WOMEN DID 1T.

The eight-hour-day movement out
in Idaho received a strong impetus
when some prominent club women
took hand in the campaign. The
manufactures in joking mood said:
Slime but if women in factories work
but eight hours day, why not let the
hired girls in your kitchens off at
eight hours?"
Not in the least embarrassed the
women spoke up in a hurry and
replied: "That's right, went home

hours a day was long enough for any

OFTEN COMES TRUE.

The Tragedy of the American Beauty
rose is that the man who created IL
for the famous garden of George
Bancroft, the historian, became beg
gar on the streets of Washington, and
the secret which he had jealously con-
cealed for many years is now available
for all who wish it, says an exchange.
When the gardener who developed
this popular flower was offered res
pectable sums of money for tn e
product of his skill he declined them,
though he was in deep poverty,
because he dreamed of colossal for
tune; but his wife's endurance was
strained to such point that she dis
posed of it for comparative pittance.
When her husband learned this he
sank beneath the intoierable trial of
his patience and went adrift on the
streets. It is said thst for the past
ten years not less than twenty-five
million dollars have been spent an
nually for American Beauty roses in
all parts of the world.

AS result OF this movement the
eight hour factory law has gained
much Roadway and the women are
finding it very much easier TO get and
to keep domestic help. Thus a big,
two-edged reform is being effected;
the eight hour law which has at stake
the health and morality of women
and children and of future generations;
and the many sided servant problem,
at the door of which is laid the respon-
sibility, not only Of many RUNE d
lives but of ruined health, domestic
service ranking second in its number
of tube1cular victims.
The experiment is an interesting one
and shows too that women have a
keen sense of humor which is nothing
more than saying they have 8 little
common sense which they are willing
to put into practice. Madison Jour
