You must import the plotting libraries and get some historical data to create pie charts.
In this example, you create a pie chart that shows the weights of the banking securities in a portfolio if you allocate to them based on their inverse volatility. Follow these steps to create the pie chart:
unstack
method.close_prices = history['close'].unstack(level=0)
pct_change
method.daily_returns = close_prices.pct_change()
var
method and then take the inverse.inverse_variance = 1 / daily_returns.var()
pie
method with the inverse_variance Series
, the plot labels, and a display format.plt.pie(inverse_variance, labels=inverse_variance.index, autopct='%1.1f%%')
pie
method, call the title
method with a title.plt.title('Banking Stocks and Bank Sector ETF Allocation');
The Jupyter Notebook displays the pie chart.

Do it. This needs to be done soooo bad. People I talk with who are on their initial ascent up the .NET mountain are inundated with managed issues so it takes a while for them to return to C++. When they do there is some real head scratching going on reconciling the new managed universe they just met with their old, unmanged world view. And then it hits them...what IS MC++!?
---Has anyone seen a Managed C++ FAQ anywhere on the net? I haven't noticed any and was kind of curious about it. I'd love it if someone were to point me to one, if it exists.
If not, I've been thinking about getting one up and running... I think there are quite a few interesting and not-so-well known MC++ issues (and ahh... bugs) worth covering in a FAQ, but I'd like to know if anyone would find it a useful resource (or if anyone else would like to contribute).

In this section we discuss some basic, frequently used technique to fully exploit the computational power of the CUDA platform, but basically they revolve around these concepts:
Maximize parallel execution to achieve maximum utilization;
Optimize memory usage to achieve maximum memory throughput;
Optimize instruction usage to achieve maximum instruction throughput.


1. Introduction to the WiPy¶
To get the most out of your WiPy, there are a few basic things to understand about how it works.
1.1. Caring for your WiPy and expansion board¶
Because the WiPy/expansion board does not have a housing it needs a bit of care:
Be gentle when plugging/unplugging the USB cable. Whilst the USB connector is well soldered and is relatively strong, if it breaks off it can be very difficult to fix.
Static electricity can shock the components on the WiPy and destroy them. If you experience a lot of static electricity in your area (eg dry and cold climates), take extra care not to shock the WiPy. If your WiPy came in a ESD bag, then this bag is the best way to store and carry the WiPy as it will protect it against static discharges.
As long as you take care of the hardware, you should be okay. It’s almost impossible to break the software on the WiPy, so feel free to play around with writing code as much as you like. If the filesystem gets corrupt, see below on how to reset it. In the worst case you might need to do a safe boot, which is explained in detail in Boot modes and safe boot.
1.2. Plugging into the expansion board and powering on¶
The expansion board can power the WiPy via USB. The WiPy comes with a sticker on top of the RF shield that labels all pins, and this should match the label numbers on the expansion board headers. When plugging it in, the WiPy antenna will end up on top of the SD card connector of the expansion board. A video showing how to do this can be found here on YouTube.
1.3. Expansion board hardware guide¶
The document explaining the hardware details of the expansion board can be found in this PDF.
1.4. Powering by an external power source¶
The WiPy can be powered by a battery or other external power source.
Be sure to connect the positive lead of the power supply to VIN, and ground to GND. There is no polarity protection on the WiPy so you must be careful when connecting anything to VIN.
When powering via
VIN
:The input voltage must be between 3.6V and 5.5V.
When powering via
3V3
:The input voltage must be exactly 3V3, ripple free and from a supply capable of sourcing at least 300mA of current
1.5. Performing firmware upgrades¶
For detailed instructions see OTA How-To.

ProPulsion has been built using some great tools and libraries, and a lot of the credit goes their way. Here I cls them all in random order:


You can now email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>ATTN PLEASE:
I want to transfer to overseas ($15,000.000.00USD) fifteen million United States Dollars) from INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK OF GHANA, I.am seeking a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit.
To provide either an existing bank account or set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this fund, even an empty account can serve this purpose, or you help to seek an honest and. reliable businessman who can assist us.
I am HON.EDWARD TAYLOR an accountant and bank manager, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund.in.a domiciliary account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account,after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account who is a foreigner died without any traceable next of Kin hence the dormant nature of the account and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be re-channeled into the bank� reserve.
I suggest we start the first transfer with five million Dollars [$5,000.000] and upon the successful transfer of the first $5 million without hitches or disappointment from you, I shall re-apply for the remittance of the balance of the fund to your nominated account.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved for a local account here and I am not supposed to be in possession of such amount of dollars, but the fund can only be approved to any foreigner or into a foreign account.
I suggest we meet face to face to get acquainted, as the fund in question is a large one before we commence with transfer i need your full co-operation to make this work fine, as I will use my office to see that the transaction is hitch free and i will destroy all documents relating to the transaction once we conclude the transaction On the conclusion of this business, you will be Given 15% of the Total amount, 80% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of this Transaction.

15 Structs
In chapter 7 we learned about maps:
iex> map = %{a: 1, b: 2}
%{a: 1, b: 2}
iex> map[:a]
1
iex> %{map | a: 3}
%{a: 3, b: 2}
Structs are extensions built on top of maps that provide compile-time checks and default values.
15.1 Defining structs
To define a struct, the defstruct
construct is used:
iex> defmodule User do
...> defstruct name: "John", age: 27
...> end
The keyword list used with defstruct
defines what fields the struct will have along with their default values.
Structs take the name of the module they're defined in. In the example above, we defined a struct named User
.
We can now create User
structs by using a syntax similar to the one used to create maps:
iex> %User{}
%User{age: 27, name: "John"}
iex> %User{name: "Meg"}
%User{age: 27, name: "Meg"}
Structs provide compile-time guarantees that only the fields (and all of them) defined through defstruct
will be allowed to exist in a struct:
iex> %User{oops: :field}
** (CompileError) iex:3: unknown key :oops for struct User
15.2 Accessing and updating structs
When we discussed maps, we showed how we can access and update the fields of a map. The same techniques (and the same syntax) apply to structs as well:
iex> john = %User{}
%User{age: 27, name: "John"}
iex> john.name
"John"
iex> meg = %{john | name: "Meg"}
%User{age: 27, name: "meg"}
iex> %{meg | oops: :field}
** (ArgumentError) argument error
When using the update syntax (|
), the VM is aware that no new keys will be added to the struct, allowing the maps underneath to share their structure in memory. In the example above, both john
and meg
share the same key structure in memory.
Structs can also be used in pattern matching, both for matching on the value of specific keys as well as for ensuring that the matching value is a struct of the same type as the matched value.
iex> %User{name: name} = john
%User{age: 27, name: "John"}
iex> name
"John"
iex> %User{} = %{}
** (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: %{}
15.3 Structs are just bare maps underneath
In the example above, pattern matching works because underneath structs are just bare maps with a fixed set of fields. As maps, structs store a "special" field named __struct__
that holds the name of the struct:
iex> is_map(john)
true
iex> john.__struct__
User
Notice that we referred to structs as bare maps because none of the protocols implemented for maps are available for structs. For example, you can't enumerate nor access a struct:
iex> john = %User{}
%User{age: 27, name: "John"}
iex> john[:name]
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol Access not implemented for %User{age: 27, name: "John"}
iex> Enum.each john, fn({field, value}) -> IO.puts(value) end
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol Enumerable not implemented for %User{age: 27, name: "John"}
A struct also is not a dictionary and therefore can't be used with the functions from the Dict
module:
iex> Dict.get(%User{}, :name)
** (UndefinedFunctionError) undefined function: User.fetch/2
However, since structs are just maps, they work with the functions from the Map
module:
iex> kurt = Map.put(%User{}, :name, "Kurt")
%User{age: 27, name: "Kurt"}
iex> Map.merge(kurt, %User{name: "Takashi"})
%User{age: 27, name: "Takashi"}
iex> Map.keys(john)
[:__struct__, :age, :name]
We will cover how structs interact with protocols in the next chapter.

