TAGGING" WOMEN
ARE GREAT BOREs
Fair Ones Who Always In
sist on Husbands Com
pany Prove Tiresome.
BY ELIZABETH r. THOMAS.

Why on earth does q woman wish
to tag" after her husband, when hub
| by is in no mood for her company?
The other day man was seen walk
ing up the street with a woman, most
undoubtedly his wife. His every ac-
ton showed he wanted to be by him
self. He went into a cigar store but
his fair companion waited patiently on
the outside until he came out again
Now of course one might say that the
man should not have gone into the
store but then when one has a tag
ging" wife what is to be done but ac-
'cept the first opportunity for mo-
ment's reprieve?
The question Is asked In all serious
ness and not with the least idea OF
ridicuIe.
The subject was first awakened In
the mind of the writer by the sight Of
feminine hordes who invade mems
college commencement and valiantIy
"tag"-there Is no other words to ex-
press it--their husbands and brothers
through every strenuous moment Of
the day.
A man who goes back to reunion
of college friends longs to be In their
company only; to be q boy again with
the class, to lose for the time the
sense Of the worlds pressure, cares,
woes, domestic troubles and such
things. But what chance has he with
his wife or daughters demanding his
constant attention.
Who invented ladies nights" at
mems clubs and "gentlement's even
ings" at ladies associations and social
clubs? am afraid the answer is ''wo-
men did"
In a way women are getting just
little childish. They are forever seek
ing new playthings and being interest
ed in trivial affairs. Thomas Went
worth Higginson was right when he
said that there is nothing in the
world SO like man as q woman W0-
mans rightful pleasures and amuse-
ments can come to them as freely and
securely as any mans. but 10 long as
women believe, and by the very fierce
ness OF their faith convince men that
masculine privileges are the only ones
worth having, Just 50 long will the bal
ance of power lean too heavily on one
side.

sEAsoN in AMERICA.


Harold Bauer, writing to his Ameri-

that he will have his programs ammo
tated for his coming season in Amer
lea.
In accordance with several re-
quests and suggestions have received
from American friends" explains Mr..
Bauer. Il propose to make new de-
parture, and have the programs ammo
tated. That is to say short article,
descriptive, historical or in some way
suggestive, will accompany each I'M
portant composition. They will not
be in the form of a musical analysis,
for this only appeals-and that very
vaguely-to the musical student. The
object of the scheme is to make the
various compositions clearer and
more interesting both to musicians
and the general public. The articles
will be compiled by Alfred Kalisch,
one of the greatest living authorities
on musical matters, and an important

PIcK.PL0W P0R FARM DRAIN
Simple Homemade Implement Affords
Farmer Opportunity of Doing
Work Cheapiy.

Something over fifty years ago, =
pick-plow for use in digging trenches
was described In the German edition
Of the American agriculturist, pub
lished in New York by Orange Judd.
This description was accompanied by
an illustration, which was afterward
used by blacksmith, who forged such
a pillow for me. I have used this pillow
for digging trenches for laying tile
on my Wisconsin farm for many years,
and am surprised that so useful and
efficient an implement is not in more
general use. Any good blacksmith,
with an assistant, can make this pillow
in less than two days. An old smithy
and his son made mine in one day,

Solves a Deep Mystery.

II want to thank you from the bot
tom of my heart, "wrote c. B. RAIDER,
of Lewisburg, w. Va, "for the Won
derful double benefit got from Elec-
Bitters, in curing me Of both a severe
case of stomach trouble and of rheu-
matism, from which had been an
almost helpless sufferer for ten years.
It suited my case as though made just
for me-" For dyspepsia, indigestion,
jaundice and to rid the system of kid
ney poisons that cause rheumatism,
Electric Bitters has no equal. Try
them. Every bottle is guaranteed to
satisfy. Only SOC at F. T. Clay's.

writes N E. Becker of Wisconsin, In
the Orange Judd Farmer. The tota
cost was only eight dollars, including
a heavy four-foot chain for use in
hitching to the pillow when it is deep
down In the ditch.
l first used it in 1894. l had heard
that out in Minnesota men were
charging rs cents per rod to con-
struct drainage bitches with the
steam ditching machine. l was able
to build bitches more cheaply by the
means Of this simple, homemade con-
trivance On one piece of work, by
using this pillow and two horses. four
men made ditch 1850 feet long,
from 21s to 31k feet deep and one foot
wide, in one day from eight o'clock in
the morning to six o'clock in the after
noon. This was in clay soil, which at
the time happened to be dry and was
shoveled easily. If the ground had
been wet, of course, so much could
not have been accomplished.
In building bitches for tile, l first
pillow 1t as deeply as possible, usually
going over it twice with an ordinary
plow. All the dirt that is not thrown
out by the plow Is then shoveled out.
Next l 60 up and down the ditch with
the pick-plow. Ours is made to cut
II inches wide, and by having it so
strongly constructed that there is not
much spring in it a uniform width
and straight sides can be maintained
In the ditch. After the ground is
loosened we shovel out the loose dirt
and then 60 over 1t again with the
pick -plow We use an evener eight
feet long, so that the horses work far
enough away from the ditch that there
is no danger of their falling in. AS
additional depth is secured the hitch
is heightened, and the pillow can be
used in digging bitches three to four
feet or more deep. Where we have
to cross an elevation In the field,
which requires greater depth, we go
over that spot two or three times with
the pillow, bringing the bottom Of the
ditch down to the required level.
Broadly speaking, the depth to which
this can be used is limited only by the
length of the chain to which the even
er is fastened.
