A MOTHERS DUTY.

es, tully agree Win you tnat
it is most unwise for the mother of
either party to interfere or to be free
with advice when young couple mar
ry and set up for themselves said
Mrs. Gawl to Mrs. Meddeil.
II feel that way, too," says Mrs.
Meddell. "Of course there are times
when it is best to give the young peo-
pie the benefit of ones increased expo
rience and superior knowledge. Now,
I was over to my daughter-in-law's the
other day and found her bathing her
baby in very warm water when l am
convinced that lnkewarm water is bet
ter and healthier for baby's bath, so
l poured a quart of warm water in the
tub, and told my daugter-in-law that
the baby's shirts were too thin and
that she fed him too often. gave Or
ders to the nurse girl not to allow even
the child's own parents to kiss him on
the lips"
"Oh, of course, one ought to kindly
suggest some things and even insist on
others where health is concerned"
said Mrs. Gawl. "Now, for instance,
l was over to my son-in-law's last eve
ming, and he brought out his cigar-box,
and said, How many cigars have
you smoked to-day, Gordon p and
when he said six, gently but firmly
replied, That is quite as many and
even more than man can smoke in
one day and retain his health" and |
quietly locked the cigars up. Then l
found he was having his beeisteak fried
instead of broiled, and 1 spoke to the
cook and told her never to fry it again,
and to make his coffee fully a third
weaker than he had been drinking it.
He'll destroy his nerves drinking such
strong coffee"
"Of course be will. My sons wife
drinks her tea altogether too strong,
and when am there to tea, which is
three or four times week, l go right
out into the kitchen and make the tea
myself, and make it as weak as all
tea should should be made to be healthy.
Then do not allow her to put bread
less than twenty-four hours old on the
table; it's unhealthy. She says she
was brought up on hot bread, and that
she never was ill day in her life; but
l can't helpit. know that hot bread
is unhealthy, and 1 ought to interfere
where my own sons health is con-
cerned"
"Of course you should. l feel just
so about my daughter, and told my
son-in-law the other day that he must
give up rich desserts, for they are not
good for my daughter nor for him.
When l was there to dinner yesterday,
and my daughter wanted to make
rich pudding with rich sauce for des-
serts, l said No. and made simple
nutritious dessert of Indian meal with
hot boiled molasses over it. When it
comes to health must advise"
at is your duty to do so. l must
go over to my sons now. They have
new cook coming to day, and l must
see that she starts in properly"
"And l must hurry right over to
my daughters. An architect is COM
ing to see about making some changes
in the house, and 1 must be there to
see about it. 1t is really my duty to
see that some things are done in a cer-
tain way"
':Of course it is. These children of
ours will thank us some day for doing
our simple duty.

| pull with him, and the only result OF
the eff ,rt was that Mr.. Bentley pulled
of some of the mo!ding and fell on his
back.
Nothing launted, Mr.. Cochran said,
Lets go around by way of the fire
escape and push"
The two expressnen and MIR. Coch-
ran made nothing Of passing from Mrs.
Bentley's parlor to Mrs. Cochran's
parlor by :he fire escape, but Mr..
Bentley is light headed and had to be
helped across-by his wife. Then the
two entered the Cochran apartments,
for the first time, like thieves in the
night.
Now all six combined their strength
and pushed, but the bed only laughed
at them.
"Well, nothing more can BE done
now" said Cochran. "The bed is here,
and it's got to stay here for the present.
Now, you men might as we'll go about
your business. You've done what you
set out to do-thc bed is up here fast
enough"
GLOW much do owe your asked
Bentley of the German.
1.-TWO dollars. Ill sent arount a
carpenter if you want
ooh, no!' said Mrs. Bentley. Hell
be able to move it,
Back across the fire escape was Mr..
Bentley helped by his faithful wife,
| and then he bade the Cochrans good
night. 1t was such an impossible
thing that had happened that every
body felt good natured once more, just
as in a blizzard or a period of excessive
heat people make light of their misfor-
tunes and passershy joke one another.
Next morning Immediately after
breakfast Mrs Bentley went down to
the bed company to see whether they
could suggest way of getting the bed
out of Mrs. Cochrans doorway.
They had moved and big sign in
the window bore the legend, TO lie
Opened In Few Days AS Ladies'
Lunchroom."
For the space Of two days that bed
stood in the doorway while carpenter
after carpenter came and looked at it
and shook his head and went away.
Then came one who said: 1--WE seen
those beds before. The company s
failed that made them. Now, next
door to my shop is vacant lot, and if
| cut the bed to pieces guess you can
dump it there and the owner Of the lot
won't mind"
Mrs. Bentley hailed the scheme as a
heaven sent proposition. Mr.. Bentley
was down town, and Mrs. Cochran
| W no WIS Oh Clc OlIeI Siuc CudCGliISS =
with her-for in spite of what had
come between them they were now
quite friendly-seconded the plan.
The carpenter borrowed an AK of the
janitor, and IN half hours time, with
the exception of the mirror, which was
pres rved intact, there was not a
square foot of the bed unbroken. The
carpenter sent the pieces down on the
dumb waiter and then took them away
and presumably dumped them. Mrs.
| Cochran spent five minutes shutting
and opening the door. 1t was SO
pleasant to be able to do it again.
Then Mrs. Bentley invited her neigh
Dor into her flat and apologized for
making so much trouble.
ut was no trouble at all, my dear.
1t has made something to talk about
Now. Mr.. Bentley seemed to think
that $25 for the bed, 50 for delivery
and $40 for damage to the Railways
together with the charge of the car,
penter for the time it took him to de.
stroy the bed, was rather a large
amount to pay TOR a subject Of con
versation. SO he isn't saying word
about it.

