"'Once Confederate always Con-

Of strife he regarded himself as an
alien in the restored Union, and re-
fused to vote or to exercise any of the
duties of a citizen.
When the war with Spain broke
out, however, the old fire burned in
his eye, and he offered no objection
when his son, stalwart specimen of
young manhood, Joined the national
army and went to Cuba to fight.

Many Women at Work,

Prof. Edward A. Ross says that
there are about 100000 women en-
gagged in gainful occupations in the
United States, and that the number is
increasing much more rapidly than
the general population. The factory
has taken everything out of the home,
he says, except the preparing of food
and the rearing of children. About
one-third of the single women of the
country between fifteen and twenty
five are engaged in occupations out
side of their homes, and in the city
so per cent, so that nearly half the
women in the country are at work, but
between twenty-five and thirty-five
only one-fifth of the number are at
work outside the homes, most Of them
being married.

SISTERS TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.

How q sister played trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend
is an interesting tale:
Il was a coffee fiend--a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. Knocked at Postum and
would have none of 1t.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. I noticed the richness
of it and remarked that the coffee
tasted fine but my sister did not tell
me l was drinking Postum for fear l
might not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she mad given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time ! became disciple
of Postum and no words can do jus.
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. I will not try to tell it,
for only after having used 1t can one
be convinced of its merits"

Ten of Crack Three Year Olds of the Country to Go to the Post ut
 Churchill Downs Track

Louisville, ky, May 9.-At least ten and possibly twelve, of the crack three year olds of the country are eX- pected to go to the post at Churchill Downs track here this afternoon in the fortieth annual Kentucky Derby The heavy rain of yesterday and last night made the track muddy, and, ac- cording to horsemen, precluded the possibility that the record of 2:04 4-5 for the Derby at mile and a quar- ter, made by Donerail, last years win ner, would be broken.
 Of the ten entries which their own- CTS have declared aSc certain to start. five are colts. three geldings and two Allies. The Kentucky Derby never has been won by lilly and only three geldings have been victorious, the last being Macbeth IT. in 1888. The purse for today's race, with $1O.OOO added, will aggregate. about $13,5OO, of which approximately $1O,000 goes to the winrer.

$2O,OOO DAMAGE CAUSED
 BY FIRE AT PUTNAM
Union Block Threatened With Des- trllction By Blaze Which Started
 Among Paints and Oils.

Putnam, Conn, May 9.-Union block which is just north of the rail- road station here, was the scene of an early morning fire today which caused losses aggregating $2O,0 For a time it was thought the entire structure which is the largest busi- ness one in town, would be entirely consumed, but the firemen were for tunate in getting streams of water at play quickly upon the heart of the blaze. A railroad man who was at the railroad station at 3:10 o'clock noticed a bright light under the hard ware store of Chandler and Morse. in the Union Block.
 The firemen in responding found that the fire was in the cellar. Dense clouds of smoke rolled out of the windows. This came from quantities of paints and oils in the cellar among which the fire is thought to have started spontaneously. The fire was held at that end of the building and the greater portion of the loss falls upon the hardware firm. It had a stock estimated to be worth $25,- 900. The damage to it will reach $15,OOO.
 Other tenants who had smoke and water damage were F.. T. Tucker. gro- cer; F. M. Barnes. merchant tailor; Lauretta Allard, milliner; pr. A. H. Strachan. dentist; the Putnam Pa triot, and the post office. The build ing, owned by the Union Block com pany, was not materially damaged. Losses are covered by insurance.

The reason why warrants were asked for was that these parents have refused to have their children N,ccinated against smallpox.
 The city attorney held that as tNe parents sent their children, who are healthy and physically in good con dition, to school regularly they vio- lated no law. The children have been sent home from school every day when they appeared. Their parents have persisted in refusal to have them vaccinated.

noon. Scat! Any woman who
takes that attitude is inspired not
by love, but by the spirit of do
nestle tyranny. She's determined
to make an unwilling man go
with her Just to show that she
can triumph over him.
However, compromise is a good
thing in matrimony, as It is else
where in the world, and 1t has al
ways seemed to me that it would
be a good way to settle this
question for the wife to demand
and receive cooks privilege Of
an evening off every week. 1t
wouldn't hurt a man either in
health or pocket to give his wife
one little treat a week, and 1t
would freshen and brighten her
up amazingly. and keep her from

AS Thursday is the maids day
out so lot Saturday night be sa-
cred with husbands to the enter

evening let them take their wives
to the theater, or to a restau-

a bit of party. It would break
the deadly grind of domesticity
for the women and rob them of
their cause of complaint.
For, after all, marriage is no
picnic to a woman, and just being
married to a man isn't all the
amusement she requires. Nor is
1t exciting to spend all your even
ings sitting up looking at man
who is as dumb as an oyster and
as unresponsive as a clam.

Tho wife wants a change from
the surroundings and the things
she's been doing all day, just as
the man wants a change from
what he has been doing all day.

these two desires are diametrical-

these quarrels and reproaches

The man complains: My wife
is never satisfied unless she is
gadding about at night.
The woman walls: My husband
is never willing to take me out

And both feel that they are very

from their individual standpoint,
and both are utterly and entirely
SELFISH, because edCn refuses 10

Certainly the man who has
been on a terrific strain all day
that taxed body and brain to the
very breaking point is entitled
to a quiet evenings rest at home
in which to build himself up to
meet the strenuous struggle Of
the next day. He needs 1t. What

No man whose wife drags him
around OF evenings to theaters

who comes to his work with
