and home, and babies and went back
to her own mother.
Whcrcupon her husband promptly
had her arrested and brought before
the Domestic Relations Court.
ut isn't that ] don't love my babies,
Judge the girl said in defending herself,
but my husband was always scolding
me about spending SO much money ON
the housekeeping, and complaining that
wasn't good manager, and accusing
me of being idle. So l Just went away
and left him with the house and the
children to look after so he could find
out for himself how much it costs TO
buy babies milk and food, and all the
other things it takes 10 run q home. And
how much work there is in taking care
of two little children, and doing the
cooking, and washing, and cleaning and
mending for family
About million other women will feel
like chipping in and building a monu-
ment to this intrepid Young creature who
has had the courage to do the thing that
they have contemplated doing a ihous-
and times, and lacked the nerve to do
and that is to show their husbands
what a woman's work really Is.

herself in the chase as he had to do.

being o husky lady with red hair, and
wolf teeth, she threw the first handy
thing at his head, and told him generally
where he got off with that line Of talk.
But, anyway, that's q little family
drama that is enacted in. practically
every household in the world every day
in the year. For the great majority of
men still labor under the delusion that
every woman who is domestic woman
leads life of Sybaritic ease, and that
! taking care of colicky babies, cooking
meals, and sweeping floors is simply the
diversion of an idle hour Far, far differ
ent from the hard work they do This
masculine attitude towards housework is
shown in the fact that the Census
Report does not include home keeping
women among working women.

upon the corner OF the ceiling, the blue
smoke curling UP from him, silent, mo-

Tho story thus far.

The story thus far: :.
One night DR.. Watson. made his
way into an opium den IN search oi
q friend who was there, and noticed
sitting among the habitues OF the
place a stopped old man. As he passed,
the old man spoke to him, revealing
himself as Sherlock Holmes and asked
Watson to wait outside for him.
This DR.. Watson did, and Holmes
asked him to 90 with him TO Lee, In

ing wife, two children and plenty OF
money. But he had disappeared the
Monday before. This was Friday: Every
dav he went to the city to attend to the
several companies in which he was IN
tercsted. though he had no regular
business. On Monday his wife had been
called to town for an express package, and
on leaving the express office had seen
her husband, without collar, bcckon
wildly TO her from a window. over the
opium den. He had then suddenly dis
appeared rs if he had been jcrked back
out of sight. She ran in, but the Lascar
scoundrel who kept the opium den
wouldn't let her 60 upstairs. She got the
police. They went up. There was no one
IN the room but horrible cripple, we'll
known beggar, who made his home there.
He denied all knowledge OF st: CLAIR
However, on table was box of blocks
such as st. Clair had promised to bring
homo for his children
On looking about they found traces
of blood on the window-slll overlooking
the river, at the back. Behind curtain
were st. Glars clothes. The cripple, a
hideous fellow with a twisted hip, scar
from eve to chin, and rough shock OF
orange hair, denied all knowledge of the
disappearance. He was, however, locked
up. When the tide went out st. CLAIR S
coat. weighted with pockets full OF
pennies, was found in the mud OF tho
river-bcd.
Holmes had been able to find nothing
more. When he and Watson arrived
at The Ccdars, st. Glars house, the,

es the reactionary Watson as "India-
mas own gifted son, statesman and
matchless orator." with a pean of
praise for the record of the reaction
airy Republican leaders in Congress.
In the case of Clifford Pinchot, one
of his first acts after being assured
of his nomination was to ask Attor-
ney General Alter, his opponent in

sinister element in the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, including the
contractors combine against which
Mr.. Pinchot presumably was waging
war, to conference to arrange for
the support at the polls of the ele-
ment he was pretending to fight in
the primaries.
Mr.. Pinchot's attitude was we'll de-
fined by John A. McSparren, Demo-
crat candidate for governor, when he
said:

the party machinery for use in 1924.
The men and women who voted for
Mr.. Beveridge in Indiana and for Mr..
Pinchot in Pennsylvania, were I'M
questionably sincere in the belief
that they were voting for progressive
principles and policies of government
in some instances or registering a
protest against the reactionism of the
present Republican Congress and the
administration, in others.
Mr. Beveridge is no sooner nomi-
mated than Senator James E. Watson
of unenviable notoriety in the Null

firm the purchase Of seat in the
United States Senate occupied by
Truman H. Newberry, who is exploit
ing the infamous Profiteers' Tariff
bill as the perfection of Republican
economic legislation, who openly adj
vocates in the Senate return to the
corrupt spoils system of making Fed
eral appointments, and who rushed
headlong to the defense of Attorney
General Daugherty, is selected to
make the keynote speech of Mr.. Bev-
eridge's campaign. Not only this
but Mr.. Beveridge appears upon the

ka. 1t will be their aim to cater to
the best people of Pa!atka. Sunday
school and lodge picnics will be given
extra inducements to make this the
place of their outings.
Luncheons and afternoon teas will
be served to parties of from eight to
sixteen. Such parties will make ar
engagements with Mrs. Geo. Davis in
Palatka. A special feature will be
made of Thursday and Sunday night
suppers. Menus will be published.
The park will be open until 1920
p. NJ, but no unchaperoned evening
parties. No cards or dancing on
Sunday.
The park to begin will consist of
bath houses, restaurant, shade pa
vilions and public dining pavilions.
Free camping grounds and swimming
for Boy and Girl Scouts on week
days except Thursday afternoon and
evening. Work on buildings was
started Thursday, June the 8th, and
is to be completed by the Fourth of
July. Bath houses are being built
first, so there will be swimming by
next Thursday.
There is to be a regular bus to the
park, leaving the courthouse, time to
be published later.
