OMAHA. Oct. To the Editor of The
!: A a reader of The Bee for nearly a
quarter of a century I cannot refrain from
taking exception to an article In lant Sun
day Issue under the caption "Blames All
on the Woman." and signed "One vf the
Sufferers."
Any casual observer of men and affairs
could see that the article was a tfagrant
misrepresentation of fart and an unjust
arraignment ef woman. This subject of
nun and woman In their various ' so
cial and marital relations la of such In
finite scope as to make it Impossi
ble to state with matematlcal pre
cision what per cent of shortcomings
should be charged to man and what to
woman. But It Is a generally accepted fact
among reasonable people that It Is a case
of "sis of one and half a dozen of the
other."
So, mhen "One of the Sufferers"' tells ui
that from bis observation 10 per cent of
the canes of marital un happiness were
caueed by woman, he certainly must ex
cuse us for thinking his observations very
limited, and for refusing to accept bis state
ment as applicable In a general sense.
StatistioB will refute such a statement.
The writer further attests his limited
knowledge of the subject by stating be has
found the average woman to be "thought
less, selfish, self-indulgent. Inconsiderate
and cruel." and then clinches the nail by
suppose you are a good mn. or you
wouldn't start such a raid against the
women. 1 don't our pose that you would
be willing to admit that the world is
equally as full of vain, frivolous, selfish,
unconsldrate, cruel aid heartless men. or
will say the towns and citls. as we
all know they have their share of ouch
men, as well as of the women of which
you write. Hut. oh. they ae not the
average. If tliey are. God help the puffer
ies, nieii t'.iat are to take our places. I
sut.pose thst everyone of us has our
gn' ai.e of stime kind, snd that we could
write volumes If we saw fit, but if each of
us 'were to writ our own opinion of all
the people that we know and criticise from
our own standpoint and were to put these
saffie criticisms In print and scatter them
broadcast among the people, 1 wonder
r.-hat would happen. I bell-eve that It
would throw the wnole universe into a fit
of despondency and di.couragement. from
which it Wouia not recover until the
prreerrt generation had passed away.
There is no one of us who can reform
the world. I for one do not think It safe
ti try, but I do think that when we have
reached - the age of i5 years we ought to
begin to see a few of the good things la
ilfe and ask; the best of mhat good we
do see snd not waste our time snd sour
our disposition by picking flaws with the
few frivolous persons that we happen to
meet.
Oh. yes. there is Just one thing more 1
would like to say. About this traveling
man and hit troubles: Mr. Sufferer, this
picture does seem just a wee bit overdrawn,
but that a all right. Allow me to draw the
future at the o.her end of the road. 1 have
been la a position to know a few traveling
men's families myself, trtd you see this
same traveling man after he had turned
the corner and set down the heavy grips,
gave bis blonde mustache an extra curl
and winked the other eye and say to him
self. "Poor Marie, It is too bad, but a fel

hotel office all the time; he must have a

EDWARD BLACK.
FREMONT. Neb.. Oct l.-To the Editor
of The Bee: I have been reading the dif
ferent articles in The Bee, written by Mrs.
Belle Aldrich and "One of the Sufferers."
I cannot resist the temptation to write a
few lines. X would like to aay to the suf
ferers that It doea not seem wise or fair to
form an opinion of womankind, by the few
that one man may happen to know la a
lifetime. To the, average women that this
poor sufferer has known have been
thoughtless, selfish, Inconsiderate and cruoi.
He has evidently got into the wrong class
of women and stayed too long In one place.
1 think it is time for you to move. Pull
yourself together and move around; go
away out in the country, or almost any
where, out of your suffering position and

and women that Mrs. Bella Aldrich tells us
about, and a great many like your own
mother snd aunt. I don't agree with yon
at all. that the description you give la of
the average woman; "May the good Lord
help ua all if it ia so. I think you must
have had a fit of the blues when you wrote
that letter. Tou know you didn't speak In
very flattering terms of her when you said
you had been married twenty years, and
then signed yourself "One of the Sufferers. "
Supposing that new beaver hat did come

