Bring on Your New Woman
You may talk of thenew woman,

Bring on Your New Woman
You may talk of thenew woman,
You may sneer a her and laugh:
You may greet her with derision,
You may stuff her full of chaff.
But l rise 10 say,
She's come to stay,
And prove our better half
How she pities the old woman,
Who got up before the dawn;
Who MIXED the cows and fed the pigs.
And wrestled with the chura;
Who dared aspire,
To build the fire,
Nor let the victuals burn.
Who gotall themeals the dishes washed.
Andevery Monda morn
Collected all the dirty clothes
The family had worn.
In hot soap suds
These things she rubs
Until all her strength is gone
What with raising up her children,
And the care OF pigs and hens;
When twice each week comes cooking day;
Each eve she darns and nends.
She had no time
To train her mind.
From LIES dawn to its end
With constant use and little care
The mightiest machine
Some day will break completely down,
As strange as it may seem.
It's come about
She's all worn out;
Her life's q troubled dream.
And thus. the poor old woman
Is dead, or so seem 'twould,
For she, POOR weak human,
Worked like a double team.
And now, indeed,
We sadly need
A new one run by steam.
Bring on your branc.new woman.
All fresh with health and life:
May good sense. self preservation.
Be her armor In the strife.
II no other way,
fear may
Purloin one for q wife.

"ODAY the pharmacist is a trained

L present form it has no unclean and

fore liked by women. Nevertheless, it is
only of late years that they have overcome
the former rejudices and crossed the thres-
hold of the calling.
They have a natural aptitude for the
trade, on account of their constitutional
caution, deftness and delicacy OF touch.
The first woman 10 enter the profession
in our country was Mrs. Jane Loripg, of
Boston, in 1900. She was grand-aunt
of the famous Congressman. DR.. Susan
Hayhurst was the first feminine pharma-

A MISSION FOR SOMEBODY.

T is all very well to get up reading
rooms and coffee parlors and gym
nasums for the workingman, aud
thus provide him with rational &C.
cupation and thus keep him out Of
saloOns.' said the Girl who has studied
Man, but what want to start is an asso-
citation for improving the condition OF the
men one knows. They go knocking aboutin
such an ainless way when they try to amuse
themselves! Their one idea seems to be
to start on what they themselves would call
fierce time, and they don't seem TO know
what to do with their leisure. Those who
are not in business sit at the club aud absorb
cocktails. which is undermining for their
constitutions. There is a great field open
to some one who will devise something for
them to do, and make them do it. and
there is a fine chance for some enterprisiug
woman TO step in and distinguish herself.'

Fort Myer Polo Teams.
The Devon Country Club polo team OF
Devon. Pa, will line up against the team
of the 9Th United States Cavalry Thurs
day, at 4 o'clock, on the plain near Ar
lington. The Devon club Is one of the best
in the state of Pennsylvania, and comes to
Washington prepared to live up to the
reputation 1t has established in its native
state. The 9Th Cavalry team has been
practicing faithfully since its games in
Philadelphia, and has acquired new ponies,
which are said to be the best that could be
obtained. AS the principal defect in the
play of the 9Th team in the ponies
used. it is thought that the men will make
a much better showing with the new
mounts, and close game is expected with
the keystone state club.
The two teams as they will line up will
be as follows: Devon-C. Davis English,
Harry NJ. Warren David Sharpe and Lieut..
Edward Cassatt; 9th Cavalry-Lieut. H. A.
White. Lieut.. b. b. Hyer. Lieut.. w. C.
Short and Lieut.. H. H. Stout. The captain
of the Devon team is Lieut.. Cassatt, while
Lieut.. Short looks after the interests of the
troopers in this particular. The referee of
the game will be Mr.. Clarence Moore Of the
Chevy Chase Club
The plain on which the game will take
place will be side-boarded, and tents will
be erected with chairs for the convenience
Of those who make the journey to the fort
10 see the contest. 1nOSe VINO drive Will
be assigned places around the edge of the
field.
Saturday afternoon at o'clock at the
same place the Devon team will try conclu-
sions with the Fort Myer team. This team
is made up of Lieut.. Hyer, Lieut.. Short,
Lieut.. Rhodes and Mr.. David B. Porter
The Devon team will be made up of the
same players that will take part in Thurs
days game. barring accidents.
During the early part of September the
team of the 9th Cavalry Will play the team
from Warrenton, Va, at Fort Myer, and
later in the fall will play return games with
both the teams at Philadelphia. The Devon
Club will be the guests of the Officers Club
of Fort Myer while in the city.

JOYCE'S SUCCESSOR,
Farrell to BE Found on Third This
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
Charley Farrell, who will be found on
third base for the Washington club this
afternoon, in place of Joyce, came into
prominence in the base ball world as catcher
for Anson's Chicago team in 1889. Arson is
said to have regarded him more highly than
any catcher Chicago ever had, and Farrell
willingly bears testimony to the value Of
the old mans coaching. In 1880 Farrell
played with the Chicago Brotherhood team.
In 81 he covered third base and caught for
Arthur lrwin's Boston Association team.
When the new league was formed he was
transferred TO Pittspurg, where he covered
third base in 133 games. He had an average
OF .esi. and led Pinckney, Denny Lyons,
Radford, Bassett, Joyce. Robinson, Ray
mond, Knowles, Dowd and Camp. But he
fell off in his batting, and he mad an I'M
pleasant time. He was giad to come TO
Washington in 80, when he was exchanged
Tor Pitcher Frank kIIlen. The deal caused
considerable adverse criticism among local
fans, tor killen was highly regarded, but
Farrell soon became very popular.
He covered third for Washington in thir
ty-siX games and caught eighty-three. His
average at third was $40. lie led in
catching SEriver, Miller, klnslow, OCon-
ncr, thinner, Mcclure, Clark and Kelly,
ana his percentage was SO
before the season OF "a opened he, with
Meekin, was sold to New York. He caugh,

he joined the Senators he played The best
game OF his life. lie viii do the same
lhihg again. The New York papers and
pubic have been roasting Farrell lately
ana he has not done well as he is
capable of doing, but the former expert
ence will be repeated, and ne will play the
game as never before. He is not by any
means back number. l would like to see
three or four other so-called back numbers
like him on the team"
