The Worth of Woman's Work
"This world is so full of a number of r
thiugs !
That we ull should be liappv as kings."
—Stevenson.
It behooves us all to find out the
shortest cuts to the ends of our tasks
and the best ways of doing our work
for every day sees new interests and ■
new demands. Then, tno, there is the j
ever-increasing trend upwards of foods ;
and other necessities, so it is •important |
to utilize all we have in as manv ways
as are profitable.
In homes where there are small chil
dren the question of securing good
values in everything that is purchased
becomes especially deserving of
thought, for children have a habit of
growing up and out of things in an
astonishing way, then the next little
sister, or little brother can be fitted I
out like new, with small expense. j
This making over, cutting down and
fitting things to the next youngster in
size, is a wonderful example of woman's j
economic value to the family. How lit- 1
tie we hear of the planning it takes to Jj
make one outfit do duty twice. And, i
though a pleasant thing to make the
family comfortable and attractive, this 1
is not easy work.
Men do not sa> so but it is under
stood that woman's work is not of direct 1
productive value, in their opinion. The j
drudgery of her hands and head is con
>idered of little worth. The story of 1
the little hoy who was asked about the
family's income and replied, "Pa gets
ten dollars a week working on the street
car. Sister clerks for &ix dollars and I
sell papers and get fifty cents a week.
Mother .just works for us all and she
don't get nothing," comes to mind.
I he planning, saving and skimping 11
<>" women swells saved pennies to mil
lions of dollars yearly. This is often >
of such small moment in individual
cases as not to be told or taken ac- I
count of. Hut account is taken of com- i
FACT
Local Evidence
Evidence that can be verified.
Fact is what we want.
Opinion is not enough.
Opinions differ.
Here's a Harrisburg fact.
You can test it.
Mrs. Margaret E. Cleland, 1410
North Sixth street, Harrisburg, says:
"I have taken Uoan's Kidney Pills off
and on for the oast five years when
ever I have suffered from pain in my
back and when mv kidneys have seemed
congested. At times I had inflamma
tion of the bladder which was very
annoying. T had difficulty in passing;
the kidney secretions. I can always
tell when this trouble is coming on for i
1 have dull headaches and my sight be- j
comes blurred. Doan's Kidney Pills .
were recommended to me very highly j
after I had used other remedies but
had gotten no relief. The first box j
helped me wonderfully, and after tak- |
ing the third box I felt like a different '
woman."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't |
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

is the wage earning efficiency of her
family increased. The homo that turns
forth well trained useful young men
and women makes the greatest possible
Icontribution to the moral wealth<Af our
world and surpasses all mere financial
values.
That women have not more value
given to their efforts is largely their
own fault. For it is well known that
they never telf their ways of manag
ing. saving and achieving the seeming
.impossible, but. after making a skirt
[from lather's old trousers, for Susy and

acts like independent royalty, bless her.

ingenious woman with a fine imagina
tion and a lean purse, recently, "folks
that never had to manage wouldn't be

Three days afterward O'Connell was
üble to dress and move about his room
He was weak from loss of blood and
the confinement tlint an active man re-1
seuts. Hut his brnln was clear and
vivid. They had been three wonderful
days.
Augela had made ihem tht> most
amazing In his life. The memory of
those hours spent with her he would
I carry to bin grave.
She read to him and talked to him
and lectured him and comforted hiui.
And in a little while lie must leave It
all. He must stand his trial under th«
"crimes net" for speaking at a "pro
; claimed" meeting.
Well, whatever his torture, lie knewi
he would couje out belter equipped fot j
the struggle. He had learned some !
! thing of himself he had so far never |
1 dreamed of in his bitter struggle with ]
j the handicap of his life He had
something to live for now besides the
! call of his country—the call of the
heart—the cry of beauty and truth and
j reverence.
O'Connell Had Endured Monthi of
Torture.
Angela inspired him with all these |
In the three days she ministered to 1
him she had opened up a vista lie had {
hitherto never known. And now lie
had to leave it and face ills accuser* j
and be hectore 1 aid .leered at In t!i
mockery they called •trials.' Kr.i;

on, anci t Hence lie Would he sent back !
into the world with the brand ot !
the prism cell upon him.
And back of it all :lie yearning thai
at the end she would be waiting and
watching for his return to the conflict
for tile great "cause" to which he had
dedicated his life.
On the morning of the third day Mr. |
Roche, the resident magistrate, was j
sent for by Nathaniel Kingsuortli Mr.
Roche found him linn and determined. I
ills back to the fireplace, in which a j
bright fire was burning, although the I
month was July
"I've Kfnt. for yon to remove this]
man O'Connell." added Nathaniel aft-;
*r a pause.
"Certainly—if he la well enough to 1
be moved."
"The doctor. I understand, snvs that' 1
be is." I I
"Very well. I'll drive hitn down to ]
the courthouse. The court is sitting '
now," sold Roche, risinor.
CHAPTER IV.
Angela In Oiatret*.
KTNGSNORTH went on: "The at
titude of the people, their
vlewa. their conduct, is deplor
able—hopeless. 1 came here tc
see what I could do for them. I even
thought of spending a certain portion 1
of each year here. Hut from wiiat I've
heard It would be a waste of time iiutf
money." I
"It is discouraging at first siirht. hot ' 1
we'll have n lietter state of affairs pies | |
ently. We must first stamp out the :
agitator. He is the most potent baudi- j
cap."
"Could it be done?"
"It would take time—every big move-
ment takes time." Roche paused, look
ed shrewdly at Kingsnorth and asked
him:
"What do you intend doing with this j
estate?" 1
"I am in a quandary. I'm almost de
termined to put It in the market—aell
It. be rid of It. It has always been a
source of annoyance to our family.
However. I'll settle nothing until I re
turn to London. I'll go In a few days
—much sooner than 1 intended. This
man being brought Into my house has
annoyed and upset me."
"I'm sorry.'" said the magistrate.
"MISS Klmrunnrlh
I and the fellow seemed in a bad way;
otherwise 1 would never have allowed
I It."
A servant .'nnic in resfwnse to King*-
| north's ring and was sent with a mes
i snge lo have the man O'Conuell ready
to accompany the magistrate us quick
ly as possible.
Over a gliiss of sherry and a cigar
the two men resumed their discussion
I about the estate
"I wouldn't decide too hastily about
disposing of the land. Although there's
! always a good deal of discontent, there
is really very little trouble here. In
fact, until agitators like O'Counell
came among us we Had everything
pretty |»eaccfiil. We'll dispose of him
:n short order."
"IH>. Do. Make an example of him
i by all means."
"Trust us to do that." said Roche,
i After a moment be added: "To refer
j again to selling tbe estate, you would
; get very little for it. it can't depreciate
\ much im re. and there is always the
j chance It may Improve. Some of the
j people are quite willing to work"—
j "Are they? They've uot sbowu any
willingness to me."
i "Oh. no. They wouldn't."
! "What? Xot to their landlord?"
; "You'd be tbe last they'd show it to.
i They're strange people in many ways
until you get to know them. Now
j there are many natural resources that
might be developed if some capital
j were put into tbetu."

I about doing Mint, lie said it misbt be ,
ten years before I got a penny out of
ibe property.
' "Your new steward?"
"Andrew M: I'herson. the prominent
lawyer.
"He's a hard man. sir."
! "The estate needs one."
"Burke understands the nature of tbe'j i

"He sympathizes with them. I don't: I

I want loyalty to- my interests. Tbe |

"If yon Jet that wounded man go

was dead white. Her breath was com

"Kindly try to control yourself,
