WEAVER CITT. Neb.. Bept. 23-To the
Editor of The Beo: Since reading the
article. "Woman1 Place In 'World." In The
Hee of August IS, written by Ella. Darling
McKilllp, I must aay I am surprised and
pained, too, to think a woman possessed
aa I suppose of that "common aenae" which
ehe speiks of ao emphatically, would take
euch a stand against her own sex, with
out Just cause. Judging from the publicity
or this article. I would, naturally under
stand that the same Is open to criticism
end with that understanding I would ask
permission to give a few of my own Ideas
on the subject.
Having been a wife and mother for the
p.ist twenty years, and a close observer
of human nature alt through the more
mature years of my llfo, I find myself
drawing conclusions very different from
those expressed by Ella Darling MeKIIllp.
She certainly must be speaking from the
standpoint of a professional msn's wife,
with no children, plenty of wealth and
nothing to do but to love and be loved,
when she says that "If married life la oi.e
elded, the woman must have the easy side
of It, for she Is protected, provided for,
humored, loved, etc.," or else she knows
nothing of the trials and hardships of the
average overtaxed farmer's wife. She
seems to think that the husband provides
the living and all the wife has to do is to
look attractive, be attractive, and try to
make everybody happy; that the home Is
her world, and If she Is true to her cause
she will not want more.
harshly. Lt woman stand up for woman
credit her with that which la due her and
I believe If she Is a "womanly woman" she

With traces of tears In his eyes, a clerk
In the employ of the Bait Lake postofAre
entered Postmaster Thomas' office, and In
manner that showed he was embarrassed
at being so visibly moved, handed a letter
to the bead of the department and asked:
"What shall I do with this, sir?"
The postmaster took the envelope and
gazed long and steadily at the address.
Turning to the clerk, as he pulled at his
gray mustache, he said:"I will take car

It was like any ordinary letter In every
respect save one. It was properly sealed
and stamped snd had been received from
the morning collection In the regular manner.
To My Mamma In Heaven," the address
rend.
The writing was evidently that of a little
child, and the painfully-traced letters
seemed to denote that the writer was some
title girl who had lost her mother and had
sought this means of conveying a message
of love to her.
It portrayed a beautiful, trusting faith In
heaven, and told more plainly than volumes
could of the heartaches and yearnings of
some little one, so lonesome "since mamma
died."
The letter, of course, rotild not be dellv
ered to anyone and could art be opened at
this office, to find the. name of the writer.
It will be forwarded to the dead letter
office, where it will be opened, and If the
name of the letter writer Is Inside, It will
be returned to her. Salt Lake Tribune.
What the Farmer's Wife Does.
1 would like Ella Darling McKilllp to
ask a number of farmers' wive how this
Is, and I believe that about 90 per cent
of them will tell ber that the proceeds
from the hennery and the dairy not only
buy the living and clothing for the family
and the old man' tobacco, too but as
sist largely In Improving and beautifying
the home, or add to their worldly pos
sessions. The farmer's wife cannot live
on love. She must be her own nurse,
cook, launderer, dressmaker, gardener,
milk maid, superintend the poultry yards,
etc., while many of them plant corn-one
of which I knew to plant corn with a hand
planter, with ber Infant strapped upon
her back, and not a savage either, but
a fanner's wife. Another cultivated corn
with a walking cultivator while her babe
of 1 year was shut In a room with a little
pup for a playfellow, till mamma could
come In at noon or night and reaoue htm,
while others will take their child on their
lap and cut stalks, harvest the wheat, or
rake hay, and when the corn crop ripens
they wilt turn out and help gather It, and
at the same time many of these women
will rear and care for a family of from
five to ten or mora children a a kind of
side Issue, and unless she neglect her
work and family, ha little or no time
for "artlstlo adornment, music, literature.
or to look attractive for her husband."
In many Instances such families live In
sod or small frame houses, consisting of
from on to three rooms, and have to re
sort to the cave for sleeping quarter for
a cart of the children.
Sure enough. If they had more of that
"common sense" probably they would not

all for the sake of husband and home,
heilltH am Hysaea'a Altar.
In starting out on the voyage of married
life, only think for a moment what the
wife ha to sacrifice for her huaUand's
sake. First, her name; then a happy home,
with father, mother, sisters and brother,
her young associates, parties and social
gatherings, etc., - and take up the burden
of life. Then, a time move on and she
assumes the many grave responsibilities,
mingled with joy and sorrow, should htr
husband be unkind or untrue to rer, which
I frequently the case, how can we say "a
woman ha the easy side of life and must
look attractive, be attractive, have wit
beauty, brains or agreeablllty, or she Is not
worthy of being loved and should feel
thankful If the husband tolerate her at
all."
I say, let her be ever so humble. Is she
not well worthy of all the love, respect
and comforts of life that man can bes'.ow
upon her? If she was good enough for
him to woo and wed, she Is most em
phatically good enough for him to love,
honor and protect.
nut, after all, If married women actually
do have the easy side of life, I must say I
pity the poor men and may the good Lord
Intercede for them. And right here let me
ay that appreciation I what a wife crave
and not adoration.
Ella Darling McKilllp further assert that
"a wife can make or mar any. man." I
wonder If It ever occurred to her that a
husband can make or mar a woman, to
gether with the happiness, of the entire
family, thereby rendering home a veritable
hell, and he does not necessarily have to
"come home drunk and beat his wife" to
accomplish this, either.
I would like her to visit these "millions
of happy homes" she speak of like a
mouse In the wall, and see If she finds them
as happy as they appear to be and If "the
woman Is to blame nine times out of ten."
I wish to ask. Is It not the unbounded duty
of the husband as well as the wife to try
In every conceivable way to make the home
what It should bet Unless there I co

