THE MODEL HUSBAND.
Surely This Man Knoweth How to ElsV
His Own Horn.


His Own Horn.
am a model husband. My wifi,
couldn't lay her hands on another one
like me in fortnight. When the baby
cries at night l get up and fix him anG
put him back to sleep. We have beer
married three years and we have the
sweetest little baby boy in the world
I never cause my wife any trouble
When she is all tired and worn out J
just say: Come, now, old sweetheart
go lie down, and let me finish this job
We have great number of little
dresses for Wendell, and l know where
they are kept and how to get at them
My wife's father is n well-to-do farm
er, and 1 like my wife's mother. ]
never see any other woman who can
walk little better than my wife, OF
who looks just little sweeter.
wouldn't marry the best woman on
earth unless 1 thought she filled the
bill for perfection, from my stand
point of judgment. l thought my wife
did, and she does. When she gets bis
cult turned over few times between
her hands and puts it in the pan,
know the biscuits are going to be ex
actly right. No doubt about it. We
have no drip coffee pot, but she makes
the blessedest drip coffee you ever
saw, and has the commonest kind of an
old tin coffee pot. She has ma jestio
bearing, too. Her feet set just exactly
as a perfect woman's feet set Her
head could be carried no better if she
tried for a hundred years.
When / want to find out If anything
is right or not, l just get it before her
mind and figure on her Judgment. She
hits 1t every time. Don't ask me how
she does it. There is no spittoon
around the house. l know where the
peg for my hat is, and every time
take it off in the house hang it on this
peg. My coat has peg, too, and there
is where my coat is found when not on
my back. There is no club on earth
like my wife and Wendell. She is the
outside guard and the inside guard.
She is the light in the east, and the in
tellect in the west. She is my bright
and morning star. She can smell n
loose button hundred yards, and she
has way of noticing the little specks
on my coat lapel, as she used to before
we were married. She loves me and
Wendell. I don't find anybody that
suits me half as well as she does, sweet
and gentle from morning to night.
When want to be cross, she won't let
me. When get cold-hearted and the
last speck of brotherly love is oozing
out of me, just one touch of her pres
ence stops that disposition. All in all,
my wife is o. X. and am model hus-
band.-Erastus Plokey, in House
keeper.

The divorce case of Mrs. Paul Summa
against her husband, which was being
heard in Wilkssbarre last week, came to
very unexpected and sensational end
ing. Papers were filed by Mrs. Summa
two years ago charging her husband
with cruelty and desertion. There were
many obstacles in the way of a hearing
and finally the case was begun before
Examiner j. V. Brownell. Attorney
Davis represented the petitioner, but
the husband was not represented. Mrs.
Summa swore as to her husbands dis
appearance, his cruelty, neglect and de-
sertiOn.
As she left the stand her attorney,
Mr.. Davis, was called out to long
distance telephone, where he was told
that Paul Summa had just died at Jersey
City. When Mrs. Summa was informed
of the message she broke down and
cried violently and almost became
hysterical. The divorce proceedings
were, of course, abandoned.
The parties concerned are well known
here. Mr.. Summa kept the saloon at
the southeast corner of Main and Centre
streets about ten years ago. After
leaving here the couple resided at Pond
Creek, then at Edwardsville and later
at Kingston

To Make Paper Lamp Shades.

If you know just how to go to work,
a paper lamp shade is most easily
made. The crimped paper comes in
circular lengths expressly adapted to
this use. Choose three well-assorted
tints harmonizing with your furnish
ings; place the lamp before you on n
table, with it's wire frame on, and slip
the paper over, drawing it together at
the top and leaving n good heading.
Tie 1t loosely around the wire with n
string, in order to regulate the fulness
before you tighten it. Put over the
other two papers in the same way and
then draw or bend the lowest paper
under about two inches above the edge,
pulling it out slightly; form the next
into waves and draw the upper one into
waves above, SO that it will form van
dykes all around. A well-made paper
flower of harmonizing tints nestled
among the folds adds to the effect.

THE KNOCKOUT BLOW.
PRESIDENTl CLEVELAND PROMPTLY
SlGNED-:THE CATRON BILL.

