Women Lumberjacks Take Place

in (I rent Brituin tliut a U'o
Dimi't) Forestry Corps lias been
formed to io tins work of lug
ging unil riivv in i 1 1 h which is
done in (his country by husky
lumberjacks.' Alioilt 400 wo
men have Iciii iii'd the liuni iii'sh
in u school in the Forest of
Dean nnd they now fell trees
anil hiiw them into pit props,
trench poles, barbed wire poles
railroad tires and other shapes.
They are the '..oyal Legion
of Loggers und Lumbermen of
the old country, but are far
more modestly paid than the
members of that organization
on the Pacific Coast. The fill
ers are guaranteed 1 pound a
week and at pieco work earn
from 23 to 28 shillings, while
the saw mill bands and scalers
earn from 30 to 40 shillings a
week.
When women invade such
occupations us those of the
lumberman, machinists and
shipbuilder, there seems to be
no limit to what women can do,
The petted doll of past genera
tions has passed away and in
her place has come the woman
who can do anything a man
can do, and does it.
Man should not object pro
vided that in the transforma
tion woman does not lose her
distinctly feminine qualities
and does not shun the duty of
motherhood, which becomes
doubly important when the
flower of young manhood is be
ing cut down. Portlund Ore

The chaplain wrote us of him how he lay
A winsome hoy in that long ward of pain,
(Ireeting the nurse with smiles day after day,
'Twas only once she heaid the lad complain,
Once only that he tried to smile in vain.
"If the surgeons could have saved my leg, 1 might
Have fought again. We have so few men here,'
But when the arm, was taken, too, the right,
His talk was all of home, the farm, the dear
Old apple trees whose blossoms cast their cheer

Upon him from five thousand miles away
"Our orchard must be lovely now," he said,
"I wonder if it misses me this May."
An hour before he died, with rapid tread
A famed French general cume to that screened bed;
And there were tears upon the war-bronzed face
As terse, crisp accents told of deeds well done,
A message sped through sheets of fire in race
With death, a wounded comrade dragged from one
Orim shell hole to another, fallen son
Of France, who thus her debt of love confessed.

The general, stooping, kissed each pallid cheek ibfe
And pinned the croix de guerre upon his breast. .
The blue eyes lightened, and the one hand weak
And groping, sought the cross. He strove to speak;
The nurse bent close, slowly the white lips made
The words: "Tell dad. He knew that when I went
I was afraid that I should be afraid."
So slept, the last gold sands of boyhood spent,
Our soldier, unashamed and well content.

WOMEN OF 1813.
i Views As to tier Intellect and tier
i Sphere of Duly.
I
i There lies on the desk a book
published anil sold by Muses
ThnrnuH, Philadelphia, healing
j the dute of I Hill, which makes
it 105 years old. There are
many strange things in that
hook, which contains "Selec
tions from Foreign Reviews
and Magazines," all of which
is claimed to be "the best
thought of the ablest men of
the age." There is an essay
attacking a French authoress
who was claiming an equality
of intellect of the two sexes.
The reviewer remarks: "Upon
the whole, we do not think that
a little learning is always dan
gerouB thing in a lady, so long
as it has reference to her con-
i ditiim of life and the spheres of
her duties."
That is as f ir as the world
hud got at that time in the ed
ucation of women. About sev
enty years afterward, when a
woman senior wrangler at Ox
ford, which is the highest hon
or in mathematics, there began
a change of opinion concerning
the quality of women's intel
lect. It was maintained in the en
tire period by these "ablest
men of the age," that her phy
sical structure made it impos
sible for her to comprehend the
great questions, such as that of
war. Since then a woman has
written the greatest war hymn
of the world.
