The TYRANNY of Custom.

Every human being has natural af-
fections and natural antipathies. In
stead. however, of obeying the impulse
which makes us pursue the former and
avoid the latter, we allow the most
intimate relationship in life to be de-
cided by calculating reason. Even in
the matter of food and drink, we
neither eat when we are hungry nor
drink when we are thirsty, but when
ever the ringing of bell summons
us to meal for which we may or
may not have the smallest inclination.

of wOman's undergarments, it has been
relegated by the new sheathlike skirts
to a position which is completely lg-
nored by the up-tO-date dressmaker.
For the up-to-date dressmaker realizes
the Importance of underwear in a per-
feet fitting gown, and she insists that
the lingerie be adjusted to the figure
as carefully as the dress itself. Now,
the drawing string never guaranteed
anything save convenience even in. the
days when skirts were fiaring as a
peony, and in these days their use is
sure to produce great bungling welts
under the skirt and bodice. For this
reason, no woman who pretends to

ance with the drawing string.

INC LEGAL Status of Woman.


The judgment of the Supreme Court
of the United States, with reference
to the constitutionality of the Oregon
law limiting the laboring hours of
women, decides authoritatively a much
disputed question. Oregon, like some
other States, has a law which pro-
hibits employers from requiring of
women more than ten hours labor
day Ii mechanical aud manufacturing
establishments The Supreme Court or
Oregon upb6ld til law against the con-
tention that it interfered with the
right of contract secured by the four
teenth amendment of the Constitution.
When the case came to the Supreme
Court OF the United States, it was ar
gued by defenders of the law that con-
stitutionaI privilege is not infringed
by a provision which protects the
health of women and so of the race.
that the State has a right to forbid
employers from exacting from women
an amount of labor inimlcal to health,
Just as 1t has a right to demand SAM
tary workshops and take other meas
Ures TO secure human life against dis
ease and unhygienlc conditions.
This argument is embodied In the
opinion of the court. delivered by Mr..
Justice Brewer, who goes further, and
establishes the principle that women,
the same as children, are entitled TO
special protection of a sort that would
not be recognized by the law in the
case OF men. "Her physical structure
and a proper discharge of her mater
nal functions, having in view not
merely her own health, but the we'll
being of the race, justify legislation to
protect her from the greed as we'll as
the passion of man. The limitations
which this statute (the Oregon law
places upon her contractual powers,
upon her right to agree with her en-
ployer as to the time she shall labor,
are not imposed solely for her benefit,
but also largely for the benefit of ALL"

similar laws, and Justice Brewers de
,cision fixes their constitutiOnality and

John Schultz, paying teller of the First
National bank of Racine, who had been
with the concern twenty years, is declared
a defauter in the sum of $15,000 and
he has disappeared. The expose came
when Charles Mertens of Madison, ma
tiOnal bank examiner, arrived on his semi
annual visit to investigate the local m
stitution. Before the investigation was
completed Schultz had vanished, suppos-
eddy taking street car to Milwaukee,
from where it is believed, he went by boat
to Michigan and thence across the river
at Detroit to Canada. Friends of the
young man declare he must have been
insane and fear he will kill himself The
discovery created a tremendous sensa-
ton throughout the city. because of the
fact that Schultz was born and educated
there, comes from one of the oldest Ger
man families and is a society man and
musician of considerable prominence. Only
year and half ago Schultz married a
girl prominent socially. Less than two
months ago auditors made careful ex-
animation of the accounts of the bank
and found that they balanced to penny,
and the money taken was stolen during
the last sixty DAYS.

FORTUNE COMES TO MAN.
Former British Soldier WiIIed $780,
900 by Rescued Officer.

Carrying a wounded officer on his back,
across fields burning from the heat of a
tropical sun, with only the thought of
reaching medical aid before the gaping
wound brought death to the sufferer, has
finally brought its reward to Harry
DALEY Of Waukesha, formerly a soldier
in the British army. For the last fifteen
years Daley has been a cement walk
contractor in Waukesha. Years ago he
served the British crown as a soldier in
the colonies. He never had the good for
tune of rising from the ranks-perhaps
the plan of leaving the service and seek
ing a fortune in the great country across
the water was carried out before merit
could bring its reward. While serving in
one of the colonies Daley took part in
many skirmishes until one day the COM
handing officer fell, shot down in a coun-
try familiar only to the enemy, where
settlements were few. The officers fall
was noticed by Daley in the heat of the
fight and the wounded man rescued. A
month ago DALEY was called abroad by
the news that this officer had willed him
$4,000, one-third of his fortune, and he
has returned to Waukesha with the
money.

BIGGEST DEAL OF YEAR.

Isaac Stephenson Company Sells

of lumber sold was over 65,O00,00O feet,
and includes large amount of laths and

alton, although not as high as last year
for similar amount of lumber, is not
less than $75O,O00. The deal was made
by Senator Isaac Stephenson of Mari
nette and Edward Hines of Chicago.

Women succeed as Gardeners.


