Escaping the Drudgery
Woman Tells How Household Work May Be Made
Less Unpleasant.

The old-time household duties also disappeared
to a great extent. Scrubbing was no longer a
necessity. | found a waxed floor with simple but
effective rugs, Just as practical as In other parts
OF the house, says a writer in Success. The next
step was to eliminate that second frightful bug
bear of housekeeping-washing the pots and pans.
No dish or kettle used in cooking was allowed to
become cold before being washed with a COM
bination wire and bristle brush. The hand thus
came in contact only with the handle OF the YES
sci, doing away with the most unpleasant part OF
dishwashing, while the immediate cleansing min
imized labor by preventing particles of food from
drying and sticking to the sides OF the utensil.
Table tops of glass and marble also helped to
reduce labor in the kitchen. These were constant
ly kept spotless by the free use Of paper napkins
as "wipe-up rags" The employment Of paper Is
one Of the most valuable means OF saving work.
Paper napkins when bought in quantities are
cheap, they are absorbent, easily handled and may
be quickly disposed OF.
Another of our schemes was to have all garbage
instantly dropped down a tube from the sink to
an moderator in the cellar. doing away with
that most unpleasant chemical combination Of a
mixture Of nondescript scraps, SO unpleasant to
the senses OF sight, smell and touch. We have
not as yet reached Mrs. Rorer's ideal OF minimum

crews, but In addition it has virtually developed a
life-saving service of its own, and every revenue
cutter might be designated as a floating hfe-sav-
ing station. The police of the sea have to anord
protection for the sponge fisheries In the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Straits of Florida; they play an
important part in enforcing quarantine regula,
lions when Uncle Sam is putting up the bars
against some plague-infested country abroad, and
they guard the safety of the public at all great
yacht races and ~regattas.
Persons who bear in mind the principal events
of the Spanish-American war will recall that the
revenue cutters with their officers and men
played an important part in the defense OF the
country during that conflict. But this was no In
~novation. In the preceding wars In which this
nation engaged the revenue cutter service al
ways had a hand, and, indeed, there Is a standing
arrangement whereby, in the event OF war, the
police of the sea cooperate with the navy. 1t Is
a question, after all, however, whether the great
est victories Of the revenue cutter service have
not been won In times Of peace. Take, for ex-
ample, the great yellow fever epidemic that in the

EPIC OF HUGH GLASS
OLD FRoNTlERsMAN's WONDER
Full BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Horribly MansIed by Grizzly Bear,
He Was Left in the Wilderness
20 Perish.

An epic story in its essence is the
story of heroic men battling, aided or
or frustrated by the superhuman.
John c. Neihart. in The River aud
H. says that Americans do not write
epics, they live them; and he recalls
the story OF old Hugh Glass, which
he declares to be wonderful enough
TO be the foundation Of a tremendous
A~eschylean drama. He describes him
as a giant to endure, and an angel to
forgive.
He was In the Leavenworth cam
paign against the Arkaras. and after,
ward went as a hunter with the Henry
expedition. He had a friend. a mere
bay, and the two were very close,
One day Glass. who was in advance
of the party, beating up the country
for game. fell In with n grizzly, and
when the main party came up. he lay
horribly mangled, with the bear
standing over him. They killed the
bear, but the old man seemed done
for, His face had all its features
scraped off, and one Of his legs went
wabbly when they lifted him.
1t was merely a matter of n more
man being dead, S % the expedition
pushed on, leaving the young friend
with several others to see the old mar
underground.
But the old man was a tighter M
refused to die, though he was uncon
scious, He fought stubbornly for sew
eral days. but 1t seemed plain enough
that he would have to let so soon
So the young friend and the Others
left the old man in the wilderness t
finish up the job by himself. The,
took his weapons and fastened afte
the main party, for the country wa
hostile.
But one day old Glass woke up an
got one of his eyes open. When h
saw how things stood, he vowed tina
he would live, merely for the sake o
killing his false friend, He crawleI
to a spring ear by, where he found
bush of ripe bullberries. He waite
day after day for strength, and final
started out to crawl a small matte
of 100 miles to the nearest fort.
He did 1t. Also he found his frien

A ROW OVER AN OLD SWORD.



