what they fight fc;-. Persuasion and argument are uie
pons of diplomacy, and a struggle for auffrage doesn't come
under that head. The party in power is never willing to
share its rule till forced to do so. This has been the history
i Th0 American people tried persuasion and argument to
rid themselves of taxation without repreesntation, but they
w flnaly bad tQ reson to arm8 t0 galn their freedom. It is
probably the same voice that now cries "Unwomanly" that shouted "Treason!
Treason!" at Patrick Henry.
Bid any of the women who encouraged their husbands and suffered their
hardships in that struggle lose any of their womanliness because they urged
their men to fight for their liberty and were ready to fight themselves It
necessary?
Did Barbara Frietchie lose her womanliness when she waved the Ameri
can flag aud dared them to shoot "this old gray head"?
Did the women of that war. and especially of their charm because they
were willing and anxious to share the lot and privations of the men who
fought? .
Does the Red Cross nurse on the battlefield lose her womanliness be
cause she associates with hardened men? Isn't it true that she softens
those about her and spreads her gentleness everywhere?
My own grandmother sent her husband and her three sons to the War of
the Rebellion, and said she was sorry she hadn't more to send. Did she lose
any of her womanliness because she advocated force of arms?
Men will giant suffrage to women when women can demand it. When
men sue that women are just as determined in the matter of suffrage as were
those who engaged in the Boston tea party, when they realize that some
thing sorious will result if the demand is not heard, then they will consider
It seriously.
Floaters have ever borne the hardships and cruelties of this world, often
tne ridicule. Hut what men ridiculed yesterday they accept today as fact,
and it set ms stiv.r.ne to them that it was not always so. So it will be with
suffrage. When it is granted to women, and it will be some day, then wo

Advocates of radical changes are always "strident and violent. It may

the polls, hut die will come, and when she does the political heeler will dis

RICH woman died the other day and left a will.
In the will the rich woman left to one of her daughters
a grave in a forsaken lot outside the family plot in the old
fashioned family cemetery.
Poor thing; poor, twisted, disordered, embittered mind
this world wasn't big enough for her to finish her quar-
rels in.
She wasn't satisfied with clouding her life with anger
and bitterness, so she took her heartaches and her disap
pointments and her cruel anger down into the very grave with her.
Poor creature, how hard it must have been for her to realize that she
couldn't see her daughter's distress and humiliation when that will was read.
What is she going to find In the next world, that poor, distorted soul;
where can she go to find happiness?
Why, the very harps of the angelic choir itself would make a discord for
her if she couldn't twist the music into some kind of a taunt.
A great hate is the most terrible disease that can fasten itself upon a
human being.
I'd rather be a victim to the white plague any day than to nourish In my
heart a consuming enmity.
I have seen a man lie down and die when there was nothing the matter
with him but bitter envy.
Once I knew a woman who hated her sister, and her sister's husband
found a gold mine, and they were very rich, and the day that the woman I
know heard the news she turned as yellow as saffron, and in one week she
was dead poisoned with her own evil hatred.
Beware of the man who turns green when you tell him of a friend's suc
cess. He Is poisoned and he is very dangerous.
Beware of the woman who gives a twisted smile at the news of some
other woman's happiness.
She is inoculated with the dreadful germ of envy.
If I had a child who was jealous, and envious, I would drop everything
flse in the world and devote my time and every energy of my being to the
task of killing those dreadful traits just as I would devote my life to curing
him of some terrible physical disease.
Hate, envy, bitterness there's no room for them In this world.
Shut them out of your heart. They are as dangerous as prussio acid,
and as terrible as fhe dreadful drink of carbolic that has killed so many shud
dering wretches. New York American.