Now that there is the Tec-9, a crappy spray gun from South Miami. This gun is advertised as the most popular gun in American crime. Do you believe that shit? It actually says that in the little book that comes with it: the most popular gun in American crime.


§231-41 Statute of limitation for criminal penalties. Notwithstanding any laws to the contrary, prosecutions under sections 231-34, 231-35, 231-36, and 231-36.4 shall be commenced within seven years after the commission of the offense.

In this exercise, it's much like the previous exercise but we need to load preexisting data into the form.
Learning outcomes:
Checkout the login page on http://localhost:8000/settings (you will need to login with dashy@mlp / Password ) and open up the workshop code in frontend/src/Frontend/Settings.hs.
In reflex, we can ask reflex to give us an event that will fire when this level of FRP network has been fully setup. Think of it as an onLoad for your widget!
If we have a constraint PostBuild t m => m a
then we can call getPostBuild :: PostBuild t m => m (Event t ())
.
Wrap the settings page in a userWidget helper so that this page will only be displayed if the user is logged in.
Then call getPostBuild to get an event (I often call this event pbE). Remember that this is a call that works in the m monad, so you have to bind it in a do block.
TODO: Hint
You now have the appropriate data to be able to call Client.getCurrentUser. To make a pure value a dynamic, use:
If you've now called Client.getCurrentUser you should have an Event t (Namespace "user" Account)
around. We can use this event to set the values of the form. Events have functor instances, so we can map over them and select bits of the event to make a new event with finer grained data in it. For example:
Use this pattern to fill in all of the never values in the setValue events of the form.
You will need to collect up the output of the form into something that Client.updateCurrentUser can accept.
Just be aware that the UpdateUser type is record which has Maybe values in it. If the maybe is not set, then the backend does not update that field. So you should convert the password value into a maybe and only send an update if the string is non empty. Control.Monad (mfilter) and Data.Text (null) are your friends here. Look them up in your hoogle instance!
TODO hint.
On successful update, redirect to the profile page. You can create a route to the profile page with:
You should be able to wire this up to the success event and connect it to setRoute
TODO diagram
At the bottom of the form there is a logout that currently does nothing. Link the click event up to a tell event. Note to create an event with the classy prims on a constructor with no arguments, do (_LogOut #).

BaseTen is an open source Cocoa database framework for working with PostgreSQL databases. BaseTen has been designed with familiar, Core Data -like semantics and APIs.
The BaseTen feature highlights include:
- BaseTen Assistant imports Core Data / Xcode data models.
- Discovers the database schema automatically at runtime, including 1-1, 1-many and many-many relationships.
- Database changes are propagated to clients automatically, without polling.
- In-memory database objects are uniqued, and objects fetched via relationships are faults by default.
- Support for RDBMS features like database-driven data validation, multi-column primary keys and updateable views.
- Autocommit and manual save/rollback modes, both with NSUndoManager integration.
- A BaseTen-aware NSArrayController subclass automates locking and change propagation.
- Fetches are specified with NSPredicates (the relevant portions of which are evaluated on the database).


We did most of the heavy lifting for you to provide a default stylings that incorporate our custom components. Additionally, we refined animations and transitions to provide a smoother experience for developers.
By utilizing elements and principles of Material Design, we were able to create a framework that incorporates components and animations that provide more feedback to users. Additionally, a single underlying responsive system across all platforms allow for a more unified user experience.
We have provided detailed documentation as well as specific code examples to help new users get started. We are also always open to feedback and can answer any questions a user may have about Materialize.

generic¶

class
schablone.generic.
generic
[source]¶ Stack layers svg file templates and replace text.
The generic class contains core functionality of the schablone library. It can create SVG files from sets of SVG file templates and fill them in with text. Though, the steps (exceppt the first step) may be mixed and executed redundantly, in general this is a three step process:
- store frame SVG file
- stack layers of svg file templates
- fill in texts and images
generic inherits from baseSVG.
For stacking the template layers, schablone depends on svgutils. To fill the resulting file with content the texts are substituted. For this purpose svglue is being used. The Templates containing content intended to be filled in, must have tags representing them (rect, tspan, flowpara) with a custom attribute template-id. Each template-id must have a unique identifier. These identifiers are represented by the class members cpt_tspan, cpt_flowpara, cpt_rect.
Example
import schablone.generic generic_svg = schablone.generic.generic() generic_svg.overwrite = True genLabel.width = '200' genLabel.height = '200' genLabel.cpt_tspan['static_txt'] = u'Replace some text here.' genLabel.cpt_flowpara['flow_txt'] = u'Also flow text may be replaced.' genLabel.layer.add('tmpl_layer/tmpl_layer_1.svg') genLabel.layer.add('tmpl_layer/tmpl_layer_2.svg') genLabel.layer.add('tmpl_layer/tmpl_layer_2.svg') genLabel.create_qr('http://www.samp.le', 'qr.svg', 160, 160) genLabel.layer.remove(1) genLabel.save('sample.svg')
Note
The generic class contains the core functionality of schablone. All further classes are derived from generic.
Variables: - layer (layer_pack()) – Paths to the layers of templates.
- cpt_span (dictionary) – Pairs of name of the template-id and the corresponding text intended to substitute.
- cpt_flowpara (dictionary) – Pairs of name of the template-id and the corresponding text intended to substitute.
- cpt_rect (dictionary) – Pairs of name of the template-id and the corresponding path to the image intended to substitute.

Committee formed to restructure FBR into Pakistan Revenue Authority
by https://www.facebook.com/dunyanewsISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – As the federal government has expedite the reforms process for restructuring the entire tax machinery and introduce centralised collection of general sales tax (GST) on services and goods, a seven-member steering committee has been constituted under the supervision of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) chairman Shabbar Zaidi.
Importantly, four subcommittees have also been formed to put more effort into the matter.
The committees are tasked to look for the future status of the tax authority under the federal government as attached department or semi-autonomous body or completely autonomous.
Other issues which the committees will look into relate to recruitment, retention, capacity, remuneration, financial autonomy, organisational structure and work process.
On Oct. 3, Prime Minister Imran Khan convened an important meeting to approve the proposed structure of the Pakistan Revenue Authority (PRA) and field formations. These reforms are part of the World Bank-funded ‘Pakistan Raises Revenue Project’.
The plan aims to restructure the incumbent Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) into Pakistan Revenue Authority (PRA) with a deadline of June 2020.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance has been preparing a comprehensive framework for the PRA and centralised GST collection on services by the PRA.


