LUNCH TIME TOO SHORT.

A housekeeping friend of mine and I
took lunch the other day. He had never
been out of the state OF Ohio, while I
was back from three years residence
and travel in India. Now" said my
innocent companion, as he slipped his
coffee, 1--WE have half an hour yet before
us; suppose you tell me all about India
You talk and I'll listen"
An attack of lOckjaw could not have
shut off my speech more completely.
At last managed to articuiate: "Ex-
cuse me; it's too big sugject Come to
me some time when we can both spare
an entire month, and I'll invest the
whole of it in telling you part of what
little know about India
And yet 1 am confronted this blessed
moment with a task even more puzzling
and complicated--to tell all about the
human liver. Nothing could be better,
If it were possible. But it isn't; not at
one sitting. So 1 will turn this mans
letter over to you exactly as he wrote
1t, and perhaps venture a word or two
at the end:
several years ago 1 found myself in
such condition that could neither sit,
stand or lie without great pain. My
nights were full of suffering. / would
roll from side to side in a vain effort to
secure an easy position, so L could go to

seemed to cause me more pain than the
last. The experience was so continuous
that I used to dread to have the night
come.
I'm the morning the pain would catch

our own food at our own tables; when
all we shall have to do is to attach a wire
to the electric fixture overhead, and on a
neat slab, heated by electricity, cook
eggs, steaks. and cakes exactly to suit
our own tastes, to say nothing of the en-
joyment of having everything fresh and

WOMAN EARNS HER WAGES
An Indiana Law Court Decides n Case
in Favor of OverwOrked
wife.

An interesting law case has just been
settled in the appellate court of Indiana
which involves the wages received by
Il woman from her husband for cIerking
in his shoe store. The court decided
against the trust company.
The wife worked for $3.50 a week and
saved her money, which was invested
in building association stock. When
the amount mas reached 81 GEO, bust
ness fell Off, and the husband was forced
to borrow from his wife till all her
savings were gone, when he made an
assignment. He also owed her years
wages, and her claim against the as
signee for $2.37S was resisted on the
ground that a husband could not make
valid contract to pay his wife for her
services. The lower court took this
view of the case, but when it reached
the appellate court the finding of the
circuit court was reversed, the judge
filing this reason for his action:
ut must be conceded that if the CON
tract between appellant and her hus-
band related to services performed by
her in the discharge of her household
duties, and the duties incumbent upon
her to perform by reason of her mar
ital relations then there would be no
consideration to support the contract.
The law imposes upon her the dis
charge of such duties. and IA contract
between them, whereby he was to pay
her for such services, could not he up
held, as il would be against public pol
icy. Where married woman per
forms labor for her husband or family
in the discharge Of her hous,Lc.d or
marital duties such labor must J. G per
forH;G without financial comEou. alton
from the husband. for the reciprocal
relations that exist between them But
the labor performed by appellant was
not OF that character.
she was under no obligation to
leave her home and its surroundings
and spend years Of her life in store
clerking for her husband, yet she did
this, under IA contract that she was
to be paid for it. The consideration
was sufficient to support the contract.
The money which was paid to APP
pellant under contract with her hus-
band, and which was reduced to
possession. and which she loaned to
him, is such an obligation, based upon
sound, equitable reasons. that it will
be enforced. The judgment is re-
versed Chicago Chronicle.

Political Union Means Success

Harris Baldwin and wife, of Spokane,
were in North Yakima on Monday. Mr..
Baldwin is prominent lawyer OF eastern
attendance on the supreme court. He
will be remembered by many here for a
speech delivered in the last state peoples
which gave him state reputation as an
eloquent speaker. He believes there is
no hope for the reform party in this state
next year unless the conservative ele-
ments of the three parties get together
and act in harmony for the general
welfare.
