The Model Husband.
Philadelphia Times


The model husband is at once more
difficult and yet easier to discuss than
the model wife. Men are supposed to
be less sensitive, and there is not so
much danger of treading on their toes.
And whereas there was scarcity of the
article on the feminine side, model hus-
bands are so numerous and there are
such varieties of them as to make the
task exceedingly pleasant. Look where
you will there are lots of model hus-
bands.
Of course people will not look for
model husbands among those do moth
ing men, who either marry for the little
money their wives have or are forever
begging at the public crib for means to
squander on their appetites, giving only
small portion of their own lives or
their earnings for the support and cult
walton of their families. For the wife's
sake and the children's sake the first es-
sential of model husband is that he be
a man of truth and honor. No matter
what proportion of his begging or steal
ing he gives to home if his conduct stains
his own name he is not very much of
model husband. In truth, the whole
company of loafers, thieves, divorcers
and mere quasi deserters of duty must
be excluded. But there are lots of
model husbands for all that.
The first essential of model husband
is that he in some honorable way other
than by lying, stealing or gambling or
begging provides home and a living
for the wife and children. 1t is fair to
estimate that ninety per cent. of all the
married men you meet from years end
to years end do this. And until those
who have never done it try their hands
for a dozen years they are not compe-
tent critics or Judges. 1t is, in fact, the
primal and honorable basis of all con-
stituted society, and the men that do it
are to great extent model husbands so
far.
The husbands, who in addition to
providing homes, food and clothing for
their wives and children, also do the
marketing, tend the furnace fire to save
the domestic's hands and the coal, are
kindly and affectionate, take their
wives to church, to the park or the
theatre as the wives tastes may incline,
sew the buttons on their own shirts
when the servants rub them off on
washday, dust their own looking glasses
when the chambermaids neglect to do
so, and don't carry deadlatches to
other peoples doors and are generally
patient and enduring, as most husbands
are, why they are more than model
husbands. And if the cities and towns
were not full of them there would be no
peace worth speaking of in all the do
nestle circles of this planet. Now
then.

A Madrid correspondent writes that
on recent occasion the mayor of Mad
drid had to resort to an unheard of pro-
ceeding in the annals of bull fights, in
order to keep the king and royal fam
lily from hearing disagreeable remarks.
He ordered the music to play during
the whole fight, or rather the six fights,
as generally six bulls are killed during
an afternoon, one being dispatched be,

Sir John st. Aubyn, who owns St.
Michaers Mount, at the Lands End,
England, has erected great mansion
there, being very proud of the posses
sion, although the area is so scant. He
keeps his horses on the mainland, which
at very low tide can be reached by a
causeway, but at high tide quite a
heavy sea sometimes surrounds the
mount.
The New Jersey courts have just de-
cided that land under water pre-empted

The party slept well during their long
stay at the North, except during the
last few months of physiological misery,
when the pangs of hunger and the

sleep; in the case of some of them the
horrors of scurvy made their state more
deplorable still.

MY LOVE And L.

My life and sat side by side,
The yellow lamplight's roaming fell
Upon her foYm-my soul she piled
With all the pangs of hell.
Thy hopes cried-they promised good,
Where are the joys that should be mine,
Where Is Ambitions mount that stood
Cloud-reaching and divine?
Why did'st thou ever come at all
To fret me with thy silent care;
To taunt me with my prisons wall
And goad me with despair?
My life vouchsafed me ne'er word,
Her veil my longing looks denied;
Alone my beating heart heard
Against my aching side.
Come share with me the sun-baked crust
OF poverty, and mount my throne,
Ambitions mole-hill made of dust,
would not rule alone.
Wilt thou not speak nor taste the cup
Which thy deceiving hand hath filled,
Nor with the spirit deign to sup
Which thy sweet lie hath killed?
Methought her cheeks began to pale,
Her lips to lose their wonton dyes,
And yet dared not lift the veil
That hid them from mine eyes.
Unmoved and silent as the grave,
Nor word, nor sign, nor look gives she,
No part of all my soul may crave,
viii ever come to me.
Oh, she might be some sullen fate,
Some Sibyl in her mountain cell;
Like one who weaves the web Of hate,
Beside the glare of hell.
Still on the tangled blood-red skin,
Her nimble hand the needle plies,
! watch the flying thread in vain
With tear beclouded eyes.
Swift as my thoughts her needle glides,
Strange figures on the fabric glow;
She with her shadow darkly hides
All that seek to know.
But well I know the crimson thread
On which she plies her cruel art
With ceaseleSs fingers, is made red
With color from my heart.
She came to me know not whence,
She still keeps closely by my side,
l know not when she will go hence,
Nor where she will abide.
have no power to bid her stay;
l dare not love her if would;
may not bid her go away,
Nor lose her if could.

The man who is always anxious to take
the chance, invariably takes one chance too
many.
Take rll the risk there is in thcwoTld, and
you couldn't make half dozen genuine

There are plenty CT people who know
how to make money, and how to waste it,
but few who know how to spend it.
The symptoms Of patience and laziness
are so near alike that it would bother many
people to tell which disease thcy have the