Tie women gardeners of England
are doing a great work in their coun.
try in extending the knowledge OF
scientific methods Of cultivating the
soil.
For the most part they are young
women of good social position, who
have taken up with their vocation be-
cause 1t is more attractive to them
than other callings that are open to
the English woman, and because, also,
it is fairly remunerative, whether they
work for others or operate on their
own account.
Many of them are employed on large
estates. where they hold the import
ant and responsible posts of head
gardeners; others are specialists, hav-
ing charge OF certain branches of the
agricultural work which their en-
ployers carry on. A great many Of
the women, however, are in business
for themselves, operating on lands
which they own or control under lease.
But whether these women gardeners
count, they are able to apply to their
operations the scientific methods with
which they have become acquainted in
some one of the schools and colleges
of England which undertake to pre-
pare women for the proper discharge
of the duties of farmer and gardener.
All over England they are showing by
their works how to attain the best re-
suits from farming and gardening, and
how to till the land economically and
profitably.

CAUGHT AFTER WORLD CHASE.
KenOshR Man, Charged with $4,000
Theft, Arrested by Detectives.

hemOSnA Man, Charged Win YO1OOO
Theft, Arrested by Detectives.
After having been trailed by detectives
throughout the United States and Europe
for nearly year, Harvey L. Wells, q
years of age, son of wealthy Kenosha
parents, was arrested in East Cambridge,
Mass, on a charge of larceny of $1,000
from the First National bank of Ke
nosha, of which he was cashier. Hardly
had he been locked up in the Tombs,
when a young woman, who claimed to be
his wife, presented herself stating that
she had heard her husband had been ar
rested and that she desired to see him.
Wells disappeared on Oct. Z, 1907 The
Pinkerton agency traced him to Chicago,
then over the United States into Canada,
and finally to Europe. While in Liver
pool, it is reported, he fell in love with
a girl, who was a member of the family
of rich retired trader. When the fugi-
tive was forced to leave the country
through the activities of the Pinkertons,
the young woman eloped to New York
with him, it is said. From New York
the couple Travelled south, where young
Wells was forced to seek employment.
After some time in the South the pair
went to New York, but hardly had Wells
got job before he was discovered by
the Pinkertons and forced to flee. Going
to Boston, he went to work for tie BoS-
ton Gaslight Company. Again the de-
tectives located him. While being booked
Wells said his folks probably would settle
with the bank if they had not already
done so. Pawn tickets for jewelry to the
value of ST 600 were found on him When
Wells left Kenosha it is declared he was
accompanied by a woman from Chicago
and that she was the cause of it ALL

SHOOTS SWEETHEART AND RIVAL
ArabelIa Miller of La Crosse Fatally
Wounded by John Newburg.


Because his sweetheart, Arabella Miller,
daughter of a prosperous farmer, had
gone to a dance with William Heider, his
rival, John Newburg, a young farmer,
waylaid the two at bridge over the La
Crosse river and probably fatally wound
ed the girl and seriously injured young
Heider. Heider was Newburg's rival for
the hand of the young woman and both
had extended invitations to her to attend
a country dance given at West Salem.
Newburg attended the party, and after
dancing with the girl left the hall. He
hired a livery rig and driving to the
bridge tied the horse crosswise of the
bridge and laid in wait for the unsuspect-
ing pair. AS they neared the structure he
sprang into the buggy and fired five shots,
four of which struck the girl and one the
man. Heider whipped up the horse and
in this way escaped.

Most Travelled Woman.

Miss Celeste j. Miller of Chicago Is
probably the most Travelled woman In
the world. For twenty-seven years she
has been "on the wing continuously,
and here is partial record of her
most remarkable travel achievements
Five times has she circled the globe
completely, in addition to almoft in
Vulnerable briefer European AID Asiatic
journeys that would seem long to
less Travelled person. She has visited
every known country and capital In
the world, with practically every group
of islands, however remote, and this,
whenever possible, before the ordinary
tourist route" has been worked out.
The first woman to traverse South
America alone, she crossed the Andes
twice on this trip, covered the entire
region, and made original discoveries
ard explorations. The first woman to
go over the Trans-Siberian Railway, she
Travelled 500 miles in Manchuria in a
mule palanquin, sleeping in Chinese
hotels, visiting the great Chinese wall,
etc. Her first visit to Palestine and
Syria was distinguished by a 50O-mile
ride on an Arab horse. During this
journey she had no tent, passing her
nights in native huts, with sheep herd
erS and SO on. IN Morocco she Travelled
800 miles-on muleback. In Central
America. Newfoundland, etc., she lived
with and studied all manner of queer
people such as the Cheli Indians, MI
bian negroes and Eskimos, it being one
of her unbreakable "travel rules" to
hobnob with the different races met,
and to stay in each country long
enough really to learn something Of its
ways and inhabitants.

A good way to hang a skirt for ones
self is to sew up seams, press nicely,
haste tucks or plaits in place, put on
band, then fold skirt In half and lay
on table and take finished skirt which
hangs correctly and lay over same, put
ting a basting or row of pins around
bottom edge to show where to turn up
new skirt, an easy and satisfactory
way. To put in sleeve correctly, fold
armhole, having center fold come one
inch back of shoulder seam, and where
the half comes join under seam of
sleeve. This always lnsures a perfect
fit.
