Onco upon a time, Elizabeth Fry,
mother ol nine, w sarlng her Quaker
Ktay garb, stood In the presence of the
Kins of France. '
Mrs. Fry had
Just visited a
pilNon that was
being built In
"Versailles. Said
Mrs. Kry to the
King, "Vour Ma
jesty, thee lmiHt
build no dark
cells:-'
And the King ex

Mrs. Viy replied,
"Hecauso thee and
thy children shall
upy them."
Thouo who know
Trench history re-
Ilzo low
sternly
the
true was
prophecy.
Emerson says
that everything we do In life we do for
ourselves. Thera Is a natural law which
decrees that to harm another Is to harm
ourticlve?. He who digs a pit to entrap
his neighbor Is very apt to fall Into the
pit himself. The man who carries a
revolver in O'der to protect himself Is
In much more danger of being shot by
his weapon .than arc. any of his alleged
enemies..
"Remember the Maine!" We do. Also
we remember the Camperdown, which In
naval exerclBO wag rammed by a sister
hip and sent to the bottom, carrying IO)
men with her. caught like rats In a tmp.
Just the other day the French dread
nought IJberte was sent to the bottom
through a . serifs of rxploslcna In her
magazines, and over CJ) sailor were
killed.
Guns burst, niacazlnrs explcdc, boilers
Ko wrong. Fire and sudden deaths follow.
And 1hrSA urn pnmn of tjin thing's that
we pay for "preparedness." ,
The series of terrible accidents that have
curred on American warships In the last
twenty-five years would fill a column. An
endeavor to get such a list from the War
department or the Navy department In
Washington failed naturally.
Governments no longer exl.st for the
purpose of robbery, exploitation and an
nexation. It Is simple a matter of busi
ness, and so Intimately are the affiirs
of all nations connected that well has It
been said that If Germany should In
vade Great Britain and loot the Hunk of
England It would break every bank In
IJerlln.
This war spirit Is fostered by the men
who thrive through the manufacture of
warships and the sale of war supplier,
and also through the fact that Vo are
constantly educating men In the, business
of war, and for the most part these men
are Inefficient in productive work.
If the eight great political powers that
now control the world would get together
on a business basis and eliminate this
unnecessary wasto and risk of terrible
accidents that follow through being pre
pared for murder, the men who bring
about the betterment would rank In his
tory with the saviors of the world. Some
day It surely will be done. Why not now?

Dr. Charles A. Kuton said In tha course
of an after dinner speech In Cleveland:
"Laziness Is responsible for too much of
the misery 'wo sea about us. It Is all
very well to blanio alcohol for this mis

but to what heights might we not all
have cllimbe'i but for our lazlnoss?"
He paused arid smiled.
"We aro too much liko the supernu

that any cfrort has ever been made to
mark tho graves of the women who rode
out from civilisation in a mover's wagon
nd died of privation and suffering on
the way.
The number of these graves on the
plains Is legion, and In the early days
they marked a trail conneotlng the middle
west with the Pacific, coast, telling a
ghastly story of what woman had done
In the coiuiuest of the desert.
The spectacular cry of race suicide,
sent up by men who don't bear the
babies, was unknown' In those clays,
and every mover's wagon carried babies,
and when a destination was reached and
a home was dug, the babies kept coming
and the women Who had survived thi
Journey Worked beside their husbands lit
field and forest while bearing them.
The demand on their love and courage
often proved too great for -even the
superhumau strength of a mother, and
statistics show that nine pioneers out
of ten had two or three wives and many
had four or five.
With the fruits of hor labor left for
future' generations of women' to garner,
those who had borne the brunt of the
battle passed away to a woman's heaven
of rest, and. when their descendants canio
forward In California the other day tu
ask for the fruit from tho trees' their
mothers had planted the men dared to
object. Ungrateful man forgot the part
woman had played in putting California,
on the map and talsed a howl of protest
that was echoed in the hen its of ungrate
ful men throughout the nation. The
women Bsked the right to have a hand
In tho governing of tho state their
mothers hud died to make, and the men
who had rUden from the cast to the
west In a mover's wagon on some
woman's lap,, or who had made the
Journey later In a train that carried them
over the graves of the women who had
helped to make that railroad possible,
dared .to. declare that women were not
fit to vote!
H would have been to the eternal dis
grace of the state that owes more to
women than any other state In the union
if they had been In the majority, lt
though their protests sounded like a ma
jority their votes weru nut, and tax
women won.

The Fable of the Wise Dame
Once upon a time there was a large,
tall, athletic maiden who had the bene
fit of a college education and otherwise
butted into the highbrow class. The
embalmed tonucM were meat to her. and
when It came tj ciolntf problems in
higher mathematics fcho was a wonder.
No. the maiden blew in all of her
dough at the education mill, and so
wlun she gut her onto little blue rib

either marry a meal ticket or l.-o hustle
out and chase down the wherewithal.
I'nfortunately neither her hapo nor
her phix eotllled her to a pi Ize in a
'auty show. jnd in cunsenuence of this
there was no mad H.TuliiMu anoni; the
Johnnies for tha privilege of paying her
board bill and supplying her with a
shopping ticket.
Perceiving that the i'S destined to be
ono of the bens who are doomed to

maiden went aside and thus communed
With herself.
