why should the legislative corres- pondents seek to embarrass Senator MdrloWe Of New Haven by specg1la tion as to his reason for appearing in a dress suit at the opening session of the senate?

OFFENSIVE POST CARDS
To Be Opposed by Irish Societies il
 Connecticut.

The following was published in the Bridgeport Farmer Monday night. It was read at a meeting of the Gaelic Language society last evening, and is a communication from the Rev. Mi chaeI O'Flannagan, the envoy from the Gaelic league of Ireland, whose mag nificent addresses in Boston, New York and Washington are influencing Irish opinion in America into support of the remarkable language revival now pro-
 P. J. Dolan. who presided, said Bridgeport was taking the lead in the Gaelic revival, as the society had received letters from prominent Irish men in Hartford, New Britain and Stamford, who wished to start Gaelic classes. In answer to another re- quest that had come from the A. O., H. in Stratford, he proposed that J. J. Mccarthy and P. OHuaithue go out and deliver addresses in the Gaelic revival, in Hartford Hibernian hall. The women also like to thank the Hibernian division in Stratford for the general invitation to their re- cent banquet, which some of those present availed of. F. O'Hualithue drew attention to a communication he had addressed to the press durin- the past week requesting Dr. N. E. Wordin to withdraw a misleading statement about the young Irish inn migrants, and he proposed that central committee of all the Irish so- cieties be formed to take up such questions.
 The postal card caricatures, he said. would again be displayed in March, if the Irish societies did not take decis- i've action beforehand and request the local star managers not to display the insulting and revolting pictures which the English manufacturers send over here as Irish types.
 J. J. Mccarthy said the Irish were the only race slandered and libelled by the English postal card publishers and it was time the nuisance was stopped He. said he had already brought the question before the sev- eral divisions of the A. o. H. and the central committee would soon be informed

woMEN's WORK AS FARMERA.
AlIurins Tales of Financias Success
 Omit the Dull coIors.

Wonderful and alluring tales have been published of the financial sue cess and physical advantages gained by women fin operating suburban farms while meeting the tasks of daf- " employment in the city. But lf Is to be feared that at least soYne of these were woven from the imaefna- ton rather than from experience. Reasons adduced by Ma1de Radford Warren, in discussing the failures of women farmers, are that many of them have taken up that pursuit too hastily or with too little capital, or because they are already so exhaust ca oy the demands of some other vo- cation that they have not the strength Tor the hard work of the farm.
 It IS true that the wrestling Of wealth from it's first source is hard work Yet 1t has been made easier by modern invention. Thus the flarnessiusr of a stream in it's course through a farm has been made to run a dynamo, and the current thus obtained has ben utilized for both lighting the house and other buildings, and for running the churn and other light machinery. Nevertheless, much of the dr1fdgery Of the farm must fall upon woman even When a husband is master of the acres. It is she who toils in the kitcs- en, watches over tho poultry keeps the house sweet and clean. nlands ths clothing, keeps an eye upon rowing children, and even in some parts of the country does the milking and gathers fruit
 The increased profit of forming and the introduction of the automobile have done much to tighten the wpn1- ans lot and to broaden it's social side. Its monotony is less dull than it was and even the former isolation of win ter is broken by more frequent gath erings at the school house or the church. But as a rule the woman who undertakes agriculture as an inde- pendent pursuit needs other 5qualities besides her admirable spirit of enter. prise and dependence-Washins- ton Post.

OSTENTATION

NO, thank you, Mrs. Wagstaff, I won't sit down, as I haven't a minute 70 spare said Mrs. Cumback. T was just going to make a cake and found there wasn't an egg in the house, so ran over to see if you could lend me a couple until the grocer sends me some. As l came out of our house the first person l met was Mrs. Crump, and declare she fairly took my breath away. She was going downtown at o'clock in the morning in full regimentals, and you might have mistaken her for 8 drum major. And her hat! Mrs. Wagstaff, have you seen Mrs. Crump's s new hat?"
 NO, haven't. I have been so busy lately doing my housework that I haven't been able to pay proper atten- tion to other women's millinery, I am ashamed to say.''
 'Well if that hat cost 50 cents it cost $50, and, while I don't make a practice of talking about 6ny neigh bors, must say that it isn't very good taste for Mrs. Crump to go around fixed up like major general and wear ing such a hat, especially at g o'clock in the morning. when a woman in full dress attracts so much attention. If I was in, Mrs. Crump's place, and found 1t necessary to go downtown, I'd put a shawl over my head and travel through the alleys, for everybody knows that her husband is on the verge of bank ruptcy.
 .'On the first of the month he always goes into the cellar and locks himself in, and his wife sends him down his meals by the dumb waiter, and the yard is swarming with bill collectors, and the threats they indulge in would make your blood run cold. I'm always afraid they'll set fire to the house to smoke him out, and if they did that and it happened to be windy day, there's no telling where the fire would spread to, for the water pressure is poor out here, although we pay taxes enough to have good pressure, I'm sure.
 About a year ago Mir Cumback sold MT. Crunp a valuable hunting dog for $2 and MT. Crump said he'd pay for 1t in week, as he expected check in that time. MT. Cumback had prom

ised me that I might have the money for my own use, and, as I was anxious to buy an amethyst hatpin I had seen in the jev1sler's window looked for ward to getting that money But whev the time came for settlement MT. Crump had all sorts of ridiculous ex- cuses. saying that the dog was no good as a hunter, as it didn't know a rabbit from a wildcat, and was scared into fits when it heard a gun go off, and he brought the dog over into our yard and tied it to a tree and said he
 wouldn't have such beast at any
 price.
 ssI was at home alone at the time
 and of course I couldn't do anything, but when MT. Cumback came home he
 took the dog over and tied it to the knob of Crump'S front door. That was
 in the evening and in the morning we found the dog in our cellar, MT. Crump
 having pushed it in through the coal
 hole, and the poor creature was all
 covered with soot and dirt and was
 badly scratched.
 HMr. Cumback is a very tender
 hearted man and when he saw that
 poor dog he went to the police station and had MT. Crunp arrested for cruel- ty to animals and he was fined $5-and
 costs. Instead of profiting by the les- son and trying to be a nobler and bet ter man, he turned right around and had my husband arrested becausa a few of OUT chickens were running loose, although they had never injured him in any way. In fact, he had in duced them to lay eggs in his barn by fixing up nests for them and the Crunps had been living on. our eggs all winter and didn't even return us the shells, as my husband said Well, MT Cum!back was fined $10 and costs which was a perfect out rage but he's man who is always ready to make sacrifices for princi pie, so he had MT. Crurnp arrested for dis charging firearms within the city linn it's. Then MT. Crunp had him arrested for using profane language. They kept on that way for weeks. but MT. Cum