Preparation time
less than 30 mins
Cooking time
over 2 hours
Serves
Serves 6-8
This dish takes some time but the oven does most of the work for you.
Preheat the oven to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1.
Heat a large casserole dish and add the oil and octopus. Add the tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and chilli (you can add a little more oil if you like). Place in the oven for 2 hours, check every now and then to make sure it’s not catching the bottom of the pan.
For the salad, place the potatoes into a saucepan of salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes depending on the size, until done. Drain and set aside.
Wilt the wild garlic and agretti in a frying pan with a little oil. Then put the garlic and agretti in a large bowl with the cucumber and chicories. Add the potatoes and mix. Season with salt and pepper.
For the dressing, heat a small frying pan and add a little oil and the anchovies. Cook until they dissolve and then add the remaining ingredients and whisk. Just before serving add the dressing to the salad and mix.
Serve the braised octopus with the salad alongside.

The Requirements for Silver document is the next phase in the development of the next major upgrade to accessibility guidelines that will be the successor to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 series. The Silver Task Force of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group and the W3C Silver Community group have partnered to incubate the needs, requirements, and structure for the new accessibility guidance. To date, the group has:
The Requirements for Silver is published as a joint effort of the Silver Task Force of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group and of the W3C Silver Community Group. It is a work in progress, and comments are welcome as Github Issues or by email.
This is the second phase of the Requirements developed during Q1 2019 after months of protoyping work. We anticipate one additional phase in Q3-Q4 2019 after months of evaluating how well actual content can be developed for Silver.
People with disabilities can face problems using online content and applications. Disabilities can be permanent, temporary, or recurring limitations.
We need guidelines to:
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 were designed to be technology neutral, and has stayed relevant for over 10 years. The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0 has been implemented in the open source authoring tool communities (chiefly Wordpress and Drupal) with little known uptake in commercial authoring tools. UAAG 2.0 offers useful guidance to user agent developers and has been implemented on an individual success criterion basis. There is no known user agent that has implemented all of UAAG 2.0.
Silver builds on the WCAG 2.0 Requirements of 2006. The WCAG 2.0 requirements are:
Silver wishes to advance the WCAG 2.0 Requirements of:
Silver does not want to advance the WCAG 2.0 requirement: "Ensure that the revision is 'backwards and forward compatible'" . The intention is to include WCAG 2.x content, but migrate it to a different structure and conformance model.
The WCAG 2.1 Requirements are very specific to WCAG 2.1 and will not be advanced by Silver. Silver plans to migrate the content of WCAG 2.1 to Silver, but the WCAG 2.1 Requirements document referred to structural requirements which are specific to WCAG 2.x.
The WCAG 2.1 Requirements are:
Silver will have a broader scope than WCAG 2.0 and 2.1. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are scoped to Web and to Content. Silver is being designed to be able to include:
The current project design does not intend to write separate specifications or normative requirements for the technology stack beyond digital content. The goal is to provide information that technology venders can choose to use to improve the accessibility of their products to support the guidelines.
Introductory text about the research efforts undertaken, with pointers to methodology and results
The research done in 2017-2018 by the Silver Task Force, the Silver Community Group, and the research partners was used to identify the key problem statements related to the current accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.x, ATAG 2.0 and UAAG 2.0). See the Silver Research Summary slides for more detailed information. These problem statements were used to identify the opportunities for Silver to address that will improve accessibility guidance.
During the year of Silver research, a recurring theme was the popularity and quality of the guidance in WCAG 2.0. Most of the opportunities identified in the research were improvements in the structure and presentation accessibility guidance to improve usability, to support more disability needs, and to improve maintenance.
In addition to the above research, an issue was raised about how to apply accessibility evaluation and conformance to large and dynamic web sites which are updated frequently. This led to development of Challenges with Accessibility Guidelines Conformance and Testing, and Approaches for Mitigating Them. Suggestions in that document are an additional source of input to these requirements.
This document has two sections: a Design Principles section and a Requirements section. Requirements need to be measured or clearly demonstrated. They are used at the W3C phase of Candidate Recommendation, where the Candidate Recommendation Transition Request reports that the requirements were met. Design Principles are important statements that are less measurable, but are used to guide, shape and steer decision-making during the development process of Silver. Both are essential in guiding the development of the Silver project.
The Problem Statements describe areas identified during the Silver research in 2017-2018 that can be addressed in the new guidelines. Each problem statement also has an opportunity section that is the basis for the Silver Requirements.
There are several areas for exploration in how conformance can work. These opportunities may or may not be incorporated. Then need to work together, and that interplay will be governed by the design principles
The Silver Design Principles are based on the requirements of WCAG 2.0 and build on those requirements to meet needs identified in the Silver research.
Accessibility guidelines should:
The creation process for the guidelines should:
Previous W3C Accessibility Guidelines described how to make web pages accessible to people with disabilities. These guidelines provided a flexible framework that has kept the guidelines relevant for 10 years. Changing technology and changing needs of people with disabilities has shown areas where they could be improved. The requirements are drawn from the research performed by Silver to improve the guidelines, and the suggestions from the Silver Design Sprint.
The Silver Requirements are high level and will be expanded and refined as Silver members move through the prototyping process.
All Silver guidance has tests or procedures so that the results can be verified. In addition to the current true/false success criteria, other ways of measuring (for example, rubrics, sliding scale, task-completion, user research with people with disabilities, and more) can be used where appropriate so that more needs of people with disabilities can be included.
Create a maintenance and extensibility model for guidelines that can better meet the needs of people with disabilities using emerging technologies and interactions. The process of developing the guidance includes experts in the technology.
Make the guidelines available in different accessible and usable ways or formats so the guidance can be customized by and for different audiences.
Guidance should be expressed in generic terms so that they may apply to more than one platform or technology. The intent of technology-neutral wording is to provide the opportunity to apply the core guidelines to current and emerging technology, even if specific technical advice doesn't yet exist.
The core guidelines are understandable by a non-technical audience. Text and presentation are usable and understandable through the use of plain language, structure, and design.
The Guidelines provide broad support, including
The Guidelines motivate organizations to go beyond minimal accessibility requirements by providing a scoring system that rewards organizations which demonstrate a greater effort to improve accessibility.
The guidelines provide guidance for people and organizations that produce digital assets and technology of varying size and complexity. This includes large, dynamic, and complex websites. Our intent is to provide guidance for a diverse group of stakeholders including content creators, browsers, authoring tools, assistive technologies, and more.
The following people participated in the Design Sprint of 2018 held in San Diego, California prior to the CSUN AT 2018 conference. We thank them for the generous gift of time that they donated to the Silver project.
These researchers selected a Silver research question, did the research, and graciously allowed us to use the results.

