The “Co-ad” Poril.
The president of Tufts’ collect
warns the trustees that coeducation
must he abandoned if the institution
ia to attract male students. Young
■*». he says, are showing a decided
preference for men’s colleges, where
they are undisturbed by feminine as
sociation. Only by the segregation of
the women students in a department
ef their own. President Hamilton
thinks, can the drift away from Tufts
he checked, and the college of letters
prevented from soon becoming a girls’,
school. The warning is interesting, as
fallowing by just a year the adoption
of the plan of sex segregation at the
University of Chicago. Are college
youths becoming fearful of mollycod
dling influences at coeducational
institutions? asks the New York
World. At least there were no
mollycoddles in the Cornell boat at
Poughkeepsie, nor on the Michigan
and Wisconsin university elevens.
Doubtless the main cause is a discon
tent with the Invasion of their ancient
domain by women in numbers which
threaten soon to reduce the male stu
deats to a minority. In ten years the
growth of the great coeducational col
leges has been phenomenal, Cornell in
creasing Us numbers from 1,800 to Z,
399; Michigan adding 1,800, and, Wis
consin 1,400. At the University of
Chicago the college population almost
trebled, advancing from 1,881 to 5,997.
Tofts itself jumped from 500 to 1,160.
Meantime the strictly women’s col
leges have grown greatly, Smith,
which this year has a freshman class
of 600, increasing from 850 to 1,375,
and Vassar doubling its numbers. The
gain is suggestive when contrasted
with the increase of 111 at Williams,
227 at Princeton, 135 at Bowdoin and
21 at Amherst.
' Water Power Going to Waste.
The newly-created inland waterways
cemmission is going to teach the peo
ple a lot of things about the most valu
able mineral In the world—a mineral
of which, because it is plentiful, we
are more wasteful than of anything
else, throwing it away wholesale, and
k. exhibiting a stupid neglect of its possi
^ tiilities of usefulness. So writes Rene
Bache in The Technical World Maga
zine. The mineral in question is wa
ter. Everybody drinks it, and most
folks use it for bathing. The latter
employment is considered by many
non-essential, but as a beverage it Is
so far indispensable that, if wholly
deprived of it, all of mankind on the
earth—not to mention the fowls'of the
air and the beasts of the field—would
perish in about four days. The crops,
too, are made to grow by the same
beneficent fluid, which, incidentally,
furnishes power on an enormous and
steadily-increasing scale for manufac
turing purposes. To the harnessing of
their rivers the southern states mainly
owe their recent industrial rejuvena
tion.

The cost of living is increasing not
merely in the United States but
abroad, and largely because of the ar
bitrary action of producers and deal
ers in advancing prices. The matter
has become serious in some quarters,
notably In countries where the wage
scale is low. In Italy the public au
thorities are beginning to take matters
in hand. The city government of
Rome proposes to step in and fix a
maximum price for all provisions, im
posing penalties for violation of the
regulations. Municipal ownership in
any form is something to be wary of.
but if such control takes the shape of
checking extortion that adds vastly to
the hardships of the people a great
many may be inclined to condone the
procedure. *
Constitutional government is becom
ig so popular that It begins to look as
though no country with any pretense
of being up to date will be content to
remain without it. Even so conserva
tive an old lady as the dowager em
press of China has been seized with a
desire to follow the fashion and has
promised her people a constitution.
Persia, hitherto reckoned among the
most non-progressive of nations, is as
sured a constitution, the shah having
signed an edict to that effect. If Rus
sia's czar does not wish to be help
leesly behind the times he wflj gave
to hasten to grant a constitugs* «o his
subjects. Why not try it, even If
dumas are not always as subservient
to the royal will as might 6eem ad
visable to the sovereign?

