ENGLAND'S SUFFRAGETTES
That outbreak by Mrs. Pankhurst
and some of her associates which has
just taken place in London will find
very little favor among American suf
fragists. It is not likely to advance
the cause in the British Islands. Nor
will their denunciation of Chancellor
Lloyd-George help them. At a meet
ing of representatives of the National
Union of Woman Suffrage Societies in
London to urge the placing of a suf
frage provision fn the government's
reform bill, the chancellor was stig
matized as a "coward" and a "trait
or" becuase he did not insist on in
corporating the ballot for women in
that measure.
Here is where the suffragettes per
petrated a blunder which their Amer
ican sisters would not have made.
The British ministry is divided on that
issue. Premier Asquith is against it
and so are a majority of his associ
ates in the government, but Lloyd
George and two or three others fav
or it . If they had insisted on plac
ing a clause of this sort in the bill,
however, they would have been over
whelmingly outvoted by the other
members of the government. His pos
ition, which ought to commend itself
to everybody having even an elemen
tary knowledge of politics, is to pro
pose it in the Commons as an amend
ment to the bill, and thus give every
body in each party an opportunity to
vote for or against it Both parties
are divided on it, but the majority of
the friends of suffrage are among the
" Liberals.
The chancellor's plan is the only
method of .dealing with the suffrage
issue which has any prospect-of suc
cess. To attempt to commit the Lib
eral party or the ministry to the sup

Money Getting Mania Men
ace to Real Aim of Colleges
By Dr. ANDREW F. WEST
E often hear it said that learning should have a practical
purpose, and that sounds reasonable enough until we in
- quire what is meant by practical. Then we usuallv find
. that practical means MONEY GETTING.
We are told that learning is only valuable if it help3 a man in the
struggle for life. But if that is ever generally believed the univer
sities will change their nature and our civilization will become only
;in elaborately organized-BARBARISM.
. Universities rose into being and flourished in power and splendor
!iecause their business was to help not the individual in bis struggle
for life, but the WORLD in its effort to rise above the struggle
lor life. '
port of that policy would result In the
shattering bf the party and the min
istry and the triumph of the "Tories,
and, manifestly, his outcome would
delay and not hasten the ballot for
women. -The suffragists in the United
3tates are wiser.. Knowing that the
ballot for them must come, if it
;omes at all, through" the support,
which the cause receives from men,
they resort to coaxing rather than
to coercion. They refraim from smash
ng windows or assailing policemen.
When the male friends of their cause
point out a way in which they can ac
3omplish their object quicker by grad
ual approaches than by a spasmodic
rush, they do jtot hurl such epithets
as "traitor" or "coward'' at them.
Hence they accomplish something.
To the four ' states Wyoming, Colo
rado, Utah and Idaho which had al
ready given the ballot to women on
equal terms with men, Washington
was added to the roll in 1910 and Cal
ifornia in 1911. And there is a strong
probability that Oregon and Kansas
will place themselves in the suffrage
column in 1912.
Roman Sausages.
The Romans were very much addict
ed to sausages made at Lucania. The
meat used was pork and a good quan
tity of bacon, pounded in a mortar,
with pepper, cumin, winter savory and
moistened with garum, to which were
added a few pine nuts. It has been
pointed out that the Romans when
they used breadcrumbs took care that
the bread should be of the very finest
kind and that before it was mingled
with the sausage meat it should be
soaked in wine. This was a precaution
against the contingency of the bread
passing through a sour stage of fer
mentation, in which case it would be
undeniably unwholesome.
Great Guns of Old.
We are accustomed to think of large
cannon as a very recent invention.
Yet as long ago as 1543 a certain Ralph
Hogge of Buckstead, in Sussex, cast
large guns, and a pupil of his, Thomas
Johnson, in 1595 made for the Earl of
Cumberland "forty-two cast pieces of
great ordnance of iron." These weigh
ed 6,000 pounds three tons apiece
and, we are told, showed very fine,
smooth workmanship. All the smelt
ing was done with charcoal, of which
it took three tons to smelt each ton of
iron. Also all the ore was carted from
the mine on pack horses, which took a
load of about 300 pounds each. The
immense amount of labor and expense
may be Imagined. London Graphic.

