T was so ashamed" said the young woman in the taffeta dress after the callers had gone. when Mrs. Benks asked if I helped in our garden and had to admit that I did every sin gle bit of it and you didn't raise your finger."
 Admit" quoted the other half of the sketch with vast irony. Why. choked to death in your haste to pub fish your wrongs to the world! You waved banners and turned on a reg ular brass band so nobody would miss the announcement" I'm glad you're ashamed!" said his wife. You ought to be! Any strong, healthy man who will sit and smoke and let his wife break her back gar dening because she is trying to be patriotic and save money as well should just crawl off in a corner and hide. He"
 'But I'm not ashamed," her hus- band corrected. T remember just as we'll back in the merry springtime when you said you should be so glad to have a garden because then you would get outdoors more and the fresh air and exercise would be so benefcia1--'
 ''It makes no difference!" said the young woman in the taffeta gown. Its the principle of the thing. Do you suppose I like to have other wo men pitying me and acting glad that their husbands aren't like mine? Why, you should have seen Mrs. Benks when she told me that MT. Benks gets up at a. m. to attend to their garden, She was perfectly hateful about it! I know my face got red. was so embarrassed! She added that MT.

 Well. Oscare did spade!'' said the young woman in the taffeta dress, mutinously 'But if he hadn't been there to do it, and you wouldn't. why I should have had to do it myself shouldn't I? So it amounts to ex actly the same thing. It's just as bad as though you had sat by and watched me do it, And I know Mrs. Benlss thought SO.

harder at the underwater boats than they have been striking. There is need for employing every patrolling agency but there is also need of de- livering a staggering blow at the bases of the sub-sea boats and repeat ing them as often as Is required in order to increase the difficulty of their maintenance. The importance of such operations cannot be overlooked. The U-boats are not keeping up to expec- tations but they are consistently at work and the quicker that menace can be reduced to an ineffective point the quicker the war will be brought to an end

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Tn d considerable area of Massa- chusetts the copper cent, one of the most unpopular of coins, is coming into general use again. But this does not mean that people are using it be- cause they like it. They are obliged to have the copper pennies on the street railroads on which six-cent fares were approved by the Public Service Commission. An idea of the demand for the cent coins may be formed from the statement that the Massa chu setts electrlcs supplied it conductors with 1,500,9 cent pieces for use recently, when the new fare schedule went into effect.-Providence Bulletin.
 The last legis,a ture amended the motor vehicle laws relative to the use of glaring headlights, and the law went into effect July 1. The major ity of auto owners have compiled chased lights that have been endorsed Dy the motor vehicle department, or have fixed their old lights so that the glare is eliminated.
 However, there are hundreds of mo- tor cars that still have the old lights in defiance of the statute.

South Dakota Mines.

South Dakota mines in 1918 pro- duced s7.460, 4s9 in gold, 215,2O1 ounces of silver. and 35,40s pounds of lead. with a total value of $7,604,554, which was a small increase over the pro- duction of 1915 and the Jargeet output since 1912 The output for the first six months of 1917. according 10 Charles w. Henderson, of the United States Geological Survey, indicates that for the whole year 1917 there will probably be a reduction of i2oo,- 900 in gold, as the Wasp No. and the New Reliance mines and mills. both closed at the end of 1916. were idle during the first six months of 1917 and probably will not resume opera tions during this year. Work vih probably not be resumed at the Bis mar rcl mine and mill, idle since 1914. The high price of machinery, zinc. and chemicals necessary in the cyanide process and reduction of the cyanide precipitates to bullion may force some of the other properties to close be- fore the end of 1917. The HomeStake mines and mills. which produce the bulk of the production of the Black Hills district, South Dakota, have been operated continuously. with a regular output. during the six hrst months of 1917, and unless the labor situation interferes will probably con- tinue steadily throughout the year.

Whether this appeal will have any effect now is q question, but sentiment has had lot to do with other murder cases in which women have been concerned. The women of Connecticut are not only splendldly protected by the laws of the commonwealth. but there Is chivairous attitude which gives them the best of things. especially if they are involved with the law. 4 woman has more chance to win n lawsuit than a man, all other things being equal and she is bound to get the begt of ar engagements when they are left to the judgement of one man or a body of them.

BOOST SCOTCH .
Three Burns Players Real Big
League Performers.
Smith and Jones Families Cam
not Boost as Much.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. July 13.-The good old
family trees of the Smiths and the
Joneses have been pretty well repre-
scented in baseball for a number of
years. But neither the Smiths nor
the Joneses have ever been able to
claim the distinction of having three
sprouts from their family trees in the
major league spotlight at one time,
such as the family Burns claims today.
Three major league stars who are
in the midst of their baseball careers
represent the old Scotch family. They
are George ]. Burns, Clan outfielder;
Eddie Burns, Philly catcher, and
George Burns, first baseman, of the
Detroit Tigers. Every one of this trio
is a star, and unless the wa claims
one or all of them, or injuries inter-
fere with their baseball activities the
Burns trio will be good for some years
to come in the big show.
Geo. Burns Greatest.
George Burns, of the Giants, has
often been rated as the greatest all
around outfielder in the National
League, and of the three he is per-
haps the most valuable player. So
far this year his fielding and throwing
have been superb, and he is keeping
in the race for batting honors. Hughie
Jennings recently declared that of all
the stars in the Giant constellation
Burns stands out as the BRIGHTEST, and
this. coming from the famous Tiger
manager, is some tribute.

PhiIly Burns Steady.

Eddie Burns, second catcher with
the Phillies, is now in his fourth full
season as a member of the Quaker
town club, and altho an injury early
in the season kept him back, he is
considered one of the most valuable
players on Pat Moran's team. Eddie
is a glutton for work. and if it wasn't
for the fact that Moran has a star
in Bill Killifer, Eddie would get all
and perhaps more work than he could
handle. The Philly backstop isn't as
heavy a sticker as the other two rep
resentatives of the Burns family, but
he makes up for it in every other way
You've gotta hand the Burns family
