The Price of a
Week's Board
' By RUTH GRAHAM , '
Tom Burns, a farmer's boy, who
didn't like farm work, went from Illi
nois out into the wild west. There he
wandered about, making -a living as
best he could, but there was little for
him to do, except kill the animals of
the wilderness either for their meat
or their skins. Daring his wanderings
Tom married the' daughter of a settler
who had come from Ohio. She wished
to get back to that' state as much as
her husband wanted to return to Illi
nois. But instead of drifting eastward
they drifted farther westward, for as
civilization encroached upon them the
wild animals, by which Tom made a
living, became scarce, and they were
obliged to find new hunting grounds.
So at last they found themselves in
a gulch where game was plenty and
neighbors were few. It was a deso
late life, especially for the woman.
Tom offered to take his wife east, but
she knew he had never fitted himself
for the work to be done there, and she
preferred to tcmaiu where they were
rather than rim the risk f starving in
her former home.
One day a man came trudging up the
gulch and, stopping at the Burns cab
in, asked Mrs. Burns if he could be
accommodated Tor a short time. She
told him that her husband would be
home soon and then she could give
an answer. The stranger said he
would pav well for his board. When
Tom returned it was agreed between
him and his wife that they would take
the stranger in. though there was only
one room in the cabin. and they "were
ajl obliged to sleep in tho same room.
diTided into two parts by a curtain.
The man wont out every morning
prospecting -for something Be didn't
say what and every night returned to
the cabin, lie remained with the
Burns couple a week, then said to
them:
"I'm going away from here, and I
can't pay you any board. I have been
told that an article Is to be found in
this region that is very valuable. Had
I found it I could have paid you thou
sands of dollars for my keep. As it is
I can't pay yon anything."
"That's all right, stranger," sail
John. "We wouldn't have felt war
ranted in charging you over $4 any
way, so jt doesn't matter much."
"It matters more to me than' to you.
It may be that I've missed tho deposit
I've been looking for. and some day
you may stumble on It. But you won't
recognize it if you do. I'm going to
leave you some chemicals, and if you
ever come across the article I refer to
and mix it with the chemicals and burn
the compound it will give a green
Came." , . ".
He gave them some idea of what the
substance looked like in its crude form
and. pouring the- chemicals from his
stock into Lotties, left them with hiin,
with his address, telling them if they
ever found the- article to write him
and be would make them rich.
A month passed after the stranger's
departure and the Burnses would have
almost forgotten his coming had it not
been for the bottles he had left them
that stood in the cupboard. One day
John, instead of .hunting in the gulch
and the region thereabout, went down
to its mouth and, rounding a mountain,
spur, entered a valley. Ho encounter
ed a trapper, who told him that noth
ing could live there, not even animals,
and there was no use for him to try to
get any game there. So desolate was
the place that it was called Death
valley. John had heard of it and con
cluded to have a look at it before go
ing home. So he wandered about in it
lie hadn't gone far before he saw
scattered about a substance that an
swered the description his boarder 1iad
given him. He gathered some of it
and took it home with him;
After supper, while his wife was
washing tho dishes, he took a piece
of the substance he Lad brought from
Death valley and, pitting it in a tin
pan, poured -the chemicals over it and
set fire to it. As he did so his wife
paused In wiping a dish and watched
him. As the flame burst forth the two
looked at each other with surprise and
pleasure. ,
It burned green.
The couple talked that night over
various plans to secure . what value
there might be in their find to them
selves. They thought of presenting a
claim for the ground where they had
found the substance, but realized that
they were too poor and too ignorant
of the subject to handle it themselves,
so they wrote to their lodger that they
thought they had found what he had
been looking for. He came to see them.
r.nd John showed him a specimen of
his find and also tfcat it burned green.
The stranger uttered an exclamation
of delight.
"That is borax," Jie said, "used for
washing purposes in every household
lu America.'
He told John that if he would tell
him where It lay he would' form a
company lo take the ground, work it
cud would give .Tojin half of all ha
made out of it himself. John accept
ed his proposition, and an agreement .
was written cat and signed by both ac
cording to the term:;.
It turned out the stranger had a Jargi
borax company behind him .with un
limited capital. A 'company wa3 forra
ed, ;ind he retained 20 per cent of the
stock. . Of this. lie assigned one-half to
John, which .gave him more money
than he .and his wife could spend.
They went b.srl: totLe east, where
they lived la comfort for the rest of

WOMAN INFERIOR i,
SiCE BEOiNENQ1
- II
So Says Professor Frederick
Starr Chicago University. ;
MAN OF TODAY STAGNANT.
Noted Anthropologist Points Out That
No Member of Fair Sax Was Ever
Great Musician, Painter or Scientist.
