REGARDING MEN AND WOMEN
According to a Woman Writer Men
Are Loyal and “Easy to Get
Along With.”
Various apt, incisive comments made
by Gail Hamilton almost half a century
(•ago on “Men and Women” are in most
| respects equally full of force to-day,
with all the vaunted progress woman
i has made, says the New York Tribune.
“Men are strong; they do things, and
don’t mind it,” admits this vigorous
woman writer. “They can open doors
in the dampest weather. They can un
strap trunks without breaking a blood
I vessel, turn keys in a moment which
women have lost their tempers and
lamed their fingers over for half an
hour; look down precipices and not be
dizzy. . . . You may strike them
with all your might on the chest, and it
doesn’t hurt them in the least (I mean
It you are a woman.) They never grow
nervous and cry. They go upstairs
three at a time. They put one hand
on a four-rail fence and leap it without
touching. In short, they do everything
easily which women try to do and can
not.
“Moreover,” continues this commen
tator, “men are so ‘easy to get along
with.’ They are conveniently blind and
benevolent. Women criticise you, not
unjustly, perhaps, but relentlessly.
They judge you in detail, men only in
the whole. If your dress is neat, well
fitting and well toned, men will not no
tice it, except a few man-milliners and
a few others who ought to be. If you
will only sit still, hold up your head
and speak when you are spoken to, you
can be very comfortable. I do not mean |
that men cannot and do not appreciate
female brilliancy, but if your are a good
listener and in the right receptive mood
you can spend an hour very pleasantly
without it.
“But a woman finds out in the first
three minutes that the fringe on your
dress is not a match. In four she has
discovered that the silk of your sleeves
is frayed at the edge. In five that the
binding of the heel of your boot is j
worn out. By the sixth she has satis- ;
factorily ascertained what she suspected j
the first moment she ‘set eyes on you,’ i
that you trimmed your bonnet your- j
self. The seventh assures her that your '
collar is only ‘imitation;’ and when you j
part, at the end of ten minutes, she has j
calculated with tolerable accuracy the ;
cost of your dress, has leveled her men- \
tal glasses at all your innocent little
subterfuges and knows to a dead cer- 1
tainty your past history, present cir- j
cumstances and future prospects. Well, (
what harm if she does? None in par- j
ticular. It is only being stretched on
the rack a little while. You have norea- ,
son to be ashamed. Your boots are only j
beginning to be shabby, and we all know I
the transitory nature of galloon. Your j
fringe is too dark, but you ransacked
the city and did your best, ‘angels could
do no more.’ You trimmed your bonnet
yourself and saved two dollars, which
was just what you intended to do. Your j
lace is not real, according to the cant of |
tlio eKrtnbflonore V\nf It Ic roe 1_raol 1
cotton, real linen, real silk, or what-!
ever the material may be, and you
never pretended it was Honiton or
point. ...
“But if men, in their strength and
courage and independence, are enviable,
men in their gentleness are irresistible,”
concluded the writer. “You expect gen
tleness in women. It Is their attribute
and characteristic. You do not admire
its presence so much as you deplore or
condemn its absence. But manly ten
derness has a peculiar charm . . .
and you meet it everywhere—in the
house and by the wayside in
city and country, under broad
cloth and homespun. You may
travel from one end of the country to
the other, and meet not only civility,
but the most cordial and considerate
kindness. You may be as ugly as it is
possible for virtue to be, and tired and
travel-stained and stupid, and your
neighbor of a day will show you all the
little attentions you could claim from a
father or brother or husband. . . .
Women would better improve the
rights they have before going mad after
others they know not of. If men will be
so good as to do the law making, and
stock jobbing, and bribing, and quarrel
ing and stump speaking, I shall be great
ly obliged to them. . . . Am I en
thusiastic over this involuntary out
gushing of the stream of kindness which
flows so continually from men to us
ward? I have a right to be. A nation
of men loyal, not to grace, beauty, mag
nificence, but to womanhood, to the
highest impulses of human nature, to the
love element of the universe, is a thing
to be enthusiastic about.”
The Picture Hat.
“I witnessed an amusing incident at
one of the local theaters the other
evening,” remarked the theater-goer.
"A woman, wearing a large picture
hat, was seated directly in front of an
elderly man, who was straining his
neck in an endeavor to see what was
happening on the stage, and, of course,
it was only possible for him to see but
one-third of the performance.
“The second act had begun, and I
could plainly see that his anger was
increasing. At last, when he could
stand it no longer, he lightly tapped
the woman on the shoulder, and, in as
gentle tone as he possibly could mus
ter, said:
“ ‘Madam, pardon me, but I paid two
dollars for this seat,' and your hat—’ j
“ ‘My hat cost $25, sir-r-r! ’ came the
haughty reply.
