tumorous Department. An Easy N?w Year's Resolution.? In the January American Magazine, James Montgomery Flagg, the famous humorist and artist, does an amusing piece in words and pictures entitled "Four Easy New Year's Resolutiona" One of the four is to give up the filthy habit of smoking? under the following conditions: "In powder mills. "While chewing tobacco. "During the acts of any grand opera, irrespective of what language it may be given in. "While eating filet of sole, porterhouse steak, or sweetbread cooked with mushrooms. "While lavlnsr rnrnAta and oarrvlnK a pint of tacks In my mouth. "In a building where the danger of Are is enormous and a powerfully built read-headed fireman is watching me with narrowed lids. "While reading the words of Henry James. "In the presence of anyone who can say with a straight face, 'Dear old Chicago.' " Hard to Believe.?A suffrage leader stopped a small boy in the street. "Child," she said, "what are you doing on the streets?" "Oh, Jes' runnin' "round," answered the lad. "Did you ever have any moral Instruction?" "Any what?" "Any moral instruction?" "Don't know what It Is." The suffrage leader was appalled. "Ldttle boy," she said, "go home and tell your mother that Mrs. Jones will speak at the Settlement House this evening on the subject, 'Where Lies a Mother's Duty to Her Children Begin.'" "Aw, cut it out, maw," exclaimed the small boy. "Don't you know your own kid?" The Professions*?'The census has provided us a definition of "the professions." A good many folk have wondered what the "professional classes" were. The census has decided. They constitute: Actors. Architects, designers, draftsmen, etc. Artists and teachers of art. Clergymen (including religious and charity workers.) Dentists. Journalists. Lawyers (including abstractors, notaries and justices of the peace.) Literary and scientific persona Musicians and teachers of music. Physicians and surgeons (including non-medical heal era) Two of a Kind.?A tourist in the mountains of Kentucky had dinner with a querulous old mountaineer, who yawned about hard times 16 minutes at a stretch. "Why, man," said the tourist, "you ought to be able to make lots of money shipping green corn to the northern markets." "Tea I orter," was the sullen reply. "You have the land, I suppose, and oan get the seed." "Yes, I guess so." "Then why don't you go into the speculation?" ~ "no use, stranger," sadly replied the mountaineer, "the old woman is too lazy to do the plowin' and plantln'." Good Enough Teacher.?A Missouri farmer, whose son was an applicant for a position under the government, but who had been repeatedly turned down, said: "Well, it's hard luck, but Joe has missed that civil service again. It looks like they just won't have him." "What was the trouble?" "Oh, he was short on spellin' and geography and missed a good deal in arithmetic." "What's he going to do about it?" "I dunno," said the farmer. "Times is mighty hard, an I reckon he'll have to go back teaching school for a livin'."

WOMEN WARRIORS Thsy Have Figured Extensively in Military History. While it may not be true that the heart of every woman is a romance with its master chord love, there have been through the ages other passions which have exercised quite as obsessing a control, and another example of the strength and depth that patriotism can go In feminine hearts is that of the misguided but perfect- I ly sincere Lady Cook of London, who at the start of the war, launched a campaign to raise an army of English women who would be ready to fight and die for their country. To be sure her attempt was most vigorously and emphatically discouraged. She found few ready to back her project, despite the fact that she echoed the urglngs of the great and wise Plato of 2.000 years ago who declared that all women should be trained in warlike exercise the same as men. To prove her point she drew also for illustration from the story of the long past, not realising, however, that while women have fought and fought bravely at many periods of history it has never been except when dire necessity forced them to the sword. The many examples of feminine daring which she cited were all the result of desperate emergencies, when all the men of the land had been called forth, and the wo men were actually needed to preserve the nations from annihilation. The average woman, however, not being militant, English women even not excepted, Lady Cook's project fell on unfertile ground and received only the natural ridicule any sane-minded individual might have predicted for it. And the public as a whole remained quite unmoved despite the many examples of feminine bravery which she cited from times so far past as to be more than buried in mythological shadows as well as from periods of history much nearer and closer to our own time, the present century. Joan of Arc, of course, is the best known of all the women warriors. Her's is the name that comes to everyone's mind when the subject of a woman bearing arms is mentioned. But there are many others. The past is filled with their names. Long before history began to write itself for generations to remember there have been women who have held the sword and plunged madly, desperately, into