I'VE tried 1t for about ten years..
during which time constant process
sion OF servants, each worse than tina
other, passed through our house, and
where there was never a meal on
time, nor one cooked that 1t wouldn't

OF course, there is nothing so ex-

Finally, / said to myself one dag

A Tin on Oats.


According to the Saturday Evening
Post, man who had country place
on Long Island came to New York
one morning TO do little Dpeculating
He was a great believer in tips.
On the ferryboat 1t came to him
that he had had somehow a tip on
oats. He couldn't remember just what
1t was. but somebody had told him to
buy oats. So when he reached his
brokers' Office he looked into oats bit
and bought some. Oats were active
He pyramided skillfully and by the
close of the market was $1,000 ahead
OF course such luck as that had to
be celebrated, and it was. AS the cele-
bration went on the oats buyer told the
story several times and each time took
on Importance in the recital as an oats
buyer until he finally became the oats
king. He reached his railroad station
somewhat late and found the stable
man waiting for him with trap.
"By the way" said the stableman.
did you remember to order that five
bushels of oats asked you to buy this
morning"

Slave or Free

"A young woman VINO was 1ntrouble
with the police the other day happen
ed to be unusually pretty and unus-
ually well educated, as far as the
education which comes in books goes.
So she was interviewed by every
newspaper in town and to every Dewr-
paper in town she told the sx7sa
increditable amazing story.
She said that she was girl OF
good family, dependent upon her
self for a living. She was a com
petent stenographer and made de-
cent living salary.
Bat" said this young person, Il
was sick and tired of being a slnTe--
a wage Garner, so deliberately wenn
into this sort of life."
And several of the newspapers
thereupon took occasion to WAX ssen>
timental over the young person anS
her desperate attempt to escape frCE
slavery.
Escape from slavery! Why 1ix
poor thing never knew what slavery
was until she threw away her honest
name and went down into the hrS-
rible slavery of vice.
Her name isn't her own now. II
belongs to the police. She's suspS
cious character and can be arrested
anywhere, anytime, on any pretext,
and thrown into pen with the eaf-
casts of humanity and she has no Hs-'
dress of any kind.
Ten, hAp IND
isn't her own. Her poor wretcbed
body does not belong to her NOW
Why even the clothes on her bach
are bought and paid for by the Trst-'
elest kind Of slave driver. A slave
driver who will make her pay in ag-
ony and in humiliation and in team
for every thread she wears.
Slavery! Why the. man in the
chain gang is as free as air compared
to this poor slave of her own folly
A slave was she when she workeF
honestly for an honest living. Well,
then, who is free?
The mother with her little brood
clinging to her skirts?
The wife who cannot go from one
place to another without asking her
husband?
The society leader who hasn't an
hour to call her own within the
twenty-four.
Slavery! Why If work and re-
sponsibility be slavery, no decent,
honorable human being is free or ev-
er will be.
Who are these daughters OF lux
ury who imagine that they can es-
cape the common fate of common hr-
mainly?
Does stenographer's tooth ache
any harder than the tooth of this wo-
man who dares to try believe herself
free ;her license, liberty?
Is it any easier to grow old with
the scorn Of the world to face than
it is to slip into the meridian OF life
with the respect of your little circle
and the love Of your few devoted
friends?
Who are you, poor, foolish little
thing, that you could not bear to
work for a living like the rest OF
the honest women in the world?
A wage slave! I hate that Ell
preston. A wage free woman. Thai
suits me better.

Commander Sims
Is Called Upon to
Repeat a Speech
Secretary Meyer Wants to Know if
Naval Officers Pledged Uncle
Sans Support to England.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.--(special Tele-
gram. )-Commande william $. Sims, com
handing officer OF the Battleship, Mime
sofa, OF the Atlantic fleet has been asked
by Secretary of the Navy Meyer for copy
Of his speech delivered at Guildhall, Lon
don, December 3, last when the officers
and men Of the battleship fleet were en-
tertained by the lord mayor and city Of
London. In press reports Of his speech at
the banquet, Commander Sims was quoted
as saying that he believed that IL the
time ever came that the British empire
was menaced by an external enemy, the
English might count upon assistance from
the United States.
Secretary Meyer is anxious to find out
whether or not Commander Sims actually
made this statement before taking further
action.
Commander Sims was the naval aide at
the White House under former President
Roosevelt. At that time he served in the
Navy department as inspector of target
practice. He was a prominent member Of
the coterle of officers who. several years
ago, became prominent through their criti-
cisms of the alleged structural defects Of
battleships.

ELECTION COMES

seem TO show that the popular mind has
not been made up decisively on the great
questions at issue. The eiections have
aroused the greatest interest and It Is
almost impossible for you over here to COM
prehend how much, but that they have
settled anything remains to be seen.
Home rule remains a question Of much
uncertainty and the problem Is economic
rather than political. II has been pointed
out that the expenses OF the Irish admins
tration amount to sl1,OOO,OOO more than the
total Irish revenue accruing TO the crown.
Therefore, when the time comes for Ire
land to conduct it's own administration the
question OF finance viii be a puzzling one.
The British taxpayer must dig deep into
his rockets II the new regime is to start
under anything like favorable auspices, and
the British taxpayer may be averse to
dOing anything OF the sort.
Mind you. ! am not saying anything
for or against home rule, but pointing out
that when the time comes to pass a bill
establishing It, the questions OF admins
trative and financial detail will probably
provoke more OF a fight than the question
OF home rule itself.
The feeling on home rule Is not 50 in
tense as it was before the land act went
into effect Even the nationalist leaders
sec that under imperial administration the
people Of ireland have been buying the land
from the landlords under conditions far
more favorable than would have been pos
sible under home rule, for the imperial
credit would not have been behind the
financing.
But separate Parliament Is not the
great neeG Of ireland. The Irish problem
as l have said before, is how 20 make a
country prosper which Is dependent. or
nearly 50 at least, on agriculture, whose
people are not farmers They can become
good farmers, but they are not Euch now
and even in America they have not taken
20 tho soil, so far as / have observed"

The annual report, which was presented

dealings that amount to about $4,000 a
year in income and disbursements. A new

Mrs. Moeller and
Daughter Injured
By Auto Driver
Machine Crashes Into Buggy, Throws
Out Occupants and Causes
Runaway.

Mrs. F. c. Moelier and her daughter, 1t
years old, were thrown from q buggy and
seriously injured by q large automobile
which struck the vehicle and demolished It
on the Florence boulevard last evening.
The accident occurred in front of the resi-
dence Of w. /. Kierstead, near Fowler
avenue
The automobile was occupied by two
Unidentified men. When II struck the
buggy the horses attached to the latter
broke loose and ran away. The machine
came to a stop and the man at the wheel
told spectators who crowded threateningiy
about him that his name was J. G. Smith,
1885 North Twenty-eighth street. He then
offered to take the injured mother and
daughter to their home, explaining he
would have TO try the machine to see II 1t
had not been rendered useless.
Before those who stood near knew what
was happening. the stranger started his
machine on the trial run, saying he was
going to the corner and would turn back
Instead OF returning he speeded up and
disappeared.
Mrs. Moeller and Miss Moeller were
taken to the Klerstead home, later taking
car to Florence, where they obtained a
conveyance to go to their home two miles
west of Calhoun, The runaway horses
were caught in Florence. The name the
autoist had given was later discovered to
be fictitious.
