When the Emanclpated Woman
came to breakfast, she found most de-
licious meal awaiting her. Her hus-
bands biscuits d never been lighter
or fiakler. The coffee had never been
SD fragrant of aroma, ST. delicious to
the taste The breakfast was boiled
just a. she liked it, and it was tender as
the affection OF her WIN tender and low
ing husband.
"Ah" she said, as she laid aside her
napkin and prepared to leave the table
IA breakfast like this for,ities one for
the days duty. Now good, sweet
good bye kiss from my dear HUSBAND
and am gone"
He put his arms about her ne and
l0Okti up into her face as she kissed
HIM, then he cooed:
My beloved, | just adore you. Oh.
why do you have to go to the rrid
office? Why can't you stay here at home
WIN M, where | can look upon your
sweet face, and feel your kisses upon
my lips
The ,tmanicipated Woman smiled an

"Well, lOve?"

out her purse. "Here is the money.
Get yourself real nice pair"
AS the Emanicipated Woman seized
the railing of the rear platform of a
passing street-car aud drew herself on
board, she said to herself.
Il thought it mighty strange if that
good breakfast and all that mollycod

AS her husband put on his hat and
sailed forth to do lIttle shopping, he
said to himself.
"When a man wants a little money
it is much better to use little strategy
than to ask wife bluntly for cash, as
some men do"

"The Man Who whistles"

MIR. Paderwski is habitually as
good natured as Liszt was, and his
manager Mr.. Gorlitz says he never saw
him angry but once. The great pianist
has a pet aversion, and that is whist
ling, habit which brings him to the
verge of distraction. He has been
known to leave the billiard room of the
Windsor hotel at New York City, be-
cause somebody was whlstling and he
nee remarked to friend there was
ne thing in the world that could pro.
woke him to commit murder, and that
was man who whistles. What must
be his abhOrance of a whistling woman
may be imagined. Every person of
musical sensibility must share his anti
pathy, next to locomotives whistle,
human whistling is the most piercing
and painful of conceivable sounds, and,
what makes it worse, ninety nine whist
lers, in hundred have no musical ear
whatever. They meander along in a
meaningless maze of incoherent sounds
which m ,kes one wonder why, if they
are so unmusical they should want all
the world TO know it. 1t may be laid
down as general rule, that the less
musical a person is the more anxious
he is to parade his Accomplishments
in public.

Clean Your Walks.

1t seems as though the citizens who
have property on the main streets of
the city do not care whether the side
walks are clean or not. 1t is simply
awful that the most of the walks are
in the condition they are at present.
1t is not safe for person hardly to
venture out on some of them, there
being ice and snow on them all and
just now they are very disagreable to
walk on. The town council should
compel the citizens to clean the walks
Or'else the ely should do it and charge
the owner for having it done.

Novelties of transportation to l.


Afforded with Underground system.
The proposed plan of operating al
the lines of the Metropolitan Traction
Company by the system Of underground
trolley, develops greater possibilities
the longer it is considered, says the
New York World. The Belt Line Mr.
Crimmins proposes to turn into a rou-'
that will attract pleasure-seekers by
day and night. Except the parks. there
are no spots to be visited on the CO =
panys lines for outdoor pleasures. :
World reporter was told yesterday that
the Belt Line cars will be among the
most luxurious public street cars ever
built. The equipment will be ma Il
with the crisp salt air of the ocean
along the waterway and the always
interesting views of the ships and
docks. One of the companys directors,
In discussing the future liberal policy
Of the company, said: Before the
lines ere completed the company will
have number of private cars furnish
ed with all luXurieS and intended for
theater parties and excursions. These
cars will be furnished with pianos

out with costly furniture and in every
way as finely appointed as many
yachts. There will be raised seats on
the roof like the Broadway stages and
all facilities for observation. Electric
fans will be provided and cclored cleo
trio lights / think the time will come
when businessmen in the far end of
the city will have club cars, as they do
in New Jersey suburban towns, pro-
vided with whist tables, easy chairs
and perhaps sideboards. 1t may be
said that public travel would be inter-
fered with, but with the multitudln-
Gus lines of the company and better
speed travel would not be interfered
with"

tenn and proph osied its rapid extension.

our other branches. The COMPANY is
fully alert to the possibilities OF cleo
tricity as a motive power, and it looks
as if steam would have to go. Such eX-
tensive changes, however, require much
time and thought, but we will not be
deferred from them when there are sub
stantial advantages to be gained My
department is not especially concerned
with the problems of motive power,
and l therefore cannot discuss these
matters expertly or in detail, but all
the officers of the company are giving
attention to the question Of improving
the service by the use Of electricity
and am sure our engineers will not
diappoint the public. New Workers
will have reason to be proud of their
transportation facilities, and We will
lead the world in that line, as we DO
now In many others"

No More Vegetarian Restaurant.

