nest buildere, the storers of food and
tho workers in clay, like the mud wasp
and termites. I Man set out to fight and
outwit; woman to conserve and elabo
rate; man to explore and wander, worn
an to settle down and congregate; man
becoming dispersive, centrifugal; woman
unifying and centripetal; man develop
ing the militant spirit, woman the in
dustrial spirit; for as has been said,
woman lighted the first fire and upon
the stones of the rude hearth was laid
the foundation of industrialism, tho be
ginning of the permanent civilization
we enjoy today. She was the founder
of society, the primitivo social unit, and
with her child and the line of her fe
male ancestry ehe formed theonly stable
element in society.
To attach man to the group was
another matter and to waken a sense of
paternity within him was the struggle
of the ages. Long before this was ac
complished women had formed a tribal
family and racial unity, which, in its
first rude form, embodied the idea of
government, but which is significant to
us, as revealing the germ of social unity.
If you would learn of all the activities
and occupations through which she con
tributed so much to the general mode
of happiness read if you have not al
ready the latest word upon the subject
in Prof. Mason's "Woman's Place in
Primitive Culture." Its chapters re
veal woman in a manifold and difficult
role, as food bearer, weaver, skin dresser,
potter, the Beast of Burden, the Jack of
all trades, the artist, the linguist, the
founder of society, the patron of re
ligion. In these opening scenes of the
drama of civilization she moves a cen
tral and commanding tigure.tbe warning
spirit in the affairs of life, her virtues
and skill reflected from the heavens by
trie deities who personate them.
Only in the arts of war is she un
skilled, only amid scenes of murder is
her presence wanting for, when its dis
cordant notes are heard, her voice is
silent, her bands grown gradually skill
ful in the making and fashioning of im
plements of peaceful industry, never
made a gun, or a murderous weapon.
From all these we are told she is ex
cluded, save when now and then a few
poor girls earn a pittance filling cart
ridges, save, as in the days of Tacitus,
women carry food and cheer to their
husbands on battle fields, save that the
good Bisters of the Red cross bind up
the wounds and minister to the wants
of the unfortunate victims.
So we see that the same motive power
that prompted woman to strive for de
velopment in a material way, is the
motive that fills the ages with her
patient toil that a home might be
created, that impelled her to break with
feeble but willing hands the locked
doors of Nature's store bouse that life
might be eustained, the motive that
worked outward in a spirit directly in
contrast with the warlike spirit of the
age, that resisted it not but ever came,
is the same motive that today reaches
out in every organized effort to a higher
livmg, a broader intellectua.ity, a better
order, a purer social structure, a truer
fellowship, a larger unity. Militancy
and Industualism in the old relations
to civilization have disappeared.
All the enterprises of women embody
a hope of the regeneration of the world.
They are, in short, the forms by which
the spiritual interests of life are trying
o get a hearing. If I were asked which
of these movements is by its purpose
and construction best fitted to convey to
society the fullest expression of the
spiritual interest of life I would un
hesitatingly answer. The woman's club
the department plan.
idea or dogma but a oneness in a diver
sity as wide as the universe. This is an
ideal worth working for even if we can
not obtain it. Organization was in tho
air of tho century; 1 felt a passionate
desire for it as a girl. It seemed to mo
that the isolation of women, a ad their
egnorance of each other deprived them
of possiblittes of strengtb.narrowed their
lives, and shut them in their four walls,
self bound in an unconscious prison.
That was my inspiration to organized
work and tho universal response has
shown that the time had como when the
moral influence of woman could be sot
free to work bleeBing for the whole
human race. Let no woman ask if Fed
eration will do me goo-'.orhelp my club,

is a strength to all women and a pro

THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.
The old newspaper saying, "now is the
time to subscribe," was never more true
than at present. The times are so full
of incident, so many important national
and state affa'rs are shaping themselves
for a change, that no one can afford to
be without a metropolitan daily or
weekly. The St. Louis Republic, the
greatest democratic newspaper, is mak
ing a special offer of its daily and Sun
day paper for three months at 81.50. It
is 86 a year by mail. TheTwice-a-Week
Republic is sent two times a week
104 papers for only 81 a year. In
addition to all tho political news, it
prints every day a spread of general
news and features not equalled by any
other paper.
