The simplest way to stop them is to quit taking them, This does not seem to have occurred to any of the now virtuous gentiemen. Their thoughts are all turned in the direction ef stopping the giving. Cornelius N. Bliss, then and now Treasurer of the Republican Na- tional Committee, was an insurance company director, being one of the chaste dummies in Mr. Hyde’s Equitable collection. He knew as much about the ethics of right and wrong then he does now. Even Sena Depew voices a feeling of resentment against the iniquity of which he, was a part. The truth is the sin is the sin of being found out. Moral con not intermittent in its operations. Misgivings are. The men who have been robbing widows and orphans to buy elections, the results of w would continue the “protection” of their private enterprises, have nei shame nor conscience. They have simply been caught! What a horrible spectacle is thus presented by men who seem to think they are respectable enough to do anything. And George B, Corielyou, through whose fingers this miserable money dribbled to its corrupt an debauching end, is still Chairman of the Republican National Commi and Postmaster-General of the United States. . 16,100, th ed when the J Some Curious Historical Wagers, | the year 1787 a farmer Iaid a wager) The loser would certainly appear to I that he would eat two dozen penny | have been more original still, for h mutton ples and drink a gallon of | appeared dressed like a woman on o! ale in half an hour, a feat which he] side, one-half of his face being pain easily perfonmed well within the specl-| and the other { blackened to re fied limit, siya the Queen, In avout | semble that of a negro.

I chale ew York girl to refute any com dictment. H. K. nee and close ie above {ERE is an answer to this sweeping indictment g to the lips of every New York girl who reads it. It is not vily tone, But thus fs it formue “You're another!” At first glance, this may not seem to cover the sub- Ject. And of course the remark is not directed at iH) K * but toward the entire group of New York men of which he is one. Let us first of all plead guilty to the second count. Women, generally, are stingy But the great and glorious exception to this unpleasant generality is the working woman. The girl who makes her own money spends it freely enough. For it is a remarkable fact that to be obliged to work for money makes women more instead of less liberal. So that the dependent woman's stinginess largely results from her personal accountability to some one else for the expenditure of money not hers. On the fifth count also we are rather vulnerable. But must the gentle art that enables a woman to assure her husband that he is wiser than Solo- mon and funnier than Mark Twain, when the milliner presses, be termed so roughly? Shall we not say that all women are “tactful,” and let it go at that? But as to the first great charge that women are selfish, I do not belleve it. Unselfishness and self-sacrifice have crowned the lives of all women worthy of the name since Time's beginning. No woman can be a mother and be otherwise. There is no doubt that contact with the business world often develops a certain sophisticated hardness in a woman. So in the process of evolu- tion in the animal world, new weapons, new organs are developed to meet changed conditions. The fault of the New York business woman Is just one, great and irreme- | déable—t, e., the New York business man. There are, of course, thousands of thoroughly straight-forward, consid- erate employers in New York. And thousands of self-respecting young women are proud to work for them. | But there are also any number of men for whom the only difference be- tween Don Juan and Sir Galahad is one of location, the former role appar~ ently waiting for them with the downtown express, the latter boarding the 5 o'clock train for home. Woman everywhere is what man wishes her to be. Her heart is an empty vase, which he may fill with sweetness or with inyrrh. And to indict the womanhood of New Yoric is to indict its manhood. Personally, I would plead “not guilty” for both of them. It will rise in the heart and ————— The Shah's Strange Fear, Letters from the People « Answers to Questions.
