THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
WHY MAGGIE QUIT
Chapter xCV.

L
this morning l found everything "up
in the air. as Dick would say.
1 could see that Dad was irritable;
that MoIlie had been crying, and that
Mrs. WaVerly, ST., considered herself
a much abused person. The trained
nurse had left the day before and
poor MoIlie was nearly distracted try
ing to wait on both her father and
mother and oversee the housema1d
and the laundress who works there
every Monday.
When l arrived they we're all at
luncheon and noticed that Maggie,
the maid, had a most belligerent as
pect as she brought in the waffles, OF
which Dad was very fond. Maggie is
a splendid housekeeper and l have
often wondered why she stayed with
the family, for Mrs. Waverly insisted
upon her doing the entire work Of the
house except the washing and she
was allowed very few privileges.
After luncheon Mollie told me Mag
gle was going to leave.
'I cannot do anything with her.

kitchen mechanic the other day and
it's all off.
"'She can get her own kitchen
mechanics said Maggie when l went
out to her. Isn't it meself that has
shaved all through this sickness in the
house and put up with the flippity
ways of that trained nurse and now
because had to leave the bread in
the oven to burn while ran upstairs
to wait on her, she calls me Exit
chen mechanic" It's leavin' am this
day and learnin' the manicure trade
I'll be doin'.'"
Just why the words kitchen me-
chanic" have come to be the badge
of ignoble servitude is unanswerable.
Webster defines a mechanic as
zone who practices any mechanic art,
one skilled in shaping or uniting ma
terials into any kind of structure, ma

called a skilled mechanic and as one
of the most necessary requisites to
the well being of modern life is the
eookstove, why should not the per-
son who uses it Sin shaping and unit
ing materials" into life sustenance be
employed in quite as dignifed an oc-
cupation as the one who has made
the stove.
A skilled mechanic in the kitchen is
perhaps more important than skill
ed mechanic in the shop.
We must all eat to live and that
everyone should be able to do some
thing with the hands is one of the
first commands, of the social econo-
mists. If there is any work of wo-
mans hands that is more important
or even more interesting than the
cooking and. serving Of a well pro-
portioned meal it has not yet been
brought to the welfare of those who
race at heart.
you do be talking mighty fine"
said Maggie when I tried to tell her
this. But it's in the manicure par
lors l can mate nice young men who
would not look at me If told them
it was in kitchen was workin'.
Eye can be the best cook in the
world, but it won't get we anywhere
with young man. He is lookin' fer
the girl whose hair is done in the
latest style and who, can invite her
beau to meet her at the parlor of her
boarding house instead of the back
kitchen door of her employers home.
Thank We just the same, Mrs. Wav-
erly, but Pm not going to be any kind
of mechanic any longer. It's mani
cure artist that I'll be-
There you have it. Thought, after
talking with Maggie, we may have
wonderful high-sounding theories
about all sorts of things in a work
ing woman's life, but after all it re-
solves itself into "the way of man
with maid"

Today for State Offices.

ST. PAUL, June 16.-The heaviest
vote in the history of the state was
predicted here today when voters
focked to the polls to choose their
candidates for the state, legislative
congressional and county offices. Gov
ernor A. O. Eberhart concluded yes
terday a hot speaking campaign dur

portion of the state.
w. E. Lee, candidate for the repub-
lican nomination against Eberhart, is
backed by the anti-machine republic
cans and has attacked the governors
administration as inefficient and
charged Eberhart with being the tool
of the liquor interests. The democrats
are making a choice between w. S.
Hammond and Daniel w. Lawler. Old
time politicians declare Hammond's
popularity will secure him the nomin-
alton.
The progressives are placing their
hopes for success in the November
elections in High T. Halbert, a per-
sonal friend of Colonel Roosevelt.

upon the movement of German ships
in Mexican waters. 1t is strenuously
denied, however, that there is any
understanding between Germany and
Japan regarding Mexican affairs.
There are reasons why one could be-
lieve that the interests of Germany
SO largely placed in Mexico, would
cause sympathy to be felt in Berlin
for Huerta and his government, but
it is not believed that the slightest
hostility would be shown toward the
United States unless some overt step
were taken against German ships IN
Mexican waters
Would Kidnap Royalty.
The suffragettes are not a bit
daunted by the determination of the
English government to take decided
steps to thwart their plans. They
openly declare that they will yet sue
coed in kidnapping one of the royal
princes or some other important per-
sonage, and say that Great Britain can
best stop their outrages by giving
women the ballot. 1t is no secret that
both the king and queen are thorough
ly alarmed over the activities of the
militants. 1t is now almost impossible
to gain any knowledge of the contem-
plated movements of their majesties,
because they do not wish any infor-
nation given out that will allow the
suffragettes chance to annoy them
in their travels.

