Provkfe Far Old Age
Here in Xxample of Basy Uvhg
is Baety Year. With Aged
Cesple ia Wt
By Blla Wheeler WHIeex.
IN ONE of the greater cities of Amer
ica lives a woman who has passed
the half century mark and retained
the name of "a good woman." She has
broken no commandment; she has never
been "talked about"; she has been amia
ble; she has been charitable toward the
poor. Yet the sins of omission of this
good woman have been formidable.
In early youth she married an ambi
tious and studious young man.
He was bent upon making a name
for himself among the professional men
of his native state.
He studied hard; he worked harder;
and he suceeded in placing his name
beside those of older men of his chosen
profession.
He established a home; and he pros
pered in a financial way.
But, being a busy professional man,
lie had no time or strength to give out
side of his own domain.
. The home he left to the care of his
wife.
The wife left ito to the care of serv
ants. She never knew what food was coming
on her table; she knew nothing of what
came into her home, or went out of iti
otttimes suplying the tables of her em
ployes. She took no care of the home provided
by her husband's money; she took no
interest in his work other than feeling
an abstract pride that he was a success
ful man.
She lived a life utterly devoid of any
sense of obligation.
She read the newspapers, but never a
book of any literary value. She did not
study or think; she just drifted through
life.
She wore auch garments as her dress
maker told her to wear; and sent the
bills to her husband to pay. She was
not extravagant in dress, but her clothes
carried no distinction, and as they were
not well selected, or well cared for, they
soon seemed shabby.
The husband prospered so well during
his middle life that he did sot worry
over the financial situation, believing
that he would be able to weather all
gales which might blow over life's sea.
He wished his wife were different;
but being a kind-hearted American hus
band, he did not rise up in righteous in
dignation and insist upon her doing her
part.
An only child married and went to
distant lands to dwell.
The father fell ill, mad, after a long
sickness, found himself unable to work
as hard as of old.
Then the neglect of the home began
to show.
There was nothing from cellar to attic
v. hich was in order.
It required large outlays of money to
restore the ravages of neglect and time.
And before the man and wife reached

the age of 60 they found themselves in
troubled financial seas.
Both looked prematurely old; the man
from overwork and worry, and the wo
man from an idle, inactive life.
There was no bright prospect for them
of a restful and peaceful and comfortable
old age.
The man had never spent any money
in riotous living. He had never been a
club man, or given to extravagant habits.
He had simply erred by being too
patient as a husband, and by not over
seeing the home, and insisting upon the
co-operation of his wife in making their
future safe, by sane and sensible meth
ods of housekeeping.
This is not a solitary case.
There are many women in America
lieving they are good wives and ad- !
mirable women, who are doing just what
this woman did sinning through the
sins of omission, and failing to use the
greatest of all opportunities which God
can give a woman, that of making her
home a successful experiment in an imi
tation of Eden.
Order was heaven's first law; every
home must be built on the foundation
of order; system mnst be the first law
in its management; love and- enthu
siasm must furnish the fuel with which
to keep its altars ablaze with happiness
and prosperity and comfort, and free
dom from debt.
There is no greater, work on earth fot
a woman to do. But how many such
home makers and home keepers do you
know among your acquaintances I

He was shot in the leg and crippled for
life when he -was captured.
Conn's record includes prison sen

PROSECUTOR SAYS
I WHITE SUE GASES; RESIGNS
John L. McNab Quits Office at San Francisco, After Re
ceiving Instructions From Department of Justice at
Washington to Postpone Action in the Diggs
Caminetti White Slavery Prosecution.
San Francisco. Calif.. June 1. .
United States district attorney John I
McNab announced today that he has
resigned his office. The resignation
follows an exchanae of telegrams with
Washington regarding the condition of
the local federal prosecutor's office.
McNab's resignation, the acceptance
of which he requests by wire, is con
tained in a long telegram to president
Wilson. McNab says in the message
that he feels forced to resign because
of orders from the attorney general
tying his hands in the prosecution of
the Diggs-Caminettl white slave cases
and the indictments against officials
of the Western Fuel company.
He states he received orders to post
pone action in these cases by telegraph
yesterday and in spite of his protest
and statement to the attorney general
that efforts to tamper with govern
ment witnesses in the cases had been
made.
"In bitter humiliation of spirit" the
message says. "I am. compelled to
acknowledge what I have heretofore
indignantly refused to believe, namely
that the department of Justice is yield
ing to influence which will cripple and
destroy the usefulness of law."

BUILD BOAT TO

Pecos, Texas, June 81. J. L. Bar-
rlngton and J. C. Arnold, two Peco
carpenters who jointly own and work a
small farm east of Pecos, on the bank
f the river, had a thrilline- experience.
j when they waked to find their house
The men attempted to ride out and
then to drive out through the water,
which was about three feet deep, but
their horses bogged down in the soft
mud where their plowed ' fields were.
They then tried wading, and found that
they, too. bogged until it was impos
sible to make their way. There re
mained but to go out in a boat, and
friends, fearing that there would be
another rise in the river that might
carry the two men away, constructed
a small boat in Pecos, and brought the
marooned farmer-carpenters .to safety.
Their crops will probab.y be a total
loss.
The levees along the river north of
Pecos have held against the strain,
and it is thought that they will not
break over, since the river is not ex
pected to rise further, unless additional
rains fall above here.
The T. P. track men are still guard
ing the bridge over the Pecos jealously.
Several times the approaches have been
threatened by the water which broke
through gorher holes in the bank, but
the force of men has been sufficient to
handle the situation at all times.
Rains have been reported over the
country.

APPROPRIATION
NOT AUTHORIZED
Attorney General Advises That Craaty
Ommhwdaaers Are Without Author
ity to Bay Mtae Seheel SHe.
The county commissioners are with
out authority to make an appropriation
for the purchase of a site for the El
Paso School of Mines, according to the
opinion of the attorney general's de
partment, at Austin, Tex., received Sat
urday morning by county judge A. S.
J. Eylar. The opinion was written by
C W. Taylor, assistant attorney gen
eral, and approved by the department
in executive session. The opinion was
prompted by a letter written to the at
torney general by county judge Eylar.
The plan of a number of citizens of
El Paso was to have the county make
an appropriation for the purchase of
the El Paso Military institute and then
for the ground to be donated for the
School of Mines. Judge Eylar was un
able to find any provision of law au
thorizing the county commissioners to
make such an appropriation and so
wrote the attorney general. A petition
now being circulated will be presented
to the coram. ssioners asking for the
appropriation. When this is done, the
opinion of the attorney general will 1
read to the petitioners. Just what will
be the final plans adopted for the
establishment of the School of Mines is
not yet decided on.
The law "creating the school provides
that It is to be established in or near
El Paso if the citizens will execute a
deed to the state to a tract comprising
21 acres o land.
TWO HELD ON CAT

Saturday morning justice of the

of theft of cattle. The bonds of GuaJ
errama and Dominguez were placed at
3500 each, and that of Hill at $250.
The cattle alleged to have been stolen
were claimed by J. H. Mehl, of JunU,
Calif., who testified In the examining
trial that he had purchased them and
placed them in a pasture 20 miles
northeast of El Paso. There were 81
head, he said. A roundup, he said,
started two weeks ago disclosed the fact
that he was minus 50 head. Deputy
sheriff W. H. Garlick testified that he
saw Guaderrama and Hill on June ;
