WIVES OF LONG AGO.
Extracts from Rules for Their Cow
eminent Published
1910.

The following are some extracts
from a set of "Rules TO BE Observed
by Wives" printed in number OF
the London Ladies' Magazine of 1919
They are comprehensive and deal
with almost every emergency possible
in married life:
"When a young gentleman makes
YOU an offer to hold yourself flattered
by his preference and proportionate'
ly grateful
"If you accept him (Which we will
suppose, of course), study his temper
and inclinations that you may better
accommodate your own to them.
"After marriage obey him cheer
fully, even though you think him in
error; It is better that he should do
wrong In what he commands than
that you should do wrong in object
ing to it.
IF he hatters you do not forget
that it is but fattery; think lowly OF
yourself and highly of him, or at
least make him believe so.
"Bear in mind continually that you
are weak and dependent, and even If
you are beautiful that It adds to
your weakness and dependence.
'If you displease him be the first
to conciliate and to amend! there
is no degradation in seeking peace
or in showing that you love your hus'
band better than your Triumph
when you rise in the morning re-
solve to be cheerful for the day; let
your smiles dispel his frowns
"Endeavor to save rather than to
spend your husband money; if his
fortune be large, strive to preserve
it; if small, to increase it,
"Be not importunate or obtrusive
in your fondness and choose proper
occasions for your caresses, lest they
prove wearisome.
"Your sex is most exposed to SUI.
fering, because it is always in de.
pendence; be neither angry nor
ashamed of this dependence on hus.
band not Of any of those which are
in the proper order of Providence.
"Finally, recollect always that God
has made you subject to him and that
he is your natural guardian and pro-
tector; that you owe your husband
not less honor than love and not less
love than obedience"
In harmony with these "Rules to Be
Observed by Wives" are the terms OF
Interpretation in which a New York
magazine of a few years later com
ments upon a scheme afoot in Bos-
ton for the establishment of a La
dies Reading Room"
at is contemplated to establish q
ladies' reading room in Boston. We
shall not wish our brethren of 'Ath'
ems Joy or the success of the scheme
1t has to us a most unfeminine and
untoward aspect. What! remove our
wives, mothers and sisters even in
the hours they devote to intellectual
recreation, from their proper sphere
and circle at home? WHAT becomes
then, of the domestic duties and the
endearing ties which bind our rough
er sex to the freside, lighted up more
by the animated smiles of the beings
which welcome us there than ever
the intense flames of the most bril-
liant Lehigh? Away with the
! thought! 1t is enough to dye the
whole population blue?"

BARKER FOUND GUILTY.


New York, June 22.-The jury be-
fore which Thomas e. Barker, of Ar
lington, N. j., was tried for shoot
ing with intent to kill Rev. John Kel-
Ter, of the same town, took one bal
lot yesterday afternoon and returned
with verdict of guilty. Under the
charge of the court they could do lit
tie else. The jurors were told that
they must set aside all else and de-
eide only if Barker with intent fired
at Keller. That was the law and they
must obey it. Notice of appeal was
given by Barker's counsel.
Barker last night found himself
once more an inmate of the county
Jail. lie must remain there until $lO,-
900 bail is furnished. Before him
stands possible seven years impris-
onment and n fine of as much as
$1,000.
Mrs. Barker was not in the court
room to hear the verdict. She was
In another part of the courthouse
and when told of the verdict sobbed
bitterly. Mr.. Keller was also absent
and showed no emotion when told OF
the verdict Barker had expected
an acqulttal. He based his hopes
upon the strong plea of his counsel
when he dwelt upon the unwritten
law that n man has right to kill
where the sanctity of his home is
assailcd. Whatever the effect OF this
line of pleading upon the jury, it was
swept away by the cold charge of the
court that "the story Of the alleged
outrage, or the outrage itself II true,
was not justification Of the defend
ants assault"

REPORT ON BoER WAR.
Capt. slocum, U. s. A., Gives the War De-
partment His Opinion About What lie
saw 10 South Africa.

Washington, June 22.-Capt. Slo-
cum, Eighth cavalry, who was mill
tary attache with the British army
during the early part Of the Boer war,
has made his report to the war de-
partment. At the time of the British
defeat at Colenzo, December %, 1899,
Capt. Slocum said he considered the
situation OF the British the most
critical. They had been defeated all
along the line, and had the Beers as
sumed offensive operations the tng-
fish army, with long and thinly-
guarded lines, would have been placed
in great jeopardy. Capt. Slocum also
was with Lord Roberts and describes
in detail the movement toward KIM
berley. He says that Roberts was
confronted with crisis which would
have staggered and been the undoing
OF many commander-in-chiefs. His
advance to Kimberley and beyond was
successfully carried out and the sur
render Of Gen. Cronje changed the
situation and relieved the critical po-
sition Of the British army. Speaking
Of the Beers, Capt. Slocum says they
were splendid on the defensive, but
did not consider offensive movements
as part Of their proper tactics. He
speaks Of the British people as ma
ton exemplifying the phrase "brave
to a fault" and adds: IF they were
less brave there would have been
many less faults and more victories
in this war. Caution they have not,
but Just bunt ahead and take the
consequences. Lord Robrts is shin
ing and glazing exception to this
rule. All in all, consider him to be
remarkable man and general"
He says the English artillery had
tremendous preponderance over that
of the Beers, who rarely ever 'aed
their artillery. Capt. Slocum says
smolieless powder enables an army to
conceal itself, although artillery may
be located by the flash. Balloons and
powerful telescopes must be used to
locate an enemy.
Speaking of the march of the Brit
ish army from Bloemfontein to Pre-
toria, he dwels on the indifference
of the officers to enforce orders for
safety and the reluctance of the SOL
diers to entrench themselves. The
infantry never rush in their attack,
but march calmly forward.
Capt. Slocum saw mounted men
waiting for orders to advance sit
erect, making a perfect target for the
rife at short range. He adds;
"They have not the individuality and
resources of our men, but for in
domitablc courage, uncomplaining
fortitude and implicit obedience, they
are beyond criticism"

