 How Residences Are Arranged
 The narrow residential streets of Mon terey run regularly as far as the eye can see, and the various dwellings and places of business, huddled together, give an outward appearance of one structure about 20 feet in height, grimy plastered. At regular intervals one beholds gates. Behind these gates are the homes of the people In the afternoon occasionally the visitor heholds one of these entrances stretched upon it's hinges. Through this opening he sees flowers growing in trop- ical profusion and yards, very small, but well kept and pleasing. At night the gates are locked. The windows have iron grating, through which, at rare inter- vals, the home inmates look upon the streets. In the afternoon the wealthy women appear at the theatre and in the pazas. At this time the strains of music come from every quarter. In the parks, lis tening to the national airs, the people move in circles. The poor mingle freely together in the center. On the outskirts the well dressed women follow each other in a ring while the men, in another and enoircling ring, move in an opposite di- rection.
 Lovers never speak, but as they pass exchange notes. Courtships are pressed not by words or touch, but by covert glances and sighs. At nightfall in Sara gOsSo and Santa Rosa p1azaS the visitors are enthralled by the beauty and pie turesqLeness of the sights. and forced to wander in the ages of the past by the weird and harmonious music and the all most overpowering odor of roses and fruit trees

Wait on your husband yourself;
get out the proper clothes for him
to don each day; smooth over all
the rough places; be sweet when he
is out of humor; laugh when he is
gay; feed before fondling him;
don't say anything when you think
he is wrong-only look it; don't
ask him to walk If he dosn't want
to; be a good cook; save his money.
This is the meat of the first nine.
The last commandment is not to
lose sight of the fact that you are
his superior in more ways than he
is yours, and if you are able to
carry out faithfully the first nine,
you surely will be. Nor will there
be any to deny that distinction,
least of. all your husband.

FIGURES TELL
STRAIGHT TALE
Of Republican Extrav-
gance in State.
AVERY CORRECT SUMMING UP
Of the Matter-What Demo-
cratic Officials Accom-
plished in Office.
FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING

Editor S. w. Hager, who was
State Auditor under the last Dem
ocratic administration in Kentucky,
writing in his paper, the greensboro
Inquirer, says;
Let the taxpayers of Kentucky
regardless of party. study well what
the present Republican administra-
ton has cost them before they vote
to continue the Republican party in
power in Kentucky.
In 1900, the Democrats took
charge of the State Offices. succeed
ing the administration of Gov. Brad
ley and the brief reign of the I'M
speakable Taylor. In that year the
Republicans passed out of control
in Kentucky, leaving the State ST.
100000 in debt. The Democrats
were in control for eight years.
Within that time they paid off the
million-dollar Indebtedness created
by the Republicans; they also ex-
pended 100000 on the new cap
itol, and on January 6, 1908, the
State Offices were again turned over
to the Republicans with $1,013,-
055.72 in the treasury, and all in
debtedness paid to date.
On July 81, 1911, after only
three and one-half years of Repub-
lican rule, there was in the treasury
only 1888, S52.69, with outstand-
ing Understanding warrants
amounting to $1.359,5O2.
In eight years the Democrats
paid a debt of 100000 inherited
from the Bradley administration,
spent $1,00O,OOO on the capitol.
leaving more than $1,O00,O00 in
the treasury, and at that ratio, If
the Democrats had been continued
in power, there would to-day be no
outstanding warrants, and with the
capitol paid for, there would be in
the treasury a big cash balance.
Again add to the $1,013,655.72
in the treasury in 1908, when the
Democrats turned the State Offices
over to the Republicans, the ST.
359,502 which the Republican adj
ministration is now in debt on out
standing warrants, and you have a
total of s2,372.557 Take from
this the $33S,S52.69 in the treas
ury on July 81. 1911, and there re-
mains s2,033, 704,31. the amount
Republican administration has cost
in excess of a Democratic admins
tration in three and one-half years.
The difference is so great that it
pals on the taxpayers, and they
will be slow to vote any more Re-
publican extravaganza upon them
selves.
OF course Wilson's State Board
of Equalization raised the assess
ment on the farms of Kentucky
SOL, 100000. They needed the
money. But what the taxpayers
want to know is why the Repub-
licans need two or three million
dollars more in four years to con-
duet the affairs of the State than is
needed by the Democrats.

Had Speer started the game for Bir- mingham yesterday the Barons might have won.
 It was Speer's time to pitch-and be- cause of that fact. 1t Is reasonable to suppose that Manager Molesworth had some very good reason for sending Wag- ner to the hill.
 Perhaps he had a hunch that Wagner would defeat the hard hitting Lookouts It he did have such hunch, there IS now good reason to believe that lunches sometimes go by contraries.
 + has come to pass that 1t Is the rarest thing in Christendom that the Barons win a series of three games in which both Maxwell and Trough do not ap- pear
 This would tend to indicate that the Barons have but two dependable pitchers. We need five.
 If we were in the place of Rick Wood ward we would get couple of. pitchers, or one at any rate, if 1t was neees- sary to repurchase Mack Robinson, or Smith, or resign Sexton.
 As long as the Barons have an oppor- tunity to finish in the first division, 1t Is very unfortunate that they will run a risk of not doing so simply for the want of pitcher or two.
 And strange to relate. Umpire Colh- flower aided Rudderham in officiating yesterday.
 How could 1t have happened that Coli- flower failed to give Birmingham the victory?
 But as Chattanooga won, 1t Is very probable that there will be no kicks on his work. It Is very probable that cer- tain scribes would have preferred a de- feat with Colliflower up than a victory.
 Poor old Atlanta was dreadfully beaten yesterday The Crackers are playing couple of pitchers in the outfield and another on third base.

