Some presumptuous mas published a Hat of commandments for wives, one of which ran: "Now and then a< knowledge gracefully that thy but band knows more about some thing than thou. After all, thou are not in fallible." A second and still more dar lng rule for wives waa, "Never be ag­ gressive in thy arguments with thy husband, but aJwsje consider him as superior to thee." This was too mntf for French feminist* unci no wouu«f One lady answered the presumptuous man indignantly: "The weaker se has not merely duties; it has al» rights. Feminism is advancing, and nothing will stop it The weaker sex is the equal of the eterner, Equality forever! Here are the command­ ments which women oppose to those of men." The lady then gives the rules for husbands with more spirit than logic: "Woman has a right to have whims; it ie a privilege of her sex. Never put her out. She might have hysterics, whloh would impair her health and cost thee money in doctors' bills." Another commandment runs: "Re­ member, good man, that thy wife is thy superior by her grace, her beauty and refinement. Therefore always worship at her feet." Where then, good lady, does "equality forever"' come in, if woman not only ban priv­ ileges because she is a woman, but la decidedly superior to man? Surely the strong-minded suffragist would spurn privileges of sex. In another rule the lady seems to show some sly Knowledge of her sis­ ters. "If, good man, thou desirest mountain air, ask thy wife to come to the seaside; she will immediately propose a holiday in Switzerland." But this 1b a very mild gibe at her own sex compared with her final thrust at the other In her last rule for husbands: "Man was created be­ fore woman as a preliminary sketch for the masterpiece. Remember, then, O husband, that thou art but a rough draft." This ought to shut any hus­ band up finally.--London Telegraph. Where He Got His Inspiration. Former District Attorney John J. Sullivan was the principal speaker at a reunion of old soldiers a few days ago. He had all of his wonderful com­ mand of pathos and eloquence in full working order that day, and as he con­ cluded his oration tears glistened in the eyes of many of the veterans. One of the old boys in blue came up to Mr. Sullivan, pressed his hand and said: "Your description of the scenes on the field of carnage during a fight was beautiful. You must have been in the thick of a battle some time. Whore did you have your most thriliing ex­ perience?" "At Warren," replied Colonel Sulli­ van. "At Warren? Why, I never knew there was any fighting there." "Probably not," replied Colonel Sullivan, "but if you had been behind the hat for Warren the day we beat Youngstown, 1 to 0, you would have known you were in a fight and A mighty warm one, too," and the colonel extended his gnarled and twisted fingers to prove his assertion. --Cleveland Leader. Whims. The city man who was summering In the country was lounging at a lit­ tle station on an interurban line. Along came a seedy pilgrim walking up the track. "My friend," said the city man, "do you expect to hoof it to the next sta­ tion ?" "Sure." "How far is it?" " 'Bout bIx miles." "What's the fare from here there?" "Fifteen cents, I reckon." "Car coming pretty soon?" "Yep." "Well, Just to gratify a whim, sup­ pose you let me lend you money enough to pay your fare to that sta­ tion." "That's all right, boss." "I haven't the change. Here's a quarter." "Thanks. Now, boss," said the seedy wayfarer, "Jes' to gratify a whim, I'm goin' to keep on hoofln' it. Goodby." Four Hundred Years Before Peary. The north pole is the place of great­ est dignity in the world; and the peo­ ple who dwell near it "have a wonder­ ful excellency, and en exceeding pre­ rogative above all nations of the earth." How blessed we may think this nation to be; for they are in per­ petual light, and never know what darkness meaneth, by the benefit of twilight and full moons, as the learned in astronomy do very well know, which people, if they have the notice of their eternity by the comfortable light of the Gospel, then are ihey blessed and of all nations most blessed. Why then do we neglect the search of this excellent discovery, against which there can be nothing said to hinder the same?--From Hak luyt's Voyages (Sixteenth Century). Denies the At legations. Mrs. Lilian M. N. Stevens, president of the National W. C. T. XL, at the an­ nual convention in Washington, de­ nied that it is true that drunkenness among women is increasing. She said she had never seen a woman in this country with a cigarette in her mouth Mid does not believe that either the whisky or cigarette habit is on the in­ crease among women.
