LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
Officers Do Not Believe the Death Of
Mclean Was an Ac-
cident.
They're Investigating on the Theory
That He Was Thrown From
Window.

Mystery surrounds the death Of Charles
Mclean, the man who fell Monday NOR
ming from the second story window of the
Minnesota house, First avenue S and
First street. 1t was given out that Nc
Lean had fallen accidentally but the po-
lice are skeptical and an investigation
will be made.
The suspicious circumstances lie In the
fact that the window was closed when
the man was found by Officer Rooney,
and that it is too small for a man to fall
from accidentally. The theory is that
Mclean was thrown from the window
Detectives Howard and Morrissey took
up the case this afternoon and it is like
ly that an inquest will be held.

The O,d-Fashioned Woman.

Oh, well I remember the home of my
childhood,
The hill that / climbed in the sunlight
and dew;
The rabbits that hid at it's base in the
wildwood,
The hunters that often would trouble
them, too.
But better than these was the ivy-grown
dwelling
Oh, why did I ever away from it
roam?
Where lived the dear woman whose story
I'm telling,
That old-fashioned woman who made
it home.
That love-fashioned woman,
That sweet-fas a6oned woman,
That oldfashioned woman who lived in
the home.
Oh. where has she gone with her aprons
and knitting,
Her calico gown and her sunbonnet
dear?
She never was one that was given to
fitting,
Her home was her temple, her empire,
her sphere.
She cared not for riches, nor travel,
nor pleasure;
The wealth that she craved was be-
meath her own dome,
Her husband, her children, her friends
were her treasure,
That old-fashioned woman who lived in
the home.
That dear-fashioned woman,
That Soul-fashiOned woman
That old-fashioned woman that lived in
the home.
The ivy-grown walls Of that homestead
are falling,
The brambles have choked out the
blossOms-the weeds
Grow wild and unsightly-the night
hawks are calling
When day into darkness and silence
recedes.
On, never again shall [ haste there to
gather
The flowers that grew in the sweet
scented loan
When my heart and my steps were as
light as a feather
To greet that loved woman who made
it a home.
That old-fashioned woman,
That home-fashioned woman,
That God fashioned woman that lived In
the home.

HOLLAND CHARITABLE WORK
Church and Private Institutions Elk
eel in the Aid Granted.

Church and Private Institutions Ex-
Gel in the Aid Granted.
A recent report Of the minister Of the
interior of the Netherlands Is Of par
ticular interest, giving complete sta
tistics of the amount expended in char
table work in Holland, says the Revue
Scientifque. This matter Is regulated
in Holland by the law Of June %, 1854,
which recognizes four sorts Of char1t-
able institutions those which are adj
ministered by the state, the provinces
or the communeS; those which belong
to a church and are for the purpose Of
assisting the poor Of the parish; the
institutions founded by lay bodies or
private individuals, and mixed tnstitu-
tons which are directed by the public
authorities, together with the church
or private individuals. In all Of these
cases there Is a distinction made be-
tween assistance given to those who
ask it Of their own will and those who
are ashamed to ask and are sought out.
In an average year the assistance at
the homes Of the INDECENT amounts to
a little more than 100000 francs,
Of which 100000 is in money and the
rest In provisions, the whole being
distributed among about $4,000 poor.
In this total of expenditures the part
played by public funds Is 100000
francs, the rest being almost entirely
furnished by the churches, the private
institutions distributing hardly 100000
francs. The churches distribute more
money than the public institutions.
The poor who do not apply for as
sistance are almost exclusively cared
for either by the churches or private
institutions, as the public officials do
not possess sufficient initiative to seek
out the sufferers. The amount distrib-
uted to these ASHAMED poor repre-
sents an expenditure Of some 100000
francs, which is divided almost equally
between the private and lay institu-
lions and the churches.
The distribution Of provisions and
fuel reaches the modest total Of 100000
francs distributed among $4,000 poor.
The source of most Of this assistance
Is the private institutions, the public
granting but little more than $4,000
francs to 500 poor. The explanation OF
the relatively modest part played by
the government lies in the specification
in the law mentioned above that pub
lie assistance shall be granted only
when other agencies are inadequate.
The charitable institutions Of Holland
are public, 3,4OO supported by the
number about 5000, Of which 1900
church and $50 are private.

