WIFE ENTERTAlNS HUSBAND
Establishes Home Buffet, Breaks Up n
Club and Makes Money.

Mrs. Salus could not understand why
her husband preferred the club to his
own den"
Because 1 can have things there that
1 can't have at home" explained Mr..
Salus.
you can play cards here, can't you?
You can smoke or drink or do anything
you want to-"
Eyes, but I like to be with my
friends. l like to be with Raikes and
Thompson and Burgess and those fell
lows"
"Why don't you have them come
over here?"
well, in the first place, I can't af-
ford to provide refreshments every
evening in the week for all of my
friends, and in the second place, it
wouldn't be any fun for us to sit here
and play cards, because no one could
be stuck"
81 suppose if we had a regular buffet
mere in the house you wouldn't mind
having your friends come-that is, if
they would pay when they were stuck,
as you call it,"
"You don't expect me to open a buff
fet and charge visitors for their cigars
and beverages do you?"
Certainly not. I'll run the buffet
myself. You bring all the men over
some night and I'll have a full line of
goods ready for you"
Salus pooh-poohed the idea, which
had been conceived half in fun but
Raikes, when he heard of it, was i'm
pressed. He induced Burgess and
Thompson to join with him, and they
outvoted Salus and moved over to the
Salus house for their evenings amuse-
ment. Mrs. Salus provided the cigars
and had the girl take in the beverages
to them, and she kept a strict account
of the checks and charged club prices.
AS a special inducement she served
free lunch late in the evening. This
was something which the men had
never received at the club They COM
plimented Mrs. Salus on the excellence
of the service, and told Mr.. Salus that
he ought to be proud of such a wife. A
bachelor profoundly admires any wo-
man who allows her husband to act as
if he were an unmarried person of nc
responsibilities. I he bachelor is led
IL believe that married life is not a
total gloom, after all.
I'm afraid that the revenue officers
and the police will find out about it,
said Salus, when he was congratulated
you see, my wife is running this place
without a license, and she keeps open
after midnight
At the end of the first week Mrs
Salus took stock and estimated that
she had cleared SS
"Why note" asked Salus. "You
haven't any rent to pay. no expenses
for heating or lighting your place. ant
the free lunch doesn't cost anything
No wonder you make money. Id like
to get a half interest in the business.
But Mrs Salus would not sell out
She hopes to make enough money tC
enable her to take a trip to Europe.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
COLLEGE, SAL ARIES.


A college officer, writing in the New
York Evening Post, gives some informa-
ton regarding the salaries paid to col
lege professors, which is calculated to
relieve the impression which some peo-
pie entertain that such positions are
generously compensated.
Beginning with Harvard. the salary
paid to full professors is $4,000. Until
recently they received during their first
seven years of service only $4,000. In a
few special cases a salary of $4,000 is
paid. Assistant professors get $500.
But the instructors, who are the more
numerous teaching body, receive only
$1,000 to $500. The whole amount an
nually paid for instruction, divided by
the number of officers of instruction in
the university. gives only $1,000 as the
average salary paid. At Yale the aver
age is still lower. At Columbia the aver
age is $1,000. An assistant there is paid
only $500; tutor $1,000, with an annual
increase of 500 to $500; an instructor
$1,000, with an annual increase to S2000
and adjunct professors and professors
salaries ranging from S2500 to $5000
which is paid in a few cases.
AS to the University of Chicago, some
of the "star" members of the faculty are
paid high salaries, but the men who are
carrying on the real work of the univer-
sity are not largely paid. A reader gets
500, an assistant 5000, tutor Sll00, an
instructor $500. The higher grades
are fixed by agreement, but those who
are not "stars" are not more literally
paid than elsewhere.
AT certain other institutions the maxi
mum salaries paid are as follows: Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, $4,000; Univer-
sity of Virginia, $4,000 and house ;
Princeton, $4,000 and house; Wesleyan,
S2500; Dartmouth, S2200; University of
Vermont. $1,000. These are the salaries
which represent the ultimate goal of
successful teaching in these institutions.
According to a careful comparison of
figures made by President Harper, the
average salary paid to full professors in
about $50 colleges is less than $500.
These facts go far to justify the some
what bitter conclusion which "a college
officer" reaches
"You ask how men, mot mere living
encyclopedias, but men of flesh and
blood can live and have families and
be like other men on such salaries? The
answer is simple; they can't. There are
various ways in which they get along
without. Some of them have inherited
money; some marry rich wives; some
don't marry at all those who are not SC
fortunate or sensible have to sell what
ever time and energy they can or vii
economic from the work they are paiC
for, in as Legitimate ways as possible
for little extra money to exc out wha
the college allows them."-Bostol
journal.

