anything can be done for some time toward
replacing the buildings which were de

the entire building appropriation for the

STCRIES TOLD BY GEN. DEWET
The Bfcerldaa of th Africa Tells
f ease Incidents ef the
War.
What be calls "the most wonderful of all
the escapes that God allowed me In the
whole course of the wsi" Is thus described
by General Dewet; "On the third evening
at sunset a Hottentot came to me. He said
that his 'baas. whose family lived about
twelve miles from the farm of Couimandant
Net, tad laid down his arms and that he
cm: Id not remain in the service of the wife
of such a bad 'baas.' He asked me If he
could not become one of my 'nchterrtjders.'
As he was still speaking to me Landdrost
Bos man, from Bothaville. came to pay me
a visit. 'Good.' I aald to the Hottentot. 'I
shall see you about this again.' For I
wished to cross-question him. I then went
Into the house with the landdroat and spent
a good deal of time In writing with him.
Late in the evening he went back to Botha
vlllo and I to bed exactly at 11 o'clock. I
had scarcely lain down when the Hottentot
came bark to my thoughts and I began to
grow uneasy. I got up and went to the
outhouse where my Kaffir slept. I woke
him up and asked him where the Hottentot
was. 'Oh. he Is gone. he replied, 'to go and
fetch bis things to go with the baas.' I at
once felt that there was something wrong
and went and called my men. I told them
to saddle up and went off with my staff to
the farm of Mr. Bchoeraan u the Vslseb
river, to the eaat of Bobtavllle. On the
following morning before daybreak a force
of 200 English stormed the farm of Com
mandant Nel. They had come to take m
prltoner."
At Potchesfstroom Dewet sat for a photo
graph, which afterward became well known
and In which the Boer leader holds a rifle
In his hands. He thus tells the history of
the weapon: "When the enemy passed
through Potrhefstroom on their way to Pre
toria they left a garrison behind them and
many burghers went there to give up their
arma, which forthwith were burned In a
heap. Wnen the garrison left the dorp the
burghers returned. Among them were some
who set to work to make butts for the rifles
that had been burnt. This rifle.' I wss told
by the man who showed It to me. Is the
200th that has been taken out of the burnt
heap and repaired.' This made such an Im
pression on me that I took It In my hands
and had my photograph taken wlti It."
In describing another of his escapes from
the British. General Dewet says: "I de
cided on climbing the Msgalles mountains
without a path or road. Near by there was
a Kaffir hut and I rode up to It. When the
Kaffir came out to me I pointed to the Ma
galles mountains and asked: 'Right before
us. can a man cross there? 'No. baas, you
cannot,' the Kaffir answered. 'Has a man
ever ridden across here?' 'Yea. baas.' re
plied the Kaffir, 'long ago.' 'Do baooons
walk across?' 'Yes, baboons do. but not a
man.' "Come on,' I said to my burghers.
'This is ou only way and where a baboon
can croes we can cross.' " After a terrible
climb, much of the time In full view of the
enemy below, the burghers escaped.

HENCE THE VAST OPENING FOR WOMEN
Prstren Toward . the ladastrlal
Eajaallty af twe Twa Bete la

Eejalpsaeat of Weaaea.
(Copyrliht. 13. by David Graham Phlliip )
Only ten years ago the women numbered
lees than one-fifth of all the wsge and
salary earners In th United Ststes. When
theee figures were published there ws a
great outcry of woadr and aUrm wonder
at the rhangd conditions, alarm lest those j
changed condltlous might be permanent
and the old-fashioned woman cf the fireside
and the stoves'.de and the cradleside might
be paaslng away. Today nearly one-third j
of all the women in the United States earn I
their own living outside their own homes,
and these Independent women constitute no
less than one-third of all the persons In the
United States engaged In gainful occupa-j
tiona.
It Is evident that the changed conditions
ars not passing but permanent; that the
"new woman" is the woman of the future.
Tet we still have the old order talked of. as
If It were not a departing order, and the
new order criticised ss If It were the cre
ation of a ew "freak" womn.
The theory still Is that man bears the
brunt of the battle for food, clothing and
shelter, while woman Is sheltered and Is
comparatively at her ease. This theory
never waa sound. From time lmmemortsl
among the masses of the people every
where the men and the women have worked
equally for the support of the family both
at home and away from home. But lat
terly, under the pressure of modern condi
tions which are forcing all Into the general
service of society, the women have been
drawn from the obscure toll of occupations
within and around the household, and also
Into the ranks of women toilers have gone
hundreds of thousands of women from the
classes which, until recently, did try to
keep their women at home. We may prea
rntly see practically all the capable mem
bers of our society self-supporting and the
home fundamentally reorganised to meet
the changed conditions.

