uVvy, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Between the ages of fifteen and forty-fve
the time when womanhood begins and moth
erhood ends, it is estimated that the aggre-
gate term Of woman's suffering is ten years.
Ten years ont of thirty One third OF the
best part of woman's life sacrificed Think
of the enormous loss of timei But time is not
all that is lost. Those years of suffering steal
the bloom from the cheeks, the brightness
from the eyes, the fairness from the form.
They write their record in many crease and
wrinkle. What boon then to woman, 10 DIR.

Few Beds In Baud ad,

About 60 per cent of Bagdad's pop
ulation possess no beds. These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors of their houses In the winter
and on the roofs In the summer. Owing
to the excessive heat of these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than ON the roof or IN the open gar
dens. 1t Is an interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night. Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there IL little to
fear from exposure to the night air
While considerable number of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount OF privacy,
~ far the larger number are quite ex.
posed TO the gaze of curious and In.
Quisitive neighbors.

in Penitentiary

San Francisco. Dec 30.-Abraham Reuf
former political boss of San Francisco.

years in the penitentiary at San Quentin.
The sentence was pronounced by Judge
VIM p. Lawlor who presided over Reufs
trial on the charge Of bribing a member
Of Sehmidt's board Of supervisors in the
award Of an overhead trolley franchise to
the United Railroads The trial. which
ended in the conviction Of Reuf was one
Of the most celebrated in the history Of
the city
Reuf for years directed the political
destinies Of San Francisco, as advisor of
the administration Of Eugene r Schmidt
former mayor Of the city
Judgment was pronounced at the close
Of a day devoted to a legal battle wherein
the defense sought to introduce many
reasons for a new trial When Judge
Rankin had denied this and oihermotious
involving delay, the defendant arose at
the courts command and stood unmoved
through the recital Of the judgment There
was no demonstration on the part Of the
81 tators during the proceedings in the
court room. nor later when Reuf. having
entered the prison van in the custody of
deputy sheriff. started in the dusk on
his long ride to the county jail
Before adjournment Of court. notice of
appeal had been filed on behalf Of the de-
fendant and the court had signed a writ
Of probable cause, which will act as a
stay Of execution in the case.
In the trial that was prolonged through
a period Of nearly four months. Ruef was
convicted Of bribine John ]. Furry. for
mer supervisor. to favor the award Of an
overhead trolley franchise to the United
Railroads. This was one of the indict-
ments returned against him by the Oliver
grand Jury. which heard the confessions
Of sixteen supervisors who admitted the
acceptance Of bribes in several matters
involving public service corporations.
One Of the many incidents that tend to
make the trial Of Ruef remarkable was
the shooting Of Assistant District Attor-
ney Francis J Ileney by Morris Haas, an
ex-convict whose past record was exposed
by the prosecution after Haas had been
accepted as a member Of the Jury in
Ruef's second trial Hans subsequently
committed suicide in The county jail.