Of all the States in the Union. this
state stands about the best chance OF
making its mark. 1t has Lakes Su-
peror and Michigan on the east,
on the south Wisconsin and Lake
Michigan. and on the west Min
nesOta, the Mississippi river and a lit
tie of Lake SUPERIOR
Besides this magnificent location, the
State Of Superior starts in with a pop
.ulation of nearly 100000 people Be
sides this, Superior has an inexhausti-
bic mining supply. 1t contains iron
and copper enough to supply the whole
world and its building stone is re-
markable all across the country. Its
mining facilities make it KlOndike
in copper.
The way in which Michigan came to
have an upper peninsula, and the man
ner in which it was divided, is very
interesting. Michigan was the thir-
teenth State admitted to the I'm
ion, and came in by an act of
Congress in January, 1897. 1t
extended further south than it
now does and westward to the Mis-
souri, river, but owing to some pOliti-
cal deal on its admission a part Of its
southern border was cut off and Civ
en- to Ohio. A strip had also been Civ
en- to Indiana a few years before Aft
er Michigan became fully settled as a
State, the Governor of Michigan made
great fuss about these slices that had
been cut off, and so, to quiet him, what
is now known as the Upper Peninsula
was granted to him. This made a
State that was separated by a great
body of water, but Notwithstanding
this obstacle, Michigan has always
ruled both its upper and lower PENN
sulas as we'll
The lower Michigan people are said
to be in favor of losing their upper
peninsula because they feel that II is
no part of them, while the Upper Pc
ninsula certainly feels that it should
be independent.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrow'S Method of Curing Dis
eases Accusing the Interests of
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the Kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly alb orbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various Impurities, winch, If permitted
to course through the system, quickly render
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregulauty in the per
Torrance of this function il Immediately
manifested in a general weakening of the
body; tendency to give ont with nttleeNer
tion. This symptom is closely followed by
others of much more distressing nature which
il is often customary to attribute to other
causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist OF
Springfield, Ohio, using as Il Lasis for his
work the theory that the kineys are respon
sblc for the condition of our health, has pro
duced Il new remedy which he has named
Morrow kidneOids, the purpose OF which j,
to act directly on the kidney =, eliminating IA
unnatural deposits ANA rectltylng the damage
caused by their existence.
The remarkable results obtained by thi:
medicine have attracted wide attention ant
established II new method OF treating disease
the efficacy of which cannot be disputed.

1--WE have stopped feeding tramps at
our house" said a farmer living near
St. Paul the other day. For years my
wife has never turned one of those fell
lows empty-handed from the door but
we had a lesson this year. We had a
large crop of hay to harvest, and we
tried in vain to secure one of those fell
lows to work for Sl50 per day and
board. Not one of them would accept
it at that or any other price They
simply laughed at us. / went over to
a place where a lot of fellows who
claimed to be hunting work had made
their headquarters, and tried them
with the same success. One of my
neighbors had just the same expert
ence, and l know of other instances
| am no more hard hearted than most
men, but | know of no reason why
should work early and late to feed a
lot of worthless fellows who will not
work under any consideration.-St

DOGS OF BELGIUM.
They Cultivate the Crops and Then Haul
Them to Market.

Most of the field work in Belgium is
done by women and dogs. You seldom
see a man in the harvest field. The
women plow, plant, reap and carry
the harvest to market, with a dog
hitched to the wagon in the place of a
horse or an OK. The dogs of Belgium
earn their living They are a monglel
race, and are trained from the litter to
haul burdens. When they reach their
destination or stop on the way they lie
down under the cart and sleep with an
easy conscience, and when they are at
work they wear detected expressions,
as if they realized the difference be-
tween their fate and that of the ours
of free country.
