Charles Andrew Jackson Grippe has a

jackson has, as far as heard from. two
mothers-in-law. Mother-in-law first, Mrs.

WOMAN AS A CONSOLER.
In Troublous Financial Times This Is
the Part She Plays.
Chicago Tribune


The original intention in regard to
women seems that they should be creatures
of ornament and consolation. This has
not been wholly carried out; they have
had many other things 10 do besides be-
ing pretty and consoling. But for both of
these they nave had large opportunities.
In times like the present, when men are
harassed and troubled over their affairs,
women can do much that no one else can
do. They can refrain from troubling on
their own part; they can put aside their
own annoyances; they can see that the
house is cool and comfortable; that the
table is well and not extravagantly served
they can present a cheerful front and
soOthe or divert as the indications may be
read on the page which il has been
the business of their lives to understand at
a glance. They may speak or be silent, as
the case seems to require.
The woman who will do this will do
more. She will cheerfully make her ex-
penditures meet the situation. If she has
an extravaganza she will lup it off; she
will look we'll 10 the ways of her house
hold and take cheerful interest in prac-
ticing wise economies. But there comes a
place where mems and women's ways
may part. A glance over the newspapers
shows that when men ere troubled in
their affairs the mill is shut down, the
works are closed. the employe is dis
charged. The interests of women are not
so involved. The wise woman will not
swell the ranks of the unemployed. She
will not discharge the faithful nurse. the
cook, the waitress; she will turn her dress
for new fall costume ana put new bow
on her bonnet; she will gather her house,
hold about her. and bending low all will
in time weather the storm.

JOE WILL GET MARRIED.
The Hero of Thursdays Asphyxia-
tion to Wed.

The sequel of the attempted suicide of
Joseph Gerson In his room at the Newton
House on Thursday morning by asphyxia-
tion, because of a quarrel with his sweet
heart, Minnie Drosell. woman at the
Eureka Music Hall. will be a quiet little
wedding in some church around the corner
as soon as Joe RECEIVERS. The hero of
Minnie's dreams is still living at the Re-
ceiving Hospital, convalescenT, and little
the worse on account of his fTolic.
Minnie is truly sorry that she quarreled
with Joe and drove him distracted from
her side. The most substantial cause for
this sorrow, in all prOba bility, is the news
and contents of q letter which Joe received
yesterday from his father in Germany.
One of the sentences In the letter was
''InclOs you will find a draft for $780,
An examination of the little piece of paper
that fell from the letter showed the state
ment to be true.
The news was communicated 10 Minnie
by a mutual friend, and by him the ar
rangementS made which when cOnsum-
mated will, it is hoped. make Joe happy
for life and drive all thoughts of suicide
from his MIND.
