Don't Try to Do Too Much.

"A man who works in an office or store
six hours of the day does not return to his
home and recover furniture, or paint floors,
or even mend his own clothes. No one ex-
poets it of him. A woman, doing precisely
the same work for the same number of
hours, will hurry home and work upon a
dress or hat or embroidery, or some work
about the house The result is that nearly
all men succeed in business life and very
few women Not that men are more cap.
able; they are simply more sensible. They
choose their work in the world and give it
their strength and time. Women must be
content to do what they can, not to at
tempt the impossible.
If you are a good housekeeper thank
heaven for it, and attend to it. If you are
good bookkeeper attend to that and be
thankful, but don't attempt to keep house.
1t is not fair to yourself or to the work you
are paid to do to distribute your energy
upon dozen different occupations. Why
women should be expected to do SO much
is question. 1t isn't men that exact it OF
them, it's "other" women who are not sat-
isfied that their sisters should be indus
trious and comfortable in their own way,
but insist upon their attempting all sorts
of unreasonable experiments. The time is
fast approaching when sensible women
will learn to make choice of one work in
the world and abide by it, be it housekeep-
ing or business life.-Boston Traveller

yaklng Out Grease Spots.

A correspondent asks how to take wagon
grease out of spring overcoat. Wagon
grease makes the hardest kind of stain to
remove from clothing, and we are there
fore very glad to give recipe which has
never been known to fail if proper time is
allowed for the ''charm" to work. If one
could step behind the scenes at cleaners,
benzine and French chalk would be found
to play deservedly important part in
making "old clo'" look like new, but we
were told by professional that amateurs,
almost without any exception, leave a ring
when they try to remove spot with the
former.
II folded piece of clean woolen goods
is placed under the part to be cleaned, a
second saturated with benzine, rubbed gen.
tly on the way of the nap, another dry
piece used at the last and the spot rubbed
until perfectly dry there will positively be
no mark left.
French chalk requires little more time
to remove grease, but has the advantage
over benzine in being odorless. A piece
that will last long time may be bought
at any druggists for five cents. Scrape
this thoroughly on the spot over night
and brush off gently in the morning. II
the stain is bad one it may not have dis
appeared. In this case the application may
have to be made again. New York World.

A HERO SAVED.
How Bob Baker Rescued the Banner
at Los Gatos.

How Bob Baker Rescued the Banner
at Los Gatos.
At the big fire in Los Gatos the heroes
ralliedin force, and the deeds of cour-
ageous daring done on that occasion will
live in the memory of the Los Gatos
man SO long as reason shall hold seat
in his distracted GLOBE" says the San
Jose Herald. eg s41s ~
Today at the firesides--this is stretch
ing point, for the firesides are not
really doing much of a business in this
hot weather-the story is told with
men rushed pell-mell for the burning
and how the wives and daughters and
mothers of them sought to hold them
back by frantically grabbing at their
arms and legs. ss
And one name in that heroic band
stands out in dazzling relief, and when
the scroll of fame shall be taken down
to be revarnished then the name of Bob
Baker will be written at the top in let
ters foot long. Na
Bob is the captain of the Los Gatos
baseball team and member of the Ma
tive Sons. He is also as handsome as
picture and sufferer from Sutterville.
The latter accomplishment stood him in
good stead at the big blaze, as the reader
will presently see.
The fire was but an "incipient con-
fagration," as the fresh news man has
it, when Bob rushed frantically for the
ladder which was raised against Nc
Murtry's building. In that building was
the lodgeroom of five societies, and their
reposed the beautiful silk banner OF the
Native Sons, that cost $500.
One foot was on the lower rung of the
ladder when he turned and addressed
the crowd:
"Fuf-fuf-friends and fuf-fuf-fellow citi-
zens, pro-pro-psopose to rescue that
b-b-b-banner or d-d-d-d-die in the at
tempt"
He turned and placed the other foot
on the rung. Five minutes had elapsed
and the fire threatened to envelop the
entire structure.
Don't go, Bob," said tremulous
voice, you are risking your life.
Bob turned and faced the crowd once
more, look OF dauutless resolve on his
clear-cut, handsome countenance.
Observation-Disclosures m-m-m-mis-
under-st-st-stand me-" he heroically
exclaimed. 81 said 1 pro-pro-pro-

ner or d-d-d-d-die in the attempt,
and that's what mum-mum-mum-
mean, and d-d-d--don't you fuf--
fuf-fuf--forget it,"
He turned again. Ten minutes had
gone since he begun to speak and the
building was now a mass of flames.
"For Heavens sake, don't 60, Bob,"
implored his friends.
Again he turned his pale, courageous
fact to the crowd below him, and there
was the expression OF martyr in his
deep-set eyes as he responded:
"It's no nee, fuf-fuf-friends, for you
kuk-kuk-kuk-cant dissuade nae. My
mum-mum-mind is fuf-fuf-fxed.
Pm going to get that bub-bub-banner

For the last time he turned from the
crowd to the threatened building.
But the building was no longer there.
1t had burned down.

