The custom OF rewarding meu who
act as spies for the police is most
pernicious one and cannot be aban-
doned too soon A police officer
approaches some fellow who he
knows is willing to sell his soul If
he has any, and promises him nice
sum of money if he can "catch" a
certain party in violating the law.
The spy gets sufficient cash on hand
to work" the case and ii he finds
that it will be difficult to succeed he
joins some other fellow and the case
can then easily be fixed" The men
will go on the witness stand and
swear the liberty OF any person
away in hope Of the promised re-
ward. Even if the fact of their ap-
pearing under promise Of being
paid in case OF a conviction is
proved the courts here accept their
evidence. Courts elsewhere don't.
The regular paid detectives can as a
rule surprise aud find law breakers
and procure witnesses who will tell
the truth and expect no special pay.
The spy system should be abandon
ed at least in the manner it has been
carried on during the past few years,
1t has been one OF the main causes
of unpopularity Of the present ad-
ministration.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Her Increased Rights.

Slowly woman is winning her con-
tested rights. A few months since
Cleveland judge decided in case
where wife has money and the hus-
band has none, the former is RESPONSE
BILE for the latter's tailor bills, rec
IGNITION of woman's equality before
the law that occasioned great rejoic-
ings among suffragists- and tailOrs.
And now comes Judge Gibbons of Chi
cago, with a decision in a diverse suit
even more fn-de-siecle. In the case
before his honor, the plaintiff was
woman of means, while the husband
was a penniless invalid. The husband
applied for alimony and was given it,
the judge saying that ''every reason
of right, justice and morals is in favor
of the proposition that the duties
which the husband and wife owe to
each outher are reciprocal. The light
is breaking. 1t only remains for
second Daniel to come to judgment
and give some downtrodden husband
a divorce from his wife on the grounds
of non-support, to fill to the brim
woman's cup of joy and give her a re-
alizing sense of the new dignity of
perfect equality. But when the law
begins to make non-voting wives pay
alimony to their voting husbands, it
is about time that even so blind-fold-
ed a goddess as Justice sees that wOm-
an is a real creature who has an in
dividual existence.

Wage-Earning Women.

Concerning the complaint of men
that women 'are taking the bread out
of their mouths" there was time
when a woman left to support fam
lily, could make living by tailoring,
cooking, plain sewing, washing and
ironing, keeping house for wages, or
by copying papers for lawyers. But
men have set up tailor shops and fac
tories for ready-made clothing; built
steam laundries; invented the club
and it's luxuries for wealthy bachelors
who might want housekeepers; hired
men as cooks and walters, and invent
ed the typewriter When women
found themselves crowded out of
these lines by the advance of inven-
ton they turned to the men and ask
ed all sorts of work, taking what they
could get-doing mems work and get
ting woman's pay for it.
1t is noticeable, too, that girls rare
ly work for themselves alone; there is
usually an old or an invalid mother,
father unable to work, or younger
brothers and sisters. And as for old
er women who work, there is so often
lazy or a bad man to blame that
men would better not look too closely
into the matter if they wish to state
so strongly that women work simply
to get men out of work. AS for young
women not marrying now they work
for living, that is good remark of
the young woman in the treasury de-
partment at Washington: -"Well, you
know girl doesn't want to give up
$1,000 place for 5000 man,

paper for few cents. Beyond that,
he need feel no anxiety. He need not
worry about tyranny; there will be
none. He need only satisfy himself;
no one else. Not a human being will
obstruct his going. And if, here and
there, stray specimen of the dreaded
young girl happens across his path,
he need give himself no uneasiness of
mind. She will get out of his way
So, why this complaining?"

The Girls are in the Way.

In the October Ladies' Home Jour
cusses the plant of certain authors,
that young girls are in our way of
having a strong, forceful liturature.
They argue that these offending
young girls constitute the majority of
bool-buyers and readers, and that
they insist upon having smooth, pref
ty and conventional reading matter"
Mr.. Box is evidently disposed to treat
this protest in a facetious spirit,
pointing out to the writer's how they
can pursue literature in accord with
their own desires and aims, without
disturbing the young girls, or pub
fishers either.
cit is very strange Mr.. Box we'll
says, chat certain of our authors
should so constantly complain of be-

writing about the great truths of life

feel so. The world is large, and all
ways are open to those who wish to
travel them. If authors want to go
into the darkest and vilest sewers of
human life why should they not?
Every man is his own master. And
after any author with such a mission
has thoroughly saturated himself
with the atmosphere of the places he
has sought, then let him write of
them. He will not offend any one. No
one will disturb him-least of all, the
publishers. Certainly the young girl
will not. Refined and well-bred wom-
en- will not annoy him. Decent men
will not obtrude themselves upon him;
they are busy with weightier affairs.
So, why should not the author anx-
ious to solve the problems of life go
ahead and solve it? There is no
reason on earth why he should feel
any sort of thraldom. His facts are

Hot Mullins for Breakfast.

