Why not? No woman was more deserving. First of all, she was doomed for her natural life to live with Adam, the man who hid behind his wife's petti coats, so to speak. Also- She was as progressive as any suf fragist. Knowing that the penalty for eating was wisdom, "she took of the fruit thereof and did eat." She was the beginning of wisdom. ' Before Adam, slow moving, even ven tured to pluck the fruit she chose wis dom. And in real wisdom have her daughters outrun their brothers. Also she was generous. She divided the apple and the con sequenceswith Adam. She might have eaten and kept her secret, leading her ignorant swain around by the nose. "But she gave also to him, and he did eat," which, my brothers, was A narrow escape. Above all else, Eve accepted the sit uation as it was without whimpering or excuse. And she patiently accepted the place of scapegoat. Adam whined to the Almighty, "The woman thou gavest to be with me. she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." The woman! It has been the way of all the sons of Adam layiu the blame for the family on the frail shoulders of Eve. She did what she thought to be the best thing for the family She was tired of living in a fool's paradise, where the family never would amount to anything. And when she gave the family a chance, to say the least, it was ungrateful. And she? Witho-it whining about the lost Eden she started a combined tailor shop and dressmaking establishment and fixed up the family wardrobe. It was the way of a woman. Before Adam knew where he "was at" her quick wits noted the family needs, and her quick fingers fashioned the best garments she could provide on short notice. Let the monument rise. I am but a mere man, but I am quite willing to contribute my share, for I confess to an ardent admiration for my primitive mother. The Line of Least Resistance. "Hello! Is that the information ed ltor?" asked a voice through the tele phone. "Yes." "Please tell me how many laches there are In a meter." "Haven't you a dictionary in your house?" "Yes, but it's less trouble to call you ep and ask you."Chlcago Tribuue. POTATO MARKET IS . WEAKER IN SOUTH There is a weaker tone in the pota to market in the south and this has been transmitted quickly to' this sec tion. Buyers are not nearly so eager to take hold of the extreme prices they have been offering at Willamette val ley points during the past ten days. The best price available at San Francisco is $2.15 for Oregon and on ly a small percentage of the- stock goes above $2.00 at $2.10 per cental. It costs in round figures 50c to ship, sell and weigh potatoes that are ship ped from the Willamette valley to the California city. This likewise in cludes the shrinkage, which is quite heavy at this time of the' year. For the stock that has been selling in San Francisco at $2.00 and $2.15, buyers have been paying as high as $1.65 per cental. This added to the freight and other charges, before stock is marketed in the south, would not allow the local buyer a single cent for his trouble and chances, even though he secured the extreme top there. On this account the bullsh move ment has temporarily subsided. Cal ifornia continues to underbid local shippers in the markets of Arizona and Texas, notwithstanding the high prices the trade at San Francisco al leges it is getting. The recent statement of San Joaq uin river interests at Stockton that the dealers were paying them $2.25 there "is therefore shown to be rather misleading for the very same potatoes are being sold in San Francisco, about 100 miles away, at a range of $1.45 to $1.75 and San Francisco buyers are not taking any losses if they can help it. It is generally belived that someone might have purchased a car load of stock at the figure quoted at Stockton, the transaction being in the nature of a blind so that growers there as well as in Oregon, would hold while speculators reaped their harvest from the artificial - shortage of offerings.

'"J ""Si- Photo copyright by American Press Association, H1J. WHAT promises to become a "celebrated case" is that of Folke E. Brandt, a young Swede, who a few weeks ago had never been beard of by the public outside of New York city and had for the most part been forgotten there. He bad been a servant in the bouse of Mortimer L. Schiff, a wealthy New York banker, and four years ago was sentenced to thirty years hard labor for burglary in the first degree, to which he pleaded guilty before Judge Rosalsky. The offence was committal in the house of his former employer, whom he is also said to have assaulted. Brandt, who was nnder age when he was arrested, alleges through bis attor ney that he was allowed by the presiding judge to plead guilty to a crime which, according to the evidence heard In the case, he did not commit Stren uous efforts have recently been made to have his sentence commuted or to have a new trial granted, and as a preliminary he was released from Danne mora prison on a writ of habeas corpus and brought to New York to appear In the court proceedings Instituted in his behalf. Judge Rosalsky has per mitted him to withdraw his plea of "guilty" and to enter one of "not guilty." Our Illustration shows Brandt (whose position is indicated by the arrow) on his way from the prison to the train. He Wished to KnowToo Much By DOROTHEA HALE Henderson was always straining to know something that there was no need for him to know, if be had had a wife he would have always been wondering if she were really devoted to him above all other men or if he should die she would forget him and love another equally well. Henderson was not married, but he was engaged to be married to a girl who gave every evidence that she bad singled him out above all other men to love. Both lived on the Atlantic coast, and shortly before the wedding Hen derson announced to his fiancee, Mar garet Stone, that his presence in San Francisco was required in the matter of certain interests he had there, for be was well off and lived on his in come. Miss Stone was poor. When be left her be seemed uneasy about something, and the lady begged him not to go. averring that she bad a foreboding that something would hap pen to him. Henderson hesitated. He thought be might settle the matter in the west by correspondence.' But he concluded to go. and the lovers parted with mutual forebodings. Two weeks Inter Margaret Stone re ceived a telegram from her fiance that be was very 111. but instructed her not to come to him. The next day Rhee celved a message from an Intimate friend of bis who bad gone west with him stating that Henderson was dead. The friend would bring the body east. In due time a letter came from the friend, Ian Gregory, that Henderson had requested before bis death that bis body be interred without ceremony and that she should not be present. Margaret was much shocked, but she bore up nobly under the misfor tune. She carried out Henderson's In structions to the letter, omitting to be present during the interment. Greg ory when he arrived called upon her. and it was arranged that the two should go together to Henderson's grave. Margaret enrried plants with her and put tbem in the gronnd so that they would grow over the grave. She found in Gregory a sympathetic friend. He was extremely deferential, always maintaining a delicacy dne to one who has experienced a great grief. She found it difficult to gel, blm to talk of Henderson's last illness. When ever she mentioned the subject he turned the conversation In other chan nels, intimating that it was a mourn ful topic that they would both do well to avoid. ' The two made several trips together to the cemetery to note the growth of the plants and put flowers on Hender son's grave; but Gregory seemed to shrink from going there, and the last time they went together he acted so strangely that Margaret did not sug gest his going again. He grew moody and discontented. At times be showed signs of taking the place made vacant by her fiance; at other times be acted as if he would consider such an act a betrayal of friendship.

