To Bed With The Children

A group of drummers were
trading yarns on the subject OF
hospitality, when one, a little Vir-
gilman, with a humorous eye and
a delightful drawl, took. up his
parable. thus:
i 81 was down in Louisiana last
month trave!in cross the county
with S. J. Carey (the same being
Stonewall Jackson c., at your
service) when we kinder got
lost in a mighty lonesome sort
o'road just about dark. We rode
along a right good piece after
sundcwn, and when we, saw a
light ahead l tell you it looked
first rate. We drove up to the
light, findin' twas a house., and
when | hollered like lost calf
the man came out and we asked
him to take us in for. the night.
He looked at us mighty hard;
then said, Wal, | reckon | kin
stand it if you kim. So we UNI
hitched went in and found twas
only a two room shanty, and just
swarmin with children. He had
six, from four to eleven years
old, and as there did not seem to
be but one bed, me an Stony was
wonderin' what in thunder would
become of us.
"They gave us. supper, good
hog and hominy, the best they
had and then the old woman put
the two youngest kids to bed, !
They went straight to sleep.
Then she took those out, laid
them over in the corner, put
the next two to bed-and SO on.
After all the children were asleep
on the floor the old folks went
in the other room and told US we
could go to bed if we wanted to,
and bein' powerful tired out we
did.
We'll, sir, the next morning
when we woke up we were lying
over in the corner with the kids
and the old man and the old W0-
man had the bed. '-Lippincotts'

HURRS.

On Monday evening of last week the
young people of Furrs vicinity spent in
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Kirk.
patrick the most pleasant hours of en-
tertainment ever given in that locality.
Among the several features of enter
tainment worthy of mention was the
serving of the most delicious ice cream
and cake. prepared by such charming
young ladies', Miss Clyde O'Caligan,
Gertrude Suddoth, Emma Summers,
Flora King and Mamie Cransby. The
dining room was tastefully decorated
with flowers made doubly beautiful by
the presence of such blossoming young
lives as were gathered around the fes-
tive board. As mnch as the refresh
ments and the presence of the enter
tanning young ladies was enjoyed. yet
the browning success of the occasion
should be attributed to the splendid
music given by Messrs. Harden broth
ers and Sims brothers, r. E. Stephens
and C. M: Bass, The hostess should.
indeed be commended tor the inimita-
BILE manner in which she received.

What Do the zionists- want9,

tine is the Sultan, and would they
have us head a crusade to annex the
country and then hand it over 20
them? In Palestine there are inhabi.

they to be driven out and to be, de-
,prived of the ownership, of the soil?
The scheme is altogether a prepos-
ferrous one. But if the, Jews really
want to found some sort of Hebrew
State, | should advise them to trear'
the matter themselves with the Sui

possibly might agree to deal for a.

FASHION NOTES.

Never was underwear so dainty nor
so cheap. The heavy Italian valen'
ciennes is so satisfactory.
1t would really pay to take few
lessons in tying bows. Ribbon bows
furnish up costumes wonderfully.
The three chief stones of, the sea-
son are turquoise amethyst and the
lighter sapphires. This is true of the
imitation gems as well.
Renaissance lace is very much
used for both cloaks and gowns. And
truly there could be nothing sins9lcr
and handsomer than this.
Butterfly bows in pale ribbons are
correct for night dresses and every
maid should have a box of bows fer
all sorts of occasions, as knots and
loops and ribbon bands are a neces-
sity in these beauty-loving days.

WOMEN WAGE FARMERS.


Over 100000 of the women of the
United States, are wage earners.
About 100000 Of the number are en-
plOyed in industrial pursuits and
nearly 100000, most Of them negres-
ses, are agricultural laborers. me
clubwoman of the country have start
ed a movement to secure thorough
investigation into the conditions I'M
der which working women earn their
bread.
Women in the United States do not
do much of the heavy work performed
by those in other countries. They 90
not harness themselves to carts, or
toll in bog pits, or carry hods here as
they often do In Europe. Here and
there may be found the wives and
daughters of foreigners who go into
the field and pitch hay and grain. as
they did at home. The agricultural
work done by women in this country
Is chiefly cotton picking.
It is the opinion of Mr.. Robert Hun
ter, however, that searching inquiry
into women's pursuits in the United
States will reveal the existence OF
worse state of affairs than is gen.
orally suspected. Much of the work
they do, he says, is extremely in1ur-
ious to their health, and the work
done by mothers or women about to
become mothers has especially deplor-
able consequences to the workers
themselves and also to their offspring
and to society. There are nearly
100000 married women, more than
100000 widows and about $4,000 di-
vorced women in the United States
engaged in gainful occupation. Many
Of them have young children who are
much neglected while their mothers
are away from home making the liv-
ing. These children will largely con-
stitute the ignorant and criminal por-
tion of the next generation of citi-
zens.
The need and propriety of legisla-
ton by the states regulating the con-
ditions of the employment of women,
are now generally recognized, Mr..
Hunter would go still farther and en-
tirely prohibit mothers with young
children from working outside their
homes. He would relieve married Wo-
men from the necessity of outside
work by sending drunken or lazy hus-
bands and fathers to penal institu-
Tons where they would be COMPEL
cd to labor for the support of their
families. widows or women with dis
lbled husbands were educated and
were old enough to help them.
It would be easy to cast ridicule
upon Mr.. Hunters scheme or to
brush 1t aside as ''paternalistic" or
"socialistic," and therefore unworthy
Of attention. 1t would be better and
more profitable to look carefully into
the facts and ascertain whether the
remedy he proposes. or any remedy
the lawmaker can apply is needed to
deal with a growing evil-Chicago
Tribune.