Within a few hours the demand for toma

they are rather poor and sold early in the

Meanwhile F. Babbitt, a gardener from

The tragedy begins on the dewy, chilly
farm about 4 o'clock Saturday morning. Mr.
Babbitt is hitching up to bring a load of
tomatoes to the city market. But he has
other business, too. for the rent is due on
his lease. So be takes out the necessary
$161 from the family bank, which Is cbout

former occasions been held up twice on tbe
lonely road and relieved of small sums of
money.
"Ah ha." aays he. slipping the purse down
hi one of the baskets of tomatoes. "It will

Arrived in town, the market is lively and
Mr. Babbitt hastens to enter into the com

BERLIN. Sept. M (Special Correspond
ence. There is nothing like an exteuded
ocean voyage to treate in the heart of a
landlubber a longing for terra firma. After
ten days' confinement to the limited
promenade quarters of an ocean-going
steamer, the gleaming light of The Lizard
shines out like a beacon of cheer and wel
come. No creeping thing was ever so heart
ily welcomed and enthusiastically cheered
as this English reptile that assured us we
would soon again be stretching our sea
legs on land. On July 18 we landed in Hol
land and found the Dutch greens a pleasant
change from the monotonous green of the
sea. The Dutch have honestly gained their
reputation for indefatigable Industry and
canny thrift. On every side are the re
sultant signs of prosperity and comfort.
The fields, dotted everywhere with large,
bell-topped, four-armed windmills, shine
like emerald. Herds of cattle graze cn the
open Eats that stretch, green, rich and
level, as far as the eye can reach.
But If this bird's-eye view of Dutch rural
life is restful, Dutch urban life is more
worthy of note. To one inured to the matter-of-fact,
up-to-date ways and the rush
and hurly-burly of American urban life,
the almost primitive ways and easy-going
methods of the Rotterdam citizens come
with a sensation of picturesque delight and
almost of relief. Not that Rotterdam shows
less signs of a pulsing business life than
Amsterdam or The Hague, but that Dutch
life is nearer its natural and primitive level.
The Hague and Amsterdam are court cities
and. like all centers of fashion and pleas
ure, have taken on a superficial stratum.
Life la Ratterdasa.
In Rotterdam, Dutch life may be seen at
Its best. Dogs harnessed to handcarts are
the favorite ag?nts of transportation, and
they scurry along the streets with a speed
with which one would not credit these
heavy-laden mongrels. Its street railway
facilities have not advanced beyond the
one-horsed stage. The Dutch policemen,
too, are at first objects of wonder and sur
prise. The first member of the Dutch
"finest" that I ever met I took for a Dutch
major general, so bedecked was he with
cape, helmet, braided coat, spotless whits
gloves and clattering sword. When I
learned my mistake I came to the con
clusion that each policeman might well be
provided with an orderly to carry his ac
coutrements in case his services might be
required. But of all the quaint sights in
this city of canals and bridges nothing was
more primitive than tbe fee-fishing toll
raker. Nearly all the swinging bridges are
state property, but here and there are
private bridges that the state has not ac
quired and here the Dutch toll-taker, seated
high In a little tower on the bridge, leis
urely collects his toll. As the bridge swings
up the toll-taker throws a long fishing pole
and line, at the end of which is a small
wooden shoe, over the side of tbe bridge.
The steersman of the passing boat deposits
therein his fee, the fisherman leisurely
draws up his silver catch and Rotterdam
canal traffic swings serenely on.
Rotterdam seems to have grown old as
a man grows old. It shows no signs of
sudden change. Its ancient, straggling red-
tiled houses, in places, lean tipsily out of
plumb over the lips of the canals. Ia other
streets it Is hard to guess what effect the
arch!-ct wished to bring out. One wing
of a h juse will Jut boldly out. another will
hang timidly back as If it has not quite
made up its mind to declare Itself. It seems
that the Dutch never think of tearing
down, rebuilding and remodeling. The
churches stand cold, massive, bare and
cheerless, scornfully and sternly resisting
the comforts that modern heating and
lighting facilities might give them. In
Amsterdam, an eld exchange stands,
broken down and empty, facing the busiest
thoroughfare in the city. In America tt
would soon give place to a sky scraping
office building, but the Dutch e'lng to
their ancient landmarks with a tenacity
that la almost religious. They would as
soon think of removing their grandsirea aa
of remodeling their ancient buildings.
Datek laqalaltlveaeaa.
If there ia one other thing as universally
apparent as Dutch thrift and industry and
Dutch reverence for tbe past. It is the keen
sense of Dutch curiosity. Nearly all the
upper windows of Dutch houses are pro
vided with reflecting swivel mirrors, and
here the Dutch dames sir, screened from
view themselves by a convenient shutter
or curtain, but able to discuss at leisure
the pedestrian approaching from the op
posite direction, without incurring the fate
that befell Lot's wife. Possibly this same
characteristic is responsible for the Dutch
citizen's fondness for cafe life. The Dutch
man will take his seat in a cafe, opening an
the street, order a glass of Holland beer,
half and half, or a cup of the finest coffee
in the world, and discuss it and passers-by
for a couple of hours. A street scene at
night from the vantage of one of these
popular cafes affords a splendid panorama
of life and color. The Kalverstraat, Am
sterdam, especially affords the spectator a
typical Holland night street scene and for
variety and animation can be surpassed
only in Paris and Brussels. The narrow
street, not more than fifteen feet wide, Is a
solid mass of moving humanity, composed
of braided officers, uniformed soldiers, serv
ant girls, marked by their long striped
overskirt and little lace muffin caps,
orphans in their strange garb, one half
black and the other scarlet, peasant women
in their monotonous costume, consisting
of long white bead dress, golden crullers
and drab skirts, sailors, aivUiaaa and
strangers.