By the time I had turned over books and keys and put things to rights in the office of the financial promoter, it was twelve o'clock.
The office building was situated just where four great thoroughfares converged into a main street, like Broadway, New York, at 42nd Street; or Yessler Way, Seattle. * Workers were pouring out for the noon hour from the leather and cigar factories across the bridge, from the big departmental stores, and from the insurance buildings. There were literally myriads of young girls. I had never noticed them so closely before that day, when for the first time I felt myself a part of the great army of the new economic era, when for the first time I felt the solidarity and cohesiveness of this great World of Work.
I watched the throngs pouring out for the noon hour. I do not need to tell you, do I, that the women and girls in the offices wore airs of grand duchesses of the Vere de Vere type * to the women and girls of the departmental stores; and that the women and girls of the departmental stores wore the grand duchess air to the women and girls from the factories; and I suppose the women and girls of the factories would a try the same airs on the scrubbies * of the basement, snobs all the way down the scale, trampling one another's chances. Yet all were fellow workers in the great new economic army of the World of Work. What menaced one menaced all. Laws defective for one were defective for all. Lack of protection that might injure one might likewise injure each, or any, or all of that army of workers. Men had their lodges, their fraternities, their labor unions, to help in time of stress; but this army of women workers, more easily menaced because they were women, what had they? They had not even a standard of physical fitness; of personal defense; of value in the eyes of the law as an economic asset to the nation. These were the mothers of the coming race; yet the law would punish the maiming of a cow with fourteen years' imprisonment; the maiming of a woman or girl with two years; the theft of a colt with five years' imprisonment; the theft of a little girl worker, abduction, I believe, is the ugly word describing it, with two years' imprisonment.
Of the 450,000 people, more or less, who will have to pay an income tax in the United States, it is estimated that less than 40,000 are women. Of the wage–earners in the United States, seven millions are women. Standing on the street corner, watching the army of women workers, it did not require prophetic foresight to gauge the revolution in values bound to come when this army of women workers wakens to a consciousness of its own solidarity and cohesiveness, wakens to that freemasonry of comradeship that exists among all classes of men, without any confusion of coal scuttles with silver spoons.
There and then I took my resolution. As between this little coterie of women
whom the world called favored, protected,
and this great
army whom the world called workers,
unprotected themselves,
but protecting others, I took my stand with the workers.
Why?
They stood for plus.
They represented a marching army, progress forward, not that stationary excellence for which reactionaries fight and which to me means atrophy to the powers of the soul.
They needed help, and, more than help, they needed the comprehension, not of charity, but of independent, self–respecting comradeship.
Then, if the Christ–creed was to be anything more than an anodyne for an uneasy conscience, what ranks offered better scope for the helpfulness and service of that creed than this army of women workers?
Also, there was another reason. It came faltiringly then. It comes falteringly
today. The modern world has literally been robbing the home of woman's vocations
for fifty years. Nursing, teaching, mending, weaving, butter making, plain
house-keeping—have been supplanted by the hospital with the professional
nurse, the school with the professional teacher, factory clothing, factory
weaving, factory food, the departmental store, the apartment house. If the
process of robbing the home of woman's vocations continues with the accelerated
progress of the last fifty years, will the day not come when the unoccupied
woman, the rich woman, the woman who has not married, or whose children have
grown and gone out of the home; when the girl who wants an occupation and is
past the teens when fripperies fill an occupation, will the day not come when
this smaller coterie of women will ask permission to come down and out of their
idleness into this army of service? Isn't this practically the meaning of the get-together
clubs in every city in the United
States, where the women who work and the women who don't meet for mutual
helpfulness? Isn't it the meaning of the terrible divorce court tragedies of the
idle hands? Lady Bountiful, passing out largess with kid gloves and a forty-rod
pole, is not needed as ensign-carrier in this army. Charity is always cheaper
than justice. What is needed is not charity. What is needed is a new noblesse oblige;
*
to teach the toilers to sing songs
of joy again over their looms; a Sisterhood, not of Discontent, but of Service,
in which the weakest and the poorest and the meanest will be girt with the
defence of the strongest in time of stress and danger. Will women work this
problem out, as men have worked it out in their fraternities?
It sounds easy, this resolution; but it wasn’t. Of a very large connection on
both sides of the house, we were the only family where a woman ever became a
wage-earner. It was bad enough to be obliged to do it; but to glory in it! I can
hear some of the spurious wails yet. One good relative, I recall, warned me it
would totally ruin my manners for society. Another good dame, who was not
related and had just come West in time to receive a tail-end blow from the Panic
*
, used to sit bewailing by the
hour that her "dear girls should ever need to work." She had set her face like
flint against that need, telling her daughters it was the duty of father and brothers to take the blasts of the world,"
till
the father took so many blasts that he ran away to New York with an adventuress;
and one son carried the load till he used government funds of which he was
custodian, so that his mother had to mortgage her home to keep him out of the
penitentiary; and a second son ran away from home to escape an impossible
burden. When the third son married and left the sisters in the lurch, they
turned out and wished they had met the challenge of fate half way before.
Another woman, I recall, who had been a somewhat famous opera singer in her day and married a financial broker in our city, perhaps more decent than Mr. Blank but also more flamboyant, was so determined that the world should not know they had been hit by the panic that she moved her entire establishment over to the new palatial hotel which the railroad had built, and there entertained elaborately and dressed as of old in Paris imported gowns, and set her face like flint against the new order. Perhaps, it was her way of helping her broker husband not to lose his customers. Perhaps, it was her way of working, though she declaimed that under no circumstances should a woman ever become a wage-earner; but no one was bluffed but the bluffer. We all knew that the hotel carried their account for $10,000 that year, in return for her husband's influence as a lobbyist in railroad matters; and the strain of pretending she had what she hadn't sent her to a Paris nerve specialist at the end of a year, where only the agility of a nurse prevented suicide during nervous depression. Personally, I think that woman worked a great deal harder for her living than those of us who openly joined the army of wage-earners.
I remember telling a very dear woman relative my resolution to fight for the army of wage-earners as well as with them and of the dangers that must menace many a lonely girl worker who had no strong circle of loyal friends to gird her round with companion-ship and safety.
Why do girls go into employments where there are such dangerous
associates?
she demanded indignantly. No girl ought to
be exposed to such dangers. No girl ought to leave her home, if there are
such dangers outside it.
My answer I wrote in one of those little autograph albums which were the rage at the time. At the top of the page I penned her words-Girls Ought not to Go into Employments Where There are Dangers? Below I wrote one of the rhymes, that now hummed through my head of nights in place of old Solomon's epigrams:
Having been entrenched with the triple protection of father, husband, brother, I know she had not the faintest idea what I meant.
I did not get off the car opposite my home. I rode to the end of the car track and walked out on the prairie, where the purple wind flowers were just breaking through the snow. I wanted to walk in the tossing rough spring wind and to think in the clean open spaces.
What reason had I to give for resigning a twelve-hundred a year job in time of such financial stress? I had been bound to the wheel, and had at one stroke cut the bonds. You can't explain that Astarte * and Moloch * may have reincarnations in our modern system dangerous to youth as the old circle of fire and drugged wines. Some future historian will narrate that of our day. We, ourselves, refuse to take cognizance of it. No man, or woman, has battled out the contest of life without meeting the same challenge. It is the eternal challenge. Our temptation to barter what we know is right for the crust of bread called a living always comes, when we are in the wilderness spent of body and soul; when we feel that those we love are dependent on the selling of our souls.
 Jump over the precipice of right and wrong; then expect Heaven to save
a smash; as you, perhaps, have saved others!
Heaven doesn't! There is no
fence of miracles round Life's precipice, though we break our necks to save
those we love! Don't think you'11 meet the challenge only once! You'll meet it
every day you are in the game of life; not as downright and honest spoken as
Satan in the wilderness. That's why I like the clean-cut way Christ sent Satan
about his business! Most of us haven't that sense!
When I reached home two or three friends had come in for afternoon tea. An
animated discussion was going on about somebody who had lost a position in civil
service through the hard times. You don't think there would be
any chance in your office ?
someone asked.
There might be,
I answered. I have just
resigned.
If I had thrown a bomb into that little group, I couldn't have caused greater consternation.
Well,
gasped one auditor, who belonged to that category of
women whom George Adam Smith *
has
described as the cow that tramples more corn than it can
ever eat.
"Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make
mad.''
Only two people did not agree with her; my mother, who did not speak at all, and
that daughter of a friend to whom I have already referred — the girl with
I won't,
born on her very lips.
It is sometimes a good thing to have the spirit to challenge life before it challenges you. This youngster had jumped into the discussion with her sleeves rolled up before I had a chance to offer any explanation.
You did perfectly right,
she burst out. I
wouldn't stick in an old office in your state of health. What's a salary if
you give your life for it? Industry be diddled,
she asseverated with a
stamp. I guess the life of one single soul is of more value
than all industry, if Christ wasn't a big liar! I guess there is something
more in life than plugging for a living! I want to live: not merely exist!
 As to sacrificing herself! Bah!
Sheep and the shambles!  If I were in that kind of trap,
I'd jump out if I had to break my neck —
You might break your neck,
wailed the woman who had thought
it criminal of anyone under any circumstances to resign a gainful occupation in
such hard times.