NEED CO-OPERATION
' .
ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS IN ALL
BUSINESS UNDERTAKINGS.
ON SOME LATE IMPOSITIONS
Scheme* Devised t* Deceive the Peo
ple and to Gain Support for Un
Bound Financial Propo
sitions.
Harmonious co-operation is 'essen
tial in any successful business. By
co-operation is not meant such orga
nization as the communistic and mon
astic societies found in parts of the
European countries, and occasionally
existing in America. As co-op*r«.tioD
relates to manufacture and commer
cialism, it simply means a righteous
regard on part of employer and the
employed for the liberty and privil
ege of both. It means of the laborer,
a just day’s work for a just day’s
compensation; and for the employer,
services rendered for the wages he
must pay. Interests of both are paral
lel. One has his capital invested,
money employed and the other has al
so his capital represented by his abil
ity to labor either in a mental or
physical capacity.
In England and in parts of Ger
many, there are numerous societies,
the workers in each being common
stockholders and participating in all
profits according to their holdings.
In fact these societies are nothing
more than the great railroad com
panies and industrial concerns of
America,'only that in the latter the
stockholders seldom take an active
part in the work performed. One who
takes the care to study into condi
tions in the countries where this
form of co-operation exists, will find
environments far dffferent from what
obtains in the United States. In vari
ous places and at different times at
tempts to copy after the English co
operative societies have been made in
the United States. Failure has re
warded the efforts made. Some few
communities flourished for a time,
then decayed.
Propped up by the success of the
few successful organisations in the
old country, shrewd schemers have
started different commercial enter
prises in citias of the United States,
supposed to be operated upon the co
operative plan. When carefully stud
ied, and the plans of the promoters
dissected, it will be found that co
operation in these cases seems-simp
ly the getting into business on other
people's money, and weaving around
the enterprise such appearances as
leads the unsophisticated to believe
that from few dollars invested, great
savings can be made. In fact the
co-cperative plan is more for the pur
pose of advertising a private business
proposition and gaining trade from
those who invest their dollars in the
plan.
It is a foolish thing for the resi
dent of any town or farming commu
nity to invest money in such enter
prises, which means competition for
his home town, the killing off of its
business and the building up of con
cerns in large cities. The earnest man
or woman can see in their own home
place splendid chances for co-opera
tion. Established business systems
as found in the rural towns, are
splendid examples of what co-opera
tion should be. The home merchant
supplies the residents of the place
with the commodities that they re
quire; the merchant is the medium
of exchange of the products of the
farmer. In the transactions employ
ment is given to home labor, and the
little profits are kept at home for
the benefit of all In the community.
Co-operation can be simmered down
to a strictly home-trade principle, and
there can be no higher form, no sys
tem Inaugurated that will bring bet
ter results to the masses. Before you
invest in co-operative mercantile
schemes devised by shrewd business
men In the large cities, study every
phase of the question well, and you
are likely to conclude that in your
own town there is plenty of room for
co-operative work.
EQUITABLE PROFITS.
Cost of Production Should Always Be
a Factor in tn# Matter of Prices.
Profits should bear an equitable re
lation to cost of production. The farm
er who has money invested in lands,
agricultural implements, stocks, and
other things necessary to carry on his
business, when selling his products
must take into consideration the inter
est on his money invested, the wear
and tear of farm equipment, the wages
of hired help and a salary for his own
service. When he sells his products
for less than pays the expenses nec
essary to carry on his work and culti
vate his crops, care for his 6tock, etc.,
he is the loser. The same principles
apply to the person engaged In any
other line of business. There is inter
est on capital employed, wages, taxes,
license and cost of articles which com
prise the stock necessary for opera
tion. Goods must be sold at a certain
percentage of profit or there will be
a case for the sheriff or the bank
ruptcy court. In dealing with our
fellow men we should always bear In
mind the principles of business, and
not exact too great profits or sell or
buy at prices other than equitable. It
is also a good thing to remember when
great bargains are offered that cost
of production and legitimate profits
must be considered. Too low prices
give cause J for suspicion that goods
are inferior in some way, or that there
is-a “nigger In the fence.”
Almost every small town has an ice
house of sufficient capacity to supply
the people locally with ice. It would
not be very expensive to conduct in
connection with it a cold storage plant
of capacity great enough to care for
the storage of fruit, eggs and other
produce brought in from the sur
rounding country. Such an. establlsh
’ ment would often save -farmers Qsn
slderable money, by enabling* them

LITTLE TOWN HELPS.
In these days of Invention nod p*t

There is a wholesomeness in the
right kind of competition, and In co
operation; but neither foolish co
operation or foolish competition has
ever been known to help along the
business of any town, unless it is “that
other town” near by.

