He cries to be delivered above All
things from the presidential fool"
Now what kind Of a woman is a "pestil-
entail fool?' 1t is AFR. Speeds way OF
titling a nagging woman. He thinks that
kind of a helpmate is enough to drive a
man to drink, suicide. anything. Weli'
solomon thought something like that, for
he imagined a roof top alone better than
whole house that held a contentious
woman.
saTo be a downright scold," says Mr.
Speed sis fatal and makes a woman
quite Impossible. But there is some
thing in which some women sometimes
indulge which is worse than scoldlng.
That something worse I shall for lack
of a better term call nagging. Down
right scolding is fatal. 1t does its work
as a swift bullet at short range work.
1t kills clearly and surely. But nagging
eats as does a cancer. 1t is as deadly in
the end, hut it takes longer to do its
hideous work, and it is a hundred thou
sand times more painful.
IAN intellectual woman who nags can
play the deuce, for intellect commands
respect in the sufferer, while it sup
plies the lady with ingenious methods of
torture. But the mere fool is the worse,
as she is also the most frequent. There
is sure to be IN inconsequence about her
nagging more irritating thar anything
in the world. She will break out on
week days and holidays, and is sure to
make things at once lively and sad for
the poor being who happens to wear her
letters.
at is a most untoward fate to be mar
ried to one giving to nagging. And yet
a young fellow looking for a wife may
get one of this sort without in the least
intending to do so. Young fellows In
armorous mood are not very cool Of
judgment. and besides, young fellows
in the mating season have rarely ar
rived at the age of calm discretion and
deliberate wisdom. AS a rule they can

other impracticables. But their chances
of getting 'naggers' is pretty Slim"
How every one sympathizes with Mr..
Speed
Nagging never converted anyone.
A dear old lady Of 50 years. whose life
and face was a gospel of Christian char
ity. electrified a group of young matrons
recently. They were discussing a man
who a sworn a good round oath at his
wife-just once. II dom blame him"
said grandma. "She had nagged him
for a year."
Nr.NSpeed think the other serious mis-
take is to marry out of your class. He
thinks this is fatal to a man, sooner Or
later. It will work the bitterest unhap-
piness to marry outside the class in which
one feels comfortable. and at home is abb
solutely a sin against ature he says. If
by compromise and reformations men
and women of different classes finally
succeed in establishing an easy cordially

case that the nicer partner in the union
has sacrificed his or her superiority of
taste and manner and mode of thought.