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of socie-
ty, more numerous. The first effect
Of the praiseworthy effort to keep. up
with all these things is commonly seen
in weakened or debilitated condition
of the nervous system, which results
in dyspepsia, defective nutrition OF
both and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t
is clearly seen that what is needed it
what will sustain the system, give vi
gor and tone 70 the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative tunc-
tions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose.
1t acts on all the vital organs, builds
up the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.

The Chicago journal tells this story:
"Robson. do you know why you are

echoed Robson, opening his eyes wide:

is stubbornness itself" The jest
pleased Robson immensely. for he at
once saw the opportunity for a glor-
ious dig at his wife. So, when lie got
home he said: "Mrs. Robson, do you
know why | am like donkey?" He
waited moment, expecting his wife
to give it up. But she didn't. She

affray in whicn three young men and a
woman. all of them prominent In Scott
county, Tenn, were involved. and which
resulted in the death OF one. the possible
the woman and the other man implicated
The most striking feature of the affair
is that the dead man was beyond doubt
killed by his own wife. the women over
whom the difficulty originated.
For some time past, Whig Duncan, a
nephew of the Rev. Whig Duncan,
Baptist minister had been suspected Of
being too intimate with the wife of Jar
rett Trammell frammell and his brother,
Mart Trammell, returned to the formers
home somewhat Unexpectedly and upon
their arrival found that Mrs. Jarrett
Trammelrs room was locked and the
blinds closed. While the two men were In
another part of the house they neard
noise in the closed room, and made an
attempt to enter 1t. After some trouble
they gained entrance. just as a fire from
a revolver In the hands of both a woman
and a man was turned upon them. The
woman was the wife of Jarrett Tram
nell, and the man was Whig Duncan,
Jr., Jarrett and Mart Trammell fell to the
floor, the former dead and the latter
mortally wounded.
The scene of the affray Is at Winfield,
a small town of Scott county, Tenn.
Mrs Jarrett Trammell and Whig Dun
can, Jr., succeeded in making their es-
cape into Kentucky, and at last ac-
counts had not been captured.

PLUCKY LITTLE
BOAT MAKES TRIP
CAPTAIN NEWMAN AND HIS SON
ARRIVE IN FALMOUTH, ENG
LAND, AFTER HARD EXPERT
ENcE IN 3a-FoOT LAUNCH.

Falmouth England, August 14-Cap-
tain Newman and his son Edward arrived
here tonight in the 3s foot kerosene
launch Abiel Abbott Low, in which they
sailed from New York July 9. In an in
terview with a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press Captain Newman said:
"The launch has proved herself a noble
boat, but we experienced awful times
since We left New York. Several times,
in terrible gales, we nearly lost our drag
anchor owing to the gear chafng away.
We voyaged 8103 miles. We had great
trouble with the kerosene, because the
tanks which held 1t broke and the oil
flooded the cabin. My boy became Ill and
homesick. I suffered greatly from ex-
posure and long sitting in one position.
We spoke the American line steamer
Kroonland August l in mid Atlantic. At
ter this we encountered series of severe
gales and the hardships were so great
that feared we would not survive. We
did not speak another vessel until August
13. when we met a fisherman ninety mites
off the Scilly islands. Those last ninety
miles were the longest l ever ran In my
life. l would not hesitate, however. to
try the voyage again"
The voyagers rarely used the sail on
the launch. Captain Newman lost thirty
pounds in weight on the trip, but his son
seems to have derived benefit from the
experience.

The deputy sheriffs returned to Wilks-
barre early this afternoon reporting all

reached here, however, until the deputies
on guard were attacked Several men in
the mob also attempted to climb over
the barricades. The deputies warned
them to go back and when they did not

bullets went high into the air. Harry

of constables rescued him.
Deputy sheriffs from Duzerne and Lack
awanna counties went to the scene Of the
rioting, but when they arrived all was
quiet, the mob having dispersed. An eye
witness says the attack, the shooting and
the retreat did not last more than five
minutes.
Warrants were sworn out charging the
deputies with rfoting and felonious
wounding. The constabes went to the
washery and placed twenty-five men un-
der arrest. They were arraigned before
Burgess Burlington tonight and held in
5000 bail each. They could not furnish
bail and were brought to the county jail
here.
The United Mine workers say the
shooting was uncalled for, and the depu-
ties alone are to blame. Chief Deputy
Shodda denied a report which gained cur
rency tonight that Governor Stone had
been asked for troops He says all is
quiet at Duryea now, and he does not
expect any further trouble.
