He found the Instrument in good condition and not In the least need of attention. A few days later the firm received a letter from the owner of the piano, a lady of musical intention, saying that the piano had not been properly tuned. It was no better than before. After receiving a reprimand from his employer the hapless tuner made another trip to the suburbs and again tested every note only to find, ns before, no fault with the Instrument. This time he told the lady so. "Yes," she said, "it does seem all right, doesn't It, when you play on it, but as soon as I begin to sing it gets nil out of tune again." he Ate His Own Words.

Kenworthy, in delivering a paper on "Socialism and Religion," before the members of the Richmond Ministerial association at their regular meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Prof. Kenworthy gave quite a detailed account of the mutual relations of socialism and religion, showing the causes for disagreement. In opening his address Prof. Ken worthy stated that, as no complete definition of socialism, satisfactory to all parties interested, had ever been made, it was best to use the word "collectivism," which included the principles of municipal ownership and the other economic ideas of the socialists. There is really no antagonism between Christianity and "collectivism," said Prof. Kenworthy, for Christianity can adjust itself to a socialistic govern ment just as in the past it has been forced to meet the advance of oligar chies, monarchies, and republics. TO GET NO PAY Teachers of the city, town and district schools of the county will receive no pay for attending the Indilana State Teachers association meetings at Indianapolis during the holidays. The law permits pedagogues to receive pay for only three days during the school year when they are not actually occupied with their classes. The teachers have already taken advantage of two of these off days with pay. The city schools will close for the holiday vacation on Thursday evening, while the rural schools will close Friday evening, preceeding Christmas. The opening will be on January 2.

L AT COEil D'ALENE Ministers of Idaho City Are Supporting the Odd Experiment. (National News Association) SPOKANE, Wash.. Dec. 11. Ministers of nearly every denomination have assured Mayor Wood and the council of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 34 miles east of here, of their support in a plan to establish a municipal saloon in that city, instead of issuing individual licenses. Many residents of the city also are in favor of giving the innovation a full trial. Alderman Barrett has issued a statement to the people of Coeur d'Alene, saying in part: "Seme of our citizens object to the municipal saloon on the ground that it 'would put the saloon in politics.' In my opinion exactly the reverse is true, as it will be readily conceded by those who have by experience and observation noted the political activity of the liquor interests on all matters which they consider would even remotely affect their interests. "Nominally, the public officials are supposed to regulate the liquor traffic, but in reality are often regulated by it. Other objections are that the city would lose money because of grafting politicians and dishonest employes. There is no doubt that some loss would occur through these agencies, even as it occurs In private business, but a systematic check and balance system could be instituted and surety bonds required of all who handle money. The working out of the system is purely a matter of detail. "There is nothing in the constitution or statutes of idaho that forbids a city engaging in a mercantile business; yet there is no law specifically authorizing a city so to engage, so in all probability, should the city of Coeur d'Alene go ahead with the proposed municipal saloon, whether at would be permitted to proceed is a matter for the courts of the state to decide."

WOMEN HAVE RIGHT TO

Art Bears No Relation to Personality in the World's Judgment. The Egotism of Bachelors and. the Complacence of Spinsters.

You often hear It said of feminine . celebrities: j "But above all, beyond all, she; placed the duties of wife and mother, i She never forgot the sacred trust in her charge. Her art was made sub- j servient. When it came to a ques- j tion between art and motherhood and wifehood tho latter triumphed." Or to such offset. This is the most nauseating sort of drivel that can be posthumously tagged to talent to be alliterative or to a producer in the arts. Why, in heaven's name, don't you hear it said of some masculine genius "But above all, beyond all, ha placed the duties of husband and father. He never forgot the sacred tni6t in his charge. When it cams to a question between his art and husbandhood and fatherhood the latter triumphed." Did you ever hear that last? Not so you could notice it, to lapse into the vernacular. By the way, while "wifehood" is a familiar word this is the first time the writer ever saw "husbandhood" in .print. If it's new, it can be regarded as having been coined on the instant. If it isn't new, then why does it have an awkward sound as of something whose hinges creak with rust? (The truth is there is a good 'deal of what is termed "bally rot," as the English say, floating around on the printed page and on the platform about the "duties" of women. But it emanates, originates from the other side of the chasm where dwells Man in mighty majesty sitting in judgment on Woman. For a bottomless chasm divides the sexes. It narrows at times and hands are stretched across and clasped, but it has never been bridged and never will be. Men and women walk along its opposite edges in the same direction and most of them think they're together. But it's an illusion. From his incomparable vantage of natural isolation man regards woman severely. If she doesn't perform those ce'ebrated "duties of wife and mother" he puts a brand on her. A woman who isn't married even In this day of comparative freedom has to endure a certain contumely. She must, perforce, be put into an apologetic position toward society a sort of defiant attitude. She must endure the ridicule, the sneers, the coarse jokes, not of the uncou, but of her friends and relatives. If the latter were to be told that their attitude toward marriage was, in this manner, shown to b inexpressibly debased, they would rise up and do a double moral dido. But it is inexcusably and detestably vulgar and in their hearts they know it! But it arises from the innate and deep-seated impulse of the human animal to torment and bait and harrv one of his own defenseless kind and the artificial impulse of society to point the finger of scorn at the woman who hasn't "done herduty as wife and mother." "All women should marry," says the bachelor at the club, lounging back in his padded chair and reaching for a nearby tray upon which which reposes a tall glass of irridescent charm and tinkling ic. "It's her sacred duty to rear a family," he murmurs, as the irridesdence bubbles down his throat. "A spinster is a disgrace to society. She is an anomaly innature,' he goes on. "She has no place in our economic scheme. She is a parasita she encumbers the earth she " "Why don't you marry Sal?" asked the married man with his heels on the table. "What, me!" cries the bachelor indignantly, if ungrammatically. "Sure," replied the married man.