As we all knew she lived up to her creed of defying life's challenges, a laugh greeted this sally.
She waited till the others had left.
I bet a hill of beans, you couldn't stand that old shin plaster
another minute, she at once exploded. Her whole life was an explosion of
temper and laughter and tears and storms and actions. I used to wonder if
she were still when she slept.
Mr. Blank is one of the kindest—
Waugh,
she interrupted in Sioux lingo;
but he yappies too much. He's kind first, last and altogether for what he
gets in return for himself; and you know it; and don't you lie about it!
What are you going to do!
Hike for the higher altitudes, I guess, where the ozone is
champagne.
She bounced almost out of her boots.
You are to come back to the ranch with me.
She was living
on a ranch at the foothills of the Rockies.
I declare if I have to go back there alone, I'm going to
cultivate conversation with jack rabbits and coyotes.
I tried to stem her torrent and explain that when medical debts and lame ducks and home had been cared for there would be less than $50 left, and that a semi-invalid would be a nuisance and a burden in a home where the only help obtainable consisted of disreputable old squaws; but she swept my objections aside in a torrent. Fifty dollars was loads and bushels and stacks of money. She almost insinu ated that if we had more, we wouldn't know what to do with it. We could use the ranch horses and rent an extra saddle for the summer at $5; she thought it probable that she could borrow an extra saddle. Her brother was in the railroad offices. It seemed the business of the ranch was to sell beef cattle to the dining car department; and she would go and see the divisional superintendent and obtain a pass that very week. She was as good as her word. She left for the mountains the next day; and posted a pass back to me inside a month.
Now, the question I ask myself is this-sup posing I had not bad a pre-natal rebel for a friend; would I not also have passed to the immeasurable human scrap heap? Supposing when I closed that other door to wrong oppor tunity ("winnow not with every wind" said the prophet) that her indomitable spirit had not unlatched the other door as you and I and all of us of the Sisterhood of Service can un latch without cost or effort to ourselves, doors of opportunity to the cul-de-sac of other lives, would I not have perished in the trap, or died bound to the wheel, as thousands, tens of thou sands of lives perish every year for want of a little dauntless thoughtfulness?
I had set out in life wanting passionately to know if suffering were necessary, challenging the pious blasphemy that it was God's will women should suffer ill; and I had come far enough along the road to know that the most of misery is unnecessary, entirely human and hand-made, quite as much of it resulting from fumble fingers and thick brains as from deviltries; and the most of it from sheer dense egoistical, stupidity.
I had learned that you can't break law; it breaks you; but
I had to go a pace farther along the road before I found the way out that nature ever faithful is to such as trust her
faithfulness
; that, if you kick against law, you'll only bark your
shins; but that if you harness law and steer with it, not against it, there
is no harbor of human happiness whither you may not sail.
It all cost some horribly acute growing pains of the soul. Don't grin in a superior fashion! Those who have not had growing pains may still have their growing to do; and wisdom teeth come hardest when they come latest. It was the change from a fetish faith to a faith in a Larger God that gave me my worst growing pains at this period. Sometimes, out in the mountains, flat on my back in the sun, while the horse grazed at the end of a tethering rope, this sort of thing would come to me faster than I could write it in a book I usually carried in the saddle bag and read at noon:
Or this:
The night I resigned, when I sat down to read to my mother (we had neither of us men tioned the fact of my resignation), I opened George Adam Smith's poetic interpretation of Isaiah as the epic poem of a race adjured by the passionate and inspired singer to come back from the whoring after false ideals, please note that word whoring, and grow to the stature of its national destiny. (Of course, we do not need such passionate, inspired singers to-day for a money-mad age whirling dervish dances round the umbilical cord of its own ego.)
The first words I read were, In returning and rest shall be your confidence. I turned a few pages, where Smith has rendered the original in English blank verse. For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on; the covering narrower than he can wrap himself in.
My mother had the most calming presence I have ever known in a human being.  The red of the lamp shade seemed to accentuate the chiseled white profile in the half dark of the room.
I am glad you resigned,
she said. I felt
all along that the time would come when you would. It has served its
purpose.
And when one door closes behind?
I asked.
When the half gods go, the true gods come,
she answered
with that faith of the little child, which cannot doubt. Read
those lines of George Adam Smith again.
They are not Professor Smith's. They are the prophet's: In
returning and rest shall be your confidence: For the bed is shorter than
that a man can stretch himself on; the covering narrower than he can wrap
himself in.
I wonder if that is why we go askew!
she asked. I wonder if God's plans are so much bigger than our creeds
that like new wine they burst the old bottles?
What do you think the first means?
I asked her.
She sat perfectly still without answering for a moment; then smiled as quietly as if my little world of faith had not smashed down; as if, indeed, the panic had not torn the little world of the whole half million population of the state at that time up by the roots like a plowshare driven through an ant hill.
Read it again,
she said.
In returning and rest shall be your
confi–dence!
It means,
she said, "what you are going to
do when you go to the mountains and cast yourself in confidence and peace on
the eternal laws of God."
And that is exactly what happened. I can no more describe the process of healing
in body and soul than you can describe the process of rebirth when a night rain
falls on parched ground and all the slumbering seedlings come through with green
hands that clap in gladness to wind and sun.
It is utterly the same with life. Work like the furies incarnate, if you like, till you learn what the law is, what the trend of it is! Catch that, and it will carry you past all rocks, perhaps not to the haven of your desire, but to the destiny to which the current of the law carries, whither you have to go willy-nilly; and whether you arrive whole or smashed depends on whether you go with the current of God's law or against it!
My friend was a tonic. She fought and jounced my convictions at every turn as I fought hers, which is infinitely better than the softening sympathy that turns pity in on self.  So much of our misery comes from the corrosion of acid discontent in the repose of our better natures that this activity, giving no time for morbid thought, went far toward healing.  You have to take hold of yourself; or you will break your neck.
Also, it was a stage in the West's development that can never again be repeated
in American history. Frontier was giving way to pioneer. Ranch lands, where one
cow had had roaming ground over a thousand acres were being carved up into the
settlers' quarter sections. The newspapers were still disputing as to whether
farmers could grow wheat in the dry inter-mountain empire. The first
transcontinental to cross the Divide in this part of the Rockies had just been
completed; and the hordes of Chinese and Italian navvies had scattered to the
lumber mills and mines of the mountains. I remember after turbid spring floods
and summer thaw bringing down the snow of the upper peaks, at the period when
the tin-horn gambling hells and saloon dance halls were running full blast, of a
Monday morning after a Sunday celebration, as many as ten dead Chinks
would be washed up on the sand bars in the
river. Sometimes the dead man washed up would be white. Even then, few inquiries
were made. If you didn't want to go over the precipice, keep away from the edge;
for there was no mistaking the red light of danger on that edge!
Yet, with it all, womanhood was safer than in the padded parlors of civilization. Why? I asked my friend's brother that question once.
Because every man jack in this camp knows that if he as much
as looked disrespect at a decent woman, he would be cut into scraps in about
two seconds; and there would be no coroners' inquest,
he answered
savagely.
I had a forcible illustration of this not long after I went out. My friend and
her brother were going for a Sunday to one of the silver camps up from the
foothills half way to heaven, as he expressed it. We had set out at daybreak on
Saturday with the peak where we were going plainly ahead of us, but we lost
sight of it when we left the foothills and plunged into the heavy hemlock
forests to cork screw up a zig-zag trail barely wide enough for a horse. Fool
hens, or mountain grouse, flumped up heavily and bobbed and nodded at us from
logs by the side of the trail. Marmot would come scrabbling up from the rocks
and whistle shrilly as a school boy. Sometimes you heard a raucous cry overhead,
and, looking up, you could see through the gray-green Spanish moss, a bald-head
eagle perched lonely on the topmost tip of a dead branch. Here, a turn in the
corkscrew trail opened vistas to the upper peaks shining opalescent in a
cloudless sky. There, you had skirted the sharp elbow of a precipice; and were
neck deep in fog thick as wool at cloud line. Another pace and turn, you were
above cloudline in the flawless sunshine again. Wherever a coulee cut and
trenched down the mountain slope, there you would see the rough prospectors with
their sacks of tools following the float,
or signs of metal,
up the stream bed to the head veins. In this way, the most wonderful galena *
veins of that country had been found.
Washed or unwashed, shaven or rough with weeks in the wilds, at sight of a
woman, the roughest man's hat would come off. Even the Chinks would stand off
the trail and simper a How-do.
It wasn't air we were
breathing. It was some compound of distilled sunbeams brewed up with about a
thousand years of oil of healing from the pines. Every switch-back on the trail,
we would pause and give our horses a breath. I drank and drank great breaths of
the dew washed resinous air. My friend looked over her shoulder and kicked her
feet free from her stirrups to ease her horse.
