Every wife should be a helpmate to
her husband. For instance, if you have
the pleasures of a large washing before
YOU and he has the laborous task of
going to the city, or taking trip
through the country, change work with
him; let him help you wash in the
forenoon and you help him ride in the
afternoon. A good wife will deny hel
self to entertain her husband, especially
on wash day But some men will say
when l come to that Ill hire it done
but, as to coming down to help a wo-
man, my dear sir, who created you SC
far above a woman that you have to
condescend to come down?

FRENCH AVIATOR KILLED.
Wing of Aeroplane Breaks and De lie
Grange Falls to Death.

Bordeaux, France.-LeOn de la
Grange, the French aviator, whose
achievements during the last two years
had won for him high place among
those who have set out to conquer the
air, was instantly killed here while
making a flight in the presence of a
great crowd of spectators.
strong uncertain wind prevailed,
but with characteristic daring De la
Grange faced it in the same mono
plane in which he made a record of 53
miles an hour at the Doncaster meet
ing last October.
He circled the aerOdrOme, seeming
to have his machine under good con-
troll and yet at times it heeled dan
gerously to the wind. On the third
round, when at a height of between 60
and 20 feet, he increased his speed.
He swung wide at the turns, but at
the lower end of the aerOdrOme he at
tempted to describe a sharp curve.
The machine was seen to sway. The
left wing was broken and the right
wing Immediately collapsed The
aeroplane came plunging to the earth,
and it turned half over as it fell with
the aviator clinging to the seat In
his way it crashed to the ground, with
De la Grange beneath, the heavy mo-
.or crushing out his life.

In 1874 he rendered a great serv-

Grant as president of the United
States and the school histories tell
Young America that one of the no.

his veto, in 1874, of what was popu-

the inside history of this famous veto
has escaped chronicling until now.

years head of the New York clearing

in possession of all the facts connect

Leaders Of the Confederacy Then First

When did the leaders Of the con-
federacy first realize that their at

doomed to failure? That is a ques-
ton that has always interested stu
dents of our civil war and one which
has been variously answered by not
a few confederate leaders themselves.

defending his father the night Lin

swers were widely varied and all OF
them were interesting, but ! think

treasury for the confederacy from
June of "a on. and who, before then,
ran past our blockade a lot of much

Il said to Mr.. Trenholm one day,
after we had come to know each other
as friends, following his pardon by
President Johnson and release from
prison: I would like to know just

of the success of the confederate

ST Paul, Minn.-No direct, but
some indirect criticism of the man.
agement of the state fair, is contained
in the report of the examination just
made by Public Examiner Anton
Schaefer. The report is volumin-
Gus affair, covering over so typewrlt-
ten pages. It states conditions at
the manner in which money is ex-
pended, tables of expenditures, touch
es on the matter of passes, ~insinu-
atingly refers to the expense account
of John J. Furlong for special work
quoting the words special work. and
report or explanation is made of the
character of the special work"
Public Examiner Schaefer's report,
being made to the governor, can be
used by the next executive as the
basis of recommendation to the leg
islature, if he SO chooses. In view
of the coming election of officers Of
the state fair board, it will attract
more than usual attention. The pub
lie examiner expressly states that
all accounts are correct, but he dwells
with a special emphasis on the mat
ter of expense occaunts, SO much so
that it is clear that he intends the ex-
penditures do not appeal to him as
entirely proper, although he expressly
refrains from saying so.
Pafare RI HCpeeiaI MARI
Relative to the special work for
which John j. Furlong was paid $3.50,
it is understood that its character was
in presenting the needs of the state
fair to the legislature. The employ
ment commenced January 10, and
ceased after the adjournment of the
law makers.
Mr. Schaefer also dwells upon the
fact that Mr.. Furlong took Earle c..
May with him to Seattle, at an ex-
pense of $210.55. He also calls at
tention to the fact that the trip was
not authorized until after the return
of Mr.. Furlong and of Mr.. May.
Schaefer Makes Recommended atoms.
He advises that the legislature
should fix salaries, and either elm
mate or provide for the expense Of
ne board of managers, abolish passes
or establish limitations, regulate Wis
its to other fairs, provide a contingent
fund which should not be exceeded
under penalty, provide for the han
ding of the receipts and disburse-

urer, and that sub-vouchers should be
required for all expenditures of over
