WOMEN RULE THE HOUSEHOLD.
Among the FiIipinos She is Always
the Business Manauer.

The women of the Philippines holds
a position quite unique. The wom-
an is the business manager and
financier of the family. Although
poor and uneducated, she is accus.
toned to hold her own and is con
sidered poor spirited, indeed, if she
fails to manage her affairs with skill
She usually carries on a business of
her own independent of her husband.
She is in the habit also of attending,
In company with her husband, the
gambling den, the cockpit and also
takes part in political discussions.
She has plenty of spare time, how
ever, as the houses are simple in con-
struction and easily cared for. The
floors are of bamboo and, as the dust
Sits through, require little sweeping.
There are no windows to polish, no
icebox to keep sweet and clean, no
closets to keep in order. When the
beds are rolled up in the morning
the work Is done for the day. There
are no preserves to put up and no
winter supplies to store away, for
marketing is done as Is needed each
day, or three times a day. No fam
lily lives alone, for there are usually
relatives or orphans who share the
life and work of home, so that
there is little to do and still less to
occupy the mind.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD GET TO-
GETHER.

All things are not serene in the Re-
publican party locally, haven't been
for quite a while. There are dissen-
tions in the party within and enemies
without. 1t is the internal unhar-
moniousness, however, that is dan
gerous. The Democrats are playing
a waiting game, expecting something
to turn up and in the meantime are
endeavoring to increase the misun-
derstandings among Republicans.
That is natural; it is politics. The
Kyuse crowd that arrogates to itself
the title of American" is attacking
the Republicans both openly and
stealthily, keeping particularly in
view the election next fall.
Normally the Republicans should
and would carry this state and this
county by an overwhelming majority,
but they won't unless they cease the
internicene warfare and get together
There is no real reason why the dis
sentions in the Republican party
should exist. That leaders are neces-
sary, is self evident fact. There is no
reason. Bosses will not be tolerated,
reason. Bose will not be tolerated,
that is well understood and has been
demonstrated again and again.
For the good Of the party an under
standing should be reached and with
a united party the Republicans can
carry the county and state against all
opposition.

MRS. YERkES-MIZNER.


There are some things in this ex-
istence of ours that tend to make us
tired, and there are other things that
tend to make us more tired.
Take the case of this youthful
widow of the late Charles T. Yerkes,
the traction magnate, for instance.
Yerkes hasn't been dead very long;
only few weeks. His cold form
hadn't been deposited in the bosom
of Mother Earth but a short time ere
the plump, full breasted widow he left
behind him welded an angular young
man, with face akin to a Ratchet,
named Miner. 1t was said to be a
love match, case Of one affinity col
liding with another; sort of honey"
and sweetness" Love at first sight
wasn't in it. They loved each other
ere they met. Each had pictured the
other in fancy for years and years.
Oh, my!
After the ceremony it was reported
that Miner had welded the fair
young widow because there was
dough in it. She was told that he was
mercenary and sordid. That he didn't
care for her, but was in love with her
money. She affected to believe it;
did believe it, for time, shed quart
or two of rich and salty tears and
aired her grievances at length in the
yellow press. Her portrait, decollete
of course, adorned front pages of
eastern journals, while his, sketched
by line artists and fearfully and won
derfully contorted, was printed along
side. Lurid writer's told pathetic
tales of her little, fluttering. wounded
heart The newspapers had a picnic
telling how she sat and sighed, and
sighed, and sighed, and sighed, and
wept and wept and then wept some
more. 1t was such damp reading a
man had to hold his paper by the fire
to dry it.
Then she arose in all her womanly
majesty and cast the fellow off. Able
editors congratulated her on having
escaped from the clutches of this gold
gobbling galoot. 1t was reported that
she was going to give Miner $4,000
and churck him out on the cold, cruel
and unsympathetic world. The press
applauded her. People who read UNI
consciously cheered her and compli-
mented her on being a woman ol
nerve and determination.
But alack and alas, also Dear Me!
Here she goes and makes up and an
nounces that it was all a mistake;
that 'Mizy" is the dearest and cutest
ever" and that she and he, Ducky and
Lambie, Tootsey and Wootsey, Pigeon
and Pet, Honey and Lovey, Deary and
Dewey are going to unite and never,
never, never again part until one of
them is yanked hence
And the yellow journals are still
printing stories.-C M. Jackson.

VOICED HIS THOUGHTS ALOUD.
Comment Not Intended for PuhIica-
ton, But II Was Heard.

Sometimes a mans brain plays him
queer tricks, as it gives some uncon-
scious twist to thought or speech and
then straightway resumes its normal
functions, leaving its owner greatly
embarrassed.
The case in point is that of rather
singular man who through lonely
life became misanthropic and who
often, lacking other company, would
talk to himself. At all times he seemed
preoccupied, and, though possessed
Of a well-stored mind, he seldom
sought the society of others.
Twenty years or more of this sort
Of life had passed when one morning
as he was walking down hotel cor
ridor he heard Good morning, col
onel," in a sweet feminine voice. I'm
consciously he said: Now, who the
deuce is she?" Then turning with that
courtesy which is peculiar to "the old
school gentleman" he replied: Good
morning, madam"

though up to date they are advised
that the first stop of any consequence

tons and the recent heavy snowfall
but what deliveries promised will be
in ample time for the intermountain
trade. 1t is learned that number of
sales of Ramblers have been made
and that quite few machines are
promised for April first. Evidently
the demonstrations made this winter
on the STREETS of our city by Rambler
Touring Car No. 5S17, by H. P. FL
lott, are such as to have convinced
many prospective purchasers that the

Apple Tea as a Beautifier.

New among beautifiers as substi-
tute for the morning coffee is apple
tea. Although name, appearance and
make suggest the southern apple tod
dy, the beauty destroying ingredient
of the teddy is left out and the con-
coction is made by soaking small
grains of apple over night and then
letting it boil five minutes, when it Is
ready to be taken. Although it is not
a pretty drink, as the apple turns to
a brownish black mass, a good flavor
is claimed for it, said to be equal to
orange cider. 1t is pronounced almost
a specific for the complexion and rheu-
matte troubles, if taken the first thing

an who postpones the first meal of the

The report that Mrs. James g. Blaine.

oence In South Dakota, the Mecca OF

from the fact that her husband. son

relied. and the wife obtained q divorce.