battle. One of the oldest of existing traditions is a Chinese one. Once upon a time, so the story runs, the Chinese women, discontented with the unequal oi?a otr\ thorn In thA cnvorn ment, rose In rebellion. The revolt came so near to being a revolution that the emperor and his ministers, frightened at the display of power on the part of the women and the ferocious strength which they manifested, decided to prevent a recurrence of the danger and decreed that henceforth the feet of the girls throughout China should be bandaged in such a way as to put it out of their power ever again to take the field as warriors. None of the ancients, in fact, with the possible exception of the Romans, who never were inclined to swell their ranks with feminine recruits, seemed at all averse to the women exchanging at times the spindle and the distaff for the spear and shield, Not only did they believe that their goddess took part even in the battles of the mortals, but the supreme direction of the military affairs was generally assigned to a female as goddess of war. They seem In spirit somehow to have antedated Kipling by 3,000 years or more in believing that the "female of the species is more deadly than the male." As for the original Amazons, the very fact of their existence is now .a much-doubted thing. Modern writers have consigned their existence to the ash heap of fiction along with King Arthur, Hengist and Horsa, and a hundred others. One reason that has been attributed by legend for their numbers falling off and their race finally dying was that no woman was permitted to marry until she had killed from one to three men, and therefore It frequently happened that too many women died single at an advanced age. Semiramis is probably the earliest and first authentic female warrior. To be sure, her existence has been credited to anywhere between 2177 and 713 B. C.. according to the understanding of various historians, but the inability to decide on the dates of her birth and death seem in no way to have interfered with the exciting: events of her life. From the records she appears to have been as beautiful as she was clever and brave, and after having ensconsced herself in the affections of the king of Assyria and became his queen, she persuaded him to erant her the nrivileee of do Ing whatever she wanted for five whole days. On receiving his promise she threw her royal spouse Into prison, ordered his execution and reigned supreme thereafter for 42 years. Year after year she is said to have led her country into victorious battle. Her last war was with India, and she has the reputation of being the only sovereign of the ancients except Alexander the Great who ever carried conquest beyond the Indus. So much for the first of the women warriors. As we come down through the centuries we find no diminishing of the number of feminine braves. The militant spirit seems no less prevalent in those days than in ours, but rather more strongly developed. There was the wife of Mithrldates the Great, a king and warrior who was one of the most formidable rivals that Rome ever had. His favorite wife accompanied him on all his expeditions and fought beside him on the field of battle. In the great battle fought against Pompey on the banks of the Euphrates she appeared as a Persian soldier mounted on the wildest of chargers, and fought by the side of her husband as long as the battle lasted and then fled with him at the last after all hope of conquest was gone. Few realize that Cleopatra, the im- 1 moral, irreslstably fascinating and feminine queen of the Egyptians, play- ' ed her part in actual battle, and first appeared as un actual warrior in the 1 year 4? k. wnere ner uroiner, > Ptolemy, deprived her of her Khare I of the throne. At the breaking of the news to her she promptly withdrew i to the country of Syria, raised troops < there and re-entered Egypt at the ' head of her troops, where the war < soon terminaaed by the defeat and ( death of Ptolemy and the crown being i placed on Cleopatra's head. It Is said that during those engagements she acquittel herself with great valor and proved that despite the magnitude of her feminine wiles, the capacity for physical bravery was quite as great. Another female sovereign of a different type -was Boadicea. the British warrior queen as she has been called. Her career was a sad and gloomy one from first to last, and her brave attempt to defy the powers of Rome on the held of battle resulted in utter disaster. The final great battle in which more than 10,000 women were enlisted under her banners, was long and desperately contested. Before the battle Boadicea, wun wind, rode up and down in her charriot. exhorting the men and women warriors to avenge her wrongs and those of her country. Suetonious, the Roman commander, on his side, used all his power to excite the Romans, and in the end the steady order of the iron legions triumphed over the savage onslaught of the Britons. Some 80,000 Britons were left on the field, and Boadicea. rather than let herself be captured and brought before the Romans, who had treated her so shamefully in the past, resorted to death by poison. The history of the Arabs, the Persians and the Orientals is no less filled