The vegetarian restaurant that was
opened last winter has been closed up
on account of lack of sufficient pat
ronage to pay expenses. 1t made very
few converts to vegetarianism, though
for time there were many promising
recruits. The novelty of the thing
usually wore off in few days, and the
new disciple returned to his fleshly diet
with an appetite whetted by his short
abstinence. The regular customers OF
the place were noticeable for their sal
low compilations, and most of them had
the appearance of being poorly nour-
fshed. They could hardly be expected
to make converts to their mode Of liv-
Ing by posing as living examples of the
enect OF q diet which excluded all
Sorms Of anima, food-New York Sun.

THE MYSTIC THREE.


Something About the Time-Honored
Superstition for the Number.
I was reading an article the other
day on the superstitious regard fer the
number three, and it set me think
ing. There must be something in it The
third repetition Of anything is gener-
ally looked upon as a crisis. An arti-
Gle may be twice lost and recovered, but
when lost the third time is lost for
good. Twice man may pass through
some great danger in safety, but the
third time he loses his life.
If, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed all is we'll. Three
was called by Pythagoras the perfect
number, and we frequently find it's use
symbolical Of deity. For instance there
are the Trinity of the Christian relig-
ion, the trident of Neptune and the
three-forked lightning of Pluto. In N.Y.
thology there are the three Fates, the
three FurieS and the three GraceS.
Shakespeare introduced three witches.

| about the three wise men of Gotham,
and the song of the three blind mice
whose tails were cut off by the farm
er's wife.

and know that most doctors order their
medicine to be taken three times a day.
We eat three times day. The Bible

How Her Majesty lives.

A paragraph has appeared in the
Scotch papers stating that the queens
good health is owing to her careful
dieting, one of her practices being to
take "a small liquor glass of very fine
old whisky after both lunsheon and
dinner" This is pure invention, for
the queen never drinks an!s spirit I'M
diluted. Her majesty occasionally
takes a small glass of fine old whisky
mixed with tumbler of mineral water.
Persons must have queer idea OF
careful dieting" who include raw Spir-
it's in the regimen. The queen takes a
light breakfast, hearty luncheon, a
substantial tea, but at 8:45, when din
ner is served, her majesty eats very
sparingly, and only of the lightest and
most nutritious food. About midway
between breakfast and luncheon, when
the queen is transacting business (all
the heavy work of the day being over
and done with at 1:30) her majesty
takes a refresher in the shape of either
a cup or beef tea, as strong as it can be
made, or an egg beaten up with little
milk or sherry.

Some of Them Earn Only Enough Co Pay

How much do successful barristers
make In a year? Some particulars CIV
en- throw some light on the question.
It "a commonly said that Sir Charles
Russell never made less than f2O, 900
f25,eO0 per annum for many years pre-
ceding his promotion. Large as his in
come was, there were half dozen men
at the bar running it very close, says
a London paper. Both Sir Richard
Webster and Sir Edward Clarke are
making fully 100000 year. and men
like r. B. Finlay, Sir Henry James. J.
T. Murphy, Lawson Walton, Fielding
Dickens, w. Willis. Cozens HDrdy. Ora
ham Hastings and others are credited
with almost equally large earnings. But
most Q. C.'s are. of course. very much
less fortunate. There are large and
small incomes also among members Of
the junior bar. Men like English Har-
rison and r. M. Bray are, the writer Of
the article says. kept actively engaged
with good and remunerative work,
bringing in from $1,000 to $1,000 a year.

Felix Faure's Sumptuary Law.

The president of the French republic
has, on more than one occasion, been
a sumptuary law unto himself, and has
appeared in public in evening clothes
and white spats. In Paris this has been
allowed to pass as a harmless sort Of
solecism. But in the south, where the
minds of men are irritated for want Of
bull fights just now, these white spats
have come in for a good deal of adverse
comment A purist pointed out, the
other day, that white was actually the
Legitimist color. Why, he wanted to
know, didn't the president wear red
spats? The discussion thus started
ended in a resolution, carried unani-
mously, that the president, if he per-
sisted in wearing Legitimist spats,
should be requested to wear with them
pair Of blue trousers and a red waist
coat. Failing this, he must be asked
to express the whole tricolor in his pam
falcons, the question being reserved as
to whether the stripes are to run up
his legs or round them.

