WHY THE ROOSTER LIVES After All, He Js of Sonic Use In tho Chicken Family. C. W Howe, til Howe' Monthly. or sixty years, as man and hov T have been humiliated because of my sex. Every mother seems to fear at nmes inat it Is a shame to bring up a boy; that however engaging he may be as a baby, he ia sure to get away from her later, and do something disgraceful. I noted this attitude not only at home but at school: while men are "s,uva. "y,gf00i l boys whe" ott to them! selves. I found that at home, at school, at church, on the streets, wherever "V: . women, men also look at boys In the funny way indicating that boys have no right to existence When I was quite young. I remember I was once sniffling to my mother, and demanding a shotgun. Just as my mother had declared that she had never owned a shotgun in her life, or wanted one, my father came in. "Henry," she said to him, "what do you suppose this wretched boy wants now? He wants a shotgun'" And Henry also looked at me as though he had never before in his life heard of such an unnatural request Although I am old now. and some what better behaved than I have been if a strange woman should approach me, and ask: "Ain't you ashamed oe yourself?" I believe I should replv that I am. having been taught so persistent ly to be. Boys often say to their motherB. You are always finding fault with a boy. Perhaps boys think more fault is found with boys than with men But boys, poor devils, will find this is a mistake. A wife and mother may be respectful to her husband in presence of the children indeed, this is a part of her goodness but there are times when she gets him alone, and talks more freely and fully than she ever talks to her son. For there never was a wife who had as poor an opinion of her son as she has of her husband. And after a boy goes out into the world, and becomes a hired hand, or business man. his employer or his cus tomers criticise him even more severe- ly than did his mother. The best and gentlest of women have this natural antagonism for the male nature. At our house we keep a num ber of young chickens, whose necks Lady Preston wrings as occasion re quires. Yesterday we had five pullets and one rooster, but when Adelaide told Lady Preston to wring a neck, she designated the rooster's neck. "Why not a pullet?" I asked. "Because." she replied, "Lady Preston says that as a rooster becomes older, he becomes tougher," But I insisted on a pullet: the one pullet in the flock the rooster didn't seem to like. Lady Preston later al most stood by me; old women are usually fairer with men than young ones. "Without him," she said, "the pullets would wander every which way." 1 DALLAS SUPPORTS BAND Muuieipul Institution Installed Un der Control of Conncil. DALLAS. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)
