what would you think of two men
forming a partnership, each putting in
the same amount of capital and labor.
but one obliged to ask the other for
every penny he desired to draw out of
the common fund? You would think
it very strange and unjust transac-
ton, and yet that is about the case
with nine-tenths of the husbands and
wives of our land. My masculine
friends, did you ever step to think how
humiiating and grinding 1T must be
for the wife to have to ask her husband
for every little drib of money she may
want to spend for her own use?
How would the husband like
to be placed III that position?

slavery-the husband is lord and the
wife his subject, and yet they ought to
be equal partners with equal privileges.

Of money as the husband, and as rule
she would not be as apt to spend it S,
foolishly. Indeed, it would in mos
cases be used more largely for the com
fort of her husband and children tta
for herself. How pleasant it is occa-
siOnally for man and wife to make each
other little presents, perchance on birth
day or holiday, but the wife, If she Il
permitted so to do at all, is too often
robbed of all the pleasure there is in
uch happy affairs by having to tim
idly and with fear and trembling
beg of her husband for the pit.

Both husband and wife have their work |

What Am l to DoP

The symptoms Of biliousness are uu
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time: if it is not white and fuwed,
it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out Of
order and diarThea or constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or flat.

William Green in Trouble,

William Green was brought to Can
ton last night from Louisville, by Oni-
GERS Yant and Owens, and lodged in
Jail. William transgressed the law by
breaking into Mr.. StOutfer's house
two miles southeast of Canton, and
stealing some canned fruit and other
things. He was seen coming from the
premises by some of the school children
at Shocks School House. The chill
dren thinking he was thief, hallooed
at him, and is reported that Green shot
ut them. Green made his way over to
Louisville where he was captured by
the officers at that place. They tele-
phoned over to Canton for an officer,
and Officers Yant and Owens went over
to get him.
Some of the boys showed consider
able pluck by following him for over a
mile. and then went to Canton and re-
ported.
