1t just makes me tired, that affecta-
ton of domesticity many so called pro-
fessional women put on. If they love
cooking and housekeeping so much bet
ter than a money getting life outside
the home, why don't they do cooking
and housekeeping The field Of house
hold labor is a very wide one, the work
well paid. Lately one of these women
afflicted with the anectation of domes-
ticity boasted to another lady thus: Il
am the best cook in Penville.' There
upon the woman addressed looked the
speaker over from head TO foot and
said to herself, "And I'd hate to eat
your cooking" Of course every true
woman performs perfectly such do
nestle duties as come her way, but
to boast of it is like boasting Of keep
ing ones skin clean.

doings Of club women in America and
London for the past year, and really
never have seen so much hope for true
progress among them as there is now.
Child labor, city beautifying and san

the preservation of American forests
and wild flowers are some Of the causes
in which our wOmen's clubs the past
year have been doing admirable work.
In Philadelphia women have erected a
club home large enough to house i've
feminine associations. Among these
one is the very practical depository
and exchange for women's work. An
other is "A kindergarten association that

which is really educating itself in mu-

SERIOUS IN slLEsIA.
The Percentages Of Deaths to Cases Ia
Of Alarming Character.

Berlin. May 1.-The intimate con-
nection between Influenza and spotted
fever of cerebro-spinal meningitis, now
epidemic in Germany, is surmised by
some German investigators as the cause
OF disease. Scientists appear not to be
fully satisfied that bacillus menirgo-
cocus is the sole cause of the disease
since the same bacillus is present in
pneumonia. The so-called Pfeiffer ba-
cillus, which causes influenza. has
been discovered in a number OF cases
of meningitis. The epidemic has late
ly assumed more serious form In ST.
lesia. In the Beauthen district out ol
twenty-eight cases seventeen deaths
are reported for the week which ended
April rs. and in the Kattowitz district
last week there were forty-seven new
cases and twenty seven deaths. Spo-
radio cases are now reported daily
from nearly all parts Of Germany.

Antlers, |. T., May AMT
iers vas in q fever of excitement
ous day last week, OF young
married man, living about twenty
miles from Antlers, in getting rid
of his wife.
The story, as it is being told, is
about as follows: The man some
time agotold his wife that he was
going to sell everything here and
move back to some Of the old
states, which was their former
home. 1t is said that few days
later he informed his wife that he
had sold practically everything
and was ready to start.
Accordingly they came to Ant
lers, bringing both their trunks,
and placed them on the depot
platform. He bought a ticket
for the woman and was supposed
to have purchased one for him.
self. When the train pulled out
both the man and woman was
aboard, but before the train had
gone q hundred yards the man
jumped eff, came back to town,
got his trunk and pulled out
home.
From parties who live out in
his neighborhood we learn that
he did not sell his effects, and it
is said that he told one or two
persons that this was the way he
had getting rid of his wife.
II this story turns out to be
correct, no punishment would be
too great for this unnatural hus-
band and parent, for q parent he
was, his wife carrying their
eighteen-months baby with her.

the other bidder picked up a

that instant he hit the other man

that he could bid no more on The
