It Is no longer necessary for the Amer

roughly spoiled with that sort of wor-
ship and become purely ornamental: they
will no longer want to occupy themselves
with the hum-drum of life, will refuse
to raise families and wish the day We're
longer to get through with dressmokers,
ncdistes and other people who adorn
them. The example is demoralizing:: Ev-s
erywhere one sees Am ertcan women to the

nance their beauty; their cleverness and
Intelligence, their. knowledge Of the men,
make them superior to our women. and our
wives, making efforts to be like them,
ruin their husbands because they haven't

ing that attending to family and maternal
duties all day is not necessary, as the
men prefer the 5drawing-room woman TO

When the war of the late rebellion broke out he ten dered his services to his country and marched away at the sound of mar tial music in the same regiment with the late President Mckinley. MT. Shearer came to Bisbee twenty-two years ago and has made this place his home ever since. He accumulated some valuable property which insured him a handsome income. For many years he was employed by the Cop per Queen company, running a hoist at the Czar shaft. He was a mem, Der of the Grand Army of the Re public MT .Shearer was never mar ried and the only relative he has here is a nephew, Andy Colberg.
