FOUNTAIN, Mimi, June 7.-There is
something that sometimes amuses the
general newspaper reader very much,
and, old as am, am ready to confess
that it often amuses me to read
the illusions of some miss
the way of ''How to make
tell how woman should treat her hus-
band. And then, oh! then and there
she lays out the programme in all it's
length and breadth, height and depth,
until she has exhausted the vocab-
ulary of-almost the whole Eng
fish language. We may specu-
late somewhat like this-is this
teacher of married women a
Young girl, all old maid, or a woman
who has been granted divorce with
the privilege OF assuming her maiden
name with the "Miss" added to it?
What has been her own experience in
married life that she gives us such good
advice? Is she using nom de plume
to cover herself up so that the world of
women. or men either as for that matter
may not detect the real and true writer?.
or is it some man that has lost all of his
manhood and wants to be made little
god of, which some woman of weak
wait upon? "Miss'' this. that or the
other, seems to think that men, or
the most of them. have lost
all sense of shame, as we'll
as all manhood, and become creatures
that want to be cared for, as a mother
would care for the helpless babe in
trusted to her loving. tenderest care.
But this ''miss" is too numerous and
apparently quite ignorant of the fact
that the average married man has a
mind of his own and does not seem
to think he was born to be
petted like baby, or to be
made a fool of by woman in such
way as "Miss" advises. ''Miss" does
not seem to know that most men are
practical and matter of fact, without
any nonsense about them, and are
pleased if treated with respect and
certain amount Of politeness in the
presence of other people. or with the
man she loves.
No man wants people to think his
wife is slave to him, creature that
must cease to exist when she takes his
name, only in his presence and for his
pleasure, and all that she says or does
to relate to him. The man that thinks
his wife has no other mission than to
to minister to his Whims is no
man at all, and is not worth
the time that miss" gives him.
In fact such man is no man, only
mere selfish animal that is not worthy
of wife in any sense of the word, and
is one of those men that are ready to
exclaim: Marriage is failure" be-
cause his wife does not believe him
to be an angel of the greatest
and highest magnitude. Such an
gelic men are too good for
this everyday working world
and just the ones that should betake
themselves to regions of eternal bliss,
where it is a possible thing, they may
willing to immediate themselves at the
shrine of some senseless man that is
destitute of all the manhood that be-
longs to sensible and manly men.
This is no time of the world for man
to ask such service as an Indian
woman gives to the savage that claims
her as his beast of burden. [ know
there are men that seem to think that
wife should take care of him, in
fact clothe and feed him on
fae best that earth affords,
but, thank heaven, this variety of
men are not in the majority
in this world. and will not be in the
world beyond the river Styx. The real
men worthy of woman's love and de-
votion in these days believe that wom
an has soul of her own, and right to
some of the enjoyments lof life beyond
the place accorded to woman by this or
that Miss" as lifelong slave to a
mans caprice. These men do not want to
be met Oh the door step by their wives
with their dinner on the tea tray, nor
to be escorted to their beds when it's
time to 60. They have an idea that,
strange as it may seem to these misses,
that woman may become tired with
household duties, that she may have
pain in body, trouble in mind, and
will enjoy the sympathy he can e i've
her, he is man among men.
