American when he turns aside from
work for short time in mid summer.
1t is not that the American wants to
run away from work-he simply
wants to come back to it refreshed and
re-invigorated There is no question
ing the fact that well spent vaca-
Ftion makes an employe more valuable
turns. after his allotted time at the
seashore or in the mountains, feeling
as if the tasks that were burdensome
have turned to mere nothings. He
'buckles in" with new enthusiasm,
and the energies that have been sup
piled by change of air and scene will
last for weeks and months.
There are many men in positions
that give. plenty of change of scene
who do not feel the need of vacations.
But, perhaps, if Mr.. Hill were
chained to a desk eleven months out
of the year he would be willing to
take the twelfth month at some sum
mer resort and not think of himself
as running away from work.
There is nothing in the vacation
habit that should induce any man to
utter pessimistic words like those
voiced by Mr.. Hill. The general OBJ
servance of vacation simply means
that the American working man be-
lieves in renewing his energies. -

THE CORRECT THING.

Some men who read the Queen Bee
are very much hurt by the blunt facts
stated therein, saying men ought to
have credit for what they have done.
Do not the men publish over thirty
Thousand papers in the United States
alone on purpose to show the mascu-
line crow? The women have so few
papers we cannot afford to spend time
footing for the males of the race; that
is not the mission of the Queen
Bee." This paper is published part
ly to get even with the joke upon the
mother in law, but mostly to prove to
men that women are the correct thing.
The race needs educating to this fact,
because through the ages they have
been underrated and treated as a low
er order of animal. Now the men
" no want credit should remember
that virtue is its own reward. -

STRANGE HEARTLESSNESS

Rocky Mountain News says: The

deserted her 3-week old baby girl and
then had the loving care to place
neat little bundle of clean clothing
beside the sleeping infant as she car
essed it for the last time, in the ply
siological anomaly that is facing the
authorities of the Denver Orphans

Late Monday night one of the
nurses heard a weak, little wall from
outside the door. She glanced out of
an open window and saw woman
carefully Jay little bundle on the
cold stone step, bend quickly over it
and slip away.
The action was so surprising that
the nurse hardly moved. She stood
looking at the bundle wondering what
it could be, for it is seldom in Denver
that mothers desert their babies.
Then she was aroused by the soft cry
of the baby.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
"uNSPEAKABLE TURK" !"

Reports from Macedonia, via Sofia.
Rulparia. set forth a state of affairs
almost unbelievable in this day. The
"upspeakable Turk" is atrocious in
his brutality. as he has always been,
and his Bulgarian opponents are lit
tie, if any, less brutal. The murder
of women and children. the wanton
destruction of property, the mutlla-
ton of the dead-all the horrors of
savage warfare are reported from both
sides. and both are probably telling
the truth.
1t is understood that the insurgents.
acting under direction of the Mace
donian committee, are bent ON involv-
ing Turkey with the European powers
to such an extent that intervention
will be necessary. In the case of in
tervention they hope for the final re-
lease of Macedonia from Turkish rule,
either by the creation of an independ-
ent state or the annexation of Mace
donia to the Balkan states.
So far there has been no prospect
that this dream of liberty will be re-
allied The powers have little love
for Turkey, but they have just as lit
tie for each other, and they cannot
hope to agree on a programme OF
Macedonian independence which
would involve advantages for any one
power. The upshot of the whole bus
mess will probably be an agreement
among the signers of the Berlin treaty
to give Turkey free hand in the
massacre of the insurgents. their wo-
men and children. excusing themselves

ministrative affair-Salt Lake Herald.

