WOMEN ARE BAD LOSERS. That Is Why, It Is Said, Stock Brokars Fight Shy of Them. Nobody loves n stock broker, least of all his customers. This affords a touching. If somewhat subtle, reason why he does not want any women speculators on his books. There Is another reason. I hate to mention it. but you wring It from me. Women are not good losers. At times, under stress of great speculative losses, I am told tUey become lachrymose. The one stock broker of my acquaint ance who catered to women specula tors is now In a madhouse.

Copyright, 1913. by American Prtu Ano- ciation.) IT seemed to Ruth as she flew for the dozenth time to her telephone that dreary ufternoon of the day before Christmas that the bad friends in the grim old city of which she hud never known until then true friends, even if they were humble and too poor to do more than telephone their good wishes. This special message was from Ruth's proprietor. Could ho call that evening? Ruth's "Of course not, Mr. Mayne," was firm. Could be take her out then o dinner somewhere, the theater? Just this once, for Christ mas' sake? Ruth's refusals as trans mitted by the telephone were all firm and relentless. But as she came away and sat down In ber chair by the win dow her eyes were wistful. "It will never do for the proprietor to call upon his stenographer." she said, with a sorry little smile, "To be sure, there was a time" when he was her father's clerk-"but times have changed." Perhaps because it was Christmas eve, when memories, no matter how well behaved nt other times and sea sons, will walk abroad; perhaps be cause other things such as love, Joy. peace and good will were thronging heaven and earth below; perhaps only because Ruth was tired and perplex HEB REFUSALS WEIiE FIBM AND RELENT LESS. ed and lonely whatever the tenson sittlnc there lu her little window, looking down upon the street with its throng of gay, good natured shoppers Ruth did what she had sternly forbid den herself to do she went back over the years which had made such changes In her life. There was her father's business disgrace, the loss of every- thlni followed bv his death. Then came her own beginning in business In spite of herself, ituth smiled to think of what her old friends would say could they know what a capable little business woman necessity had made of her. But not one of them nil knew where she was. Not one had traced her to this great city-that Is, except Jack. Jack? As soon as Ruth admit ted that name into her thoughts, it dominated all else It brought back its owner-strong, manly, Insistent one of the won't-take-no-for-au-answer kinu Ruth found herself wondering almost that Jack had taken her no as tinul Apparently he had. It had surely been as strong as she could make it And he had gone n wny and had not come buck. With the many friends who had rung up to ask bow she was and to say "Merry Christmas" there had been no Jack-Jack of the strong face, the loyal heart, the tender eyes and voice How had she ever let him go? "Some time you will want me. Ruth." be had said. Above.the rush and roar of the great city Ruth heard the words I again Just as she had heard them ev ' ery day and every night since Jack ' had gone away. "1 could urge you now. ! but I want you of your own free will. dear. And you will come some day. 1 do not even need to ask a promise I i know. What Is ours does come to us. ' f we wait. I can wait" That was three years ago. At first ! Ruth had half expected bis return. But he never came And he never sent ! ber n word Ruth w-ns tired of watch ing the malls now And ber prouu ui tie bend told 'her eager little heart that It was not fair to call Jack back Just because life was hard and lonely and almost unbearable sometimes. So she toiled nway until toil became work work that he tnjoyed She had her little rooms by herself, ber books her pictures, enough to eat find wear What more need any one ask? Noth ine-except at Christmas At Christ mas to a woman, love Is a necessity. That night. In the mlddie of the darkest hour. Ruth sat up straight In bed She was absolutely sure that the telephone bell over her dek had Just rung All was still, so. after a min ute of waiting, she lay dow again, langhing to herself. The telephone bad been so busy nil day bringing her messages that she had heard It In her S Cn vi f ' x ' Y" ' M v y v - 1 V V v dreams. It could not really have rung. After a little she drowsed off. only to bear its shrill Jingle agnln and again. It no longer wakened her. But in ber dream she went to the tele- j phone, took down the receiver and Us- i tened. Out of the darkness and dis tance a voice sioke Jack's Toica j "Merry Christmas" was its only mos-; sage. But so strong and clear were ' the words that when Ruth finally j awoke to a sunny Chrlstmns morn-1 ing. she still tingled to their memory. I Perhaps, when one first awakes, the i heart has more control over one than the head. Anyhow, when Ruth sat up j and looked out of her window at the ; already busy streets far below her, her 1 heart was doing the talking. 1 "Jack is waiting for you some-1 where." it said. "And he belongs to! you. Why not claim your own?" I After a minute Ruth's heart spoke again "What if you are poor? What if he is not rich? Can't two work to gether better than apart? Why not j give Jack a Christinas gift? The only one he wants?" Ruth did not give her head time to argue with her heart. As soon as she was dressed she was at the telephone giving Jack's business number. After she had waited what seemed a long, long time her bead did remind her. "Why. of course." she said slowly, "he will be up country today." She was Just about to bang up the receiver. "Walt a minute." cried her heart Ilearts do know things, especially at Christmas And then "Hello!" said a big. hearty voice out of the distance. "Oh. Jackl" cried Ruth. "Is it you. really you?" "Yes. Ruth." Mid the voice. "Who else? Yon wanted" "To wish you a merry Christmas, Jack." Ruth faltered. "Thanks. That all?" "Yes." said Ruth, listening to her head. Then: "No not quite. I I want ed to hear your voice; that's all." "Is It?" asked the voice Ruth wanted to hear "You see, Jack." Ruth hurried on. "I dreamed nbout you Inst night I I thought you called me up. nnd and it was only a dream." "I came so near It," said the voice, "that I stood hero by my phone for an hour. But It was late, and well. Ruth, I wanted you to call me up this- time." "You're not in the country?" "Not yet We go tonight" "We?" "Mother and I. She's spending part of Chrlstmns in tho city. But we miss the snow and the slelghbells and the homo folks." "It sounds lovely." cried Ruth, "and so Chrlstmnsy. Give your mother my love. Jack, and wish her the merriest Chrlstmns." "She'll be glad to hear from you, V" ,. SITTING IN UEK LITTLE WINDOW. Ruth; we've been talking of you. Any thing else?" "No." "Sure, dear?" Ruth's eyes were so full of tears that as she said nfterward. she couldn't see to talk. "Sure, dear?" asked the voice again. "That's all." she said bravely, "only are you well?" "Perfectly. And you?" "Oh. yes: Wasn't it strange I heard the bell when you didn't really ring up Inst night. Jack?" "No," said Jack firmly. "Your heart heard mine, little girl, if only yon would listen to It oftcner." "I can't always bear It." laughed Ruth "My head Is such i good bilker." "Time's up." said a strange voice somewhere "Goodby, Jack, dear!" cried Ruth But there was no answer. Tho next minute she again took down the receiver. "Get 38m; again; quick:" sho said. "Hello!" said Jack's voice. "Is that you. Jack?" "Of course. Something you forgot dear?" "No; I didn't forget I wouldn't say It. but I must Don't look nt ne. Jack. but listen. I'm listening to my heart now. There Is something I want Jack." "Yes." "It's a big something. Guess. No; don't guess Walt It's you." Ruth hung up the receiver and ranto the chair by the window quite tho other side of the room It was not quite a minute when the telephone bell rang shrilly. "Is this Miss llazeii?" said tho oper ator's voice. "Yes." said Ruth. "Messuge wnsu't finished wait" "Hello:" .-iii,:e .lack's voice, big. strong, vibrant wlMi happiness. "That you.

