Pilgrimages to some shrine of st. Vitus,
to cure the disease known as st. Vitus'
dance are no longer made. The modern
way of treating this affection is within
reach of every household, as is shown by
the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the
1-year-old son of George Wagner, of 515
9th street, Arkansas City, Kan. The
father tells the story as follows:
"Over a year ago." he says, Karl was
taken with st. Vitus' dance and continued
to grow worse; during FIVE months he was
under a physicians care. His tongue be
came paralyzed and we could not under
stand a word he said. He became very
thin, lost the use of his right leg and
seemed doomed to become a hopeless in

to parley with would-be visitors.
After giving these instructions to
the last picket, Capt. Wood left him
and started. as he supposed, to return
to the camp. 1t was very dark, how
ever, and he lost his way, and instead
of going inside the lines he went out

and turned back. His road took him

WOMEN NOT IN MEMS PLACES
More often Hold Cbndren's Former
OceupatIonm


From tables based on the United
States censuses of 1870, 1880 and 1890"
says Carroll ID. Wright. at is found that
the proportion of women laborers, all
the occupations of the country being
considered, is gradually increasing, not
to an alarming extent, but yet steadily,
the gain being a little less than three
per cent. The census of 1870 recorded
but one architect among the women
of this country, while % were found in
1890. There were no women among
the chemists, assayers and metallur-
gists In 1870, while the enumerRtions
in 1890 found 80 engaged in these oc-
equations. There were CT clergywom-
en- in 1870 and 1925 in 1890. Dentistry
has also attracted women, and while
there were but "a in this occupation In
1870. there were 337 in 1890,
'The fact is absolutely demonstrated
that the proportion of women in all
occupations followed is gradually in
creasing. a study of all the facts show
ing that they are more generally TAX
ing places of children than of men.
III 1870 the percentage of children Of
the whole number of persons employed
il manufacturing was 5.5S, while In 1890
the percentage was only PCS. There
need not be any alarm, therefore, aa
TO the encroaehmept of women upon
the occupations held by men. for, on
the whole, the encroachment is slight.
Many reasons are given by employers
for their employment of women in place
of men, the most common being tbeir
greater adaptability for the partieB-
lar work for which they are employed.
Some also consider them more reliable.
more easily controlled, cheaper, more
temperate, more easily procured. neat
er, more rapid, more industrious, more
careful, more polite, less liable TO strife.
and more easy to learn, OF course,
many employers give a combination OF
two ar mere of these reasons.

pcnsation shows that there Is prog

in this respect. In one investigation

M'INTYRE'S OPINION.
fhe Chaplain of the Oregon Gives 1hA'
BattIeshIp Credit for Annihiiating
the Spanish Fleet

Denver, Col. Aug. 9.-Chaplaln }.
P. Mcintyre, of the battleship Oregon,
delivered a lecture here in which he
described the remarkable trip of the
Oregon from San Francisco TO join
SIMPSONS fleet and the part this bat
tleship took in the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet He spoke in most compli-
mentary terms of Capt Clark and his
fighting seamen. Chaplain Mcintyre
gives the Oregon the bulk of the credit
for the humiliation of the Spanish
feet on July 4. He said:
Sampson wrote a report of the battle and re-
ported himself within four miles Of the Cristo-
bal Colon when she pulled down her flag. He
did that TO get his share in the prize money.
for a ship must be within four miles to share
In the prize money So Sampson will get slO,-
900 Of prize money and Capt Clark, who fought
the Oregon as never man fought ship before,
will get only $500; and you who had just ex-
actly as much to do with the battle as Samp-
son did, will not get a cent
Chaplain Mcintyre said that when
the Spanish ships ran out of the har-
Dor the Iowa was within two miles of
them and the Oregon about three
miles. The Oregon. he said, tore up
to the front like a shot and met the
Iowa moving to the rear where, he
added. Capt. Evans kept her through

Listener saw the cat creeping up on n