Today the women vote In four states
and hold public office In all the states and
under the national government. There are
women policemen and firemen, women loco
motive engineers, women masons and
plasters and gunsmiths, women street car
drivers and conductors, women black
smiths and coopers and steel snd Iron work
ers, and even women sailors to take only
a few occupations which on the face would
seem to exclude women. In fact, there is
not in this country a single department
of skilled or unskilled labor, except only
soldier and man-o'-war'a man. which has
not Its women workers In swiftly Increas
ing numbers. In the professions there
are thousands of women doctors, lawyers,
authors, professors, musicians, artists,
decorators, journalists, public speakers,
and more than a hundred thousand women
teachers. In the trades there are thou
sands of women hotel and restaurant keep
ers. Insurance and real estate agents, book
keepers, clerks, merchants, officers and
corporations, saleswomen, stenographer,
telegraph and telephone . operators. Ia
manufactures the women operativea almost
equal the men in numbers. There' are
thousands on thousands of women' mill
and factory hands, and many thousands of
women ars In respoaaible positions In the
management of manufacturing corporations.
All these occupations, with the exception
of such occupations as nursing and teach
ing school and music, were once exclusively
In the hands of men.
The cause of the change is the same as
that which has revolutionised every part of
modern society the smaxing discoveries of
science, creating an enormous number ot
new occupations and radically changing the
method of all the old occupations, from
housekeeping to carrying on a national gov.
eminent. .
Reepaaslblllty- for the Ckmasje.
War was the department ot human en
deavor which not only excluded women
from ttaolt, but also kept her fast anchored
at home.' Until the second quarter of the
last century war was the chief thought,
tho chief pursuit of the human animal.
He was either just going to war or Just
coming home from war, or engaged In
war or preparing for an Imminent war.
Obviously, to long aa war occupied this
position In human affairs, woman sras In
evitably In the background, la the secondary
places, a household drudge or a plaything.
But war is no longer the principal busi
ness of the race, with peace tolerated as
a breathing spell now gad then. Peace
and ita arts are now the serious business
of civilisation, with war as a dreadful
nightmare. Civilisation has been forced
upon a peace basis by discovery and In
vention. It clamors for skilled hands, not
for brutal hands. Hence the vaat opening
for woman and the vaat Inrush of women.
This country was remote from other
great nations and, therefore, from the ever
present threat or actuality of war. It waa
also perhaps through Its freedom from war
and war alarms eagerest in selling upoa
and using the mighty Industrial machinery
which science gave to the race. Thus It
has come to pass that with ua the progress
toward the Industrial equality of the two
aexes haa been most rapid.
Where European societies had a very
complex organisation our society had from
the beginning simplicity aa Ita chief char
acteristic. We were really all tollers
until recently almost all tollers at occupa
tions close to manual labor. The women
and the men were, throughout, on that equal
basla which in Europe was, and to a great
extent is yet. found only among the peas
ant and the shop keeping classes. And
as the new era the era of steam and
electricty ueveloped with us. our women
and our men naturally remained aide by
side.
Why, Woaaea Were Backward.
Our government was founded in war.
Its founders assumed, from the history of
all other nations, that offense snd defense
were to he its main functions. That ex
plains the lagging ot the political rights ot
women behind their industrial and civil
rights or, rather, industrial and civil ne
cessities; for no right ever has been, or
probably ever will be. recognised until
It become a necessity. The development
with us of a class of women who were
housekeepers only and were, for the most
of the time, idle or halt Idle, la a develop
ment unnatural to the spirit of our demo
cratic republic
It waa due la the main to three causes.
First, the survival of the old world, old
era Ideas of womaa'a sphere," of the
coarsening effect of labor upoa her "finer
nature," of the ''aristocratic Savor" and
"high breeding" of usefulness and idleness.
Second, to the simpler tastes of even the
better educated classes among our an
cestors, and the comparative ease with
which the labor ot one Individual la the
family could provide money enough to sat
isfy those tastes- Third, to the very tardy
development of a class of domestic laborers
and providers to relieve woman of the
care of the household and the nursery,
when her talen's could he more profitably
employed ia other ocoupat loaa.
As a result of lacss three causes a class
of Idle women sprang up not only among
the rich and the well-to-do. but even among
the artisans, small farmers snd small shop
keepers. And this class rsme to be re
garded as typical and exemplary. In real
ity it Is neither. It ha no place In our
tradition of mothers and randmothers
who spun and made preserve, did their
own housework and were busy every wak
ing moment about matters which are now