Sales days In the. town that is sup
ported by the farming trnde, and some
particular attraction that will enter
tala and instruct the members of the
farmers’ families, have been inaugu
rated in towns of the west with good
results.

The American farmer ia a progreo
sive mortal. He is always ready to
learn new things. He realizes more
than ever the necessity of education
In his business. He no longer ignores
the fact that science Is a wonderful
factor in his work, a money saver
that must be considered if he suc
ceed. The more intelligent is the
farmer, the more Interest will he take
In the furthering of the interests of
his home town.

American public schools are the
great props of national government.
The more prosperous is a commuaity
the higher will be the educational fa
cilities. Good schools are a help to
any town, and bring into it the most
desirable classes who 3eek to educate
their children. He who assists in
building up the business of a town,
also assists in bettering the schools.
No town was ever mado great by Its
people and these in its neighborhood
giving patronage to distant institu
tions.
FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.
Prosecution, of Oppressive Combines
Afford a Lesson to Homo Traders.
Never before has there been such
a stirring up of the masses and ar
awakening as to rottenness in finan
cial affairs among the large corpora
tions as at present. Some one at one
time said that "when thieves fall out
the devil gets his reward.” Sc it
seems at present when faction is ar
rayed against faction in exposing
crooked operations in great financial
and business deals, in which the little
fish are swallowed by the big ones,
and the men in control, like wolves,
lead the lanjbs to slaughter.
It Is amazing how farspread are the
frauds practiced, and how high up in
public estimation are the manipula
tors of the rotten deals. The stealings
of the millionaires and multi-million
aires, the intrigues and their perjuri
ous lying and misrepresentations to
accomplish their aims; the intricacy
of the machinery used in their opera
tions, the perfection of the means, the
combinations employed to fleece the
people of dollars, would do credit to
a Gagliostro or a Machiavelli, or a
Cart. Kidd.
There cannot be doubt that these
various articles appearing in the mag
azines and general newspapers will
have the result of opening the eyes
of the public to things that few hereto
fore ever gave serious consideration.
They will have the effect of making
the people more cautious in making
investments of their earnings, and
will result in le33ons that are bene
ficial to the country at large. Home
trade principles preclude the possibil
ity of people losing by the operation*
of such gigantic schemers. Money in
vested in your own community in the
development of its latent resources
will give excellent returns, is ever
under your own observation, and while
the percentage of profit from some
home investments may not be up to
the representations made by the ma
nipulators of stocks and the shearers
of lambs in general, you are not so
likely to be a loser.

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.
How to attract trade to towns is a
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the ob
jects desired. The people of the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo
ple on a friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for “market day.” For this
occasion bands of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are em
ployed to interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are Invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs, ia
fact, every product that they have for
sale, and the same is auctioned off to
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds of articles can be hail
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprising small towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become noted for many milea
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood of less enterprising towns.
The market-day idea is worthy of con
sideration by business men in small,
towns who desire tp pursue an
pensive method of attracting
th0: place.

