Thirdly, observe the man's general

There are other men. of a complacent

One day Uncle Wlgglly Longears. the j

walk behind the hollow stump school ,
The lady mouse teacher had dismissed ;
all Ule classes because school "n out ,
"Where are you going. Stilt?' asked ,
L'ncln Wlgglly.
"till, over lo a slippery slide we fii-
Iowa made." Blllle answered. "Don't j

I'ncle Wlgglly rather thought he. did.
so, after taking a look toward the h"l- j
low stump school, to make sure the lady j
mouse would not see hint at bis chtld-
wllh Blllle.
It was snowing just n little, making ,
the lev Places of the fields and wooil
that much more slippery than usual
Blllle led the way to a little hill behind
the hollow stump school. There was a
tine a slide as heart could wish
"You go first, fncle Wlgglly." in
vited Billie. politely.
"I'd rather see you try it." said the
old rnbblt gentleman. "I am Uttlo
out ot practice, and. though my ivd.
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch is as good as ever. I don't mil
to have to use it unless I really need
It Vou go first."
So Illllle took a long breath, then be
took a short run and then he took a
long slide down the slippery hill path,
which had Ice underneath and snow
on top
Howti and down slid Blllle. turning
half niv arohnd as he neareil the bot
tom, so that he looked hack up at
Mr Iongeurs.
"Come on down. I'ncle Wlgglly. It's
great." chattered the squirrel boy.
"Well. I might as well eat pork as
beans, suppose," said i'ncle Wlgglly,
enigmatical like and mysterious.
Then be took t snort breath and .1
long run and down the slide he went,
Ju.t as Blllle had done.
"How do you like if" nsked the,
squirrel boy as they Started over again
"It's simply scrumptious!" exclaimed
I'ncle Wlgglly. and his pink nose
seemed to turn a peppersault. It twin
kled so fas'
"I knew you'd like It." said Blllie,
So the two of them slid and slid
again. I'ncle Wlgglly having as much
fun as Blllie.
"Though If Nurse .lane Kuir.y Wussy
should see me now, 1 don't know what
tnVd say,'' though the rabbit gentle
man. After a while Blllle said:
"I think I'll make our slide more ex

"How?" asked fncle Wlgglly.

HELEN KELLER, VA UDE STAR,
WINS FRIENDS BY PERSONALITY
NEW YORK. March Is. Kor exempli
fication oi ibe ,Kier of the human mind
over material obstacles the Incidents
i licit and theories expressed by Sir
OIKcr !"dKe and other scientists snd
psychics aorind to be mere piquant farce
compared with Miss Helen Keller on
the vaudeville stage
ny these lecturer- have audi I
neoa that go to s lecture to bear their I
own theories eocouiaged i'hal makes
It easy for the lecturer.
At the I'alace vaudeville theater re
cenil. after a lever act of what Is
termed "sidewalk patter." was finished
and applauded, the eb-etric program an
nounced "Miss Helen Keller."
Prohahls svsryoais In the audience
had heard some time or other of Helen
Kelbr. blind, deal and dumb from the
age of 11 months, who alter battling
wiih the Impossible for years has
learned to speak. But it was only a
lirn. fai otf story read In magazines or
newspapers years ago. When Helen
Keller was eight the fact that she was
learning to r ad and study through the
sense of touch much was written about.
Certainly no one had llie faintest Idea
Of what a blind, deaf and dumb woman,
who bad ben taught to speak with as
much mechanical difficulty, almost, us
would lie experienced in producing
speech froni a statue, would be doing in
vaudeville, where the swiftest, trick
iest siit of entertainment "stuff with
a punch" -Is provided lor audiences
whose critical ant iclpnt loll of enter
tainnieiit Is set to a hair trigger
The curtain went up. the stage set
ns a draw ing room. After a preliminary
uiiounceijietit, a lall. rather handsome
woman appeared in the opening at the
raaf of the stage She advanced a fc'v
tes, then tottered u little, as one
who has some difficulty in balancing
.she brushed against a piano and ad
vanced to the Footlights, where another
woman had been awaiting her.
The huge audience realized with a
trace of uneasiness that this woman
- h"'ot. althougfh she has large,
bright blue ee.s which have 'the ric
copiive appearance of being unusually
strong and Blear. It was Helen Keller,
a vigorous, healthy looking woman. Her
companion, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy,
who has been her friend and teacher
Since Miss Helen Keller's childhood, ex
plained the difficulty of teaching her
to speak u lid the patience, cleverness
and will power and faith displayed by
liss Keller, which really seems almost
superhuman.
I'nahle to hear the voices of others.
Miss Keller learned to talk by feeling
of the throats and lips of others, and
after years of effort mastered by this
mechanical mil what others have as a
divine gift, easy as breathing.
Such intensity of Interest has rarely
been seen In the theater as shown by
those audiences last week in the big
vaudeville theater, The difficulties
conquered and the Intense human striv
ing of tiiis woman seem to strike the
audiences in a great wave of sympathy.
For a few moments they were perplexed
by her strange, carefully articulated
because we know It's there. But the
fox didn't,"
"No. I see he didn't," laughed fncle
Wlgglly, "It's I good thing you made
the bump, Blllle."
Then the rabbit gentleman and the
squirrel boy slid down the slide and
When they came to the icy bump they
just bounded up little way and came
down again. And, really, it made the
slide ever so much more fun.
So this teaches us that what is good
for a bunny and squirrel is not always
good for a bail fox. And if the lead
pencil doesn't make the foot rule stand
on its hands and turn a sotnersaull
over the ink bottle, I'll teH you next
about fncle Wlgglly and Johnnies
siuing.

