Lovable Stout, Stupid
Kind Are
Women Most Favored
By VIRGINIA RANDOLPH
HAT kind of a woiein do women like? What a queer ques.
tion I Women like all-no; not all women, of course-there
are some women who are simply iposs;ible.
The women we see across the footlights, for instance.
There are mny varieties in the orchest ra stalls alone. Those
who come with their young men seblom know the name of the
play. They talk nearly all the time, and when they are not
talking they are thinking of the walk home. We don't like
them. Then those who want to be actresse-they ill think
they were horn to the starge--we just know aire looking hIard at
us and thinking all the show peoplc should he doing domestic work. They
are Ii ulovable, too. Then there are women who are there everv MAonday
afternoon in the saine sea. Tlwy believe the villain reall y dies, and that
the leading muan1 is ia Adonis. Distance certaiily lends enchantment;
and so does the spotit. Well, we pity theni ; and pity may be akin to,
but it isn't, ,nuci in- afl'ectioni.
Wever get very fond of the women out in the lig world who try to
exploit uw, and invite us to afternoon earnivals of weak tea and sand.

Of real food. And we are cool toward those gentle persons who introduice
us to 1 hieir friends in order to point a moral and adorn a tale. It's only
nati ral to dislike the role of llorrible Example.
Among our own people it is different. Twenty
weeks of one-night stands on the kerosene circuit

doubt be shocked if they knew half the
damiges done by their often repeated visit.s,
of lie nights passed by the patients in wakefulness and stutiering that
hIave been causled by tle excitement an11d strain during the day. It seems
strange that people of intelligence have to be told.
It places the one afflicted in a very uncom fortable posit ion. A sick
personu dislik~es to own to very necar and dlear friends that it hurts to listen
to andi respond to a visitor's chatter, fearing isolation, pierhiaps, or inj ured
feelings if they tell the penalty they must pay as a result. of the v'isit.
It. requires strength and a good deal of nervous energy in even those
who are compairatively wvell to entertain ('allers, let alone those who are
not well.
* There are so many ways of lettiing your friends know that. you don't
forget them aside from visiting them. A pretty little card with a verse
or a line that wuill bring them cheer and hope would be appreciated.

E ERl Y year tile gr eat resorts of
Europe are visited by thousands
of tourists who apparently have
no0 knowledge of the great na
tional parks which have been
created by congress for the benefit
of the people and in which there are
natural features and views that can
not be surpasse.i.
If the traveler seeks Alpine glaciers
lie has only to go to the Glacier Na
tional Park, where there are more
glaciers in the same area than in
Switzerland; if he desires to travel in
comfort over flnely built roads thit
rival those of France, Switzerl.nlid and
Gerinany, the Yellowstoi.u Park ex
tends Its invitation to /im.
If lie is attracted, 'o lurope by the(
llystery of the iack Forest, lie ca