Isn't it a scrumptious joy to be alive and kicking?
she
said.
 Wasn't that the trouble in this restless life of pressure in the cities—humans were chained up to serve things, instead of the things being chained up to serve the humans? Freedom beckoned to us from the glad world of the out-doors; and we sat glooming in our own self-created despairs till eyes I could not see God for our maudlin tears?
Just where the trail ran into the long single street of a raw, new, unpainted mining town, built with the back doors overhanging the brink of a brawling mountain brook, a fog came drifting out of the pass followed by a drenching rain. My friends were not sure that a drenching rain would be good for me at that stage of the game on a two days' trip, and asked if I would mind staying in the hotel of the little mining town for the night, while they went on up to the silver camp :fifteen miles farther. The brother was to collect the money on some beeves shipped in, and the sister did not like him to come down that trail alone with so much ready money on his person. I told them to go ahead, by all means. It would be fun to see the new camp.
I would not go out after dark if I were you,
called the
brother, as I took refuge under the hotel veranda. Saturday is
pay day, you know, all the miners and lumber jacks will be down from the
hills.
The hotel had board partitions of one ply, unpainted; and there was not a door in the house with a lock. After dinner, I propped a chair back under the door knob of my room so that it could not move without wakening me; and I fell into a sleep to defy the crack of doom. The grand duchess, who kept the hotel, and I were the only two women in a harum–scarum population of about two thousand; that is, the only two women except some little painted, almond-eyed girls across the way in a Japanese dance-hall, I believe they called it. It should have been called hell.
I seemed to hear the pour of the rain in my sleep, the roar of the brook, the tap-tap of little feet across the way to the strumming of some strange oriental string music, when I suddenly came awake to an explosion like a powder blast. The rain had ceased. Moon light silvered the room ; and the brook tore behind the house less boisterously as of deeper waters; but the roar filled the canyon and shook the house. The lumber jacks and miners had come down from the hills ; and I do not think there was a faucet or spiggot or bottle or barrel, or saloon or gambling joint, that was not doing a wide-open business all that night. The houses could not roof a tenth of the population. Men were auctioning whisky in tin cups from the tops of kegs in mid-road. They were gambling and dancing and sitting and sleeping in every variety of posture in the open street. They reminded me of a disturbed ant hill or caterpillar nest. It was a bit boisterous; so I did not go down for supper; but sleep was out of the question. The barroom was directly under me and I could see what was going on through cracks in the floor.
Toward midnight, the drunks were fighting drunk. I thought they had exhausted “the swears'' of every language under the sun earlier in the evening; but when a stiletto drunk Italian and a shillalah * drunk Irishman began shouting in unexpurgated vernacular on exactly which part of each other's anatomy they intended to vent their international love, anything I had heard before seemed like a school's first reader compared to an unabridged Webster. Just when a yell seemed to forewarn instant murder, there was a scuffle-scuffle of feet. Two bodies seemed to be dragged toward the railing of the back piazza above the brawling brook. There was a thud, then a splash, then tremendous roars of laughter; another thud, another splash, more shouts; and the crowds rushed back to the barroom for drinks all round. Good fellowship would last till a Polack and Russian, a Jap and Chinaman, would begin discussing each other's ancestry in colloquial westernisms. Then, the thud and the splash would repeat themselves. This lasted without breathing space till five Sunday morning, when the chill of the mountain air drove the rioters back up the hills, that is, those of the rioters who could still use their legs. Hundreds lay sprawled in the roadway or curled up on saloon steps sound asleep.
A knock came on my door at six, the bar–room below was still brawling
louder than the brook, and the Chinese waiter from the dining room asked me if I
would please come down and have bleakfast at once; my palty
from the mines would be down in a few time, and I was to meet them at the
end of the camp t'wail a mile out.
I hadn't time to tell him to send breakfast up before he trotted downstairs; and
I didn't relish passing the open barroom door, whence the smell of rum came
reeking up stronger than a gin mill and the brawling outsounded the brook.
Someone must have heard me coming down the stair; for the bar-tender rapped on
the bar with a glass.
A cowboy stood at the door with my horse. He helped me to the saddle and told me
where to find my party waiting a mile down the trail. The road was literally
littered with unconscious drunks. Set tight to the leather and
keep a sure stirrup,
he advised. Some of them
booze-busters might scare your broncho!
I gave the horse a little kick to put him past the saloon fronts quickly; and he shot out so suddenly that away flew my watch. Before I could turn the horse round, a dozen men were on their feet to get it. The grizzled fellow who handed it to me took off his hat and wished me a pleasant trip.
The incident was typical of the West in its wildest era. A woman was safer than in a missionary meeting or a young ladies' semi–nary, that is, a woman who was not a fool. A woman who was a fool, or careless of the respect due her womanhood, could have all the folly on tap in the shortest time possible. At the very period when the mountains were infested with discarded gangs of navvies * and roving prospectors women had begun taking up homesteads. You came on their tiny log cabins in the big timber country; or their ten by ten shacks anchored to the prairie by posts at each end, as you rode down from the foothills.
One trail my friend and I used to follow passed half a dozen shanties of girl homesteaders in a ride of forty miles. The thing that struck me was how many of these girls were foreign-born, naturalized citizens
Why do you think that is?
I asked. Why
don't American girls do that sort of thing more? To be bound to the
industrial wheel isn't much more independent than the old game.
She reined up her horse and thought a moment.
Oh, convention has such a strangle-hold and we're so
democratic,
she explained, that we spend most of our
time hanging on with our eyebrows for fear we lose caste.
You don't,
I answered.
But would I have done so if we had lived Down East where
everybody would have cocked an eye at me? Don't I do what I sweet please out
here because we are so secure of our position that nothing matters?
Then you think that it's the women up at the top and the women
down at the bottom, not the half-way-ups, that will get rid of that
strangle-hold for women and form the great Sisterhood of Service?
I don't know what you mean by Sisterhood of Service! I don't
think women are ever very sisterly to one another! You're always shooting
some transcendental sky-rocket past my head into clouds; but if you want to
know what I think of half-way-ups, I think they'll always fool you; they are
so scared out of their wits they might slip down a peg.
Let's go in and meet some of these homesteaders,
I
suggested.
All right! We '11 water our horses here! I know this girl, she
is teaching the district school, while she puts in her homestead duties.
We dismounted opposite a gate formed of two posts looped with strands of wire. A robust woman of twenty-four, or thereabouts, tanned and weathered by wind and sun, came to the shanty door. Life had been cut free from all strangle-hold of the artificial here. Shanty and equipment could not have cost more than $50. A biscuit box had been extemporized into a book shelf, where lay two or three magazines, a Balzac and a Bible. The bed had been built sailor-berth fashion against the wall. Another box set up on four crossed legs formed the table, from which we shared her evening meal of bacon and eggs. From the window covered with dimity curtains we could see her broncho tethered out on the prairie. A big dog lay snapping at the flies in the sun. It seemed, she had begun life as an operative in a watch factory in Switzerland. Then, she had taught a tiny hamlet school in her native land.
But the wages were not $25 a month,
she explained. I could never get ahead on that. What's the use of a woman
pretending she is independent, unless she is independent? So I emigrated,
came steerage; and worked my way out here somehow, and got a position in a
mission school at $50 a month; but if women are going to be independent,
they must study out ways of being independent, the way a man does; so I
thought I might as well be putting in home stead duties while I taught, and
get some sit fast spot on earth I could call my own. This is my last year
of homesteading. Next year, I prove up for title.
Will you sell?
I asked. Later on, land in the locality of
this woman's homestead, sold at $50 an acre.
But no,
she answered. I want an inglenook
of my own always. I'll bring out my father and mother.
She told us that except for midsummer, when a friend from the nearest town joined her, she lived alone, riding to and from the mission school on her broncho.
Of course,
she said, on winter nights, the
coyotes smell the ham cooking and come howling under the window; but my big
St. Bernard drives them off; and I don't know that there is as much to fear
from these sort of wolves as from the kind of wolves you meet in town,
and she laughed.
I suppose she felt our attitude of tacit challenge. Her words recalled those dream wolves of my childhood, Anxious Fright and Want, which this form of economic independence drove off the heels of pursued womanhood. Her words also recalled the dire predictions of the study chair theorists about individualism menacing motherhood and the economic independence of woman modifying the tendency to marriage, and so leaving the propagation of the species to inferior types—you have heard the arguments— haven't you? If I had put it that way, she would not have known at what I was driving; so I came at it another way.
Yes,
I said, as we helped her to clean up her supper dishes
before going back to our saddles,but if you had stayed on in
Switzerland, you would probably have married some neighbor's son, and had
your own little home and family.
She almost snorted her disdain, But no,
