THE PRESIDENTS'
0 THE PRESIDENT is going to
presidency. He aspires to bo an editor, not editor-in-chief, but a
space writer. That is lucky for him. He will only write when he
feels like it, and that will save him. If he had to buckle down to the
work and put out something every day for everybody to read, in about
three weeks he might feel like getting outside and calling somebody a
liar. Many a -man has been a successful president who would have been
a dead failure as an editor. The president does not know it, but he is
taking a big risk in selecting journalism for an occupation. It was not
much to storm San Juan Hill. The guns were roaring, the boys were
were shouting, the Spaniards were shooting over their
heads. Even the colored boys of the 24th went up the hill all right,
and then It only lasted a brief quarter of an hour.
It Is not so much to be president, for if a man in that position blund
ers, there are millions of sychopharts to applaud the blunders. But the
editor, if he is worthy of the place, works all day and half the night, and
when he goes to his bed, the work follows him there and haunts him. It
is not much to be a rough rider in the open, but to ride a nightmare,
night after, night, that takes some skill. Then, if he makes a mistake or
under long pressure grows dull for a day, then the gieat public grows
impatient, and men who could not write a stick-full to save their lives
are eager to assert that the journal does not come up to their standard,
and the look they wear Is: "If I could spare the time to edit a paper
I would show the world somo things." Then, when Mr. Editor puts out
an idea, it is a great delight for the editor aiound the corner to hold
him up to the pity of mankind and talk mysteriously about the need of
a home for the ieeble-minded. But the toughest thing of all is that the
editor shows out thiough the type what ho himself is, and if he is a
faker, or if his soul ought to be wearing stripes at the state's expense,
or If he tries to ape a knowledge which he does not possess, or if, when
he writes, he thinks he will decelvs the public and conceal his real sen
timents, lo! it will all shino out through the types, and men will see
him as he really Is. It Is a dangerous experiment for the President to
try. He evidently has selected that field In order to keep himself be
fore the public until 19127" but that is a long time for an editor to hold
up. Tho life of a galley slave only averaged a year and a half, but that
was nothing compared with the work of a conscientious editor. The
President had better reconsider his purpose to sign all his articles. The
old editor of the Outlook is a strong man and writer, and though often
wrong, he is an able and honest man, and If the President would hide his
personality he might often get credit for work that another man did,
and might escape a great deal of criticism that he will have to meet if
ho signs his own' articles, for while he himself Is bright and strong-, ho
has not that level headeduess necessary to make a journal today that
will correspond with the same journal six months from today.
But It is to be a big promotion for him to advance from the presi
dency to stately journalism.

R. BURDETTE Insists that he
once overheard a woman lec
turing her husband as follows:
"Now I'll tell you why I wouldn't
go into the restaurant and havo a
cup of coffee with you while wo were
waiting for the train. I didn't like
the way you asked me. Not half an
hour before, you said to Mr. Puffer,
'Come, let's get a cigar,' and away
you went, holding his arm, and not
giving him a chance to decline.
"AA'hen wo met John Howdy on
our way to luncheop you said, 'Just
In time, John; come, take lunch with
us.' And then to-night, when we
had to wait an hour for the train, you
looked at your watch, turned to me,
and said, in a questioning way,
'Would you like a cup of coffee? And
I did want it; I was tired and a lit
tle hungry, but I would have faint
ed before I would have accepted such
an invitation. And you went away
I a little bit vexed with me and had
I your coffee and bread and butter by
yourself, and didnt enjoy it very
much. In effect, you said to mo, 'If
you want a cup of coffee, if you
really want it, I will buy it for you.'
"You are the best husband in this
world, but do as nearly all tho best
husbands do.
"Why do you seem to dole out
things to your wife when you fairly
throw them to the men you know?
AVhy didn't you invito mo heartily as
you invite men? AVhy didn't you
say. 'Come, let's get a little coffee
and something,' and take me straight
away with you?
"You wouldn't say to a man.
'AA'ould you like me to go and buy
you a cigar?" Then why do you al
ways issue your little Invitations to
treats in that way to me?
"Indeed, if men would only act to
ward their wives as heartily, cordial
ly and frankly as they do toward tho
men whom they meet they would find
cheerier companions at home than
they would at the club."
"Arhen we speak of the attractive
ness of woman, we really mean tho
attractiveness of woman to man.
"With men the question of when a
woman Is most attractive Is doubly
complicated, because it depends not
only on the woman, but on the taste
of the man himself. Not many years
ago, If this question had been asked,
the answer would havo been un
hesitantly made that a woman is most
attractive between the ages of 1C
and 20. Most of tho heroines of
classical fiction are mere children.
"It must be confessed that, with
rare exceptions, the modern man pre
fers something moro sophisticated
than sweet 10, though it is undeni
able that the intelligent woman is at
her best when she Is in her teens.
This is easily understood.
"Almost all young creatures are
beautiful, and heaven gives to even
the homeliest women a day of
grace between 10 and 18, when she
is pretty with the prettlness of fresh
cheeks and dewy eyes and glossy
hair.
"Twenty-three Is an ideal time of
the clock for the woman of average
Intelligence and pulchritude, unless
she happens to be college bred. If
she has had tho misfortune of acquir
ing the higher education she is still
top-heavy with learning a,nd self
esteem over having discovered the
ancient Greeks and Romans, and it
requires ten years moro for her to
find out that, for a woman to be thor
oughly charming she should havo
had a good education and forgotten
it.
"For tho woman, however, who Is
meant to ho human nature's dally
food, no age is more attractive than
23. Sho Is in the first flush of hav
ing just arrived. Tho slim promises
of girlhood havo been realized In the
full beauty of womanhood. Sho still
is Innocent, but no longer ignorant.
"Her intercourse with the opposite
sex has a certain frankness and com
radeship that is not the least of her
charms. Sho seems so safe that she
Is deadly dangerous,. Statistics show
that moro women marry at 23 than
at any other ago.
"Tho bachelor woman Is at her
best at 30, becauso she is consciously
charming. Sho has all tho advant
ages with which nature originally
equipped her, and sho has added to
them tho frills and furbelows of art.
Sho has learned to enhance her good
looks by better dressing and to put
a red shado on tho lamp and sit with
hor back to tho light. Sho has also
learned how to talk, and better still,
how to bo a fascinating listener."
