The Come-Outer
(Copyright, 1911,
by International
Servloe.)
The Mennonlie, tmnkerd, Bhaker,
Oneida, Communist, Mormon and Quaker
are all one people, varying only aooord
ing to environment. They are all come-outers.
lie: iui 11 lu plain
clothea, hard work,
religious thought, es-
and vanities of the
world, all for the
same reasons.
The tnonk of the
Middle Age waa the
same man, hla pecu
liarity being an ex
t r e m e asceticism
that caused him to
count sex a mistake
on the part of God.
And this lime ques
tion has been a
stumbling block for
ages to the type we
now have under the
Blasx. A man who
riT the aubjact of aex loo much atten
tion la very apt to have either bo wife at
all or else four or five.
The Shaker does not count women out,
because the founder of the sect waa a
woman, but he la a oeltbate and dependa
on Gentiles to populate the earth. The
Dunkard quotes St. Paul and marries be
cause he must, but regards romantic love
as a thing of which Deity la jealous and
also a bit ashamed.
But there is one thing among all these
quasl-ascetio sects that has ever been In
advance of the great mass of humanity
from which they are detached parts
they have given woman bar rights;
whereas the mass haa always prated that
the male had certain natural "lighta,"
and the woman only such rights as are
, granted her by the males. And the
reason of this wrong-headed attitude on
the part of the mob is plain, it rules by
force, whereas the seini-uscetlc sects de
cry force, using only moral suasion, fall
ing back on the Christ doctrine of non
resistance. This has given their women

ft
a chance to prove that they have Just
as able minds aa men, If not better.
That these nonreslstera are the salt of
the earth none who know them can deny.
It waa the residents of the monasteries
in the Middle Ages who kept learning
and art from dying oft the face of Eu
rope. They built such churches and per
formed such splendid work in art thut we
are hushetl Into silence before the dignity
of the ruins of Melrose, Dryburgh and
KurneFS.
There are no paupers among the Quak
ers, a "criminal class'' Is a thing no
Mennonlte understands, no Dunkard Is a
drunkard, the Oneida Communists were
ail well educated and in dollars passing
rich, while the Mormons have accumu
lated wealth at the rate of more than
11,100 a man per year, which Is more than
three times as good a record as can be
shown by New Vork or Pennsylvania.
Tobacco, btrong drink and opium alter
nately lull and excite, soothe and elevate,
but always destroy; yet they do not de
stroy our ascetic come-outer, .for he
knows them not. He does not deplete
himself by drugs, rivalry, strife or anger.
He believes In co-operation, not competi
tion. He works and prays; he keeps a
good digestion, an even pulse, a clear
conscience, and as man's true wants are
very few our subject grows rich and has
not only ample supplies for himself, but
is enabled to minister to others, lie Is
earth's good Samaritan, .
Come-outUm Is a protest against an
Idlo, vain, voluptuous and selfish life. It
Is the natural recoil from Insincerity,
vanity and gourmandism, which, growing
glaringly offensive, causes these certain
men and women to "come out" and stand
firm for plain living and high thinking.
And were it not for this divine principle
in humanity, that prompts Individuals to
separate themselves from humanity when
sensuality threatens to hold supreme
sway, the race would be snuffed out in
hopeless night. These people who come
out effect their mlsxion not by making
all men "come-outers," but by imper
ceptibly changing the complexion of the
mass. They are true and literal saviors
of mankind.
"Johnny Giant"
By JOB JEFTEKSON O'NEILL.
A more popular man than "Tommy Atkins."
Oil, we taka him from the bush league or the lot,
When be doesn't know a thing that he should do;
We teach Mm bow to field and how to swat
And how to grab an extra base or two.
No matter who or what he wag before,
What hie managers have thought about hie game
When a New York shirt he's fillln' ,
And he's bad McGraw's tough drlllln'
He's Johnny Johnny Giant just the same.

they are alwaya
tolns to make

b? Hare's a whoU
play .built on the
"LOOK pretty ev
ery minute o r
you'll lone his
love" Idea and It's
a succeaa, too.
Is It ponplble the
mn really don't
care a nail clipping
whthrr a woman
la good, or true, or
clever, or honeat,
or Interesting, or devoted, or anything
e! on earth or not lust so long aa
she's pretty T
The average girl spends over halt her
time, energy and nerve force trying to
look pretty, She spends every penny she
can beg, borrow or steelto put It mildly
-buying puffs and curls and rats, and
high heels, and powder and complerlon
lotions, and remedies for tan and freck-
Ioh, and things to put on her hair to
make It grow, and stuff to use on her
handM to make thorn white, and she ogles
herself In the glaaa and struts and poses
and "effects this" snd tries to "look
like that." till her afflicted family look
St each other and wonder where they are
going to get strength to stand her till
eha cornea to her senses.
The first year she's married shea
usually worse than ever. George likes
pink or Oorge hates blue, and George
enn't bear her In broad hats, or George
doesn't love her In a toque. But when
the first baby eomta she begins to show
slKns of returning reason, and by the
time aha aud George hava walked the
floor with Son and helped Daughter
through the measles and fought it all
out about whose "In-laws" are the hard-
t to stand, she usually thinks about
something and somebody besides hereelf
and her looks and then, end not until
then, Is she worth one-half the money
It takes tq keep her halr-dreeaer and
msnlcurer paid.
And now cornea this fool preaching the
doctrine that the thing for daughter to
do la to keep up the pose buelnese as
long as aha Uvea or George will stop
loving her right away, so there. Well,
what If he doeaT If George le such aa
mpty.lma4ed primitive thing ee that,
how could any woman of any spirit or
brains care whether he loves her or notf
Ilia love doesn't amount to much, any
how! He really doesn't care for ber at
all. All ha wants la a lay figure to hang
some pretty clothes on. He doesn't love
daughter at all. He lovea daughter's
clothea and daughter's pretty ribbons and
daitMhtrr's high heeled shoes. And Just
as daughter thlnka she has earned his
deathless devotion by going without
proper luncheons to buy a corset that
will make bar over into the "smart"
figure George le likely to meet some one
who looks a thousand times better than
she dared to hope to look what then?
The aert of man who levee hla wife
when she's dressed up and hates her
when she Is tired or 111 or In a fades
frock lun't the sort of man to run very
hard whan he sees a good-looking tempta
tion beaded right straight down the road
toward him.
I'd like to know-really would-wbat
the American man thlnka of all tbla "Be
beautiful or die" cult that Is turning halt
toe decent middle-aged mas In the
country Into painted Imltettona and mak
ing half the really beautiful women Into
silly, empty headed elmperlng dolls.
Do the men really demand this sort ef
thing T I ask, gentlemen, for Informa