Prize Fighting in the Territories of the
United States Will BE Prevented with
All the Power the Government Pos

The Catron bill to prevent prize fight

| ward, and in its case the usual routine
was departed from and the measure
taken at once to Mr.. Cleveland, who,
after examining its provisions, promptly
attached his signature, so that from the
date of signature prize fighting is a
felony on all soil over which the federal
government has exclusive Jurisdiction.
Prompt measures will be taken to see
that it is not violated
BY the signature of the anti-prize fight
bill the president has placed upon Cover
nor Thornton, of New Mexico, the res
possibility for the prevention of the
Fitzsimmons-Maher mill in that terri
tory, whore it is scheduled to take place
on Friday. The governor has been in
formed of the signature of the act. so
that he is fully aware that it is law OF
the land from this moment.
The federal authorities, however, are
disposed to do everything in their power
to assist in the execution of the law if
the governor should find it beyond the
unaided ability of the territorial officers
to prevent the fight in the territory.
To this end the governor may, after he
has satisfied himself that his local forces
are insufficient to meet the case, call
upon the United States marshal for as
sistance, and the latter in turn may
avail himself of the services of all of the
United States troops in the department
of Colorado, if that many are necessary,
in order to suppress any Illegal gather
ing or breach of the new law.
Proper instructions will be sent by
the war department to General Whea-
ton, the department commander at Den
yer, to promptly supply all of the force
requisite upon the request of the proper
authorities, and altogether the national
government is prepared to make it very
unpleasant and dangerous for any per-
son who participates in Il prize fight in
any of the federal territories, or even
gives aid and comfort to the would-be
| fighters, by assembling at any point to
witness Il fight.

Notes About Pugilists.

Jerome Qugley, of Philadelphia, and
John Bonner, of Lansford, have been
matched to spar ten rounds at catch
weight at Il well known resort in Schuvl-
kill county. The go will take place on

AT the Globe theatre, Philadelphia, on

between "Scaldy Bill' Quinn and Jack
Conroy, as the former was punishing his

Luzerne's Support of Criminals,

During the year 1895 Luzerne county
had 102 prisoners confined in the east
ern penitentiary at Philadelphia. For
these the county has to pay Is cents a
day each and the value of the work
done by the prisoners is deducted from
the bill. 1t seems rather strange that,
although nearly all of the prisoners sen.
fenced to that institution are given
''hard labor" few of them have any
credit to their accounts and what cred
its there are seem very small.
The total bill the county has to pay
for the convicts there last year Is
S3,923.25, or an average of S2s.66 fol

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach tho diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the innamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

President Walter Objected.

The facts in reference to the anthra-
cite coal trade settlement have not vet
been fully given to the public, but there
now seems to be no reason why they
should not be printed, says an exchange.

Gus, though it was practically so. The
Coke Bros interest was not satisfied
with the 315 per cent allotment OF ton
mage which it received and refused to
accept it, the representative, who was
no other than President Walter himself
leaving the meeting before adjournment
The other companies then tacitly
agreed to allow the ID. S. e S. to take
lilo per cent and to arrange in some
way for the overproduction. The Read
ing Company objected to any curtailment
of its 20}3 per cent by reason of this
supplementary arrangement, and it was
insisted that Readings tonnage should
be 20]9 per cent of any tonnage which
the concession to the Coke Bros. will
make necessary.
There is also reason to believe that
a further concession of Il substantial
nature was made to the Reading, and
those who are not familiar with all the
details of the big trusts arrangement
are wondering which company will have
to stand the reduction which President
Walters objection made necessary.

HEAD AND HANDS.
How to Keep Them in Good Condition
All the Year Around.

How to Keep Them in Good Condition
All the Year Around.
AT this season of the year it is almost
impossible to keep the hands from chap
ping and looking red when they are in
water as frequently as 1t is necessary to
have them. Below is given a most ex-
cellent recipe for making laureline,
which is simply and easily prepared at
home and very inexpensive.
Two ounces of glycerine, one ounce
of alcohol, one-fourth ounce Of gum
tragacanth, one-fourth to one-half
ounce of rose water or violet perfume,
one pint of water; soak the tragacanth
in the water two days, then strain and
add the other ingredients. Cut the
glycerine with the alcohol. If 1t should
be too thick add little more water and
alcohol. Bottle and it is ready for use.
In very cold weather, IL it is too thick
to pour easily, heat it by setting over
the register or in bowl of hot water.
While most people admit there is
nothing better for the scalp than thor
ough brushing of the hair morning and
night, many will not persist in this,
and are continually asking what will
make the hair come in when it is fast
coming out. Many of the best hair
dressers and BARRIERS are recommending
rubbing pure grease in very thoroughly
every night or every other night. In
several instances this has proved very
effectual and a new growth of short and
strong fuzz all over the head has been
the result.
Many children and some Of an older
growth are severely troubled with
dandruff in the scalp, which always
makes the head and hair look dirty
This can be removed by rubbing pure
grease in every other night and in the
morning following wash thoroughly
with tar soap.-Carrie May Ashton, in

that his right leg was fractured his face
and body were severely cut by the coal