before them was a woman who seemed
supremely happy, arid that added to the
wonder. Before she had been on the
stage two minutes Helen Keller had
conquered again, and the Monday after

the most critical and cynical in the
world, was hers.

What's In a Name?
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
EVELINA.
(Copyright.

The feminine names beginning with
"Eve" are legion, yet each, curiously,
is a separate name and possesses a
different meaning. Eva, for instance.
Sirolflea life, -vhlle Evelyn means hazel
nut, and Evelina or Eveline, is trans
lated "pleasant."
Eveline made its apoearance among
the Normans before the marriage of
thj earl of Pembroke Avettne said to
be its equivalent, was the name oi the
sister of Qw"nar, tne area- cri t
mother of William the Conqueror. The
Lady of the Garde ron!nuruse in the
"Betrothed" wits called Eveline.
Aveline seems to have been mo'e
popular than its equivalent in early
times, since old chronicles record more
instafices of the former name than the
latter. The wife of the last earl of
Lancaster was called Aveline de Loneo
CamPO, Her daughter. Eveline, was
heiress to the great county of Lancas
ter. Before Miss Burney's popular novel
presenting Evelina a name which she
horself invented as an elaborated form
of Eveline was published. Eveline had
almost disappeared In England, but
there was an Immediate revival of the
name. The new fashion of adding a
final "a ' was followed, of course, and
Evelina was established in popularity
for many years. Unfortunately for
fcjvelina, the tendency was to confuse
her with Evelyn, especially when the
craze for names containing a "Y " mado

LARK ENDED.
Lectured for lying abed late, the
farmer's boy promised that In future he
would be "up with the lark." The next
morning the old farmer came in from
his milking and found his son sitting on
the Btlle and singing as blithely as
though there was no such a thing as
work.
"Why. you yountr rascal," said bis
exasperated sire, "this is worse than
sleeping. What do you mean by loaf
ing on that stile and singing at the top
of your voice?"
The lad grinned.
"Why, dad. you told me to be like the
lark, and that's all he does when he
gets up early."

an has no such excuse.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: For fou' ye.vs
and three months I have beo i mar.red
to a woman whose every i-eq.tsit wm
granted. At her appeal I purchased an
ideal site and built a $5,000 home.
Nothing was too costly for hr o- our
baby, still she became Involved "H
a deacon in the church she mended
and I was obliged to save her from her
self. Next she packed up the wedding
presents, her clothing and that of the
baby's and in my ahsenoe moved homo
to her people. Now she has filed suit
against mj alleging cruel and inhuman
treatment. Lawyers, st her request,
have served Injunction papers on all
that I own and I am up against it. I
have filed answer to her suit denying
her charges. Shall I al m name the
man who alienated her affections or
would It be best to remain silent and
protect her name for the sake of the
baby? A. P. S.
Vi hat hard questions you people ask
and how bitterly 1 hate to see a fai:i
Uy divided against itself. Still it is
too late for me to giieve over what
might have been, so I am going lo
suggest that you put personal consi I
erations out of your mind and that yo i
think only of the future welfare of vour
child. If the mother Is worthy to rear
the child preserve her reputation and
give her another trial: if iiol, ask toe
judge to give you the child.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I love my hus
band devotedly, but he cares little cr
nothing for me. We have no chillren
and I think this perhaps Is the reason.
As our finances are good what do you
think of my adopting a baby? And
which would you take, a boy or a girl.'
ALICE M.
If 1 wanted the child particularly to
interest my husband I would select a
boy. Any bright, healthy, wide-awake
vomigster interests a man. I like your
idea.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a woman,
aijed 19, and I have two small children.
My husband deserted us when the
youngest was six weeks old. I have
heretofore succeeded in keeping the
wolf from the door, but It can no long
er be done. Would you advise me to
go back to my parents. They have
never been particularly kind, but I am
threatened with the tuberculosis and
It seems the only way. MRS. I. H. H.

