s 4 ' I wacaaaiai MORAL SUPPORT AT HOME. I Lave over and over again seen In Ktanccs of breakdown in young Hople, wulcb by Judicious management, moral and physical, on tlie part of the moth er, could have Ihu averted. I know of no clre'jaistaneeH whlcb so deeply af-j feet the nervous health and the" bapiii liess, prenent and future, of the child as the intimate domestic relations with the parent. It seems poKfdlile for most children to l)ear a great deal of dis appointment outside of the domestic life when they feel sure of moral sup port at home. We hear so much of young girls not being understood In their homes that we are apt to make light of mid rail It a foolish whim, and often without Injustice; but, on the other band, It Is equally true that fretfulness, obstina cy, caprielousuess, unwise ambitions and fitfulness are often rather the out come of disordered nervous systems than the manifestations of badly bal anced character. Now It Is that the mother often fails to understand exactly how to treat the child, and Is too likely to make mis takes, which frequently come perilous ly near being !d ami Irrevocable ones. It is essential that she learn to dis criminate between what Is really per Terseness on the one hand and the re sult of upset nerves on the other; for, while the former requires moral cor rection, the latter demands a different care. The physical, as well as the moral conditions needs attention. John H. V. ItTieln, M. I)., in Harper's Bazar. Hhe troves Work.

She Is of wealthy parentage and Is study ing the vocation for pure love of the work. She will finish the many courses of Boston's famous school for engi neers In another year and has been offered a position In the big Cramp shipbuilding concern at Philadelphia as naval constructor.

No one who Is not doing It all the time knows the amount of physical la bor and the many steps required to get ven a comparatively simple dinner. That Is to say nothing alxiut clearing up after It. which Is another matter. Then to get a dinner and try to sit down to It with guests doubles the la bor. It I much easier for tile maid who serves It, clears up things as she goes along, and then quietly ents her dinner later and do'c not mix with her effort to hare - everything properly served an attempt to say the right thing at the right moment to each of her guests. It has been said and recorded as a trnnge fact that the great cooks are always men, and cooking is supposed to be particularly In woman's sphere. One very good reason for this failure In women to reach the highest place Is that the great cook adds to his other obllltles that of strength, and It Is an essential requirement. The best cor don bleu without It cannot equal him. Wr Your Drew Pelt. It l always more courteous lu a man to pay a young lady you have Invited to go to the theater the compliment of wearing your drtos suit, for she will undoubtedly take the trouble to wear a rather inarir gown than her ordi nary afreet cottume, aayi tua New York Herald. There are a great many reasons why Jt may not be possible for you to wear a dress suit. You may not have time, or you may not be In the habit of wearing one, but If you are In the habit of wearing one It cer tainly would seem very strange to choose this opportunity for not wearing It, and undoubtedly the y6uiigTady would be very much pleased If you did so.

One great advantage that they have Is ft number of slaves In at tendance, who save them the trouble of picking up their bnlls.

Brass trays are kept In order by slm ply washing them In boiling hot soda soapsuds and then lathering them wen a little soap being used If they art very dirty. One way of cleaning them Is to sift fine brlckdust till It Is very flue powder.

Events of the past few weeks In this city tend to rudely shatter the romance which was started In Lincoln In July, 1901, when Governor Savage handed a pardon to Benjamin Vaek, a convict sent up rrom some western county on a charge of perjury, the conditions being that h? marry Mrs. Mary Hilvaty, a widow of this city who petitioned the governor's per sonally to grant the man's release. The marriage took place In the capi tal city and aCter the ceremony was completed the governor handed the1 bride an unconditional pardon for her husband. The marriage was not without Its interesting features, (he widow being possessed of property to the estimated value of $40,000, most of It In Richardson county real estate. Most people thought the ex-convlct most fortunate In droppiogon such a comfortable berth. The couple at once came to Dawson and took up their residence, and for a time mat ters ran along smoothly, the happy bride purchasing a barber shop and fixtures for her busbad who worked at his trrHe a short time, afterwards becomln, HlsatlsBed and selling out. There were twochldren, the fruits of the widow's former alliance, and when It came to the matter of gov erning the youngsters the first cloud appeared upon the matrimonial horl- son. The stepfather insisted upon correcting the boy and girl and, ac cording to the story told by the wife, was not always particular whether he chose humane methods or not. Tbe wife rebelled and Valek turned his attention to her with the result that he was a few months ago hauled into police court and fined on a charge of wlfe-beatlng. Not po- sossiDg the necessary funds he was thrown Into Jail and remained until the wife relented and paid. Last week more trouble of the same kind came up and they seperated, the wife filing application In district court for a divorce. Valek is a man of nice appearance and seems to bo well edu cated.

They were kept ad vised of the girl's condition and wsre telegraphed Saturday to come to Kearney at owe If they would see their daughter alive.

CALLED HIM BEAST. MRS. BARTHOLIN KNEW HER SON WAS FULL OF EVIL. Chicago. Aug. 23. The coroner's Jury at the Inquest Thursday over the body of Mrs. Anna Bartholin brought in a verdict recommending that her son William Bartholin, be arrested and held as principal for her murder, aud that Oscar Thompson and Edward Counselman, who are under arrest accused of complicity in the murder of Minnie Mitchell, be held to the grand jury as accessories to tbe crime. The Jury found that Mrs. Bartholin- came to her death en or about July 7, death being due to strangulation. During the inquest, Mrs. May Brown, a former neignbor of Mrs. Bartholin, testified that the old lady was suspicious ,and lived in deadly fear of her son. According to Mrs. Brown's testimony, Mrs. Bartholin in a conversation a few days befoie her death had told the witness thai young Bartholin was nothing but a beast and that the Mitchell family would regret the day they allowed Minnie Mitchell to have anything to do with him. Mrs. Bartholin in re lating her troubles declared that she believed him capable of almost any crime. The police hope for moresubsantlal results from this inquest than from the similar proceedings yesterday in the Minnie Mitchell case. Although the result of tbe coroner's jury ver dict yesterday was the holding of three men to the grand jury for com plicity in the murder of the supposed Mitchell girl, such grave doubts exist over tbe identity of the body that was buried as Miss Mitchell that ef forts were renewed today to have the Mitchell family exhume the body for further inspection. Doubtful identity will be the bur den of the defense of Oscar Thompson, John Claffey and Edward Counselman who were held yesterday to answer for the supposed Mitchell crime. The first two already stood as principal and accessory in tbe murder of Mrs. Bartholin. As yet nothing definite has been heard of the whereabouts of William J. Bartholin. Much doubt exists, however, as to whether Miss Mitche'l Is dead. Mrs. Brown testified that Bartholin had frequently quarreled with his moher and struck her. She said Mrs. Bartholin hada considerable amount of mtioey just before she disappeared. Late in the day the coroner's jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Bartho lin came to her death oa July 5 from strangulation and recommended that Os':ar Thompson (who is already held as principal in the murder,) and Ea ward Counselman ba held to tbe grand jury until discharged by due process of law. The jury further recommended re leasing John Claffey in this case and that Willlasm Bartholin be appre hended. M STSKEN FOR A BURGLAR. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 23. J. M.
