Enemies of Gould popped up

In 1905 he had to fight Joe
Ramsay for the presidency of the
Wabash. He won, at a bitter
cost-to find his victory hollow.
Out West, the railroad COM
missions mysteriously began to
take a most active and disastrous
interest in the Gould roads.
Then came the panic of 1907.

Wheeling and Lake Erie, and the

WHY WOMEN ARE IDLE.

"The modern wife," murmured
the sad-eyed sociologist, lis too friv-
edous and idle"
"But it isn't our fault" objected
the young matron.
"Whose fault is ,it?"
"It's the result of present condi-
tions. We're forced to be idle, and
we have to be frivolous to kill
time.
@The old-fashioned wife could
darn her husbands socks-my hus-
band wears socks that are guaran-
teed for half year and never need
darning.
"Years ago the housewife had the
washboard to break the tedium-and
the back. Automatic washers do
the work now, with little time and
no trouble.
"1nstead Of a broom, sanitary dam
gers force us to use the fainless
vacuum cleaner. In the place Of
tine hot kitchen range We have the
fireless cooker that doesn't have to
be watched"
And the sad-eyedi sociologist, see
ing his error, humbly asked her par
dan for it.
