Women Workers.

II is desirable that women OF all
classes OF society should work. and
as in the poor households the wages
OF the husband do not suffice 20 all
the common needs. We must resign
ourselves TO see the women add TO
their absorbing household cares in
dustrial occupations in order to exc
out the all too small earnings OF the
head Of the household.-Jules Simon,

declaration of Captain Parker given
at the head Of this article.
On a hill near by is an old belfry,
shown in the illustration here given.
When the old Lexington meeting
house was built there was found to be
no place for the bell, so a separate
befry was erected, and it was from
this tower that warning was given to
the villagers of the approach of the
British on that eventful April morn
ing.
To the citizens Of Lexington be-
longs the honor OF erecting the first
Revolutionary soldiers monument,
and under it's granite base repose the
remains of the men who gave their
lives in resistance to British tyranny.
The monument was unveiled in 1893,
and stands within a stones throw Of
the Minute Men boulder.
April 19 is a legal holiday in the
State OF Massachusetts,, and is known
as Patriots Day. Why should this
momentous event retain merely
local significance? It's consequences
affected every one Of the colonies, and
the causes which led up to it were
the common burdens of the whole
people.
That sacred spot Of ground is,
therefore, the joint heritage Of all
American freemen.
The editor of the Bee Hive regard
ed it as one Of the greatest privileges
OF his life to visit. a few months
since, the Old Granary burying
ground in the heart Of Boston, where
Paul Revere is buried. We visited
also the Old North Church, so closely
related to the story OF Revere There
are the tall pews, the high reading
desk and the old lantern tower. The
same sweet bells still call the wor-
| shippers TO service. And what a thrill
| OF patriotism we felt as we stood on
the battle-ground at Lexington. where
the 1875 brave men struck the first
blow for American liberty. The Lex
| ingtou Historical Society is doing
| much to preserve the relics and keep
! sacred the memory Of those men.
Another interesting relic is the old
| Clark house, where Hancock and
Adams were sleeping when Paul Re-
we're rode into Lexington. The build
ing was erected in 1899. 1t is open
to the public and there may be seen
the bed in which these two patriots
were sleeping, the old kitchen, the
quaint cooking utensils and a drum
which was used on the battlefield.
American freemen will never cease
10 cherish the names and deeds OF
these early heroes. The Bee Hive.

were no dwellings near save a small

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lottie Williams.

My Tomboy Girl" the American mu- sical comedy drama spectacle by Charles E. Blaney, with that little queen of com ediennes, Miss Lottie Williams, in the leading role, will be presented at the Bljou all this week with the usual mat inees.
 The supporting company will include 50 people. It was a lucky inspiration that led MT. Blaney to the exploitation of My Tomboy Girl'' as the play is a TO- mantle novelty drama of life in the north and south. The leading role for Miss Williams is a masterful combination of thrilling dramatic action, sparkling wit and sweet and entrancing melodies. They are all blended so naturally and with so much realism that the feeling of sym pathy and emotions of delight are aroused to a degree that compels the audience to believe that 1t is witnessing scenes from real life, rather than mere stage pictures. It Is said to be not play of fiimsy construction intended to amuse for the moment, but a play of real merit and one that teaches a val uable lesson. There are four acts and the scenes number ten.a They are replete with dramatic situations and telling lines. The romance which the play unfolds is described as irresistible and appealing. It finds the way to the heart and sinks there. It enlsts the sympathies and re- tains them to the final fall of the cur tain. A score of original musical fea- lures, beautiful incidental music, splen- did ohoruses and bright solos have been composed and arranged expressly for the play.
 There will be no performance at the Bijou on Good Friday, as it is the cus- tom of Jake Wells to close all his thea tres on that day. There will be two per formances on Saturday-matinee and night.
