To Rip Van Wrinkle and Others

Dear Household: Ny opinion is that any girl
who is engaged to one boy and is correspond
ing with another and trying to keep the one
she is engaged 10 from knowing IL, is moth
either one. II / were that boy, believe
would loose confidence In such. girl. and break
the engagement She is acting a lie IL she
does not come out and tell IL. and l would see
IL couldn't find truer girl than that for
nv wife. II a girl boy loves enough to
marry. corresponding with anyone else except
the one to whom engaged would be a great
bore. Some OF you may not agree with me,
but hope 1 won't get into a scrap about It.
Come on. Silver Wing. ] agree with you on
keeping children clean. Those that haven
had any experience with them don't know any
thing about the matter. People that haven
any think that IL they did have they would have
them do as grown people But wait until
they have some OF their own and they Will
change their minds.
Children are children and not grownups, 50
let them be children as long as they WILL for
il won't be many years before they Will be
grown and gone to make home OF their own.
I have in mind a lady who before she was
married was always telling somebody how ia
train the baby. She would tell them TO put
II down and let IL cry IL out. but bless your
life. she don't let hers do IT, She has a
Tad little fellow that has cried all Of his life
and her theories have not been used. But
she has quit telling people how TO raise
dren Sometimes & tnIuE II was judgment
sent on her. for being bossy. ! wonder
where Mr.. Bach IS. but guess he is hidden some
cream vest. lie certainly has some hard
times with those motley-fac Kids.
hope he won't call my family unexpect-
edIy. for fear he might catch the baby In
the washpot. washing is her chief delight.
Wishing Miss Thomas q long and happy life,

$4,000, 900 WORTH OF
DIAMONDS IMPORTED

NEW YORK. May H.-Diamonds ana
other precious stones to the value OF $40
Ooo, 200 have been brought into New York
during the last ten months. according to
statistics g3ven out By thu United States
appraisers stores. During the present
month, the importation OF Jewels is ex-
pected to be increased by fully 100000
more In June Il is likely that this
sum WIN be duplicated. so that the aggre-.
gate for the year will be $44O0o.oo0, an
amount exceeding the biggest record
heretofore by 100000.
Importers regard these imports as sig
nificant OF improved business conditions.
They say the diamond trade Is always
the last to feel the upward trend OF bust
ness conditions.
The heaviest previous years were 1906.
when imports valued at al 10000 were
received, and 1907, when the total entries
were valued at $4o,2O0ooo.

FOOD PRICES INCREASE
I'M STATE OF TEXAS

CHICAGO, May A.-That there has
been vast increase in prices Of food
products in Texas in everything but rice,
was brought out yesterday in the federal
arbitration hearing here OF the wages
dispute between 49 western railroads and
their 1900 locomotive firemen-
Fred Barr, of San Antonio, general
chairman OF the grievance committee of
firemen employed by the Southern Pa
cific Railway company, was asked by
Attorney John Barton Payne why the
firemen do not turn to rice.
Because Texas cooks have not been
educated in preparing It," was Barr's
answer.
Mr.. Barr testified that on the Southern
Pacific lines f1remen now work more
hours for less pay than in 1907. and that
they also have to work harder because
of heavier trains.
