The heavy vestibuled limited came thundering ulong. Orb/, saw that If the .lack remained where lt waa there might be a fright ful wreck. Without considering his own peril be leaped fearlessly on the track, hastily Jerked tho jack from its place and hurled it asido. The next In stant bo was struck by the engine and cut to pieces. The train swept Oll? its occupants heedless of tho mangled body that lay by the side of the track.

Is your mental horizon wide enou to know that God hath made of o blood all tho nations to dwell togetk on the face of the earth? . Can your soul feel n thrill of pride the death sacrifice of a brother brown ? Then take off your hat to the bloot bundle of rags by the side of that ra road track and understand that und tho mangled bronzed skin of that litt Mox lea ll once bent the true heart \ one of Clod's own heroes.

What you want lu a husband is MAN. THE DODY AND SOUL OF "DIXIE." The women of the Confederate ('lu of America have made a mistake try in:: to tit new Words to "Dixie." They say tho words are "awkward. Maybe. But The words ol' tho tdd thrilling son ure forever wedded lo the tillie. Tl marriage ls Complete.

With tho best Intention doubtless tho historic, homely words about "cinna mon seed and sandy bottom" have becu changed by tjicse women, who have substituted the lines: , Oh. Dixie lund IH tho land of glory, Tho land of chorlHhcd song and Btory! The substituted words are good enough In their way, but lt Is safe lo declare they will never permanently bo titted to tho old tune. They lack the native llavor of the old words.

No other song will bring men and women to their feet witt? beating hearts and flushed faces like the old song. Let "Dixie" alone. Lips that are long since dust have shouted those "awkward" words. They arc embalmed In sacred recollections. To chango them would amount to an Insult to the dead. This Itel) to (-hange the words of our national songs bleaks out every so j often.

No person, she says, who has ever hoard the confidences of the sex can re call without emotion the confessions of these women "tied to traditions they dure not question, broken on the wheels of drudgery whose Iron revolu tions crush individual gffts out of tho soid and personal [lowers out of lifo." She says there will bo no happier citi zen In tho heavenly1 country than theso "prisoners ol' sex." Well There ls no denying tho fact that the j average woman's life is largely given lo ceaseless drudgery and monotony. The doing of tho same thing, mostly in tho same way, day lu and day out, and I getting nowhere conies to bo an actual | tragedy, i ou see The rooms once swept cleaffcif?Hist be swept again. The dishes tlur ard washed after breakfast will be dirty e.flor dinner. Things will uot stay clean. And tho victuals that are cooked for one meal will not sulllce for the next, ir only tho stuff could bo lilied up for Installment consumption! Out come to think of it, tho life of most men is also largely made up of drudg ery. They aro perhaps not so much tied up to traditions, but they ure bound to a system that kills, a machine that crushes. Few of thom but aro broken moro or less by this mental or physical routine. Indeed, it is the remark of foreign observers that American women are better off than any other women In the world and that American men aro the hardest worked men lu tho world. Tho diff?rence is here: Women are more idealistic than men. Drudgery tells on them. The daily round frets their more delicate nature. There is more poetry in their souls. lt ls difficult for women to get over the Iden (hat Hf#? ought b? br Woman's club comes In) to save her from the nervous tension of doing ono thing all tho time. Aii.l by tho same token So does the man who lives a life of drudgery. Indian Coro For Cancer.
