What n Wife Should Do,

10 me Eiitaf ii! HE Ledger,
MEXICO, Mo-, January 24.---A
wife must learn how to form her
husbands happiness,i in what dlree-
ton the secret of her comfort lies.
She must not cherish his weak
nesses by working upon them; she
must not run, rashly, counter to
his prejudices. Her motto must
be never to irritate. She must
study never to draw largely upon
the small stock of patience in
mans nature, nor TO increase his
obstinacy by trying to drive him;
never, if possible, to have scenes.
| doubt much il a real quarrel, even
If made up, does not loosen the
bond between man and wife, and
sometimes, usless The affection of
both be very sincere, lastingly. If
irritation should occur, woman
must expect to hear from most men
even strength and vehemence of
language far more than the occa-
sion requires. Mild, as we'll as
stern nen, are prone to this exag-
geration of language Let not a
woman be tempted even to say
anything sarcastic or violent in re-
/ taliation. The bitterest repent
ance must needs fellow such an in
diligence if she do. Men frequently
forget what they themselves have
said, but seldom what is uttered by
their wives. They are grateful
too, for forbearance in such cases;
for whilst asserting most loudly
that they are right, they are often
conscious that they are wrong(!)
Give little time, as the greatest
boon you can bestow, to the irrltat-
Ted feelings Of your husband.

An Animal Diseases Act.
Efs.4ft thu Rural Mt,rfd

The Hon. @. r. Clark, the rep
resentatise Of Audrain county, has
introduced a measure in the House
that every farmer and stock owner
lii Missouri should see in force.
1t Is one that every county, town.
ship, village, town and city needs,
and If it does not pass it will be
only on account of the indifference
or neglect of stockewners to urge
their representatives and Senators
at Jefferson City to vote for the
measure.
The report of the State Vet
erinarian, DIR. Puquin, shows that
with the meagre law he has worked
under, he travelled upwards of 2S,-
900 miles in two years, replied to
about 5 900 letters, cards, kilograms
and petitions; attended to nearly
] 10000 head of stock including
sheep and swine; attended to
nearly 300 cases Of glanders; at
tended to ,434 head of cattle for
Texas fever, and besides studied.
experimental and taught on sub
jects of animal diseases and pub
lished bulletins on the same.
Now this work by one man is only
one-third of what the State de-
mands of him, and that which he
can attend to is, nearly always,
done later than should be the case,
simply because the State Vet
erinarian has no deputy and no
power to have any appointed.
The proposed law provides for
the payment of glandered horses or
mules and their killing, and in
Identifying of such parties who
may be SO unfortunate as to get
such incurable diseases as that, or
as horse-syphilis(M Maiadje du CeiD,
or contagious pleuro-pneumonia OF
Rinderpest, among their stock.
Besides, this new law provides
against the introduction of such
diseases from abroad, and against
their discrimination within the
State. Farmers. stockmen, if you
want your stock protected against
such heavy losses as have partly
ruined many a stock kowner in the
countries where veterinary service
was demanded, (about thirds
! of the State you can easily do SO.
Only little exertion in demanding
what you have a right to, the pass
age of the law of Mr.. Clark, of Au-
drain county, concerning animal
diseases.
| 1t is based on the most liberal
righteous and economic of veterin
ary sanitary laws of any State OF

in harmony with the United States
Government laws.

SHE LOVED THREE. NOT TWO.
An Amusing Sequel to Miss
Whites Love Affair at
Sturgeon, Mo.

Wednesday, the 23d, a message
flashed over the wire telling of the
Winn- White sensation at Sturgeon
on that day. Telegraph operator
TRULY was sitting in, his office at
Thompson and heard the telegram
as it passed over. He was up in
an instant. He grabbed his coat,
and putting it on as he passed out
ofthe door, started up the track to-
ward CentralIa. In an hour he
had reached the town and going at
once to the hotel where young
Winn and Miss White were domi-
ciled, he went up to the young
lady's room. He raped on the
door several times, telling her who
he was, but of course he was not
admitted. The porter of the house
happened along about this time
and taking in the situation, hus-
tied the young operator out of the
hall and onto the porch. The op-
orator resisted, but the strong
armed porter was too much for him
and The man who handles lightning
was gently dropped from the porch
40 thA Ground below. In the de-
scent his -spat tails canght on nail
and portioisssls .'en stayed there.
Young TRULY was n,>s- 49, ed by
this trifiing incident, And Ar~-Sas !"
engaged 8 room for the aighs.
When lnorniL:s "amH he was among
the first to the breakfast table.
Young Winn and his prospective
bride were there, too. Winn had
heard of Truby's caper on the
night before, and going over to
where his rival sat, he tapped him
on the shoulder and remarked:
~ want to see you after break
fast"
! "You can see me now, d--n
you," returned TRULY, making a
pass at Winn. Friends at once
came up and the belligerents were
separated. Miss White sat calmly
contemplating the scene and after
breakfast accompanied her chosen
lover to the Columbia train.
Truby's spirit had been somewhat
blighted by his peculiar experience
of the night before, and he allowed
them to depart in peace. Miss
White and Winn were married at
Columbia at noon Thursday and
the LEDGER trusts their married
life may be as happy As their court
ship was miserable.
| 1t appears that the young lady
had been receiving, impartially,
the attentions of all three OF the
yeung men concerned and that the
announcement OF her engagement
| to Lee Winn fell like a thunder
bolt on the other two.
The Centralia Guard last week
has the following in its account
of the affair:
