woMAN,s HOME WORK.
Must BE Regarded by Her ms worthy
the Highest Education and
Enthusfam.

In order that woman may be sue
cessful and happy in her home life she
must inevitably regard her work as
worthy the highest education and en-
thusiasm, says the Washington Star.
Let her know before she enters upon
1t that II must for years occupy the
greater part OF her thoughts and time
there will be seasons when 1t must
occupy her whole time-and be content
that this is so because Of the value of
the result to be attained.
The home where peace and order
reign and sweet influences Of industry
and education of courtesy anc religion
prevail is not made by chance The
woman's thought and study and abili-
ty have entered into It and determined
its character
Where the servants are industrious
and quiet, where the children are
healthy, gentle and obedient, where the
conversation shows intellectual life
and generous thought, and the spirit
of the home In its activities and pleas
ures is love and joy and peace, the
praise is due, first, to the woman who
as wife and mother and mistress and
housekeeper and homemaker has made
Il her study and pleasure to rule her
kingdom diligently, with intelligence
and love.
The home is her creation, springing
from her own ideal Of what is good and
fair, and speaks to mankind as truly as
If her thought had expressed itself in
writing. 1t is a work OF the highest
art.
II woman thus regarded her work at
home she would settle her mind to it
without that restlessness and discon-
tent she will always feel If In her heart
Of hearts she regards history or art or
higher mathematics as being more
worthy of her attention.

MoNGoosE WAS IMAGINARY.
Hut 1t Was Intended 20 Catch snake {
That Were Also Im-
aginary.

A passenger entered a railway car
riage In Australia In which was seated
particularly aggressive commercial
traveller and placed In the rack opposite
a small wooden box pierced with holes,
says the Sporting Times. In the con-
versation which followed the CONNER
cial traveller gave several hints that he
would like to know what was In the
box, without avail At last his curiosity
got the better Of him.
II say, old man." he asked, what
have you In the box?"
"a mongoose," was the reply.
A series Of diplomatic remarks fol-
lowed, aimed at getting the reason for
carrying a mongoose, but, as no ex-
planation was offered, the commercial
traveller had to say plump out:
What are you going to do with that
mongoose?"
The answer he got was: I'm going
to see friend who has been drinking
very heavily Of late-so heavily, in fact,
that he has developed delirium tremens.
You may be aware that people so suf-
fering are inclined to see snakes and
you may also be aware that there is
nothing on earth so deadly to snakes
as mongoose." He sat back, evidently
satisfied that he had given full and
complete explanation.
'But-but, say" said the CONNER
cial traveller, those snakes are imagin-
ary."
80 is my mongooss," remarked the
person interrogated

Petition is Sent to Congressman
 from Montgomery
HE WILL TAKE HIS SEAT
Talk of Changes In the Cabinet Is Still Heard-Roosevelt Is Pre- sented With a Valuable
 Rapier.

Washington, December 1.-Cspecial)-- With the arrival of Representative Heiin of Alabama this morning announcement is made that a number of members of congress have received a petition from A. A. stratton of Montgomery, Ala, praying for He1in's expulsion from the house on account of a speech he made during the last campaign, in which he stated that no harm would have come to the country had some Czolgosz thrown a bomb under the table while Booker Washington and the President were dining together at the White House.
 It is expected that MT. Hefiin will be made the target for a number of repub- liean speeches this winter, but the house will not go to the extent of unseating him.
 The Washington Star today prints the following editorial
 "The republican members of the house are asked in circular letters issued from Alabama to expel MT. Hehin. democratic member from that state, for an anarchistic utterance in his canvass for reelection directed against the Pres ldent. Nothing could be more inadvis- able. Nothing would please MT. Hehin or serve his purpose better. Let him rest. His punishment will come in his lonesomeness, for he Is going to he mighty lonesome in the house. His style of campaigning. whether jocular or not Is not popular even among the most az gressive politicians. It will be time | enough to take some action should MT. Hefin address the house. which he is not likely to do after the fashion with which he rallies the grogndlings at Pos sumtrot and Llickskillet fin his own husky bailiwick. The expelled Heflin
 would be a hero at home. the unex- pelled a useful and an awful example l here"

Cleveland, O.. December 1.-When the receive-ship case was brought by Her bert Newton of Brookine, Mass, against Mrs Cassie l.. Chadwick was called in the common pleas court today.

 A force of experts are still at work or the books of the Wade Park Banking company, preparing financial state ment of the institution. MT. Reynolds declared today that this statement would show the bank in frst-class condition
 Officials connected with the United States district office here refused today to discuss the report that the fedora authorities are making an investigation as to whether Mrs. Chadwick is liable un- der section 54S0 of the United States statutes, which makes it criminal of fense to use the malls to defraud. II was not denied by the officials that such an investigation is being made.

$22,OOO,OOO SPENT
 ON WORLDS FAIR
Over Two Hundred Thousand
 Attended Yesterday
GRAND TOTAL IS 18, 100000
Work of Packing Up Exhibits Began Immediately Upon the Close of the Exposltion-Visitors
 Still Admitted.

St. L.us, December 1.--While 1t will be impossible to obtain the act ial receipts and expenditures of the LouA Asiana Pur- chase Exposition company before the middle of December, Secretary Walter F. Stevens of the worlds fair made the following statement to the As sociated Press tonight:
 From reports that have been sub mitted Of the admissions to the grounds up to 9 o'clock tonight, we estimate that the attendance on Francis day. will be a few thousands in excess of 100000 and that the attendance for the exposition in all will be In the nelghborhood of IS. GOO
 Tn round numbers the exposition com pany has expended S22 0O0, GOO since the in- ception of the worlds fair project, and the expenditures of the several states and territories have reached a total of $9,0O0,0O0 The receipts since the opening day. April g. have amounted to about $10000,0ol consisting of admissions and concession royalties"
 In addition to the receipts were the funds amounting to about S12, GOO raised by subscriptions and appropriations to build the exposition.
 While it is impossible to state exactly the 1ndncldl cOnu1IlOH or the eApOSlllOn company on this, the closing day 1t can be authortatively announced that all debts against the company have been paid with the exception of few cur rent accounts, such as salaries, etc.. and these will. it is thought. consume nearly all the surplus, so that there will be only a very small amount lert TOT the stock holders.
 From the amount of royalties collected by the exposition company, 1t Is estimated that the concessionaries of the Pike and other parts of the worlds fair grounds have taken in at least s10,OO0 000."
 Immediately upon the closing of the gates a large force of men began the work of packing and shipping the ex- hibits. There are more than three hun dred officials of the United States GUS toms service on the ground, and they will remain on duty until the last exhibit has been shipped to the home address of the exhibitor or to such other desti- nation as may be selected.
 Beginning tomorrow the exposition grounds will be opened to visitors be- tween a. m.. and D. m., an admission fee of fifty cents being charged. This charge probably will be reduced to twen- ty-five cents within few days. All persons entering the grounds will do so at their own risk, and none of the exhibit palaces will be open to visitors. It was also announced that all of the Pike at- fractions will be permanently closed to- night.
