Man la "woman' executor, not her ex
ecutioner, a come would bare us believe
at least, be was never Intended by na
ture to be.
When all la aald and dono for and
agalnat woman's suffrage; when women
all women have the ballot, as they ul
timately will; when there are no more
"thou ahalt nota" to hinder her progress
toward things political, aa none now in
things educational; when there are no
more antis, tnale or female, to limit for
her sphere of action, then ahe will grad
ually realise that man, in the achema of
thlnga, ia made to execute the will of the
woman, and this, too, la matters polit
ical aa well as in matters sentimental.
In the realm of sentiment man baa al
ways found hla greatest freedom and de
light In the doing of the will of the
woman he loved, of serving, his lady.
And were ahe not ignorant in matters of
government, did ahe Know what ahe
wanted done, and would make known
her political convictions, he would hasten,
in this aa In other waya, either as pri
vate individual or public official, to exe
cute her will.
But since it ia only by doing, and not
simply by observing, that one really un
derstands or knows a thing, it is neces
sary that woman not only have access to
the ballot, but that she use it.
In the doing of this she will naturally
.acquaint herself with civics and govern
ment in general. She will thus become
fit adviser and counsellor with the men
- of her acquaintance in family life. It
la In this realm that she will ultimately
exercise her greatest . political power.
Though privileged to cast her ballot for
soy man or measure that appeals to her
as making for tho good of the community.
though privileged at times to serve in
public office, yet far and away above
the direct influence of her own voice
through the ballot box. or as public ser
vant, will be the voice of w6man In
counsel within ber own home.
Woman, above aill, is the maker of
public sentiment; and. as we well know.
it Is puMlo sentiment that makes all laws
of any avail, even though written large
on the statute books of a state.
When the sons of a family know that
the mother is quite as well acquainted
has taken pains to Inform hsrself-of mat
ters of civics as ths father,1 her advice
and influence upon the eve of n election
will be received with far mors attention
and' respect than heretofore. "It's only
mother who thinks so will find no place
In the young man's mind. ...
It mar be argued that since, It is moral
integrity that is needed In government
rather than mors definite knowledge.
mothers and women in general can
mould ths acts of men to moral issues,
while they themselves hare ntf. political
privileges or knowledge. But It la easy
to see that so Ions; aa women's intuitions
and, emotions are underrated by men.

Inferior, man will fancy himself ths ar
biter of the world's destiny, and that
everything outside his little borne do
main will be considered by him, and ths
woman as well, as his kingdom alone.
It is not true that this is simply "a
man-mads world" Indeed, it could not
be. Even though man has mad ths

makes or unmakes the man at her will.
either as slater, sweetheart, wife, or
most of all as mother.
Woman baa played her part and a

such as It la, and it is tutilo for her to
say that she has had Uder no part In

It is but fitting, then, that woman
should admit her share of ill, as well as
of good, in a world that Is in the making,
sharing with the man ths shams ss well
as the glory of things already attained.
By virtus of her motherhood ths
woman has always been and must ever

Sir Charles Bell many years ago- wrou 1
famous book on the wonders of tl-.e
human hand. He regarded the hand aa
evincing design In creation. The evolu
tionist considers that trf hand proves
the theory of the genetic relationship of
man to the lower animals, or of his de
scent from some ancestor common to
him and to apes, monkeys and other crea
tures more or less resembling 1 his In
physical characteristics. The chiro so
phist, palmist or hand reader thinks that
th hand is a register of the character
and destiny of ita owner.
In fact, the hand Is, like the eye, but
In a very different' way, a kind of "win
dow of the soul." One does not need to
be a fortune teller In-order to read what
tho hand records of the occupation, the
temperament, the tastes, and, lnferentl-
ally, the fortunes of its possessor. Care
ful study shows the e:Vtence of types of
handi, such aa the "artist's hand." .the
"musician's hand," the "Inventor's band,"
and many temperamental varieties from
those showing brutal and coarse In
stincts to thoao that denote the posses
sion of high mental powers and spiritual
tendencies.
These things show themselves becanse
ths hand is emphatically ths Instrument
of ths mind, its tool and Implement, by
means of which the brain not only turns
thoughts into .deeds, jiving them physi
cal expression, but also fabricates addi
tional Instruments of the mind's own fat-
ventlon. Ths hand Is the first and most
perfect of machines, and at ths earns
time It Is the maker of other machines.
If the hand had Apt been developed,
step by step,' along- with , ths brain, man
could never have brought his ..mental
superiority , Into- ff active play, (or ths
subjugation of ths material world; - Ths

Soap should be used very sparingly,
