The inspiration for the poem was Millet's famous picture which depicted a man leaning on a hoe and looking upwards. The poem started with the words. Bowed with the weight of centuries he stands," and then went on to tell how oppression had made him a brother of the beast. How well we remember how the limited number of Examiners received were sold out like hot cakes and the poem had to be republished In other editions.

It was also published by leading magazines and other publications of the east and Edwin Markham became famous almost over-night. Previous to this he was a teacher but after he became famous he took up literature as an occupation and became quite wealthy. Several ago he was declared incompetent and a guardian was appomted to attend to his financial affairs. Poet Markham wrote nature stories about flowers, birds, beasts, mountains and water. Some of his poems were laid on scenes that we have in Mendocino county and years ago he was undoubtedly the most popular of California poets.

Like "The Man With The Hoe" he was bowed by the weight of years when he died last month, for he was considerably more than 80 years of age.

Queen Victoria was queen of Great Britain and empress of India, but she was more than it came to matters about feminino dress, customs and morals what she decreed had as much force in Mendocino county as it had inEngland. Some of her ideas were perfectly proper but many notions are now considered puritanical prudery, false modesty and hypocritical to no small degree. Tlicy Were Timid.

To those of us wlio can remember back 50 years and more, the great change that has taken place in the ideas of women is the most remarkable. In those days it was considered fashionable for women to be of the clinging vine type pale and sickly and ready to faint on short notice. Now the young women have gone to the other extreme and it is fashionable to be athletic and look strong and healthy they and it is gen- eraly agreed modern girls are taller and healthier than their grandmothers were. In former days a game called croquet was about the limit of feminine exercise and now school girls indulge in about all of the sports boys do with the exception of boxing, wrestling and football. Had Much Covering.

During the Victorian period the way women had to dress was something appaling. They wore Dad, And a heartache still for you. Press Wantads have repeatedly proven sure-fire result getters.

UKIAH tion and matter is referred to Probation Officer to make re- about 10 times as much yardr.ce and weight in their as they do now and their dresses, that dragged on Un; ground, wiped up the filth in the streets and during the wet weather they collected moisture that added a number of unnecessary pounds to the weight of their garments.

Some laced until they could hardly breathe and there is no question but what this shortened their days; wasp waists, as they used to call them, were fashionable and injurious. At another period they wore what was called muttonleg sleeves on their dresses and bustles and Floradora or wide- brimmed hats that looked like umbrellas. Tcok To Bloomers. About 50 years ago when bicycles first became popular the bikes had a large front wheel and a small one in the rear and these were only ridden by men and boys, but a few years later the present style was introduced and were called and then young women started to ride them. On account of their long skirts they had to have a special make that curved down in the middle but it was not long before some of the progressive young women commenced to wear large balloon-like garments that were called bloomers.

The first young woman that did this scandalized the folks, for it was considered indecent for women to wear such things. Aroused Criticism. The first women the writer ever who wore pantaloons were Chinese women in San Francisco. The white women were terribly shocked for they considered this indecent and all that saved the pantaloon-clad was they were Chinese and did not know any better. Quit The Queue.

In those days Chinese men also wore their native dress and had a long pigtail called a queue. Now the Chinese dress and act very much like white men. Ju.st One Example. In order to show how far we have traveled the writer will relate an experience that took place at Lakoport about 45 years ago. A young married woman came up from San Francisco to pass the summer and had two little girls, probably about six and eight years of age.

She was the first sensible woman in that class, the writer ever met and she was ultra modern'for those days and dressed her little girls in coveralls. This was considered the height of indecency and t.he women of Lakeport were about ready to tar and feather thi.s mother. In those days even little girls, in that class, were required to wear white dresses and if they were natural and played in.the dirt their dresses had to be changed several times a day. The San Francisco woman, above mentioned, turned her little girls out in the yard and allowed them to get as dirty as they wanted to be and there was nothing wrong about it. What was wrong was tiio liarsli Victorian standard.

Suffer Dangers. In days women who rode horseback had side saddlesi-and wore long black skirts thatJjung many inches below their feW. If they v.orc thrown they almost alwavs were badly hurt. The ijrst women that rode astride, lik? men, were almost mobbed. Many people of this generatioii never saw a side saddle.

Prudery Is Gone, The emancipation oi women is the outstanding accomplishment of the last 50 years. Now the.v can dress and act as they please, they can vote and married women can Irold property in their own name. They could do none of these things during the Victorian period, Wliile it is true some young women may have gone to the other extreme, still that is hardly as objectionable as the era of false modesty and prudery was. Time To Change. Men dress very much the same as they did 50 years ago and it is time they were breaking loose from the domination of London, Because it rains much of the time in some ultra stylish men carry an umbrella, even in a desert, because it is fashionable.

Silk hats and heavy clothes are worn in London and other men, no matter where they live, have to do likewise to be in style. We look forward to the time when men also break their London chains and dress as fortably in the time as women do. Northwestern Pacific Railroad Co.
