Especial Correspondence of Record Union.
PORTLAND or, March 11-There
are some women to whom admiration
is as necessary as the breath they
draw. 1t matters not whether they are
married or single, they must always be
surrounded by coterie of worshipful
admirers of the opposite Sex.
Whether these men are really in love
with them or not makes very little
difference; it's the admiration these
women crave, not the honest, true
affection of good man. It's this silly
longing for admiration from men other
than her husband that continually fill
our divorce courts.
Some married women who retain
their good looks even after their chill
dren are almost grown to mans or wo-
mans estate, think it a great thing to
Haunt the fact in the eyes of younger
and less attractive women that they
can yet command admiration Such
women as these have no right to be the
guardian of a daughter just budding
into womanhood, for the mothers love
OF admiration often blinds her eyes to
the fact that the men who hang around
her are not fit, morally, to breathe the
same air v it'll her innocent, pure mind
ed daughter.
The husbands of such women are pro-
vertically blind to the fact that their
wives are exciting undue comment, OF
that they are jeopardizing the reputa-
ton of their children Absorbed in
business cares they have no time nor
care as to what goes ON outside their
offices. Some day they are brought to
a full realization of what has been go
ing on and the usual divorce and scan
dal in high life is the result
Much unhappiness of this sort could.
l believe, be spared many husbands and
wives if the husband would only enter
more FULL into the home life. AS it is
now the home is merely a temporary
resting place. Half the time he gets his
meals down town and more often than
not he spends not only his evenings, but
his nights as Well at some club or ho-
tel, leaving his wife unthought of at
home
There are some women who will
stand this sort of treatment and glory
in the fact that they are making vol
untary martyrs out of themselves but
if the neglected wife is pleasing in ap-
pearance and conscious of the fact that
her beauty has not faded, and moreover
is of lively disposition she will soon
rebel at her solitude, and the conse-
Quence is, that while her husband is
away the wife will entertain her gen
tleman friends at home. In all such
cases there is usually one masculine
friend more privileged than the rest
one to whom the house is always open;
one who comes earlier and stays later
than the others.
All of this may be very harmless at
first, but take a pretty, vivacious wo-
man and 6. handsome, blase man of the
world, throw them constantly in each
others society and in nine cases out OF
ten trouble will surely follow; it is only
natural that it should be 50. The fault
in such cases seems to lie on both Sides
yet heaviest on the side of the man
who, if he had remained at home more
and paid more attention to his wife, she

doubtless would never think of gaining
| the attention of strange men.
| One of the hardest crosses that
pretty married woman has to bear IS
| the knowledge that her husband no
| longer pays her those little lover-nke
| attentions that he did in the days OF
| their courtship. Women have more
| time to brood over these things than
| men; being less occupied with weiSnty
matters they have ample leisure TO cui-
| tivate the imaginative and emoti"h;t
| part of their nature. To them a KISS.
| or caress from a man they love IS
not a mere matter of duty or form. but
| is invested with a tender, subtle some
thing all its own.
Men may laugh at women, If they
will, for their emotional vagaries, yet
if they would but pay more attention
to them there would be less heart
aches and fewer divorces.
The millennium cannot come all 1T
once but each of us can do our mite
toward fastening its advent. l would
suggest. as a beginning, the betterment
of mankind.
There are men and women all around
US who are starving not so much for
the material things of life as they are
mentally for kind word or even a
look, now and then.
Has it ever struck you. my friends,
that mental starvation of this sort Will,
in time, lead to dependency, despair
and perhaps worse? A woman of my
acquaintance went entirely to the bad
for the simple reason that her husband
failed in that tenderness he had shown
her when she was girl. One day she
ran away with man her inferior In
every respect; she left behind her an
elegant home and three little girls to
bear the brunt of her disgrace when
they get old enough to realize 1t. At
forwards when her husband secured
divorce she married the man for whom
she sacrificed honor and reputation
and all that good women hold most
dear and guard most jealousy. She
is now living with the man of her
choice in miserable quarters and |
know that she often goes without the
necessarieS of life, yet she holds up her
head as defiantly as ever and stoutly
maintains that she is happier than
ever because she has now what she
never had before-love.
| am not holding this woman up as a
pattern but as one of the many in
stances of what systematic neglect on
the part of a man will lead a woman to
do.
1t only requires a little thoughtfup
ness on the part of a man to make
Woman's life happy and complete; as
rule women are not the unreasonable,
exacting creatures they are too often
made out to be. 1t takes only trifieS
light as air to please her; she will with
her fine. subtle instinct find the kindly
thought and treasure and appreciate
it for days and weeks afterwards.

NOT IN HER CLASS,

He was very tall god in shape
Tall, straight and clean of limb,
And all the virtues of strong men
Seemed to abide in him.
But still he failed to win the girl
Who had inttamed his breast,
And whose fond father owned a score
OF railroads in the West.
And do you wonder why she spurned
This wonder of a man?
He had no title and was just
A plain American!

The voters of Barton county should
remember the efforts of the republi.
cans last fall to overthrow the ex-
pressed will of the people by contest
proceedings. There was no question
whatever about the fair election of
our candidates, yet defeated republic
. cans opened contest and threw a lot
of unnecessary costs upon innocent
men, in the hope that by some sharp
practice, and by throwing out the
votes of half the voters of the county
they might overthrow the plainly ex :
pressed will of the majority and get
themselves into office. Men, let US
make the majorities SO large this year
that there will be no more contest
nonsense. Lut US begin at the top OF
our ticket and vote 'er straight down
to the bottom. Let us vote our
principles and the majority will be
overwhelming.

Safe Robbers at Work,

Thursday night of last week the
safes at Dickson & Shores meat market
and the Great Bend Grain Co.'S. Office
were robbed of their contents, some.
9 thing near 500. The Moses Bros.
Grain Co. Office was also broken into,
but the safe was not got open.
Thursday morning a rather mechan-
ical appearing man, dark completed,
and weighing about $50. called at a
number of business houses, at the
banks, postoffice, and county offices,
representing himself to be an agent
for the Moseler Safe and Lock Co.,
and asking abouts the various safes
and their condition. He gave the
name of Tom Kanady, and offered to
clean up and put in repair any locks
that needed it at very low price. At
Dickson & Shores he got into CONVEX.
sation with Joe Schaffer, the butcher,
and seemed to know lots of people Joe
knew in Chicago. He made himself
quite at home. calling in and chatting
with Joe several times. He talked
about his business, explained all about
how safes and their combination locks
were made, and went to the shop safe,
the door of which stood open, and il
Illustrated his knowledge by taking off
the combination and explaining it.
Said he was waiting in this city for
some repairs, saying that he had re-.
paired Fair 8 Shaak's safe at Sterling,
etc. When he had the combination off
he said he had just as well 60 ahead
and clean it up, and did so, making it
work smoothly. He went into the back
room two or three times after a drink.
and it is supposed he at that time fixed
the fastenings of the window to suit
him; for that night the building was
entered and the safe robbed and left
30 locked that it had to be broken open
with cold .chisel.
At the Grain Co. Office he had evi.
IDENTIFY opened the front door with
false key. He robbed the safe there
and left it unlocked. At the Moses
Bros. Office he broke open the west
door, but did not get the safe open
The fellow had thorough knowledge
Of safes, smooth tongue and plenty
of gall. 1t is thought he also had one
or two pals in the persons of two
young Fellows who sold cheap jewely
on the streets that day, as he doubtless
had some one on the watch while he
did his night work. No clue to his
whereabouts, as usual.