Hot mullins are delicious for break
fast, but unless the sponge is set at
night and an hours attention given it
in the morning it will not be good.
Mullins are easily and quickly made,
but one must have quite hot oven,
but yet not so hot as to scorch.
The following recipes are excellent
if directions are carefully followed:
White Popovers.-Pu two cupfuls
of sifted -four and a saltspoonful of
salt in a bowl, pour over it one cupful
of water and one cupful of milk very
slowly, little at a time, stirring it
in we'll that there be no Jumps. Have
the stove, put in each a piece of but
ter about the size of a nutmeg, pour
in the mixture and bake in hot oven
about twenty minutes
Yellow Popovers.-O cupful of
flour and one tablespoonful of salt
mixed well. Pour over this very slow
ly one cupful of milk, beating we'll
until a small paste is formed, then
add the beaten yolk of two eggs and
lastly the whites beaten to stiff
frOth. Cook in buttered gem-pans or
earthen cups about thirty minutes
They should be brown and well pop

COrn-cake.-One cupful of the fine
Indian meal and two cupfuls of flour,
add one teaspOOnful of salt, two full
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and
the beaten yoll<s of three eggs. Beat
slowly into this two cupfuls of milk,
and lastly add the whites of the eggs

low, square pan, and break the cake
instead of cutting it.

Talking Shop" at Home.

Talking Shop at Home.
'"There are times when it seems
that mans house is the best, and at
times it is the only place for bust
ness consultation of Importance, and
no wife will resent such occasions,"
writes Edward w. Box, in an edi-
torial protest against talking shop
at home" in the October Ladies' Home
rare, as every man knows, and they
should be kept so. Business, at it's
best, interests a woman simply be-
cause it interests her husband and be-
cause his interests are hers. She has
no inherent love for it. She cannot
have. It is not her sphere. And,
therefore, to impose business talk up
on her every evening, is nothing short
of an imposition and an injustice.
Men ought to be wise enough to see
this. And they ought to be sensible
enough to understand that, for their
own interests, it is best for them to
drop business matters, so far as posi-
BILE, with business hours. A mans
mind needs diversions; it requires ex-
ercise in entirely different channels
from those in which it has been run
ring during the day. For this reason
the prOverb is so full of common
sense that every man should have a
personal hobby as far removed from
the nature of his business as possible.
A sensible hobby has saved many a
business man from early collapse. The
mind needs rest, and mans home is
the one place in all the world where
such rest should be given it. And
American wives should more rigidly
insist that this mental rest be taken
by their husbands. 1t is not an easy
matter in some cases for the woman
of the home to take such a stand and
persist in it. But she can do it if she
will. A woman can do almost any
thing with the man who loves her if
she only goes about it in the right
way. The trouble is that so many
women choose the wrong way. The
practice of talking shop should cease
in our American homes. Our wives
are right in the interest which they
take in their husbands business af-
| fairs. Their influence is frequently
seen and felt in the business world.
And it is an influence which every
right-minded man respects, knowing,
| as he does, that woman always acts
for the best interests of the man she
loves. In her interest and sympathy
she is right. Nothing works as much
good in a mans capacity and enjoy
ment of business as his wife's faith,
interest and cooperation in that bust
ness. So long as she permits her in
terest and sympathy to act only as a
means of encouragement she is wise''