"It would relieve the local situation anyway. Sal's been crazy to get mar- ! ried for " "Forty years," says married man No. two waking up and calling for a : light or was it a drink? j "Aren't you kinda hard on Sal?" ' asked a nondescript at the other end of the room. "It can't be more'n . twenty-five. I used to go to school : with Sal. Sal wasn't a bad looking ' girl, either. She was, 1 admit, al-! ways fond of me and I " "Why you blank egotist," shouted the bachelor, "Sal never cared a dummy-dum about you. It was me I could 'a had her any time for the i las " . " ft i "Be careful," said the first mar-1 ried man. I "Well, anyway," growled the bach- ! elor, "I'm not going to marry Sal at j this stage of the game. Never intend j to marry anybody too much responsibility. Besides, if I do it won't ba : an old thing like Sal. I want some-: thing young and pretty say! did you see that little Hoskins girl at.; the dance the other evening? Isn't i she a peach? and the swell figure! j M m m!" murmured the (bachelor ; reminiscently. j "There you are," said the first j married man, "cursing women for j ceiling if any one suggests you marry yourself and laying it into Sal. It isn't Sal's fault she ain't married." "No, b'gosh," grinned the nondescript one. jf JJ: "No, Sal in mine." said the bacheiui , tstajjiug lu a iieai uy apariuicui, from whence issued the alluring j sound of the rhumb player slapping I his card on the bare table. "By the way," said the nondescript one, "why don't you married men spend your evenings at home if you're so strong on marriage." The married men read their papers. They ignored the nondescript one. This, however, is about the way things go. Sal, in the meantime, may have been pursuing her solitary way enjoyably enough, unaware of the fact that several men were complacently assuring any one who might care to hear that she had always been crazy about them and it was only for lack of opportunity that she had not run them down and cornered them permanently. Sal was, in fact, teaching school, getting a better salary than most of her bachelor contemporaries, going to Europe every summer and had as little desire to tie herself up in a domestic relation as the bachelor at the club. Indeed, Sal was heard to say, at some woman's thing, when the bachelor and the nondescript one were on the board, that both of them had been infatuated with her for years, but she wouldn't look at eith-

anybody else. "Me or nothing," also grinned Sal. It's all in the point of Tiew. To return to the woman producer in the arts. The artistic output should not be judged in its relation to the writer's social affiliations. Harriet Beecher Stcwe, In instance, although not a great literary artist, was nonetheless a wife and mother than, Byron, say, was a husband and father. If Mrs. Stowe happened to be a good wife and mother and Byron a bad husband and father thesa were mere personal Idiosyncracta and had nothing to do with their art. There is no attitude which so unrristakablv indicates the narrow and provincial as that which refuses recognition to genius, or gives it grudgingly, becaaise of any faults or vices incident to personality. What if Poe drank? He was nonetheless a marvelous poet, a superlative critic and a great imaginative genUis. (The truth is that Poe's physique and temperament lent themselves to the excitation of alcoholic stimulant as the wire does to the electric shock. A single drink would set him mad. To judge his art on the basis of a temperamental affection or affliction is just about as just and logical as to say that because the mooa shines at night the Socialist ticket will be elected. And so far as women are concerned they have just as much right to live their lives as they choose, if they keep within the pale of social law, as do men. A woman owes no greater obligation to society than does a man. If she prefers to follow the development of her individuality rather Wan succumb to natural law that is her own lookout. But the attitude of men toward ber will remain the same till the crack of doom. And that attitude is reproach toward woman unless she assists ' in perpetuating the race. " Arabia's Wild Horses.