THE AIR HAS BEEN CONQUERED.
That the Aeroplane Has Passed tlie Experimental Stage Was Impressed
Upon tne Spectators Daring Aviation Week at Rheims as Tbey Saw
llie Human Birds Preening Their Great Wings
and Soaring Like Eagles.
Rhelms, France. The worldwide
Interest In the doings of the aviators
at Rhelms Increased as each day saw
some record broken, some new feat
accomplished.
No one can read the story of the
performances and retain any linger
ing doubt that the conquest of the air
has been achieved and that it now
only remains to further develop and
perfect the aeroplane.
The popular Impression that as
cents were practicable only In very
calm weather will be dispelled by the
performances In a wind blowing twen
ty odd miles an hour and with strong
eddies. M. Paulhan's flight of nearly
nineteen miles, part of It at the great
height of nearly BOO feet, and ir the
course of which he overtook and
passed a railway train, gave the as
semblage a magnificent spectacle, and
it is not surprising to read of the
boundless enthusiasm he eiclted.
In view of the high wind there
might have been no racing but for a
visit from the President of the Re
public, accompanied by members of
the Cabinet and distinguished officers
of the French and British armies.
That flights were successfully and
safely made in the circumstances not
only demonstrates the practicable
stage that aviation has reached, but
seems to prove also the superiority
of the biplane in the matter of stabil
ity over the monoplane. At any rate
the lattei type of machine did not
figure in the records.
The speed record made by Mr. Cur
tiss, the American aviator, was bro
ken by M. Latham, who covered the
six and one-fifth miles in eight min
utes, four and .two-fifths seconds,
beating by twenty-seven seconds the
time made by Mr. Curtlss.
There are two visitors at Rheims
of whom little Is heard, but who are
among the most interested of specta
tors. They are the naval and mili
tary attaches from Paris, and it to
safe to assume that they will obtain
many "wrinkles" that will prove val
uable In adapting the aeroplane to
military use on sea and land. The
"aviation week" at Rhelms Is a won
derful event, and will give a tremen
dous impetus to invention and experi
ment in the new-born but already
practicable art of aerial navigation. -
Experts are astonished to find how
widely diffused la the Interest in the
art and sport of aviation and at the
number of persons already proficient
in it. Mr. Curtlss says:
"I never realised that there are so
many good aviators. This meeting
will help the aeronautic movement
enormously by bringing to the atten
tlon of the public the progress that
has been made in flying. Our object
in coming here was to win the Coupe
Internationale. . We had no idea of
doing any business, yet every day we

lately In the air. But In the
world of machinery during the
vatlsm amounts to fatuous cre-
agencies in Europe. This can be
taken as an indication of the business
activity likely to follow these races."
The example of M. Sommer, who Is
one of the substitute pilots in the
contest for the International Cup, is
suggestive. Six or seven weeks ago
he first saw a flying machine. He
bought it, and within a few days had
made a world record for flight. It is
not so many years ago that the auto
mobile was no furtherHeveloped than
Is the aeroplane to-day.
M. Lambert, who pilots a Wright
machine, expressed his conviction that
automobile speed tests will be re
placed by those with the aeroplane.
"Even at this stage," he said, "It Is
real racing, not merely demonstra
tions, that is taking place. The fin
ishes are close and at times the aero
planes can be seen struggling for
supremacy in speed. I believe this
meeting will do a large amount of
good from a sporting standpoint."
That the aeroplane has passed the
Initial experimental stage Is certainly
Impressed upon the tens of thousands
of spectators who see the assemblage
of human birds at Beth en y preening
their great wings and soaring like
eagles. That the. endurance contest
of five laps around the great course
a total distance of more than thirty
one miles is not difficult may be in
ferred from the flight of M. Paulhan,
and Mr. Curtlss' fine performance in
qualifying for one of the contests in
dicates that the struggle for the In
ternational Cup will set a new stand
ard for speed.

give a tremendous stimulus to the
development of aeronautics all over

FIVE' HITS MADE FOR FIFTH
TIME IN MAJORS.
When Outfielder Ray' Hartzell of
the St. Louis Browns found Pitchers
Dygert and Coombs, of the Athletics,
for five hits in a game at Philadel
phia, a few days ago, he won the dis
tinction of being the first player In
the American league to accomplish
this feat this season. Many men In
Ban Johnson's organization have
hung up four hits In a game this year,
but until Hartzell cleaned up none
had broken into the five hit circle.
Four players in the National league
have done the trick this year, so that
Hartzell Is the fifth man to achieve
the feat in the majors.

which stood as the 1909 record for
total bases in the National until Joe
Tinker of the Cubs, made a total of
nine bases on four hits. Wagner of

PIRATES GET NEW
THIRD BASEMAN BRYNE,
FOR BARBEAU AND STORKE.
Last week the baseball public of
Pittsburg was startled by the an
nouncement that Jap Barbeau and
Alan Storke had been traded to the
Cardinals for Bdbby Byrne. There Is
much dissatisfaction among the Pitts
burg fans in regard to this trade.
Barbeau being one of the most popu
lar men on the team. However
Byrne seems to be the man that the
Pirates have needed for a long time
since the third base position has nev
er been acceptably filled since Tom
my Leach demanded an outfield posi
tion. Barbeau was very erratic.
When he was Rood he was one of the
best, but when he had a batting or
fielding slump he certainly did have
it right. Bryne is a good reliable
man, many of the experts classing
him as the secend best In the Nation
al league at present. Still when one
stops to consider, the Cardinals cer
tainly did not get the worst of the
deal by any means. Storke and Bar
beau are good enough to be regulars
on that team and they no doubt will
help the team wonderfully in their at
tempt to reach a higher pinnacle In
the National league race.
Manager Jennings of the Detroit
Tigers says that Pittsburg cannot
possibly lose the pennant now, after
making that Important player deal,
exchanging Barbeau and Storke for
Byrne of St. Louis. "This Byrne 19
a fine third baseman." said Hughey,
"and he will brace Pittsburg where
the club has been weakest this year.
It looks like Pittsburg all the way.
Byrne's addition makes certain this
belief."
