KEEPING A WIFE YOUNG.

A certain amount Of social life is
absolutely essential to all of us-to the
old as we'll as to the young, writes
Edward w. Box in a partinent article
on mans inability to see things as
others see them, in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. A woman never grows
so old that she ceases to enjoy the
company of others, and generally the
older she grows the more she enjoys 1t.
It IS always a pity to see a man fall
into a state which he explains by say
ing: "Oh, we're getting old, and don't
care for SO much variety in our lives"
In the pure unselfshness of his soul he
al ways speaks of "us" and "we," as if
it naturally follows that because he is
getting Anticipated his wife must keep
peace with him in his decline. Men
all too often make their wives too old.
1t is a greater credit to a husband to
keep his wife young than to make her
grow old. His actions and his habits
necessarily influence those of his wife.
Let him keep in touch with the world.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1893-05-02

and both he and his wife will be the
better and the younger for it. I like
to see a man proud of his wife because
she keeps young. Old age is beautiful
and has its advantages, but a man
makes a great mistake when he rushes
a woman unnecessarily toward it,
And he does it most perfectly when he
depriveshe r of those enjoyments which
every man should give his wife. No
economy is so false, so hollow and so
misguided as that which seeks to with
hold one pleasure from the life of a
good woman, a true wife or a loving
mother. The best home a man can
give a woman becomes ''poky," as one
woman I know expresses it, if she is
asked to live in it three hundred and
sixty-ive days out of every year. The
good Lord knows that woman's life in
this world is hard enough. She travels
a path of endurance and suffering, to
which a man, be he ever so heavily
afflicted, is an entire stranger. 1t was
given to man to make that path as
pleasant, as easy and as bright as
possible. Every dollar which a man
spends for the happiness of the woman
of his home will come back to him in
double, yea, in four-fold measure.

Mr.. VERSIONS LECTURE ON
NEY.

Rev. J. A. Weston delivered his in
tensely interesting lecture on Marshal
Ney at the City Hall last night to an
audience not at all commensurate with
the merits of the lecture.
After a brief biographical sketch of
the Marshal, the lecturer proceeded to
discuss the execution of Ney. He was
convicted of treason on December g.,
1915, and sentenced to be shot at 6
o'clock or shortly after the next morn
ing. The official report says Ney was
shot by so veterans doubtless men he
led to victory, said the speaker in an
unfrequented part of the yard Of the
palace of Luxembourg. He proceeded
to within eight PAGES of the wall and
crying out Comrades, straight to the
| heart, fire." he fell dead. His body

STORIES OF A WARM REGION.

There were several men on the train
coming eastward from the Salt Lake
region who told wonderful stories of
the heat of the alkali plains. noticed
a contemptuous expression of an old
settler who was listening as if he didn't
wholly believe all he heard, and finally
he took a turn in the conversation.
"Genel'men, your talk is all child's
play. Heat! I give you my word of
honor that when my wife wants to
boil eggs she just puts them them into
a pan of cold water on the roof, and
in three minutes them eggs are boiled"
There was silence for a moment, then
a thin voice piped up:
"Where does she get the cold water?"
Before this sumner could be disposed
of another man took a hand in the
confab.
''Me and my wife don't keer for
billed eggs-we prefer 'em baked.
When my wife sets the table for
breakfast she spreads out a row of
eggs on the window sill, and in two
jifies they're baked ready to eat. The
only trouble is they're likely to be over
DONE"
There was a spell of thinking, then a
long, lean man, with a caved in chest,
said in a whistling kind of voice:
That's why I'm leaving the coun-
try"
Eyes. Bein' natchually tender
hearted, I don't like to live where
baked chickens walks around with the
feathers on. That's all I have agin the
climate. I new heard Of but one
place hotter"
That wound up the discussion, and
the last speaker remained champion of
the crowd.

Wrong Idea.

"How long is it since you've seen
Hank Smith," asked Mrs. Jones as she
washed up the silver and put it in the

Jones pensively; 'he was buried"
"Mercy goodness, Jeptha! You don't
mean to tell me that great strong Hank
Smith was buried yesterday! Dear,
dear, what are we coming to? And so
Mrs. Hank Smiths a widow! I do
wonder how she'll look in black. Won't
she splurge round, though, on Hanks
money! She isn't a little bit good look

the world isn't worth much to a man
when his wife's a widow. Something
has stained that butter knife bIack.

was exposed Is minutes on the place
of execution, as was customary.
Other reports by eye witnesses, how
! ever, show that the body was Instantly
covered with a cloth and carried awav
to the hospital. An account by Sir
William Frazer, M. P, shows that
Ney's own soldiers loaded their own
guns and fired at him. While the official
report went to show that the face and
body was mangled, an eye witness said
an officer made sketch of the marshal
after death and that Ney's c~ountenance
wore a placid smile. Another body
could easily have been substituted for
Ney's after the sham execution, said
Mr.. Weston.
Because of the lack of space only a
little portion of the lecture car be re
produced by the Observer.
Marshal Ney four days after Water
loo expressed an intention of going to
the United States. Peter Stuart Ney
told Mrs. Mary G. Dalton, who is still
living in Iredell, that he whispered to
his soldiers ''aim high" as he passed
them going to his place at the execu-
ton. He left Bordeaux for Charleston
and landed thtr re in January, 1916.
Three years he was in hiding and pre-
pairing himself to teach.
Every characteristic of Peter S. Ney
were shown by Mr.. Weston to have
been possessed by Marshal Ney. Ney
was called by his soldiers Peter, the
Red" Perhaps this vas the reason he
assumed the name of Peter in this
country. His fathers name was Peter.
His mother was descended from a
family of Stuarts.
The iron frame of the greatest of Ma
poleon's marshals could defy wind and
weather. Peter S. Ney commonly
made out with four hours sleep. He
never sat near a fire.
He was too fond Of his cups but no
drunkard. He commonly drank more
after hearing bad news from France.
Peter S. Ney wrote very good poetry.
There is no record that Marshal Ney
ever did, but that doesn't prove he
couldn't. The Marshal played the
flute. Peter S. Ney owned and played
a costly flute.
Peter S.. Ney is known to have had
every wound on his person that the
great Marshal had, except n on the
neck. His acquaintance cannot re-
member as to that. lie had a severe
sabre wound on the left side of his head,
which he said he received at Waterloo.
Marshal Ney was the best fencer in
France; Peter S.. Ney the best in
America. The latter told Burgess
Gather, of Davie county, that he and
Murat used to fence with each other in
Napoleon's presence. Marshal Ney
could speak English. An expert told
Mr.. Weston that two specimens of the
handwriting of both the Marshal and
Peter S. Ney were undoubtedly the
same. Both Neys we're marked with
the smallpox.
Peter Stuart Ney tainted in the
schoolroom at Darlington, S. c., when
the news of Napoleon's death reached
him. He told Col. Benz, Rogers after
wards; with the death of Napoleon
my last hope is gone"
He was recognized several times by
foreigners as Marshal Ney. On one of
these occasions at SFatesviIle a German
named Barr created a sensation by
saying: "There's Marshal Ney." On
his death bed Peter s. Ney solemnly
affirmed, in the presence Of DR.. Mat
thew Lock and others, that he was the
