BOYS and girls are often spoll-
ed by parental gloom. The faith
er never unbends. The mothers
rheumatism hurts SO she does not
see how little Freely can ever
laugh. Childish curiosity is de-
nounced as impertinence. The
parlor is parliament, and every
thing in everlasting order.
Balls and tops in that house
are a nuisance, and the paper
that the boy is expected to relish
most is geometry, little sweet
ened by the chalk of blackboards.
For cheerful reading the father
would recommend "Young's
Night Thoughts and Hervey's
''Meditations Among the Tombs. "
At the first chance the boy will
break loose. With one grand leap
he will clear the catechism; he
will burst away into all riotous
living. He will be so glad to get
out Of Egypt that he will jump
into the Red Sea. The hardest
colts to catch are those that have
a long time been locked up. Re
straints are necessary but there
must be some outlet. Too high a
dam will overflow all meadows.
THE women who looks forward
to a time when the tightening of
household cares will give her
time for mental development
should begin the lightening-up
process at once. There is always
a best way to do things. The
benedict who gave his wife an
easy lesson in saving time on the
dish-washinging by pitching the
china and the fragments of the
feast all into hot water together
may not have struck the best
way. But if the dishes came
out of the scrimmage clean and
unbroken who could dispute his
assertion that it was better than
spending an hour in scraping the
plates. Figuratively speaking
there is q great deal of time
wasted in scraping the plates in
magnifing trifles in getting
ready to do something. The real
business of the day is crowded
through in some way, but there
are SO many other things that are
given undue prominence that by
the time the day is over the poor
housemother is a bundle of nerves
and WEAKNESS. But it isn't al
ways SO. The years that have
opened nearly every avenue in
the business world to woman have
taught many Of them to apply
business methods in the manage
ment of a home. Good rules of
action get the answer wherever
they are applied. If concentra-
ton is a necessity in an office il
is equally important in the home
for where it is properly applied
it enables one to accomplish the
best results with the least labor.
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

She can come to decision with
out the slightest trouble of rea-
soning on it; and no sane man
can do that.
Six Of them can talk at once
and get along first rate, and no
two men can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins
in her dress while he is getting
one under his thumbnail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in
half a dozen tight dresses and
skirts, while man will fret and
fume and groWl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peach
es and cream to the woman she
hates, while two men would be
punching each others head ,be-
fore they had exchanged ten
words.
She can appreciate kiss from
her husband seventy-fve years
after the marriage ceremony is
performed.
She can go to church and aft

Denver, Col, June 2O.-This. the

revision, remained to be acted upon
today 1t had been agreed before the
convention assembled today that to
each state represented will be given
ten votes and to each chamber of COM
merce or other recognized commercial
organization five votes.
On the opening of the convention
this morning Murdo Mackenzie, pres
fdent of the American National Live
Stock association, demanded to know
when those in favor of the present
plan of administration of public lands
could be heard. The chair announced
that they would be heard Immediately
after Secretary James A. Garfield and
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot had
made their responses to the papers al
ready read.
when the report of the committee
on credentials was read it was found
pointed a delegate by the governor of
Missouri.
While there was doubt as to wheth-
err Missouri was included in the call
of the convention, DR.. MCGEE, who is

This was the first test of the
strength of the two sides, the result
being that the government forces were
defeated The disposition of the ma
tional organizations was then referred

FOR A PURSE OF $40, 900
'9EIectiOnecr'' a Favorite in the Sub
urban at Sheepshead Bay.

New York, June 2O.-The great
suburban handicap drew thousands to
the race course at Sheepshead Bay to-
day. Seventeen horses were carded to
start in the struggle for the rich stake
OF $4,000 and the honor. Forty
thousand people were expected to be
at the race course by the sea at the
start of the big race. The early
arrivals at the track found a course
lightning fast and fit for the heart
breaking contest of mile and a quar-
ter. a smart shower early in the day
laid the dust and then the sun broke
through the clouds bright and clear.
Trackmen had the loamy course
combed and dressed after the candi-
dates for the suburban had been given
their early morning exercises. The
horses were given Only a slight breez-
ing and then taken to the stables to
await the call of the bugle. The
horses entered for the suburban, with
their weights and jockeys, were as fol-
lows:

1900. won both the Brooklyn and the
Suburban handicaps. The race, how
ever, according to the moderate opin-
ions expressed at the track today, was
expected 10 be an open contest.
The Suburban was first run in 1884,
when it was won by General Monde.

One of the most important items of
business passed upon this morning was
question of engaging a field secretary
for the state. This proposition has
been foStered by the Topeka local un-
ion for some time but never received
favorable action until this morning
There are enough finances pledged to
the support of field secretary to as
sure success in the new venture. This
office will be filled at a meeting of the
executive committee which will take
place soon.
This afternoon arrangements have
been made with the Kansas City
! .cavenwortn EIe ctric Railway COM
pany for a trip to Leavenworth where
the fort and Soldiers Home will be
visited by about 500 of the delegates.
