National Congress Delegates
Hear of Duties of Far
mer's Wife.

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 29.-Women
took an important part in the conser-
walton congress. Mrs. Har-
riet Wallace Ashby. of Des Moines,
gave perhaps the most interesting adj
dress on THE Farmers Wife"
One of the most vital problems with
which the farmers wife has to do is
how to shorten the farmers work day.
The practice of working from sun up
to nightfall and afterward doing the
chores is driving the boys from the
farm. If all the farmers in a neigh
borhood would quit work in time for a
6 o'clock supper, long stride would
be taken toward making the farm
home an ideal home.
Most business mems work closes
with the day, but how about the farm
er and his family?
When townspeople are at leisure our
husbands and sons are milking the
COWS, bedding the horses and doing
the rest of the chores. They wear
overalls so many hours of the week
that they are not entirely at ease in
other clothes. They are too tired to
keep up their interest in the outside
world, frequently falling to sleep over
a newspaper. Indeed, to bed is about
the only place this exhausted man of
the early evening is fit to go, for
tired man is not social creature.
Washing dishes after late supper,
with a nodding husband in the next
room and your nearest neighbor from
quarter of a mile to a mile away
does not foster love for the farm. 1t
need not be wondered at that We are
insisting that the farm day must be
shortened, and some time given to
the development of the mental and
spiritual, as we'll as the physical side
of the family.
Through the united efforts of the
women the farmer is going to think
less of his taxes and more of his
schools; he is going to be one of an
army of country men united to secure
conservation of the soil through long
er leases, conservation of the child
through better educational facilities;
conservation of the wife through the
relaxation of meeting those OF her
own sex, and shall | not add, con-
servation of the few hard-earned dol
lars in the purse by parcels post
The farmers wife, in order to con,
serve to the fullest extent the best in
terests of the farm, must be filled with
the conviction that farming is the
most honorable and most worthy of a
Of nnrSIit and

eral movement in which the United
States, New York state, and Canadian
government have Joined with indus
trial concerns at Niagara Falls, is
bringing about decided change in the
surroundings of the great cataract.
Acting on the recommendation of the
governments, the large power COM
panies are decorating the shores with
lawns and shrubbery, making NINA
ture parks of their grounds, and de-
signing their buildings to fit in with
the National reservation scheme.
In recent years a nest of old fac
tory buildings, on the American side
OF the gorge, just north OF the steel
arch bridge, has been the chief offense
to the eyes of the visitors. These fac
tories used water power on small
scale long before the modern methods
of power production were dreamed Of,
and they We're put up purely for utiii-
tartan purposes, with no thought OF
the effect upon the scenery. Now sew
eral of them have been bought out and
marked for destruction by one of the
power companies, and more are to fol-

The stretch of land on the Canadian
side of the Falls is a reservation call
ed Queen Victoria park. Nothing that
landscape architects and gardeners
could do to make the place beautiful
has been left undone. Through the
cooperation of the government and
the company which operates on that
side of the Falls, the commercial build
ings in or near the park have been
made to look like art buildings or IL
braries, massive and dignified. The
efforts to make them harmonic with
the surroundings have been so success
full that many tourists do not discover
| until they step inside that the build
ings contain water-gates, turbines,
electric generators and business Off
ces.
The only structure that can be seen
| in the gorge from the American side is
one whose walls have been built to re-
semble the natural rugged cliff. The
masonry has weathered now, taking
on almost the exact shade of the sur
| rounding rocks, so that it is often
overlooked unless pointed out by the
guides.

