CLEANED IDEAS FOR OUR WOMEN

The Country Contributor" to the Ladies Home
journal says used to thinking of woman's
influence refining, her presence as ennobling, her
character pure and her nature nnately virtuous:
This idea Of woman's enabling influence has so
crown upon women that in many instances it has
blinded them to terrible faults. 7!Zaax,, zlS.H~.!
James Whitcomb Riley illustrates this sin in
women when he tells OF Mylo Jones' wife who be-
Asved that she was preserving inexorable stand
ard of right and drove her husband to find peace
living in the barn with "Old Kate" the balky mare.
There is a medium gait in house keeping; many
excellent house-keeper is very poor home-keeper.
TO bend every energy to accomplish idea of neat
ness means too often that children will starve
tally and morally but there are two s,dss to the
|'sssaef: there sFs. many wotusn~w vss=xbsss
poor spritless housekeeping has fostered III their
children alarmingly common tastes.
There are thousands Of women who do their
work in a poor way, year in and year out who pose
as being put upon by Fate and longing all the
time for higher things. A wise saying ia BLESSED
be drudgery" actually there is nothing in heaven
or earth higher more enabling than scrubbing the
kitchen table II t needs It and one II able to do it.
Never imagine when wife leaves greasy table
~ some other needed task and runs away to book,
the piano. her embroidery that it is because she
has naturally inner tastes than the woman who
scrubs and cleans The truth of the matter is she is
laky or perhaps an invalid.
The lowest women in the world lazy that
they refuse to work and sell themselves for person
n ease and luxury. a.
1t is trite saying that nobody works 80 hard as
he who works badly. This particularly applies to
the poor house keeper She is always tired, usually
worried and sometimes she declares her husband
into thinking she is Industrious by monkeying with
the chores and leaving her work undone
A woman's work is the house work and every
we'll woman should attend to it carefully. She can
strike happy medium not being so fnicky about
neatness and order that she is disagreeabe nor
yet SO much Of Staten that things are annoyngly
dirty .rn~..5..-. ..-y~.~.~. . ...

pre.,4sat TAFT signed the Payne tarn bill.

Presiaent Taft signed the Payne tariff bill,
which had been considered by congress for several
months. The president realized that the bill was
not just what the people wanted for that would be
impossible, TO give the people of the different To-
calities, bill that suited them perfectly The tar
i'll on some things was revised upwards The
chances are that when the tariff bill has been an
alyzed thoroly by tariff expert it will be found
that the average the tarin has not been lowered
and many fear that it will show an increase in
stead of decrease. This is disappointing to the
people of the middle west, who believe that the
cost Of living is high enough rrue, hides were
placed on the free list, and will be able to buy
our shoes cheaper. after time But then, the tar
i'll was raised stockings, and rs most Of us wear
socks when have the meney to buy them, the
decrease Tor foot wear will hardly be aeicsabe
TIE Independent sincerely regrets that the tariff bill
was not made satisfactory to the people of the
middle west The Republican leaders and their
followers will doubt try to explain to the people
that they have given them first class tariff bill.
and it not for the fact that the Democrats are
AZ much to blame as the Republicans for this BILL
there might have been danger of sweeping Demo
crat victory at the next : leral election. We are
all going to continue to do business and raise mag
nifcent crops in North Dakota anyway, but as long
as the people demanded a different tariff bill from
that which they received, there is likely to be con-
siderable feeling over the matter. -""' EY,4'

.RVERSIDES HAVE
TWO FAST GAMES
(By w. Tin Chong.

For the first time in the three or
more years of my connection with the
Riverside League, has Aala Park been
as dead as yesterday afternoon, when
to the surprise of nearly every fan that
remained with the old standbys, there
was not more than two score OF the
four or five thousand people who usual
ly attend at that popular grounds every
Sunday when base ball is being played.
iOf course everybody knows just what
kept the crowd away, and it is not
necessary for me to go into any discus
sion about it,
Notwithstanding the wee crowd
there was some real good, classy ball
seen and it may be well to say that
all those who were lucky enough to be
present, were more than pleased with
the two snappy games. the first big
game was between the Fort Skaters
and the Portuguese team Of Kewarc.
The soldiers played good game and
their Improvement was clearly noticed,
1t is learned by the way, that a new
man has taken the management of this
team in the person of Lieut.. G. C..
Bowen, a gentleman VINO is as pleasant
to talk to as il is to watch him coach
ing his team to victor". The captaincy
has also changed hands and hereafter,
Strauss, an~ all-round player of this
aggregation will act as captain in place
of Mccall.
SHAFTER VS. .KEWALOS.
From start to end, the soldiers were
able to keep leading and after closely
contested game, they finally won by
the score of to 2. Mccall started
well by being safe on an error of Souza,
who threw wild to first and Mccall
nailed on second base. Not being
satisfied with this, he attempted to
swipe third, but was promptly put out
by Souza, who had just recovered from
his excitement. Then both Lemm and
Ellis singled and Strauss was safe
on an error of the first baseman, while
Lemm took advantage of this and
romped, Ellis reached third and
STRAUSS went to second. Joseph allow
ed one BAH to pass him and Ellis scor-
ed Strauss tried to make third and
was put out, while Santen kept on fam
ming the air.
In the third, the soldiers scored an
other run Mccall flew out to Freitas,
but Lemm received transportation to
first and stole second Ellis famed,
