all other types of Eczema, is due to acid

Someone recently devised the idea for p

Here. necessarily, it would be called q

Invitations to such an entertainment
can be accepted only on the one condition
that the guest is pledged to spend cents,
neither more nor less, to the best possible
advantage. Having got as much ia his
money as he can. no matter what tine

to be seen how much amusement may re-

For instance, a young man ATTENDING

they quietly collapsed, the petals shower

governor Of Kansas and Mrs. Ida b.

m0ny, which was extremely brief and
very simple. Only few guests were
present. They included L. N. Bailey,
brother of the governor, and his wife:
Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ. Cafferty. the latter
the governors only sister; John Albert.
of Seneca Kans., father Of the bride,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Potts OF Kansas city.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Bailey left for Topeka, 1t had
been Governor Baileys intention to mako
q trip to his old home in Illinois. but
this was postponed because of pressing
business relating to the flood.
An interesting incident of Governor
Baileys recent campaign was a story to
the effect that he had promised to marry

he was the recipient Of letters from
women In all parts of the country offer
ing themselves in marriage. Governor
Bailey said today:

men, but there Is always compensation
one way or another in this world, and the
other side of the question now Is: the
women taking mems places.
Woman's progress is marked by some
new steps, Three women have been Sc
lected as associates by the chief sculptor
of the St. Louis exposition.
They are Janet Scudder and Evelyn D.
Longman, of New York, and Julia Brack-
en-, of Chicago. All Of these women
have accomplished work Of distinction
the first being the only American woman
sculptor who is represented in the Luxem-
bourg In Paris. Miss Bracken designed
the decorative work for the woman
building at the Chicago exposition, While
Miss Longman gained some eminence Tor
work at Buffalo"
Women are now employed by Brooklyn

siders them more expert than men, OWING

are numerous employments in when
women are now preferred to the stronger
sex.

An observer who has noticed woma n .
entrance into commercial life makes the
wish that they would return to the occu-
pations of their grandmothers. A writer
in The Congregationalist answers:
How can women return to occupations
which are preempted by men? Spinning,
weaving and knitting, once womans occu-
pations, are .oday universally ia the hands
of men; there are men dressmakers, men
cloakmakers; the bakeshOp man has
largely suppIanted the home bread
maker; the laundryman the washer
woman. Meanwhile the chef dominates
the kitchen, and frequently draws a larger
salary than the presidents of our leading
colleges. A single creamery in California
habiually turns out 1900 pounds Of deli
cious butter in one day, the proprietor
having little more to do in its manufac-
ture than to regulate his automatic ma
chimes. Had one Of our grandmotherS
lived to the present day, and spent all
her time sximming cream and labOriously
working the handle of her churn she
could not have made so much butter as
this single creamery turns out IN any
month Of the year. Places are ceasing to
be a matter of sex. Who does the work
best to him or to her the work gravi-
tates."
Some few women who live in the
"haunts far away from man" may follow
the occupations OF their grandmothers,
but it is because they cannot do other
wise We arc often reminded of the fact
that much employment is taken out Of the
hands Of women by the great labor-saving
inventions of The present century So
often we have sent us yards of home
made lace that some woman has labOred
over for weeks. nearly putting her eyes
out. and she pleads. Wont you sell this
for NEE" when probably the price she
puts on one yard can buy five of beautiful
fine machine-made lace. And so with
embroideres, they are brought out now
so reasonable that one can buy enough to
trim an entire garment for what is asked
for one or two yards.
DO you suppose any woman cares to
break her back over the wash tub like
her grandmother. or sit an hour trying to
make butter come, until her arm and
shoulder ache. if she can own washer
and wringer that puts her clothes on the
line in half the time, with half the labor,
or Il churn that says in musical tones
Come. butter. come" and it comes? OF
course, under such circumstances, the oc-
equations Of our grandmothers must be
a thing of the past. And SO women cam
not return to occupations preempted by

SUICIDE BEFORE CAPTURE.
Slayer or Mother Put Bullet in Heart
To Avoid Arrest.

Shoals. Ind, June 9,-Arthur Lyons,
the slayer of his stepmother, who has
been a fugitive from justice for several
days in this county, pursued by a posse
of several hundred, shot himself through
the heart this afternoon as he stood
hemmed in on every side by band of
enraged farmers. The members of the
posse were within 20 feet OF him before
h.. fired.
Young Lyons was droven from the
woods this afternoon by the posse, and
IN an instant was the target for a dozen
guns. He returned the fire and made
his escape around a turn in the road.
Later he was overtaken, and. turning
toward his pursuers. who Were but a
short distance behind, he shot himself
through the heart.