with examples of women and war. indeed, 11 is Claimed uy travelers as late as this last century that it is customary among the Bedouin Arabs when they go into battle to have their army preceded by a maiden of good family, who rides on a camel into the midst of the fight and encourages the men to fight bravely by singing and reciting to them. Europe, after the downfall of the Roman empire, bears somewhat of a resemblance to Greece during the heroic age when might constituted right, and rulers, men and women, whichever they happened to be, led their own armies into the field, and the lead was always given to the strongest and the most daring. There was a Bohemian queen who enrolled the greater number of her female subjects into a species of militia and trained them to ride on horseback. too. Poland also boasts a Wanda. first queen regent of Poland, in the year "00, who never married, insisting that she could rule the better without a husband, and who proved this by leading her country's troops in victorious battles. Later, at the time of the Crusades, Europe went wild with a blind impulse to take up arms against the infidel, and nation after nation proceeded to battle. There were women, too, who took part. Women? "Of Normandy, of Denmark, of Nor way. of Bretagne, Of Wales and of Ireland, of Qlascony, of Spain, Of Providence, of Saxony, and of Allemayne, Of Scotland and Greece, of Rome and Aquatalne." Joan of Arc of France, is without doubt the best known of the women warriors. A young girl of peasant birth, she left home and family to follow her mission and what she believed to be her divine appointment. Brightly, serenely, with the faith In her heart that sometimes seems capable of moving mountains, she commanded the famous sortie for the relief of Orleans and from her phenomenal success in respiriting the French soldiers and leading them to victory she was termed the "heaven-sent maid." In victories after that she showed her wonderful bravery. The story of her eventual loss of prestige through the victories of the English against whom she was fighting, her betrayal into the hands of the English and her subsequent martyrdom are too well known to be more than briefly touched. There have been others who possessed the same valor, but none who outdistanced her. And she was peculiarly without any of the feminine cruelty that sometimes has accompanied the most warlike of historical women. The Hindus of modern times claim a Joan of Arc of their own, a queen, the Ranee Lakshml Bal of Jhansl, who in 1857 joined the revolutionary against the English. She defeated General Rose by almost superhumanly fierce fighting on several occasions, but met her Waterloo finally at Gavalier. When the English finally entered the fort the ranee was still fighting, mowing down her enemies with her terrible sword. Her sister, who was fighting by her side, fell some time before the ranee. At last, however, the mass of her enemies pressed too close upon her. Their numbers overpowered her. An English soldier crept up from behind and struck her but still she fought with maniacal fury. Another soldier struck her in the back and she fell, another Joan of Arc fighting for her country's freedom. Bringing Instances down to our timeB, the Servian women In the Balkan states have given repeated Instances of desperate, determined fighting. Not only have they defended their own homes and firesides, but they have gone out into actual battle and fought with fiercest spirit beside their husbands, sons and brothers. Perhaps it Is their example more than that of the long ago British Boadlcea which Is enticing Lady Cook to her militant scheme. Women of history have not fought except where it was vitally, urgently necessary, and the exigencies of the modern European war do not appear sufficiently great to call forth from the women any such drastic measures.? Chicago Tribune. THE CIMARRON CREEK GRIZZLY Story of Biggest Bear Ever Known In Wyoming. The state of Montana used to have so many bears that there was hardly a man who had not at least a few bears to his credit. One man in the Gallatin valley killed more than four hundred bears in his lifetime. Another. Jack Bean, a professional hunter, killed more than two hundred?and was himself crushed and bitten almost to death by a big grizzly he had trapped down in Wyoming. One bear, long known as the "Terror of the Spanish Peaks," weighed fifteen hundred pounds when he was finally shot, and had claws nine inches long. Rut of all the bear stories still circulated In the Oallatln valley, the best Is that of George Anderson and the big Cimarron Creek grizzly. Young Anderson was born and bred In the wilderness. He had a little 22 alibre ritle?In a day when such weapons were not so powerful or accurate as they are today?and with that he used to roam the mountains n search of game. One day, when he waa twelve year* old, he went up Cimarron Creek with a smaller boy. They caught some trout, shot a pheasant out of a tree, and had a good camp dinner. After dinner was over, the younger boy went to get a can of water from the Bprlng nearby. In a moment he came rushing back; his face was white and his eyes were starting from their sockets. "A bear!" h6 cried; "an