WOMAN TO EMANCIPATE MAN Time, Says M Finot In “The Eternal Feminine," to Throw Off Yoke of Eternal Feminine. • ■— Taris. —M. Jean Finot, in his new i book, "The E’ernal Feminine,” reach- 1 es the startling conclusion that it is I man and not woman who needs emancipation Man must proclaim his independence, he declares; for thousands of years he has borne the yoke of the eternal feminine; It is high time that he fought for his freedom from , woman, who, by law and custom, keeps him a slave to her emotions and caprices. He thus begins; “All our trouble can be traced to the Church Council, which was rash enough to deciare that woman had a soul. Man originally knew well enough that woman was his inferior, but as time went on one man out of pride and vainglory boasted that he had a handsome mate. Another at once boasted that he had a handsomer. The men then begin to dress them up in fine feathers out of sheer rivalry. "When a rib was taken out of Adam during his sleep—lt was a mean thing to have done —Adam, I imagine, felt nervous at the sight of the first strange creature, Eve. "He climbed up a tree, no doubt, and looked at her as his feet were dangling from the branch on which he sat. She was lying in the grass, basking in the sun, already showing her disposition to idle away her time. “Driven out of Paradise, Adam had to work to support her. When he returned after a hard day’s work Eve ■ said to him: • “ ‘See, I have also been working! Look how pretty 1 am! 1 have made myself a beautiful dress of leaves. I discovered a lovely pink shell with which to polish my nails —see how they are shining. Why don’t you admire my headgear? Isn't it lovely? Don’t you like these birds’ wings? Ah, this new life of ours is hard, but I shall j have courage. lam looking well, am 1 I not? I slept a little when the sun was high. But you seem to be depressed. You are not at all cheerful, my poor Adam Ah, I see you cannot bear up against misfortune as well as myself. Come and smile.” “Adam heaved a sigh and tried to 1 smile.” | KANSAS STRAW IS NUISANCE Santa Fe Road Officials Experiment to Find Some Way It Can Be Used. Topeka, Kan.—" The greatest need In some method by which straw may be utilized,” said J. H. Koontz, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway. “We need some plan of getting rid of the straw left on the fields after the threshing is done.” Hoping to solve the problem, the Santa Fe officials have been having experiments conducted with a view of making a satisfactory fuel for stoves and furnaces from straw by treating It with fuel oil and compressing it into blocks. Mr. Koontz estimates that along the line of the Santa Fe alone 20,000 acres of wheat land is wasted on account of the straw stacks. "Straw is of little value as feed,’’ he says, "and of no value as fertilizer until it has rotted. It takes a long time for that. Burning a stack takes several days’ time and leaves the ground under it in a useless condition for years.” GAME LAWS FOR 125 YEARS United States Biological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Summarizes Them. Washington.—The record of the United States during the last 125 years in the way of game protection is summarized in a publication just prepared by the biological survey, department of agriculture. The department keeps close track of game laws passed by the different states and of how they work, so that it can generally tell an inquirer in a moment whether a proposed law is good or bad, because some state has tried it. The new book notes that the English sparyow was protected by law for many years after it was brought to this country, and even in the District of Columbia until 1899, fourteen years after the establishment of the biological survey, which is charged with supervision of the federal game protection laws DYING, GETS AID IN ODD WAY Helpless Missourian Attracts Neighbor by Hurling Shoe Through Window. St Joseph, Mo.—Feeling himself to be dying, following a stroke of apoplexy while in bed, Frank N. Devores, fifty-two years old, vice-president and general manager of the Richardson Dry Goods company, failed to attract the attention of his wife in a neigl boring room. Rousing up and get tin, out of bed he seized a shoe and witl a last effort hurled it through a win dow and against the house of a neighbor. The latter crawled out his own bedroom window and assisted the dy Ing man back into bed, where he passed away before medical aid could reach him. Dog Chews Tobacco.

Algernon, but I think they might be.” replied Mr. Topfloor, “you’d better go to your sister's house as quickly as you can and tell her not to take them.”

“I cayn' leabe dis heah elebator at de presum’ time, no how. dere s too much ’pendin’ on me fo' dat. Yessah, I could ast de janitor to run it fo* me fo’ a half hour or so. I nevah fought o’ dat.

I come tell yo’ de ’suit ob de vestigation, des’ soon as I know myse’f, t'ank yo’ sah,” concluded Algernon as the elevator passed down the shaft out of sight. An hour later Algernon appeared at the Topfloors’ door and announced beamingly: “It’s all right, sah. De jan Itor he resented to run the elebator fo’ me w'ile I went to ’vestigate bout de pills. It’s a mighty queer t’ing, Mistoh Topflo’. My sister she hadn't took oneob dem pills ob mine She say she has de queeres’ ticklin’ in de p’am of her raight han’ dat tol’ her de pills wasn’t hers, an’ dey couldn't git her to swaller one, no how.