zerland, le can find their countit erparts
in the Glacier and Crater lake national
parks.
Should he be anxious to risk his
life in scaling snow-clad peaks, he has
only to repair to Mount Ranier in
Washington, whose steel) slopes and
ice-covered top will furnish sport ex
citing enough for the most daring of
mountaineers. If lie Is interested in
the ruins of prehistoric people, the
Casa Grande ruin in Arizona and the
Mesa Verde National Park in Colora
do will show hinm how the aboriginal
inhabitants of America lived hundredi
of years before its discovery by Euro
peans.
Yellowstone Is Best Known.
The Yellowstone National Park In
northwestern WyomIng lB the eldest
and the best known of all the parks
and reservations. It was created by
an act of congress in 1872, and ever
since that time the government has
been constructing roads and cutting
trails, until now the park Is in a high
state of development and all parts of
it are accessible to the traveler.
In the park may be seen natural
phenomena the like of which is found
nowvhere else in tihe wvorld. Here are
guysers that throwv jets of steam and
hot water into the air, great terraces
formed from deposits of mineral mat
ter In the water throwvn up by the
geysers, and the great falls of Yel
lowstono river which traver-ses a beau.
tiful muiti-colored canyon that is see
ond( only to the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado1.
In this park may be seen the deer,
the bcear, the antelope and the bison
on their native range, because hunt
lng Is prohibited and the bands of
deer and antelope roam through the
valley-s and over the slopes as they
(1i( years before thtey were practically
exterlninatedl in tho greater part of
the wvest.
The Glacier National Park in north
ern Mlontana on the Canadlian border
is the newest of the parks controlled
by the federal government. This park
hsan area of about 915,000 acres andi
has a maximium length of sixty miles.
Yosemite in Class by itself.
When one speaks of California the
Yosemite Park naturally conies to
mindl. As long ago as I1864- an act
of congr-ess granted the Yosemite val.
Iey and the Alariposa big tree grove
to the State of California for piublic
useo and recreation, The legislature
of California by tihe act approved
Mlarch 3, 1905, re-codled the jurisdic
tion and ownlership of this tract to
the United States, and~ only since Juno
11, 1906, has'the management of the
Yosemite National Park been under
tile control of the federal government.
rThe entire park has an area of
about 36 lby 46 miles. The Yosemite
valley, wvhich is the most frequently
visited place is about 7 miles long
and %Y mile wide. In the center of
th is valley is a level, parklke meadi
ow, thrdugh which runs the hierced
river, while on either side0 the mocun
tains rise steep andl prepitous to a
height of 4,000 fcet above the floor of
te valley.
Ntumlerous streamis drop from the
edige of the cliff to the valley belowv.
The first of these as the tourist en
ters the valley is the liridal Veil Falls.
A stream fully thirty feet wide falls
a distance of 600 feet, then rushes
over a sloping ilie of debris, and~ then
drops perpiendicularly 300 feet mere.
The great waterfall In this park,
however, is the Yosemiteilsn Tes
V..'.

Is a stream thirty-five feet wide, and
in the spring and early summer when
tho snow is melting upon the high
Sierra its roar can be heard all over
the valley, and the shock of the de
scent rattles the windows a mile away.
This fall is conceded by all critics
to be one of the most wonderful and
beautiful cascades in the wve;;'. Its
first fall is about 1 feet slicer
drop, then comit' 'series of cascades
partly hid110'n in which the fall is over
000 .f.1-et, and finally a vcrtical drop
.0L 400 feet.
From the cliffs surrounding the val
ley the scene .is one of remarkable
inspiration and beauty. At the foot
o ftho 'raveler lies the valley floor
ithe green trees an( meadows and the
win(ling river giving the effect of a
rich velvet carpet over which a line
of sIlver has been drawn; here and
there one gets glimpses of tho foam
ing white Waters hurling themselves
to the valley below; on both sides of
the valley rise the great walls of
rock, sculptured by the elements into
various fantastic shapes and figures.
Trees Twenty Centuries Old.
In the Yosemite the Sequoia and the
General Grant National parks are
found the groves of big trees the like
of which are seen nowhere else in the
world. These trees grow to a height
of 340 feet and have a circumference
of over 100 feet at the base, the bark
sometimes exceeding 40 inches in
thickness.
The rings in the trunks of these
trees show that many of them are
over 2,000 years old. Cathedrals and
castles have been built and fallen Into

The largest glacial system in the
world radiating from any single peak
is situated on Mount Ilaier in west
ern Washiington. The Mount llanier
National Park includes the mass of
this great mountain and all the ap.
proachies to it.
The Crater Lake National Park in
Oregon has within its borders a lake
that is unique among the naturali
wonders of the world. This lake, into
which no streams flow andl which has
no visible outlet, lies in what is left
to the caldera of a great muountalin
that rose to an elevation of over 14,
000 feet above the sea.
It is almost forty years since con
gross laid the beginning of tihe great
national park system by passing the
act creating the Yellowstone National
Park, approved Mar-ch 1, 1872. Other
parks have been created since, until
at present the area embraced in these
pleasure grounds of the people
amounts to over 4,000,000 acres.

