AMERICAN WOMEN ARGUERS
They Wrangle over Trifles and Make
Life Uncomfortable, Says the Mar
ried Man.

"There are three 'Donts' which
every clergyman could with propriety
add as a homily to the wedding cere-
mony," remarked an unhappy looking
married man. Don't argue, don't
bicker, don't nag, and the greatest OF
these is don't argue, for in the trail OF
argument troops pickering and host
of other petty, disagreable traits
which lead straight to disaster.
"The habit of arguing over trifes is
a dangerous one, yet one that is in
dulged in by women, and particularly
American women. 1t is not going too
far to say that the American woman
is more given to argument than any
other. She contracts the habit in the
cradle and successfully carries 1t
through life.
"The fact that many women use
an argument as safey valve for de-
preston and vent their ill-feeling in
this form of wrangling. And generally
the smaller the trifle the greater the
lWIdublt. OuCt al al SuLhShI 10 iuHA9
started, no one knows where 1t may
land one. One goes much further than
intended, and says things that had bet
ter been left unsaid.
1T is q rare woman who can take
an impersonal attitude in an argument
and maintain 1t. The average woman
quickly becomes personal to the point
of rudeness and is often disagreeable.
Worse than this, she is not always
overly scrupulous in her methods. She
will say anything to carry her point,
with an absurd diregard for accuracy.
"A certain type Of woman instinct
lively takes the opposite side of ques'
tion. If you mildly remark that the
day Is pleasant, she declares 1t quite
the contrary. This sort of woman has
a tremendous power for making lie
uncomfortable, and her methods may
slowly wreck home"

ProWess of Women.

The athletic young woman, or peri
haps the young woman of courage, Is
doing her full duty these days. In this
one city within q week more than one
sneak thief has been caught and held
by some young woman until he could
be taken off her hands by the police
or some other assistance. In New
York three such cases were reported
in a single day. Probably this is not
a modern trait of character, but some
of 1t at least may be attributed to the
modern training. The time has come
when the burglar or sneak thief who
expects to get away uncaught Will
have to make sure there are no wom-
en about the premises he intends to
raid.

she rejoined.
There was indeed much in her sit
uation to excite sympathy. 1t had
been through her own act that nego
tiations between England and Texas
were broken off, All chance of Mex
leo TO regain property in Texas was
lost through her influence with Van
Zandt. Now. when all was done, here
she was, deserted even by those who
had been her allies in this work.
my dear senora," said John Cal
houn, becoming less formal and more
kindly, you shall have funds sufficient
to make you comfortable at least for
a time after your return to Mexico
| am not authorized to draw upon
our exchequer, and you, of course
must prefer all secrecy in these mat
ters. l regret that my personal for
tune is not so large as it might be
but, in such measure as may, shall
assist you, because l know You peed
assistance. In return, you must leave
this country. The flag is down which
once floated over the house of Mexico
here"
She hid her face behind her fa.~
and Calhoun turned aside.
"Senora, have you ever seen this
slipper" he asked, suddenly placing
upon the table the little shoe, which
for a purpose l had brought with me
and meantime thrown upon the table
She flashed dark look, and did not
speak.
zone night, some time ago, your
husband pursued lady across this
town to get possession of that very
slipper and its contents! There was
in the toe of that little shoe mes
sage. AS you know, we got from II
certain information, and therefore de-
vised certain plans, which you have
helped us to carry out. Now, as per
haps you have had some personal AMI
mus against the other lady in these
same complicated affairs, have taken
the liberty of sending special mes
senger to ask her presence here this
morning. | should like you two tc
meet, and, If that be possible, to part
with such friendship as may exist In

looked suddenly at Mr.. Calhoun
1t seemed he was planning without
my aid.
"Yes," he said to me, smiling, 81

the Baroness Won Ritz also is here, II
another apartment of this place. Il
you please, I shall now send for hel
also"
He signaled to his old negro at
tendant. Presently the latter opened
the door, and with deep bow an
nounced the Baroness Won Ritz, who
entered, followed closely by Mr.. Cal
houn's inseparable friend, old DR.
Ward.
The difference in breeding between
these two women was to be seen at 6
glance. The Dona Lucrezia was beau
tiful in a way, but lacked the thor
oughbred quality which comes in the
highest types of womanhood. Afilict
ed by nothing but somewhat mer
cenary or personal grief, she showed
her lack of gameness in adversely. On
the other hand, Helena Won Ritz, who
had lived tragedy all her life, and was
now in the climax Of such tragedy

