I said in my Ia.it article that the reason I'fectly sweet, ami
the average hui-bund refused to make his the thought
am- ixrsonal allowance of money.
ah In hand that she might do Willi It
as she plrused, but expected her tu per
form all tliB multl-
iudloua duties of
wife, and mother
and housekeeper fur
her board and
tlothef, was the
woman's fault. '
It wu because,
the sonun herself
undervalue her ser
vices, and had so
little pride. In wo
man's great essen
tial work In th
world "that she
didn't demand any
thing for her labor,
but was humbly
gateful to get what
she could, and to
first earn her
waKea and then
wheedle them out

of her lord and
mater. This Is why men have taken
the lalwr of the , domstle woman
without so row n as even a thank you.
More, they even have the colossal nerve
to swell out their chesu and ne about
bragging self-rlghteously about "support
ing" the women who work eighteen hours
l day like slaves to make them comfort
able. They never dream that these wo
men's work Is really worth a pay en
velope on Saturday night until snme
poor, overdriven drugs dies, and Mr. Man
ttnda out that It takes sbout three
rourths of what he earns to pay the
cooks and chambermaids and nurses and
seamstresses to do the work that she did.
The real reason that widowers are al
ways In auch a hurry to get married
ngain Is because It Is so much cheaper
to support a wife than It is to pay a
woman for working for them.
And wives are the only people on earth
Who work for their board and clothes.
But, slas and alsck. woman's lack of
pride tn her work does not end with the
performance of domestic duties. It ex
tends to every variety of work eicept
the three professions about which linger
a halo of bogus romance. If a woman
Is on Ihe stage, no matter how poor an
actress she Is; If she Is an arttt. no mat
ter how weird the pictures she paints; If
she writes, no matter what dilvel she
icrlbhlrs, she Is proud of her work. Oth
erwlxe fhe Is ahamed of it. and apolo
siies for it, end keeps It concealed as
far as she can.
And In that luck of prlile In her work
Is the whole secret of why she so sel
dom succeeds, and so often falls. Hhe
dorsn t lack the ability, she doefn't la k
Intelligence, she doesn't lack industry,
tihe simply la' ks the punch that we put
behind anything that we are proud of
and rlory In doing. She lacks the kind
of Inspiration that comes about a thing
of which we think every minute we are
awake, and dream every minute we are
asleep, and which we hor other lo
ple to death talking about because we
are so Interested In it that we Imagine
It the moaf thrilling subject on earth to
ever body.
It you sit down on the tiain by a
prosperous looking man before ou"ve
gone twenty-five miles he will tell you
that he is the leading banker or mer
chant in Suueedunk. or that he travels
for the biggest wholesale grocery In the
country, and that his sales last year
broke the record for his house. But if
you should sit down by a smartly
dressed woman who Is a milliner or
dressmaker you might travel with her
from New York to San Francisco and

The little boy scout goes marching out
In a khaki suit or tan.
And a broad felt hat with a silver cjjrd.
Just like a grown-up man.
He feels so b!g as he swings aiong
In steps with the lln. of boys.
That he knows he never again will cry
Or play with his childish toys.
The little boy scout Is only elcht.
And bis eyes are blue and bright;

you laugh over It? And weep?
I want to repeat, with all the em
phasis 1 can, that the reason women
fall at their work Is because they are
ashamed of It. You can't put your
heart Into the doing of a thing unless
you are proud of It, and unless you
believe that It's the most Important
thing going, and the doing of It will
reflect glory on you.

Into Ihe port of New York a ship from
the Kmerahl Isle bearing among Its
human freight a young man of A who
was to exert great
Influence upon Ihe
foil ulna of this
continent.
The name of the
young man was
William Johnson, to
be known to fame
later on as ttlr Wil
liam Johnson, Ihe
king of diplomats,
natural horn sol
dier, statesman snd
master of men.
In his native
county of Mellh.
Ireland, wherein he was born, about 171S,
Johnson fell deeply In love, but when h
told his love to the black-haired, blue-
eyed beauty who had enthralled' his
hesrt he was rudely rejected. Ilroken-
hearted and miserable, he reached the
conclusion that Ufa was not worth liv
ing, and In the depths of his despair he
even contemplated suicide.
Hut Johnson was Intended for a nobler
1 nd than that of filling a suicide grave.
Ills unele, Mir Ieter Warren, owned large
tracts of land In Ihe Mohawk Valley, and,
thinking to cure Ins nephew of his love
sickness and at Ihe aims time lo make
him of some use In the world, he sent
hliu to look after his Wg estates In New
Vol It.
The plan worked like a charm. Th
young man had scarcely planted himself

he becamo at once a king. Ity the mag

Ills great common sense, Iron will ami
unfaltering Justice msde him the ,-Oret
Father" of thousands of eavtee over
whom no other mast, white or red, could
exert the least control.
The vslue of this wonderful power,
possessed by Johnson over the Indians
was seen throughout the struggle be
tween France and Kngland tor supremacy
on the continent. By keeping the power
ful six nations true to the Kngllsh
Johnson may be said 19 have saved the
day for Kngland. The strateglo Im
portance of the state of New York In
the French-Kngllsh wsr wu Immense,
and It was Johnson's diplomacy In pre
serving that Importance for the Kngllsh
that finally turned the scale. If the
terrible Iroquois confederacy had been
against the Kngllsh It Is more than
likely that the struggle would not have
ended as It did. In which event there
would have been no English rule In
America, and no United Sialea as wo
now know them.
Johnson died In ITU, In his' fifty-ninth
year, rich snd full of honors, hiving

Questions Since science has triturated
matter down to electrons, and as we can
pump them all out of a tube, and the
mind of man can conceive that but in
the tube there Is space, absolutely un
sffected did the creative mind create '
endless space? A. iielegllse. Ban Fraa
claco. Answer This iiueatlun cannot be an
swered, because the phase of mind mam
festlng as human this Is, functioning In
the human brain and Issuing forth In the
phase called thought cannot commence
to think of space. Nor can this mind tn
man think of Ihe mighty meaning of the
word create, yet this same mind Is well
aware that there la such a world, and
that It implies tha existence of a mind
able to create. For mind Is the only en '
My In existence that can create. That la,
to think a thought that has not been
thought before. For no object can appear
without a preceding thought ct it.
Q.-As neither molecules, atom nor
electrons are visible In the most powerful
microscope, what la the reason for dis
carding them for electrons, and how
under the circumstances can the else, and
