Death of Mrs. Charles Bridgeman.

Mrs Sarah Elizabeth (HartwelD Bridg.
man, widow of the late Deacon Charles
Bridgman, of Keene, died quite suddenly
at her home on Washington street in
Keene the 10 inst. at the age of 7S years
She was taken i'll with stomach difficulty
to which she had recently been subject
The attach was acute and was followed un,
expectedly by paralysis, which caused her
death.
Mrs. Bridgman was native of Alstead
the daughter of Samuel and Abigail Hart.
we'll, and is the last SURVIVOR of large
family of children. She completed her ed
ucation at the Chester, VT, academy and
the literary Institution of New Hamp.
ton. December 9, 1916, she was united
in marriage in Drewsville, by Rev. Z. S.
Barstow, D, d, of Keene, to the late Dea-
con Bridgman, since which time she has
resided in Keene. She is member of the
First Congregational church, in the work
of which society she took an active part for
many years, and leaves large circle Of
friends by whom she was much esteemed
aud beloved.
Mrs. Bridgman leaves three children,
Charles H. of Keene, wholesale and re-
tail grocer, DR.. George H. Bridgman, now
United States Minister to the Republic OF
Bolivia, and Miss Gertrude H., Of Keene.
She also leaves five grandchildren.

she consents to "accept position" to DO
the more healthful and quite as profitable
housework, always, before binding herself
irrevocably out to service, demanding all
the perquisites of her office such as alter
moons and evenings off, the privilege Of
entertaining company in the parlor and the
right to use the piano. She sometimes
stipulates, too, that she shall be treated
like one OF the family, while members oil
the family would be more than satisfied to
be treated as we'll as the hired girl. The
reason for this condition Of things is not
far to seek. One woman never willingly
enters the service of another. She under
stands the peculisrities of the feminine
nature too we'll; its fondness for directing
the minutest details, its ability to keep an
army of people constantly occupied every
moment of the day, and its intolerance OF
independent action on the part OF the hired
girl The girl must commence In partlc-
ulsr corner of every room to sweep, dust
the furniture in prescribed order and
wash potatoes according to certain for
mula. There is only one way OF doing
things and that's the mistress way. This
i. sometimes almost uncomfortable to the
hired help, who is also woman and hates
to be told how to do anything, especially
when she thinks she knows how well
enough already. So the good capable girl
seeks other avenues Of employment where,
if she only does her work well, no one
cares how she does it.

Sunday opens the deer hunting season
in Vermont to continue during the rest Of
the month. The season was shortened to
ten days by the last Legislature to protect
the deer and also the people from being ex-
terminated or driven out OF the state.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Indiana has passed resolution
condemning foot ball. The ladies of Indi-
ana must have the courage of their convic-
tions; for i seems as though even chronic
kickers would hesitate at trying to kick
against foot ball.
President Mckinley informed the LIST
South Dakota volunteers at Aberdeen, on
their return from the Philippines, that we
are not nation of heroworshippers. 1t
is well that the president made that state
ment, or a misleading impression might be
gained from casual review of the news
papers and the recent celebrations.
The state department has decided that
the United States will have no excuse to
NEEDLE in the South African jangle be-
tween England and the Beers. 1t is too
bad if there must be fight somewhere,
that we can't be in it, but perhaps with the
aid Of Aguinaldo we can worry along; for
that eminent Filipino is in some respects
a bigger bore than Dom Paul.
