FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

It cannot be pleasant to have 10 re-
trench and practice small economies
after a period of lavish spending. but
perhaps it is wholesome. At all events.
il is a small matter compared 10 the loss
Of health or the death of a loved one.
as dear good wife told her husband
when he tried 10 soften the news Of his
financial losses In the telling of II. She
received the matter with such cheerful
ness that he got TO the point of regarding
his plight as a temporary embarrassment
although the hard-earned savings of
years were swept away. He has begun
all over again with The courage she gave
him by the sensible attitude she assumed
at the outset
have repeatedly heard another wife
declare that she would willingly go 10 the
Desert of Sahara with her husband if he
found it necessary or advisable 10 go to
that place. In view OF the complacency
with which married folk often regard
separation, this piece Of sentiment seems
all the more remarkable. 1 do not ike 10
hear a wife say that she wishes her hus-
band was like other men and spent his
evenings at the club. or frankly confess
that she finds his business trips a relief
and wishes that they were more frequent.
1 do not like to see daughters accept
any chance TO get away from home and
mother TO see sons who never bother 10
think Of their parents after leaving home
prefer TO find complete sympathy and
unfsiling devotion with a show Of genu-
inc grief when parting is unavoidable,
There have been cases OF beautiful devo-
tion 90 invalid mothers OF wives. and IN
at least two cases which have come un-
der my observation a son has spent years
in devotion to his sick mother and has
never quite recovered from the shock Of
her death.
II is a prosaic age with a dash Of silly
romance which might be dispensed with.
but We miss good deal by the elimina-
ton of family affection or the expression
OF it. 1T seems to me thar any woman
ought TO be perfectly happy with hus-
band such as each Of my brothers make.
said a young woman one day and the
remark showed such an unusual condi-
ton Of love and admiration in a family
larger than the ordinary American house
hold that.I thought It well worth remem-
bering. There is a sister who is idolized
by four brothers, all Of whom are mar
ried. and she manages so finely that the
greatest harmony prevails.
II is the first large family 7 ever saw
in which could be found no trace of ieal-
ousy or envy. Il presume that they have
favorites, remarked one Of the wives,
referring 10 her husbands parents, but If
So we do not know it, There is not
shade Of difference in the treatment Of the
family, and we would find IL n IL was
there. mind that" A few blocks away is
another family where the sons grudge
every penny they spend on the parents
because they have families Of their own,
as they say. Just as If later ties can can
eel those formed az birth, Why. the idea
is not natural; yet We find sons and
daughters forsaking the home of their
childhood and speedily forgetting the oc-
cupants The sight is sufficiently COM
mon 10 harden us, I grant, and IL Is 20
our credit that some OF us remain soft
hearted 20 the end.

Horse Show
At Cumberland
FAIR AND RACING ASSOCIATION
PLANS SOME INTERESTING
EVENTS.

CUMBERLAND, Aug. IA meeting
of the directors Of the Cumberland
Fair and Racing Association was held
last night and It was decided to offer
$4,000 in purses for harness aud run.
ming races and $4,000 in premiums for
the horse and poultry show. An effort
will be made to have Mr.. Clarence w.
Watson, of Baltimore, President Of the
Consolidation Coal Company, exhibit
his horses which won the ribbons in
London. The seat of the Consolidation
Coal Company is in this county and it
is thought that Mr.. Watson will be
sufficiently interested in the Cumber
land event to accede to the invitation
Of the promoters of the horse show.
In addition to the races and horse
show, the association will spend $4,000
in free attractions, which will include
Barney Demorest and Mathewson In
the "loop Of death"
Extensive improvements are being
made at the track. Fifty new stables
are being erected. A number of
horses are now in training at the track
which is in fine condition and is
looked upon as one of the best In
Maryland.
Arrangements are being made for a
big exhibit Of blooded cattle in con
nection with the fair.
The meeting last night was at
tended by full board and It was felt
that if the weather is propttious It will
be the greatest meet in the history of
Cumberland and will be notable ID the
racing annals Of Maryland with prop
er encouragement. Cumberland, the
second city Of Maryland, would no
doubt equal If not excel Hagersown
and Frederick in fair and racing feat
ures. Much encouragement Is being
offered by lovers of legitimate sport
in the Georges Creek region and
there seems, to be no doubt about there
being many exhibitors and q great
outpouring of people from that Sec
ton.
The meet occurs earlier than either
the Frederick and Hagerstown fairs
and many of the attractions for the
exhibition named. will appear IN
Cumberland. The Hagerstown and
Frederick homogeneous are lending
much encouragement to the local en-
terprlse.
The Western Maryland railroad has
consented to run three special trains
daily to the fair grounds from Central
station and only fifteen cents will be
charged for the round trip.

Monday night to Michael sIas, Of the
Mt. oliver Independent Fire Company.
Best IS said TO have bought the re.
volyer last Saturday. After shooting
his wife he left one bullet in the,weap-
on for himself, but evidently lacked
the nerve to use it.
Shortly after O'clock yesterday af-
ternoon the man went to his home and
found his wife rocking in chair and
nursing their only child, two years
old. With a renewal Of their quarrel
he opened fire. Mrs. Best, with the
child in her arms, ran out of the back
door. One bullet penetrated her back
