A Newly Married

The basis of a newly married woman 5

has endowed him, and because Of which
she has consented to become his mate.
Occasionally during the first few months
Of her married life Constance laughed TO
think that all her maidenly ca gerness 10

her profound searching of the mysteries
OF the universe should have ended in
her becoming AN everyday housewife
with dustpan and brush, and the wife OF
one who, TO all outward appearances.
was an everyday young man. But her
laugh saTored of gladness. She had
given herself to him because she had
faith that his energy, self-reliance. fear
less humor and sympathetic hatred of
shams would distinguish him presently
from the common herd of men, and vindi-
cate her infatna tom. She had given her
self TO him, besides, because he loved
7ser-a delightful consciousness. Accord
ingly. she enclosed herself in the web Of
happiness which her confidence in him
had spun about her, and took up her
domestic duties with light-hearted deyo-
ton
Nevertheless, no woman energies from

a person whose anecdotes have grown

Then swift he wounded me again
Love taught me all l knew of bliss:

Mothers and Daughters.

someone encloses newspaper clipping
about mothers and daughters to the
writer asking that it be used as a text for
a talk on this page. The drift of the en-
closed para graphs is that too many moth
erS are tNrannlcal and want to manage
their girls to such an extent that 5hey
have no independence and are tied to-
their apron strings forever. Unfortunate
" the following is sometimes true:
There is a type of mother
who seems to think that a daughter is
always child and newer reaches an age
Of responsibility. Poor, crushed creatures,
these young women are. Many of them
hardly dare call their souls their OWE
They are not allowed to choose their
.r'ends-the mothers see to tllat-anG the
consequence is the girls are probably
made 10 consort with companions who
have no tastes in common with them, and
the unhappy girls are deprived Of ere of
cirlh0ods greatest cfarms-congeaial
company
The article goes on ia say that these
hard-hAarted mothers do not approve OF
masculine company and often their
daughters become old maids ia conse-
Quence.
Now this all sounds very alarming. but
il is the belief of the writer that cases
Of the prosecuted daughters are very rare
We have all seen and known. instances of
selfish mothers who want all the atten-
ton ard keep their daughters in the back
ground. but these are but drop in the
bucket compared to the selfish daughters
and unselfish mothers. 1t is not pleasant
70 say this but while on this subject il is
well 10 tell the truth. In the rare IN
stances of selfish mothers, their daugIl-
ters have harG time indeed: they are
crushed and given to understand that
they do pot amount to anything. These
girls suffer many disadvantages and have
their souls tried in various ways. but 1t is
abont us.

It is figured here that the fact Of
Representative Emory English accept
ing a position as editor Of the Mason
City Times Herald will not adversely
affect his candidacy for state printer.
There has been no change in the situ-
alton since the close Of the legislature.
At that time 1t was known that Emory
English was candidate for state print
er and E. ID. Chassell, OF LeMars, for
state binder. Il was also known that
exc Congressman Anderson OF Warren
county was "a candidate for state print,
er. There was also some talk that Tom
Purcell, Of Hampton. might be can
didate for printer, and that Archie
Smith, Of Storm Lake and Will Par
rott, Of Waterloo, might be candidates
for state binder. The candidates. OF
English, Chassell and Anderson were
certain. 1t is expected that Mr.. Eng
lish will have almost the entire Sew
enth district delegation back OF him,
certainly large majority Of the menu
bers. The fact that he. has gone to edit
a paper In Mason City will make no
difference. He will continue to reside
practically In Des Moines.

GAMBLERS ARE FINED
Richard A. Garfield and David Bucslin,
Who Conducted the Most Exclusive
Gambling House in New York Plead
Guilty and are Fined.

New York, Dec. 7.-Richard A. Cam
field and David Bucklin, respectively
proprietor and manager Of what was
said to be the most exclusive gamb-
ling house in this country, pleaded
guilty today to indictments by the
grand jury on the charge of maintain
ing a gambling house. They were fined
a thousand dollars each, which they
Immediately paid.
Can1eld's house is situated next door
to the citys most fashionable restau-
rant, and all his patronage came from
the wealthiest men in the city. For
years 1T was impossible to obtain evil
dence against him, because no one was
admitted to the house except persons
known personally to Garfield or Buck
lin, or vouched for by one Of the reg
ular patrons Of the house. District
Attorney Jerome several years ago
began determined effort to secure
the necessary evidence and to this end
subpoenaed Jesse Lewisohn to answer
whether he had ever gambled In Can
fields house. Lewisohn refused to an
swer on the ground that he was not
required to give reply which might
tend to incriminate or degrade him.
A special act was passed by the legis-
.lature to provide immunity to a wit
ness who might testify as Lewisohn had
been asked to do. Still Lewisohn de-
clined to answer on the ground that
the special act was unconstitutional.
He fought the case to the court of
appeals, the highest court in the state.
Recently the court handed down de-
cision sustaining the act and holding
Lewisohn should testify. Shortly after
wards it was given out that Garfield,
in order to protect those who had vis-
tied his house. would plead guilty.

TROUBLE AT RACE
Five Teams Complain That Loader.
Gained a Lap by Unfair Methods-
Officials Refuse to Restore Thorn TO
Positions and the Five Teams Quit
the Race.

New York, Dec. Z. Angry because
they believed the race was being un-
fairly conducted and because OF meth
fods, which they allege to be wrong, al
lowed other riders to gain lap upon
them, five teams composed of Walthour
and Monroe, Bedell Bros, and New
Kirk Mclean and Bowler, Butler and
Moran, quit the race early today All
Of them we're among the best in the
contest and among those most heavily
packed to win the highest prize. The
trouble was precipitated by the most
exciting period Of riding, which the
race had thus far given. when Root and
Dorlon followed later by Stol and Van
derstyft, succeeded in gaining lap on
their opponents. Walthour, who act
ed as spokesman for the five dissatis-
fed teams, declared the members OF
those teams relieved each other at In
tervals. not ALLOWED by the rules.
The trouble began shortly after 2
o'clock. There was to be a general re-
lief of partners, about that time, but
Dorlon, when the other partners were
about to leave the track did not go.
He had been riding slowly back Of the
bunch for hours, merely keeping on
even terms with the rest and did not
appear at all wearied, Just as the
change of riders was being made Dor
lon started to sprint at pace which
outdid anything the race heretofore
produced For two miles Dorlon kept
up the heartbreaking sprint and by
that time had gained half lap on the
bunch. Then hardly losing second
Root jumped in and being fresh began
a sprint which was even more heart
breaking than Dorlon's had been. He
kept it up for forty minutes with 9TH
er riders trying desperately to overtake
him, but at the end of that time he
had gained q lap. Walthour was on
the track thruout the sprint and riding
a little ahead of the rest. When Root
was making his meteoric dash half a
lap ahead Of the rest little Stol, the,
Belgian rider, who had just relieved
Vanderstyft, stole up past Walthour
and began a sprint to catch Root. In
twelve laps he had done what he tired
for, and Walthour had been too much
taken by surprise to catch him. Then
the partners in the five teams named
who were not then on the track made
their. complaint and declared their In
tention of withdrawing.
Their partners then riding left the
track and all demanded from the offi-
cials that the lost distance be restored
to them, arguing the lap was gained
The officials refused their
demands, claiming the lap had been
gained fairly.
The board of control of the National
Cycling Association suspended indefin-
itely the ten riders who withdrew from
the race. Their cases will be disposed
of at the annual meeting of the as
sociation in February. Until then the
men cannot ride on any track In the
United States.
