AS the Sage was taking his daily
stroll one afternoon and congratulate
ing himself that his efforts had made
the world a heap better. a Peasant
threw himself at his feet and cried
out:
20, wise man, but l have come TO
thou slingest about with such liber-
atty"
Whats the row this timer" asked
the Sage.
"The same old thing-trouble with
my wife. She is obstinate and pig
headed, and she will not sacrifice her
opinions to mine. For the last week
there has been silence in my house.
neither speaking to the other because
of her obstinacy. Is it right that a
wife should thus weary her hus-
band?"
Hardly. Hast blustered?"
"a thousand times, but she is on 10
the game"
Hast tried box on the carr"
81 hast, but she fought back and got
the better of it"
Hast walked off with thy bundle
and remained away for a week to give
her time for reflection?" continued the
Sage.
Yea l have even done that, but
when l finally sneaked back / found
her growing fat over 1t. Is it not writ
ten. o Sage, that husband shall con-
troll his own house?"
TT surely is, but you see"-
And that his wife shall bend TO
him?"
Even so, but you know
"And that his decisions shall rule
and be as law to herr"
"All that is true" said the Sage.
"but what was the dispute about this
timer"
Why, o oracle OF Wisdom. we were
disputing as TO the age OF the world
contended for 50,000,000 years. but
she would allow only 10000 600.
Wouldst not call that brazen effron-
terry in wife?"
At that moment the wife hove In
view, having the family ASS loaded
with wheat and walking by her side,
and the Sage smiled softly and said:
whilst thou has been contending
for what no man surely knows. thy
wife hast heard that wheat has gone
up to 81 cents bushel and IL rushing
cargo to market. This but carries out
what 1 have twice attempted to tell
thee-that a husband should rule In
law and custom. but when a husband
hath a wife with a tongue and tenn
per and business head to boot. a
husband should be willing to comprom.
Use on fair figure"

Children of . Woman Who Posed as
Doctor and Wore Male Attire to
Get a Fortune.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 1.-THE
Courier Journal tomorrow will say:
Hugh VI. Haviland, Of Greenville.
KY, claims to be one Of the heirs of
fortune left by .'Dr. Theodore Keat-
tle," another Murray Hail.
DR. Keattle" died at Punta Gorda.
Fla, in 1896. Then it was discovered
that the doctor" was woman and for
more than thirty years had masQuer-
AIDED.
The woman was mother. Those who
were supposed to know, say that in
1853, a little boy was placed in the
Protestant Episcopal orphan asylum at
Louisville by Or. Keattle,' then con-
fessedly woman, known as Kate Hav-
Hand. The boys names was Hugh H.
Haviland. He was later bound to a
farmer, and finally rose TO an independ-
emit position at Greenville. This is the
story of Hugh Haviland told by him
self in letter to the Courier Jour
nal.
For nearly forty years he knew moth
ing of his parents.
Then came letter from New York
lawyer, G. Tarleton Goldwaithe, al
broadway, whowrote that while search
ing for the heirs Of ''Dr. Theodore
Keattle," whom death revealed to be
a woman, - had found that in 1853,
she, going by the name OF Kate Havi-
land, had put Hugh Fl. Haviland in
the Protestant Episcopal orphan asy-
lum at Louisville. Hugh H. Haviland,
at Greenville, Is regarded as that boy.
That Kate Haviland was DIR. Keattle,"
was, it is said, practically established
by witnesses in New York and Brook
lyn.
But Haviland is heir to but half the
fortune A girl who is expected to d.
vide with him. Grace M. Clark Elliott,
Haviland's niece, so lawyer Goldwaithe
says, believes herself sole heiress to
Imbray Clark, of Australia, who died
worth $25 100000.
Hugh Havilard's little sister, Kate
Haviland's other child, according to
Lawyer Goldwaithe, was put by the
mother with foster parents. The girl
rose up, married Imbray Clark, and
went west with him. In 1877 they
went to San Francisco and there
child was born. Within two weeks the
delicate mother, Kate Haviland's
daughter, died.
The baby was placed in the hands
of Mrs. Martha A. Griswold, superin-
tendent of the Home of the Friendless,
by Imbray Clark, who sailed almost
immediately for Australia. Some time
after Mrs. Griswold heard of Clark's
death and advertised for some one to
adopt the little orphan. The Elliotts
responded, and on August 81, 1878, were
granted papers of adoption by a court
in San Francisco. In 1897 the Elliotts
learned that Imbray Clark had left a
fortune of S25, 900, 900, to which there
was no heir, and began a fight for their
foster daughters rights.
The estate is tied up in the English
courts, and though hundreds of claim
ants have come forward, none has been
able to prove claims to the satisfaction
of the British authorities.
Grace NJ Clark Elliott had almost
given up hope when Lawyer Gold
waite's letters came telling her she
was heiress to the estate of her
grandmother, the spurious DIR. Keat-
tie" of Punta Gorda. Now Miss Elliott
expects to prove her claim.

