INTEREST

Linked with the announcement
from Tamworth, n. H., that Miss Es-
Their Cleveland, the White House

gagement to Randolph D. West. son

friends. Young West is 90, a year
older than lI-ss Cleveland, and the
two have En0wn each other for years.
Both have been particularly fond OF
outdoor sports, particularly Of auto
MODELLING and tennis. Colonists from
the resort have expected that there
might be an engagement between the
two, but Mrs. Cleveland has given no
affirmation or denial of the report.
Arrangements for the coming-out
party have been completed by Mrs.
Cleveland. Her daughter will make

MRS. KATE GREINER'S DEATH

The little city of Citra was sadden-
ed last week by the sudden death of
Mrs. Kate Greiner, the beloved wife
of Mr.. J. c. Greiner. Although every
one knew she could not live, they new
er realized the end was so hear. She
had been in feeble health for a year,
and on return from her summer visit
about a month ago gave up house
keeping in her cozy little home here,
and boarded with Miss NJ. E. Erwin.
Mrs. Geiner"s life had been a sweet
past to be long remembered by her
many close relatives and friends.
She had been a resident of Citra for
many years, and during that time had
made her life useful in Frightening
the hearts of others. She was a prom
inent member of the Methodist church
and had charge Of the choir at Citra
for years. She possessed a sweet,
soft voice. She was always ready
and willing to do more than her part
toward any social affair.
Mrs. Greiner was a resident in ear

The Punta Gorda Herald says that
some of the newspapers of the state,
notably the Ocala Banner, are con
demning Governor Gilchrist for or
dering the state troops to Jackson
Vile to preserve order and protect
life during the street car strike. With
all the military of the state quartered
there has it done anything more in
quelling disorder than was done BY
the civil authorities at the beginning
of the outbreak? In the Metropolis
of November eth Mr.. j. E. T. Bow
den says that now (since the mil
tary occupatiOn) the strikers have
lost prestige and public sentiment is
fast changing, on account of mob VIC
lence." 1t seems that there is a clash
between the civil and military author
tiles, and those who are disposed to
violence pay no attention to the sol
diery, knowing that they are power
less to interfere, and the whole thing
is a farce and fiasco. Business
throughout the state has been dis.
turbed and the good name of its au-
thority has been brought into con.
tempt. The whole thing is a pitiful
spectacle.

PoRTUGAL's TROUBLES.

The Portuguese government is
forced to admit that northern Portu-
gal has many royalists in arms. Some
creasing rapidly in size and strength.
Good authorities estimate the senti-
ment of that part of the country at
nine-tenths monarchical, not so much
from any love of kings as on account
of the extreme unpopularity of the
present government.
In the vicinity of Lisbon, where the
existing government is most thorough
ly entrenched, there have been small
risings against the republic and in the
capital itself outbreaks of hostility to
the rulers of the country are frequent.
All of the conditions indicate that real
civil war is on, instead of mere local
disturbances.
1t is all as natural as it is unfair.
No government could make Portugal
prosperous and reasonably free from
debt and extreme poverty. But with
out such changes for the better the
country can never be content under
any administration. 1t is a situation
perfectly adapted to fomenting revolts
and keeping the government insecure
and greatly hampered in trying to
bring about better conditions for the
masses.
If the monarchists could overthrow
the republic they would never be able
to satisfy the demands of the peo-
pie. If they were to restore the king

SAYS UNCLE CAV

If some of us didn't take a morbid
pleasure in our troubles We would
not have so many of them. Unfor-
tunately, a good many people are like
beggars-proud of their sores. They
grow to love their ills and woes and
wouldn't know how to live without
them. 1t is a joy to exhibit them to
the disgust of healthy-minded folk,
and a bit of sympathy extended upon
the impulse of the moment means only
another indecent exposure of Tester
ing morbidity.
Most of our troubles are purely
imaginary. They grow with the
telling and gloom clouds spread as
the lamentations arise. We foster and
pet them for the sympathy they bring
us when decisive action would put
them out of the way for all time.
We cuddle our woes when we
after the original grievance has died
a natural death we cherish the MEM
Dry of it and are morbidly happy in
sorrow.
The most beautiful thing in this
beautiful world is sympathy, but it
isn't to be dispensed upon every oc-
casion. A singing word, a good,
swift kick, religiously aimed and with
the power of six-cylinder convic-
ton behind it, are a heap more eff
fective at times. The woe peddler, the
beggar for sympathy who exhibits his
sores. has no more rights than thief,
and If justice were done he would be
in Jail at hard labor. He is his own
worst enemy, to say nothing of being

ties to soak him now and then for the

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

A maid was once sent out from an en-
ployment bureau to a position, and on
| expected to live was wretched little
hole, miserably furnished, with no paper
| on the wall, no arrangements for heating
and one tiny window, told the lady of the
hosue that she did not wish to stay, be-
cause she felt she could never make that
room look homelike.
Whereupon she departed. And now the
| lady of the house goes about telling this
experience as an illustration Of how
abnominably presumPtuous and uppisIh
most everywhere she tells it she receives
sympathy. 1.-The idea" exclaim her
anythjnp with them NOWADAYS. they are
so independent Wouldn't stay because
she couldn't make the room look home
like. What do they expect-guest cham
bers?''
/ My friends, it seems to me that in that
| little incident is illustrated one of the
c---ef causes of the maid problem.
That a housework girl should want to
have her room look homelike and should
refuse to stay in a place where she
couldn't make it so, seemed the acme or
| absurdity to these good women They re-
garded It as unwarrantable independence
| on her part
And yet a maids bedroom means much
more to her than her mistress chamber
does to the mistress, for the maids bed
room must also be her living room L. +,o,,

had thought of the maid who wanted a
|
themselves, they wouldn't have seen any
thing extraordinary in her demands. But
t-ey were so in the habit of looking upon
her as a distinct species of animal life
the genus maid, that they didn't think of
applying to her the test of similar desires
| and needs.
There was little story in the joke col-
| umns of one of the magazines the other
| day, which, to my mind, came almost as
near pathos as humor. 1t ran something
| like this. A maid has asked leave to go
home to her mother who is very i'll. The
| mistress says she may go, only she
| mustn't stay long she is much needed
| At the end of week the maid writes
something to this effect: Dear Mrs. -,
L will be back real soon, and please keep
my place for me. Mother is dying as fast
as she cam
| Probably that never happened. but if
maids would assume the attitude many
mistresses try to thrust upon them it GER
tainly could have come to pass.
Undoubtedly there is fault on both sides
| in the servant problem. Undoubtedly
trustworthy, and a thousand other things.
But don't believe that anything can ex-
cuse mistresseS from this unfeeling an6
unintelligent attitude towards the maid as
a creature instead of a human being.
When mistresses cease to assume this
attitude, and get the thought that their
maids really are women with natural de-
sires for happiness and homelike rooms
and appreciation and pretty clothes, per-
haps girls will not consider homework the
most degrading of occupations and will
not prefer to it the most exhausting and
ilI-paid work in shop or factory.
