IfYSTERIA IN MEN AND WOMEN.
When Mrs. Helen R. Robinson, the
cnly woman senator in Colorado, smil
ingly told a New York audience that
jenare too hysterical to be making
laws, she jarred all the conventional
notions of sex characteristics. The
highly strung temperament in - us
ually associated with women) prob
ably because our grandmothers were
jo quick to go into hysteria or faint
n slight provocation. . That it does
not hold good for the women of to
. day, a moment's thought will demon
strate. Of course, to every rule there are
exceptions, and there are still wo
men quite emotional, as the public
has come .to believe most prima don
nas to be.'' On the other hand, a
quiet mental summary of the couples
of one's acquaintance ' will " reveal
many instances where the woman has
the business head of the family, is
more cool In emergency, more self-
possessed, more sanely practical.
It is often urgec? as an argument
against the mental equality of wo
men with men that few women ap
pear in the list of the world's great
est poets, artists or musicians. It
is not necessarily argument. . Wo
men are too sensible to be predom
inantly poetic, ' artistic or musical.
They enjoy poetry but they leave it
to half loony men like Byron to com
pose it. They like pictures but they
let freaks like Whistler paint them.
They are appreciative listeners at
concerts and musical festivals, but it
(s noticeable that while many render
music few will compose it. The
gloomy egotism which makes Wagner
or the emotional eccentricities whick
are combined in the creation of a
Listz have little place in the femi
nine nature. Even the brillian ex
ceptions the erratic George Sand,
for instance seem to have mixed
housewifely good sense "with their
frivolities.
Divergence from the normal makes
artistic and literary readers. Women
are above nil else normal. I Even the
most romantic want their romance

Riverside Grange Will View Both
Sides of the Matter.
On January 21st Riverside Grange
will take up the matter of whether
it is economy for the state to send
out farm advisers from the state
college. Under a law passed last
session of the legislature each county
may appropriate a certain amount of
money for the expenses of a farm
expert to be sent out by the agri
cultural college for the purpose of
advising farmers and fruit growers.
The Riverside Grange will go to the
bottom of this question on the date
above mentioned. -

Baker Attorney Under Arrest.''
Charles F. Hyde, attorney, pleaded
guilty before Justice of the Peace
Hubbard in justice court this morn
ing on a charge of hunting illegally
on a game preserve, says the Baker
Herald. The minimum fine of $50
was imposed by the court. Mr. Hyde
was hunting with R., W. Derby of
Sumpter on a farmer's preserve and
they were both arrested, Mr. Derby
being freed on showing that he had
not fired a shot owing to his gun har- .
ing been broken at the start. of the
hunting trip. i
Deputy Game Warden Charles B.
Orai appeared in court to testify
when the case was called but no evi

plea of guilty was entered .
While here Mr. Orai called atten
tion to the fact that the federal law
regulating the hunting of migratory
birds provides that on January 16
the season for shooting- migratory