Was It Genius?
By JOHN C W1NSLOW
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation, 1911.
Paul-Crook was a young American
lit student in Paris. He was consid
Ced very promising by connoisseurs,
ind a number of his chums . looked
ipon him as a coming genius. Crook
Ived just such a life as other artists
3ved In the Latin quarter at that time,
irhich was a bobemian 'one, mingling
nly with those who were either art
ists, artists' models "or grisettes. He
dad a bed in his studio, where he slept
ind got bis own breakfast, dining
usually at a restaurant, where he met
ther artists and the women they as
lociated with, including models. They
vould usually get together at the same
tible, and a merrier lot were not to be
found in all Paris.'
There was a girl who belonged to
this set who seemed out of place.
There was a refined purity about her
that none of the others possessed. She
made her living as an artist's model,
Dut especially for her head and shoul
iers. She had posed for more Madon
aa pictures than would fill one of the
rooms In the Louvre. Crook, being
the most prominent artist of the set,
:onsidered that any one of the girls he
;hose to smile upon should smile upon
him in return. He took a fancy to
Oecile Boyer "the Madonna." as she
was familiarly referred to and was
Fery much put out that she did not
return his admiration.
The truth is Cecile had given her
heart to David Forbes, one of the least
prominent of the young artists study
ing in Paris. He, too, was an Ameri
:an. Why he tried to make an artist
jf himself no one could conjecture, for
tie had no Idea of any of those matters
which pertain to art He undertook
to paint a scene as revealed through
i window and devoted two-thirds of
Bis space to the curtain. As to per
spective, he would paint a house and
1 pnmp, showing the pump larger
than the house. When bis chums
ridiculed his work Cecile defended
him. Indeed, the only cause they
;ould assign for her affection for him
was pity. Crook could paint excellent
pictures, but Cecile did not love him.
Forbes couldn't paint anything of
ralue, and he was hers heart and
loul. ' "
Of all the young women who met at
ihe B. cafe Cecile was the only one who
sever posed except completely dressed.
Indeed, since she was wanted special
ly for her head and shoulders, nudity
was unnecessary. The singular fea
ture of her association with the others
was that she did not in any way as
lume to be better than tbey. "
Unfortunately for Forbes, he could
not afford to spend his time trying to
learn what seemed impossible for him
to learn, for he was pr.or. But the less
money he had in bis pocket tbe more
Jeter mined he became to make an art
ist of himself. . Whether Cecile en
;ouraged him in his purpose no one
tnew, though all understood she stuck .
ay him. About tbe time bis last franc
was spent and no remittanr-e to come
trom America his health broke down,
ind that finished all work for him. at
least for the present.
His artist friends - went, to see blm
tnd asked if tbey could do anything
Tor him, but he shook his head and
laid that be was getting on very well.
Sometimes they would find Cecile
;here. ministering to him. Indeed, she
was providing for him, but at that
Ume no one dreamed of such a thing. "
During Forbes: illness Paul Crook
ittempted to gain' some foothold with
Cecile. She neither encouraged nor
repelled him. Indeed, she continued to
je indifferent to him. He offered ber a
large sum to pose to him for a picture
requiring a model for the whole figure.
For a time he .believed she would
sonsent She wanted the money for
David Forbes. She went to David,
told him of tbe offer and said that if
he would accept of the sacrifice she
would accept Crook's proposition.
By this she gav trim a dose that
took away his malady and called out
in artistic ability that no one knew
was in him. He spurned tbe proposi
tion with horror, saying: '
"Had I such a model I could produce
i wonder."
That was the origin of Forbes' pic-,
ture of Eve. which was hung in the
?aris salon the next year. None of
he set of which Paul Crook was the
ihining light recognized Cecile as tbe
model for Eve. Forbes put just enough
:hange In the features to prevent her
being recognized. He shrank from, ber
appearing before tbe world as his
model more than she. She was shield
ed by his love and her sacrifice.
What a -singular bouleversement
3rook was expected to give tbe world
It least one great work. So he did.
But how? By stirring tbe poison of
fealousy in a man . who it was believ
sd had not a single artistic instinct
Drook csJIed out a latent, unexpected
ibility Crook himself seldom rose
ibove mediocrity and after awhile
leemed to recede from bis best work,
indeed, between the two men there
as produced but one celebrated pic
ture, that painted by David Forbes.
Forbes' single chef d'opvre Is a puz
de. ' If It was really genius, why did
it not repeat Itself? If It was simply
the result of a stimulus, bow could it
produce a work of genius where gen
ius did not exist? The problem borders
n those natural laws which are still
bidden from us.

Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYU.
KATE SHELLY.
"Kate Shelly Is dead." s
The telegram that told of her' going
saddened many hearts.
Kate Shelly!
For thirty-one years she has been the
ideal heroine of the northwest and in
all those years she has lived so mod
estly and worthily as to confirm the
public's good opinion of her strong
and gentle spirit.
The story is an old one.
On the night of July 6, 1881, Honey
creek, in Boone county, la., became a
torrent and swept away the bridge.
The Shellys were aroused by the crash
of a freight train which had plunged
into the stream.
iiss Shelly and her mother were at
home alone.
Against -the protest of her mother
Kate, who at that time was but fifteen
years of age, lighted a lantern and
started for the wreck. It was a black
night, and she reached the bank of
the creek under great difficulty.
Arriving, she was attracted by the
cry of the engineer, who was the only
survivor of the wreck and was cling
ing to a tree.
Then she thought of the night ex
press which was almost due. To save
the train she - must cross the Des
Moines river bridge, already beginning
to tremble from the flood, and get to
Moingona station.
She ran a mile to the bridge, and
then her lantern went out, leaving her
In pitch darkness. The bridge was
400 feet long and swung fifty feet
above the river. It swayed under the
Impact of the waters.
The heroic glr crawled on her hands
and knees along the perilous struc
ture", praying for strength. Flashes of
lightning revealed the tottering bridge,
and the swollen waters added terror
rather than assistance. '
Somehow she crossed the bridge and
got to the station just in time to warn
the train, dropping prostrate.
In 1882 the Iowa legislature voted
her a medal and $200. The North
western railroad made her station
agent at Moingona for life.
Today the finest bridge on the main
line of the Northwestern road, over
the Des Moines river, near Moingona,
Is named the Kate Shelly bridge.
She never married, and when she
died at the railroad's hospital last
month, a private car bore her body
home to Moingona.
And that's all.
But so long as the waters of the Des
Moines river shall flow beneath the
Kate Shelly bridge, the heroism of the
brave Irish lass shall be told as a
memorial of her.
Tho Better Way.
.'Tositively the worst struggle I ever
had in the water." said a young, man
who had been at sea, "was one night
trying to save a man with a wooden
leg."
. "Man," said an old Scotchman who
was quietly listening, "if ye had got
a bit of rope ye could hae saved the
man quicker wf it than ye could dae
wi' ten widden legs."

The earliest attempt to introduce
theatrical performances In this coun

land, but Increase Mather wrote and
spoke so forcibly in opposition to the
project that it was speedily abandoned.
The first theatrical performance in New

His Nose.
There was once a gentleman who
had had the misfortune to lose his
nose. "My dear," said the lady of the
house which he was about to visit to
her little daughter, "I want you to be
very particular and make no remarks
about Mr. Jenkins' nose." The young
lady promised. Later In full drawing
room It was noticed that she looked
surprised and even bewildered, and
those who knew her best waited hope
fully for some remark which would,
so to speak, make the home bright
and lively. At last it came. "Mam
ma," she said in a clear, resonant
voice, "why did you tell me to say
nothing about Mr. Jenkins' nose? He
hasn't got any."
A Mean Suggestion.
"You know." said Miss Kreech after
her solo, "I intend to go abroad to fin
