WOA113N, as n 1 tile, like to shltk responsibility,, men may feel the same way, but they cn diavor to conceal tho weak ness. Gcncial Giant was one of tho few who admitted such a re luctance. It was when for tho llrst time lie was to tonduct 11 teglmeiit Into an eiiguge'iiient. He would nut have been ufinld to fight under nnothei's dliection, but conlessed that he was afraid to command others In such an Impoitnnt affair. Afterward he found out that Cedonel Han Is, ngalnst whom he had expected to do battle, had been e'qually In fear of meeting him, and had evaded 11 conlllct, and ever after Gen cial Giant declined that he lost that eliead whli h had but dined him on this occasion, as he le.illzed that the enemy was Just as vtilneinble as himself and i'peilc!ued the same feai.s. Women often wouldn't lnlnJ making attacks if it weie not for the fear that they might get hit hack. They .lie mine Impulsive than men nnd theivfoie moie swift to wish to vUlt sudden lettibutlon on the pet son or the measuii', or the object which excites their lie. Genoially speaking they run olf to onlUt somebody else to do i-ome-thllig about It. If the milk Is poor, if their neighbor keeps hlckens nnd a Pig, if the cross-walks an- filthy (they've gtown so used to that condi tion in tills town that it falls to eelte comment), if the minister pleaches too long, if di Iv eis ovtiload their teams and If theii favoiite candidate, (he Is a man who nlwas goes to chtncli) isn't elect I'd, tlwy want somebody to make .somebody else do something about It. It is only when they fotm a club that they get coinage to make peisonal at tacks on obnoxious customs or meas uies. Tlun they legard the lesponsl bllltyas divided. Hou Is wheic the newspaper comes In. nnd bete is where men and women aie Just alike in their theories. Th y huth teed that the newspaper should take up their giievances. Women, howeiei, aie supeiior in one lespcct, they do not nlwavs write letters to the paper nnd sign them "Constant Heael er" or "Subtcilber," and dc-maml tint they shdll lie piloted tho next 11101 n ing, but they do think that the paper .should s ly something on their side. The man who mioses his car, who slips on the pavement, w ho sees a tramp or notices an automobile or a beer wagon being dilven tlunugh the streets at a higher late ot sliced than he believes should be allowed, natuially feels that the newspaper should take up the mat ter. If ho believes tint It Is going to be hauler wotk to watch six school con tiolleiii than twenty-one, or that the iladuct is too expensive a luxury for Hie city to own. or that some of th" ollliials of the municipality lequlre n pilvati' detective agency attached, he natuially desieh the paper to make a eominotlon about it. Women aie just tiie same. I would be 111 self, only the editor piefeis to lrive fie!) body connected with the paper tn take- petMinal lights to some other olUee', but women in gen eial think a paper is too mean for nny ihlng if st icfuses to be tho medium for ah lug their giievaiiies. if h m in Is nide and disagieeable to his wile thej think he should be held up to sioin in the papei. of eoir.se anonv niousiy, and so their identity lould now 1 be dlsilosed as oomojing the Infoi mallnii, but just so that he would ii'.illzo who is meant. . If a woman Hilts with her filend's husband she should be wiltten up in thu .same vague and eaieful manner, if they have sufteied an alleged slight at the hands ot sumo society leader, 'cei tain details in the family hlstoiy ot thit poi son should be leealli'd to her memoiy iluoiigli tljo columns of the pi ess, in', eldents lu the career of some' physician of miothei school than that favoted by thems-elics, should be told the public in pi Int and fainllv sketihes be'onglug to leilalu politicians should be dangled fioin a sea'ic head on the Hist luge. Now, It Is only occasional! that ou Hud a paper looking for tinuble, and it is leasonably suie to be giatliled in Its scai eh, Consideiable fault Is ottin lotind with the leputuble newspipeis beiause they publish so much about people, but the pi'isonalltles which are dally biouglu to the edltoi's desk and which never aie pi luted, ate the things which, would make the- sensations. 13v eiy paper has a dally oppoituulty to disiupt homes, business llims, chinches, and ollleial life, to end important nigotiatloiis, to luln llnanee and wieck individual faith and confidence in hu manity. Tiie golden lule Is piobably applied moie in a newspaper olllce than nn when- else on the' tuce of the eaith, not excepting own the mlulsti's stud. Don't ou le-el so b.ul then when our tavoilte paper falls to pi Int a disser tation to tho effect that umtheis In kSeianton nefUct their ehlldieu to an exttemej degiee and lu high society ns well ns that of the middle class, aie not looking after their daughteis health or amusements as they should: that physicians often cany disease to their patients and that some women talk too iniHli, Said a little lady tho other dav "Do wiite something about tho l.nrild per son in tiie beaidlng house who is con tinually miking houLle'when other wise eeibodv would hf at peace.

In other woide, I am to start forth fault-tlnd-Ing ami hcnlding, I h iven't uuv quriiol with thehiaid lug liouse bete nolr, Heaidliic houses arc a necessary evil. They nro some thing wo must huvo and many of them are admirably conducted and probably home-like, hut occm-lonally they do . bring supreme mihnncen within too I cloe range. An unde-lrnble neighbor 1 can be hut outside tho door when ton tlieomo: nn unpleisint business part ner may be abandoned by means of dissolution piocess Infelicitous daugh ters and sons may bo married off whero thev cons' tn trouble us. I3irn uncon genial cooks or 'wli'cs or husbands may bo dispensed with. At some rost of time and trouble, t'o be sure', still such a feat may bo accomplished, Hut tho uncomfortable wonnn In tho boarding house Is there to stay. If wo remove to another place behotd thera Is her prototype. There Is no escaping her, and the re'tson who hopes to Unit some hnven wheru this evil has not penettateil may as well give up tho elusive Idea and make the hist of th last location. It Is a tholee between the disturbing element in the hoanlln-; house or the onu In the kitchen of hla own lesldetice. It alwn.s docs pecm n pltv to see a bride bury all her beautiful Ideals, her ambitious mid hopes In the sordlj surroundings of 11 big boarding1 house. If Ihe average ouii!t man were wlsj ho would llee from their environments for the Hist year of married life at least, for tho sake of the fair girl win may enter Into the vapid, useless gos siping wavs of the botrdlng houps agitator anil Anally become an agitator herself.

A Visit to an Establishment That Is Not Often Inspected, from Good Wad". The hat em lnf which we spent a couple of eiajs stood a few miles out of Cnlio in the center of a laige w.ill suiroundeel g.uden, planted with date palms, olive trees, mange gloves with melon and goutd bids miming among them. On atilvlng at the haiem ct.u elen we weie admitted Into Its paiadl-o of shade and itst by a heavydooi way and a leneiablo old potentate, wh had headed our pioiesslon on an ass, and at this Junctuie our bod guar I abandoned us, remaining without the walls, while we weie lett to make our way alone toward the group of women whom we saw appioachlng by the stone-flagged walk that led to the house. They weie evidently tlu wives of our fiiend whose invitation to visit his haiem had given us nn oppoituu lty of .satisfing in a slight degiee the Inteiest we- had long felt as to pilvate life in eastern eountile-s. These ladles Weie dressed In loose gowns of llgurcd cotton, led and el low shoes w'ithout heels, and scarfs of all tolots. Some of tho younger ones were handsome, being" not much blow ti er In the fare than those of Spanish Intlgin, while their murvelouslv eiect 1 nguies gave them an appearance of Rieat dignity.
