The man with the muckrake has Seft the United States, at least for aiwlille, and gone to Canada. Ac tcording to him, $10,000,000 was lost 5a one year In the Canadian federal departments through overpayment Sar supplies. A political lntermedi EtrxTitSt. John received as a commis sion on one small contract $35,000, -which was charged to the govern ment. In 48 out of the 90 Ontario snals "tho people were publicly lirihca" by promises of local Im provements and In nine seats the ateelDrate was threatened with the deprivation of public party In power. ""lYine, women and works If, they did Dot support the graft" accusations tinve beenreely made. "Says the Toronto correspondent of The JJew York Tribune: "Whenever a man can make $1000, $5000, $10, 4)00 or $30,000 on a sale of some Brijjil to the government, or as a go Zietwecn In matters of public patron age, he seems to think nothing of the moral side of the affair." "Yet In 1873 a tumult spread over fibc Dominion when It was proved thai the government of Sir John Mac clonald had received campaign con tributions from would-be railway contractors, and the grand old man vent down in defeat. Mercer of "Quebec was overwhelmingly beaten iSar a similar reason. Slower but no acss certain was the retribution which -.ovwtook that Ontario government which had remained In power by vlr j!uc of stuffed ballot boxes. In the opinion of the Tribune cor Trcspondent, the passion for material 'Clencflts has taken so strong a hold on Canadians that the politician most 3SkcHy to get their votes Is he who "will make promises almost as ex JSravagant as those satirized by the TpoeU XTI promise you sunshine, I'll promise you rain; 3HI promise you fabulous prices for grain; Z'll promise you music by day or by night; 311 promise you beauty and sweet ness anil light.

"The Ideal Home" delightful thought Is what I much desire; Some spot with simple pleasure fraught To which I may retire. Where I may follow every bent, Where none will say ne nay, Where all my family consent To let me have my way. A dwelling where the rooms are large, But where the rent is small, Where tradesmen never overcharge Or boring neighbors call, A house that's cosy In the frost, But shady In July; A home where keys are never lost And babies never cry. A place where servants always suit And serve us with delight; A garden full of flowers and fruit AVhere midges never bite; Where nights are calm and midnight cats Refrain from repartee. In short, where nothing worries, that's The Ideal Home for me. Selected. THERE probably never lived a man who didn't flatter himself that he understood women. "They're a puzzle, of course, to most men, but I think I know a lit tle about them," one hears him say in a lordly, superior sort of way. There is only one answer to be made to this satisfied gentleman. The man who thinks he knows most about women really knows least. In point of fact, It Is Impossible for any man, however clever and experi enced, fully to understand woman. One woman he may learn a little of very little and then he Is contin ually taken aback by new develop ments in her on which he has not calculated; but let him only begin to apply the knowledge so learned to his treatment of another of the same sex, and he will be bewildered and confounded to discover that tho same rules will not apply to them both. Shakespeare, who had a subtler In sight into human nature than any writer who ever lived, was right when he said of woman: "Time can not stale her infinite variety." And it is this very complexity of char acter, this fleeting change of mood and disposition, which makes her so desperately perplexing to slower witted man. To the ordinary man she is a per fectly sealed book. "I can't make her out at all." "She is a mass of contradictions," "She never does or says what you expect." ' These aro a few of tho plaints made by men about the girls in whom they begin to take a special interest. If she wero constructed on tho slmplo lines of a man In mind and heart, her lover would better know how to win her; but, In that case, It Is to bo doubted whether ho would care to take the. trouble. It Is her bewildering and puzzling na ture that makes her chief charm in his eyes. "Do you understand women?" asked a timid youth of a man who had seen tho world. "Oh, yes; I understand that there's no understanding them, and that Is as far as a man can ever get," was the crushing answer. Women understand each other with such ease; they read each other's motives and interpret aright tholr looks and tones and unspoken speech It Is all such plain sailing to them that they look on with a kind of compassion on a man's blundering Ignorance of the sex. That Is why a woman who is popular among mon Is so very often quite the other thing with women. The poor, doluded men who take hex precisely at tho valua tion she Intends them to can not comprehend why her own sox can not soo her many lovely qualities, and, vv a In their blindness, they complacently set down the reason to jealousy. The 1 real fact Is that the woman can't de- I j C3lve women, try as she may. They reau uer mruugii uuu iiiiuugu, uiiu estimate her accordingly. That men never have fully under- stood women is plain to any one who R00ke, Blanche Landrith, Flo Rooke, has made a study of the male no- Lallan Sherman, Eva Sherman, Ina vellsts' works. Even the foremost an(j jiary Sherman and Messrs. names In the profession have this Schley Sherman, Ivy Noah, N. Noah,' one point of weakness. Their women Dav3 Sherman, Beryl Noah, James are admirably painted from the out- , Mcintosh, Philip Landrith, Lee Ray, side. They are charming very often, ' CHfton Sherman, Leonard Russell, and attractive and full of grace. 3eorge Rooke, Paul Sherman, Rob Thoy move and walk about the stage ert R00ke, Maurice Ray, Claudo and conduct themselves in a lifelike Havlland, Karl Cllnkenbeard, Law manner enough, but any woman can rence Russell and A'alentlne Sher- see that, after all, they are only pasteboard dummies; they lack the touch of Promethean fire that would make them flesh and blood. Christmas entertainments were the chief events In a social way dur ing the past Week. There were sev eral large parties and many smaller affairs and dinners. The Millicoma club party and the fireman's ball were among the most important events of the week. m a The program given AVednesday night at the Finnish hall by the Cha mlnade club Is declared by many to have been one of the best musicales ever given on Coos Bay.
