tention should be on the other side, and Iso married fife differs entirely from court ship, instead of remaining the same.
 Take note of the husband when he comes home in the evening. He expects his chair to be ready for him, and his slippers to be within reach; if they are not, he begins to grumble, but If they are as he expects them il never enters into his head to utter a word of thanks. It is all as a matter of course with him; 1t Is part of a wifes duty" part of her work" to see to his comfort. He does not consider that she has had very tiring or harassing day of housework, or with the baby, and very sell dom makes any attempt to wait on her, though she may be as tired as he.
 Again, no matter how tired she Is, she must always be cheerful when he comes home, or he will probably tell her, with thnly yelled sarcasm, that 1t is a rare treat to come home tired out with the wor- ries of business and find ones wife look ing as dull as ditch water.
 And when she tries to be cheerful, and talk to him, he will tell her not to worry him with petty details about the trivial things which happened in her limited sur roundings; he wants to be quiet, as he has had some knotty problems to solve, which have fatigued him. Then he lights his pipe or cigarette and takes up book and that is about the last she hears of him (unless he wants something) till he yawns and asks if she is going to sit up all night.
 Or he may be of that other kind-the man who walks off to his club. or goes some where to play billiards and tells his wife and other people that the only place where fellow can be really comfortable and do as he pleases is the club, or some other piace where men do congregate. And the wife, who has had no society during the day, has to do without it in the evening also.

Are Most Husbands Selfish?

A correspondent to the Philadelphia North American writes thus upon the sub feet of the selfishness of husbands:
 Of course, when husbands see this they will pooh-pooh it, and say that a wife's prejudice Is responsible for the assertion that the average husband is selfish; but let us go into few details. and we shall see that there is solid foundation for the statement.
 It would be difficult to find a more scath- ing criticism of a husbands conduct than the frequent remark that such or such a couple ''are still lovers, even after so many years of married life" The very observa- tion shows that the thing is quite excep- tional, yet why should it be? Simply be- cause the husband has altered When courting he was polite and attentive-in plain language, unselfish; after marriage he seems to think that every scrap of at

One grain of the active principle in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can per form for himself in the following manner: Cut hard-boled egg into very small pieces. as it would be if masticated; place the egg and two or three of the tablets in bottle or jar containing warm water heat ed to 9S degrees (the temperature Of the body) and keep 1t at this temperature for three and one-half hours. at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of hungry boy.
 Ths point of this experiment Is that what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg fin the bottle 1t will do to the egg or meat in the stomach, and nothing elsa will rest and invigorate the stomach So safely and effectually.

An Alleged EIopement Case.

Mrs. Helen Brown, wife of Senator
Rufus T.. Brown OF Burlington, left
her home the night of November IL,
telling the servant that she was going
to Montpelier to see her husband and
that she would return in two weeks.
She did not return nor did her
husband see her in Montpelier. These
facts have just become matters OF
public knowledge. The following
day DIR. Charles w. Jacobs of Rich
mond also left for parts unknown and
strong chain of circumstantial
evidence indicates that the two eloped
together. Neither Senator Brown nor
Mrs. Jacobs have any knowledge Of
the whereabouts OF the wife and
husband. DR.. Jacobs, it is said, has
been more or less intimate with Mrs.
Brown for years. He was her family
physician and came over from Rich
mond to attend her. DIR. Jacobs
married Josie Whitcomb 25 years
ago. He graduated at the University
Of Vermont medical college with the
aid OF his wife's money and the two
settled down in Richmond, where
they were born and reared; the doctor
to work up an excellent practice and
his wife to become an admirable help
mate. Two daughters were born to
them. They are both married. DIR.
Jacobs is an excellent physician and
most skillful surgeon. Ii is not
known at just what time the intimacy
began between him and Mrs. Brown.
1t has been thorn in the flesh to
Mrs. Jacobs for many years. The
doctors reputation suffered, and he
began to drink. He had practice
enough but did not attend TO il
properly. Some II years ago he went
out of business only to start in again
later.

