Stronq Argument.

Pianos on the instalment principle

a week and torture the neighbors.
AS he knocked gently at n door
he suddenly remembered he had been
here before and received a curt re-
fusal. This time it vas different, says
the New York Mail.
ooh, it's you again, is it?" asked the
housewife cordially. Come in, won't
you?"
Full of hope, he entered and fol
lowed her down a dimly lighted hall.
She threw open a door and he walked
in, to hear the key click sharply in
the lock behind him.
He was locked in a room with five
children, all bowling, who beat even
their own records at the sight of a
stranger.
And the woman resumed her wash
ing.
An hour later she came to his res
cue.

But he had gone before she had fin.

PREYED ON THE DEAD
GREWSOME CALLING FOLLOWED
BY "REsURREcTIoAisTS."
In Great Britain Comparatively a Short
Time Ago Surgeons Paid Well for
Bodies Brought Them for
Dissection.

In the days of the ResurrectiOnists
devised to prevent the n%efarious prac-
tice of body-snatching. Recumbent
stones of huge dimensions were fire.
quently placed over tombs in lonely
churchyards, while burying places
were often made unapproachable by
the erection of massive ratings. The
services of the local blacksmith were
also requisitioned to fasten strong
bars of iron over the collins to pre-
vent the possibility Of the body being
uplifted from it's resting place.
In many churchyards watch houses
were erected, at the door of which
after an interment careful watch and
ward was kept, and not a few tales
were told Of mysterious beings sur
prised in the midst of their ghostly
depredations.
In a few places mort safes or dead
houses were constructed in which the
dead bodies were allowed to remain
several weeks or until such length of
time as they we're no longer service
able for dissecting purposes. An in
teresting specimen of the above is to
be seer in the quaint churchyard at
the ruined Church of Cowie, near
Stonehaven. This was a favorite
haunt of the Resurrectionists from Abb
erdeen.
The corpses were conveyed In dog
carts to the Granite City. With a
view to escape detection the lifeless
figures were clad once more in the
garb of the living and placed on the
conveyance in a sitting posture.
The story is told, says a writer in
the Glasgow News, how on one occa-
sion a party of Resurrectionists
stopped at a wayside inn for refresh
ments, when all partook of the same
at the door of the inn. The innkeep-
er, noticing the silent figure of one
of. their number left alone in the con
veyance, remarked: "Will yer freend
mo- TAX a dram?" Without saying a
word the party instantly mounted and
drove off, leaving mine host, who was
not without his suspicious, to draw
his own conclusions as to the calling
of his visitors.

ULSTER, GARDEN or IRELAND
Writer Pays High Tribute to the
S~cotch-Irish Who Have Made the
Country What II 10.

It would not surprise me in the least
If the late ]. P. Morgan had the blood
of the Ulster-Scot in his veins, as your
correspondent hints at, says the writer
of a letter to the editor of the New
York Tribune. The Scotch-Irish were
even more Scottish than the Scotch
Reconsideration, shrewd, energetic
and thoroughly reliable.
When James vi. of Scotland-James
|. of England-offered facilities for the
settlement of Ulster, thousands of
Scots availed themselves Of the
chance, and by their energy helped to
transform that district into a garden
of ireland.
) Belfast, one of the most peaceful
and prosperous cities in the world, is
nothing more or less than a second
Glasgow.
To Scotland, indirectly, to Ulster d.
rectly, we are indebted for such men
as Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk,
James Buchanan, John G. Calhoun,
Chester A. Arthur, T. A. Hendricks.
Horace Greeley, c. D. McCutcheon,
James G. Blaine, Charles Foster, Sam
uel H. Grey and many others who
helped to make the United States
what she Is today.
Robert Fulton, though an Irishman
of Scottish descent-his father being
forced out of Scotland in Cromwells
time-is scarcely an Ulster-Scot. But,
then. if 1t were not for the Livingston
family, who were descended from the
kings, mobiles and lords of Scotland,
Fulton could never have accomplished
what he did.

