The Model Wife.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Scripture and history and poetry
vie with one another sounding the
praises of the model wife. The man
who is blessed with a companion
worthy of the name of model wife
can snap his fingers in the faces of all
the old bachelors that ever breathed.
and give them points each day in ev-
cry exalted pleasure that makes life
worth living. There is no danger of
his applying for divorce.
Unfortunately for the married men
OF this generation the model wives
are most all dead. The struggle for
existence was too much for them.
The ceaseless, silent, self-sacrifce
neeoed to build up a model domestic
character could only be met and
borne as long as there was a living
appreciation of the personal laws of
duty that underlie all sorts of ideal
existence. The men who appreciated
model wives and were in return WILL
ing to be model husbands, were so
few that the good wives-that is, the
model wives discouraged and
took to their graves, or some more
congenial occupation.
The few model wives that are left
are cherished by their husbands be-
yond even their cigars or their horses.
The model wife of the workingman,
clerk or business man has some APP
probation of the 10000 little labors,
petty cares and annoyances that her
husband has to go through with each
day in his workshop Or office. She
considers that such worrying cares
are part of the duties by which her
husband makes a living for himself.
for her and for the children, if there
are any. And when the husband
comes home from his work. tired,
perhaps cross and hungry and out of
sorts, she is always ready to meet
him with some quiet and gentle good
cheer. Her own person is attractive
and restful to aim. She always has
some pleasant scheme in mind to
make his home hours delightful to
him, and so make herself indispensa-
BILE and a constant Joy.
The model wife does not see how
many poor and silly and exacting
things she can say to her tired hus-
band. If she has anything to ask she
waits until he is rested ana fed. She
invites pleasant people to her home,
not to show how many rich things
she has, but to make her husbands
home hours pass cheerfully. She
knows that if she is half woman no
other can displace her in her hus-
bands affections. She is always more
attractive In her manners to her hus-
band than to other men. She is the
genius of the household. But, I'M
fortunately, the most of them are
dead.

"EOd Bless the Baby"

The Cheyenne (Wyoming) Sun re-
lates the following beautiful and
touching incident: A big man and a
little one went into Mr.. Harrington's
store few nights ago and asked to
look at some clothing Mr.. Harring-
ton himself waited upon the visitors
and was showing them various lines
of goods when the door leading to his
residence In the rear of the store open
ED and in came on the run baby
daughter of the Harrington family.
Inc little one came hurry ing to escape
her mother, and fell over box Mr..
harrington left the customer and
went to the rescue of the baby. After
the little one was quoted and placed
on the floor he resumed his business.
but Ia another minute she fell over
another box and apparently hurt her
self. He left the customer and AGAIN
looked after the child.
At this the man turned to his COM
pauion and said: Lets go out of
here. [ amt looking for a nursery
The proprietor heard the remark
and was not slow TO respond. He
said that he had lived 50 wear and
done 20 years of business. and had
1000 customers but he had never had
but two Harrington babies, and this
was the only one left. He could get
along without the customer and the
sale OF suit of clothes to him, but he
couldn't get along without the Har-
rington baby, and he didn't care how
soon the customer skipped"
The man who was looking at the
proprietor with mild astonlshment
at first, when the story was finished
had his handkerchief out, was WHIP
ing his eyes, and reached his hand out
to Mr.. Harrington, exclaimed: Part
ner, God bless the baby" He couldn't
do too much, and it is needless to say
they parted as friends.

CLEvELAND's $4,000, 900 fire which
burned many acres in the heart
of the business quarter of the city, is
about the greatest calamity that has
ever befallen it. Only contrary winds
saved the entire city from the flames,
which crossed the river as it was. The
origin of the fire has not yet been
definitely determined, but it is con-
ceded that the Fire Department was
on hand as promptly as possible, and
showed great skill and bravery in
subduing the confagration. It all
goes to show how helpless a great
city is when promising fire get,
fairly started, and what precautions
should be taken to sound an alarm as
quickly as possible. Cleveland s fire
men were well selected and trained
and their apparatus was of the most
modern and improved pattern. Some
of the companies there are famous for
getting out of their houses in the
shortest possible time. Yet only by
desperate efforts, aided by the wind,
could they confne the flames with
in any limits. The occurrence
may well make large cities thought
full.

How the BedOuins Conquer Thirst.

In an article on THE Rescue of
Chiuese Gordon" to be found in
"Open Letters" of the September
Century, Gen. r. E. Colston, late of
the Egyptian general staff, says: SIN
the 'Waterless Land water is the
paramount question. IF it be asked
how large body of Bedouins like the
ten thousand who nearly destroyed
the British squares at Tamai manage
to subsist the reason is plain. In the
first place, they do not need the enor-
NOUS trains required for a European
army. They are the most abstemlous
of men. Each man carries a skin of
water and small bag Of grain, pro
cured by purchase or barter from car
avans. Their camels and goats move
with them, supplying them with milk
and meat, and subsisting upon the
scanty heritage and foliage of thorny
mimosa, growing in, secluded wadies.
These people could live upon the
increase of their focks alone, which
they exchange readily for other COM
modities; but being the exclusive car
rlers and guides for all the travel and
commerce that crosses their deserts,
they realize yearly large amounts of
money. As to water, they know every
nook and hollow in the mountains,
away from the trails, where a few
barrels of water collect in some shady
ravine, and they can scatter, every
man for himself to fill their water
skins. On my first expedition, near
the close of the three years drought,
[ reached some wells upon which [
was depending, and found them en-
tirely dry. But my Bedouin guides
knew some natural reservoirs in the
hills about six miles off. So they
took the water camels at night-fall
and came back before daylight with
the water-skins filed. An invad-
ing army would find it hard to obtain
guides, and even if they did, they
must keep together, and could not
leave the line of march to look for
water. Besides, the Bedoins, accus-
toned from infancy to regard water
as most precious and rare, use it with
wonderful economy. Neither men
nor animals drink more than once in
forty-eight hours. AS to washing,
they never indulge in such wasteful
nonsense. When Bedouins came to
camp water was always offered them.
Their answer would frequently be:
mo, thanks; drank yesterday"
They know too well the Importance
Of keeping up the habit of assurance.
No wonder they can subsist where
invaders would surely perish"

A benevolent woman in Cincinnati

The cattle trade seems to be looking
up. At Dodge City upward of $1,000
cattle have changed hands within the
past week. Shanklin & higgins sold
5000 heads, 500 yearlings and the
balance 2year-olds Billy Wilson,
of Denver; price paid, $13 for year
lings and S17 for 2-year-olds. At
Hodgeman 2-year-old steers are in
great demand, and very few IS are to
be had. The excellent condition of
cattle is remarkable, and the prices
at Hodgeman especially, are better
than for many months. Findlay
Bros, Bill & Barton and Osborn Bros.
sold all their 2-year-olds for $50 per
head, and Gross Longendy ke raised
on this to s34 and got it. These were
all sold to Steve Jones, of Chase ceun-
ty.

The American association for the
advancement of science, which last
week held its annual session IN the
city Of Philadelphia, dates its origin
back to April 1910, when seventeen
prominent scientists of that day met
at the Franklin Institute, IN Philadel-
phia, and organized themselves as the
American Biologists. Seven years
later, in Boston, the present name was
adopted. The membership now num-
bers nearly 1900, and includes repre-
seNtatlves of every branch of science,
and from all sections of the country,
although the largest membership is
naturally from the east, where an old
er, more settled and more advanced
civilization is more productive of, as
more favorable to scientific research
than is the newer west. 1t is expected
that 800 or more members of the
British association, lately in session in
Montreal, will be in attendance at
Philadelphia.
