Oualilcation, of a Hu,band.

Robert j. Burdette says: "You say
you demand a domestic, useful woman
as your wife. If that is so marry Nora
Mulligan, your laundress daughter. She
wears eowhide shoes, is guiltless of cor
sets, never had sick day in her life,
takes in washing. goes out house clean
ing and cooks for family of seven chill
dren, her mother and three section men
who board with her. don't think she
would marry yoll, because Con Reagan,
the track walker, is her style of man
''Let US examine into your qualifca-
tions as husband after your own mat
rimonial ideas, my boy. Can you shoul-
der barrel of -four and carry it down
collar? Can you saw and split ten cords
of hickory wood in the fall SO as to have
ready fuel all winter? Can you spade up
half an acre of ground for the kitchen
garden? Do you know what will take
the lime taste out of the cistern? And
can you patch the leak in the kitchen

III bdO olbUlASS Odu YOU
hang some cheap paper on the kitchen?
Can you fix the front gate so it will not
sag? Can you do anything around the
house that Con Reagan can? My dear,
dear boy, you see Nora Mulligan wants
a higher type of true manhood. You
expect to hire men to do all the mans
work about the house, but you want
your wife to do anything any woman
can do.
Believe me, my son, that nine -tenths
of the girls who play the piano and sing
so charmingly, whom you, in your limit
ed knowledge, set down as mere butter
flies of fashion, are better fitted for wives
than you are for husband. II you want
to marry a first class cook and experienced
housekeeper do your courting in the in
tellgence Office. But if you want a
wife marry the girl you love, with dim
pied hands and face like the sunlight.
and her love will teach her all these
things, my boy, long before you have
learned one-half of your own lesson"

LAcRYME RERUM.

o, Time and Change, they range and range
From sunshine round to thunderl
They glance and go as the great winds blow,
And the best of our dreams drive asunder;
For Time and Change estrange, estrange-
And now they nave looked and seen us,
o we that were dear, we are all-too near
With the thick and the world between US.
o. Death and Time, they chime and chime
Like bells at sunset fallingl
They end the song, they right the wrong,
They set the old echoes calling;
For Death and Time bring on the prime
OF Gods own chosen weather.
And we lie in the peace of the Great Release
AS once in the grass together.

Greedy Foreipners.

All excursionists agree as to the avid
ity with which those ''furriners" seize
on to good, hard, honest American gold.
A Springfield man was bargaining for a
parrot in Havana bird store. The price
was set at seventeen dollars, but the
dealer shaded it down, few dollars at
time. Finally the American took out
a United States five dollar gold piece,
remarking that he would give SO much
and no more. The dealer clutched the
coin, and passed over the parrot, cage
and all, before the gay bird could wink

incur the least penalty at the hands of

A COMMON error of men and women
is to look for happiness outside of useful
work. 1t has never been found when
thus sought, and never will be while the
sun revolves and the earth stands. If
you doubt the proposition, go among

them on their busiest day-and learn
who get the most enjoyment out of life.
You will find they are the busy workers
in useful lines, and not the mere pleas
ure-seekers.

In all delay there is loss, and, while
we cannot compute or measure it, we
may rest assured that it is one that can
never be made up. Therefore, if we
mean to pay our debts, to discharge our
obligations, to accord love, honor, graft
tude to whom they are due, to render
help or sympathy to those who need it,
let us do it promptly and without delay,
for only thus can we be truly faithful,
and just, loving and true.

adding to the burdens and sorrows and

Ailments of Horses.

Almost any liveryman is, in his way,
horse doctor. He practices ON his own
stock, and will prescribe simple remedies
for sick horse that is brought to him,
but in any case he deems serious will al
ways advise calling in regular yeteri-
nary surgeon rather than to undertake
the treatment himself. All sorts of sur
gical operations are undertaken for the
relief of horses, and there are one or two
men in the city who are specially skilled
in the treatment of diseased teeth.
Horses have the toothache just like men
do and from the same causes, and pull
ing tooth is now common thing in
veterinary surgery. OF course the horse
kicks, for his teeth have long and strong
roots, but the operation frequently saves
the life Of valuable animal.--Interview
in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