Dr. Cornelia B. Sebey, Prominent
Woman Physician, Makes Reply.
s
"Woman has been an inferior crea
ture ever since the human race was
developed, and she must always re
main eo. The presence of large num
bers of women In occupations hitherto
monopolized by man is unnatural and
indicates racial decline or at least
racial stagnation.- This is an unpro
gressive age. and on this ground alone
can be explained the -relative success
of woman in competition with. man."
That Is the opinion just voiced by
Professor Frederick fetarr. who holds
the chair of anthropology In the uni
versity of Chicago.
Continuing, the educator said: . ' -
"The race is at a standstill. We are
not making progress in 'really impor
tant fields. We are inventing automo
biles and aeroplanes. It is true, sud
are worshipers of machinery and sys
tem." "But that does not count for the
true advancement of civilization. Man
Is stagnant. The male has dropped
out of the struggle and until he enters
It again we shail make no. serious ad
vance. Unequal by Nature.
"Woman by nature is unequal to
man in the development of those quali
ties which make for human progress. ,
She never has distingulsued herself by
important discoveries in any line of
science. .
"As compared with man there never
was a great woman painter, sculptor,
musician, architect or scientist She
has never Invented anything of benefit
to the race.
"The elements of sex superiority
were fixed back In the vegetable king
dom, and she cannot overcyn:o them.
She is conspicuous in affairs now only
because she is playing an inevitable
part in a great race experiment in
which tho activities of man have been
temporarily abridged.
"As soon as man resumes his nor
mal stride woman will drop back im
mediately to the natural position of in
feriority which the female has held
through all the centuries that life has
existed In the earth."
Evolution Slow But Sure,
Dr. Cornelia 15. Dcboy, a noted wo
man physician, upon being told of the
professor's sentiments said:
"In a general way ho is correct, but
in one great particular ne Is wrong.
Woman is evolving slowly and when
she Is of lull stature sho will be ready
for larger action.
"Man to date has had abundant evi
dence of his own superiority, but the
great Issues-of life, tho, human issues
the problems. of existence and adjust
ment, the spiritual problems will be
solved by woman. The male still be
longs to the crust of things.
"The great large, 'eternal womanly,
as Goethe calta It, Is the human species
that will solve the great differences of
humanity.' The very slowness of wom
an's evolution gives promise of larger
fulfillments. This gentleman has mll-1
read the scientific evidence. He has
!
taken the superficial and left the pro- j
found. !
"After nil, the woman Is the mother
of the babe, and a baby Is a greater
poem than Shakespeare ever wrote, a
greater creative evidence than man
ever demonstrated."

TP T was the Bowsers' third Sunday
the Green farm. lie had mowed,
;id he had plowed, nnd.be sat
looking out of the back door and
wondering wiiat else he couJd tackle
to regain his health.
"Are you lonesome?"' asked Mrs.
Bowser after she had Matched for
awhile. " '
"Not a bit of it," was the reply. "1
think I have added ten pounds to my
weight in two weeks."
"Perhaps you Co look better."
'Terhaps? There's no perhaps about
it. I couid bite nails."
"I told j ou the last' thing before we
left home to get a bar of kitchen soap
and bring it along. Did you forget it?"
"Yes, by thunder, but it has reminded
me of something else. I'm mighty gla4

you spoke of It. You shall have soap
ia plenty in the morning."
"But it's five miles to the nearest
grocery."
"We don't want any grocery. I -am
going to make a batch of old fashioned
country soft soap."
"But. you can't." "
"But T can and will."
"How?"
"We have had our experiences with
plowing and mowing. To finish out the
romance wo ought to make soft soap.
Every farmer makes his own soap, you
know."
"But you know how roffc soap is
made, don't you?" she queried.
-"Very likely. I've helped nWbcr to
make millions of barrels of it In fact,
the day you were born 1 was making
soft soap."
Certain Ingredients Necsssary.
"You must have e:p grease," she
suggested.
"Not necessarily."
"Aud lye. We should have to have a
leech to get oiir lye, and I haven't
"Tsavcd any soap grease."
"That's the old way," said Mr. Bow
sent "Here in this box is all we want
to make soap with. I got the stnff at
a Hardware store. You fill your kettle
with water, put in the I lgredicnts and
start the fire, aud Whe.i the soap is
made you send chunks cf it around to
your friends, tied with fancy ribbons."
"Perhaps it will work," she said, in
doubtful tones. ' y -
"It's got to work. The man warrant
ed it to make soap in ope hour. There's
an old kett!e down in the barn, aud
I'll get It up and start a fire."
"Just just what object would it be
to make soft soap?" asked Mrs. Bow
ser as get got up-
N "What object? What's the object of
living? You talk mighty queer for a
woman who Is sent out in Hie Country
for the benefit of her health. In the
first place, it will remind us of a gypsy
cjimpflre- and weave a sort of halo
about our position. In .the second
place, we want soft soap for family
use and to grease the tools and cow's
heels with."