TROUBLE IS BREWING
Between the Manufacturing POtters
and Their Employees.


and Their Employees.
TRENTON, N. J., April 11.-There
is trouble brewing between the manu-
featuring potters of the country and
their employees. particularly with re-
spect to the western potteries. The
men who are employed in the western
potteries are dissatisfied because as
they claim, the scale of wages agreed
upon by the manufacturers and the
men have not been put in full opera
ton. The men in the western district
are endeavoring to have their national
organization call all the men out if
the manufacturers do not agree to their
demands. The men who comprise the
Trenton end of the organization are
opposed to the movement because they
have no special grievance.

AMERICAN SCHOOLS
And Educational Institutions Dis
cussed Mt the Roman Catholic
Educational Conference.


Educational Conference.
CHICAGO, April Educational leg
islation in the United States was attack
ed to-day in the discussions at the Ro-
man Catholic educational conference,
as being unfair, partial and prejudicial
to the private rights of individuals
and to religious institutions in the
tendency of the laws to absolute State
control of the schools. The educators
urged combined and earnest action to
extend and perfect the Roman Catholic
educational system and protect the in
situations championing it, in order to
win out in the competition between the
secular and church institutions 1t was
claimed by the speakers that the pres
ent time is the most critical one to de-
termine the supremacy or weakening
of the church educational system.
The paper on Educational legisla
ton in the United States which
brought out the discussion, was read by
Rev. James P. Pagan, S. j., vice presi-
dent of Georgetown University. Detail
ed accounts of the laws enacted in diff
ferent States relative ITO education and
those now being proposed were consid-
cred, and their tendencies, prejudicial
to the church institutions, it was as
serted, were pointed out. The free text
books, the bureau of education, the Ma
tional Educational Association, the
State control of private schools and
colleges, were discussed in connection

in the Philippines and the Filipino
leader safe in Jail and every
thing going on as smooth and
lovely as the administration could
wish it, it will be necessary, we
are old, to keep an army OF o.
DOu troops in the archipelago for an III
definite period, while the President will
leave the further work Of benevolent
assimilation to the tender mercles OF
The War Department until July 1, when
commissioner Taft will he made Cover
nor. An effort will then be made to sub
stitute civil for military rule. But the
military establishment of 10000 men
vii, still remain, and there is no tell
ing when, if ever, it will be deemed
safe to reduce that force.
Yet it was only three short years
ago that the entire standing army OF
TIE United States was but $4,000 men,
All told. Evidently Uncle Sam with his
new possessions has taken up perma-
nent military burden which will hence
forth be a notwithstanding dead weight
on his shoulders.
Meanwhile, as to Cuba, if the admin
istration at Washington were deliber-
ately aiming to provoke the Cubans to
an outbreak, it could not pursue
course better adapted to produce that
result. The President is said to be
anxious to placate Cuban sentiment;
but openly breaking faith with the peo-
pie Of that island and denying them
the independence formally promised by
Congress is certainly not the best way
to do it.
Nor is the arrogant attitude of Gov
ernor General Wood calculated to ease
the friction that now exists. For
instance, dispatch tells us that the
reinstatement of Thomas Padro by
Governor General Wood as Mayor of
Santiago caused an outbreak of indig
nation among the people, five thousand
of whom paradcd the streets shouting
Down with the Plat amendment
absolute independence, or war; and
breathing anathemas against the
United States for its lack of faith. This
probably indicates the real Cuban senti-
ment throughout the island, Gen
Woods official dispatches to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t is impossible
to conceal the fact that the Cubans are
bitterly opposed to accepting the Platt
amendment
Meanwhile, it is officially denied that
any withdrawal of troops from Cuba is
contemplated. Rather, the likelihood is
they will be increased since the admin
istration announces it's determination
10 carry out the Platt act which has so
incensed the Culbans by destroying the
hope of their promised independence.
1t would take but little at present to
provoke these hot-blooded people into
open hosunIties. Then Mr.. Mckinley
would need another army.

meet these grave matters seem to
have been passed over unnoticed-
According to the divorce proceed
ings mentioned, everything had been
overlooked until one day her husband
INDUCED a little within of his of eat
ing his cake before his soup. This
slight reversal in the order of diet
Immediately raised trouble. The hus-
band rather liked the change and
continued to lay a foundation of cake
at every meal. Now he is to be di-
vorced. His wife claims that any
man who eats cake at the front in
stead Of the rear end of a meal is
not in his right mind and no fit per-
son to DC a spouse.
The moral to this is surely that if
a husband is & great sinner it is
safe for him to settle down in New
Jersey. But if his sins be small he
should move oft west where cake
goes any time you can get 1t.