OPENING BY LOTTERi.


Washington, June 22.-What has
heretofore been a mere matter OF
plausible speculation relative to the
method to be adopted in opening the
Indian lands in Oklahoma to settle
ment is now the fixed decision of the
department. The old horse race will
be done away with, and in its place
will be tried suitable method of
letting the public select the lands by
a drawing. Assistant Commissioner
of the General Land Office Richards
recommends plan which provides
for a double slip Of paper on which
an applicants name, address and
other needed information is written.
He is given one slip and the duplicate
is folded and sealed in an envelope
and deposited in box, which, when
every entry has been sealed, is sent
to Washington. Each envelope is
numbered consecutively, as received.
and each applicant regardless of the
number who apply, is given one of
the numbered slips of paper. All the
envelopes in the box are then SHAKEN
up and a drawing takes place. The
first number out entities the holder
of the number corresponding with the
number in the envelope to the first
selection of land, the second next, and
so on till as many numbers have been
drawn as there are quarter sections
of land, probably 1880. All in ex-
cess of that number draw nothing.
Whatever the plan adopted, it has
been decided that it will be clearly
set forth in the presidents proclama-
ton, together with all other details
touching the subject.

Toledo, o., June 2l.-Yesterday aft
ernoon several fishermen, while stroll
ing along the river two miles south
of this city, discovered a large iron
safe on which was the name of the
Pacific Express company. The door
apparently had been battered in with
n hammer. On the inside were a num-
Der of empty bags and waybills. The
police and local officers of the express
company were at once notified. The
express clerks stated that such a safe
was sent out of this city Tuesday
night in through car for St Louis
and Omaha, but declined to say what
II contained. There were six money
bags in the safe when found, four
marked st. Louis and two marked
Omaha. They don't indicate what
their contents might have been.

tally Injured-The Details OF the
Storm Rather Meager.

Omaha, Neb., June 22.-Special dis
patches to the World-llerald from
Naper, Neb., coming via Stuart, Neb.,
because of disruption of communion
tons, tell of the frghtful work of a
tornado which visited that vicinity
Thursday night, the details being OBJ
tainable only late yesterday evening.
The following series of dispatches
have SO far been received:
One of the most destructive lorna
does to human life that ever occurred
In Nebraska crossed down the Keya
Paha river Thursday evening at six
o'clock. The river Is south of here
five miles, and only meager reports
are obtainable. One family of seven
the Greenng-are all killed and
out of another family of six-the An
derson--two are killed and the bal
ance, except the father, are fatally
injured. No other casualties are as
yet reported.
The families of Jacob Berg and
Metz were injured somewhat, when
their houses were demolished, but not
seriously. All communication with
the outside world is cut off and 1t is
impossible to learn what damage the
storm did along the Keya Paha river
west of where the Greening and An
derson families were found.
A great crowd of people visited the
homes of the stricken families and
are doing all they possibly can for
the injured. The dead were buried at
two o'clock yesterday
Mr.. y. M. Casteller, Of Blair, accom-
panied by George Faber the county
treasurer of Washington county, who
are making trip over the county,
passed over the tornado district about
an hour before the storm.
The big wagon bridge across the
Keya Paha river was completely de-
stroyed. Mr. Casteller, who saw the
Herman tornado, says that this had
been much more violent. The World
Herald correspondent visited the
houses Of Messrs. Greening and An
derson yesterday, but where once
stood fine dwellings, and other build
ings there was nothing to be seen of
them except kindling wood
The dead were removed to a neigh
boris house and were laid out and the
wounded taken care Of by the physi-
clans from Naper.
Six hours before the storm the sun
was shining. The storm cloud APP
peared about five o'clock and Travelled
down the Keya Paha river. 1t seemed
to rise up and skip some houses and
then swoop down and demolish every
thing. 1t was preceded by severe
hailstorm, Stones fell that measured
ten inches in circumference. The
hotel at Naper furnished ice cream
frozen from the hail Everything in
the track Of the storm was destroyed.
Trees were blown down and the
smaller ones were stripped of leaves,
and barbed wire fences were carried
600 yards. The furniture that was In
the homes of the Anderson and
Greetings cannot be found. A trunk
and pieces of the table were picked
up a half mile away.