 Few Orleans at Nashville. Montgomery at Memphis.

Chattanooga, July 1s.-(Special)- Brains pure and simple and not skill won this afternoons victory for the Bonk outs, over the battering Birming ham Barons, 1 to 8.
 In the eighth inning with one run needed to tie, Molesworth on third and Me Bride on second and two down, ChappelIe purposely walked McGilvray ara Johnston. in his eagerness, bound ed a wide one. forcing Mcbride at third.
 The daring act of allowing free transportation to McGilvray followed after a long consultation between Lis ter. Chappelle. Higgins and Smith, and how effective was the result of their deliberations the final count indicates The fray was a slugging match, but in quality alone for although three home runs were poled during the pro- gross of the festivities the invaders secured but eight bingles. while the Look outs got six.
 Jimmy Johnston was again the stel- lar figure of the invasion in all de partments of the game, Jimmy obtained two of the Barons' markers, stole sec ond in phenomenal style, fielded in spectacular manner and to cap the climax knocked out homer behind the bull in deep left center. The other two tobacco wallops were secured by Moran and Elliott, each polling the ball over the left field fence. Roy's came with a man on the sacks but FL lio.ts. like Johnstons, found the bases unoccoupied.
 Fn he but lasted only five innings, retiring in favor of Speer. The ex-Bison held the locals without a run. thanks to bril- liant support.
 Chappelle, while bumped with regular ity, was steady as a grandfather's clock in the pinches and accentuated his bril- liant defensive work by driving in two of the locals runs through virtue of duo of terrific wallops. The first drive, single, came in the third inning, smash ing the blanks of the left field fence on a line Higgins scored on the smack all the way from first The second clout followed in the fifth and like it's prece- dent struck the fence on a line scoring hejeune from first. Had either of the drives gone to centre or right they would have been clean four seekers.
 The Lookouts' remaining runs came in the fourth on Morans wallop over the left field fence with Northern anchored on the sacks.
 The Barons' first tally came in the second on Johnston's home run drive. In the fifth inning, Elliott's four sacker annexed another. The final marker came in the seventh, MeGilvray drove safely through Lister. Johnston forced the first sacker al second, but repaired the dam age by pilfering.
 Elliott then whiffed but Ellam drove timely to left-center for two sacks, and Johnston scored.
 Al all other stages of the game the Barons were completely under Cap pelles spell except in the eighth when Bell Cord Bill saved his scalp by judici- ously walking McGilvray.

WHAT THE SCRIBES SAY

We are not inaugurating a fight on
 President Kavanaugh; but we do believe
 that the executive owes it ito the league 1 to drop around and watch Colliflower umpire once or twice. It will not take very many games. The trouble may be ! with his head. Not being a physician,
 we have not attempted to diagnose it.
 But there is trouble somewhere.-Chatta-
 nooga Times.
 Don't jump on a team that's down.
 And especially don't when it is down In a considerable measure because of hard luck. If the Cracker team gets all it's players back in the game and then continues to lose. the thing will be in
 applicable. But 1t is pretty easy to see
 why a club Is dropping everything in
 sight when many of it's star players are out of the game.-Atlanta Georgian. Foxen stacks up like another monu- ment to the shrewdness of Cholly Frank as baseball manager.
 It is remarkable how the Dutehman
 resurrects ball players from the scrap heap. He Is never without a live one on his team who was at one time looked
 on as dead one by some other man-
 ager.-New Orleans Item
 Manager Jordan is now hot on the trail of a crack outfielder and utility player and expects to land his man within the next 24 hours.
 Another player is badly needed just now and unless one is secured the club
 can hope for but few victories. The
 team has been shot to pieces by injuries
 and illness, four stars now being on the hospital list.-Atlanta Constitution.
 Mobile Register: Win" Campbell, the real Win with all the stuff of old, did the finging for the Gulls and a casser article of ball was never flung than that he served up. The Barons got but five, scattered hits off his delivery and he would have had an easy shut out but for a wild throw by Shortstop Myers, which allowed the Barons their only TWO runs. Campbell was in but one tight place there after and then his own good judgment
 in running down Moesworth between third and home pulled him out. He flelded his position in brilliant style. having two put outs and five assists, something of record for a pitcher. Campbell's steady thinking always shines, twice yesterday his coolness being displayed. With one out and Moley on third and another on second Ellam hit to Campbell. Moley got a few feet off the bag trying to draw a throw and Campbell stalled him long enough to get between him and the bag and then run him down. Again ball was hit straight at Campbell and he fell going after it. He saw he wouldn't have time to straighten up and throw, so he steadied himself. and threw kneeling, making a perfect tag When right, and he is right again now, Campbell is great little pitcher.
 Montgomery Journal: Every indication now points to the fact that the waning