"Save the choicest fruits for husband

to denounce patronising circuses and then

and leave his wife and children at home.
I have known a father to refuse his little
boy a ntckul to ride on a merry-go-round
and Ave minutes after step Into a grocery,
buy two cigars and hand one to a gentle

by. but his family was "a secondary con

General Toung's northern campaign was
one of the most vigorous of the Philippine
war. For, a whole week he cut himself
loose from any base of supplies and pushed
through a hostile country altor a fleeing
enemy. He subsisted on forsge only. For
one week the universal question through
out the Philippines was, "Where Is Young?"
When again he appeared it was In the
town of Vlgan, 200 miles north of the place
where he had dropped out of communica

I shall never forget his entrance Into that
town. A few days before It had teen

until a company of the Thirty-third United
States volunteers could relieve tbem next

Tlno attacked the town one night and
were only repulsed after a desperate fight,
in which eight Americans were killed and
many wounded. After that we considered
ourselves practically besieged, believing the
country about to be alive with Insurgents,
This was out situation when one day we
heard a heavy firing up the adjacent pass
that led into the mountains of the in
terior.
Several hours later a large, stout officer,
with white hair and mustache and a ruddy
but stern face, rode Into town with
squadron of cavalry behind him. It was
General Toung. He had just driven the
last of the Insurgents Into the mountains
This was the end of hi week' forced ride;

Toung's official guide and Interpreter at

the following story, which Illustrates the
general's thoroughly democratic! way:
"A report had come in late ona evening
by a native that some escaped Spanish
prisoners were In hiding In a small village
up the pass, the whereabouts of which only
I know oeflnltely, having spent a night
there as a member of the captured Glllmore
party. As the Spaniards were supposed
to have fresh information of the location
of the insurgent forces It was Important
that they should be brought In as soon as
possible. So I was sent out to bring them
In safely through the outposts.
"It took me two hours of hard riding
tnrougn a pelting rain and over a slush
covered road. to reach the village, but upon
arriving I lost no time In locating the
Bpanlsh officers, who were hiding in the
huts of friendly natives. All ware old com
ruues or mine in connnement. I soon
discovered that one of them, a colonel,
had an Important dispatch from Colonel
Hare, who had switched off into the
Interior after Tlno. Bo we set cut on the
return at once, slowly, a the escaped
officers were on foot.
"We reached Vlgan at about 1 o'clock in
the morning and I at once hurried the
Spanish colonel with the dispatch Into Gen
eral Young' quarters. He was still up,
working at his desk In his shirt sleeves,
Covered with mud, wet through, and al

Yoans's Chief Opponent a Boy.
Young1 chief opponent In northern Luion
was the boy general. Tlno, who. a year be
fore, had wrested the northern provinces
from the Spaniards. Toung professed a
great contempt for Tlno, which he probably
did not feel; and not Infrequently he would
make humorous remark about the Insur
gent leader. "If ever I get that kid. I ll
spank him," he was in the habit of saying.
On the other hand, Tlno did not fail to
ecur a little quiet amusement out of hi
pursuer.

Once established in Vlgan aa military

out to learn - the need of the natives,
and whenever It was consistent with his
policy of military conquest he made all
possible concessions to them. Americans
seeking interviews with the general fre
quently thought themselves much slighted
when told by the orderly:
"General can't see youj He's in con
ference with the presldentes."
Almost any native fuund ready entrance
to hi office certainly any native official
could ee him. Complaint were patiently
considered. Depredation by soldiers were
severely punished. Blclt or wounded Insur
gent prisoners were humanely treated and
cared for in the same hospital with Amer
icans. A native police force was estab
lished and armed at once, and entrusted
with th patrollng of the town. Natives
elected their own officials, and the elec
tions were carefully watched by Youns
himself or his adjutant to prevent In
justice. Nor did th Ilocanos betray the trust
which their American governor placed in
them. First they admired him for hl
sense of justice, and loved him for the
pains he took to better their condition.
Even the insurgent on the field admired
him. Perhaps they sometimes Imposed

WhenYou Buy Rubbers
You probably wait to buy rubbers
until it rains or looks like it; then you
go into the first shoe store and say
"Show me a pair of rubbers" if they stay
on ycur. feet, you pay, and wear 'em
away. , '
Until now that was the only thing
to do; all rubbers were alike; one pair
as good or as bad as another; no use
being particular about rubbers.
It's quite different now; Selz Royal
Blue Rubbers ai;e made for quality.
They're better-than-usual; so much bet
ter that you're very foolish if you take
anything else; the cost the same as the
usual. Ask for Selz Royal Blue; and if
your dealer doesn't sell 'em send to us.