"A mill chimney at Darwen, England,

The ownership of the land upon which

PARTNERS IN BUSINESS
ONE WoMAN'S IDEA OF MODERN
COMMUNAL RELATIONS.
Cooperation In the Home She Puts
Forward as a Panacea for MatrI-
moniaI Troubles, and She Is
Experienced.

Since women have come to play so
active a part in the world of work the
necessity has arisen to consider the
home as a business institution" says
Mrs. Ida T. Upshaw, superintendent of
the bureau of domestic relations, con-
nected with the department of chart
ties. Mrs. Upshaw is constantly called
upon to consider other persons domes-
tic troubles, and in many instances
to aid in Strengthening out a family
struggle. So she should be qualified
ITO judge of the elements necessary to
make a successful home.
1T is not necessary in the very poor
homes to advise business co-opera-
tion. In these homes they are obliged
meet. They practice every day strin-
gent domestic economy that they have
Learned by hard experience. 1t is the
homes of the middle class where train
ing Is lacking. The young women
have gone from their schoolrooms
directly to the Office and from the
Office to their new homes as brides.
with responsibilities thrust suddenly
upon them of which they know little
or nothing. Frequently they are pitt
fully ignorant of even the simplest
household economies.
ION the husbands part the begin
ming Is made in just as sad a way.
Not one man out of ten, as a rule, has
the slightest idea of what it costs to
maintain a home, outside of the rent
and, possibly, the gas bill; even in the
latter item he is sometimes far
wrong. The young men come from
homes where things have been taken
care of by a mother, who has learned
her lesson years ago, or from hotel
or boarding house, where problems OF
the house were never presented to
them.
Cooperation is necessary in the
home. When a young husband hands
the wife a certain amount of money
each week for the maintenance of the
family, and she finds it not enough,
the trouble begins, although. the wife
may have done her best. The domes-
tic relations court is continually hear
ing cases based on that trouble.
Housekeeping is the woman's field;
onee upon a time it was her undis-
puted domain. But it would be well
for men to understand the science of
domestic economy. If they did it
would go a long way toward avoiding
domestic wrangles.
The time must come when educa-
tional institutions will recognize that
a business partnership of husband and
wife is necessary; then there will be
taught to men and women alike the
science of domestic economy. 1t will
not only keep their money affairs in
order, but it will hold husband and
wife closer together. The sense of a
common interest in the home has
saved many a family from dissolu-
ton.
ITO caution young married people to
live within their means is proper
enough, but they should at the same
time be taught how to economize."-

Now that the major league baseball
teams are at work down South much
is read by the fans regarding the show
ing made by the young players as field
ers, batsmen and base runners. The
lads who hit a straight ball over the
fence for q home run or who pull down
a fly ball after hard run will get their
names in the headlines.
The plays look good, and as no one
can tell whether the youngsters could
do the same things in championship
games they are given full credit by the
war correspondents for their feats.
Little. though. will be heard for a
time about another class Of players.
These men are the young twirlers who
have been gathered from schools. COL
leges. minor leagues and town lots.
While the infielders and outnelders will
be speeding up their playes in the hope
of catching the eyes of their manager,
the juvenile twiriers will be under

They are just a. anxious to cut
loose as the candidates for other places
on the team. but the veteran catchers
who are looking after their welfare will

His ambition to strike out some star
slugger like a Cobb or a Crawford is

Such tactics always arouse the ire
of the manager or his coach. who has
the particular pitcher in tow. and a
sharp cal-down usually follows.
The desire to show off, though, is
usually so keen among the Juveniles
that they cannot help cutting loose
Many OF them, anxious to make good
in the fast set, have worked outdoors

home to hear of their good work, and
they take chances OF getting a call

A youth who could have Kilroy give

left-hander.
Kilroy took the lad under his wing
and urged him to get his arm over
his shoulder before pitching. Matty
tried time and again, and told just why
the over-arm swing was better than
the side-arm motion.
All the advice fell upon deaf ears.
The fact that the man instructing him
had held a job for two years in the
majors on his head work alone didn't
make any difference

the youngster, and he kept on with his