The OIeomargarine Bill.

The Grout oleomargarine bill passed
the House Friday after warm debate.

which Gen. Grout has been identified

and one of which he and his friends
may well be proud. Ii it shall pass
the Senate and become a law. it
promises to put an end to the ruinous
competition to which butter makers
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1900-12-13

have been subjected by the offering OF
substitutes in the market calculated TO
deceive the purchaser, who believes he
is getting honest butter.
There has been plenty of state, and
some federal, legislation, calculated
to hamper oleo, but it has not amount
ed 10 much by reason of the ease with
which the several regulations have
been avoided. The Grout bill is new
departure. 1t gives to the several
states authority to deal with imitation
butter brought in from other states in
such a manner as they shall see fit.
under their police powers, but this is
not to give them the right TO forbid its
importation altogether. Still further,
it changes the existing federal tax Of
two cents a pound on oleo so that
uncolored oleo shall pay only one
fourth cent per pound, while oleo
colored to initiate butter shall pay ten
cents per pound. The purpose is. and
the effect would be, TO tax out of exist
ence imitation butter, but not to inter
fere materially with any product sold
on its own merits, the one-fourth cent
tax on uncolored oleo being only suffi-
cient to cover the expense of inspection.
Butter has no quarrel with oleo,
except when it tries to sail under
butter colors. II people want TO eat
oleo, nobody objects, so long as they
do it Understandings. But when a
cheap product of the packing houses,
made from refuse meats and oils and
nobody knows what, is colored so rs
to initiate butter and is sold for butter,
it is right and proper that butter
makers should protest against the
unfair competition and that butter
eaters should take steps TO prevent
being imposed upon. Everyone
knows that there would be no
demand for oleo by consumers, if
its opportunity to pass as genuine
butter were taken away. Even though
it is cleverly made SO as to almost
defy detection by the sense Of taste
from butter itself, it has no show the
it has to stand on its own
merit, instead of borrowed plumage.
The law compelling oleo to be labelled
as such is generally avoided by folding
the labels so they cannot be read, or
them before the consumer
sees them.
The packing houses have made a
most determined opposition to the
Grout bill. Their representatives in
Congress have been supported in many
cases by members from labor constit-
uencies, who claim that the price of
butter will be so increased, if the bill
becomes a law, that it would be real
to the consumer. On the
other hand, the dairying interests
have pressed the bill and compelled
many unwilling Congressman to vote
for it. If the price OF butter shall rise,
the dairymen claim with reason that
it will be case of coming into their
own, from which they were unjustly
and unfairly ousted by the imitation
of their product. Their case is so
clearly founded on right that it ought
to win, and will, doubtless. in tie next
Congress, if not in this. To Vermont
it would mean great deal. Our
in both houses will
work for its passage.

Walter Wellman, the correspondent, |
speaking as one having authority, in
an article in the Review of Reviews,
says that the administration has a
well-defned policy which it will
pursue toward Cuba. The people OF
that island will be permitted to enjoy
partial, but not complete, indepen-
dence. The United States will with
draw all its forces except small details
at the capital and some Of the principal
ports. Cuba will be absolutely free so
far as her internal government is
concerned. The United States will
only require, for the sake OF the future
welfare of the island, that a provision
be inserted in the constitution, now
being framed by the Cuban conven-
tion, limiting the amount TO which the
government shall bond. As to her
foreign relations, however, Cuba will
be entirely dependent on the United

will be under the control of this
government. The reasons given for
this requirement are that the Cubans
are not capable OF conducting these
diplomatic matters as they should be
conducted, and, more important still,
this government is interested lest some
European nation should in some way
gain a fOothold. If Cuba were left to
go it alone We are responsible for
her independence and the world looks

therefore, have some authority over
her, and it is thought tins plan will