Capacity houses at every performance
have greeted these favorites who are
we'll worthy of the credit accorded
them.
The first part, with the setting in
Japan, is a most beautiful setting. 1t
can easily be seen that much time and
money have been spent in order to
make this part complete success.
Several of the latest song successes
are introduced during this part of the
performance, Tom Powell singing Al
eXander's Big Time Band, having
made quite hit. The end men. Tom
Powell and Dick Duffy are both very

"The Rosary"


How many homes in this city are
gradually being wrecked through the
husband not approaching the true hon
est and SINGER love of a good wife?
How many husbands in this city are
imbued with the spirit of atheism
while their wives, women of serious
conviction regarding faith in the
things of life unseen, sacrificing the
unequalled love Of true, honest and
sincere creatures? These are two of
the questions that are forcibly brought
to the attention of all who witnes a
performance of The Rosary" which
is coming to the gennett Saturday
matinee and night.
The play treats of great and pow
erful subject graphically and in such
way as to grip the attention every
minute. 1.-The Rosary" is built upon
thoroughly modern theme, showing
the influence of thought upon the lives
and well being of the men and women
of the present day. Theories have
sprung from this theme that have en-
gagged the serious attention OF the fore
most psychologists, but it's portrayal
upon the stage has been neglected pre-
vious to Edward f. Roses conception
of the necessity of such play for the
American public.
"The Rosary" deals with the lives
and fortunes of a little group of peo-
pie living in the beautiful West Ches-
ter country near New York city. The
husband is a disbeliever in all reli
gion; his wife woman of serious con-
viction regarding faith in the things
of life unseen. Strong in his belief
and thoroughly human, priest moves
through the subtle story of this play.
When doubt comes and the man and
woman's lives are shattered seemingly
beyond human power to repair, this
priest analyses the situation and by
the power of his faith brings both the
people, whom he loves, back to happi-
ness. Mingled with the darker colors
of human tragedy is vein of natural
which occur during the action. In the
fourth act, during the scene in the cha
pei of the church, which has been
presented to FIR. Kelly by his former
pupil, Bruce Wilton, The Rosary" is
sung. The stage settings are unique
in their way; the first act occurs in
a wonderfully beautiful grape arbor,
the second and third acts are laid in a
charming interior. showing the atmos-
phere of seren home life while the
fourth act is the new church.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Snare,

The thoroughfare was narrow and
dark in places, but at that point the
CLEAN of a street lamp not many yards
distant cast an uncertain glimmer on
surrounding objects. Through fine
slanting rain, almost mist, that mad
begun to fall, the wavering light re-
vealed for an instant two figures who
had now stopped in doorway across
the street and a little aside from
Ting's modest establishment. Then,
having lent grudging visibility to them
and the immediate environment, the
glow suddenly sputtered and nearly
went out, but seeming to reconsider
it's threatening intention of plunging
that section of the thoroughfare into
total gloom, fiared up once more and
showed another person. roughly dress
ed, coming around a corner and ap-
preaching at a quick, shambling gait.
This third man paused at the sight
of the two men in the semi-shelter Of
the doorway; one of the latter who
held a cigar that gfowed like tiny
coal, spoke to the newcomer with
sharp, imperative inquiry.
Hes gone into the restaurant" re-
piled the third person, "and he's there
now. unless" He broke off. There's
a back entrance from that place into
this shop" he added abruptly, nodding
toward Ting's door. And maybe he's
made use of it and is in there"

order; the man at once turned and
walked hastily back the way he had
come. Caglionis eyes followed him.

WAS LAW WEST OF THE PEcos.
Unique Character Everything From
Saloon Keeper to Judge.

