In the opinion OF Agnes Hilton, as ex-
pressed in the Chautauquan. the advent
of fashion requiring a woman to be able
to do something more than cling and con-
Sume must tend to good II 1t does nothing
more than reduce the number of the help
less creatures. She Is not new in the
world; not new anywhere in the world.
For, the woman Of all countries and times.
the woman who has breathed her soul into
all human progress, the most numerous
woman of civilized lands and especially
OF the United States. has been and Is a
woman strong, capable. economically q
producer OF wealth. and socially equal to
her man or any other man of her environ
ment. l cannot think Of a more appro-
pirate way of bringing forward this old
fashioned builder Of civilizations than to
recall here the Introduction to an old
mans will which fell under my eyes few
years ago. After the formal introduce
tion, the old man went on to say that his
wife had worked with him for more than
half a century, that their fortune was as
much the creation Of her hands as of his:
of the estate as rightly hers to dispose OF
as might seem right to her. The words
were plain and sober homespun from the
speech Of daily life. There was no sign
In them Of a feeling that he was doing
anything but a simply just act toward a
partner In business But what a recogni-
tion was there of the dignity and rights
OF that partner! He did not leave her
half of his, but all OF her own; he did not
give because she had nursed him In sick
ness and stroked his ha.r the right way
when he was excited or angry. He might
have ascribed his acton to her devoted
tenderness and faithfulness to her wifely
dutifulness-and In so doing have hui
INFLATED her. How much better than that
did this plain American man do by saying
that the half was her own. by right Of Gre
alton, to do what she liked with! "The
new woman Of the clubs will have hard
work to get up abreast OF this old-fash.
Toned farmers wife"

Finally, as to plums:

For canning greengages or blue plums
prick the fruit with a fork to prevent
bursting. Prepare syrup allowing two
pint Of water to every three pounds Of
fruit. When the sugar Is dissolved put in
the fruit and heat slowly to boiling point.
Let 1t cook ten minutes. Skim out the
fruit and place in jars. Let the syrup boil
another ten minutes, then pour over the
fruit and cover at once.
Canned blue plums make delicious pies
for wlnter use. Spiced plums are fine with
meats. The damson plums have the best
flavor. To seven pounds Of fruit add three
and a half pounds of brown sugar. one
pint OF sharp vinegar and one ounce each
of cinnamon. cloves and allspice. Scald
them three times and put into Jars.

Issue of $500, OOO,O 600 gold bonds for
the purpose of retiring the legal
tenders and treasury notes be-
gan in the house today and con-
,tinued for six hours. 1t developed
widely divergent views at the outset.
The silver Democrats and Populists
opposed it outright. Some of the
administration Democrats, like Hall,
Of Missouri, favored substitute
on the lines of the Carlisle bill, while
Mr.. Reed, the leader Of the Repub-
licans, after a speech charging the
present trouble to the deficiency

authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to sell per cent coin bonds to
keep up the gold reserve and creti-
fcates on indebtedness fedeemable
to the pleasure of the government to
pay current expenses until the reve-

The issue of gold bonds, he said, would
discriminate against the coin bond OF

favored the issue OF gold bonds. The

CITY Fathers Confer With the
Court House Com
mission.

The annual meeting of the North
western Hardwood Lumbermen's asso-
citation was held yesterday afternoon at
the West hotel. The organization is
made up of manufacturers and dealers
in other than pine lumber at Minne-
apolis and st. Paul and points IN
Western and Central Wisconsin and
Minnesota, and has for its objects solely
the advancement of the interests OF the
trade.
About sixty members were present at
the meeting, which opened at 2 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon with tins annual
address of President W. Z. Bailey, OF
Minneapolis. President Bailey's ad-
dress was somewhat lengthy, and after
dealing with the subject of grading III
hardwoods, he took up the business sit
uation. denouncing the practice OF fool
ing with the tariff in congress, holding
that it was subject which ought to be
settled out of politics. Mr.. Bailey also
commended the present system of ma
tional banks at some length.
The committee OH grading reported
upon the subject OF liking the grace ol
common and better in red oak, recon-
mending that the Grade of common and
better be made the percentage of so per
cent. first and second clear,in all woods.
1t was formerly 65 per cent clear and S5
per cent better. The recommendation
was adopted, with an additional recon-
incubation that eight feet should be
standard length in common. The SUD-
ject OF grading was discussed at con-
siderable length, and occupied the at
tention Of the meeting for the greater
part of the afternoon. Upon the adop-
ton of the committees report, however,
officers were elected for the ensuing
year as follows:
President. w. c. Bailey, of Minneap-
OILS; vice president. A E. Peterson, of

Other Reasons Why We Get

Paine's Celery Compound a Perfect
Remedy. 81
Better Even Than Rest and
Change for the Weary.

The more infinitely all kinds Of work
become subdivided, the more same
ness and monotony creep into each
mans labor.
Day after day, day after day, in the
same rut till little interest remains in
the work, and the mind and body are
gradually robbed of energy and healthy
elasticity. Unless something is done
the prolonged strain is likely to result
in health failure; nervous symptoms
appear, cares that were once lightly
cast off now stick like burs, slight
physical exertion tires, and the end is
complete prostration and breaking
down of some vital organ.
Business men feel this, public Of
ficials, wage earners, housekeepers,
every man and woman whose work
allows of little or no rest and change.
At the first small beginnings of ner-
vousness, or when languid feelings do
not disappear after a cound nights
sleep, the prudent person should know
that he or she must check this decline
in health by the use of that one gen
uine nerve food and blood remover,
Paine's celery compound.
The family physician knows its
power over diseases of exhaustion and
debility when he orders it, as so many
careful practitioners are now doing in
every city and small town throughout
the United States.
AS soon as one has fairly begun to
use Paine's celery compound, every
day will be a firm step toward assured
health. Nervous, unhappy, and feeble
persons find their flesh becomes more
solid, a more healthy color takes the
place of the waXy, sallow look, and
there comes a clear increase in the
volume of the blood and an increased
normal appetite because of this rapid
feeding of the entire system. Work
becomes easier.
This searching tonic goes at once to
the very causes of nervous disaster
and breakdown 1t is invaluable in
all wasting diseases, in all cases where
unusual demands are made on the
system. Especially is it true in the
case of mothers and invalids recovering
from sickness.
Paine's celery compound has saved
thousands from mournful years of
feebleness, from the WEAKNESS of pain
and from bodily weakness. 1t means
health and happiness.

Long Session of the Cabinet in
Which the Matter Is
:. Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The cabinet
was in session today from before 10
O'Clock until after 2:45. 1t is understood
that almost the only subject Of discus
sion was the pending bond issue. Sey-
eral prominent New York bankers are
here, among them j. Pierrepont Nor
gan, and, while they have neither seen
the president nor Mr.. Carlisle, it Is I'M
derstood their views on the situation
were conveyed to the president today
No authoritative statement Of the char
acter of the cabinet discussion can be
made, but it is believed that no final
action has been determined upon. 1t is
understood that negotiations with repre-
sentatiyes of London bankers are in
progress with indications of an early
contamination.
There is no longer any expectation OF
popular loan to be placed in this
country, as in that event the experience
of the last few months would be re-
peated and the gold reserve again de-
pleted. The purpose of the admins
tratlon, it is understood, is TO place the
entire issue of honds with London
bankers, who would pay for them with
London gold and thus avoid. for the
present, at least, the necessity of paying
out gold in exchange for legal tenders.
While no definite conclusion has been
reached, it is believed that the an
nouncemeht of the sale Of the bonds
will be made at all early day.
