A Matrimonial snag.


1 call it matrimonial snag because the
matrimonial bark is always going to pieces
on it. 1t does mischief to other things. in
terferes with the smooth current of innu-
merable friendships and mars many a close
intimacy. But it is to the bark in which a
man and his wife have been launched to-
gether that it does the greatest harm.
Now this snag in itself is not formida-
BILE affair. 1t is made up simply of two di-
verse opinions about resting. Yet jagged
reef is more dangerous, and all those who
cannot sail over it must inevitably be
wrecked on it.
A man. for instance, has worked all day
out of doors-in the fields maybe. He has
had the air and the sun and converse with
men of his kind. Resting to him means
coming home, stretching out his limbs and
breathing In domestic peace.
The woman. however, has been in all day,
without the air and without the sun, dust
ing, sweeping, cooking. sewing disciplining
meeting no one with whom an idea could
be fnterchanged, or from whom new di-
rection for her thoughts could be gained.
When night comes, her greatest rest would
seem to lie in a change of scene, the bring
ing in of outside interests, or more SYM
pathetic and enlivening intercourse with
her husband.
He, however, cannot understand this.
You are restless" he says to her. ''discon-
tented. But you cannot find anything bet
ter than this wherever you go. Take my
word for it; / have seen them ALL" And
he folds his hands and puffs at his pipe, and
basks in the quiet contentment of a soul
that has been satisfied.
1t is the same thing when man goes
down town all day and leaves the woman at
home. His idea of resting is a cheerful fire
side at night; a wife as bright, as gay and
responsive as when she received in her
mothers house and all care was spared her.
m so tired, i would like to go to sleep
with the children at O'clock" many
Wife signs. But 1t is just the time my huS-
band likes me to be at my best. 1t bothers
him to have me tired. and he has such diff
ferent ideas of resting from mine"
Duties, on the other hand, may have
called the woman out of doors all day, and
duties may have kept the man in an office.
Then 1t may rest him to go out at night.
He may crave amusement and diversion,
some entertainment for the mind. These
distract his thoughts and rest his BRAIN and
make him freSher for the morroW's work.
But the thousand demands of the day,
the obligations and requirements of some
position she must fill, have used the woman
up The thought of new excitements and
diversions only wearies her. The efforts
she makes to respond to her husbands
wishes seem spiritless, and no pleasure is
given or felt. He cannot understand why
1t all is. She cannot understand why he
does not see. He grows disconnected, she
dissatisfied. The need of another kind of
sympathy is suggested. Interests begin to
diverge, and two paths are made, growing
every day wider apart.

New York, Dec 2O.-Kid Mcfarland,
the local lightweight who not so very

by Dal Hawkins, Of California, at the
Lenox Athletic Club tonight.
When the end came the crowd was
taken by surprise, for up TO that point

advantage Mcfarland was chiefly at
fault because he mixed II up too soon
with a vigorous hard puncher who was

Kid presented to him. Mcfarland not

knocked out by Spike" Sullivan, both

CAUGHT AND LOCK ED UP.
Members Of the Chinese Legation Rudely
Insulted In the Street.

Members OF the Chinese LeGauon huueiy
Insulted In the Street.
Complaint was recently made to the Dis
trict Commissioners, reciting that insults
were frequently offered to members Of the
Chinese legation while on the street by
mischievous young men and request
made that the police look into the mat
ter and put a stop to the practice. As
result of the complaint Major Sylvester
issued a general order setting forth that
the offenses were of highly discourteous
nature and at times likely to result dis
astrously to either the joker or victim or
both. He instructed the men of his de-
partment to exercise unusual energy in
arresting all persons who were found per-
petra,ing such alleged jokes and to prose-
cute the offenders to the fullest extent of
the law.
The first arrest since Major Sylvester's
order was made last night by Policeman
Harry Warren, of the First precinct, when
he locked up Frank Paris. an eighteen
year-old youth, who lives at No. 922 f
Street northwest.
Warren, who was in citizens clothes,
while walking on d Street between

coming alarmed for their safety. Police
man Warren arrived on the scene and
placed Paris under arrest. The COM
panion escaped but as he is known, will

Warren afterward met the three mem
bers of the legation at Sakss stores
where they were bound when the trouble
arose. He learned from them that they
were Mr.. Chow Tsz-chi, second secretary
of the legation, and two attaches. Mr.
Tsz-chi was at that time disinclined to
prosecute the young men, but signified
his intention of addressing communica-
ton to the District Commissioners rela-
tive to the affair
In the event of the members of the le-
CATION not appearing against Paris, Po-
iiceman Warren will prosecute him in
court this morning.
