Truth Highest Ideals of
Honesty Received
Lovers From Mother
By ISABELLE HATCH O'NEILL
F "women are poets who believe their own poetry"-.-and fe
will be inclined to quarrel with that definition-does it n(
follow that a woman, thoroughly convinced that what she
saying is the truth, even though man by his logic proves it.
be false, cannot be called untruthful?
A woman is guided to truth largely by her intuition;
man by his logic. To woman the modern world is a neN
strange thing. She grasps neither the meaning nor the nece
sity of law, business, philosophy, politics, mathematics. 'I
her logic is only a naine-a man's way of looking at thing
In her own mind woman envelops her acts in a bright ilnd ideal atmo
here, and thus often sees a high motive in what a int would call di
onorable.
It has often been assertcd that on the witness stand a woman wi
lore lightly commit perjury than a man. This, however, does not pro
:1at she is dishonest. It' only shows that a trained lawyer is more clov
-Ian she, and that by his art he forces her into false positions.
The reason why women do not always fell the literal truth on the wi
ess stand is because they neither fit into nor understand the conditio:
-hich surround them ; they are out of their sphere; they lose the re
leaning of the wvhole court proceedings.
Is a woman's standard of honesty higher or lower than a man's?
is a question of commercial integrity. of common .husiness honesty, the
an be but one answer. And that answer lies in the comparative numb,
f men and women in jails for crimes against property.
Women do not deliberately steal. They do not deliberately misrepr
ent goods. They are not embezzlers or defaulters. There could have be(
,o necessity for a pure food law if women had sole charge of manufactu
ng foods.
If w'omen are not innate lovers of truth, why does religion appe
nore forcibly to them than to men ? Why do women outnumber the m<
in the churches?
And to whom, from mother Eve to this day, h
been intrusted the task of teaciing the young? Is
possible that two-thirds of the human race, from ti
dawn of civilization, could have instilled into childrc
the honor and truth which they themselves did n
obey ?
No matter what may have been said or writt(
about women not telling the truth, the fact still r
mains that it is at. the mother's knee that childr<
learn truth and receive their highest ideals of hones
and of life.
I am sick and tired of this modern fo
that childen should be taught to amu
e" cthemselves. To my mind it is just. an e
cuse for selfish motlers to salve th<
troubled consciences.

The oth~er day a redl-hot lecture was read to meT hy the president

~' IN AGONY WITH ITCHING
al "About four years ago I broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. Af
ter two months they were all over my
If body, some coming, and some going
re ttway. In about six months the boils
r quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. It would burn and itch, and
e- come out in pimples like grains of
wheat. I was in a terrible condition;
I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw, and I could scarcely
bear my clothes on. I could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
m to my feet. Then I suffered agony
with the burning, Itching sores. I
could hardly walk and for a long time
I could not put on socks.
it "All this time I was trying every
1 thing I could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was
ewena. I got no benefit from all
t his. I was nearly worn out, and had
given up in despair of ever being cured
when I was advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuti
- cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent,
n and used exactly as directed. I used
the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
3 four months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cured. It is now a year, and
I have not had the least bit since. I
am ready to praire the Cuticura Rem
d edies at any time. (Signed) E. L.

TAKEN AT A DISADVANTAGE
Awkward Question Put to Witness
Led to Hasty Exit From
The Stand.
A colored brother was charged
w44b violating the prohibition laws,
and one of the issues in the case was
whether or not certain prohibited
beverages were kept in an ice box iII
the defendant's place of business. Jim
Jones, another colored brother, was
introduced as a wittness for the de
fendant, and swore positively that no
prohibited beverages were kept n the
box that day; that he was in the
place all the morning. On cross-ex
animiation, the city attorney asked it
the ice box was open wheu ho entered
the place, or was opened in his pres
ence. Jim promptly replied in the
negative. He was then asked if
he had been inside the box at any
time that particular day, and replied
that he had not. The city attorney
then asked the all-important question
of "how lie knew there were no pro
hibited liquors in the box at that
time." After considerable delibera
tion and a mute appeal to the de
fendant's attorfiey, which was very
marked, Jim replied: "Fo' Gord, boss,
I didn't know yo' was gwine ter ax
me dat." Jim was hastily excused by
consent of all parties.-Exchange.

The Summer Toast.
In all her business life the bit of
work she is now completing has been
most pleasant, says the free lance
stenographer.
"I have been typrewriting toasts on
paper napkins," she said. "A society
of club women who have planned to
do a lot of outdoor entertaining this
summer expect to use thousands of
paper napkins, and I have had the
job of typewriting a toast on each
napkin. It is a pretty idea, and I tried
to meet the charming sentiment of
the ladies halfway by using a good
non-copying ink, but in spite or that
precaution I am afraid that many a
guest will leave the lunch table with
a purple ink smudge on her face."
