nearly 100000 to the government, and
many wOrkmen will be engaged in do
ing this work during the next few
days.
Just at present the old boilers are
being taken out and will be replaced
with new ones of the most improved
make There will also be many
changes about the ship and when she
again goes into commission she will
be practically a new vessel.

MAY CONSTRUCT
FINE RACE
TRACK
Louis BOIey Has Made PROPOSE
ton to Pensacola Driving
Association.
SITE OF THE TRACK WILL BE
NORTH OF THE CITY-WiLL BE
ENCLOSED AND STABLE AND
GRAND STAND ERECTED If
AGREEMENT is REACHED.

If the present plans are carried ont
Pensacola will have a fine race track
and ample grand stands and stable
room for any number of horses that
may come to Pensacola for the win,
teri season. Louis Boley has made
a proposition to construct the track
and buildings to the Pensacola Driv-
ing Association, and there is no doubt
but that the latter will accept.
The site of the new track is north
of the city on the east side OF the
railroad track at a point near what
is known as Sunset Lake. Mr.. Boley
owns about $50 acres of land there
and he proposes to enclose sufficien!
of this land to accommodate any
size track desired. Although the
plans are only In their embryo state
it is proposed to erect large grano
stands and a sufficient number OF
stables to quarter large number OF
horses.
1t is the idea to have the track used
not only by the Driving Associat on
during it's racing season, but also u
set some of the big trainers to winter
their fine stock in Pensacola. A mum
Der of them desire to come to Pen
sacola, but at present have no accom-
modations, and if the present dea
goes through there is no doubt but
that many will come to Pensacola
with their stables in the future.
Mr.. Boley has stated that he viii
build the track, and the driving asso
citation will no doubt accept his offer
and all that is necessary to insure the
new track is for them to come to
gether on the proposition.
There will be no races by the driv
ing association at Kupfrian's Parl
this afternoon, owing to the fact that
the track is being repaired, but i
will be completed in time for the
races next Friday.

GENERAL HOUsEWORK GIRLS.
By Helen Mar.

My experience has taught just this Our ser
wants are not our equals in point of education
Then let the educated mind be high in authority
No system can be strong where there is not
good leader Let our servants feel and see that
we know just much, if not more about their
work than they do. To do this must look into
things carefully, for no ignorant of the ms
and outs of house can control her maid Anv
mind will always respond to the superiority of
knowledge 1t is not necessary to parade this
knowledge But if Mary knows that by coming
to her mistress she will be helped out of any
difficulty, she respects that mistress.
Yet, while we above our servants in the
management of our homes the mistress and maid
are equals under the laws of our land The mis-
tress who is wise will not pry into the private af-
tairs of her maid. We cannot, and do not, de
mand all her time. ten-hour day seems to me
impractcable, for homework in its nature does
not admit of ten-hour day unless we can resolve
it into specaltes. That may work well where
there is more than one maid, but to the average
American housekeeper it would mean great de-
privation.

THE RIGHTS OF A MOTHER.
By c. B. B.

In these days, when parents considering as
never before the chids rights in the home driven
TO 1t by the moral pressure of the day. too often
the mother in her fear of defrauding her child be-
comes herself loving slave to her family The
tastes OF the children consulted as to food
dress and amusements. The house is furnished
as the daughter wishes, and meals are served at
the convenience of the son. Unconscouslv the
mother yields her place head of the house until
she is practically nonentity
ct this is the greatest wrong mother can do
to her children Such giving up makes them
IN the end monsters of selfshness, and if she goes
still further and adopts what is practically an alb
Ject attitude toward them, she tempts them ac-
tually to bully her. To be sure the day comes
when the grown up children say remorsefullv
Poor mother What life we led her, and what
SAINT she was!' But the belated tribute is small
comfort to the dead and does not repair the wrong
done to the characters of the children
1T a mother would keep the respect due her
there are certain things to which she must claim
her right, and hold to them even when she is
willing and anxious to give them up. Perhaps the
first OF these is her right to rest The tired mother
is never at her best; it is impossible to be fresh
and smiling and cheerful when one is ready to
drop with fatigue and yet small children who do
not sleep well at night and are restless and fretfuI

made and meals cooked for them, demand more

How can a mother secure rest? For one thing
she can simplify her work as far as possible Her
table may be just as wholesome without being so
elaborate; she can make study of simple meals
She can also make the children's clothes far less
work, buying more which ready made and
putting fewer stitches where she must make them
at home Beside these things she can study how
to have her children help her. in spite of school
Instead of saying, "Poor things, they have to
study so hard, and they will be young but once"
and saving them everything, she can train them
to give her an hours work day-haf before

and the Improvement of their own lives They
can learn to for their own rooms. the bows
as well as the girls; they pick up their cloth
lng their toys and books; they can sweep up the
mud they bring in they wash the dishes and
set the table; and the girls, least can do their
own mending. They will love their mother the
more for helping her, and the less for doing for
them what they well know they should do for
themselves. All this will give the tired mother a
chance to lie down and, better than this a chance
to get out of doors and away from her family
Tor an hour or so; she will come back fresh and
rested and good natured, to be a better mother
to better children.
