Where Men Are Careless

Edward Box writes upon "When
Men Are ThOughtless" in May Ladies
Home Journal, directing attention to
the singular fact that the American
man, who is the best and most
thoughtful husband in the world,
should yet be peculiarly thoughtlesS
as to the future of his wife and chill.
dren in the event of his DEATH"
Mr.. Box fOrcibly contends that the
husband should have his affairs in
such condition that in the event of
death coming to him, his wife and
children, or those dependent upon
him, would not suffer. In this con-
nectiOn he says: IL firmly believe
thai it is the duty of every man to be
insured. With insurance policies to
be had at such low rates as is at
present the case, there is scarcely
a man who cannot afford some sort of
a policy. no matter how small an
amount it may call for. What seems
to the man himself in good health as
a small amount for an insurance pol
ICY, often turns out TO be a modest
fortune to the woman or children
who survive him. l wish, sometimes,
that the taking out of an insurance
policy on the part of the husband, for
an amount according to his means,
might be made an obligatory part of
every marriage ceremony. l know
whereof | speak when l say that
there are hundreds CT women in the
homes of this land who are daily
carrying with them the fear that
their husbands or fathers are neglect
ing or forgetting to make suitable
provision for them as widows or Or
phans. They shrink from speaking
to the men of their homes about the
matter. No man can afford to neg
lect a simple duty which may mean
all the difference between happiness
and misery to his family. Suitable
provision for them he cannot allow
himself to put off, for surely it is
true that in the midst of life we are
in DEATH"

Three Strong National Tickets Sure

Party machinery is destined this
year to be very seriously fractured.
There viii be at least three strong
presidential tickets in the field. II
Mr.. Mckinley should be nominated at
St. Louis, there will certainly be a
split at Chicago. The result of that
split will be an extreme gold party
aud an extreme silver party. The Re-
publican phalanx, on the other hand,
will not split the center. 1t willmere-
ly lose part gifts extreme right wing,
and part of its extreme left wing,
That is to say, some Eastern business
men who call themselves Republicans
would rather support candidate like
Carlisle on gold platform than sup

Hard luck is almost a synonym fOl

Luck walks while work rides in a

Luck pictures dollar, while work

Luck dreams of a nome, but work
builds one.
To trust to luck is like fishing with

Luck is disease for which hard
work is the only remedy.
Luck longs for dinne., while labor
goes OUT and earns one.
Luck goes baretOOted, while work
never lacks for pair of shoes.
Luck is weather vane with the

The death by suicide Of Lieutenant
Swift, Of the Ninth Cavalry, in Janu-
airy, says the Electrical Engineer,
closed one Of the most remarkable
careers in the United States Army.
From the position Of telegraph
operator in a small town of Virginia.
ne became a private, corporal, SER
geant and lieutenant 10 as many days
as there were promotions. When
Gen. Myers organized the Signal Corps
OF the army, Swift had considerable
local reputation as telegrapher, and
to secure his services as an instructor
ne was enlisted in the corps and pro-
NOTED from day to day until he at
tanned the rank of second lieutenant.
After joining the corps and beginning
his work as instructor he devoted
himself to the study Of electricity
and telegraphy, becoming one of the
most skillful operators that the world
has ever known, and an authority on
the subject. There were a lot of
fancy tricks in sending and receiving
messages that Swift used to do. One
OF them was to take two messages at
the same time. He could write
equally well, aud beautifully, with
either hand, and conld take a message
from one instrument, writing it out
with his left hand. while he copied
another message with his right. He
could also send message with one
hand while he received another mes.
