Our attention has been called to the fact that we never saw a baldheaded woman. Well, what of that7 There are a good many things we never saw. We never saw a woman sit on a dry goods box and surround herself with a sea of tobacco spit sprayed through her teeth. WTe never saw one go fishing with a bottle of bait in her hip pocket, sit on the damp ground and go home drunk at night. We never saw a woman yank off her coat, spit on her hands and swear she could lick the biggest man in town. Come to think of it, there are a good many thin as we never saw a woman do, and don't want to eifcher'The United States has plunged itself into war—war against flies and mosquitoes. Duringtbe past winter, there has been a suspension of hostilities in the war against insects, but the truce is now over, and Americans have dropped their neutrality and picked up the swatters. The great in-door sport of fly-swatting, by which men aud women reduce their waist measure, spot up the wall paper, and smash picture glass, is now in full swing. It is bard to realize until flv-timo comes around that Americans are really belligerent at heart. Brought face to face with enemy fly, howeyer, Americans rise in a body to the defense of their homes. No sooner does spring come than man wants to get out and dig. He wants to see things grow, and help them grow. The creative power is the most godlike of human functions; the supreme achievements of Deity was to bring order out of chaos. So the man. reverting to the primitive, cleans up the backyard, invests a. quarter in a rose bush or seeks wisdom of the vacant lot nursery man as he chooses & shrub, Once planted the question of survival is on the knees of the gods'; the primeval in stinct has been satisfied for the time being. A man's temperament shows itself iu his garde i pip * )fhe Is optimistic, he reaps, imaginatively, before be has sown ; if he is enthusiastic, he undertakes all the available area. When everything grows with such surprising rapidity that tbe selfsown seeds outstrip the painstakingly planted; when the mosquito tunes her pipe and theTutworm comes from its secret hauuts to devour his seed lings, courage oozes out of his iingertips. Only the persistent and the undaunted who have been ambitious in April are triumphant in July. The garden is a test of Character. In spring the soul of man yearns for fresh vegetables. It is undoubtedly true that a man ljiay buy vegetables of the peripatetic Italian more cheap ly than he can grow them himself. But the bunch of radishes he lifts with a nickel-is rot half as a beautiful to him, nor of so fine flavor, as those he planted and coddled, and pulls with pardonable pride. And look at the fun he gets! Look at the muscle he develops! All the deepbreathiug aud "exercises" of the health cranks give no better results, physically, than an hour in the outdoors with spade and hoc. We prize what we wrork for more than we do the plums that fall iu our open mouths, — WHY IS WOMAN RESTLESS? By W. D. Lewis, DISTiNY OF NATIONS DEPENDS UPON CONTENTED HOMES. President Texas Farmers' Union, Why is woman dissatisfied? Why does she grow restless under the crown of womanhood? Why is she weary of the God-given jewel of motherhood? Is it not a sufficient political achievement for woman that future rulers nurse at her breast, laugh i« her arms and kneel at her feet? Cas ambition leap to more glorious height* than to sing lullabies to the world's .greatest geniuses, chant ta wnastsr minds and rock the cradle of hyman destiny? God pity our country when the handshake of the politician is more grati« fying to woman's heart than the pat= ter of children's feet. Woman Is Ruler Over A If. Why does woman chafe under restraint of sex? Why revile the hand of nature? Why discard the skirts that civilization has clung to since the beginning of time? Why lay aside this hallowed garment that has wiped the tears of sorrow from the face of childhood? In its sacred embraca every generation, has hidden its face in shame; clinging to its motherly folds, tottering children have learned to play hide and seek and from it youth learned to reverence and respect womanhood. Can man think of his mother without this consecrated garment? Why this inordinate thirst for power? Is not woman all powerful? Man cannot enter this world without her consent, he cannot remain in peace without her blessing and unless she sheds tears of regret over his departure, he has lived in vain. Why this longing for civic power when God has made her ruler over all? Why crave authority when man bows down and worships her? Man has given woman his heart, his name and his money. What more does she want? Can man find it in his heart to look with pride upon the statement that his honorable mother-in-law was one of the most powerful political bosses in the country, that his distinguished grandmother Was one of the ablest filibusters in the Genate or that his mother was a noted warrior and her name a terror to the enemy? Whither we drifting and where will wa land? God Save Us Prom a Hen-Peeked Nation. 1 follow the plow for a living and m y views may have in them the smell of the, soil; my hair is turning white under the frost of many winters and perhaps t am a little old-fashioned, but I believe there is more moral in* in the dress of woman than in all the statute books of the land. As ;n agoncy for morality, I wouldn't give my good old mother's home* made gowns for all the suffragette's constitutions and by-laws in the world. As a power for purifying society, 1 wouldn't give one prayer of my.saintly mother for. all the women's votes in Christendom. As an agency for good government, I wouldn't give the plea of a mother's heart for righteousness for all the oaths of office in the land, There is more power in the smile of woman than in an act of congress. There are greater possibilities for food government in her family of laughing children than in the cabinet of the president of the United States.. The destiny of this nation lies in the home and not in the legislative halls. The hearthstone and the family Bible will ever remain the source of our inspiration and the Acts of the Apostles will ever shine brighter than the acts of Congress. This country is law-mad. Why add to a statute book, already groaning under its own weight, the hysterical cry of woman? If we never had a chance to vote again in a lifetime and did not pass another law in twentyfive years, we could survive the ordeal, but without home, civilization would wither and die. God save these United States from becoming a henpecked nation; help us keep sissies out of Congress and forbid that women become stepfathers to government, is prayer of the farmers of this convey. Defined "What Is tlie difference between firmness and obstinacy?" asked a young lady of her fiance. "Firmness," was his gallant reply, "Is a noble characteristic of women; obstinacy is a lamentable defect in men." The Other Side of It. "The earlj binl catches the worm," Observed the sage. "i'e.'i." replied the fool, "but look how much longer he has to wait for dinner time."-Cincinnati Enquirer. PERSONALS Mrs. H. M. Skue speut Saturday in Buffalo. Mrs. D.