II old Judge Roy Bean should come
back to Langtry in the flesh he would
not know the clean, modern little city
as the same town in which he gave
vent to the eccentricities that won him
wide renown and placed Langtry on
the map.
Much that was pure fiction has been
written of Judge Roy Bean, but when
all this has been sifted out enough re-
mains to stamp the judge as one Of
the most picturesque characters the
great southwest has ever produced.
Roy Bean was a Kentuckian. When
he was about Is years of age he EN-
barked on a Mississippi river steam
boat for New Orleans, but becoming
involved in a fight on the boat he de-
cided to go to Texas, at that time
wild, free land. So he went to San
Antonio and conducted a dairy for
some time. When the gold rush OF
1S49 and 1850 was attracting the ven-
turesome to California Bean went with
party from Texas.
While in California Bean fell in with
a Mexican who was preparing to elope
with a girl Bean decided that this
elopement was not Of the girls wish,
so he stole her himself. After keeping
her several days Bean returned her
to her family, but for his trouble be-
came involved in a quarrel with a
Mexican army officer and finally chal-
lenged him to fight a duel. The Off
Ger accepted the challenge, and, as the
challenged party named lances as the
weapons, Bean, who knew nothing Of
lances, refused to fight, whereupon
they decided on pistols. This was
Beams weapon, as he showed by kill
ing his man.
The Mexican authorities seized Bean
for killing the man and sentenced him
to be hanged, and to this day insist
that they hanged him. Friends are
said to have cut him down and revived
him, hiding him until he was able to
travel, when he returned to Texas.
The truth as to this hanging cannot
be vouched for, as the judge would
never talk about it, Certain it Is that
there was q livid scar around his neck
and he carried his head in a peculiar
manner as a result of a permanently
stiff neck.
During the civil war he was a Con-
federate blockade runner. At the close
of the war he began carrying freight
by wagon train from San Antonio to
Ft. Stockton. With the beginning Of
construction of the G. H. and S. A.
railway west from San Antonio Bean
fitted up a tent saloon and moved with
the construction camps. When the
PecOs river was reached a permanent
camp was established at the mouth Of
the Pecos, where it empties into the

OLDEST CITY IN ARIZONA.
Mining Engineers Find Relics on Ta-
bIeIand Near Phoenix.

Still another oldest city in the
world" has been discovered. When II.
Hewitt Myring found cases in Peru In
ruins which were said to be 1000 years
old it was imagined that the remains
Of early civilization had been pushed as
far into antiquity as they would ever
go, says the Chicago Tribune. But A.
Lafave, a mining engineer, has found
the relics of a town in an Arizona ta-
bleland near Phoenix, which he insists
are at least 10000 years old. The
buildings are on a level stretch Of
country where neither silt nor wash
was possible and yet the ruins were
covered with ten feet of prairie rust
which the discoverer claims requires
ages to accumulate.
The buildings Of sandstone show
great architectural skill and in the
walls were found box of cotton bolls
and a sealed jar of corn, both well pre-
served. The Arizona climate does not
permit the growth of cotton in the
present age, so Mr.. Lafave assumes
that sufficient time must have elapsed
since the cotton which he found was
grown to have wrought a complete
change in the character Of the coun-
try. This period he also gauges as
something like 10000 years.
He is satisfied that the ruins are
older than those of Nineveh or Baby
lon. He believes that the race which
built this town was possessed Of a
high civilization from the abundance
of artistically wrought pottery and
that it subsequently was proven up by
internal dissension and possibly de-
generated into the cliff-dwelling peo-

Many wonderful stories have been
told regarding the vast soda deposit
at Lake Magadi In East Africa. A
British expedition has recently ascer-
tanned the facts regarding the lake,
which. according to THE Cnemicai

water consists at Magadi of a solid de-
posit of soda, with hard surface
looking like pink marble. During the
wet season-which in this region is
very short-the surface is covered
with a few inches of water. lmmedi-
ately after the cessation Of the rains
the whole of the surface becomes dry
with the exception Of a margin about
thirty yards wide. Even during the
wet season the amount of water on
the surface I'm no way renders imprac-
ticable the working of the deposit.
The area of this remarkable deposit
is about thirty square miles. The de-
post Is divided into several distinct
layers, the top layer being about ten
inches thick. When n block of soda
is removed the mother liquid rises
to the surface level and Immediately
begins to form Il fresh crust. The In
dians say that the crystalline mass Is
reformed so rapidly that they work
the same spots year after year.
There are good reasons for assuming
that the deposit extends in a SOLID