the subject of golf? RAY.
From any book store.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: To save my
life I can not secure the good will of
my wife's people. As this is Impossible
what would you suggest that I do?
L. P. T.
If you can not have their good will,
why not antagonize them a little. If
one can not be loved, they can yet be
feared, and this last, at least, surpasses
an indifferent feeling.
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a self,
made man who loves a girl who does
not love me. Her heart, she says, be
longs to a college professor, and he is a
man whom she can never marry. Al
though she has said that she will never
marry me, I hope to change her mind.
Please advise me as to a method.
MARKS,
Why not cease speaking of love to
her and apparently Interest yourself In
others. If possible find out about the
college professor and ascertain wheth
er or not he will ever be in the position
to marry. Possibly he is already mar
ried. If so, learn what kind of a wife
he possesses. Discuss him with the
younfr lady and try to marry her to
him. Women are perverse creaturea
and they always want to do what oth
ers attempt to prevent them doing. If
you favor the match you will break it
up sooner than if you try to prevent
it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am 15 years
old and have just been married. My
husband Is 23. We have both lived
some time In Memphli. Our marriage
was a little out of the ordinary, as I
was a ward of a local court and the
judge decreed that the man I loved
marry me. Few people know this, but
I have been wondering If announce,
ment cards should not be sent out.
Will this make the marriage more Ilk
an ordinary event of Its kind?
, EUNICE.
Personally I -would not send out the
cards. Printed slips call pointed atten
tion to whatever they say thereon, and
I think it best that you start out your
wedded life unhampered by criticism
and gossip. Everybody is prone to In
terest themselves in newly married cou
ples, and quite frequently this causes
unpleasan tness and trouble.
As a Woman Thinks
BY EDITH E. MORI ARTY.
There seem to be two classes of suf
fragists nowadays, those who long for
the power and the glory and those who
merely want results. The former would
flaunt the suffrage victory even before
it is won by seeking to hold any and
every political office that was ever
held by man. The latter hold the be
lief that there are certain things which
women can do better than men and
that suffrage will merely give women
the right and opportunity to do those
things. They believe that women have
a certain very definite place to fill and
very definite work to do. and that work,
is not merely holding offices.
Those women who go after empty of
fices are failing in their duty and are
missing the whole significance of the
privilege which is about to be granted
them. The woman who is going to take
her enfranchisement seriously will not
seek an office merely because It is an
office, but she will never refuse to run
for an office where a woman is needid.
Two things which women have always
been concerned over are wages and
children. Now they will be given a
chance to do something about the laws
concerning both of these things which
are so closely connected with the home.
Therefore women will have a broad
field In which to work if they merely
try to obtain minimum wage law!,
workable child labor laws, laws for the
protection of motherhood and adequate
educational facilities throughout, the
country. Unless women concentrate oil
some sucti foatUfW ai these they will
not do any more for the good of the
country than the men have done.
The mere giving of the vote to women
ia not going to reform tne world, but if
the women use it properly it will help
reform those things which affect women
and children and t'.ial, it seems, is the
one big thing the women 0UI do. And
so it seems to bo a very wise and pru
dent thing which the Republican wom
en are asking, namely, that there ba
created a federal department of edu
cation with a woman as secretary of
education. That means that there
would be a woman member of the cab
inet. The Republican women do not
seek to put a woman in the White
House, nor do they claim that "worn
en ought to be represented in the cab
inet," and therefore it would be a
good thing to appoint a woman secre
tary of labor, or state, or agriculture.
They think that education, one. of tha
most important factors of modern civ
ilisation, should have a place on the
cabinet and that since woman has al
ways been the teacher in this ounty
it is only natural that a woman should
be made secretary of that department.
They are not seeking to put a woiQaal
in office merely for the sake of exer
cising their new power, hut because
tl ey think there is an actual need which
women alone can fill.
