every morning, not through a maid or
even housekeeper, but by the wife
herself. This is possible unless one
is very much occupied with very
grave things. and it means to simpli-
fly life and add to the comfort of
every member of the family. l be-
lieve in the gentle art of needlework
and even in the exceedingly obsolete
occupation of darning the family
hosiery.
Il find no study more entertaining
than that of the varied life of the
woman of today compared with that
of her grandmother. feel very
grateful indeed that the horizon has
expanded SO and that having attended
faithfully to the home there is so
much to inspire and encourage. There
are the clubs, for instance, especially
the patriotic ones, where we breathe
an atmosphere of history in its bes.
sense and where we can do little
missionary work for those not so well
environed. The social side of pa
triotic and literary clubs is one of
the genuine pleasures of my home
city, as it is here. But these are mere
diversions and I should deplore very
much should any sort of club prevent
woman from attending to the real
work OF life which pertains to her
home and her family. This opinion is
voiced by all those who are urging
larger share of municipal responsible
ity for women. If thought such priv
ileges would make women restless or
unfit for domestic relations, / should
cease to sympathize. l believe 1t will
have just an opposite effect and that
after ten years of voting the result
will be as encouraging as the expert
ment of higher education for women
has proven"
Mrs. Burleson was educated partly
by governesses in her home in Aus
tin after going to New York for spe-
cial courses and finished her training
by two years abroad. When her eld-
est daughter was studying in the Tex
as university, and having for various
reasons to spend part OF the winter
in Austin. she took a course of Eng
lish and literature and she anticipate
at some future time finishing this
course and standing for degree. Mr..

THREE WOUNDED IN CHARGE.
Woman and Boy Fall as Troops Fight
Buffalo Strikers.

Buffalo, N. Y.-"Fire!" came the
command from an officer of the
guards called out in the carmens s
strike. A dozen rifles replied. A boy
and a woman fell. The crowd which
had assumed large proportions broke
and began to chase the street car
that had just passed under the bridge.
The soldiers followed with fixed bay
onets and drove the throng to the
curbs. More than one felt the butt of
a rifle in the melee and one man re-
ceived a bayonet thrust in the hand.

Rome, April 10-All official reports
regarding the condition of Pope Plus
x. agree that his condition is not
grave and that there is no immediate
danger. Anxiety continues, however,
on account of the weakness of the
pontiff and the action of his heart
which is in need of constant stimula-
ton.
The attending physicians found that
the condition of the Pope had i'm
proved during Tuesday night and this
Improvement was maintained through
out Wednesday, although his temper
ature showed a slight increase.
Again last evening his temperature
rose slightly but the difference from
that of the afternoon was hardly per-
ceptible.
The patient is given eggs beaten up
in milk, but his inability to absorb
nourishment contributes to the de-
preston from which he suffers.
The relapse is following the same
course as the original attack of inf!d-
enza, sough being present with irri-
tation of the bronchial tubes, and diff
ficulty in respiration which has led to
the report in some cases that the Pooe
is afflicted with asthma. This, how
ever, is erroneous. The condition of
albuminuria, which usually accompa-
MES influenza, also is present, indi-
eating an inflammation of the kidneys
of greater or lesser degree, but it is
hoped that this is of transitory char
acter.
The aspect of the immense square
in front OF st. Peters recalled the
scenes during the illness of Pope Leo
XIII, but instead of burning July
sun as in 1908, there was downpour
of rain. This did not prevent thous-
ands of pilgrims from gathering and
gazing with grave anxiety at the three
windows of the room on the third
floor of the apostolic palace where the
Pope lies, or from directing sympa-
thetic glances at the little house int he
square below where the sisters of the
Pope occupy a modest apartment

DUMMY SAFE PLAN F0ILEO
Clever Scheme to Rob Saloon
Baked by Scare.

Yeggmen entered the saloon of Adolph
Neurad, Of No. 1474 First avenue. yester-
day morning, but were scared away be-
fore they could blow the safe and take its
contents. Detectives found a parcel
wrapped in brown paper on the roof con-
tanning five four-foot squares of card
board, the edges reinforced with laths
and the whole made glossy black with
enamel paint.
The five squares of cardboard fitted to-
gether forming the sides and top OF a
substitute safe" The idea was one OF
the cleverest the detectives had seen.
Neurad keeps his safe in the front store,
and il can be readily seen from the street,
an electric light shining on 1t from the
time the saloon closes until 1t is again
opened.
II was the purpose of the safeblowers
TO drag the safe from its position under
the electric light and substitute for 1T the
safe" constructed of cardboard. In the
extension back OF the saloon the safe
could have been drilled and blown with
little danger of the perpetrators being dis
covered.
