FARMS FOR WOMEN.
Plan to Solve Problem of Unemployed
Spinsters and Widows.

Boston, April 5.-Prominent bust
ness and professional women in Bos-
ton have organized the women s
homestead association with a view to
the 100000 surplus spinsters and wild
ows in the state of Massa chusetts. The
association proposes to enlist the aid
of the state in purchasing small tracts
of land near the larger cities on which
women may engage in agricultural
enterprises.
1t is pointed out that women could
raise with profit flowers, strawberries,
vegetables, squads, pigs. chickens and
bees if the state would only provide
cheap and comfortable homes on the
property. Several philanthropists are
willing to buy the land and give the
state a mortgage upon it under the
foregoing conditions.

JOLT FOR BONI.
An Heir to the House of Sagan Is Ex-
pected Before Long.

Chicago, April 5.-The Record
Herald today, in a special cable from
Paris, says:
"a bombshell that will shatter all
the financial hopes of Count Boni de
Castellane is contained in the news
that the Princess de Sagan expects
the arrival of new heir to the De Sa-
gan name and the Gould millions
some time in June or July. The arri-
val of the De Sagan heir will give
Anna Gould the whip hand over Boni.
"By her fathers will the Princess is
permitted to leave her fortune to any
child or children she might have. This
places her in the position of being
able to hold Boni's children's future
inheritance welfare over his head to
whip him into less warlike frame of
mind.
SHOULD Boni persist in his efforts
to estranges the children from their
mother. and embitter them against
De Sagan it is in her power to cut off
the De Castellane children for the
benefit of the coming heir of the De
Sagans"

The state asks for a writ of mandamus,
which was denied by the lower court,
to compel the school board to hold an
other meeting and agree to select the
cheaper and more satisfactory tract of
ground for the new school house for
the Kinsley district.
From Hugh FarrelIey's town of
Chanute comes the word that Taylor
Riddle, the real and original financial
agent of the Democratic party for
many years. has started the work of
gathering up the real coin to start the
Democratic weekly paper at Topeka.
He expects to spend about month at
this work and in that time hopes to
have the full authorized capital of the
proposed corporation subscribed.
The total capital is to be $4,000. A
part of this has already been subscrib-
ed by the twenty-one Democrats
chosen as. directors, but it is the in
tention to have all the capital sub
scribed before the paper starts.
1t is believed by Mr.. Riddle that he
can get the capital in a month. Then
it will require another month to get
the corporation fully organized and in
working order so that it is hardly to
be expected that the first issue of the
paper will be before June and possibly
later than that time.

SMASHING RECORDS.
Los Angeles Aqueduct Engineers Set
ting New Marks for the World.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 5.--Aque-
duct engineers and miners have added
to their laurels for rapid construction
by what they believed is the Ameri-
can thirty-one day tunnel record for
boring excavation in hard rock with
two shifts at work. Twice in success
sion the American three-shift record
has been broken on the Elizabeth tun-
mel and now the new honors go to the
men at work on the Jawbone division
1S miles north of Mojave. In March
forces at work under the direction of
superintendent L. s. Preston made a
total distance of $40 feet on each of
the tunnels.
At the south portal of the Elizabeth
tunnel the 81 day record was snatched
from the engineers of the govern
ment's Gunnison tunnel in October,
1908, by a run of 466 feet which was
sixteen fee. better than the record
Last month at the same place Superin-
tendent w. c. Aston and his men again
eclipsed their own record by ten feet
Between five and six miles of tunnel
has been excavated on the Jawbone
since work began last October.

Guards the Imperial Court Against
Feminine undesrables.
There is at Kaiser Wilhelm Berlin
palace an Oherhofmeisterin, lady
who has been described as a court
chamberlain in petticoats, who has to
make personal acquaintance with
every lady before she attends court.
A ball at the Berlin court is an
affair Of much ceremony, but curious
to say. there are no cloak rooms in
the palace and all wraps have to. be
left in their owners carriages.
The imperial couple do not dance,
but they watch with interest the
pirouetting OF their subjects in the
waltz, and they delight in the grace
ful ninuet dancing for which there
has been a furore in Berlin these two
seasons past.
The courts in Berlin are conducted
with even more state than in England,
says the Gentlewoman. The ladies
wear mo trains, lit, is true, to their
court. frocks, but it is expected Of
them to spend lavishly on their
clothes. to don magnificent jewels
and never by any chance to wear
black. and black, by sthe way, is also
disallowed at ST. Petersburg. At a
Berlin they have an odd way Of sep
arating the married women and girls.

RIGHTS OF a POOR MAN.
Must He Divide With His Wife or
Keen AII7

Must He Divide With His Wife or
Keep All?
Since two learned jurists in the
same court in the largest city in the
country have disagreed as to whether
man earning only Sc week should
be compelled by law to support his
wife," remarked Jefferson Faulkner
OF Toledo, Ohio, to New York Tele-
gram reporter. Il think it would be in
teresting to submit the delicate cues
ton to one of our higher courts.
The jurist who holds that a man
earning no more than that should not
be compelled to support wife, even
though he has solemnly agreed to-,
does not appear to have taken the
popular end of the question.
1T is not likely that Mr.. Roosevelt,
in his widest rawlings about race sui
eide, would advocate a gentleman
marrying on Sc per week and endeay-
orlng to support wife and family.
AT the same time there are doubt
less many thousands of married men
In New York who have not earned Sc
every week during the last year, and
it is most creditable to them and to
their poor wives that you have not
had more men in this class before the
courts for non-support.
The girl or woman who is willing
to struggle along with a man who
earns only Sc week is heroine, and
she certainly deserves as much protec-
ton as the lady who goes to court and
screams for more than $4,000 a year
alimony."

When 1t was time to get up he was

and body. He was quite content to
lie still and listen to the familiar
sounds that had gone on repeating
themselves since he was boy. Now
and then he felt as though he were a
boy still, and all that had happened
in later years was but confused and
painful dream.
About 8 O'Clock he fell asleep, and
slept on until noon. Then he got up
and dressed himself and stole silent

comfortable with cushions.

That he might win her for his wife