From Amsterdam to Cologne may be

One Day ea the Rhine.
A day on the Rhine from 'Cologne to
Mains carries the traveler through the
most beautiful, picturesque and historic
portion of Germany. The splendid river
steamers, slip swiftly up this stream
through ever changing scenery. The bold
rise and Attic clarity of outline of the
mountains, - the long green sweep of the
covered hills, the myriad shades of the
part -colored fields, laid out as carefully
and accurately aa if by the hand of a
landscape gardener, make a charming
picture on a glorious sunshiny day.
Ancient castles, in all stages of ruin and
restoration, line the whole course fcf the
Rhine. The ruin of the Drachenfela, with
Its fallen towers and portcullis, perched
like a great gray eagle on the bald cliff SOO
feet above the Rhine is perhaps the most
famous, but there are many others more
picturesque. Almost all stand on seemingly
Inaccessible hills. Their walls are fallen
and shattered. Vines clamber up and fill
the breaches. The blue sky s lining
through the Gothic-pointed Windows give
them the appearance of sightless eyes while
tbe broken machicolation of the battle
ments looks like the grinning 'aw of death
head. A talL, angular, raw boned American
teacher standing near, after looking In
tently at a number of these ruined castles
and balf in the dream of the past, ex
claimed: Where are the owners of these
robber castles now?" To which a fellow
passenger, smarting from a recent experi
ence, remarked that they must have
moved down into the neighboring cities
and taken possession of the hotels and
restaurants.
Evening was a fitting close to a day of
interest and beauty. The hills that all day
long had stood cut so sharply as to weary
the eye were now shrouded and softened by
the evening's shadows. The vTVid green of
the fields darkened as the shadows crept
over tbe hllla Tbe tolling of village bells
came softened from the distance like the
cooing of a dove. The Rhine lay behind us
in a broad bronze, almost ripplelesa stream,
over wmich night gradually drew a curtain,
over which night gradually drew a curtain.

Rubber Money
The money you spend for
rubber footwear probably doesn't
amount to a lot. even in the
course of a year. But it's just as
good as any other money you
have; you may as well make it
go as far as possible.
The way to stretch rubber
money is to spend it for Selz
Royal Blue Rubbers all kinds
of rubber footwear, for all kinds
of uses and people.
They're better - than - usual
rubbers; which means they wear
better and look better than usuaL
They cost the same as usual, plus
the trouble of asking for them.
If your shoe man doesn't sell
them let us know.
