from his headquarters and sent q
scout to learn the cause When he re-
ported, Grant ordered bonfres lighted
along the Federal lines as well. A
few days later there was struggled
through the lines and into Gen. Pick
ett's tent a baby's silver service, on
which was inscribed "To George r.
Pickett, Jr., from his fathers friends,
g. S. Grant Rufus Ingals and Sur
geon General Suckley."
The day after the great fire follow
ing the fall of Richmond, Lincoln.
with a small body guard, walked
through the streets of the charred city.
AS he approached the corner occupied
by Gen. Pickett's residence, he directed
the guard to wait, and to their aston
ishment ran two steps at time up to
the door and raped. The servants had
fed. The "Baby- Bride" had never seen
President Lincoln, but she had read
his letters to her husband and from
him had learned to hold in the highest
esteem the great northern President.
With her baby in her arms she opened
the door and looked up at the tall
gaunt man with the sad face and I'M
couth ways.
Without a word of explanation he
asked
rs George Pickett about?"
To hear her husbands name bereft
of its title by Yankee, at that mo-
ment. was almost the limit, especially
as many rJmor had foated about
Richmond concerning the fate which
awaited the leaders of the Confeder-
acy.
With ali the proud dignity she could
command the Baby-Bride replied:
Gen. Pickett Is not at home"
The stranger seemed disappointed
and, as he returned to go, remarked /:
Il am Abraham Lincoln, an old
friend Of Georges"
"Not President Lincoln?@ Mrs Pick.
EFT exclaimed. The tall man shook his
head, repeating:
mo. Just Abraham Lincoln, George
Picketts old friend"
Following the instant promptings OF
the heart which still governs her, "the
Baby Bride thrust her baby boy into
the arms Of the gaunt Yankee, as her
best effort to express her veneratlor
and confidence, saying:
II am George Pickett's wife and
this is George Pickett's baby"
While Grant was President, Gen
Pickett with his wife and baby were
guests at the White House for two
weeks.
From the time Of her husbands
death Mrs. Pickett has resided In
Washington, hiding troubles of her
own that she might be free to lend
hand to others in trouble, and in spite
of her busy life and vitality
ing duties she has been the social fay
orite, from the White House down,

women ON the Farm.

When one considers that the profits
of the farms in the United States were
recently computed to amount to six
times as much as the capital stock OF
all the banks in the country, the women
who are doing their share of farming,
whether as individuals or as help
mates, may very well rejoice to be in
such profitable business, says an ex-
change.
The country girl should think it over
carefully before she leaves the farm to
seek work in city. The small town
and the country homestead are pretty
good places for her to live in. Every
one knows here ard takes friendly
interest in her welfare After all, con-
tentment, safety and a decent life are
better worth having than the change,
dangers and excitements of a large
city. There, work is the real, stern,
grinding thing; the struggle for exist
ence is hard and fierce, and woe to
those who fail
If the salary to be earned is higher,
so are the necessities of life. And
what shall we say OF the unwholesome
moral and physical atmosphere to
which the country girl stands exposed?

Women in late years have begun TO
demand, as part of their rights, that
they should be paid as highly as men
when they do the same work as men.
Thoughtful persons differ as TO the
justice of granting the demand no"
widely they disagree was illustrated oy
the treatment which the New YORK
legislative and executive officers gave
to bill directing the New York city
board of education to pay the same
salaries to men and women teachers
doing the same work in the same
schools.
The bill passed both houses OF the
legislature. The mayor of New YORK,
to whom it was submitted In accord
ance with the home rule provisions OF
the State constitution, vetoed 1t on the
ground that it did not treat all women
teachers in the city with equal justice
The legislature pasesd it over the may
or's veto and sent it to the governor.
The governor has vetoed 1t for the rea-
son that it applies to part OF the
teachers in one city only, whereas,
the principle of equal pay for equai
work" be admitted as sound, ne mann
tains it should be applied to all teach
ers in the whole State, and to all other
employees in the public service, includ-
ing those in the State hospitals, tue
reformatories and charitable mstitu-
lions. He objected to the passage OF
any law on the subject till the impor-
lance of the principle involved Is thor-
oughly understood.
Ordinarily the question OF pay
fixed by the law of supply and demand,
the same as the price of wheat or po-
tatoes, of roses or violets. For many
years teaching was about the only oc-
cupation, outside of homework, open
to women who had to earn their own
living The large supply of teachers
then kept the wages down. To-Day
score or more of trades and professions
formerly pursued solely by men are
followed by women, and the qualifica-
lions of teacher have been raised SO
high that only trained women can Sc
cure employment. This, as the COVER
nor of New York intimated, has broad
ened the question till it touches every
occupation in which women are found.
The discussion of the equal pay bill
this year has set many persons to
thinking on the subject who have been
Indifferent before. 1t has been settled
in some States in favor of the Women
Youths Companion.

1T COSTS MORE TO EAT NOW.
Prices Have Been Advanced in All
Sorts of Foods.