"I never heard of soft socp for a
cow's bee's." '
"Didn't you? There's lots of things
in this cold and cruel world you've
never heard of. Before I was ten
years .old I bad learned that soft soap
ing a cow's feet helped her to Increase
her gait by 30 per cent. You rake
some chips together and I'll bring up
the kettle." - v
Mrs. Bowser Objects.
".But there's ik cow here, and we
haven't got one 'at home," 3be pro
tested. .
- "But we may lfave- some day."
"You'll Lave no luck with your soap,
and then you'll blame me.".
"I'll make a batch of soap almost good
enough to eat, aud there will be no
reason to blame anybody. Wo aro out
here for tho romanee of the thing as
well as for our health. Don't be a
mule about things."
Mrs. Bowser wasn't at all cuthu.-;l33-
tic. knowing that consequences were
sure to follow, but she helped to hoist
the kettle up on some stoues und start
a fire. Mr. Bowser brought the water
from the well, shook in bis ingredients,
and presently the twilight fell, and bia
gypsy camprrre- was irgnfffitf ' op ' tfif
back yard like a beacon.
"Now, this is what I call romantic P
rrclaimed Mr. Bowser as" he sat down
on the ground near the fire and looked:
around with a smile. "Mrs. Bowser,
think of the hot and crowded city, the
bricks and cobblestones, the sufferings
of the people who can't get away!"
Mrs. Bowser withdrew, and for an!
hour Mr. Bowser attended the fire ia
the most faithful manner.- The man
had warranted soap in sixty minutes,
but at the end of that time the stuff ia
the kettle was foaming away as at first.
Mrs. Bowser strolled around to have a
look and to say:
"I don't believe you will make soar
out of that stuff."
Bowser's Brew Stay Soft.
"What you don't believe would fill
I big book," sulkily answered Mr. Bow
ser. "I think it needs salt"
' "Who ever heard of salt In sbft soap?"
"I have, and I'm going to put soma
In. We always use salt to solidify it."
Mr. Bowser got a bowl of salt and
threw it in. but the only effect was to
make more foam. He went back to tho
house for more." but changed his mind
and broujrtit out a box of ginger, a eup
of white sugar and a package of corn
starch and chucked them In one after
another.
"That will be a curious brand of
soap!" said Mrs. Bowser as she. watch
ed the proceedings.
Mr. Bowser turned on her and point
ed to the doorsteps. He had got his
mad up and was dangerous. She re
tired, and he brought nnother pail of
water and increased tho fire. He sud
denly remembered reading that old
.boots were good things in making soft
soap, and. having noticed a barrel of
them in the woodshed, he went after
and brought'out three pairs and drop
ped them into the kettle. When the
contents, had been boiling for an hour
Mrs. Bowser suggested that it was bl
time and that he had all the next day
to experiment' in, but he drew himself
up stitlly and replied:
"If It's bedtime, then go to bed. I set
out to make soft soap, and I'll make it
if I have to stay awake two weeks!"
When she bad gone in bo bethought
him that his mother used to use a sas
safras stick in stirring the contents of
tho soap kettle. He didn't know sas
safras from rosewood: but, taking an
other trio to tho kitchen and pantry,
lie carried out a bath brick, a box of
stove polish, a loaf of bread and three
nutmegs, and tCese things wont into
the kettle to keep the old boots com
pany. No Soap In Sight.
Ten minutes later Jie added a dozen
potatoes, and a little later ho chucked
In an old straw hat from the stock in
the woodshed. Ho was no-nearer soap
than when the fire was first lighted,
and as ho realized this he flung an
old paint keg in on top of alL and
muttered to himself:
"By the beard of my father, but I'll
have soap or dcathj If she doesn't
come in -fifteen minutes more"
She didn't. The smell had got to bo
like the odors of three glue factories
condensed and put up In original pack
ages, and Mr. Bowser had worked
faithfully for three long hours In
smoke and heat All of a sudden he
rushcdin and kicked the kettle off tho
fire and overturned it. and then, selz-'
ing an ax. he hammered away until
the vessel was In fragments. Ten
minutes later hi3 coming to bed awak'
ened Mrs. Bowser, who sleepily que
ried: "Well, how's your soap?"
"Not a word, woman not a word!"
hoarsely replied Mr. Bowser.
"But what's the matter?"
"Xever you mind; I'nnderstand what
has happened, and tomorrow morning
we'll have a talk and settle matters. "
Long ago I warned you that you were
driving me to the dead line. The line
has been reached at last, and It only
remains to arrange the parting the
parting. Mrs. Bowser! Not a word,
not a lisp no excuses! You were de
termined that I shouldn't make soft
soap, and to baffle mo you willfully
and maliciously"
But Mrs. Bowser was asleep and
smiling as she slumbered.