canvassed locally, expressions were had
from all the Great Lake ports where
there We're yacht clubs. Canada was
not much in favor Of such a contest
at first. but In the course of time the
yachtsmen took more kindly to the
tdea. They were content to sail their
pest boats In the open regatta against
the best that could be sent against
them from the states, but no one SEEM
ed willing to take the initiative in pre-
pairing for an interna.i onal contest.
Commodore E. c.. Berriman, Of the
Lincoln Park Yacht club saw it's i'm
portance and he and his brother de-
cided at once to build boat and issue
q challenge. 1t was proposed to sail
for perpetual international trophy,
and the challenge was directed to the
Royal Canadian Yacht club, Of Toronto.
Negotiations progressed very slowly,
and In fact they were almost broken
off at one time. But Commodore Berri-
man, determined to have a race, sent
the racing committee of his club to
meet the Canadians and make all reas-
enable concessions There was finally
only one thing In the way Of a race.
Vencedor's plans called for a larger
boat than they wished to sail against.
To meet this objection, the racing length
of Vencedor would give the Canadian
defender double time allowance on her
ieuStn over 1Or1y-nVe feet. Her length
is a few inches over the limit and on
this Canada will receive double allow
ance
The races are to be best two in three,
under the New York Yacht club rules,
with a few essential amendments. The
trophy to be sailed for is a cup valued
at $500. In addition to this, the City of
Straits Yacht club offers a prize valued
at $500, which is to go to the club from
which the winner shall sail This lat
ter, according to the conditions i'm
posed by the donors, bscomes a perpet-
ual inter-lake trophy. Besides these
prizes, there is 81, 500 cash donated by
citizens Of Toledo, through the inter-
national yacht race committee
The opinion seems to prevail in the
East that the new Chicago yacht is
simply a good lake boat, nothing more.
But in Chicago there is well defined
belief that Vencedor is as good a rae
ing yacht as any on the Atlantic coast.
If Vencedor wins the coming Internal
iona1 race, her owners say they will be
ready to race any boat in her class.
from Maine to Florida A race between
Vencedor and Niagara has been dis
cussed, and it is not unlikely that these
two crack yachts will meet on the At
lantic coast early in the spring. Chi
cago yachtsmen have still higher ambit-
ions. They are nursing the hope that
a defender for the Americas cup may
be built on Lake Michigan.

NEW PAGING RECORD
WORLDS TIME FOR STATIONS
LOWERED BY PATCHEN AT

TRAVELLED IN 200 FLAT.
TWO WATCHES SHOWED A MARK

THAT.
HALF MADE In Two-MINUTE CLIP.
Strong Wind I'm the Stretch Caused
the Famous PAGER to Slow
Down u Bit.

RIGBY PARK, Me-, Aug. 21.-The
famous pacing stallion, Joe Patchen,
today lowered the worlds stallion
pacing record by one-quarter of sec
ond, going the mile in 2:03 flat, on the
Rigby track this afternoon. Two of
the judges watches showed the time
to be one-fifth of a second less than
2:03. A strong westerly wind was
blowing when racing began. When the
wind died down little, Jack Curry
drove Joe Patchen for a trial. After a
mile of warming up, the black stallion
was started down the track at a lively
gait, with a runner known as Little
Friend, driven by Charles O'Brien.
The judges caught the quarter at 30N
seconds, and, with the wind at his
back, the famous stallion reeled off the
second quarter in 291h seconds. The
half was made in just one minute.
On the third quarter the time was 3OA
seconds, and at a two-minute clip
Joe Patchen gathered himself for the
last quarter. But here he met the
strong wind again, against which he
slowed up a bit, but crossed the wire
in 32A seconds.
The announcement of the mile in
2:O3 nat, one-quarter of a second bet
ter than the worlds stallion pacing
record held by John r. Gentry, set the
crowd wild. They lifted Curry out of
his sulky, swarmed from the grand
stand onto the track and cheered like
madmen. Joe Patchen on Wednesday
went an exhibition mile in 2:O3A and

was more favorable than it was today

MORRIS, Mimi, Aug. 21.-One Of the larg-
est crowds that ever witnessed ball game
in Morris turned out to the Morris and Min

park. The game was hotly contested from
start to finish, and the Minneapolis league
team for once found her match. After the
first innings, which was a goose egg on both
sides. the Minneapolis boys, seeing they had
strong club to play, adopted their old
base ball tricks and tactics, but were neat
ly ntpped by the home players. almost every
trick costing them score. The Morris peo-
pie simply went wild when the game was
tied in the sixth inning, and when they took
the lead they completely burst the bounds Of
enthusiasm. Phyle covered himself with
glory by striking out nine and only giving
them six hits. Phyle was better supported
throughout than his opponent Carney Will
mot made some rank kicks on the uInpire's
decision though he admitted after the game
that the umpire favored his club. Corbett
and Warner made double steal while Car
