He Obeyed Her.

Most American women have embar-
RAISING experiences in social emergen-
cies. Perhaps none was ever more try
ing than the adventure of lady noted
in New York society for her courtesy
and savoir faire.
One winter day she started on the
train for Philadelphia, taking her seat
in what she supposed was an ordinary
parlor car. There was but one other oc-
cupant, somewhat stout man, who sat
with his back to her. Presently he
lighted cigar and began to smoke.
The lady coughed and moved uneasily,
but her hints had no effect. She said at
last, tartly:
"You probably are foreigner, sir. and
do not know that there is smoking car
attached to the train. Smoking is not
permitted here"
The man without reply threw his ci-
gar out of the window.
A few moments later the conductor
entered and stared at her in dismay.
"How did you come here, madam" he
inquired.
why, where am To-
"In General Grants private car"
The mortified lady's usual tact failed
her here. She looked at the dumb, i'm
movable figure and retreated without a
word.

AMERICANS IN EUROPE.

The English Boniface Is Making Prepara-
tions to Entertain Many of Us This Year.
Already the indications are that more
Americans are coming to Europe this
year than ever before. The proprietors of
the principal hotels in London are rejoic-
ing over the fact that they have received
more applications for apartments dur
ing the season from all parts of the
United States than at so early date in
any previous year. If their expecta-
tions are unfulfilled, it will be dismal
time for the English boniface, for the
best of them found the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger last year, and
America is the sole hope for many of
them. One thing only it was feared
might check the exodus, and that dam
ger is probably over. Most of the steam
ship lines made some advance in first
class fares last season in anticipation of
Worlds fair travel 1t proved to be the
most nnprnfitah1a year for a long time.
The recent conference of managers of
the principal lines discussed the point
unofficially, but the managers were al
most unanimous in opposing furthe,
advance.
The agents recognize that the bulk of
American summer travel comprises
clergymen, schoolteachers and others
having moderate salaries and long va
cations. A heavier tax would keep
them at home. 1t is further argued that
these classes rather DrOfit than suffer nv
the hard times. so it is expected that
travel this year will be unusually large.

Leap Years not REQUIRED.

In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman
does all the courting. When she falls
in love with a man, she goes to his
house and informs him of the state of
her feelings. If he reciprocates. ans is
well, and the formal marriage is duly
arranged. If, however, he is unwilling,
she remains there, hoping to coax him
to better mind. The poor fellow can
not treat her with the least discourtesy,
nor has he the consolation of being able
to turn her out, as her friends in such a
case would feel bound to avenge the in
suit. His remedy therefore, if deter
mined not to marry her, is to leave his
home and stay away as long as she is
in it. On the Isthmus OF Darien either
sex can do the courting, with the natu-
raj result that almost every one gets
married. A similar practice to that in
the Ukraine exists among the Zuni tribe
of Indians. The woman does all the
counting, and also controls the situation
after marriage To her belong all the
children, and descent, including inherit
ance, is also on her side. The same
custom prevails among the Virgees, a
tribe in Cabul. and the Nairs of Mala-
bar. Among the Caro- race of Abssam,
in North East India, it is not only the
privilege but even the duty of the girl
there to speak first, any infringement of
this rule being summarily and severely
punished.

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer, which
has been at logge-heads with its party
on the Wilson bill, in support of the
kick instituted by Senator Brice and
others, says:
1t is time to call halt The same coterie OF
idealists that prepared the bill in the House had
concluded to complete it in the Senate. Now II
Senators Brice. German, Gibson, Caaery and
others. who constitute the conservative Democrats
of the Senate will put their hands upon this bill il
will be made national and not sectional; it will be
made practical and not ideal
1t is all right to call halt, but the
question arises, will the Democrats in
Congress halt when called upon to do
so? They might have halted in the
House, but they did not do it. Only IL
members of the House halted when it
came to a final vote. Several Senators
are now talking hard about halting on
the bill, but when it comes to question
of voting for the bill or killing the Dem
ocratic party, they will vote for the bill
and trust that the party may find some
loophole to crawl out of the responsible
ity. 1t is easy enough for these
Senators to talk about voting against
the bill, but what they will do
when the roll is called is the
one thing important, and when that
time comes it is probable that enough
will be found on the side of the bill to
pass it.