she declared. If I had stayed in Switzerland, we would have been so poor
that I could not have afforded to have children. I would not have wanted
children. If I had had them, with the high cost of living, I could not have
done justly by them, they would have had to join the armies of Germany or
France.
And now?
laughed my friend.
And now when I marry,
she did
not say if I marry, I'll have something to do for my children;
There will be no unwanted child of mine.
My friend suddenly sobered. You will remember she had been born with I won't
on her lips because she had been an unwanted
child. We both of us rode away thoughtfully. A long line of Indians went filing
up over the foothills, the men on horseback and many of the women on horseback,
too; but one aged squaw brought up the rear of the procession afoot with a
bundle on her back half the size of herself. We both reined in. My friend
pointed with her whip to the old squaw, who was burden bearer, silhouetted on
the crest of the hill, and to the girl homesteader’s shanty, at the foot of the
slope.
The old and the new,
she said; "and the
new is only at the foot of the Great Divide beginning to climb.
Suddenly, she whirled on me in one of her tempest moods.
Look here,
she said. You know my life and
its handicaps: I know yours: what do you think of this whole business of the
change in woman's position? It is more than economic. It is really a change
in the relation of the sexes.
I answered with a question: Do you think
the day will ever come when women are not bartered chattels in marriage;
when there is no unwanted child; when children will be conceived not in
sin but love; and will be born not in travail but in joy?
She leaned forward with her elbow on the saddle pommel, and her chin in the palm of her gauntlet.
It's coming now,
she answered pointing to the girl
homesteader's shanty; but when we looked up for the aged Indian woman under the
huge bundle, she had dropped over the crest of the hill.
When the dawn bursts in perfect day, I want to come back and
see the new type of human race,''
she went on. '' I
want to see human beings, not born tired from overwrought mothers, and kids
not born criminals from their parents' blood, and youngsters not born scared
and squally at life from the time they open their eyes because of the fright
in the heart of the mother who carried them! Of course, there are always
confusion and waste and suffering in time of a great transition! Do you
think that you or I would have got out for ourselves if life hadn't taken us
by the scruff of the neck and pitched us out to sink or swim? Do you think
my Aunt Maria would have gone out and rounded up a herd of steers in a
blizzard?
(Her Aunt Maria was a notorious snob.) Of
course, it hurts in spots; but that only takes the coward and the slug and
the skulk and the shirk and the pretence out of our woman hearts; so that
only the fit survive; and I want more than ever to come back and see the new
type of human race in a hundred years.
A lantern light twinkled in the girl homesteader's little lone shanty.
Our great grandmothers did that kind of thing,
she nodded
down, two hundred years ago, when this continent was first
pioneered and settled. It is we, who are the generation of half-way-ups,
neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring! As we have grown in wealth and
civilization, instead of working out a new free code of freedom for
ourselves, we've imitated the social code and standards of an effete old
world, that is weary of its own life to extinction and is discarding the
customs we are taking for the very salvation of our souls.
The bed is shorter than that a man may stretch himself on, I quoted.
And new wine bursts old bottles,
she laughed. Let us go home on the lick.
And we went over the crest of the foothills in a moonlight I can describe only as floods of silver. Just where we swerved into a ravine, some settler had been trying out some new drought-resisting variety of wheat, and where we skirted the wheat field, a coyote, earth color and couchant and still as stone, leaped across our trail and loped off into the wheat.
Chase him! Chase him !
she shouted. Don’t
let him go! Let us run him down! Wolves hamstrung ten of our colts last
winter. Run him down, run him down!
and off across that settlers' farm
we galloped, through wheat heavy headed and high as our saddles,
fol–lowing only by the rise and fall of the wheat to the fore, where the
skulking thing would run crouching and then take a flying leap in the moonlight.
He was making for the rough ground of a coteau, where a noisy stream came
tumbling down from the mountains.
Head him off,
she shouted. You keep the
field. I '11 take the stream bed,
and in she plunged girth-deep; but the
wolf was too quick for us. He gained the stream and crossed it at a bound. So
did we; but when he went up over the rocks, we reined in glowing wet and
panting.
What in the world do you think you would have done if you had
caught it?"
I asked.
She leaned forward and unstrapped her saddle pocket. Inside was not a book,
which I usually carried, but a revolver. (It reminded me of what I had once
heard a town man say. Brute force! Bah!
he said. There has been no ascendancy of brute force since the
invention of the little gun. When women learn to take care of themselves as
men take care of themselves, they will be free and strong as men, mothers of men, not mothers of cowards and
imbeciles.)
She was aglow with health and exuberant life.
I am!
Then it came back to me in a flash. In returning and rest shall be your confidence
: the moving picture
films of dreams, the half naked figure flying before the wolves; the vestured
and hooded figure of death in the wheat fields, dead ripe below the upper Alpine
meadows, where the disimprisoned waters laughed down from the upper peaks; and
the whole world was flooded in moonlight that was silver, and the very hills
echoed to the laugh;ter and gladness of the waters. She let halloo after halloo
of sheer life out of her as we trotted down by moonlight that was silver to the
ranch house; and I laughed. This time, the figure did not fly before the wolves;
but the wolf fled before the figure, as all wolves flee before womanhood when
you turn and face and fight and pursue.
It is not part of this narrative to relate how I was begged to remain out in that free open life. The call of the open spaces needed no coaxing with me. Every year from that day to this, I have heeded the call once a year and gone out to the healing of forest and mountain and upper Alpine meadow; but a keener call had sounded in my soul, the call of Life, of zest, of service, of gladness in work, of a part in the great army marching to a new day; and like my friend, I would like to come back in a hundred years and see the new type of humanity, when suffering has eliminated the shirk and the skulk and the slug and the parasite and the sheep; when the dawn of a new century — woman's century— has grown to full and perfect day! No more book lore for me! No more culture snobbery! No more Chinese foot-bindings of caste upon my soul; but rather life and the thick of it, strife and stress, hard or easy, learning the cohesiveness and solidarity of the Sisterhood of Service!
Yesler Way is one of the oldest paths in Seattle. It became home to various groups of immigrants including African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Eastern Europeans and Filipinos.
*This is potentially a reference by the author to the English poem "Lady Clara Vere de Vere" written by Alfred Tennyson in 1842. The poem is about a lady in a family of aristocrats, and includes numerous references to nobility, such as to earls or coats of arms.
*Definition: stunted, inferior, shabby
*Definition: the inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with generosity and nobility toward those less privileged.
*The author could be referring to The Panic of 1907 which was a financial crisis that took place in the United States over a three-week period starting in mid-October, when the New York Stock Exchange fell almost 50% from its peak the previous year. Panic occurred, as this was during a time of economic recession, and there were numerous runs on banks and trust companies. The 1907 panic eventually spread throughout the nation when many state and local banks and businesses entered bankruptcy.
*Astarte is one of a number of names associated with the chief goddess or female divinity of both Canaanite and Phoenicians. Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war. Her symbols were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus. Astarte was worshipped in Syria and Canaan beginning in the first millennium BC and was first mentioned in texts from Ugarit. She came from the same Semitic origins as the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, and an Ugaritic text specifically equates her with Ishtar. Her worship spread to Cyprus, where she may have been merged with an ancient Cypriot goddess. This merged Cypriot goddess may have been adopted into the Greek pantheon in Mycenaean and Dark Age times to form Aphrodite. She is referred to in the Hebrew Bible and is referred to by some as one of God’s Old Testament rivals.
*Moloch is a name or term that appears several times in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the book of Leviticus. The Bible strongly condemns practices associated with Moloch, which appear to have included child sacrifice. Since the medieval period, Moloch has often been portrayed as a bull-headed idol with outstretched hands over a fire; this depiction takes the brief mentions of Moloch in the Bible and combines it with various sources, including ancient accounts of Carthaginian child sacrifice and the legend of the Minotaur.Moloch has been used figuratively to refer to a person or thing demanding or requiring a very costly sacrifice. A god Moloch appears in various works of literature, such as John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667), Gustave Flaubert's Salammbô (1862), and Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" (1955). He is referred to by some as one of God's Old Testament rivals.
*Smith was a reverand, theologian, Chaplain-in-Ordinary and a Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Subjects.His Atlas of the Historical Geography of the Holy Land (HGHL), published in London in 1915, remains a standard reference book until today. He wrote 13 works before 1915 that could be referenced by the author in this chapter.
*A bluish, gray, or black mineral of metallic appearance, consisting of lead sulfide. It is the chief ore of lead.
*A short club made of hardwood
*A navvy is a laborer employed in the excavation and construction of a road, railroad, or canal.