old bald face grizzly right down at the spring: And he growled at me!" Then he fell to shivering so that he could hardly stand. George sprang up and seized his rifle. "Here, climb on that rock, where he can't get you!" he shouted. He pointed to some jagged, splintered pinnacles of rock that stuck up nearby. No bear could climb up as far as an agile boy could go. "I'm going to shoot that bear," George announced. "Maybe I'll have to run a little but you get ready to throw rocks at him when I tell you to." And he started down the creek. He had not gone ten steps when the bear met him. George took quick aim, and flred. The little bullet only stung old bald-face Into a vicious temper. George sprang for the rocks, and squeezed himself through a crevice that was Just wide enough to admit his slender body. The rocks stood in a series of irregular, jagged columns, almost like a picket fence? the broken fragments of a great reef that had separated into isolated, comb-like fragments. The bear, growling furiously, plunged at the crevice. He could not get through. The boy reloaded his little weapon, and flred another shot pointblank in the animal's face. The bear roared, and lunged again into * the crevice after his elusive enemy. Finding that he could not get through, he drew back, and with Incredible agility, he rushed at the next crevice, onl' a few feet away, and sprang through. He almost caught the boy, who was reloading his weapon. Only a desperate leap saved George; and he left his gun behind. The bear seized It, and bit the stock In two. Then he darted back for the crevice through which he had come to try to catch the boy on the other side. As the bear rushed round the pinnacle, George stepped back through the smaller crevice. He could keep this up Indefinitely, for he had to move not more than ten or twelve feet each time, whereas the bear had to go perhaps seventy-flve feet In all, and turn a sharp corner. Meantime, the smaller boy on top of the pinnacle began to throw rocks down on the bear. He had not much strength, but some of the missiles hurt. The diversion gave George time to reload the broken rifle; and the next time the bear came to the crevice after him, he fired the weapon down the bear's throat It was a lucky shot, for the bear began to cough and to bleed profusely. But the battle was by no means over. Time after time the bear raced round the big rock, while the boy slipped through the short way to safety. Every minute or two George had a chance to reload the broken, stockless rifle, and give the bear a single shot In return. Finally, he hit the bear In the eye. That crazed the grizzly; he charged aimlessly, for he had lost the power to guide hip rage effectively. Another shot took-effect In the other eye?and the battle was over. The big bear was not dead, but he lay gasping. George advanced cautiously, put the loaded gun against the bear's neck and pulled the trigger. It was a fortunate shot; and the bear, with a shudder, straightened out out and breathed hiB last.? Youth's Companion. Idleness. The harm of doing nothing is seldom realized. But it means going backward. Or, if It means floating along to somewhere, It also means getting soaked and heavy and Anally sinking out of sight. Every boy should adopt Secretary Redfleld's advice to business men?to practice self-criticism; to And out if anything is the matter, and then correct It. We suspect if every boy and girl would undergo a little self-examination they would And that idleness was one of their habits. And they are apt but it is not?it is a dangerous habit; also to think it an Innocent habit; Remember the old saying that the devil always finds something for idle hands to do, and that something Is evil always. Now work is not always a struggle with one's hands. It does not always make one perspire and get short of breath. If a person thinks things that are true, If he builds up noble ideals, if he plans enterprises of good will, if he makes use of his spirit in forming nne resolutions?tnia is not iaung. ine test for Idleness Is very easy. When one wastes his time he is idle; when he does not . utilize thought and deed to make his life better he is idling. Teaching a boy to value his time is the best lesson that can be given him.

Such an Incident occurred in Paris during the French mobilization. On August 3, a captain who was currying his equipment stopped a horse cab on a crowded street, and asked the driver to take him to the Eastern railway termius. The cab stopped and the cabman, who was in ill humor, stared sullenly at the captain. and shook his head. "But it is urgent:" cried tne captain. "I am late! I must get-there immediately!" Again the driver discourteously shook his head. A group of bystanders witnessed the cabman's refusal. They spoke to one another in an undertone. Suddenly they rushed forward, picked up the captain boldly, thrust him, equipment and all, into the cab, and slammed the door. Some one pulled the driver from his seat. A man from the crowd leaped up and caught the reins. In almost no time the captain was rattling away to the Eastern railway terminus. >.s he looked back, he saw the crowd cheerfully rolling the surly cabman in the street.? Youth's Companion.
