I said in my Ia.it article that the reason I'fectly sweet, ami the average hui-bund refused to make his the thought am- ixrsonal allowance of money. ah In hand that she might do Willi It as she plrused, but expected her tu per form all tliB multl- iudloua duties of wife, and mother and housekeeper fur her board and tlothef, was the woman's fault. ' It wu because, the sonun herself undervalue her ser vices, and had so little pride. In wo man's great essen tial work In th world "that she didn't demand any thing for her labor, but was humbly gateful to get what she could, and to first earn her waKea and then wheedle them out -'t,W of her lord and mater. This Is why men have taken the lalwr of the , domstle woman without so row n as even a thank you. More, they even have the colossal nerve to swell out their chesu and ne about bragging self-rlghteously about "support ing" the women who work eighteen hours l day like slaves to make them comfort able. They never dream that these wo men's work Is really worth a pay en velope on Saturday night until snme poor, overdriven drugs dies, and Mr. Man ttnda out that It takes sbout three rourths of what he earns to pay the cooks and chambermaids and nurses and seamstresses to do the work that she did. The real reason that widowers are al ways In auch a hurry to get married ngain Is because It Is so much cheaper to support a wife than It is to pay a woman for working for them. And wives are the only people on earth Who work for their board and clothes. But, slas and alsck. woman's lack of pride tn her work does not end with the performance of domestic duties. It ex tends to every variety of work eicept the three professions about which linger a halo of bogus romance. If a woman Is on Ihe stage, no matter how poor an actress she Is; If she Is an arttt. no mat ter how weird the pictures she paints; If she writes, no matter what dilvel she icrlbhlrs, she Is proud of her work. Oth erwlxe fhe Is ahamed of it. and apolo siies for it, end keeps It concealed as far as she can. And In that luck of prlile In her work Is the whole secret of why she so sel dom succeeds, and so often falls. Hhe dorsn t lack the ability, she doefn't la k Intelligence, she doesn't lack industry, tihe simply la' ks the punch that we put behind anything that we are proud of and rlory In doing. She lacks the kind of Inspiration that comes about a thing of which we think every minute we are awake, and dream every minute we are asleep, and which we hor other lo ple to death talking about because we are so Interested In it that we Imagine It the moaf thrilling subject on earth to ever body. It you sit down on the tiain by a prosperous looking man before ou"ve gone twenty-five miles he will tell you that he is the leading banker or mer chant in Suueedunk. or that he travels for the biggest wholesale grocery In the country, and that his sales last year broke the record for his house. But if you should sit down by a smartly dressed woman who Is a milliner or dressmaker you might travel with her from New York to San Francisco and ihe would never p: once about ber shop. She would talk about fashion and ask you If you didn't think Mr. Astor per- The Boy Scout J By MUS'XA IRVIXG. The little boy scout goes marching out In a khaki suit or tan. And a broad felt hat with a silver cjjrd. Just like a grown-up man. He feels so b!g as he swings aiong In steps with the lln. of boys. That he knows he never again will cry Or play with his childish toys. The little boy scout Is only elcht.

She would want you to think lur a silly, Incom petent, usekss, waster Instead of the admirable, sensible, comietcm, upbullder that she was. Isn't that funny? And sad Couldn't you laugh over It? And weep? I want to repeat, with all the em phasis 1 can, that the reason women fall at their work Is because they are ashamed of It. You can't put your heart Into the doing of a thing unless you are proud of It, and unless you believe that It's the most Important thing going, and the doing of It will reflect glory on you. Can anybody Imagine the woman making a fortune, taking boarders who Is so ashamed of keeping boarders that she .calls them "paying guests"? t an anybody Imagine the stenographer who comes down to an office dressed as If she were going? to a reception even ad vanclng to the position of confidential secretary?

One hundred ami seventy-four years sun tiKlay-Kebruary SI. i;-lhere tame Into Ihe port of New York a ship from the Kmerahl Isle bearing among Its human freight a young man of A who was to exert great Influence upon Ihe foil ulna of this continent. The name of the young man was William Johnson, to be known to fame later on as ttlr Wil liam Johnson, Ihe king of diplomats, natural horn sol dier, statesman snd master of men. In his native county of Mellh. Ireland, wherein he was born, about 171S, Johnson fell deeply In love, but when h told his love to the black-haired, blue- eyed beauty who had enthralled' his hesrt he was rudely rejected. Ilroken- hearted and miserable, he reached the conclusion that Ufa was not worth liv ing, and In the depths of his despair he even contemplated suicide. Hut Johnson was Intended for a nobler 1 nd than that of filling a suicide grave. Ills unele, Mir Ieter Warren, owned large tracts of land In Ihe Mohawk Valley, and, thinking to cure Ins nephew of his love sickness and at Ihe aims time lo make him of some use In the world, he sent hliu to look after his Wg estates In New Vol It. The plan worked like a charm.

The vslue of this wonderful power, possessed by Johnson over the Indians was seen throughout the struggle be tween France and Kngland tor supremacy on the continent. By keeping the power ful six nations true to the Kngllsh Johnson may be said 19 have saved the day for Kngland. The strateglo Im portance of the state of New York In the French-Kngllsh wsr wu Immense, and It was Johnson's diplomacy In pre serving that Importance for the Kngllsh that finally turned the scale. If the terrible Iroquois confederacy had been against the Kngllsh It Is more than likely that the struggle would not have ended as It did. In which event there would have been no English rule In America, and no United Sialea as wo now know them. Johnson died In ITU, In his' fifty-ninth year, rich snd full of honors, hiving don far more than bis tilr part tuwrl the establishment of progressive elon gation among men.

QUESTIONS IN SCIENCE ' ' J) By BDOAm LUCMsJ LABXI. ' Questions Since science has triturated matter down to electrons, and as we can pump them all out of a tube, and the mind of man can conceive that but in the tube there Is space, absolutely un sffected did the creative mind create ' endless space? A. iielegllse. Ban Fraa claco. Answer This iiueatlun cannot be an swered, because the phase of mind mam festlng as human this Is, functioning In the human brain and Issuing forth In the phase called thought cannot commence to think of space. Nor can this mind tn man think of Ihe mighty meaning of the word create, yet this same mind Is well aware that there la such a world, and that It implies tha existence of a mind able to create. For mind Is the only en ' My In existence that can create. That la, to think a thought that has not been thought before. For no object can appear without a preceding thought ct it. Q.-As neither molecules, atom nor electrons are visible In the most powerful microscope, what la the reason for dis carding them for electrons, and how under the circumstances can the else, and number of these electrons be determined? John I. Dlake. Ban Francutcc. A. To answer this would require sic pages of The Bee, filled with cuts and descriptions of sclentifia Instruments. A particle of matter containing 1,W0,) atoms could scarcely. It at all, be seen even In the ultra violet energy micro scope. Now let the l.OOO.Oft) atoms separate out into a space fitly or 100 limes greater than the solid particle occupies agi charge each one with high-pressure elec tricity. They will move with unthinkable speed. It them strike the hard metal platinum ami It will become white hot. jand even melted. If the bombardment la continued. Ix-t the electrons hit the platlno-cyanlde of barium surface of the disk or screen vt a Crookca splmbwo acope, then at each impact or collision up an electron a minute brtUlaat flash or spark can be teen. These results of bombarding can bo viewed la micro scopes of great magnifying power. Ruth erford. Thompson and Miilikaa by Intri cate methods ot damping and Isolating have succeeded In singling out one elec tron.