The Stand (originally television mini-series) Chad'z rating: ***1/2 (out of 4 = very good) 1994, not rated, 366 minutes [6 hours, 6 minutes] [drama/horror] starring: Gary Sinise (Stu Redman), Molly Ringwald (Fran Goldsmith), Jamey Sheridan (Randal Flag), Adam Storke (Larry Underwood), Laura San Giacomo (Nadine Cross), Ruby Dee (Mother Abigail), produced by Mitchell Galin, written by Stephen King (based on his novel), directed by Mick Garris.
The horror genre seems to be dying a slow death in Hollywood. Even Stephen King's film are learning more towards surrealistic drama than straight horror and "The Stand" is a perfect example of this. The story is a long and complicated one, but it has much plausibility to it and it becomes more frightening on a metaphysical level than any horror flick could ever be, period.
The story starts off simple enough about a virus manufactured by the government, but something goes wrong and all the scientists who manufactured it die immediately. Only one man and his family manage to escape the base, but do not escape the virus. By the time their car crashes halfway across the country in east Texas, they have inadvertently spread the disease because it is so communicable. The military attempts to quarantine the town, and perform experiments on those who have become sick, but it does no good.
We then meet many different characters throughout the U.S. who are somehow immune to the virus while the rest of the planet dies off within a week. The supernatural villain here is not the typical horror movie monster, but just invisible germs, and this is what makes the film so scary because it's an original, realistic nemesis. To think invisible, one-cell organisms could destroy the entire planet's population so quickly is disturbing indeed.
Many of these characters have dreams about a farmhouse in Nebraska. They meet an old black woman named Mother Abigail (Dee), who warns them of the coming apocalypse and to beware of the "Dark Man." It's obvious she and her words are symbolic of the ultimate powers of good versus evil. The moody lighting, the music, and the sudden camera movements combined with Abigail's dialogue warning them of the devil, all adds up to an atmosphere that is both fantasy and brutal reality at the same time and is quite sensational.
Because the film is over six hours long, the story is slowly paced, but is always interesting to watch. Every character here is chizzled with detail (although some can be annoying and cliche), just watching them going through the motions, learning about their destiny, and their interaction is great.
The story is so epic and detailed I won't attempt to summarize the plot any further. Basically it is a modern mythological tale of the final showdown between good and evil with the characters representing the greater forces in the universe. The only problem is they don't necessarily know who or what they are working for, nor really care.
Sometimes just hinting at elements of greater beings and/or powers makes for great mystery, suspense, and philosophy (i.e. "2001"), but here it's a bit too commercial to see it as the grand story it puts itself forward as. The film has the potential to be a "Star Wars" of modern-day Earth, but because it was made for television, it downplays its supernaturalism into a story of good guys vs. bad guys.
Perhaps "The Stand" tries a too hard to be a fantastic odyssey, but it's certainly entertaining and moving for what it is.
