ffN WOMAN'S' place Is in the
 WY home. Let her leave the
 work to the men. Give them chaneeJto support her. and let her look after the domestic side of life," thus said the head of a bureau in one of the governments departments in Washing ton, and surely his decision will greatly edIfy all the poor little girls who are working for s6 a week to keep clothes on their bodies and food in their mouths.
 In the first part of his terrible arraign- ment of the working women this very well-informed gentleman seems to as- sume that no feminine person likes to work, nor does more labor then she can help. In the second part, he as plainly assumes that any woman can marry an eligible man who wants to. and that 1t Is only obstinacy which keeps her from doing so
 Let her leave the work to men. Give them chance to support her, and let her look after the domestic side of life,' as if any woman deliberately stood in a storeSor worked all day as typewriter ACA o PAetoASc lOt ShCSI lONc Ol ubuTpl0B mans place in business affairs; as If any woman wouldn't prefer to have a home, if 1t were possible.
 It would have been a better policy for this chief to have addressed his advice to his own sex. To have argued Don't be so selfish. Be willing to share your salary. Be willing to marry and so per- form the double service of taking care of some delicate woman and making more positions for men" Perhaps the chief himself wasn't married.
 There are few firms which employ wo- men from choice. Usually the business man employs woman because he can ob- tain her services much cheaper than he can that of members of his own sex. And he can obtain her services more reason ably not because she loves to work for a salary insufficient to give her the bare necessities of life, but because she prob- ably has a drunken father and some worthless brothers, and she must help put bread into the mouths of the young CT children.

Must Keep Clean.

While I have no fear whatever that yellow fever will ever reach Birmingham, yet the fact remains that September is the worst month for the spread of the disease" said a prominent Birmingham physician yesterday
 September is nearly here and l see in the papers today that the plague has already spread to Mississippi, twelve cases being reported at Natchez. Then the death rate in New Orleans has slight ly increased, although not yet nearly so great as it was on corresponding days of the month in 1878.
 'Now, Birmingham Is clean but 1t must stay clean for the next month at least. We must not neglect any precautions in the matter of keeping clean. Birmingham should give no excuse for rumor or anx- iety of any sort. The city should be kept clean for the next month. as I think 1t is now Even if we are practically immune from yellow jack we are not from typhoid and malaria. Let's keep cleanirg."

 To natures patient. listening ear Arose tne plaints of man; Without pause from morn to night His endless grumbling ran. The sun was hot, the rain was wet, And neither rightly sent; Besides, each fellow thought himself For higher circles meant. Then grew his ceaseless discontent And swelled In volume strong; Quoth nature. T win make a life Whose protest ia song Twas thus the cricket came to be. With all its winsome tricks, Sole creature on the earth which makea Sweet music when 1t 6cks.

HAS NEW GOVERNOR.
CAPT. FRANTZ TO SUCCEED FER
GUSoN OF OKLAHOMA.
President Selects Ex-"Rough RIDER
for Post-How a Political Career
Was Begun by a Boxing Con-
test with Roosevelt.

Washington.-Capt. Frank Frants
will be the next governor Of Oklahoma
He will succeed Gov. Ferguson when
the latter's term expires, January 13.
Mr.. Roosevelt had shown his conf
dence in the "ex-Rough Rider" captain
by appointing him postmaster at Enid,
and later Usage Indian agent. He
eagerly acted upon the suggestion that
Frantz be named as the successor of
Gov. Ferguson.
If Capt. Frantz should live to receive
his commission as governor of Okla
homa, he will be SO years old, by far
the youngest of the six governors who
have served the people of Oklahoma.
Capt. Frantz was born in Woodford
county, Illinois, May 7, 1872. He is the
son of a farmer of Virginia ancestry.
He is a man of athletic bud direct
and vigorous in his manner and con-
versation. He has the address of the
successful, educated business man, and
his amiability invites friendship. A
slight impediment in his speech an
noys him at times. He is a mixer,
but has never engaged sufficiently in
politics to show his ability as an or
ganizer.
He was educated in Eureka college,
Eureka, H.. removed to Wellington
Kan, in 1890, and mined for several
years in California, Arizona and New
Mexico. In 1893 he went to Okla
homa. The Spanish American war
aroused his patriotism, and he enlisted
in Arizona as a private.
Gov. McCord, of that territory, ap-
pointed him first lieutenant, and when
Capt. "Bucky" O'Neil fell in battle,
Frantz led his captainless Troop A
through the engagement and was given
the commission left vacant by O'Neil.
He was mentioned in general orders
for his bravery, and was recommend
ed by Gen. Joseph Wheeler for brevet
commission at the close of the war.
But congress refused to grant brevets

CHRISTMAS TREE FEATURE.
Dancing Dolls Above Parlor Decor
alton Produces Pretty Effect
for Holiday.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
hance the childrens delight in the
Christmas tree, and once made can be
used year after year, says Womans
Home Companion. Buy up dozen or
more of five and ten-cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the num-
Der some japanese and colored dolls.
Dress these to represent fairies in bright
hues of spangled gauze, tarlatan or tis-
sue paper. and literally sprinkle their
hair and garments with diamond-dust
powder. Each doll should be provided
with a dainty pair of fairy wings made
from spangled tissue paper and fastened
to the body by means of concealed wires.
These wires should be coiled to obtain
motion in the wings, and nothing better
can be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out of worn-out, wire-stitched
brooms. The least motion will set this
spiral to quivering, causing the wings
TO move as if in flight In like manner
use the spiral wire to attach the dolls in
lowering positions over and around the
tree. The effect is magical; every foot
step causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as if invisible fairies of the air
had come down to join him in the
Christmas glee.

and engaged in the mercantile bust

of Enid, in 1900. They have three chill

Soon after President Roosevelt en-

called upon him. During their con-
veEsation Frantz remarked that he had
boxed some at Harvard. Then nothing
would do but he must put on the
gloves with the president.

Fancies in Feminine Dress

Icy winds may blow, snow lie deep on
the ground, yet Milady appears on the
street as we'll as in the house with
sleeves cut off at the elbow. The three
quarter sleeve is a long one these days;
banished the one-time wrist length, save
for shirt-waist and such strictly utili-
tartan garment. OF course this means
expensive long gloves. What is saved
in sleeves is more than lost in hand
shuhe."
The fashionable long glove for even
ing wear is the white suede, and it is
often seen with the dressier afternoon
costumes. 1t makes one long for the
excellent and cheap London glove; here
in America we have to pay so much for
this trihe of the toilette. TO those in
terested in economy we would add that
the long black suede glove is in excel
lent style and that long glove may mean
the 8, IL or "a button. A black glove
makes the hand look small, and the
suede outlines the arm prettily.
We note the number OF attractive hats
that are trimmed with illusion. This
morning we saw very good one with
a lace crown, the crown a low cone, the
brim edged with white velvet; RUIZ
of white illusion almost concealed the
brim and mounted well up on the crown;
a clusted of three camelias nestled in
the illusion on one side, well toward the
front, and under the turned-up back was

as the camelias. pinky white.

And concerning the color of hat one
should wear, taste is divided between
the hat that matches the costume exact
ly and the one that contrasts. An ele-

peacock green are in highest favor in
both millinery and gowns, the cheap
feathers have not driven them out.

of thin stuffs and velvet, almost every
good .dressmaker Will have a model
showing this feature of the seasons
styles. Net and velvet are united, and
with good effect, the net heavy and sub
stantial, the velvet used as band at the
bottom and rather sparingly otherwise.
One excellent model of brown net thus
trimmed was brought to our attention,
and also good black, made up over

ton.