was smiling and debonair as though
she had never been anything but
wholly content with life! She was
robed now in some light filmy greer
material, caught up here and there or
the shoulders and secured with silk
en- knots Her white neck showed
her arms were partly bare with the
short sleeves of the time. She stood
composed and easy, figure fit for any
company or any court, and somewhat
shaming our little assembly, which
never was court at ALL only a pri
vate meeting in the Office of dis
credited and disowned leader in a re
publican government. Her costume
and her bearing were Helena Won
Ritz's answer to a woman's fate, A
deep color famed in her cheeks. She
stood with head erect and lips smiling
brilliantly. Her curtsey was grace
itself. Our dingy little office was
glorified.
81 interrupt you, gentlemen" she be-
gan.
"On the contrary, I am sure, my
dear lady" said DR.. Ward, Senator
Calhoun told me he wished you to
meet Sonora Yturrio."
"Yes," resumed Calhoun, 81 was just
speaking with this lady over some
matters concerned with this little slip
per-" He smiled as he held it up gin
gerly between thumb and finger. "Do
you recognize it, Madam Baroness?"
"Ah, my little shoe!" she exclaimed
"But see, 1t has not been well cared

But think its days are done on such

Calhoun. 81 wish you personally to

al post"
For one moment these two women
looked at each other, with that on
their faces which would be hard to
describe. At last the baroness spoke:
1T Is not wholly my fault, Sonora
Yturrio, If your husband gave you
cause to think there was more than
diplomacy between us, At least, can
say to you that it was the sport Of ii
alone, the intrigue, If you please
which interested me. I trust you will
not accuse me beyond this"
A stihed exclamation came from
the Dona Lucrezia. ! have never seen
more sadness nor yet more hatred on
human face than hers displayed

said she. II go!"
Mr.. Calhoun gravely offered her an
arm; and so with rustic Of her silks
there passed from our lives one un
happy lady who helped to make our
map for us.
The baroness herself turned. 81

The klaSkoad Drag.

sional' district the. people are

yer the King rad drag. Some of
the farmers ID lhe rural districts
of Davies cohnty have tried it
and they agreein saying that it
is capable Of doing wonderful
things in the Tay of taking the
bumps out Sfa dirt road. One
of the banks atDwensboro thinks
so well Of the drag that it has is
sued a bookle telling how to
build it and fO) TO use 1t to the
best advantage. The bank is Civ.
ing away the pamphlet to its
farmer friends land patrons, and
the demand 4as been so strong
that two editions have been is
sued.
Over in Hancock county, which
adjoins Davwss, an enterprising
citizen build a King drag and
gave it test, The results were
SO satisfactory that the County
Judge has ordered twelve of the
''machines" constructed for use
throughout the county. 1t is free
claimed by those who have tried
it that ono man working with a
team and a drag can do more
than six men working in the or
binary way--and that the results
are incOmparably better and
more permanent.
These reports are nothing more
than a repetition of those which
come me. from eslery section Of the.
country where'the King drag has
been used. There is nothing
complex or costly about the i'm.
plement. Its inventor described
it in a newspaper article some
time ago as ''simple, cheap, I'M
couth, but efficient" Its special
ty is the improvement of dirt
roads, and it is the uniform test
imony of those who have tried it
that it improves. A number of
the agricultural experiment sta
tions have been so Impressed with
Its work that they have issued
pamphlet descriptive of the drag
and the method of operating it.
Counties which have dirt road
problem to deal with-and most
countries have-should try the
King drag. In the absence of
metaled roads it seems to he the
next best thing and it involves
no great outlay as is the case
with more cumbersome and
complicated road mahinery.-I

ing stringent rules on postage and
making the government a direct
competitor with every footprint
ing plant in the country in the
business of printing private en-
velopes, the printers are highly
tariff-taxed on the material and
machinery used by them.
First and foremost is the high
tariff tax on wood pulp, paper and
cardboard and the products there
of. The abolition of this tariff tax
would check the enormous drain
nowsbeing made on the rapidly
increasing prices being exacted
by the paper trust.
Linotype, typecasting and type
setting machines, and parts there
of, are tariff taxed 30 per cent.
Since none are imported and no
revenue is derived therefrom, the
conclusion must naturally be
drawn that this tax is levied for
some Especial interest,"" which re-
Iuires no painstaking or laboriOus
search to find. Under this protec-
ton the linotype trust is enabled
to sell for over 5000 machine

The rains of this week will
tend to put the roads back to
their usual muddy condition at
this season of the year. The dry
weather the past several days had
dried the roads out so thoroughly
that they were as good as they u
sually get anytime during the
year. Where they have been
ditched this Spring, now take no.
tice and see how much better
they will hold up than where no
work has been done. With the
roads ditched on each side and
thrown to the center and the

use dirt roads are made just as
good as IT is possible to make
them.