largely attended to in factories and shops.
And it hss no place In our future. !f the
signs ot the times mesn trst they seem
to mean. Our society Is founded upon two
Ideas work and equal opportunity to all
to wcrk. It abhors an Idler as nature ab
hor a vacuum. And as the old-time oc
cupations of women are carried on In a
different way she must aud will find othef
occupations.
Emerson well said: "Every man Is as
laxy as he dares to be." He meant every
woman, also. The very powerful impulse
tbst Is acting upon th woman, bred to
ldlenesa and genteel Inenla, Is found in the
paaaion for Independence and the passion
for luxury. These two paaslons Impel
women to work that they may be free and
may have the luxuries and comforts which
must be earned. These two passlens Impel
men to refuse to burden themselves with
the dead weight of the support of Idle, In
competent women.
Mea Also DUalaelaai Woaaea.
Thus we have a social organisation which
Is In process of revolutionary change. The
women are rapidly going to work at occupa
tiona which have been transferred from
the domestic to the general sphere, and
at the occupations, new and old. which, It
was expected a few years ago, would be la
possession of the men only. The men, on
their part, are not, only working as for
merly, but also entering occupations once
followed exclusively by the women. Some
of the new employments of women bsve
already been enumerated. The new em
ployments ot men In this country Include
laundry work, cooking, general housework,
nursing, keeping boarding houses, teaching
primary and kindergarten pupils, dress
making, millinery and sewing.' The list Is
far shorter, and, from tbe old viewpoint
where tbe equal dignity of all honorable
labor was derived, seems fsr less dignified
than the women's list. The reason for this
is, of course, thst the men hsd small room
to expand their already multiform activities,
while the women had all the room In the
world.
Tbe underlying principle of this redis
tribution of activities Is the common sense
principle thst every unit in a society should
do tbe work at hand for which It Is best
fitted. This principle explains every esse.
Where we find a man dusting, scrubbing
and aewlng and doing laundry work It ia
because he could find nothing more re
munerative to do and could outbid the
women applying for that particular task.
Wherever we find a woman plastering or
keeping books, or driving a street car. or
managing a store or corporation. It is for
the same reason. And this modern prin
ciple wholly ignores sex and looks only at
the work to be done and the comparative
skill ot the male and female applicants
for It.
It Is not prophecy to say tbst, as more
and more millions of women enter the
Industrial fields, these readjustments and
redivisions, these absorptions of some occu
pations by women and of other occupations
by men will go on apace. We may not like
It, but we can no more stop It than w
can stop the physical and mental develop
ment of woman or the use of steam and
electricity. . ,
Fully to grasp what la even now In eight
as to the future, one must consider the
rapidity with which, women are educating
themselves. There ii evidence of this from
tbe . statistics ot college already one
woman graduate to every three men. But
that is not all. In higher education in any
proper sense -must be -included the thou
sands uf high schools.- There we find the
women outnumbering the men four and five
aad six to one. These, are most conserva
tive nrnnnrtlorta. Thia means thet In a
civilisation where education counta heavier j
and heavier as an Industrial factor the I
women are equipping . themselves better
than tbe men. And as our rivilixatton de
velops along Ita now clearly defined lines.
aa the Importance of coarse labor and
even skilled manual :aoor declines,
as the higher waes go ever more and
more to those who can minister to what
were once regarded as luxuries and ex
travagances, will not the women Inevitably
assume aa ever more Important position?
Will not the men be harder and harder put
to It to maintain their ground? They may
retain the most of the few originating and
directing positions, but how can they pre
vent the women from dividing with them
the positions where the intelligent execu
tion of plana and purposes formed by others
is all that la required? Doea not woman's
intelligent receptiveness of tdeaa peculiarly
fit her to excel In such work?
The great advantage the men have had
thua far la thla country haa been not tber
auperlor strength or akill or faithfulness
or Industry, but that woman has worked
merely as a temporary expedient. She has
tenacioualy assumed that she would pres
ently "quit work" and be supported by some
man. Thia dream haa been largely fanci
ful. The woman, married, has too often
found that she has not stopped working,
but haa undertaken a far more laborious
and ever grudgingly paid occupation. But
her Indulgence In this dream baa not only
made her wagea smaller who will not pay
more to a worker who expecta to go on
working than a worker who expecta pres
ently to quit and is meanwhile giving at
least half the energy to another occupa
tion. 'that of catcbini a husband? In
dulgence in this dream haa also prevented
woman from cuttlvatiag ambition wby

We have aa aatounding Increaae in the

to tbe family Income. We have more and
more families where the woman's earning