Miss Edith Mac Vane, daughter of Dr. Silas MacVane, a Harvurd professor emeritus, com plulutd today to the United States embassy here that her sister Dorothy, an opera singer, was under surveil lance by the Italian authorities at Taranto, suspected of belug a French spy. Her theory was that the young American woman aroused Italian suspicions by visits, purely ot curi osity, to the naval piers and forti fications at Brindlsi and elsewhere. Hen father, seriously ill in Rome, knew nothing ot his daughter's dif ficulty. The embassy expected to ask a government investigation. LIES i.INST TRUTH DO NOT CONSTITUTE A CONTROVERSY Some ask what is the present status of tho Polar Controversy? Since Lies against the Truth do not constitute a controversy There is no Controversy. Engineer Peary's first statements of his attainment ot tho North Pole wero four short cablegrams dated Indian Head, Labrador, Septem ber C, 1909, to the Associated Tress, New York City. The cablegrams wero published In the New York Herald of September 7, 1909. It Is a well known fact that everything Peary cabled or wrote to newspapers conies subsequent to Dr. Cook's original cablegram account publish ed on September 2, 1909. This fact makes Peary's position tho exact re verse of Dr. Cook's. Cook, when ha penned his cablegram announcing the conditions at the North Pole, could not have turned for Informa tion to Peary, nor to anyouo elso In the world; Peary, on the contrary, when be penned his original state ments could, like everyone else In the world, have turned for informa tion to Cook's statements which wero already printed and under the public eye. Files of the New York Herald of September 'I, 1909, can be con sulted at any of the largo public libraries, giving Dr. Cook'B deacrlp' tion of tho North Pole, whereas not a newspaper throughout the length and breadth ot the world can be' found that prints one word from I Peary bearing upon his attainment, ot the Pole until five days later, I.e., September 7, 1909. There can never bo the slightest question but that Dr. Cook was the first to record an attainment of tho North Pole. it is thus established as a his torical fact that Cook was tho first man to give tho world an account of the North Pole. Quoted from "The North Pole and Bradley Land," by Edwin Swift Balch, scientist of Philadelphia. For further information see Dr. Cook's book, "My Attainment of the Pole," a copy of which can be se cured from The Courier. Seo coupon published elsewhere in this Issue. I'ekin, Dec. 15.

Chinese Chri tiaus to the number of 170 today took preliminary steps toward th organization of a Christian church, to bo free of foreign control. At a called meeting of the Nanking Evan gelical Association they decided to, lound such a church to meet the wants of the students of Christianity, and to draw into the church all edu cated young men who profess to be Christians, but who do not attend any of the existing churches. This action is the outcome of a rousing revival which foreign missionaries held here last spring. Thousands of Chines attended and 400 signed cards to Indicate their desire to study Christianity. One hundred and seT enty of these objected to Joining churches which were dominated by foreigners. Tlu plan. to organise a native controlled church followed. The foreign missionary body held several discussions over the action nnd appointed a committee to assist the Chinese In drawlr-pr up the ne cessary constitution. 4 WIRE BRIEFS. Portland, Dec. 16.
