begun an agitation in behalf of the prison

rebellion against the federal government.
Strong efforts will be made to restore to

ransom. The prisoners, some belonging to
respected families OF the peninsula, are
treated in captivity as barbarously as ever
were Spaniards among the Moors. They
are compelled to do drudgery and the most
mental offices for their captors. Women
prisoners are mostly employed in cooking
and washing, while the men are forced to
cut firewood and timber.

Various Items.

IN medieval times, when life was
very insecure, it was usual for people
to sleep on bed which was surrounded
by sides of board, with strong posts at
the four corners. These sides contained
sliding doors, which could be fastened
inside. When men retired to rest they
took weapon with them. If attacked
in the night they were aroused by the
noise made by the crashing in of their
wooden defences, and were able to de-
fend themselves. When the law be-
came strong enough to protect human
life the sides of the bedstead were
gradually dispensed with, but the four
posts remained. The box.like bedstead
still survives in the rural parts of Scot
land, and is almost necessary where the
earthen floors and imperfect ceilings
cause much damp.

Housekeeping and HOmemaking.

Housekeeping is not always homemak-
ing, and the modern woman is beginning
to find 1t out. To live for the house and
Its glory is one mode of existence. An
other mode is to make the house exist for
the sake of the people who are to adorn it.
The former is housekeeping; the latter is
homemaking. You can discern the differ
ence between "a home and house directly
on entering "a domicile if you are half way
observant. You can tell by the books and
the tides and the arrangement of the di-
vans and the pillows and the lamps. The
real state of things is in the atmosphere
and is as discernible as though written on
the wall

Women Teachers in North Carolina.

In 1856 teachers of public schools in
North Carolina received higher salaries
than in any other state in the Union. Our
average monthly salary then for female
teachers was $500 In New Hampshire
1t was 1888. Since then North Carolina
women have gone into nearly every profess
sion known to men, into factories by the
thousand, and today, as then, the best and
most useful calling known to women and
that in which they are best fitted by ma
ture and training is tho instruction Of

For the Wise but Wide Woman.

The woman who is hampered by SUI.
perabundance of "too, too solid flesh 4"
that will not melt in spite of care and ex-
eroise, Is very much puzzled oftentimes as
to the manner in which she may most eff
fectively clothe this excess avoirdupois so
as not to call attention to it.
One thing she who is at once wise and
wide has already learned, and that is not
TO draw her clothing tightly about her. as
that only accentuates her size, but to have
loose draperies that skillfully conceal the
outlines. Another thing she knows, and
that Is that she must not wear lustrous
materials, as they only add to the appar-
ent stoutness.

would never have been put down nor the
country saved. Woman Tribune.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Tell Her So.

II you love the girl you are counting,
And would win her for wife.
DO not let the other fellow"
Spoil your happiness for life.
Do not think that she will guess 1t,
And her heart on you bestow,
II you love her and would wed her
he man and tell her So
II the girl you love and welded,
Long has travelled by your side,
If the years have come and vanished,
Since she stood your blushinR bride,
DO not school your heart to GOODNESS,
Love should broader, deeper flow;
II she's been to you a blessing.
DO not grudge to tell her so.
Fond words now are just as precious
As when she was first wife,
And she will prize them all the dearer
Mid the tolls and cares Of life.
And when sorrow fills your household,
Share with her the bitter woe;
Sympathy uplifts the burden.
Love will dull the sharpest blow.
II she soothes your pain in sickness
And in health makes glad your life.
Don't ignore the loving service,
just because she is your wife;
Though she hides the bleeding foot prints
When the thorns have pierced her feet,
Can't you see that they were wounded
Oft to make your Joy complete2
Do not wait to sound her praises
TIL the patient face ia hid,
With its lines of care and sorrow
Underneath the coffin lid
Then your loving cannot gladden.
The still heart that rests below.
Fer 1t is too late to say It,,
II you love her, tell her so. Exchange

Charged with Abduction,

CHICAGO, Oct. Maud Steidel, who
was abducted from st. Joseph, Mo-, by
Father Dominick Wagner, of st. Mary's
church, in that city two weeks ego,
was found in Chicago last night by de-
tectives. The brother-in-law of the
priest. is under arrest, charge with
completely in the abduction. The girl
was traced by means of shipment of
furniture the priest made to this city Ill :
der an assumed name. Last Wednes
day night number of friends of the
girls family gathered about the parish
house and threatened to lynch the
priest, but he escaped by back door.
The girl admits that improper rela-
lions existed between her and the
priest and that it was arranged for her
to come here and live with him in fur
nished rooms.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. Upon in

nick Wagner, pastor of st. Mary's

the charge OF having abduct-
ed Maud Steidel, the 16.year-old

ness of the evidence against him and

that he will be admitted to bail. Wagner

inc Durrant n1urder Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The most
important witness the defense has yet
secured to testify in behalf of Theodore
Durrapt, charged with the murder of
Blanche Lamont, is DR.. Frederick W.
Ross. On his testimony, supported by
that ofothers, the defendants attorneys
expect to prove that Durrant could not
have been in front of the Normal
School at seven minutes past two
o'clock, the time Mrs. Vogel testified
ho made his appearance there. They
expect to prove that Mrs. Vogel was
mistaken in her Identification of their
client, his whereabouts having been &C.
counted for up to 2:30 o'clock, but be.
yond that point they have no witness
who saw the accused until he appeared
at Emanuel Church.
Already calculations are being made
for Durrant's safety should the verdict
of the jury be unsatisfactory to portion
of the community. 1t is believed that
unless he should be convicted an at
tempt at violence will be made, but
everything will be ready to meet such
an emergency should it arise.