For general wear pongee in the nat
ural color is very satisfactory, says
the Indianapolis News. Because it is
somewhat colorless and needs bright
ening, L have collars and sometimes
belts of sky blue, or scarlet or pref
ty green. The waists, except those for
the very best wear are made to be
washable and pongee of good quail
ity washes as well as linen. 1t is act
ually hard to wear it out, and though
1 am usually denied the luxury OF
giving away clothes, have been able
recently to bestow on young girl
somewhat slighter in figure than my
self pongee gown out of which ]
had between two and three years
steady wear, and which was yet good
enough to be boon to the girl, who
received it thankfully. This gown was
trimmed with narrow blue velvet rib
bon and after it was given up was
freshened up by it's new owner with
new velvet and lace yoke, SO that
1t looked almost like a new gown.
A DUCHESS ROSE GARDEN.
The great interest the Duchess
of Argyll has taken in the new rose
gardens at Windsor is the outcome OF
her intense love of flowers, and she
often makes valuable suggestions as
to the grouping of the different sorts.
the succession of the times of bloom,
soil and so on, which are based on
her own experiences with her rosery
in the grounds of Roseneath Castle.
Queen Alexander is also devoted to
flowers and is said to love white
roses, lilies and violets best. Her
pleasure in them is not limited to
mere walks in the garden or admira-
ton of the blooms gathered by the
gardeners for decoration. Among 9th,
er royal ladies who find charm and
solace in flowers is the Empress
Eugene, who in the palmy days OF her
splendor used often to be called the
Empress of Flowers" She would
stop her carriage at the Madeline
steps in Paris, where the flower mar
ket is held, and getting down, would
pick her way among the market wo-
mems baskets, piling the front seat
of the carriage high with lilies and
violets. Flowers have since consoled
her in the sadness and solitude of her
life in exile. for they are friends which
never change.

And Never the Twain Shall Meet
Kipling's Words Proven Anew.
Fifteen years the bachelor lawyer
and Sam, his Chinese servant, had
lived together in that peace which
passes the understanding of all save
those favored mortaIs who are their
own servants. Sam was cook, valet,
h0usemaid, Waterman, friend-and
perfect in each relation. He never
took a vacation; he seemed not to
eat or sleep. He was always near
when needed; he disappeared when he
should. He knew nothing, yet he
knew everything. For weeks scarce
ly a word might pass between these
two men, they understood each other
so well.
But one morning, SO the story runs
in the San Francisco Examiner" as
Sam poured his masters coffee he
said quietly. without a shade of emo
ton in his yellow face. Next week
leave YOU"
The lawyer smiled.
Next week L leave you repeated
the Chinaman. 81 hire for you bet
ter man."
The lawyer set down his cup OF
coffee. He looked at the .white-robed
servant; he felt the man was in earn
est.
$50 you are going to leave me-
don't pay you enough, Ell? Doctor
L.
you are-has offered you more than
hundred a month. Well, I'll make il
a hundred and fifty. Say no more!"
Next week 1 leave you. l go to-
China said the servant, impassively.
'Oh, see; you are going back for
a wife. Very well, bring her here
here is work for two to keep this
place in order; the place is lonely
anyway. I'll see the collector of the
port myself and arrange your passage
papers,
Il go to China next week; need
no papers; l never come back" said
the man, with exasperating calmness
and persistence.
"You shall not go!" thundered the
lawyer.
Il go!" answered the Chinaman.
1t was the first time in their ex-
perience together that the servant
had used such tone toward his mas.
ter.
After an instant the lawyer said,
quietly, Sam, you must forgive me.
l spoke quickly. do not own you;
but tell me what l have done? Why
do you leave me in this way? You
know need YOU"
81 will not tell you why l go-you
laugh,
mo, I shall not laugh"
Very well; go to China to die"
Nonsense! you can die here.

Il die in four weeks, two days"
What do you mean?"
"My brother, he in prison. He

baby. In China they take any man
of same family instead to die. go

Sam disappeared without saying

from the day he broke tha, news Of

His brother was set free The
lawyers household goes along about

at his heart.