THE ATHLETIC CLUB DIRECTORS.

They Decide Not to Offer Purse for
Hergitt and Soto.
At meeting of the directors of the
Los Angeles Athletic club on Wednesday
evening, the proposed twenty-round
contest between Soto and Hergitt was
called off. Six of the directors were in
favor Of having the match come off, but
they needed another vote in order to get
a three.fourth vote, which is necessary
according to the bylaws of the club.
Quite number of the club members
will be disappointed with the action,
but not those who are anyway posted on
such matters. Messrs. Thayer and Con-
ant were appointed committee to make
final arrangements for securing an ath-
letic park for the club. This piece of
news will be hailed with delight by
every true lover Of legitimate sport.

Care of a Deformed Child.

The care and training of perfectly
strong child is serious matter, though
fortunately the task is so lightened by
parental love that it's full seriousness is
rarely felt except in discouraged moments;
but when the child is handicapped by some
physical ailmcnt or disability the task be-
comes even harder Then the rules and
systematic care which are perfectly satis-
factory for healthy child have to be mod
ified, perhaps thrown aside, and other
methods of management substituted.
Sometimes the changes have to be made
not only in opposition to well grounded
practical methods of rearing children, but
also directly across the grain of our firm
est convictions of what is right for children
to do or be- No intelligent parent doubts
for moment where his duty lies in such
cases, for the supremest duty for him is to
develop and guard his child, regardless OF
rule, conviction or personal discomfort.
The child is the vital part of the problem,
and the prescribed key can always be re-
lied on to find the requisite solution.
In the case of young children changes in
regimen are oftener made in mental and
moral training than in the physical.
Parents and teachers are more apt to ap-
preciate that the preventive ounce of tact,
consideration or sympathy before the men
tai or moral nature has been warped out of
its healthful groove far outweighs in its re-
suits the curative pound That there
should be the same careful prevention Of
physical ills in child no one will deny,
but the trouble is that few realize just
when prevention should begin, and how
long and steadily it should be continued
Too often ailments or weaknesses are al
lowed to run without any conception Of
their destroying power so long as a child
is not decidedly i'll. The slight deviations
from health are not noted, and the idea
that something serious portends is not
dreamed of.-Harper's Bazaar.

Pantry Conveniences.

It may we'll be the pleasure, as it is the
duty, of every housekeeper to see that the
pantry is kept in good condition. 1t is in
large sense criterion of the habits of
the person having care of it. If disorder
and lack of neatness are found here it
will extend to the whole house. When one
has the planning of house it is always
well to place the kitchen and pantry where
they will have q north or northeast expos
ure. Especially is this important when a
refrigerator is to stand in it.
There should be at least one outside win
dow to the pantry, particularly IL food is
to be kept there, and two are better to give
a draught of air. Instead of covering the
shelves with papers, which must frequent
" be renewed, it is we'll to use white oil
cloth, which comes quite cheaply now
This can be neatly tackled on, and with 6
little care will last for years. 1t is easily
wiped off, and it also gives a very cleanly
air to the whole pantry.
!. AS far as possible have either tin OF
wooden boxes, with tightly fitting covers
for the dry articles, such as sugars, corn
meal, oatmeal. beans, etc. Let each be
plainly labeled and have its own place, so
as to be found at once. Too many persons
let such articles stand in paper bags, which
are liable to be upset or broken. and also
invite mice, and cockroaches and other ver-
min.
Either cover the floor with oilcloth or
have good coat or two Of paint applied;
both are easily cleaned. A chest of drawers
in the pantry is great convenience, where
towels. kitchen tablecloths, ironing sheets,
holders and recipe books can be kept. The
unsightly -four barrel may easily be con-
cealed by making closet under the pantry
shelf, the entrance to the barrel being by a
hinged section of the shelf, which can be
lifted TO give access to the barrel.-Prairie

The only two stations with faster rec

fact that Axtell and Allerton, two OF the
fastest four stations in the world, were
bred by man named Williams, who
formerly drove milk cart in the city OF
Chicago. Allerton is years old, and
looms us a formidable candidate for
stallion championship honors. Nelson,

has won two races since Mr.. Rose sold
her fortnight ago. Rinfax made his
first appearance in several weeks and
ran second at Saratoga. When the son
of Argyle gets to be himself, it will take
a crackerjack to beat him. Racine was
