Much credit is due the Lady Maccebees for their promptness in which they paid the death benefit of Mrs. Joseph Hayes, it being but a few weeks after her death when the claim was paid, which shows that the order is progressive and "reliable.

Many physicians from Chicago and different parts of Indiana are expected to be present. RUNNING FARM WITHOUT WORK. Not Quite That, But a Creek Does Many Things by Electricity. A progressive farmer in New York state heralds the era of kid glove farming, according to the Technical World Magazine. He has made laziness a success, and can now do his farm work without a backache. There is a little creek running through his farm. This he has harnessed and forced to run a dynamo, which in turn gives light and heat for the house and outbuildings. But Mr. Miner was not satisfied with his accomplishment. The hardest task" about the farm, the one which everyone most dreaded, was turning the milk separator at a speed of 7,400 revolutions per minute. This had been done by hand. So Mr. Miner installed a motor which turned the milk separator every morning and evening satisfactorily wifjut any hard labor on the part of the progressive farmer. The next job to be hitched up to the new horse was turning the big barrel churn. Then came the grindstone which is the farm hand's bugbear during the harvest season. The millstream was next made to pump the water for household use up to the roof, where there was a large res ervoir for storing it. But wood had to be used' for the cookstove, and the sled-length logs had to be cut down, so a circulr aaw was added to the outfit and a new use was thus found for the electric current. An Easy Matter. The nan was playing euchre with the latest belle of the Mountain house, while his bride of three months was trying to busy her mind as well as her fingers with a piece of embroidery. Suddenly the husband turned toward the wife with a patronizing air. "Pardon me," he exclaimed; "I hadn't noticed that I was between you and the lljrtit!" "Oh, pray don't more!" the litt'.e woman replied, "I can see through you perfectly wellJ" LlCDincott'a-

ModernW oman Figures Show Women Are Growing Taller and Stronger News Items Show They Are Becoming More Courageous and Capable

Mr. Karl Pearson has been making a comparison between mothers and their grown daughters in the matter of stature. He measured some thousands of young women and their mothers. He finds that the daughters are on an aver age an iuch and a half taller than their mothers. And there are three times as many tall daughters as tall mothers. Such is the Increase in height a genera tion has brought about in the feminine sex. Modern woman is taller, longer of arm, stronger of bone and better developed in muscle than her sex was even one generation ago. But that is not all. Mr. Pearson measured men as well as women. He obtains the somewhat startling result that in stat ure woman is gaining rapidly on man, and if the increase in height continues she will even go past him and tower above him in a few generations more. Good habits of living, liberty, fresh air, physical culture and healthful dress. especially the cessation of so much tight, lacing, have done all this for woman in a comparatively few years. In connection with this I may call at tention to the following news item: "With his face bruised and neck all scratched and his manner very dejected, John Wimple, charged with bur glary, was arraigned In the police court today, and near by stood Mrs. Matilda Volker, a tall, good looking woman, who, finding Wimple stealing lead pipe out of a vacant store underneath her apartments, choked him, threw him down, beat him and held him for the police." If this thing keeps up An elevator boy tells the reporter of a Cleveland paper that loads of women ride up and down in the "lifts" of big office buildings just to look Into the mirrors and find out if their hats are on straight. Writes Mr. T. McDonald Rendle: "I hare no sympathy with those trashy, self appointed dissectors of woman's emotions continually writing about the fair sex, as if its members were human curiosities, like the living skeleton." Good, Mr. T. McDonald Rendle! Another step toward freedom for wo men In England! They may now have all the rights and privileges of men at Oxford university, except that of receiving degrees. Oxford is the last stiff necked stronghold of educational old fogyism in England. As to the de grees never mind. They will come all in good time. In Illinois women have the right to vote for members of the board of trus tees of the state university. Why do not women of means and high social standing Imitate the exam pie of Mrs. Clarence Mackay at her country place, Roslyn, N. Y., and take a living interest in the Improvement of the public schools? Mrs. Mackay, with millions at her command, finds the pub lie schools, of which she is a trustee. elected by the people, good enough to send her own daughter to as a pupil. Many of the most fashionable women of the so called highest society of London have adopted the fashion of riding astride even in Hyde park. A duchess is among them. It looks as if the side saddle is going out. Take note you who nave a voca tion for the care of the sick and suffer ing. Trained nurses are so scarce in Washington that there is a real lack of them both for private families and In hospitals. There is no reason why college women and those of the high est refinement should not become trained nurses. Their profession is a thoroughly honorable one. "When you want anything from a man you must flatter him," says Miss Eleanor Smith. "The thicker you spread it on the better he likes it" Arthur Jones is a brave man, but a nervous one, and the prospect of a big church wedding, with all its heavyweight ceremonies, its fuss and feath ers and vulgar publicity, so scared him that he persuaded his sweetheart to steal away and be married privately three weeks before the big wedding. which, of course, did not then take place. Delicate nerved lovers who decline to be wedded amid a blare of trumpe.t3 are increasing in number. sit up ana rate notice: A woman now holds the world's record for moun tain climbing. She is Mrs. Fanny Bul lock Workman of Massachusetts. In the Num. Kun range of the Himalayas she ascended a peak 23,150 feet high If there has to be a champion mountain climber, one Is glad it is a woman. Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos has been appointed assistant United States attorney in New York city. Mrs Quackenbos is a lawyer who has been specially interested in the investiga tion of labor abuses. What she has achieved other women maj achieve, each In some special line. The womau who studies for a profession, even the legal one, and sticks to it with enthu siasm will at length win out.
