THE LADY GODIVA AND OTHERS.
The mind will accept anything if it
is properly prepared. Preparation
consists in graduated experiences that
lead into strange conditions by gentle
degrees. The old saying that one may
even get used to hanging is literally
true, since many a man after having
passed, the “third degree” „ mounts
the scaffold with something like a
light heart. The hobble enabled us
to meet on the open highway and for
the first time the slit skirt without
batting an eye. These speculations
are provoked by having come upon
an account printed in a newspapeei
on an inside page, under an incon
spicuous heading, of a woman, down
at Portland, Me., who was prepar
ing, as a test of her resourcefulness
and knowledge of woodcraft, to en
ter the primeval forests in a perfect
ly nude state and without any sup
plies, and after two months return
fully clad and well nourished.
The young woman is only ringing
the change upon a stunt that has al
ready been pulled off, the change be
ing a matter of sex. It is no longer a
novelty—this thing of “entering the
woods nude.” Poor girl, she will en
dure a rather tough experience with
out attracting any particular notice
outside of her own neighborhood.
When a man essayed this thing a lit
tle while ago his stol-y was printed
on the front page under a “top head.”
The whole world paused over it. Had
the attempt been made by a woman
in the first instance, this same world
—its mind unprepared by the enter
prise of the man—would have gasped j
and held its lingers before its eyes!
as it read the story. I
A Parisian woman of high social j
station and reputed good character!
entertained a house full of guests with
tableau-posing, appearing in the al -1
together, and it is true that much was
made of the matter in American j
newspapers at least, but a repetition
of it would attract small notice.
Thus do we see, indeed, that it is
novelty that makes news and custom
that alone forms our standard of
judgment and that some customs now i
make cowards of us all. Can it be
that a day lies before us when we
will wonder why all that fuss about
telligencer.
the Lady Godiva?—Seattle Post-In
Candidates.
The candidates are coming forth, a
fierce and noisy crew, and east and
west, and south and north, tney sound
the loud bazoo; they sound the loud
bazoo, my friends, the same familiar
notes, and ere the weary campaign
ends they’ll have our divers goats.
They’re weeping for the men who
slave, with*sweat upon their brows;
the starry flag again they wave, and
vow the same old vows; they vow the
same old vows, my boys, we heard in
days of youth; they so beguile us with
their noise, we thir« tney speak the
truth. And so we’ll all neglect oui
work, and waste the golden days, to
hear the ten-cent modern Budke
goldbrick the easy jays; goldbrick the
easy jays, my lads, and fill us full
of bunk, when we should work to earn
the scads, likewise the bone and
plunk. They’ll teach us that our fate
depends on going to the polls, and
voting for our windy friends who
spring long rigmaroles; who spring
long rigmaroles, my dears, but never
ply the saw; who never wield the
spade or chears—they only wield the
jaw. They’ll fool us with the same
old tricks, and lead us by the nose,
and we shall look to politics for cures
for all our woees; for cures for all our
woes, my chums, which statesmanship
can’t help, and when the day of wak
ing comes just watch us whine and
yelp. •. ■ WALT MASON.

i Miners and Operators Confer.
I PHILADELPHIA. March Un
strained relations between coal min
ers and operators were emphasized
today when the Association of Bitum
lnuos Coal Operators of Central Penn
sylvania and the miners of that dis
trict held a Joint meeting here today
to discuss the question of a new wage
scale. Today's meeting follows close
on the recent conferences here of
both bituminous and hard coal min
ers.

Perhaps the reason women cry at
weddings and funerals is because of
the uncertainty of the future.

giggle because some fellow once told
her she had a musical laugh.