All the members of the 'Winters
family, with one exception, were liter
ary. This exception was Dorothy. Mr.
Winters was editor-in-chief of one of
the large city papers, Clarence was re
porter tor another, sister Mary was a
schoolteacher, and sister Lucia wrote
tor the magazines. As for Mrs. Win
ters, she was president of the Brown
ing club, secretary of the Woman's
club, and an active member of a vari
ety of other clubs too numerous to
mention.
It would seem rather strange that in
a family so steeped in the atmosphere
of books and newspapers there should
be one black sheep; although to call
Dorothy a black sheep were certainly
a libel, for if there ever was a white,
sweet, dearly loved lamb in any flock,
she could lay claim to that distinction.
The term is only used to convey the
idea that she was different from the
others. While they were all studious,
thoughtful and serious in their tastes,
she was the gayest, most careless and.
so they all declared, the most frivolous
little body in existence. Everyone
loved pretty Dolly. She was so sweet
natured, so generous, so full of vitality
and sprightliness, that it was impossi
ble to do otherwise.
It never happened that anyone ever
questioned the domestic talents and
inclinations of Dorothy. It had been
settled when she was quite a small
child that Nature had intended her
for a little housewife. She could make
the most delicious desserts and the
most toothsome confectionery; she
had such beautiful taste in arranging
the dining-room table and kept the
house so fresh and orderly that no one
ever suspected that she abhorred the
dishpan, hated to make beds, or was
made faint and • sick by the sight of
raw meat when she went to market
to select her father's favorite cuts.
Dolly never said anything about it.
Naturally, no one could be supposed to
know.
Now, it frequently happens that the
careers laid out for us by our friends
are not always the ones we should
select it left to ourselves. This was
the case with Dorothy. Secretly she
longed to be literary, like the rest,
instead of domestic. She did try to
write sometimes, just as the others
did, and worked hard over some ex
tremely indifferent little stories which
were destined to travel many weary
miles between herself and various pub
lishers.
Dorothy knew well enough that her
writing was very poor, and soon
ceased to hope to distinguish her
self in this way. As a matter of fact,
she did not like to write at all. and
only did so because she hated to be
a drone in this literary beehive. It
was simply a bore to her, and she
spent much of her time making
sketches on the margin of her paper,
as Tommy Traddles did in David Cop
perfield; only instead of drawing skel
etons, she made curious brownies and
grotesque animals that it certainly
would have been no sin to worship,
for they w*ere like nothing on earth nr
in the waters beneath the earth. The
family called them Dorothy s “queer j
cows.”
At last she despaired altogether, |
and when the rejected manuscripts
had all come back she tumbled them
in a heap into a drawer, which she
never opened without a very down-in
the mouth sort of feeling. It Is to be
feared that just the least little bit
of a grain of bitterness was in Doro
thy's heart when she thought of the
position of the household director to
which she had been so summarily rele
gated by her affectionate friends. Still
the old longing to do something kept
pulling away at her, and when she
began to beg to be allowed to take
drawing lessons at the Art Institute,
her mother said:
“Why not let her do it? The dear
girl has a good many lonesome hours
when we are all away or busy, even
If she is so domestic. Looking after
the house doesn’t take all her time.”
“Why of course,” said Mr. Winters.
"If there’s anything in the world that
I can do to give Dorothy a pleasure
I’m only too glad.”
“Oh, certainly,” said sister Lucia.
“It will give her something to think
of, even if she doesn’t accomplish
much with it.”
And so Dorothy was entered in one
of the classes of the Art Institute,
and then the family, absorbed In its
own more important affairs, at once
proceeded to forget ail about It. No-'
body ever thought to inquire about her
work except Mr. Winters, to whom It.
occurred once in awhile in a vague,
fashion.
•‘‘And how are the ‘queer cows,'
daughter? he would ask, pinching her
soft, round cheek.
“Oh, they’re just as bad as ever,”
Dorothy would say with an answering
smile. “They pop out on the casts
and still life exactly as they did
on the manuscript.” She was a brave
little sou], and if she felt hurt by
this indulgent neglect she kept it to
herself.
When she had been in the Art Insti
tute for about a year without haviftg
ever seemed to accomplish anything
to attract attention in the least, Mr
Winters began to talk very mucn
about a new artist who had of late
been sending in drawings as illustra
tions of current events. They were
humorous in character, and a good
many of them appeared in his paper.
Everyone said they were remarkably
clever. Indeed quite superior to any
furnished by the staff artists. The fam
ily all enjoyed the pictures greatly,
and they were the subject of much
favorable comment after every issue
of Mr. Winter’s paper.
“I believe,” he himself said one day,
“that this Henry Page Esmond has
the making of a great artist in him.
Those sketches of his are just bub
bling over with fun, and his wit is
keen and delicate. I believe his art
will Had expression fa something
higher than caricature, top.”

