she saws. she is entitled to both. A
perfect womanhood requires both work

1T is a national mistake to put bar

much like the policy of ancient Greece
Not from her brilliant women, but
from the domestic women, despised
and uncultured, came the children.
Had freedom and intellectual develop

mothers. who can say how long Greece
might have maintained her marvellous
production of brain giants?"
Mrs Commander declares there is no
place in the world for idle women. 1.-THE
idle women now maintained are sup
ported at the expense of a working
childhood. The wealth that might be
produced by women now unemployed,
their enegies going to waste, would
keep and care for and educate all the
million and quarters of miserable
toil;ng child slaves who are growing
into stunted and dwarfed manhood and
womanhood. The nation can not af-
ford working babies and idle women.
The child has become an economic
hindrance and burden, declares the
author, because "of our strenuous rush
for wealth-our higher standards of
living-our fierce competition for sue

Ate Ten Carloads of WatermeIons.

Rocky Ford, Colo.-Another Water
melon Day." day now historic in
Colorado, has passed and the record
of that day is one of triumphal sue
cess The weather was ideal and the
attendance $4,000, the largest on rec
ord.
Every home in the city was deserted
and the special trains from the towns
and cities of the Arkansas valley
brought the population for miles
around. Thousands of vehicles lined
the streets of Rocky Ford.
AT the fair grounds was the great
watermelon pile; ten carloads, plenty
and to spare.
Ten years ago $500 sufficed to buy
the melons for the great feast but this
year the bill was $1,000. The money
was raised by the business men of
Rocky Ford. And the Rocky Ford folk
did the festival bupsiness up right. Ev
erybody had plenty. and the great pile
of melons soon melted before the on
slaught of individuals of rapacious
appetite. There were thousands of
cantaloupe, too, that helped out the
melons, if they needed any helping.

cause his sister-in-law had interfered
with his attempts to regain her af-

stabbed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Victor
Yarson, in the abdomen, back and right
arm and finally attempted suicide by

Both Mr. and Mrs. King and Mrs.
Yarson were taken to the county hos

Mrs. King, the first victim of the
love-crazed husband, was stabbed two

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-To prepare a
half dozen addresses, each to be read
very generally by nation of 80,000,-
0OC people, to be delivered before Oc-
tober Sd, is the task to which the Pres.

be called on for as many extemporane-
Gus talks.

cation with a dash through the middle
West and South. He will appear first
at Canton, Ohio, September 30th.-At

place the President will begin his
cruise Of the Mississippi, aboard a
steamer bearing the rivers name.
The river trip will be punctuated
with functions at st. Louis, where an
other speech will be delivered, at

Jim Howard Not Guilty

Georgetown, Ky.-Goaded by the
statement here in the opening speech
of Judge S. Whager, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, that he would not
pardon Caleb Powers if convicted of
conspiracy in the murder of Governor
William Goebel, Powers tonight issued
a written statement saying that he
had at last learned the name of the
man who murdered Goebel, and could
point him out. No previous statement
made by Powers has created so pro-
found sensation, for 1t is believed at
last that the real murderer of Gov
ernor Goebel will be learned. Powers
says that the man who killed Goebel
is not Jim Howard, who Is serving a
life sentence in the penitentiary on

GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re.

about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
"Mr. Crawford went to school," he
said, Gin Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at a Concord clergy.
mans.
THE clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands. he amused himself with try
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gj-
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
"It was a close fit, but unfortunate
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analyzed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that "is best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for it's ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and SO each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics of
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin, and you take this, to you, mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come IN, If you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having II
refilled.

the waiting and welcome arms of
mob.
The mob, composed exclusively of
Earle's neighSors and former friends,
dragged him from his carriage, which
they overturned, trailed him in the
mud, lashed him with horsewhip, and
might have responded to the repeated
suggestions that rope be secured had
not the mayor of the village and the
chief of police recalled them to their
senses and given Earle safe conduct
to his home.
In the afternoon Earle had narrow
escape from being mobbed by crowd
of unsympethetic longshoremen while
he was waiting on the Hamburg
American pier in Hoboken to wave
farewell to the wife and infant son.
Five minutes before the liner left
with his wife and baby aboard, the ar

the Hoboken dock of the Hamburg
American company, lodging the blows
and the hard words that were aimed
at him by the crowd of dock laborers
who knew nothing of the longings of
the temperamental nature, or the
emancipation of love-" and who are so
crude as to have nothing but contempt
for a man who would trade wives at
the promptings of his artistic soul.