Running an Engine
snmasBBSv
By HIOMAH TAPI'EK.
Distant ItelattoBa.
"Irish wtt la Inherent," asserted an
Omaha wholesaler. "Get as Irishman
talking; that's all.
Ona of our packers by the name of
O'Drlen eame to me about some goods
that were to be shipped out. tils face
seemed familiar, and after a little reOeo
tlon, I remembered that one of the offloe
boys wss an O'Brien also.
M 'Do you knew Barney O'Brien, one
of our boys berer I asked.
" 'Sure I do, eor,' was the reply. 'O'ltn
dlatlntly related to him. Oi was me
mother's first uholld; barney was th'
sixteenth.' "
Men In the mechanical sclencea are de
voting much thought these days to pre
venting leakage of power. Nearly every
piece of mechanism delivers for manu
facturing use only a small percentage of
the actual power generated. The greater
part of It eacapea, and yet it costs Just
as much to produce the power that ea
capea aa to produce that which la used
directly for the purpose of manufacture.
It has been shown that unnecessary
projections on the eldes of railway cars
destroy energy by presenting surfarcs
that resist the atmosphere when the train
la runnlim at high npecd. Car bulldera
aro removing them.
By studying the air resistancs of a large
flywheel thirty-horsepower additional en
ergy has been secured.
Only a small proportion of the best
energy ef a ton of eoal la secured; the
greater part escapee by the chimney.
And heat conservation le a very practical
question, to which men are devoting tho
most careful thought.
What Is true In the mechanical sciences
Is equally true In the science of life. We
are. all ef us, great wastera of power.
We neither think nor act directly, but
In a roundabout way that costs more In
effort than we get In return.
TVe should become more thoroughly
familiar with ourselves aa machines,
more capable of direct and Incisive action
Every man and woman In the engineer
of a physics) snd mental engine that Is
more delicate than any piece or ma
machinery ever made. It excels In the
work it can do, In endurance and In
efficiency; but not until the engineer
hack of the mind and body Qaa xtudled
tha nature of the inschlne, knows how to
direct It and stops leakage of power.
Taking the twenty-four tioura of the
day aa a unit, this physical and mental
engine of ours works comparatively little,
Setting aside hours for sleep, meals and
ralasatlon, thare is only a small balance
left. This small balance of time should
be made the most of.
Even knowing that power Is always
being wasted, the engineer would never
dream of treating the locomotive as we
treat our tar more powerful human me
chine.
If he la even a halfway decent engineer
he will do these things;
He will beep the machine scrupulously
clean.
He will look It over before the day'a
run begins to be sure that It Is In proper
shape end capable of Ita beat work.
He will keep the firebox tree, so that
combustion will be easy and most
efficient.
To generate steam he will use water,
and nothing else. Water does the busi
ness; other liquids do not.
When be starts on his run be knows
that bla Job la to keep on the track and
nuke lime. This does not apply to the
early morning hours alone, but to the
whole day. The last station, like the
first, must be made as per schedule.
All these things, snd many more aa
engineer does. That is why he Is called
en engineer.
But the moment we turn from the lo
comotive and Its engineer te Claude
Montgomery of the avenue, woat do we
find?
First, that Clauds has beau provided
with an engine so much more delicate
and murvtlloua then a railway locomo
tive that there Is no comparison. And
that la generally all you do find.
Does Claude attend vi upulously to bis
englnef
Not much further than banging bunting
on It in the morning. This gives tt a gey
appearance, eay, at a one-horsepower
gait.
But In that engine ef Claude's the
Creator has put an unlimited horse
power. Claude ehould hare bee a told that
when he was being educated. He snay
have regarded as letter-perfect when he
recited his lesson on the battle ef Aus
terllty, but that la not power, it is coal
to be stored en the tender. The trouble
with It la, however, that tt has been left
on the tender, with a lot more like tt,
and never shoveled late the firebox.
Claude's Ignorance ef hie engine ie net
hla fault altogether. He wee handicapped
at tha beginning by being loaded up with
Huff, called knowledge, that be does not
know how to convey Into energy. The
engine snd some sort of fuel are before,
him. but he really doea not know bow
to kindlo the one In order to make power,
for the other.
But. bad as his case it, he can still o
thla. He can say to himself:
I will ksep my body In as fine condl-
I will use some ef my mind to do my'
business well and directly, and the rest
of It to learn something elee.
I will never be ee unreeaonabte, erlth
either mind or body, as to make them
act tn a manner contrary to their pur
poses. This Is nnt much, but It is semathlr.g.
and. by doing It, Claude's one-horsepower
gait will run up to tea or so. be-,
cause he has stopped that one thing the
mechanical scientists are working on the
leakage ef power.