Boston, Mass, July 21-The own
ership of the scimetar which was
presented to Commodore Pereigal by
the ruler of Muscat in 1914 is likely
to go to the supreme court for final
determination. While he was in
command of the old frigate Consti
tuition, which had figured in the nay
al operations Of 1912, Commodore
Porcival saved the life Of the inaun
of Muscat, and in recognition of that
service was presented with "a sword
of hammered brass and unique de-
sign,
As it was provided by the laws OF
the United States that the commo-
dore could not receive present
from a foreign potentate without a
special act of congress permitting
it, the commodore turned the gift
over to benjamin stevens, then his
secretary
At the request of Percival the
sword was later given to his niece,
whose son, Percival Gassett, claims
he is the rightful owner Later the
sword came into the possession or
John p Healey who was city soliei-
tor for many years. At an auction
sale Of his effects upon his death,
Miss Sarah Minis purchased the
sword for $3.50.
Later Miss Minis received let
ter from Percival Gassett, asking her
to sell him the sword because of his
direct descent from the commodore.
She declined 10 sell it. but at the re-
quest of the executor of John 7. Hea-
ley's estate permitted him to take it.
The next she heard Of it was when

BISHOP ANDERSON WILL
OPEN THE CHAUTAUQUA
The Twelfth Annual Encampment
Will Begin Next Tuesday Night.
Splendid Program Arranged

On next Tuesday night the twelfth
| annual encampment of the Waxaha-
chic Chautauqua will be opened with
an address by Bishop w F. Ander-
son of Chattanooga, Tenn Bishop
Anderson is man of unusual plat
form and pulpit ability, ranking
among the keenest thinkers and
most interesting and attractive
speakers of the present century
Some years ago he was known as one
of the most eloquent and popular
preachers of the great New York
conference of the Methodist church.
From the position of pastor he was
elected general secretary of the de-
nomination. In this very important
and widely extended field his work
was pre-eminently successful and as
a result he was the first bishop elect
ed at the general conference in
1908.
The directors of the Chautauqua
are looking forward to successful
encampment. They have sent out
great deal of advertising matter and
encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from different sections of the
| state. 1t is believed the number OF
campers will be as large as in pre-
yious years. There is not more de-
lightful place in the state to spend
a short outing than at the Chautau-
qua Park in Waxahachie, Ample
shade is furnished by magnificent
grove and every person who attends
will have free access to an abund-
ance of ice water.
The program for this year is one
of the strongest that has been offer
ed. Each number has been secured
with guarantee and each attrac-
ton is the strongest that could be OBJ
tanned. The day programs are ar
ranged especially for those who are
interested in church and Sunday
school work and the men who will
be in charge of each department are
experts in their respective lines of
| work.
The committee having in charge
| the grounds hope to begin erecting
tents tomorrow and by Tuesday night
| it is expected that large number Of
campers will be on hand,
| The day programs this year will
| be under the leadership of Drs. Fos-
| ter, Bachman and Stephens. DR.
! Bachman has been here number of
| times and his work as Sunday
school man is well known to all the
| Chautauqua visitors.
The night attractions will include
c. L. Bprgderfer, the Metropolitan
| Orchestra, Ash Davis, Congressman
i! Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, Former
Governor Richard Yates of Illinois,
| and Elias Day.
| Hon Richard Yates has lately
been much in the public eye as a
witness in the famous Lorimer inyes-
tigation He has been Connected with
| Illinois politics many years, He Is
gifted orator and his manner of
speech is logical and convincing.
| Congressman Rainey is an orator
| who combines wide knowledge or
his subject with grace and charm OF
| manner. There are very few speak
ers in congress who are as effective
and convincing. He has been prom
nent speaker in all the national dem
ocratic campaigns since 1895,
