poitan. Though many of their farms are we'll
cared for they chiefly cultivated by the
women and children Many tiny tots are to
be seen digging potatoes and working with the
fruit trees. 1t is not unusual to see mothers
carrying loads of grain on their heads and in
fants in their arms.
The women make nearly all the clothes for
the family. Their fare is limited to bread,
macaroni, cheese and port wine There is such
a heavy tax on salt that to these poor peas
ants salt and meat are a luxury reserved for
Sundays and holidays.
The German peasants are the hardest work
ing women in the world. They toll out in the
fields all day long; they do not question their
strength, but do whatever their husbands COM
mand. 1t is not an unusual sight to see wom-
en- thinly clad, hard at work in the binding
rain. No less hard is it for them to work all
day under the burning sun. In southern Ger
many the women cultivate the land way up
the mountains, but their hearts know no fear.
Though these women WORK uncomplainingly,
they enjoy few comforts Their little houses
are almost bare of furnishing. and they are
compelled to wash their clothes in the stream.
Their children are not idle and they help on
the farms before they are half grown. A
German of the middle class takes it for grant
ed that his wife does their housework looks
after the home, ana helps him in his shop.
In a bakery German woman, replying to
the queries of an American woman as to the
work she did, said: You have no idea how
glad you ought to be that you are an American
woman-you have such good times. Look at
me. ! do all my housework take care of my
three children, and am scarcely finished with
my work when my husband says Catherine,

Of these men think that We are as strong as
horses"

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.

been troubled very badly with eczema.
One of them had it on her lower

hear of for her, but it did not give

it became cold the eczema started
again and also in her head where it
would take the hair out and leave
bare patches. At the same time her
arms were sore the whole length OF

The women are forced to earn
living, and so they do whatever they
can put their hands on. They clerk In
small shops and stand in the squares
selling flowers, jewelry and plaster
casts. But competition is so great
and the wares so cheap that many
are forced to earn a living by harder
methods. The narrow streets are
thronged with women carrying in
fants on their arms, hawking their
fruits and flowers. Others trudge
along carrying heavy sacks and great
loads on their backs. Many walk for
miles along the country roads selling
their garden product and the fleece
just shorn from the sheep.
In Rome and Naples more especial
ly the women do most of their work
out of doors. They are usually seated
before their doorways spinning, card
ing and washing the wool. Others are
hard at work making straw baskets
and cording them of rope. Most OF
the poorer homes are without water,
and these women are often compelled
to trudge miles with heavy copper
jars in which they get their water.
They cannot wash their clothes at
home, so they are compelled to use
a stream or fountain.
When work is scarce they rent a
stand near one of the old walls and
sell fish, fruit and baskets. A mother
often has a baby in her arms and
three or four other children playing
about her. The long rows of tene-
ments simply TEEN with human life.
It is not unusual to find families OF
ten or more crowded into one room.
Some of them are so crowded that
the clothes after they are washed
have to be hung out of the windows.
But this poverty and struggle for
livelihood does not mar the sunny dis
position of the Neapolitan. Tired look
ing women are heard singing popular
airs as they trudge home from work.
When a pretty Italian girl finishes
selling her flowers she often starts
out at nightfall carrying a guitar and
serenading strangers, who increase

WHERE THE WOMEN DO THE WORK.

Americans are greatly impressed in visiting
foreign countries to find out how hard foreign
women toll often shoudering more than their

Federation of Labor. He also had petitions from
1000 local labor unions asking that the illiteracy

bigotry.
AS for Samuel Gompers, he born in England,
but his letter, which Mr. Gardner read, letter writ
ten to Representative James E. Watson, showed
conclusivey how the laborng people represented by
Mr.. Gompers felt upon the matter Of the admission
of iterates. The letter follows:
"The organized workers of this country feel that

sideraton.
A New York representative had his sheer
ready when this letter was read in the house.
II would like to ask the gentleman" he said,
eff Mr.. Gompers represents the Mayiower or
those who landed at Jamestown"
The truth of the matter is that the insinua-
ton of the New York man that the old-time
native American element was back of the
movement to bar out illiterates was baseless,
and the house knew it. Curiousiy enough,
perhaps, the strongest opponents of the Hitter
acy clause in the whole land were men who
traced their descent back through the centu-
ries to those first immigrants who founded
the nation in America These men, while
holding that it was the part OF wisdom to
keep out the criminals and the paupers of
Europe, held also that 1t was unAmerican to
bar man because he could neither read nor
write.
The bigotry charge was used solely because
it is an ugly charge and because it hurts.
No man. even though he is as broad as the
sea in his views, ever can clear himself OF
suspicion when the accusation once is made.
1t is not hard therefore, to understand why
the men who are opposed to the immigration
bill used the weapon that they had in hand.
1t may. however, prove useless to them on an
other occasion.

VETERANS ELECT OFFICERS

THAT BOTH WERE RETAINED.

The Confederate veterans held a

er: Capt. J. II. Pulliam, adjutant; Ed

thanked the camp for the honors con.
ferred.
Tho camp opened with prayer by
County Judge l. II. Mason, followed
by song in which all took part.
The program OF music had been ar
ranged by Miss Hanna and some most
excellent numbers were given. Master
George Williams sang a very pleas
ing solo with Miss Hanna at the pi.
ano. The male quartette composed
OF Walters. Brown, Koenig, and Free
man entertained the audience and
was forced 10 respond with another
selection. A duet by Miss Hanna and
Mr. Walters was also a very pleasing
number. \ special session of the

who aided in the program and in
seconding the motion Mr.. Sutherland

her interest in the welfare and eu

AFFECTS CREEK LANDS
OPINION OF VAST IMPORTANCE
HANDED DoWN-LARGE AREA
INVOLVED.

Guthrie, Okla, March lin a
far-reaching decision handed doNn
Saturday which affects the title to
thousands of acres of Indian lands in
the Creek nation, the supreme court
held that August s, 1909, the date
of the proclamation OF the president
making public announcement OF the
ratification of the Creek national
council OF the congressional act OF
June 80, 1902, commonly known as
the Creek supplemental agreement
Is the date the aot became effective
and from which the time must be
computed when the five-year period
would expire before Creek mixed
bloods could sell their surplus al.
lotments.
The case in question was that of
j. y. Baker VS.. Ellis II. Hammett,
h. c. Allen and J. C. Pierson, co-part,
ncrs, trading as the Coweta Realty
company, and the opinion is written
by Justice Dunn, all the justices
concurring. The case is an appeal
from the United States court of the
western district sitting at Muskogee.
The action was brought to cancel Ger.
tain conveyanoes alleged TO be clouds
on the title to lands owned by Creek
mixed bloods, the principal conten.
tion being that the deeds were TAX.
en- before the expiration OF the five.
year limit under the supplemental
agreement before which citizens com.
ing under the act could not sell their
surplus lands. The defendant in error
who secured judgment in the lower
court contended that the act was in
effect Immediately after its passage
which was June 80, 1902.
The lower court is reversed and
the court holds that ded made
August s, 1907, conveys legal title.