parks has resultedl ini preserving fromi

SEE FOUND GUILTY
OF ABDUCTING GIRL
CHICAGO'S "ABSOLUTE LIFE"
CULT LEADER IS CONVICTED
AND FACES PRISON.
CONDUCTED A 'LOVE JUNGLE'
Strange Conglomeration of Teachings
of a So-Called Religious Cult In
Which Women Disciples of the
Apostle Became Entangled.
Chicago.--Evelyn Arthur See, re
vealer of thp "absolute life," who was
convicted by a jury in Judge Honore's
court on a charge of abducting Mil
dred Bridges, one of his girl disciples,
was released on $5,000 bail pending
the hearing of a motion for an appeal.
The penalty for the crime which the
head of the Racine avenue "love jun
gle" was convicted is an indetermi.
nate term in the state penitentiary of
from one to ten years.
Evelyn Arthur See was arrested in
his "temple" on Racine avenue Janu
ary 6, 1911, on complaint of Stephen
H. Bridges, who charged the abduc
tion of his daughter Mildred. Bridges
had at one time been a follower of
See and had been made president off
the cult in return, it was assertjid., t
his financial support. M:rs. Bridges
also was a uibQ:r of the cult and at
tii'al she took the stand in See's
defense.
While the state was investigating
the case the federal authorities also
took up the quest to ascertain if there
had been any violation of the "white
slave" act. See's wife sued him last
March for separate maintenance. The
Sees had been separated for years.
Following the filing of this suit the
safe in the "temple" was opened and
the "revealer's" book and Jbapers, ii
cluding the manuscript of the "Book
of Truth," were seized.
Some parts of the "]ook of Truth"
have been published. Other parts, not
published but taught to the woman
and girl inmates of the love Jungle,
have been seized by the United States
government and form the basis of a
prosecution against See in the federal
courts. The federal authorities say
the matter is unfit to send through the
mails.
See's counsel hoped for acquittal
largel3 on the testimony of four wom
en. Mildred Bridges and Mona Rees,
"high priestess" of the cult, testified
there had been no wrong at the See
apartments on Racine avenue, and
Mrs. Rees and Mrs. Bridges took the
stand and accepted responsibility for
some of the declarations in the "Book
of Truth."
During the trial, which dragged
along through several weeks and cost
the state $10.00, a strange conglom
eration of documents was offered as
Apostle See and Mildred BrIdges,
evidence. See's teachings embodied
in p)oems, documents patterned after
the BIble a nd a spiritual dictionary,
were introdluced.
"Absoluto life, the all with" is the
udefinitlon given of the cult in the dic
tiotary.
A kiss is deflned as "when the ion
of the absolute welds with the ion of
the spirit of mortality, purified through
the fInding of the personal conscious
ness seeking to be pure and( with the
consummation of the spiritual essence
of man in God and God in man, thero
com'is the gentle benediction of the
aibsolute, the door of absolute life
yawvns more widely and there has
come into being-a kiss."
Hanged by Cellar Doors.

this city had a narrow escape from
hanging between the cellar doors of
his home. Hie w'as coming up the

- New Penal System for Ontario
The Ontario government has recent
ly abolished the system of prison iar
bor contracts in that province. In
ture the majority of the prisoners '~
the penal institutions of Ontario will
be employed upon farms and the miak
ing of roads in the newly op~ened dis
tricts. There will, however, be a per
centage of the prisoners whose health
or other circumstances prevent them
from joining in this open air work.
These men will manufacture hospital
supplies--beds, blankets and so forth.
LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.
A lady writes fro'n Brookline, Mass.:
"A package of Posa m was sent me
one day by mistake.
"I notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared sonme of the
Postamn, following the directions very
carefully.
"I was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chil
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and I would have a mutiny
on my hands should I omit the be
loved beverage.
"AMy husband used to have a very.
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
"Noting the good effects in my fam
ily I wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee toper, and after much persua-4
sion got her to try Postumi.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum."
Name given by Postumi Co., Battle
Creek, Alich., and the "cause why" will
be found in the great litt le hook, "The
Road to Wellville," which comes in