At this supreme moment he forgot all
about the potent factor of wealth, and
his mind dwelt only on the possibility

had ancestors some time in the past, and
his bosom swelled with pride and resent

They Joined the Procession.

The following amusing story is told
of the late DR.. Wilkinson, formerly re-
corder of Hartlepool. He was an enthu-
siastic advocate of the first great reform
bill. One day, while walking out in the
street with an equally Jealous friend, a
highly respectable gentleman like him
self, he saw approaching great process
sion headed by band and banner. The
latter, as it streamed in the breeze. was
seen to bear an inscription. This could
not be quite made out, but the word
"Reform" was conspicuous in the midst
of it. That was quite enough for DR..
Wilkinson and his friend. Without a
moments hesitation they joined the
throng and mached proudly along with
the rest. But presently the wind drop
ped little and the legend on the banner
became fully legible. Great was the
horror of DR.. Wilkinson and his COM
panion to find that the procession they
had so eagerly joined and in which they
had proved such prominent figures was
one of Reformed drunkards!"

The Iowa Legislature by resolution
has asked the L. S. Senate to postpone
a vote on the Wilson bill until after the
fall elections This is uncharitable on
the part of the Iowa statesmen. They
well know that the people will repudiate
the Wilson bill, and they know, too, that
if the bill does not become law before
next falls elections it will not become a
law after the elections. The Democratic
party believes it was called to power to
do something and the Wilson bill, al
though it is acknowledged to be a
horrible mess, is the embodiment OF
what they want to do. Yet the Iowa
Legislature wants to deprive the Democ
racy of enacting that bill, inglorious as
it is. The Democratic party is hanging
itself as fast as it can get the rope, and
we would differ from our brethren of the
prairies in that we would not withhold
the rope, but would let them have all
they need and complete the job as soon
as possible.

Partnerships.
National Stockman.

National StOckman.
As a rule partnerships are not advan-
tageous in moderate enterprises. There
are, however, exceptions to all rules.
One exception which will be admitted by
the careful thinker is where father can
take his son or sons into partnership
with him and thus start them in life in
business way. Such arrangements are
often best for all concerned. The father
may need the push and dash that younger
blood will put into the business while
the son or sons may need the steady
guiding hand of the father. Old men
frequently fail because of their too con-
seryative way of doing business, while
young men make failures because of
taking too great risks or lack of exper-
ience. A partnership of this kind is but
a natural combination and if properly
managed leads to great success.
In a business depending upon the
public for patronage a firm of this kind
has much in the name to recommend it.
No matter how dishonest and tricky
men may be there are few who care to
teach their children to follow disreputa-
BILE methods. A firm composed of father
and son is therefore regarded with much
favor by the public. There are excep-
tions to this rule also, but in most cases
it holds good. A man generally has
enough manhood about him to recon-
mend him to strangers who is considerate
enough with his own children to take
them with him into business enterprises.
There are but few things that indicate
honesty, integrity and noble purpose
more than this.
But the advantages of such CO partner
ships are not always found in the finan-
cial side of the question. Neither is it
necessary to be engaged in business
that depends upon the outside world for
success before such arrangements can
be made to advantage. An undisputed
and well defined interest In few acres
of grain, colt that may develop into a
valuable horse, or a bunch of pigs that
can be turned into money in the future,
may awaken an interest in the mind of
the boy that would change the whole
character of his life. The reason there
are so many poor business men among
farmers is simply because they have
never been taught business. There is no
better way to teach boys business prin-
ciples than to take them into partnership
and develop their minds in the right
direction. Give the boys a chance and
it will be their fault if they fail. Other
wise il will be YOURS.