Is Doing a good Business.

Our new cigar firm seems to be doing
good business. The Kewana Herald
of this week says:
j. E. Ellis came down from Plymouth
Tuesday to visit with his family here.
He reports that he is meeting with far
better success than he expected in his
cigar business there, having sold 1920
cigars to Plymouth merchants the
first week aud he has had to add two
extra men to the force thus soon.

A visit reco ltly at the request OF the

as to It's being sustained. At present
the areas of the shops have been doubled
and cover from two to three acres, filled
with the choicest machinery, doing more
that double the work and turning out
more than twice the number of bicycle
rims than one year ago, keeping in en-
plOyment from two to three hundred
hands, and then are unable to supply
the demand f their goods. If the

not?
The officers of this company are: NJ.

president; George w. Marble, Superin-
tenGent; Geo. II. Thayer, Jr, secretary
and general manager, and at present
are principally employed in manu-
facture of the Plymouth wood rims

and faithful management of the officers
of this Company connected with the
mechanical genius of the superintend-
ent, that this corporation has attained
so nearly world wide reputation, and
become such helpful; auxiliary in the
promotion of our city's interest and

Labor Saving Machinery.

The Detroit Free Press says: 1t is
we'll known how ingenious machinery
has we'll nigh revolutlonized the once
intricate work of the carpenter, leaving
only the simplest part of the trade for
manual labor. Never was this innova-
ton patented devices more marked
than between 1880 and 1890, yet there
were 53,547 carpenters in the United
States in the former year, while there
were 140,62l in 1900, and the average
wages of the latter were 1915 as agains t
$3.50 for those who had far less machin-
cry to contend with. Between the
same years great strides were made in
the moulding and handling of brick
by machinery, yet the number of work
men doubled while the number of
yards was but slightly lncreas ed, and
the wages advanced from an annual
average of 1929 to $500. In few in
dustries has the saving of labor been
more marked than in the manufacture
of furniture, and the cheapening of
the product has been simply amazing
yet the number of men employed in it
increased from 55,3O4 in 1880 to 92,304
in 1890, wages advanced from 1888 to
1927. This line of evidence might be
persued throughout the list of indus
tries where, for any considerable time
machinery has been doing the work
of brains and hands. The conclusion
forced is that the introduction of labor.
saving machinery is not to reduce per-
manently the number of employees, but
simply to readjust the working force
and insure higher wages.

MAN AND THE CHATTING DISH
He Can Cook Better Than His Wife, Be-
cause More Confident.

More CODnOent.
Octave Thanet says that men use
chatting dish better than women. Per
haps it is because there is gaudy tri-
umph about chatting dish processes
which there is not in other cooking ex-
ploits Men never like to work behind
a screen. They enjoy the tumult and
the crowd and the cheering when they
strike a telling blow. A woman is
nervous TO see dozen eyes on her. Her
ears Jingle at the goodnatured COM
ments. She is frightened, she loses
confidence in herself. She looks fur
lively across the table at the. man for
whom she cares for more than
ali the rest, and he is telling
the lady who gives such charming din
ners hat he must send his wife over
to hcr for series of lessons-and 1t is
all cor for the poor creature at the
alco,- y lamp. If she be wise she Will
tip no lamp over and cover her retreat.
A mans self-confidence is of stouter
fibre. He is.''t looking at his wife. he
is LOOKING at his dish: if any ingredient
be missing to call loud and spare not
for that was voice given; naturally he
gets everything, whether he has for
gotten anything or no, and the entire
service of the meal stops until he has
had. his will A man will have two
maids and a large stately butler run
ming about the waiting room on his
preparation of terrapin a la Maryland.
or lobster la Newberg; and he will be
no whit embarrassed. A woman is
scared to interrupt the feast by with
drawing one servant. And the man IS
right and the woman is wrong; for peo-
pie can wait for their wine or their
sauces, but an alcohol flame waits on
no man. But the difference between
man and woman as cooks is too near
other burning questions for one to dis
cuss with the thermometer at 80.
