-
came ancient history.
Now. she argued, the bump is

bump in the first place.

racy as in the first instance.
He merely held the stick up and
she charged at it, he intimated, but
his way of telling the yarn was not
convincing.
The trouble started over an empty
ginger ale bottle and a broken
alarm clock. The former was hurl-
ed at the latter because 1t made
noise like a fire alarm.
The court told Bob TO leave sic
with the clerk of the court and
warned him that the next time II
happened he would be jailed.