Oueen Helena a Cook.

Queen Helena of Italy is a royal lady
who has very practical knowledge Of
cooking. At her fathers curiously
homely and unpretentious court Queen
Helena learned many useful things,
and among them the art Of cooking
The Prince Of Montenegro insisted
that all his children should learn a
trade-a rule which, by the way, OBJ
tains in the German imperial family
and the future Queen Of Italy became
not merely a good plain cook but also
skilled in the preparation Of the curl
BUS sweetmeats and patisserie Of which
orientals are so fond. The late King
Humbert insisted on tasting his daugh-
ter-in-law's cookery, and so pleased
was he with the dainty fare she set
before him that he conferred on her,
with mock ceremony, the title Of "lady
high cook to the King of Italy,"

Our Spoiled Children.

The girls Of today have been petted
and made much Of from their cradles.
Everything has been done to make the
hard places easy and the rough roads
smooth There Is a grading and level
ing in the schools nowadays in order
that children may learn without their
knowing it. A sort Of '1gnorance-ex-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT system" 1t is,
from Kindergarten to college. At home,
IL not at school, American children are
regularly and unblushingly spoiled;
and while the effects Of such whole
sale injury to the childish life often
wear off with boys as soon as they
go out into the world to compete with
their equals on every side, in the case
Of girls the tonic of mingling in the
affairs Of life and work, without fiat
terry or favors Of any kind, is usually
denied. With girls the petting and
coddling continue long after woman
hood is reached, and so the daughters
do not get over the effects of xthe

Bossism In the Home.


At least, that is the happy conclu-
sion drawn by Lavinia Hart, writing
in Golfers Weekly on Social Prob
lens in the Home"
Most girls about to marry, says the
writer, tell each Of their girl friends,
in strictest confidence, that they have
made up their minds to be boss,
All men about to marry swell with
the consciousness that they were born
to boss-and their lives must justify
their birthright.
The attitude Of the man Is relic
Of prehistoric times, when man con-
sidered himself the chosen sex, and
woman was Of a different mental and
moral construction from the woman OF
today.
The attitude Of the girl Is more
often q matter Of self-defense. She
makes what she considers deep deduc-
tons from the lives Of married folk
around her and decides that she must
boss or be bossed She chooses the
former.
Sometimes she Is very successful
as a boss. The man she lnarTdes Is
peace-loving individual who would
rather give in that have scenes. The
species is seen much abroad. He has
the out-habit and never goes home
until all the other places are closed.
Sometimes she marries a man who
also has the boss bee in his bonnet.
This Is very hard on the natives with
in hearing distance, and not easy for
the children. With both parents
bosses, one is apt to get petted or
pounded to death. Time does not adj
just cases Of this kind, which go on
until one boss or the other expires
from the wear and tear Of friction
Then sometimes the girl who would
be boss marries a man who never
thought about being one Of the chosen
sex, who cares neither to boss nor be
bossed, whose sole motive and every
means are to make the girl he marries
the happiest woman in the world. land
If such a ones skill in loving be as
great as his good intention, his wife
forgets all about wanting to boss, she
obeys his unspoken wish as he fulfills
hers, they mutually serve and sacrifice
and yield, their house progresses with
out head, but with plenty Of heart,
without MASTER but wholly mas
tered, and in cooperation they solve
the problem Of domestic bcssism.
So Longfellow solved it in "Hia-
watha:'
AS unto the bow the cord is,
So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him she obeys him,
Though she draws him, yet she fol-
lows;
Useless each without the other.