TYPHOID FEVER.
How it is Brought About, How it is
To Be Avoided.
BY R. R. Daniels.

by II. II. Ddn1elS.
Typhoid fever is germ disease;
it's various symptoms are the result Of
by the thyphoid bacillus. However
just as is the case in all of our COM
mon germ diseases, a breaking down
of the natural disease-resisting power
of the body must precede the actual
disease. While the germ is necessary
to the disease, those things which get
the body in such condition that the
germ may successfully attack it are
also important causes of the disease.
Getting Ready to be Sick.
The man who is going to have ty-
phoid fever in the spring is laying
the ground work fer the disease
months before the attack, during the
winter Typhoid fever originates in
the small institine, hence, we must
look to abuses of that organ as it's
first cause. For months preceding the
attack the typhoid fever victim-to-be
is evereating; he is eating more food
than he can digest and use up; he is
also eating i4digestible foods, too
much fried foods, often too much
sweets. AS a result of these harmful
habits of eating there is more or less
irritation to the small intistine from
the fermentation and putrefaction of
the unusued food.
How the Germ Gets Hold.
AS the spring comes on and the
warm weather makes it impossible
for the body to use up the usual
amount of winter food, the man who
is going to have typhoid fever, fails
to cut down on his heavy foods; thus,
he continually increases the amount
of unusued food in the intestines and
the irritation from the fermenting and
decomposing food. After the intes-
tines and the body at large have been
gotten into a state of lowered resist
ance in this way, the germ is taken

and development, takes up it's abode

How to Avoid the Disease.
We should have pure food and wat

Bile taking germs into the body. But

ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
Stage Being Set for Another Great
Upheaval In the Chinese
Republic.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-All ur
and down the Pacific coast plans are
said to be ripening in the various or
iental colonies for another revolution
in China. The same movement is be-
ing pushed elsewhere throughout the
country but it is on the coast that it
has made the greatest progress. The
campaign is said to be under the gen
eral direction of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who
was first provisional president of the
present republic and was mainly res
ponsible for the revolution which over
threw the Manchus. Sun is in exile
in Japan and President Yuan Shi-kai
is reported to have offered $1,000,000
for his head.
In the United States the agitating is
being done by Y. P. Hsieh, for whom,
dead or alive, Yuan is understood to
have offered 100000. Hsieh has tour
ed the country and processes to have
found strong financial backing. He is
authority for the statement that the
revolt is already simmering in central
China and may be expected to break
out in full violence within the next
few months.
The agitators charge Yuan with hav-
ing undone all the work of the revolu-
ton and established a despotism of his
own under the name of a republic.
Some of them give him credit for be-
ing a sincere believer in despotic
form of government for China but
they say they do not propose to sub
NIT to it merely because he is sincere

TROY WILL CELEBRATE.
viii Have Two Days Good Time
July 8 and 4.

Troy will celebrate July 3rd and 18th.
This is an assured fact as a meeting OF
the business men was held Tuesday
evening and the baseball team which is
at the head of the movement was as
sured of liberal donations for that
purpose. In addition to this the team
has been granted the exclusive privi-
lege of stands and the bowery by tie
city council, and it is the intention to
use practically all the profits from
these concessions and the donations in
entertaining the crowds that will be
here on these two days. The program
will be issued as soon as the different
committees have completed their work.
The first step taken by the program
committee was to secure a speaker,
and Hon. F. L. Moore of Moscow has
promised to fill that number. 1t is
expected that the largest crowd that
ever visited Troy on such an occasion
will be here this year and nothing
will be left undona to make it the
best celebration ever held in "The

LONDON, June 1.-THE presence of
former President Roosevelt of the
United States in Europe this week is
perhaps the biggest news note of the
week. Europe is paying, if possible,
more attention to Col. Roosevelt than
1t did when he returned from his
famous hunting trip in Africa. Ger
tainly London regarded him in more
friendly way, because it will be re-
membered that in his last visit he said
things about conditions in Egypt that
the English people did not relish at
all. They are now, however, exceed
indy interested in his Brazilian ex-
periences and from the reception he
got, it is positive that there are not
many in England who doubt word
that Col. Roosevelt has to say regard
ing the matter.

tain newspapers still refer to him as
the man who fought the Spaniards as