Prices Have Been Advanced In All
Sorts of Foods.
The price of everything to eat has
been advanced, says the Kansas City
Star. Even the price of toothpicks is
higher now than a few weeks ago. In
many instances the advance has not
been slight" but the kind that makes
a man look at his grocery bill two or
three times before he can realize what
has come to pass.
The big wholesalers have placed
barrel of black gunpowder under their
price lists and lifted them sky high.
They say they are not to blame. It's
either the weather, the green bugs, the
box manufacturers or the tin trust the
public will have to blame, they say.
The lumbermen charge more for lum-
Der and the tin trust more for tin, so
it costs from 6 to cents more a dozen
to pack can goods now than it did last
year. There is light crop In Califor-
MIA and labor is very high-priced there
these days. Cold weather in other sec
tons has killed the fruit and the sea-
son is backward In all sections, so that
canned fruits and vegetables are selling
for more now than ever before.
The advance is not in canned goods
only. Salt is worth 10 cents a barrel
more -four 65 cents more a barrel and
ham, bacon, beef steak, pork chops in
proportion. 1t is simply a regular
stampede to high prices with little pros
pect Of relief
Even the oyster beds have been blank
weather, earthquakes or some other
causes not known. But it is certain
that Mr.. Oyster has taken tumble for
deep water or scattered In the sea gar
dens
The man from Germany, who has
been congratulating himself on being
able to buy canned sauerkraut as one
of the new canned gools varieties, will
have to take from his pocket a little
more money now when he buys this
delicacy. 1t is no longer economy to
eat dried apples for breakfast, drink
water for dinner and swell up for sup
per, because the price of all kinds of
dried fruit is away up. The person
who eats it Is simply up against it hard.
The people in all classes are hit hard
by the advances. The price of corn is
up and the prospects are 1t will stay
there. Corn bread and hominy have
been most reliable dishes to fall back
on in hard times and high prices, but
the Iowa, Missouri and Kansas farm
err, " 20 has been selling his corn be-
low the cost of production Will receive
more for it this year. Sweet potatoes
and Irish potatoes are also on the adj
vance list in most pronounced way.
People are more wasteful in the
things they buy to eat these prosperous
times than ever before" one grocer
said this morning. 'They will have to
60 back to the old economical way Of
the kitchen and dining room. The cost
of living along all lines has been in
creased. The farmer that can produce
a good crop this year will make big
money.
Don't kick be cheerful and hope for
a bountiful crop.

The luxurious outfits of the babies
who are born with gold spoons in their
mouths would have made the young
mothers of a generation ago open their
eyes with wonder, but in this genera
ton, when there are only one or two
children in each fashionable family, as
a rule, the relatives and friends Of the
little ones are ready to shower the
newcomer with beautiful gifts. There
has been a sad lack of variety in the
articles that can be given to a baby,
and the latest novelty which has come
put in that line has become popular with
purchasers. The little son of the Clar-
ence Mackays received five sets of
these new toilet articles, which consist
of two tiny military brushes with
plain silver backs, on which the mono
gram is engraved, and tiny comb with
silver back to match. 1t causes a smile
to come to every face when persons
first see these miniature copies of mems
toilet articles.

WIFE OF A aREAr SOLDIER.
Mrs. Pickett, the Baby-Bride of the

Confederacy.
One of the most popular women In
Washington society and one of the best
known women of the South is Mrs.
La Sale Corbell Pickett, wife of the
great Confederate soldier, Gen. George
e. Pickett, who led his brave 10000 in
that awful charge at Gettysburg. In
civil war times she was called the
Baby-Bride Of the Confederacy, for
she married the great general in the
darkest days of the conflict following
the battle of Gettysburg.
Mrs. Pickett might well be cele-
brity, If she chose to be; but she in
stinctiyely shuns the glare of reflected
glory. A thousand times committees
and managers have tried In vain to
drag her to the from as the wife of the
great general. If Mrs. Pickett should
ever yield to the opportunities of all
who know her, and write a book of
memories, 1t would be library of so
cial and political adventure, of battles
ana victories with a gallery of almost

in our history since the days when
events came growing 6ward the out.
break Of the civil war. -
The first time she saw Gen and Mrs
Grant was through field glass from
near Gen. Pickett's headquarters, when
the two armies faced each other. Mrs.
Grant, who was visiting the Federal
camp, was firing the initial shots in
testing some new cannon. While Mrs.
Pickett sat in her saddle watching, an
officer who had just spoken to her
and was riding away, was Instantly
killed by one of the balls
Lincoln and Grant were both old and
warm friends of Pickett's and re
manned so through all the bitterness of
civil war. The night when the present
Maj. Pickett was born, bonfres were
lighted all along the Confederate lines,
in celebration. Grant saw the fires

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The ingenuity of the modern woman
has discovered a new method of earn
ing a competence. She breaks hus-
bands. There have been women who
made their living at breaking horses,
but not until very lately did some
emancipated female genius go in for
misunderstanding. Ingenious woman !!
For moderate fee she is prepared to
make heightened stay, and gradually
mold the newly-married husband ac-
cording to the pattern that his wife re-
quires. Since Adam was driven from
paradise it is doubtful il man has ever
felt the effects of the fall so severely
as he does at this moment!

Cleaning Gilt Francs.

An excellent way to clean gilt
frames is to put a gill of vinegar into
a pint of cold, soft water. Then, after
the frame is freed from dust, dip a
large camel's hair brush into the
liquid, squeeze it partly dry and brush
the frame, doing only a small piece at
a time, lightly up and down, until the
gliding is bright and clean. The brush
liquid renewed when dirty. In finish
ing squeeze the brush dry, and brush
the gliding or gilt frame, or other gid
ed articles; never touch them with
cloth. but always dust them with a
soft brush.

Such women should give at least half
an hour each day to complete relaxa-
ton. Late in the afternoon is the best
time, anywhere from half past four to
seven. One of the best methods of
resting is to take hot bath and then
get into bed, quite as if it were bed
time. If one is only able to spend ten
minutes in bed this treatment will be
found wonderfully helpful.

what a Woman May Do.

A woman who is looking for some
thing new in the way of an occupa-
ton might follow the lead of the Paris
woman who has organized a messen-
ger service, and the woman was an
American. She has an army of boys
who work in eight-hour shifts and de
liver messages on bicycles. 1t would
not be necessary to establish a mes
good enough service of that sort al
ready established. The only thing is
TO establish something that is needed
and that we have not got.