“The conversation was at an end.”

! FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
I Flames in Room of Dumb and* Par
alyzed Man So Scare Him
That He Begins to Talk.
_
Thomas Herring, a dumb and par
alyzed old man living with his son-in
law, E. Moss, in London, was so over
come with fright when a fire broke out
in his bedroom recently that he sud
denly began to speak.
Herring, who is 71 years old, was a
robust man, and up to a short time ago
was enjoying good health, even work
ing at a small blacksmith’s forge. One
day he suffered a stroke of paralysis,
jvhlch also left him speechless.
The other evening two men rushed
in shouting that one of the upper
rooms was on fire. Running up stairs
to the chamber of his father-in-law
Moss saw that the window curtains
were ablaze and the woodwork was
alight. The wind had blown open the
window and this had knocked over a
latap, causing the fire
The paralyzed man lay on the bed
helpless, unable to stir hand or foot
or raise a cry of alarm. The agonized
look on his face showed, however, that
he realized the terrible nature of his
position. The flames were smothered
before they had made much progress,
and the patient escaped unhurt.
Shortly after the family were sur
prised to hear the voice of the par
alyzed father. He was able to speak
distinctly a few words and his speech
was coherent. The next days his pow
ers of speech were still further restored
and he regained the complete use of his
voice and was able easily to converse
with the family.
The restoration of the lost faculty
was evidently the outcome of the shock
which his system experienced on the
outbreak of the fire.
Although the paralysis of the limbs
remains, Mr. Herring’s health has im
proved so much that he has been re
moved from the house to a hospital,
where it is the opinion that he may
live a long time.
EXTOLS MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or
dained by God and We Will
Always Have It.
The cornerstone of a monument to
be erected in Salem 'Fields cemetery,
Cypress Hills, L. I., in honor of Jews
who lost their lives in defense of the
union was laid recently. Nathan Straus,
chairman of the auxiliary committee of
the Hebrew Union Veteran association,
presided. In the course of his remarks
Mr. Straus referred to “A time when
war will be reckoned a survival of bar
barism.” This brought a protest from
Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, retired,
who lost a leg at Gettysburg.
“Although we are assembled in a
cemetery,” said Gen. Sickles, “this is
not a funeral occasion. No death is
more glorious than death for one’s
country. I know many think that wars
are dreadful, but we have had our
wars since the world began, and we
shall always have wars. In the provi
dence of God war was ordained, and
the human race will always fight for
what it loves. This nation was found
ed through war. Would George III.
have agreed to arbitration to let us
found an independent government? No.
We have liberty because our fathers
fought seven years for independence,
and we will always have to fight to
maintain our freedom.
“I hope the time will never come
when we shall cease to be a martial
people, or be unwilling to take up ai ms
in defense of our country. In the day
we are unwilling to fight for our lib
erties we shall surely lose the respect
of the world.”
HORSE FALLS IN CISTERN.
Then Battles with a Water Moccasin
for Life—Rescued by
Firemen.
A horse belonging to William Scales,
of Kansas City. Kan., fell in an unused
cistern the other day. The animal was
almost submerged, nothing but his head
and neck remaining above the water
When the hose company from fire head
quarters arrived a large water moccasin
about five feet long had wrapped itself
about the horse's neck and had bitten
the animal several times.
The snake was an ugly looking reptile,
and for a few moments the firemen hesi
tated about going down in the well. Vol
unteers were called for, and some of the
men. more venturesome than the rest,
climbed down on a ladder and with a
large stick killed the snake. The horse
was then lifted from the cistern and a
veterinary surgeon applied antidotes
for the snake’s bite. Although the horse
suffered considerably from the com
bined effects of the fall and the snake
bites, it will recover.
Unearths Petrified Dinosaur.
W. H. Utterbeck, representing the
Carnegie museum at Pittsburg, Pa., has
in his possession portions of a petrified
dinosaur, called the triceratops, which
were exhumed on Hell creek, in Dawson
county, Montana. The load weighed
2,500 pounds. The remaining portions
will weigh about the same, and it will
take until fall to excavate them.
Chickens Find Lost Diamond.
A diamond ring valued at $150, which
was lost by Miss Rebecca Rennough at
the home of Wright Griffen, in Great
Barrington, Mass., 14 years ago, was
unearthed by chickens vigorously
scratching in the soil the other day. The
jewel was found by Frederick Burg
hardt, wTho has notified Miss Rennough.
The ring is in perfect condition.
Not Very Popular.
The Chicago Tribune remarks that
the Brooklyn man who lived on grass
for six months seems to have succeeded
in reducing a meat diet to its first princi
ple*.