Any mystery in one with whom we are thrown inti mately begets an interest, and since that interest with Margaret was In fluenced by demonstrations of a grow ing love for her. she found herself thinking a great deal of Gregory. One who has lost a love naturally craves to replace that love. But the more closely they grew to gether the more Gregory hung back, and it became evident that something was weighing on bis mind. Margaret tried gently to induce him to confide in her. but the bare mention of such a thing seemed to wear upon him dread fully. Believing that he was suffer ing from qualms at taking his friend's place in her heart, she exercised a frankness which would otherwise have been anmaidenly to convince him that there was nq, reason to reproach him self. Vine misunderstanding between tnem bad reached a climax when one even ing while they were together there was a ring at the doorbell and who should be ushered into the drawing room but Henderson himself. Now, it is not to be supposed that any one of the three under the cir cumstances maintained any steadiness of demeanor. Henderson and Gregory both looked as if they had been caught stealing. Through Margaret there ran a tumult of emotions. For awhile there was an oppressive silence. Then Margaret essayed to speak, but ber voice failed ber. Heuderson spoke in stead. "I owe you an explanation." But Margaret recovering bcrself in terrupted him. "You owe me no explanation, for I understand this mystery which has so long been puzzling me. I bave long been aware of your ruling passion that the . love of the woman who loves fou shall die with you. You have per petrated this deception In- connection with Mr. Gregory to learn whether I wonld be true to your memory in the way you would wish me to be true. Mr. Gregory consented to lend him self to your experiment In one sense it has been successful, since it has brought a definite result. Had I not been deceived I would have married him both for love and to supply the void in my heart made Vacant by your death. As it is. you have mined your selves and have ruined me. I doubt if the blessings of married life shall ever be mine." She left the room. The two men stood for a moment with bowed bead? then departed in different directions. Caterpillars of Sikkim.

GOTGH'S TITLE IS SAFE FOR AWHILE World's Champion Wrestler Uses Mahmout as Buffer. ; liE STAVES OFF CHALLENGERS Offers to Back Bulgarian Against Any MaWArtist In World If Turk Is De feated Gotch Will Give His Conqueror Chance at the Title. Almost every country In the world where wrestling exists s a sport has a representative in this country after the world's title. When Frank Gotch snatched the crown from Hacken schmldt several years ago it shifted the liat center of the world from Europe (o America. Now the ambitious Greco-Roman and catcb-as-cateh-can titans are flock ing to this country. England is about the only nation of importance that has not contributed to the colony here. There are Samsons and Siegfrieds from Germany, Pedersens from Scan dinavia. Padoubnys from Russia, Zbys cos from Galicla, Karlas from India, Courderelles from Turkey, -Romanoffs from the steppes and a veritable horde of unspeakable and Balkan wonders. But they are all here in vain. Cham pion Gotch is intrenched with his title, with a buffer between himself and any ambitious aggressors. Gotch has consummated one of the cleverest coups ever, worked in the history of the mat game. He has out witted both promoters 3nd wrestlers aspiring to a return match and the big gate money that such a contest would net them. Gotch has the Bulgarian Yusuf Mahmout under contract, and thus he is enabled to stave off all challengers while touring the country. He is in a position finally to baud over the title to the great Turk grappler when be chooses to make such a move. "Mahmout can defeat any of these wrestlers clamoring for a match with me," said Gotch. "I have Mahmout under contract and I am willing to back him against ady wrestler.". " Gotch tried to force Hackenschmidt to meet Mahmout. The world's cham pion insisted at that time that the Turk :ould defeat the "Russian Lion" in a finish niatcli.

The Goteh-HaekensctamiduBasco, in which the so called "Russian Lion" proved a failure as a worthy opponent of the champion, was an eye opener to the wrestling public. It showed the fans that Gotch knows the relative ability of the heavyweight grapplers and knows who is worthy to meet him. When all the wrestlers passed up Mahmout. Gotch took the Turk with bim.
