The widow had set out 70 tell the
new hired man what was what, and
when she came to think 1t over she
couldn't figure that she had got the
best of 1t. He knew his business as a
hired man and attended to 1t. While
he was of the family, he was not with
1t. He kept to himself as much as pos
sibIe, >and while respectful and will
ing, he was quite formal The widow
stood it for couple of weeks and then
began to feel piqued over 1t. The only
one she had to consult with was her
hired girl. and one day she said to her.

The widow couldn't either. She want

want to feel that she was OF some ac-

miffed her TO find that Parker treated
her as indifferently as the well pole,
though with the greatest respect, and
that he preferred to sit in his own

her society in the family room. She

she was churning the butter 1t came

hired girl found the widow blushing

IA Widows Inconsistency

Copyright, 1906 by P. C. Eastment.l
The Widow Henderson employed q
hired man to run things, and she hadn't
been a widow five months when he quit
hoeing potatoes one day to come up
from the field and make her an offer
OF marriage She Indignantly ordered
him TO pack up and move along, and
before night be was gone.
Hired man No, 2 was told to take
warning by the fate Of No. /, and he
restrained his love until one day after
her year OF mourning was UP. The
widow had bought a new COW, and the
COW turned out to be kicker. When
she had knocked the hired man of the
milk stool three times IN succession
and he was running for fence rail
TO pound her to jelly the widow came
out to the barnyard aud said:
Its all your fault, Joe. | can milk
that COW night and morning for q year,
and she will-neyer stir hoof. I
she took the pail and stool and sat
down. she had been milking for five
minutes anu was just about to look
around with smile of superiority on
her face when the cows right leg shot
out like the piston rod OF an engine.
and the widow and the pail and the
stool went end over end and brought
IN against the fence.
Joe ran over to pick the woman up
and say something about her smart
ness, but she was unconscious. Then
he dropped down on his knees and
begged her to come back to earth for
his sake. He loved her like mad
Niagara and couldn't live without her.
He seized her hand and pressed II, and
In his emotion he even went SO far as
to print kiss on her marble brow.
But 1t was one kiss only. While he
was pickering his mouth for a second
one the widow awoke from her solar
rlcxus blow and rose mp and kicked
him harder than the COW had kicked
her. He started to hunt another Job.
a third hired man took bis place. He
knew Of the fate of his predecessors.
and yet not two months had gone by
when he put his foot into the same
bear trap. lie had fallen In love at
first sight, but had been very careful
not to show II. His suspenders held
him until one day he got third drink
OF hard cider and then he tried to take
the widows hand and tell his love. He
got the hand against one Of his sum
burned ears lie also got the bounce.
When hired man No. 4 brought his
trunk the Widow Henderson decided to
leave nothing TO chance. She looked
him square in the eye and said:
II want no nonsense. The minute
You begin to play the fool III begin to
bounce you. am hiring you for a
hired man and not for husband
You refcT 10 the men who have de-
partedy' queried the man, whose name
was Tom Parker and who neither look
cd nor acted like the average hired
man.

TAPPING WATER MAINS.
Charges of Thicvery Against a Water
Supply Company Of New York.

New York, June f.-That the City
water supply company, which supplies
certain sections of Brooklyn and Long
Island City, n. ". and of which Cord
Meyer, chairman Of the democratic state
committee. is president, has for years
been stealing large quantities Of water
from the city mains and selling IL back
Ia the city, is charged in statement
made public Saturday by Water supply
Commissioner Ellison. The water com
pany supplies the city with 100000
gallons of water day at the rate %
Sos Il million. According TO the com.
missioner's statement, he found that at
pne point city main in Brooklyn had
been tapped aud from 10000 to 200.
geo gallons OF water drawn Of daily
and sold to the city in the Long Island
City section. The commissioner saws
that numerous similar eases Of tapping
the minis exist and will be revealed dur
ing tho course Of his investigation.

From the view point OF the average
man housework is very easy. The wife
is right 40 home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go to bed for nap
ii she feels like il. She can order her
household affairs just to suit her own
convenience. If she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
OF the average man.
just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
tiers, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
OF human strength, had said TO the
toiling slaves, vDon't hurry, take o
rest every now and then = only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
wNow, I'll be my own Mistress finds
herself ulave TO household cares and
duties.
And OH how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quiyering under the stress OF pain.
What she would give il she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed In darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but il would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need OF weak, nervous women is
strength, and that heed is fully met
and satisfied by DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. Il makes weak women
strong and sick women well. Ii re-
moves the causes OF women's weak

speeches at Dies Moines. Id which he III
tackled Gov. Cummins for being d tariff
rcyisionist. lic assaulted tho republicans
who demand immediate revision, but lie.
suggested the possibility Of revision, af-
ter the 1908 presidential election. The
secretary said in part; There Is NOT

vision there was three days ago, and
not bit in the republican party for
immediate revision correct that state
ment ! do know two states that are
perfectly willing % remove all the pro-
lection that they have for their own
benefit. The republican party has never
gone out OF power even on the tariff Isl
sue except Immediately following a re-
vision of the tariff at its own hands,
and neither we nor the democrats have
revised the tariff and remained in power
year except IN the case of the Ding
ley bill.
..Sincc the last republican platform
was adopted the committee on ways and
means, which must originate tariff lcgis-
lation, has formulated no revision, nor
has it considered the formulation of
sucli bill. Since that platform was
adopted the congressional caucus has
met again and again. but ii has recon-

not bound by that platforms Does not
the republican president, the leader OF
his party, speak with authority. and as
republicans, are we not bound BY bis re-