New Years day of 1903 was an event
of great Importance to Mother
Mary" Mcdonald at the Home for
Aged and Infrm Colored People in
West Philadelphia, for it was the one
hundred and thirty-third New Years
day that she has seen.
Mother Mary is the oldest woman
in the country and possesses the use
of her faculties to a remarkable eX-
tent. She is always ready to tell of
the stirring times of the revolutionary
war and of the bitter winter when
Washington and his troops were en-
camped near her home at Valley
Forge.
This bright, cheerful little woman
is familiar figure in the home. She
thinks that smoking tobacco has
heightened her life, and is perfectly
happy with her old short-stemmed
pipe in her mouth. She says that
she could not do without it. She clings
to this old-time custom which was
common in her young days, and even
while she was i'll some time ago the
doctors would not allow her pipe to
be taken from her.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
An AccOmp lis hme mt That Is AbsO-
IuteIy Essential to Secure a Gem
timely Happy Home.

Good housekeeping is absolutely es-
sential to secure a well ordered and
happy home. Housekeeping must be
acquired by practice, study and expert
ment, but the young and inexperienced
housekeeper generally reaches success
only through great tribulation. 1t
ought to be absorbed in girlhood, by
easy lessons, taken between school
studies. If girls were taught to take
as much genuine pride in busting a
room well, hanging a curtain graceful
ly, OF broiling a steak to a nicely as
they feel when they have mastered
one of Mozart's or Beethoven's grand
symphonies, there would be fewer
complaining husbands and unhappy
wives.
The great lesson to learn is that work
well done is robbed of it's curse. The
woman who is satisfied only with the
highest perfection in her work drops
the drudge and becomes the artist.
There is no dignity in sighted work;
but to the artist, no matter how hum
BILE his calling, belongs the honor which
after perfection. No mother who has
the happiness of her daughter at heart
will neglect to teach her first the du
ties of the household and no daugh-
ter who aspires TO be queen at home,
and in her circle of friends, can afford
to remain ignorant Of the smallest de-
tails, that contribute to the comfort,
the peace, and attractiveness of home.
There is no luck in housekeeping;
everything works by exact rule; and
even with thorough knowledge, eter-
nal vigilance is the price of success.
There must be a place for everything
and everything in its place, time for
everything and everything in its time;
and Patience, patience" must be
written in glowing capitals all over the
walls. The reward is sure. The hus-
band may admire his wife's grace and
ease in society, her wit, her ornament
al accomplishments, but all in perfec-
ton will not atone for a ill-ordered
kitchen, indigestible bread, muddy cof-
fee, tough meats, unpalatable vegeta-
bles, soggy pastry and the whole train
of horrors that result from bad house
keeping. On the other hand, success
wins gratitude and attachment in the
home circle and adds luster to the most
brilliant intellectual accomplishments

or two, fern, rubber plant, etc, add
greatly to the ornamentation of a

There are many styles of shelves
that may be used. A plain, smooth

the other side, brackets may be
screwed to the window casing, each

top, for plants. A stand or table in
bay window, may often be used to
advantage, Things of this kind are
very common in city homes as well
as in numberless cheerful farm
homes. But there are, as rule
none too many plants in our homes.

She was born in Frogtown, near
Valley Forge, five years before the
revolutionary war begun, and in
spite of her youth can remember
many events connected with those stir
ring times. She was bound out to
Reese Howell, wealthy farmer living
at Valley Forge, when she was four
or five years of age. She is very proud
of the part she played in the war
while the soldiers were stationed in
that neighborhood.
The horrors of that winter at Val
ley Forge were so dreadful that they
were indelibly impressed on her child
fish mind Indeed, she recalls how she
pilfered potatoes, nuts and apples and
saved from her own small store when
she was only seven years old in order
to help the poor, ragged soldiers who
encamped near the Howell farm.
Many a time she trudged through
the snow to the encampment with the
small stores hidden in her apron under
her coat. But her master was as much
the soldiers as his little maid servant,
and, discovering her desire to help,
very often sent her to carry his gen
erous contributions.

forget the cheers that greeted the
welcome sight of those overlooking
baskets, nor how the soldiers lifted
her down and carried her around
amid the almost crazy delight of the
men.