her father. “I'm go'ng to invite him
to dinner seme d.y—Ire never met
him myself yet—and then you can
show him some of those ‘queer cows'
you used to draw.”
The idea of inflicting these crudities
upon the artistic vision of this rising
man was excruciatingly funny, and
the family laugh'd loud and long, Dor- !
othy most heartily of all.
And so it was agreed that Mr. j
Henry Page Esmond should be invited j
the coming week Wednesday for din- |
ner. Mr. Winter wrote him an invita- j
tion to meet him at the office on that
date, in response to which the young
man—everyone seemed to take it for
granted that he was your.g—sent a
very polite note of acceptance.
The day’s business was over, and j
Mr. Winters sat in his office awaiting
the arrival of the young artist. He
was just saying to himself that Mr.
Esmond was going to be late when
the office boy brought in a card bear
ing, in the familiar handwriting of
that gentleman, his name.
“Show him in at once,” said Mr.
Winters in his most abrupt and edito- ’!
rial tones.
When he heard footsteps in the out
er room he arose to his feet and made 1
haste to arrange his features in their 1
most cordial and engaging expression.
The door flew open in a theatrical (
manner under the hand of the office !
boy, who announced, in a somewhat |
muffled tone: “Mr. Esmond," and in
walked—Dorothy!
I*Tr. Winter’s countenance was in
deed a study to gaze upon. He look
ed at his daughter with eyes as round

as moons and opened his mouth sev
eral times without making a sound.
In short, he was completely bewilder
ed until Dorothy, her sweet face all
flushed and quivering, half laughing,
half sobbing, rushed into his arms, ex
claiming: ' t
“Oh, papa, dear, don’t you under
stand? I am Mr. Henry Page Es
mond!”
When her father had got her home
at last, and they had managed to ex
plain matters to the assembled com
pany, the commotion which arose was
wonderful i to experience. Dolly was
laughed over, cried over and passed
around to be kissed until she was
quite breathless, while the parlor fair
ly bristled with exclamations. Clar
ence whirled her around and around
in a wild dance, and her mother could !
not stop asking questions. Lucia look- !
ed at her rather reproachfully as, she ;
slyly tucked her book out of sight;
but Judge Whitman made her a most
courtly and ceremonious bow, say
ing: “I congratulate you, my dear."
At last the heroine of this ovation
escaped to her room to adjust her hair
and gown, which had become sadly
rumpled with embraces, leaving her
friends to chatter and exclaim, and
talk at the top of their voices all
together. It was the proudest moment
of her life. Maturer years brought
other triumphs, but never one so glo
rious as this.
And thus it happened that Dorothy,
while she by no means ceased to be
domestic, did become an artist, and
carved out for herself a career which
had Its beginning in the “queer cows. ’

eight fares. He touched the conductor
on the shoulder, a green man from

"You are shy one fare. There are
nine people on the car and only eight
fares collected.”
“By gosh,” said the conductor,
“that’s right,” and hastily grabbing the

ing at the passengers ordered one cf
them to “git off.”—Columbus Despatch.

“The late Admiral Walker,” said a
naval officer in Washington, “believed
heartily in marriage for sailors. He pl
ways urged sailors to wed. Nautical
bachelors were held up to scorn by
him.
“Strolling with him in New York
one day we met a young ship-broker.
Admiral Walker hailed the young man
delightedly. He clapped him on the
back, wrung his hand and cried:
“ ‘Congratulations on your marriage,
my young friend. No more sewing on
of buttons now, eh?’
“‘No, indeed,’ said the ship-brdker
sharply. 'I wear a belt now. It keeps
me so busy raising money to pay my
wife’s bills that I have no time to
sew on buttons.’ ”
